"Is it time?"
"One more minute."
There are two computers placed side by side on the desk, and there is a page on each screen with the account number and password already entered.
Yang Si stood beside the computer, bending over to look at the screen. Yang Yun, who was sitting at the computer desk, was also staring at the changes in the second hand numbers, looking nervous.
He Yanfeng looked at his two wives with amusement and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Chen. Jiang Zhuo shook his head. Jiang Chen felt helpless but more moved.
He had never thought that the two families would get together on the day the scores were announced. Yesterday, when he received a call from his parents at the research institute asking him to go directly back to the He family's house in the evening, he was a little surprised. After asking carefully, he found out that Yang Yun had often gone back to the Jiang family to talk to Yang Si during this period.
Due to family reasons, Yang Si didn't have many friends since she was a child, and even fewer close friends. After she married Jiang Zhuo, she focused all her attention on her small family. Later, when Jiang Chen was in elementary school, he fired her job, so she simply focused on her small family. Gradually, she lost contact with her previous friends, and was not much different from a full-time mother.
Yang Yun's experience is actually very similar to Yang Si's. Although she was born into a good family, her family also favors boys over girls. From childhood to adulthood, she did not receive much care except for not lacking money. But what is different for Yang Yun is that she completely left home on the day she became an adult and never contacted her family again.
She earned her own money to go to college, and met He Yanfeng at school. They broke up and got back together many times before they got married. When they were finally together, her family came to her because they coveted the power and interests of the He family. She drove her family away without any mercy. Because of this, Mr. He, who happened to see that scene, had a very bad impression of her.
As a result, her marriage to He Yanfeng was not recognized by the He family until He Qianjian was born. However, because the happiness of this family was hard-won, she cherished it more and wanted to maintain the harmony of the whole family.
Later, He Qianmin and He Qianyu were born. She vowed that she would not be partial to any of her children like her original family did. She tried her best to treat them equally and gave her three children everything that she did not have.
She thought she had done a good job, but she didn't expect that it might be because she was too afraid of having this happiness and this rare peace broken, and too dependent on the satisfaction her husband and children gave her, that when the truth came out one after another, she became indecisive and missed out on more.
Yang Si, who had been unable to muster the courage when she was young, instead gained the determination to make a desperate move after she grew up and had her own family. When Yang Yun was young, she was able to decisively cut off the family ties that she wanted to abandon, but after living a pampered and peaceful life for more than 20 years, she has lost the determination she had in her youth.
The two mothers had the same opportunities, but their lives later changed drastically due to some minor deviations.
These memories were gradually revealed during the conversations, as they got to know each other's past lives, which made them more aware of each other's difficulties and gradually let go of their prejudices against each other. As a result, this scene happened.
This is the most harmonious and happiest way for the two families to get along that Jiang Chen could think of. Before the first meeting between the two parents, Jiang Chen had a plan to work hard for this, but he has been too busy recently and also hopes to give the two families some time to calm down, so he wants to wait for a while before slowly easing the relationship between the two families.
He had thought long ago that if he wanted the two families to completely put aside their grudges and get closer, he would have to make more efforts, spend more time and exert subtle influence to achieve it. But he did not expect that before he took any action, his two mothers solved his problem by themselves.
Jiang Chen knew very well why Yang Yun would go to see Yang Si again and again and try hard to open up a conversation with her when he knew that Yang Si didn't want to see her at all; he knew even more clearly that Yang Si was in a bad mood at the moment, and sometimes even he and Jiang Zhuo didn't want to see her, so she just locked herself in the room, but let Yang Yun into the house to chat with her, and in the end she was even willing to gradually become defensive and sad. Who was it for him to have a good conversation with her?
They were all for him, and perhaps some of them were for He Qianjian, but Jiang Chen didn't care. He didn't know how to express his emotion and gratitude. He could only say thank you countless times in his heart, thank you for having such two mothers, thank you for having such parents and his biological parents, and thank you for being their child.
Recalling this, Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to hide the tenderness in them, but the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was clean and warm.
He Yanfeng glanced at the time casually, sat up straight and said, "Only twenty seconds."
Jiang Zhuo immediately sat up straighter and turned to look at the computer desk. Yang Yun and Yang Si were already sitting in front of the computer, staring at the time without blinking, their expressions unable to hide their nervousness.
"Brother, what's your estimated score?" He Qianmin seemed more anxious than the two mothers. She glanced at her watch from time to time and felt that every minute and every second was particularly long. She couldn't help but ask Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses; "More than seven hundred and four."
After each exam, Jiang Chen's estimate of scores for subjects other than Chinese was usually very accurate, but the Chinese composition was a variable that was difficult to estimate accurately. Sometimes the personal preference of the marking teacher would also play a big role. Fortunately, the topic of the composition this time was relatively favorable to Jiang Chen, but he was not sure that he could get a high score for his composition.
"Wow!" He Qianmin exclaimed, his eyes immediately lit up.
He Qianyu immediately rushed over and hugged Jiang Chen and asked, "Is that the first place?"
Jiang Chen curled his lips, he was sure of this.
"certainly."
He Qianyu hugged Jiang Chen tightly, with a proud look on her face: "Then my brother is the top scorer in science! I want to be the top scorer in the future! Second brother, you must be the top scorer too!"
Seeing that she had set her own goals and did not forget to urge He Qianmin on the side, Jiang Chen could not help but laugh. He scratched her nose and said, "If you want to be the top scholar, you must work hard."
"Of course!" He Qianyu raised her chin as a matter of course and said, "Any reward must be paid for. I will definitely work as hard as you, brother!"
The girl's adult-like tone made the adults in the room smile. Even Yang Si couldn't help but smile. After looking at her, and then at the baby sleeping not far away, the smile in her eyes became even gentler. She hoped that her daughter could be like this when she grows up, graceful, lively and cheerful.
Amidst the laughter and joy, only He Qianjian, who was sitting on the other side, looked dazed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He Qianmin noticed his expression, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt it was a little strange.
He Qianjian's expression now seems a little flustered, but that shouldn't be the case. Even if his grades are not as good as his brother's, they are not much worse. Is he unhappy just because his grades might be worse than his brother's?
He Qianmin didn't have time to think about it before he heard Yang Yun's voice:
"Time is up!"
Twenty seconds passed quickly, and Yang Yun logged into the interface immediately, while also reminding Yang Si who didn't know where he was looking.
He Qianmin immediately came to his senses and saw Yang Si and Yang Yun performing the same operation.
The two fathers who were sitting on the sofa not far away and watching the page jump were originally sitting calmly, but at this moment, one of them inadvertently stretched his neck and the other pretended that his legs were uncomfortable from sitting for too long, so he stood up and moved around near the computer desk.
Jiang Zhuo leaned closer to his wife, staring at the screen: "How is it?"
Yang Si was in no mood to pay attention to him. He stared at the interface that kept spinning but couldn't get out of the way, and said unhappily, "Can't you read it?"
Jiang Zhuo was not angry even though he was yelled at. He touched his nose and moved closer.
He Yanfeng also coughed and stood up, and did not forget to instruct Jiang Chen and He Qianjian: "Why don't you two care about your college entrance examination results? Come with me and take a look."
Jiang Chen was pulled up by He Qianyu. He glanced at He Qianjian, who had no expression from beginning to end. He remembered that he seemed to have not spoken to the system since last night. He was a little surprised, but did not think much about it. He walked forward surrounded by his brothers and sisters.
"Here it comes!" Jiang Zhuo stretched his neck. The pages on the screen were being displayed layer by layer from top to bottom, like Venetian blinds.
The first thing displayed was the candidate's name. Jiang Chen's name appeared on the computer screen in front of Yang Si. Within a few seconds, He Qianjian's name also appeared on the computer screen in front of Yang Yun.
Then came the candidate number and admission ticket number. The four parents waited anxiously, only to find that the computer's internet speed was too slow and the webpage was stuck, which made them feel very nervous.
"Chinese! 148!"
He Qianmin yelled. Jiang Chen was not surprised by the score and knew his final score, but others did not know. He Qianjian's computer did not know whether it was a problem with the web page or the network speed. The page was running very slowly. The candidate number did not appear until this time. It seemed that it would take a while for the score to appear. Therefore, the two pairs of parents stared at the computer that was checking Jiang Chen's grades, waiting for the next subject to appear.
"The math results are out!" He Qianyu relied on her small stature to squeeze next to Yang Si. She clung to Yang Si and hugged the person next to her with joy when she saw the results. She turned around excitedly to find Jiang Chen and announced, "150! Brother, you got full marks in math!"
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded to her.
"Qian Jian's results are out too!" Yang Yun said with a smile, "His Chinese score is also 148, the same as Chen Chen's."
Jiang Zhuo turned his head, glanced at He Qianjian behind him, and praised: "Very good."
From the moment the results were updated, He Qianjian's hands at his side began to tremble more and more, and finally he was so nervous that he put them directly into his pockets. When he saw Jiang Zhuo looking back, he forced a smile, but when he turned around, the smile immediately fell.
He knew that his Chinese and math scores would not be bad, but what did it matter no matter how well he did? There was no system for the next two exams, and he had to rely on guessing. There was no need to guess at the results of his guesses, and his total scores would definitely be appalling.
And all this was caused by Jiang Chen!
