After the college entrance examination results came out, some people were happy and some were worried.
The happy family was already overjoyed at this time.
Some were more high-profile, like Liu Lin's family. After checking their college entrance examination scores, the family happily called friends all over the world. The sound of firecrackers had not stopped since noon, with only a brief pause during lunch. The sound continued in the afternoon and lasted until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Those who were more low-key, such as Liang Yin and Wang Jingqi's family, were very happy, but they only informed their close friends and relatives and there was no follow-up.
But Zhou Tao's family is a compromise. They are not too high-profile, but low-profile is not something they want at all.
Ever since Zhou's father and mother learned that their good son Zhou Tao had scored 596 points in the college entrance examination and reached the first-tier score line, they could be seen in every corner of the village all day long.
"Hey, Third Aunt, are you eating? Oh, oh, it's okay! It's okay! I don't want to eat! Didn't our Xiao Tao just take the college entrance examination this year? Haha, he didn't do well! He only got 596 points! Oh no, no, he only got into a key university!"
"Uncle Sun, are you eating? I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat! I've already eaten! By the way, Uncle Sun, how many points did your Sun Xiao get in the exam last year? Which book did he get into? Oh, a second-tier book! Yeah, that's good!"
Oh, my Zhou Tao? My Zhou Tao also took the college entrance examination this year! The results just came out! Haha, he didn’t do very well, he only scored 596 this time! Our Zhou Tao is just playful, there’s nothing we can do! He won’t listen no matter how many times I tell him! If it weren’t for their class teacher’s good management, he might not even be able to get into a second-tier university this time, haha!”
"Old Chen, are you busy? Haha, I've eaten! Your daughter is still in school? Oh, she's going to be in the third year of high school, right?! When she's in the third year of high school, the study workload will be much heavier. Your daughter is in a key high school like No. 1 Middle School! The pressure will be even greater!"
"Our Zhou Tao? Our Zhou Tao is no match! Alas, he can't compare to your daughter! If he were half as smart as your daughter and half as hardworking, he wouldn't have scored only 596 in the college entrance examination this time!"
"Hey, it's just a first-tier university. It's probably difficult to get into a 211 university! Old Chen, tell me, after the results came out, his mother and I had high hopes. But when we found out that Zhou Tao only scored so low, we were so angry. Your daughter is the best. She is a top student from No. 1 Middle School. She will definitely be able to get into a 985 university in the future."
...
...
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, who were spreading the word that their son had failed the college entrance examination but could not suppress the smile from the bottom of their hearts, succeeded in letting most people in the village know in a short period of time that they had a son who had scored 596 and was able to get into a top university.
In order to improve efficiency, the couple even knew how to divide the work and cooperate. When they left home, with the Zhou family's house as a line, Zhou's father was responsible for publicity in the east, while Zhou's mother was responsible for publicity in the west.
After counting, they had basically visited all the neighbors nearby, and Zhou's father and mother, satisfied and thirsty, returned to their home. At this time, more than two hours had passed since they finished lunch and went out.
'Gulp gulp gulp'
When the couple got home, the first thing they did was to pick up their water cups and fill them up frantically.
"Ha! Cool! So relaxing!" Putting down the empty cup heavily, Father Zhou said to Mother Zhou with great pride, "You are worthy of being my son! He was at Old Chen's place just now! You didn't see it, he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, haha, tell him to brag about his daughter in front of me every day!"
"Keep your voice down!" Zhou's mother slapped Zhou's father in dissatisfaction, "My son may be sleeping now! What if you wake him up!"
"Oh, yes, yes, you are right!" The current family status is that Zhou Tao is first, and Zhou's mother is second. After hearing what Zhou's mother said, Zhou's father quickly lowered his voice, "Keep your voices down, keep your voices down! Don't disturb our son! He is our college student now!"
"By the way, do you want to buy a fish or something to cook tonight? Give the child more nutrition? Kill a chicken? Doesn't Zhou Tao like to eat crayfish? I'll go to your third uncle's house and ask him to catch some, and then come back to make spicy crayfish for Zhou Tao?"
"No need for you to remind me! Fish and chicken will be fine, but forget about crayfish? It's too much trouble to clean them!"
"No trouble, no trouble! I'll brush it for you! I must let my son eat spicy crayfish today, I want to reward him well!"
......
Happy people are all alike.
And every unfortunate person has his own misfortune.
In Zhai Wenyuan's view, he was one of the unfortunate people.
The moment he finished the college entrance examination, Zhai Wenyuan knew that his life was ruined.
And today, when the college entrance examination results came out, Zhai Wenyuan's heart, which had been hanging in the balance for some time, finally died.
"435? Zhai Wenyuan, you have the nerve to tell me you did well in the exam? What the hell did you do for those three years in high school!" After Zhai's father knew Zhai Wenyuan's results, he started scolding him. Contrary to her usual behavior, Zhai's mother did not stop him but stood aside and watched coldly.
"Ah?! Speak up! You are playing dumb now! Weren't you very confident after taking the college entrance examination?! You said you would definitely pass the college entrance examination? How much did you score now?"
"435?! The lowest score for a three-year college is 512. You are almost 80 points away from the lowest score for a three-year college! And you dare to ask me to buy you a laptop?"
"You are shameless, but I still have some! With your score, how can I tell my relatives how many points you got in the exam?"
The endless abuse made Zhai Wenyuan fall deeper into silence.
Faced with his father's verbal abuse, Zhai Wenyuan suddenly stood up, ran out of the house, and quickly disappeared from his parents' sight.
"Where the hell are you running to?! Once you get out, don't come back! God damn, it's so fucking embarrassing!" Zhai's father's abuse continued behind him.
"Okay, stop scolding him. He must be feeling bad too!"
"He's still not feeling well? I'm not feeling well either! Has he ever considered my feelings? If he has any shame, he should let me continue to scold him, so that he can learn his lesson. Look at him, what does he look like now!"
...
...
Walking on the street, Zhai Wenyuan felt more helpless than ever before.
Zhai Wenyuan felt that things should not have developed like this.
But when did everything start to go wrong?
Zhai Wenyuan tried hard to recall. Finally, he suddenly realized that since he left Senior 3 (10) for the hypocritical and ridiculous "face" and went to Senior 3 (1), a key class, his bright future began to slide into the abyss.
Thinking of Senior 3 (10), Zhai Wenyuan remembered his classmates from Senior 3 (10) who had attended Zhou Yu’s cram school with him.
Zhai Wenyuan now urgently wants to know how those people performed in the exam?
Zhai Wenyuan hoped very much that those people, like him, only scored more than 400 points and could not even get into the third-tier universities. Only in this way could his wounded heart get a little comfort.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Zhai Wenyuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number he hadn't made for a long time.
'Beep, beep'
The phone rang twice before being picked up.
"Hello, Zhou Tao! This is Zhai Wenyuan! Ah, ah, nothing much, I just wanted to ask how you did in the college entrance examination?"
After getting the answer, Zhai Wenyuan's face was gloomy. He didn't even answer Zhou Tao's question about how many points he got in the exam. He hung up the phone in silence.
596?! Damn it, how could Zhou Tao score 596?!
Zhai Wenyuan did not give up and continued to make the next call.
"Hello, is this Liang Yin? This is Zhai Wenyuan. Have your college entrance examination results come out?...Oh." Once again, Zhai Wenyuan hung up the phone directly.
"Hello, is this Liu Lin? How many points did you get in the exam this time..."
"Hello, Wang Jingqi, how much did you score?"
...
...
Answer after answer made Zhai Wenyuan hang up the phone again and again, which made his face more and more gloomy.
Why? Why can they all do so well in the exam while I can only get 435? ! !
This is not my fault, this...right! That's right! This is all Zhou Yu's fault!
Zhai Wenyuan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, if Zhou Yu had stopped me from changing classes, I would still be in Senior 3 (10)! Then I wouldn't have scored so low on the test, and would have been the same as Wang Jingqi and the others!
Otherwise, how could an idiot like Wang Jingqi score 630? ! ! I am much smarter than him. If I were still in Class 10 of Senior 3, I would definitely do better in this college entrance examination!
So, all this is Zhou Yu’s fault!
"Hahahahahaha, yes, this is all Zhou Yu's problem. I have no problem at all!" Zhai Wenyuan laughed with red eyes and hoarse voice. He felt that he had finally found the source of the problem.
"Zhou Yu, you bastard, if I'm not doing well, you won't be doing well either!"
