After hesitating for just two seconds, Wang Zhi stood up and took the phone his mother handed over.
But when he took the phone, Wang Zhi subconsciously straightened his body and put away the lazy attitude he had when watching TV just now.
'Wow! I'm Wang Jingqi's father, are you Mr. Sun?'
'Oh, you are Teacher Zhou?'
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Teacher Zhou! Wang Jingqi didn't tell us that he had been reassigned to a new class! We work in other provinces in northern Zhejiang all year round. When there is anything at home, it is usually his grandmother who takes care of the child, so we pay less attention to it."
"Yes, yes, you are right to criticize! We will pay more attention to our children in the future!"
'You said! Oh, the final exam results for this semester are out?'
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Mother, who had been pretending nothing had happened, couldn't help but look at Wang Zhi.
Although they thought they knew their son's abilities very well, Wang's mother couldn't help but feel anxious when she heard her husband and Mr. Zhou, who claimed to be her son's class teacher, say that the call was to inform parents of Wang Jingqi's final grades.
Although she knew that the result would not be unexpected and would still disappoint them, the Queen Mother still held a glimmer of hope and fantasy in her heart.
What if, what if there is a miracle?
The Queen's mother stared at the mobile phone in Wang Zhi's hand, wishing she could take the phone immediately so that she could talk to the head teacher named "Teacher Zhou" herself.
What the Queen Mother didn't expect was that she didn't know what the other party said on the phone, but her husband's face suddenly changed.
"What?! Teacher Zhou, is what you said true or false?!"
The Queen Mother was watching her husband from the side, and noticed that Wang Zhi's expression was like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, sometimes conflicted, sometimes ecstatic, and sometimes a little lost, which made the Queen Mother beside her also conflicted.
What on earth is this saying! It can't be a bad thing! Did Wang Jingqi cheat in the exam? !
'Oh, oh, oh! Okay, okay! Thank you very much! Hey, thank you very much! '
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. On behalf of our whole family, I would like to thank you for educating Wang Jingqi! Thank you for educating our children!" At the end, Wang Zhi didn't notice that he was choking with sobs.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi looked at his old wife beside him.
"What's going on?! Did our son get caught cheating in an exam at school, and someone called our house?! This kid not only has poor grades, but he also doesn't study hard!" Queen Mother said anxiously, "I'm going to go find him now! Let him go with us after the New Year!"
After saying this, Wang Mu was about to go find Wang Jingqi, but before she left the room, she was stopped by Wang Zhi.
The Queen Mother looked at her husband in confusion, but Wang Zhi did not look into her eyes. He just took out a box of Hongmei cigarettes from his pocket with trembling hands and red eyes, lit one and took a deep puff, but was choked by the smoke.
Cough, cough, cough!
A violent coughing made the Queen Mother a little worried, "Slow down! Why...why are you crying?"
Wang Zhi quickly turned his head away and wiped his eyes carefully with the back of his hand. Then he looked at his mother and explained, "Well, I didn't cry. I was choked by the smoke. The smoke was a bit choking and made my eyes a little uncomfortable. It's nothing!"
After the explanation, Wang Zhi cheered up, looked at Wang Jingqi's room with some pride and some disappointment, and said in a complicated tone that was hard to explain, "Just now, my son's class teacher, Mr. Zhou, said that our Wang Jingqi scored 566 in the final exam this time."
"566?! Oh, really? That's great, you're really not here to tell us that our son cheated?!"
...
...
In the evening, at the dinner table.
Wang Zhi, who hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, went to a small shop in the village and bought a bottle of Kouzijiao, which he only drank during the Chinese New Year. He returned home, opened the wine and poured himself a glass.
Wang Zhi filled up the Sanliang cup and looked at Wang Jingqi who was busy eating. He hesitated a little, but finally said, "Would you like to drink together?"
"I don't drink, why should I drink this!" Queen Mother took over the conversation.
"I'm not talking to you!" Wang Zhi was a little annoyed. Why did this old woman respond to everything he said?
After hearing his parents' conversation, Wang Jingqi raised his head and looked at where Wang Zhi was sitting. Seeing Wang Zhi staring at him, Wang Jingqi realized that Wang Zhi was talking to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Jingqi shook his head and said in a low voice, "I have to do the test paper tonight, so I can't drink. Besides, I don't know how to drink."
After listening to this, Wang Zhi didn't force it. He nodded and drank the full glass of white wine.
When Wang Zhi and the other two people at the table saw this, they were all stunned. After Wang Zhi put down his cup, Wang Zhi finally reacted and quickly scolded him, "You are drinking like this! You are risking your life! Why don't you slow down!"
Facing his wife's nagging, Wang Zhi paid no attention to her. He just looked at Wang Jingqi, who was hesitant about whether to speak, and said, "Next year, do well in the college entrance examination. Your mother and I will not force you to go to Jiahe with us."
When Wang Jingqi heard this, he had a strange expression on his face, as if he was wondering why Wang Zhi's mind suddenly changed.
Wang Zhi didn't look at his son. He just picked up the wine glass and poured himself a full glass of wine. As he poured the wine, he said, "Your teacher Zhou called me. He said you got 566 in the final exam."
When Wang Jingqi heard that it was Zhou Yu calling, his puzzled expression disappeared instantly.
It turned out to be Teacher Zhou who called, he thought.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Wang Zhi continued, "You have changed so much in school, but your mother and I don't know about it. This is where we as parents have failed."
"Teacher Zhou told us as parents to pay more attention to you in the future. He also said that with your current grades, it won't be a problem to get into a second-tier university, so he asked you to work harder!"
"Well, you study hard in school. Your mother and I won't hold you back."
After saying this, Wang Zhi's expression instantly relaxed.
After listening to this, Wang Jingqi's nerves, which had been tense for the past few days, finally relaxed.
"I know, Dad, let's eat."
Wang Jingqi nodded and motioned for his father to eat.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became relaxed.
The Queen Mother hurriedly greeted him, "Son, you've worked hard during this period! Eat some pork ribs. You've lost so much weight at school! Eat more! Old Wang, you should eat too. Don't just drink! It's not good for your stomach!"
"Yeah, I know. You eat yours! Wang Jingqi, you eat too. Continue!"
"Thank you, Dad."
......
Some are happy, some are sad.
Not long ago, Wang Jingqi's family received a call from Zhou Yu. As expected, Zhou Tao's family also received a call from Zhou Yu. When they learned that their son had scored more than 500 points in the final exam and had a high probability of getting into a second-tier university in the college entrance examination, Zhou Tao's family was naturally very happy.
After Zhou Tao's father learned from his class teacher that his son had scored 571 in the final exam and would definitely be admitted to a second-tier university next year, with a chance of getting into a first-tier university, he ran around the village, announcing to everyone he met that his son's class teacher said that their Zhou Tao would definitely be admitted to a first-tier university next year.
This made Wang Jin's father, who was from the same village and in the same school and class as Zhou Tao, extremely angry, because Zhou Tao's father had specifically found Wang Jin's father and boasted to him, "Hey, Old Wang, how much did your son get in the exam?"
"Hey~ My son didn't do well in the test, maybe 571! Tsk tsk, our Zhou Tao's class teacher, Mr. Zhou, called me to tell me that the child still has room for improvement! If he can continue to improve, he won't have any problem getting into a top university next year!"
"Why, didn't you answer the call? That's strange. Aren't your son Wang Jin and our Zhou Tao in the same class?"
"Oh, by the way, your son isn't at home? Huh? Really not at home?! Tsk tsk, our Zhou Tao has been writing the papers handed out by the teacher since he came back! Hey, how come this kid works so hard? It's so annoying~ I asked him to go out and play but he wouldn't go out!"
Father Zhou's words made Father Wang's blood pressure rise immediately.
Damn it, I've had enough of my boss's anger when I'm working away from home, and now I have to endure your anger when I get home? !
But unfortunately, Wang Jin was not at home at that time, but was hanging out somewhere unknown. Even if Wang's father wanted to beat him up, he couldn't find anyone to beat him up.
As a result, before Wang Jin came back, Wang's father received a call from Zhou Yu at home.
"What?! Wang Jin got 163 in the final exam?! Excuse me, teacher, what subject is this score in?"
"Total score?!"
Without much greeting, Zhou Yu told the results and hung up the phone.
Wang's father sat in the living room at home and waited until dark. After Wang Jin had finished surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, he slowly walked home.
Seeing Wang Jin coming home with an indifferent look on his face, Wang's father was so angry that he picked up the belt and hit Wang Jin in the face. Wang Jin, who had just come home, was caught off guard.
"Pah!"
"ah!!"
"Pah!"
"Ah!! Why did you hit me?!"
"Pah!"
“Ah!! Stop it! Stop it! It hurts!!”
"You still have the nerve to cry out in pain?! I worked so hard to support you and send you to school, and you treat me like this?! F*ck, your total score is 163? Are you a human being?!"
"Fuck you! Your grades aren't as good as others', but you don't know how to study hard. You go out and fool around every day. Do you have any shame?" After saying that, he raised his hand and hit you with the belt again.
"Pah!"
"Ahhh!!! Grandma! Grandma! My dad is going to beat me to death! Come quickly!!"
