Chapter 302: Smoke Rising from the Ancestral Grave
The junior high school entrance examination is scheduled before the college entrance examination, so the results will be released first.
On the day the results were released, three pairs of parents stood outside the school gate.
Xiaoting and Dongzhe have met the requirements for direct promotion based on their midterm exam scores, and today they are just confirming it, mainly for Pengfei.
The person who posted the notice came and other parents rushed over.
"Let's go, Pengfei." Dongzhe called.
"I don't dare. My legs are shaking." Pengfei is usually so brave that he can go to heaven and earth, but now he feels that he can't even walk.
"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Dongzhe gave Pengfei a look and walked into the crowd alone.
The poster shouted impatiently, "Move back a little! We can't even put up the notice. What are you going to see? It'll be torn apart in a moment, and you won't be able to read it!"
Two more school staff members came out and moved the people away to leave enough space for the person who was posting the notice.
As soon as everyone retreated, Dongzhe moved forward. He was agile and was at the front in no time.
After the list was posted, he finished reading it and quickly came out.
After coming out, he didn't jump or leap, nor did he run, but walked back slowly.
At this moment, everyone became nervous.
Pengfei had already hidden behind Zhou Huaiyi and covered his ears.
When Dongzhe came closer, Zhou Huaiyi, Huang Ling, and Xiaoting said at the same time:
"I passed the exam."
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng looked at the three people.
"Look at that little fist, he's trying to restrain himself!" Zhou Huaiyi chuckled.
"I can hardly suppress the corners of my mouth." Huang Ling said.
"If he really didn't pass the exam, he wouldn't have come back so soon. He even ran two steps just now. He walked slowly on purpose when he thought of scaring us." Xiaoting explained.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng looked at each other and said "Oh~" at the same time.
"I told you he's their biological child! You still don't believe it." Song Ying curled her lips at Lin Wufeng.
Zhou Huaiyi turned around and pulled Pengfei out from behind him, saying with a smile, "Pengfei, don't be afraid, you've passed the exam."
Pengfei covered his ears and shook his head, refusing to listen, with a look of horror on his face.
Dongzhe came over to scare them, but everyone was looking at him with laughter. He knew he had failed again, so he walked over to Pengfei, pulled his hands off his ears, and shouted:
"You passed! But you're third from the bottom! Haha! I read all the way to the last page, and it nearly scared me to death!"
Pengfei blinked, tears began to well up in his eyes, and he tried hard to hold them back.
When everyone cheered and applauded, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes and they fell.
Then, the tears turned into wailing.
Dongzhe put his arm around his brother's shoulders, covered his mouth with his hand, dragged him behind a tree, and whispered:
"It's no use! Why are you still crying? This is the school gate! I'll be embarrassed if my classmates see us!"
"Woo woo woo~"
"Still crying, stop crying!"
“Wuwuwuwu~Ahhhh~”
The parents left the two crying behind the tree and walked over to the list to look at it again.
Xiaoting's name is the third one, and she is third in the grade.
When she saw it, she frowned and sighed.
"Oh my God, Xiaoting, please stop sighing! My Xiaoting is the best!" Song Ying hugged her in her arms.
"Yeah." Xiaoting hummed softly.
The two looked down and found Lin Dongzhe's name on the next piece of paper.
Song Ying thought she was dazzled, so she let go of Xiao Ting, rubbed her eyes, and waved to Lin Wufeng:
"Wu Feng, come here, come here, look and see if this is the three words Lin Dongzhe"
The direct admission list was on the first five sheets. Lin Wufeng knew that Dongzhe's midterm exam results were just barely enough to qualify for direct admission, so he started looking from the fifth sheet backwards.
Lin Wufeng glanced sideways and saw Song Ying standing between the first and second boards. She was stunned for a moment, then slid over in one step.
Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi also focused their attention on this list.
"Really..." Lin Wufeng murmured, "The second list, the whole grade..."
"I count, I count..." Song Ying said excitedly.
"Twenty-two." Xiaoting had already counted.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng, who were bending over, looked at each other.
Then, Song Ying howled.
The crying just stopped behind the tree over there and started again over here.
"Wu Feng, hurry up and call Fujian to see if there's smoke coming out of your ancestral grave! Ah ah~~~~"
Lin Wufeng smiled helplessly: "No need to fight, it's already happened."
Zhuang Chaoying also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter which place he ranked, as long as he passed the exam, his mission was half completed.
"Come on, I'll treat everyone to noodles at Songhelou! Teacher Zhuang, Sister Zhu, come together," Song Ying invited.
Zhu Xiuyu smiled and refused: "No, no, thank you, Song Ying. Yuanyuan is still helping to look after my stall, I have to go back quickly."
Zhuang Chaoying looked at Zhu Xiuyu and said, "Thank you, Song Ying. You guys go! I have something else to do."
He had to go through all the procedures to go to No. 10 Middle School, and also prepare some lesson plans and test questions in advance so that he could take root in the mathematics group at the beginning of the next semester.
More importantly, he felt very inferior in front of them and didn't dare to go in and out with them.
"Pengfei, go ahead!" Zhu Xiu Yu patted Pengfei's shoulder.
The two watched the four people leave with their three children.
"I was thinking about it just now... thinking about treating them to a meal. I know that Xiaoting's mother has contributed a lot to Pengfei's success." Zhuang Chaoying whispered.
Zhu Xiuyu looked up at him and said mockingly, "Director Zhuang, you know what hindsight means, right?"
Zhuang Chaoying gritted his teeth and his face turned red.
"Let's not talk about studying. Just calculate how many meals Pengfei eats from them in a year. You never mentioned it. It's just because their family is rich that Pengfei can eat whatever he wants, right? It's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks, right? Now that the rations are not so tight, do they buy rice for free?
If you don't give money, forget it. But you should show some appreciation during holidays and birthdays. If you feel bad for Aling, shouldn't Song Ying's family feel bad too?"
Zhuang Chaoying was so ashamed by what she said.
He didn't know that Zhu Xiuyu often helped to repay favors and they didn't want money, so she could only give them some of her favorite food.
Zhu Xiuyu did not let Zhuang Chaoying go, and continued:
"Oh, Director Zhuang is a civilized man. He's particular about... what's it called? I'm not educated enough to tell you. Oh, a gentleman's friendship is as pure as water, right? You're a gentleman, and you can't stand our mercenary atmosphere."
"I was inconsiderate. I understand. I'll make some arrangements and invite them to dinner at my house." Zhuang Chaoying's face turned from red to black.
"Come to my house for dinner and I'll know. If you treat me and I cook, I won't get any income for half a day. I'll be exhausted and the good reputation belongs to you, right? Sorry, if you want to treat me, you should treat, cook and clean up yourself."
Even if Zhuang Chaoying was willing, it was useless. What he made could only fill his stomach, and it was definitely not suitable for treating guests. He looked at Zhu Xiuyu and said:
"Then let's invite them to dinner at the restaurant, but would you please join us as well?"
"Okay! If there's free food, I'll definitely go." Zhu Xiu Yu said bluntly.
The two have been in this state for the past six months, and Zhuang Chaoying has become accustomed to it.
