Facing the two sets of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-Study Series" on the table, stacked on top...
The third generation of the Zhang family was really confused.
What does this mean?
His uncle simply said: Work hard!
Just these three words plus a punctuation mark, how do you guess the answer to this riddle?
Xizi, who had just returned from the provincial capital, scratched his head and said, "My uncle must have thought that my university education was a waste and wanted me to start studying again."
Zhang Mingzuo frowned and thought hard before sighing, "My uncle must think that I wasn't recommended for college. Not only did I not work hard, I even forgot what I learned."
"It's not just you. I've long forgotten what I learned all those years ago. Sigh... Xiaocongcong, you haven't practiced your calligraphy for a long time either, right?"
When Zhang Zicong heard what Zhang Mingyou said, he immediately stole a glance at his older brother Zhang Ziwen and said, "I'm busy at work and my two children are young, so I can't take care of them."
Zhang Ziwen glanced at him sideways, "What are you looking at? You're busy, but even busier than your sister-in-law?"
"Brother, what do you mean by uncle?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Ziwen snorted, "My uncle must think you've all grown up. He's always said that learning is lifelong, so stop meddling in other people's business and read more books. If conditions weren't so restrictive right now, he would definitely switch to the Book of Filial Piety."
Zhang Ziwu pretended to wipe the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and said jokingly, "Luckily, I have a study at home. I still read books and practice calligraphy whenever I have free time."
Xizi looked at the brothers and sisters present and said, "Well, let's start practicing calligraphy and reading books when we have nothing to do. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if my uncle asks questions when he returns home."
"Why do I feel something is wrong?"
When Zhang Ziwen heard what Shitou said, he immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
"I can't explain it, I just feel like something's wrong." Shitou frowned and lowered his head. He heard his partner mention that someone had been vindicated.
It's not that he didn't speculate that there was a possibility, but if he said it out loud, he would probably be laughed at. Even if he said it, people would have to believe it. It's been almost ten years, how could the college entrance examination be restored?
Mai Sui, who was standing by, tilted her head and looked at a book. She interrupted their conversation by shaking her hand, "No! You think it was my uncle who warned us? How is that possible? Sister, what do you think?"
"I won't comment." Mai Miao smiled. "I think no matter what my uncle thinks, it's better for us to read more books and educate our children."
Mai Sui immediately rolled her eyes. She couldn't stand it. It seemed like you were the only one with a man and a child! But it was true. It was her own fault that she didn't know where her partner was.
How could Mai Miao not know what her second sister was thinking? She softly suggested, "If you really can't figure it out, write a letter to Ping An."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.
What's the difference between asking if I'm safe and asking my uncles? It's better to tell the truth, confess and ask them directly.
Zhang Ziwen frowned, glanced at Shi Tou who was lowering his head and saying nothing, then picked up the books one by one and flipped through them. Some vague ideas kept coming to his mind.
"My uncle is really willing to spend money. He must have spent quite a bit of money."
"Well, the postage alone is quite a lot."
"Next time you send a book, let him write the title directly in the letter. We can also look for it ourselves. If the bookstore doesn't have it, we can always look for it in the provincial capital's scrap yard."
"Tsk... I'm not sure you can find all these books. Do you think I'm stupid? Do you know when this set of books was published?"
Of course I know that!
This series of books was criticized when it was first published in the 1960s. The reason was that "if you learn math, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world" and it was a product of the revisionist line.
Later, people thought that this set of books went against the direction of going to the countryside and mountains, and they had to be completely destroyed. Eventually, they became waste in a waste recycling station.
It’s only been the past two years. Before that, even the post office wouldn’t allow me to send these books.
"Shi Tou, have you heard anything from your second uncle?"
Zhang Minglei (Shitou) looked at Zhang Ziwen and said with a smile, "If my dad knew something, he would have shown it to you guys a long time ago."
"Do you believe that your second uncle would beat you up if he heard you outside?"
"I think this guy should study hard and memorize the Classic of Filial Piety."
"Yes, Little Stone, did you say something to Ping'an and the others in the letter? Did you accidentally reveal your true identity and implicate us? Tell the truth now."
Zhang Minglei rolled his eyes at the brothers who were stirring up trouble. "Little Stone, I'm going to get married soon, can you change?"
If his sisters weren't around, he would definitely pull these guys together to compare and see who is smaller.
"What, you're not convinced, huh? I knew you were the most cunning one. Tell us if you found anything. I'm telling you, if your uncle comes back, I'll tell him you've finished reading the book."
Zhang Minglei pointed at Zhang Ziwen in astonishment...
This shameless cousin!
You know what, this guy is really capable of such a thing! Didn't you see him acting like a decent person in public all day long? Everyone says he is worthy of being a leader, but what about him in private?
This guy is the most insidious. Xiao Cong is so scared that he always says that he is not afraid of anything except his elder brother.
"Did you think of something?"
Facing the smiling Zhang Ziwen, Zhang Minglei rolled his eyes and said, "I don't believe you didn't think of it! We agreed that if I tell you this, you can't laugh at me!"
Zhang Ziwen looked at him thoughtfully and nodded slightly.
"Looking at what my uncle is doing, it seems like he's going to reinstate the college entrance examination."
As soon as these words came out...
For example, Zhang Ziwen suddenly grinned and showed a bright smile;
Xizi, with a frown on his face, looked at Zhang Minglei thoughtfully;
Zhang Mingzuo and Zhang Mingyou are twins, both with their mouths wide open...
For example, Zhang Ziwu and Zhang Zicong immediately looked at their eldest brother Zhang Ziwen, observing his smile with suspicion, waiting for him to agree and confirm;
For example, Mai Sui and Liu Zhu (Zhang Meihao’s eldest son) looked at Zhang Minglei like he was crazy, and almost wanted to touch his forehead to see if he had a fever?
Shitou touched his nose, avoided everyone's gaze, looked at the book, and explained, "I'm just guessing. But who is my uncle? He doesn't do things without a purpose.
If we really want to study by reading books, we should read more newspapers and work-related magazines instead of doing exercises.
His words quickly sobered the brothers and sisters. They looked at each other and nodded.
Zhang Ziwen looked at Xizi.
Even if the college entrance examination is really resumed, Xizi is already a college student, and I, who have a technical secondary school diploma, have also continued my studies. The two of them can protect their family without having to participate...
Xizi nodded at him and said, "No matter if it's true or not, don't let any of it out to anyone, not even your own lovers.
When they have time, I'll take the opportunity to let them learn from me and find their own excuses. But until my uncle says a word, everyone should keep it a secret."
Xizi didn't need to remind them of this; everyone knew it. Whether or not the college entrance exam would be reinstated? If they uttered even a single word about it, it would be a major or minor event!
