A military vehicle slowly slowed down and stopped not far from the gate of Zhou's courtyard. Zhang Guoqing got out of the car with a briefcase and waved to the guard Xiao Zhu to drive away.
Xiao Zhu and Xiao Wei were the guards forcibly assigned to him by the higher-ups. He finally understood his father-in-law's initial impatience.
At a certain point, as your identity changes, your freedom really becomes less and less!
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning.
So I slammed the table in anger at today's meeting.
He would definitely understand what his action represented.
But if he also joins in the depravity and turns a blind eye...
Then what’s the point of putting yourself in a high position again?
Zhang Guoqing considered himself a common man. He loved money and power, but he would never, like some people, abuse his power to seize state property.
Now that he has power, shouldn't he repay his country with due diligence? The funny thing is, some people dare to take advantage of him right under his nose.
Do you really think he doesn't dare to chop it off?
Zhang Guoqing didn't want to bring his work troubles into his family, especially when the whole family was waiting for him, a latecomer, to have dinner together in the warm living room.
"Why don't you eat first?"
Zhou Xiaozheng signaled Aunt Chen to start the meal. Looking at his son-in-law who was laughing heartlessly, he sighed secretly, "We all had snacks beforehand. Hurry and wash your hands and eat."
"Dad, you're up so early today?"
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him meaningfully. "After clearing away some of the obstructing stones, we'll have more time."
Zhang Guoqing smiled at him.
Since even his father-in-law supports him, he will be even more ruthless!
After dinner, the family moved to the living room.
Wuyi immediately went to sit next to Zhang Guoqing and asked, "Dad, are you feeling better now?"
Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm happy to see you."
"Haha... That's good, that's good." Wuyi immediately took out a telegram from his trouser pocket and handed it to him. "Ding ding ding... Great news from my hometown."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at his son and opened the telegram to take a look.
——Shi Wenwu is smart and honest in the river.
"Dad, my second uncle called. He said he's verified that no other names were missed on the list, and that there were no irregularities or cheating in the local college entrance examination."
Zhang Guoqing slapped his forehead, muttering in frustration, "What a shame!" Then he asked, "Who back home asked him to help check the scores?"
"Brother Xizi."
Zhang Guoqing's face suddenly darkened, "He's quite capable!"
Wuyi looked at him, paused, and continued, "Dad, I said something a little too much today. I told my second uncle clearly on the phone that no matter who comes forward in the future, he doesn't have to do things for my dad's sake. You won't blame me, right?"
"Why should I blame you?" Zhang Guoqing said and glanced at Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao, the father and daughter - the father and daughter were pretending to be stupid and concentrating on playing chess, which made him roll his eyes speechlessly.
Is it that so?
"Dad, will you be disappointed? But I have something good to tell you first. Although the results haven't been announced, my second uncle checked and found out that Brother Shitou is first in the county and tenth in the province."
Zhang Guoqing: "Ha, ha."
"What do you mean?" Wuyi tilted his head and looked at him. "This result is already excellent! Not everyone can be compared with the three of us brothers."
Liu Yi tugged at his clothes, unable to bear the sight. "Dad, what you're saying is that if someone ranked tenth in the province can come out, how come there are still others who don't get in under the same conditions?"
Wuyi looked at him in surprise, "Is it strange? It's because he lacks intelligence!"
The black piece Zhou Xiaozheng was holding suddenly "accidentally" moved one square. He suppressed his smile and looked at his daughter opposite him, chuckling softly.
Miao Lishan praised in agreement, "That's true! Our kids easily took first place, and every one of them got full marks. There's really no comparison!"
Ping An covered his face with his hands when he heard this, "Grandma, don't call me baby anymore."
"Okay, save it for later when you call your kids."
No matter how depressed Zhang Guoqing was, it all disappeared in an instant when he was amused by his mother-in-law.
Although the remaining nephews and nieces did not show up, which made him somewhat disappointed, but he had already given them the chance, so who could he blame for not seizing it?
"Is it because each place is different and the test levels are different?" Miao Lishan was quite surprised. "The Cheng and Wen families all passed the test this time."
"Grandma, that's because my mom caught them and gave them intensive tutoring. Otherwise, they would have been in danger. Also, their elders have higher education and a different foundation."
"I understand what you mean, just like you are just as smart as your parents!"
After Miao Lishan finished praising him, she looked at her son-in-law and said, "Xiaowu, why don't you ask them to come here and let Jiaojiao tutor them so they can take the exam again next year."
Zhou Jiao looked at her father with resentment, which made Zhou Xiaozheng laugh. His girl was so funny! He was not worried at all that his son-in-law would accept his wife's bad idea.
really……
Zhang Guoqing immediately blurted out, "Jiaojiao can't take it, she's too tired!"
Miao Lishan looked suspiciously at Zhou Jiao, who was not far away. Was her daughter so weak? If she wasn't dreaming, who had kicked the thief away when they were shopping last weekend?
Seeing this, Liuyi chuckled and said, "Grandma, this isn't a question of whether or not I need my mom's tutoring. It's not like my dad hasn't sent me some information before."
Zhang Guoqing was also worried that his mother-in-law might suddenly decide to send a telegram back home. If she did come, it wouldn't just be about her nephew, but also about her family, possibly even a baby.
"Mom, you might not know this yet. I gave them three chances. If they grasp all of them and truly follow my instructions, I can't say for sure whether they'll rank at the top, but they'll definitely be able to make it online."
First, Zhang Guoqing hinted that the Gaokao would be resumed in a few months. If one truly accepted his uncle, then he would have more time to prepare than the average person.
The second time, he sent two sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", which could be bought at a price of 100 yuan per set on the black market and were not necessarily available.
If they really work hard, not to mention other things, with so much time and the current level of the test papers, they will definitely have no problem getting into a junior college.
The third time, he personally copied a complete set of questions listed by his wife and sent it back personally through the fast track within a month before the exam.
If they really took it seriously, as long as they finished those questions, they would not be able to get first place in the county like Shitou, but they would at least be tenth, right?
Miao Lishan shook her head speechlessly. "Let it go. We've given them several chances, but they didn't take it seriously. It's no use coming here."
That's not the case!
They didn't cherish the opportunity they were given, or maybe everyone's attitude can reflect many problems. As an uncle, why should he bother?
"We all live not far from each other, so why is there such a big difference?"
It is really difficult for Zhang Guoqing to answer this question.
——Who knows.
He had originally predicted that all of them would be able to pass the test, but the difference was between a junior college and a bachelor's degree. Who could have predicted this result?
