In this era, the main way to check college entrance examination results is through landline phones.
Chen Fan's family doesn't have a telephone.
After lunch, Chen Fan and his family went to their second aunt's house in the town early.
In order to know their son's college entrance examination results as soon as possible, Chen Jianye and his wife took half a day off.
As a result, when I started making calls at one o'clock, the caller kept saying that the service was temporarily unavailable.
Second Aunt was chatting with Chen Fan's father and daughter.
Li Jinqiu's face was full of tension, and he made a phone call every minute.
Seeing Li Jinqiu's nervous look, Chen Fan's second aunt Chen Meiyun couldn't help but smile and comfort him.
"Sister-in-law, don't stay on the phone all the time."
"Your grades have already been determined. It won't help if you get nervous now."
Li Jinqiu felt a little embarrassed.
"I don't know why, but my heart is beating a little faster today."
“That’s what all parents do.”
Chen Meiyu glanced at her elder brother beside her.
"Look at my eldest brother. He's not nervous at all."
"Didn't they say Xiaofan's estimated score this time is 575? Just relax."
This time it was the eldest brother Chen Jianye's turn to speak.
"Xiao Fan is always in the middle of the class in exams."
"If you do well in the exam, you can get into a second-tier university. If you don't do well, you can't even get into a second-tier university."
"This time, the estimated score is 575. To be honest, I always feel a little unsure."
Li Jinqiu also nodded.
"That's the reason. You have to confirm the score to feel completely at ease."
"You can't say that about my nephew."
Chen Meiyu held Chen Fan's hand with a loving look on her face.
"I've always thought Xiaofan is smart, much smarter than that jerk in my family."
After saying this, he did not forget to cheer up Chen Fan.
"I believe you."
"Your cousin is not good at studying. He couldn't even get into college and can only go to junior college."
"Xiao Fan, try your best to get into a prestigious university and bring honor to your parents and our Chen family."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Second Aunt, I'm hungry."
Chen Meiyun glared at him and said, "Kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll get you some snacks."
Li Jinqiu glanced at his son who was sitting on the sofa watching TV leisurely.
Still feeling a little worried, I picked up the phone and continued to call the inquiry hotline.
The torment lasted until six in the evening.
After Li Jinqiu called countless times, the inquiry hotline was finally connected.
Suddenly, Chen Jianye, who had been eating in the living room, was the first to get up and run in.
The second aunt and her husband also hurried over.
Chen Fan put down his chopsticks and was the last one to go into the inner room.
"The candidate's name."
"Chen Fan."
"Admission ticket number."
Li Jinqiu was stunned and immediately looked around.
"Where's your admission ticket? I just put it here..."
Chen Jianye suddenly glared.
"Look at you, you can't even handle such a small matter, why don't you hurry up and find..."
The old couple immediately began to look around in panic.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, think about where you put it when you took it before."
Second aunt Chen Meiyun whispered a reminder.
Li Jinqiu murmured, "I put it on the table before, then I looked at the child's admission ticket number, and then I put it away..."
Li Jinqiu reached into his pocket and his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Found it."
"The admission ticket number is: xxxxxxxxxxxx..."
After he finished reading it, the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the movement on the other end of the phone.
Finally, the sound was heard.
"Candidate Chen Fan, Chinese: 136, Mathematics: 113, English: 137, Comprehensive: 217, Total score: 603."
As soon as the score came out, the whole room fell silent.
Everyone was stunned, obviously shocked.
Chen Jianye turned his head with a somewhat stiff neck and looked at Chen Meiyu and her husband standing beside him.
"Just now...what score did he say just now?"
Chen Meiyun shouted excitedly: "The total score is 603 points. Brother, Xiaofan scored 603 points."
Chen Jianye was somewhat incredulous and looked at his son standing at the door.
"No... didn't you say 575 points?"
Chen Fan also had some ideas.
He was a little conservative when estimating the scores, and tried to deduct as many points as possible from some subjective questions that did not have standard answers.
Now it seems that I answered it well.
I saw everyone in the room looking at me.
Chen Fan scratched his head.
"Maybe I was a little conservative when I estimated the score."
"This……"
Uncle Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This is almost ten times more conservative."
Chen Jianye suddenly reacted at this moment.
He rushed over and snatched the phone from his wife's hand.
"I'll call again."
He had to hear the score on the other end of the phone in person to feel at ease.
Enter your admission ticket number as prompted.
Soon, Chen Fan's college entrance examination results came over the phone.
"Total score: 603."
Sure enough, it’s still 603.
"603,603..."
Chen Jianye murmured excitedly: "I didn't hear it wrong. I didn't hear it wrong."
"It's really 603 points."
"Please press 1 to repeat the listening..."
Chen Jianye pressed 1 without hesitation.
I listened to it over and over again, and it was all 603.
This is not wrong.
"Haha, 603 points. My son got 603 points."
“It’s really great.”
Chen Jianye, who is usually calm and taciturn, lost his composure for the first time.
He rubbed his lips excitedly, and his dark face turned red.
His wife Li Jinqiu sat beside him, quietly wiping away tears.
"Thank God, the Chen family finally has a college student."
Chen Jianye walked over excitedly, raised his head and patted his son's shoulder hard.
Chen Fan grimaced in pain.
"Dad, you want to kill me."
"Haha, Dad is happy today. Too happy in fact."
The second aunt beside him also laughed and said, "Brother, you must treat us this time."
"Xiao Fan's score is far above the first-tier line."
"I don't think it would be a problem for me to get into any of those famous universities."
Hearing this, Chen Jianye suddenly looked at his son.
Then there was some regret.
"But the volunteers have already signed up."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Dad, even if I can change my major, I will still choose Yunhai University."
"땤And Unkai University is really good."
Chen Jianye smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say."
“Brother…”
Chen Meiyu on the side couldn't help but remind her.
"Ah? What did you say?"
Chen Jianye was obviously so excited that he almost lost control of his computer.
"I said, shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"
"Yes, yes, it's time to celebrate."
Chen Jianye rubbed his lips excitedly and glanced at his wife.
"Well, I'll hold a banquet in two days and invite all our relatives and friends to come and have a good time."
Chen Meiyun smiled and reminded: "You are talking about the graduation banquet, I am talking about tonight, it is rare for everyone to be so happy."
"Besides, such a big happy event, shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"
"How about notifying Jianzhong and Jianlong and asking them to come to my house for a drink?"
"Yes, yes..."
Chen Jianye slapped his head.
"Look at my brain. How could I forget this?"
"I'll notify them now..."
