Chapter 563: Daughter Reborn (18)
Cui Shichu sent Zhou Zhiyuan to the examination room and then went home. Today was the day of his college entrance examination. More than ten years of hard work were just for these two days, so even if Zhou Zhiyuan was mature beyond his years, he couldn't avoid being nervous. Cui Shichu accompanied him and did some psychological counseling for him.
After returning home, she quickly started to make chicken soup, preparing to make something delicious for Zhou Zhiyuan.
Because they decided to go directly to Beijing after Zhou Zhiyuan finished the college entrance examination, they packed up all the things in the house and planned to put it up for sale through an agency.
Zhou Zhiyuan also knew about this. Although he was reluctant to leave the old house where he had lived since childhood, he was worried that his family would be financially tight after buying a house in Beijing, so he agreed to sell the house.
Two days passed quickly. Cui Shichu did not directly ask him how he did in the exam, but from his good mood after the test, it can be seen that he must be quite satisfied with the result. Perhaps it was because he was free from mental pressure after the test. He smiled every day, and the neighbors around him could not help teasing him and asking him if he was going to get the top spot.
Zhou Zhiyuan was teased so much that he didn't dare to go out, so Cui Shichu asked him to pack up the luggage at home and prepare to send it to the capital. There was no express delivery in those days, only the most ordinary postal service, which was slow and expensive, and many things could not be mailed, so Cui Shichu sent some essential luggage, and then threw away some unnecessary things, and did not plan to take them to the new home.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at the discarded wooden sofa and said reluctantly: "This wooden sofa is still intact. Wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away? We can still use it after transporting it to Beijing."
Cui Shichu glanced at the wooden sofa that had been worn out to the point where its original color could no longer be seen, and said disdainfully, "This sofa is heavy and worn out. The shipping fee for shipping it to the capital is enough for us to buy a beautiful and sturdy fabric sofa. It's not worth it. What should be thrown away should be thrown away."
When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, he felt that his mother was right, so he had to obediently move the old sofa to the trash can downstairs and throw it away.
"Zhiyuan, don't you want this sofa anymore? It's not broken, why did you throw it away?" Aunt Wang, a neighbor who was passing by, saw his actions and immediately came forward to ask curiously.
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded at her: "Aunt Wang, this sofa is very old. We don't want it anymore. We will buy a new one when we get to Beijing."
"Why are you going to the capital?" Aunt Wang was very surprised when she heard this.
"I will apply to a university in Beijing, and my mother will move to Beijing with me." Zhou Zhiyuan said shyly.
"You have decided to apply to a university in Beijing?" Aunt Wang suddenly realized, "Then you must have done well in the exam, right? I heard that it is very difficult to get into a university in Beijing."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded with some pride: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a university in Beijing that will admit me." If he dared to say that, he must have done very well in the college entrance examination. After all, the college admission rate is not high these days.
Aunt Wang really looked at him with new eyes: "I told you that you are a smart kid and you will definitely be admitted to university. Your mother will be blessed in the future!"
"By the way, you said your mother is going to Beijing too? That's incredible. Not many people here have been to Beijing. I didn't expect that your mother could live there thanks to you. We, the old neighbors, are so envious..." Aunt Wang said with envy.
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your elder brother Ming is also very capable. I heard that his business has spread to the south. If you want to go to the capital, tell elder brother Ming and he will definitely fulfill your wish."
"No way? Your elder brother Ming doesn't have the time to care about a mother like me. I don't know what he is busy with outside and he never comes home all day..." Although she said so, Aunt Wang couldn't hide her pride when talking about her son. It was obvious that she was very pleased with Zhou Zhiyuan's words and felt that if she also wanted to go to the capital, her son would fulfill her wish.
Zhou Zhiyuan chatted with her for a few words and then went back. However, Aunt Wang became very interested and started asking her daughter-in-law about things in the capital. Her words showed that she wanted to see the capital. Her daughter-in-law didn't know why she had such an idea and asked a few more questions. As a result, the news that Zhou Zhiyuan would apply to a university in the capital and Cui Shichu would go to the capital to settle down with her son was spread out.
At that time, the relationship between neighbors was very close and there were no secrets between families. So many people with different thoughts came to Cui Shichu's house, asking her why she suddenly wanted to go to the capital with her son, and then asked her indirectly what would happen to the house and furniture after she left... Some people came to watch the fun, while others wanted to take advantage of the situation.
There are even some people who want to make fun of Cui Shichu and Zhou Zhiyuan behind their backs. They think that Zhou Zhiyuan will never be able to get into a university in Beijing, but he has already announced it and is preparing to move to Beijing. If he fails in the end, wouldn't that be a big joke of wishful thinking?
Cui Shichu didn’t know what others were thinking. She just felt that these people coming to her house recently had caused her and her son a lot of annoyance, so she finally decided to quickly deal with things here and leave as soon as possible.
So when the neighbor knocked on the door again, Cui Shichu and Zhou Zhiyuan had already boarded a plane to Beijing.
The house in the capital is not big, but it is big enough for the mother and son to live in, and there is also a small yard where they can grow flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables.
Cui Shichu had his house renovated a few months ago, so when Zhou Zhiyuan saw his new home for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed for a long time.
Cui Shichu designed the decoration plan himself, and transformed the house into a completely different look. Before, the house was just an ordinary old house, but after the renovation, the outside of the house was paved with off-white tiles, the eaves and corridors were paved with flat stones to form a simple and elegant road, the house had marble floors, the walls were white, and the tables, chairs and sofas were either light green or grayish white... All the home furnishings matched the interior decoration perfectly, which was elegant, fresh, fashionable and elegant, and looked pleasing to the eye.
Of course it is pleasing to the eye. After all, it was designed by Cui Shichu with the aesthetic vision of decades later. Even the boss of the decoration company, after seeing the final product, sincerely asked Cui Shichu to sell the decoration plan to him and allow him to take some photos for publicity.
Considering the very attractive price he offered, Cui Shichu didn't mind his home decoration becoming a classic case of the decoration company.
"Mom, is this really our house? Did we come to the right place?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked in disbelief. Of course he hoped that his home was so beautiful, but he was worried that his family could not afford such a house.
"This is our house, you're not in the wrong place." Cui Shichu said with a smile as he looked at his adopted son whose face turned red with excitement.
