Chapter 100: I'm Your Second Brother
Zhou Xiao understood that his fiancée would not say this in front of him unless she was sure of the truth of the matter.
Since he was not a member of the Zhou family, how could Zhou Xiao not have thought about it? The difference between how Zhang Guixiang treated him and Zhou Tinghuai over the years was obvious.
When he was young, Zhou Xiao even remembered that Zhang Guixiang looked at him with resentment and once almost threw him to the side of the road.
But after walking a few steps, he saw a dog approaching him. Zhang Guixiang quickly ran back, chased the dog away, and carried him back to Zhou's house.
Zhou Xiao also heard Zhang Guixiang talking to Old Man Zhou about women outside, and he doubted his identity.
Even though there was no definite evidence, Zhang Guixiang's attitude and various behaviors made Zhou Xiao know that he was not Zhang Guixiang's biological son.
So over the years, he never blamed his mother. When the family did not have enough money to support two people in school, he gave up the opportunity to go to college without saying a word.
No matter who he is, Zhang Guixiang has raised him for so many years in vain. She has been partial to him but has never done anything really bad to him. This kindness should be repaid.
Seeing Zhou Xiao's gloomy expression, Jiang Yu leaned into his arms and put her arms around his waist.
"So do you want to find your biological parents? If so, I can help you."
She has money, and if she puts in more effort, she will always be able to find clues. Even if she can't find any, there is still the system.
Zhou Xiao rested his chin on the top of his fiancée's head, and his voice was a little deep.
"No, they never showed up, so there's no need to look for them."
In the world a few days ago, for various reasons, many people lost contact with their families and never saw them again in their entire lives.
But now that the situation has stabilized, the state has registered some files to make it easier for everyone to find their relatives.
As long as you are willing, go to the Public Security Bureau and you will find that there is no one you really can't find, unless you just don't want to find them.
"Well, I won't go looking for him. I'm here for you, Second Brother." Jiang Yu raised her head and kissed the man's lips.
The aura around Zhou Xiao suddenly became gentle, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly as if he was a treasure.
The days after the New Year passed so quickly that Jiang Yu felt like it had only been a short while. They had changed from down jackets to light thin clothes, and registration for the college entrance examination had begun.
Chen Zhi and Zhou Xiao reviewed thoroughly, passed the pre-exam perfectly, and took the formal college entrance exam.
Both of them were studying science and had to take three days to take the exam. Aunt Miao was particularly concerned about their meals during those three days. After dinner every day, Jiang Yu and Zhou Tinghuai would take them to the examination room.
Both of them were confident and calm people, and their emotions affected Jiang Yu and the others, so the atmosphere in the small villa was not too tense.
But on the day after the exam, Aunt Miao felt relieved and prepared a big meal to reward the two scholars.
When the results came out, Jiang Yu knew that her bestie and Zhou Xiao had put their minds to it and would definitely do well.
But I was surprised to learn that both of them scored over 690, with Zhou Xiao scoring 1 point higher than Chen Zhi, making him the top scorer in Luzhou this year.
Especially since Shen Zhi's grades were so high, Jiang Yu and Shen Zhi were both very excited.
Chen Zhi has a high IQ, but she is from later generations, so some of her knowledge is different, especially politics and language.
Different times and different thoughts naturally lead to different ways of answering questions. You can't answer with the logic of later generations. You need to cater to the times, otherwise you will be noticed every minute.
As soon as the results came out, the two of them received calls within a day because of their scores. There were calls from the university admissions office and the newspaper. The small villa hosted many guests.
Whether it was Chen Zhi or Zhou Xiao, they had already chosen schools to apply to and were not affected by these things at all.
I applied for the admission application step by step and am waiting to receive the admission letter.
The two of them remained calm from beginning to end, and did not ask the postman often. They just went about their business as usual. When the notice arrived, it was not until Aunt Zhang excitedly called them that the two of them knew about it.
Chen Zhi applied to Kyoto University where Professor Lin was studying, and Zhou Xiao applied to Tsinghua University, and both received admission letters from the schools as they wished.
The two chose to apply to a university in Kyoto. Not only because the school was really good, but also because most of the properties Jiang Yu bought were in Kyoto.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will settle down there. They don't want Jiang Yu to run around, so going to Kyoto to study is the best option.
As soon as the notice arrived, Zhang Guixiang happily asked them to go back and burn incense to their ancestors.
The eldest son was admitted to Tsinghua University and was the top scorer, and the younger daughter-in-law was admitted to Peking University and was the second place. In this family, there are two college students.
It's like smoke is coming out of my ancestral grave again after the one of Jiang Yu, the Goddess of Wealth. I have to go back and burn some incense.
Jiang Yu went back to Xiaohe Village with the two men, burned incense at the ancestral grave, and held a top-ranking wine banquet at home, which lasted for a week.
We don't want any gifts from the villagers, just come and have a drink to celebrate.
Life in Xiaohe Village is much better now. The Zhou family doesn't accept gifts, so people don't feel comfortable coming empty-handed and always bring something with them.
Then he brought the child over and asked Zhou Xiao and Shen Zhi to pat his head, hoping that the child would have the good fortune of being a college student and that his family would have a promising college student in the future.
For this kind of banquet where no gift money is required, families that know a little bit of etiquette will only invite one or two people, and not the whole family.
After all, every family had several children at that time, and it was not popular to split up the family. A family had at least a dozen or twenty people in total. If all of them came, there would have to be at least two tables.
If everyone in the village were to eat like this, who would be able to tolerate such a way of eating?
But there are many people in the village, so there is always a shameless family coming over.
It has been a long time since the people from both branches of the Shen family and the Li family had a good meal of meat.
A few days ago, I heard that Zhou Xiao and Shen Zhi did very well in the exam and were sure to go to college. I thought Zhang Guixiang and Old Man Zhou were bragging, and I was disdainful and didn't believe them at all.
Later, the two were interviewed by a newspaper and appeared in the newspaper. Zhou Tinghuai specially sent back a few newspapers. Now everyone in Xiaohe Village knew that Chen Zhi and Zhou Xiao were very promising and ranked top two in the province in the college entrance examination.
The two families had such complicated feelings. Although Shen Zhi was the child of the second branch of the Shen family, her father and mother had not allowed her to go to school or take the college entrance examination.
When outsiders asked why Shen Zhi didn't take the college entrance examination, in order to prevent others from gossiping behind his back, Shen's father and others deliberately said that Shen Zhi was stupid and knew he couldn't get into university, so he gave up voluntarily.
Now that the stupid guy has ranked second in the province, all the villagers have come to their senses. They congratulated them meaningfully for raising a college student, but shook their heads privately.
He was muttering about how he might not be able to benefit from the college-educated daughter of the second wife of the Shen family.
In addition to the two branches of the Shen family regretting not treating Shen Zhi well, Shen Hui and Li Changjun, who quietly went to register for the college entrance examination, saw that their scores were not enough to get into a junior college.
I quietly tore up the transcript and destroyed all evidence, pretending that nothing had happened.
The two people who tried to turn their lives around by taking the college entrance examination found out that Chen Zhi and Zhou Xiao, whom they once looked down upon, not only got into university, but also went to top schools in Kyoto. They felt so happy.
