Chapter 4013 4015 [A Little Commemoration]

Time flies, and it is early July. After the final exams, the school officially started its summer vacation.

On the first day of summer vacation, Xiang Nan, Wang Di, Huang Shu and Feng Xuejiao got together at McDonald's.

"There's a parent-teacher meeting at school today. My mother has already gone. I don't know how my grades are going to be." Feng Xuejiao said worriedly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Huang Shu said with a smile, "You usually do well in your studies, so there will be no problem this time."

"I don't dare to think that. As long as it's not too bad, it's fine." Feng Xuejiao waved her hand and said, "Qin Li, you are still the best. You have been recommended to Dongda University. We won't be together in the second half of the school year."

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded. "In the second half of the year, I will report to Dongda. But it doesn't matter. I basically don't live on campus. I will go home at night, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. Then it will be easy for us to meet."

When Huang Shu heard this, she smiled and nodded.

"Qin Li, I really envy you for being able to get into university without having to take the college entrance examination." Feng Xuejiao added, "I wish I could be like you."

"You want to learn Olympiad mathematics in your senior year of high school, it's too late, you should review your lessons and try to do well in the college entrance examination next year." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Today is the first day of summer vacation, let's have some fun. Starting tomorrow, I will continue to help Huang Shu with her homework, if you two like, you can come too."

"Qin Li, you're not idle during the summer vacation?" Feng Xuejiao asked in surprise.

"I'm not afraid of the top students being well-educated, I'm afraid of the top students having summer vacation." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "There is less than a year left before the college entrance examination. You need to review the knowledge of four subjects, an average of three months for each subject.

Summer vacation and winter vacation are three months in total. If you only play, it means that one of your subjects will be reset to zero, which is equivalent to losing 150 points. You originally had the chance to get into a 985 or 211, but suddenly you become a first or second tier student.

Think about it, you have been in school since you were six years old, and all your efforts have been for next year's exam. Are you willing to ruin eleven years of hard work for a three-month vacation? "

"Qin Li, you really should become a teacher. You are better at fooling people than Lao Fan." Feng Xuejiao rolled her eyes.

Fan Chengzhi often urged his classmates to study, which annoyed them so much that they nicknamed him "Old Fan". This was because Fan Chengzhi had worked as a prison guard, specializing in watching over prisoners in Dabei Prison.

"Children of poor families grow up early. I have indeed thought too much about this." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Of course, if you don't want to listen, then don't listen. I won't tell you these things in the future."

He knew that Feng Xuejiao came from a wealthy family. Her grandfather was a retired cadre at the section level, her father was the captain of the criminal police detachment of the Public Security Bureau, and her mother was now a businessman...

For her, studying is not the only way out, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't study hard. In the play, after graduating from college, she went abroad to study for a master's degree, and found a very good job after returning.

"No, I was just joking. Qin Li, you still have to urge me to continue studying." Feng Xuejiao waved her hand when she heard him say that.

Although she liked to complain a little, she also knew that Xiang Nan's tutoring had really helped her improve her grades. Her grades were in the middle before, around 20th.

After Xiang Nan's coaching, she is now firmly in the upper echelons, above the top 15. If she performs well, she may even be in the top 10. So why would she not want Xiang Nan to coach her?

"Then let's continue tomorrow." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Okay." Feng Xuejiao nodded. ...

The next day, Huang Shu, Wang Di, Feng Xuejiao and others all knew their final exam results.

Wang Di performed the best in the exam, ranking fourth in the class with a total score of over 650 points. With this score, he would have no problem getting 985.

Feng Xuejiao was second, ranking tenth in the class. She and her parents were quite satisfied. Huang Shu ranked twelfth in the class, which was an impressive result.

After all, when she first came to Yuying, she was the last in the class. Even the stupid Hu Kaizhi had better grades than her. But now she ranked twelfth in the class, firmly in the top class, which surprised Fan Chengzhi.

"Qin Li, my grandfather asked me to give it to you." Feng Xuejiao handed a Seagull watch to Xiang Nan and said, "He wanted to thank you for helping me and for saving his life."

If Xiang Nan hadn't reminded her to pay attention to Yang Shusen's health, his condition might have been delayed. Now he has undergone heart stent surgery and will have no problem living for another ten years.

"Your grandpa is too polite. I didn't do anything. You don't have to thank me so specially." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

"Yes, if you are giving someone a gift, you should give them something good. Who wears this kind of watch now? People all wear electronic watches or LCD watches." Wang Di pouted and said, "This watch is old and broken, and the chain is peeling. Who would want to wear it?"

"Wang Di, don't talk nonsense. This watch was bought by my grandfather when he first started working. He saved up for a long time and spent half a year's salary on it." Feng Xuejiao glared at him and said, "My grandfather likes this watch very much. He has been wearing it until now, and I am reluctant to give it to him."

"Is it that valuable? It's just a watch." Wang Di curled his lips.

"You don't understand. This watch was worth more than 100 yuan back then. And back then, people's monthly salary was only 20 to 30 yuan." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "So this watch was indeed very valuable back then. When marrying a wife back then, people paid attention to 'three turns and one ring', and one of the turns refers to the watch."

"What do the other two turns and one sound mean?" Huang Shu asked curiously.

"The other two are bicycles and sewing machines, and the one is a radio." Xiang Nan explained, "Back then, it was difficult for a young man to get married without a watch, so for her grandfather, this watch is indeed very commemorative.

Feng Xuejiao, please return the watch to the old man. I dare not accept such a meaningful gift. Let the old man keep it as a souvenir."

"No, my grandpa gave it to you specially, you can't refuse it." Feng Xuejiao insisted, "Why would you let me take it back?"

"Well... okay, thank the old man for me and tell him that I will take good care of this watch." Xiang Nan said after thinking for a while.

This old Seagull watch from the 1960s is actually not worth much.

Because domestic watches are different from foreign famous watches. Foreign brands like Omega, Rolex, Piaget, Longines, etc. are designed and manufactured as jewelry. They emphasize inheritance, art and taste. Therefore, the older the watch, the more valuable it is.

Domestic watches were only manufactured after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They were used as timers and their design concept was to be "practical". Therefore, domestic watches do not have the attributes of luxury goods like foreign watches.

Even an old watch from thirty or forty years ago is not worth much. It would be good if it can be sold for a few dozen yuan. It is more of a commemorative significance, so Xiang Nan is not going to take it away from someone else.

Because this watch is of commemorative value to Feng Xuejiao's grandfather, it is just an old watch to him. But she insisted on giving it to him, so Xiang Nan had no choice but to accept it, just as an encouragement from the old senior.
