The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen drove Huijuan to the door of "Huijuan Local Vegetable Restaurant" in his car. As soon as the car stopped, Huijuan opened the car door and ran out and into the store.

It was the time when there were fewest customers in the store. Through the glass, Zhang Chen saw Huijuan and Ah Qiao hugging another waiter. Her parents also walked out of the kitchen at the back.

Huijuan chatted animatedly with her parents. Huijuan's father saw Zhang Chen's car outside and asked Huijuan, "Have you had lunch?"

Huijuan said she ate it, she ate it on the plane.

"What about Boss Zhang? Didn't he eat when he picked you up?" Huijuan's father asked.

Huijuan exclaimed "Ah" and then remembered that Zhang Chen was still outside.

Huijuan hurriedly ran outside and told Zhang Chen to come down and eat. Zhang Chen smiled and said, I have already eaten. Do I want to send you back to your room first and come back after putting away your things?

"No, no need." Huijuan said, "Those condiments were originally meant to be placed here."

Zhang Chen got out of the car, opened the trunk, and prepared to help Huijuan carry her luggage. Huijuan's parents and Ah Qiao had already come out of the store, and they helped carry it in.

Zhang Chen said goodbye to them and drove back to the city instead of going to the factory. On the way back from the airport, Zhao Xin called Zhang Chen and said he had something to tell him.

Just after Zhang Chen passed the East Bus Station, the phone rang again. It was Zhao Xin again. Zhao Xin asked Zhang Chen where he was. Zhang Chen said that at the East Bus Station, I came directly to the oil painting gallery.

"No, no, I'd better come over. Is Sister Xiao Zhao here?" Zhao Xin asked.

Zhang Chen said yes, and then he immediately understood what Zhao Xin wanted to do with him. He said, "Zhao Xin, is it Xiaoshu..."

Zhao Xin chuckled and hung up the phone. Zhang Chen shook his head.

After the Spring Festival, at the end of February, Xiaoshu went to take the professional course examination of Gome. More than a month later, it should be time for the professional course results to come out. Although Zhao Xin had already inquired and told Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao that there was no problem. , has passed, but it is not an official announcement after all, which makes people feel that there is always a sense of uncertainty in their hearts.

Zhang Chen arrived upstairs at the dynamic zone. Before he entered his office, he called next door: "Xiao Zhao."

Zhang Chen opened the door and entered the office, and Xiao Zhao followed. Zhang Chen said to her, "Zhao Xin is on the way here. Xiao Shu's results should have come out."

"real?"

"Yes." Zhang Chen said. Xiao Zhao hugged Zhang Chen from behind, picked her up, shook her left and right twice, and put her down again. She was already out of breath. Zhang Chen laughed and asked:

"What are you so excited about?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, why am I so excited? My dear, it seems that Xiaofang was admitted to Zhejiang University, but I am not so excited."

"I know the reason." Zhang Chen said.

"You know? I don't even know I'm excited. Do you know?" Xiao Zhao asked doubtfully.

Zhang Chen nodded: "I know."

"Speak quickly, speak quickly, my dear, speak quickly." Xiao Zhao urged.

Zhang Chen said: "Because Xiaofang never needs you to worry, not Xiaoshu."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly.

"Also, if Xiaoshu is admitted to the National Academy of Sciences, do you think that you, as a sister, will have fulfilled your responsibilities?"

Zhang Chen asked, Xiao Zhao stared at Zhang Chen, pursed her lips, she said okay, you guessed it all, I didn't even know it just now, but when you said it, it was true.

"However, this is still the first step." Zhang Chen reminded, "For Xiaoshu, cultural classes are the key."

"This idiot." Xiao Zhao cursed in Chongqing dialect, then changed it to Mandarin: "I can't get a score of 280, so I, I just..."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhao raised his hand in the air and slapped him one after another. Zhang Chen laughed and said:

"I don't ask him to get a score of 280. If he can get a score of 250 or above, there is still something he can do. If he can't even get a score of 250, it will be very difficult. It's okay. There are still more than two months. Let's encourage him more." .”

"Okay, dear, I'll ask Xiaofang to keep an eye on her too."

Zhang Chen remembered and said to Xiao Zhao: "I just went to the airport to pick up Huijuan. Huijuan invited all of us to go to her place tomorrow and try her new dishes. I called Lin Shuwan and asked her to come for dinner. , I will also ask Xiaoshu how his English study is going tomorrow."

Xiao Zhao agreed, and Zhang Chen called Lin Shuwan and asked her and Old Tang to go to Huijuan Local Food Restaurant for dinner tomorrow night. Lin Shuwan laughed and said, "Brother, you remembered me this time."

"Yes, I also want to ask you, how is Xiaoshu learning English?"

"Very good, brother, don't worry, I have a hundred ways to deal with him." Lin Shuwan said, and both Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao laughed.

Just as she was talking, Zhao Xin came in from the outside. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao both looked at her. Zhao Xin asked, "Do you all know what I am here for?"

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao nodded. Zhao Xin continued to ask: "Do you want to sit and listen or stand and listen."

"Oh, the result is already known. There is no suspense anymore. Don't be too pretentious and speak quickly." Zhang Chen said.

Zhao Xin smiled and said: "Okay, the test results are out, Xiaoshu passed."

"Ranking, ranking." Zhang Chen said.

"Not as powerful as the boss, but he is third." Zhao Xin said.

"Awesome!" Xiao Zhao shouted. After shouting, he looked at Zhang Chen and said to him, "Okay, I know your height is something no one else can reach."

"It's different, I think the base is different." Zhao Xin said, "This year, more than 6,000 people registered for the exam in Gome. Boss, you didn't have so many people at that time, right? It's amazing to get third among more than 6,000 candidates. .”

"That's right." Xiao Zhao looked at Zhang Chen with a smile and nodded repeatedly. Zhang Chen pointed at Zhao Xin and cursed: "How come you don't even know how to flatter the boss?"

Xiao Zhao and Zhao Xin laughed, and Zhao Xin said: "I know how to flatter the boss lady. The boss lady is happy. Boss, what else can you do?"

Zhang Chen also laughed and said: "There is no other way. The boss can only get angry and ask for a treat. The teacher appreciation banquet in the evening is also a cheering banquet. Yao Fen, Awan, and Xiaofang will be invited to dinner."

Xiao Zhao nodded and said yes, and Zhao Xin said, "Am I one of them?"

"You don't count. You are just a postman delivering letters at most. However, the postman also has a reward, and he will reward you for eating with him."

Zhao Xin said okay, as long as he has food to eat, it doesn’t matter what he does.

The three of them were chatting and laughing when Xiaoshu came in. Xiaozhao quickly told Xiaoshu the news. Xiaoshu had no expression on his face, as if he was not surprised at all. At the end, he clicked his tongue: "You're only third."

Zhao Xin and Xiao Zhao looked stunned, Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I have the guts!"

…

The dinner in the evening was placed in the large box in Tianxiang Building. Zhang Chen's parents and Xiang Nanxiangbei all came. Wang Minsheng also specially made a big cake, with the entrance door of Gome on the cake. During the meal, Yao Fen was the most excited. She looked at Xiaoshu with red eyes. Others didn't quite understand, but Zhang Chen knew it.

Yao Fen herself failed to pass the school entrance exam. Now her student has been admitted to GOME and got third place in the exam. How can she be unhappy?

In addition, she has experienced so many things during this period of time. Xiaoshu's good test scores may be one of the few comforts to her.

It is very hard for art candidates to rush for the exam. When the exam season comes, they have to squeeze into trains and rush from one city to another in Hangzhou, Beijing, Shenyang, Chongqing, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Changsha, Nanjing... To increase your chances of getting online, you can only try your best to catch up with the exams of various schools. The more exams you take, the greater your chances.

They have no money and no connections. It is impossible to buy sleeper tickets. They are lucky to have a seat without standing on the train for more than ten hours. When they arrive at a place, in order to save money, they can only find the cheapest hotel to stay. .

Not only are they tight on money, but they are also tight on time. Almost all of them have exams at this school in the afternoon and have to rush to the next city in the evening.

Whether he can come to this city again can only be left to fate.

When I meet a companion who studies painting, we go to a certain school together. It’s better to have a companion. If not, we can only walk alone for thousands of miles.

That whole month was almost spent on such a long journey, tired, confused and restless.

And the vast majority of people, after experiencing all this, did not wait for the results they expected. Some people can only wipe away their tears after crying one night after another, and silently start preparing for the long journey next year. Prepare.

There are also people who can only give up because they really can't stand the suffering, or their family simply doesn't have the financial ability to let them try for another year, and instead join the ranks of drifting to the north, sea, or south. , or simply join the ranks of migrant workers, going to construction sites to move bricks, and to factories to install instruments and various other things.

It's almost rare to find people like Xiaoshu who can always succeed by staying in one place and only applying to one school.

Next, he will have to wait until June to return to Chongqing to take the college entrance examination and get 280 points, or in Zhang Chen's words, as long as 250 points and the total score of the college entrance examination are still available.

After finishing the meal, Liu Ligan also joined Teacher Xiaoshu. Liu Ligan said to Xiaoshu:

"Composition is the big part in the Chinese language test. I'm going to study the composition topics in recent years and write you a few plausible compositions. Xiaoshu, if you memorize them, you can take a look at which one is a bit close and you can use it. That's it. You may not get a very high score for your essay, but the score will be very low, and the marking teacher himself will feel embarrassed, and will give you a score of 70 to 80 percent."

Zhang Chen smiled on the side and said, "Is this how you took the exam when you were admitted to Zhejiang University?"

Tan Shuzhen laughed and said, "It's true. A person who has never even entered a university is now teaching others how to get into university."

Liu Ligan said disdainfully: "What do you know? I have never passed the college entrance examination, but I know how to write articles. Articles in this world are just bullshit. As long as you can talk nonsense and make some sense, this article will be enough. College entrance examination composition, and so on Argumentative essays are the main ones. What is an argumentative essay is to talk about principles and principles. What is a rationale is that everyone has his own words. As long as you can justify yourself, it is a rationale."

Xiao Zhao was worried, so she asked Xiao Fang: "Is this method that your brother Zangzi said useful?"

Xiaofang thought for a moment, nodded seriously and said, "It seems useful. It's better than writing nothing at all. It's full of words, relevant, clear and coherent, and the sentences are fluent. Indeed, I should have a score of seventy or eighty." .”

"Did you see that my junior sister said something? Do you still believe it?" Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen and said proudly: "How can you ordinary people keep up with the thinking of us from Zhejiang University?"

"Come on, Xiaofang, we from Zhejiang University come here." Liu Ligan said and stretched out his palm towards Xiaofang. Xiaofang smiled and high-fived him, and Tan Shuzhen scolded:

"You, from Zhejiang University, are so shameless that we really can't keep up."
