On the day of the college entrance examination, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang, his parents, took a few days off to accompany Zhou Chen to take the college entrance examination.

Early in the morning, Han Huifang prepared breakfast. After breakfast, the family of three went to the examination room.

In addition to his parents, the class teacher Li Xiufang also came to give Zhou Chen pre-exam tutoring.

"Zhou Chen, don't be nervous during the exam. Treat it calmly. With your grades, as long as you perform normally, you can go to any university in China."

During his senior year in high school, Zhou Chen never let Li Xiufang down. He was always number one in the class and had taken numerous exams, so he was very experienced.

But no matter how experienced she is, it can't compare to the real college entrance examination. She is not afraid that Zhou Chen won't know how to do it, but she is afraid that Zhou Chen will be nervous and stressed.

"Yes, Xiaochen, Teacher Li is right. Don't be nervous. Your mother and I are waiting for you here."

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang were actually more nervous than Zhou Chen. Their son was a well-known literary talent. Although the couple believed in their son, they still couldn't help but feel nervous.

Seeing his parents and class teacher nervous, Zhou Chen comforted them: "Dad, Mom, Teacher Li, don't worry, I will do well in the exam."

He has seen all kinds of big scenes, so how could he be scared by the college entrance examination?

Zhou Chen completed the college entrance examination easily after a few days, and the next step was to wait for the results to come out.

Waiting is the most tiring thing, but that is for Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang. Zhou Chen, the person involved, is not in a hurry at all. After the college entrance examination, he could roughly estimate his results.

It’s hard to say whether I can become the top scorer in the country, but I can definitely get a very high score.

The release of the college entrance examination results a few days later confirmed this.

Chapter 485: Top Scorer of the College Entrance Examination, Parents’ Jobs

Shamao Lane is bustling in the early morning, and it is especially bustling today. Strangers come and go in Shamao Lane, including many reporters carrying cameras.

An elderly lady who had just been interviewed by a reporter started chatting with the neighbors passing by.

"The Zhou family has really become famous this time. If our son can be half as successful as their kid, I will die without regrets."

"Come on, this is the top scholar in the country, there are only two in a year, anyone can do it?"

"It's unbelievable that a small place like Shamao Lane could produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"I've long seen that the boy from the Zhou family is different from the others. He's really like the God of Literature. How can we be the same?"

…………

The reason why Shamao Lane is so lively today is because the college entrance examination results are out. Shamao Lane has produced a national college entrance examination champion, so of course it will be lively.

Zhou Chen became the top scorer in the college entrance examination in 84 with the first place in the country in science.

The day after the results came out, Shamao Lane was in an uproar. In addition to visiting reporters, many teachers and leaders from schools, as well as leaders from the district and city came to visit.

The school, the district and the city all gave Zhou Chen commendations, totaling five thousand yuan.

In this era, what does 5,000 yuan mean? Many people have to work for several years and not eat or drink to earn this amount of money.

Zhou Chen and his family of three finally managed to deal with the visitors. Zhou Chen didn't care, but Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang were extremely excited.

As parents, the biggest wish is for their children to become successful. Now that Zhou Chen is so outstanding, they are naturally very happy.

"Old Zhou, Xiaochen has won us face, we must organize this graduation banquet well."

In this world, few people can escape from the world of fame and fortune. Although Han Huifang is just an ordinary housewife, she also cares about her reputation.

Now that my son has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, such a big event must be celebrated in a big way. I can't wait to let all my relatives and friends know the good news.

"No problem, I'll start planning now, and then pick a good day to make it a grand event."

Zhou Jianguo naturally would not have any objection.

Zhou Chen understood his parents' thoughts very well. Of course they had to celebrate when their child became successful. If he were in their shoes, he would definitely do the same.

After discussing the graduation banquet, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang began to care about Zhou Chen's choice of school.

"Xiaochen, have you decided which university to go to? Jingda or Jinghua?"

In their opinion, since their son was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, it was not an arbitrary choice of university for him to choose. Even if it was the best university in the country, there would be no problem.

In response to his parents' questions, Zhou Chen said, "Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to these two universities, and I don't want to leave Jinling or you."

Zhou Jianguo thought for a moment, "So you want to go to Jinling University? That's fine. Although Jinling University is not as good as the two universities in the capital, it is also one of the best universities. It is also close to home, so you can come back anytime you want."

Han Huifang also nodded in agreement. Although she wanted her son to go to the best university and receive the best education, deep down in her heart, she still hoped that her son could stay with her.

A mother who has lost a child naturally wants her child to be by her side the most.

"No, I plan to go to Jinling Medical College."

"Medical school?"

Zhou Chen's answer surprised Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang. They could still accept Jinling University, but they really couldn't accept Jinling Medical College.

"Xiaochen, why do you want to go to medical school? This school is much worse than Jinling University."

"Dad, Mom, I want to study medicine."

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang looked at each other, and then Zhou Jianguo said, "Xiaochen, even if you want to study medicine, there is no need to go to Jinling Medical College. You can go to the medical college in the capital. The conditions there should be better."

Zhou Chen: "Mom and Dad, I don't want to go to the capital. I just want to stay with you in Jinling. Although the medical school in the capital is better, I believe in my learning ability. Even in Jinling, it will definitely not be worse than in the capital."

In the world of Nowhere is worse than You, he has studied in the best medical school in the country and there is no need for him to go again.

"Can……"

"Dad, I've made up my mind. Just trust me. I won't let you down."

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Zhou Chen's choice. Since their son was willing to stay in Jinling to accompany them, what else could they say?

Zhou Chen finally got his wish and was admitted to Jinling Medical College.

When this news came out, it caused quite a stir in Jinling. The top scorer in the college entrance examination did not choose the best university in the country, but instead chose Jinling Medical College. This was something no one had expected.

Even the leaders of Jinling Medical College were dumbfounded when they heard the news.

Although they think that their school is excellent, they also know that there is still a big gap compared to the top universities in the country.

As a result, Zhou Chen, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, did not go to Peking University or Jinghua University, but chose their medical school. Everyone was shocked, but also very happy.

Because Zhou Chen's choice undoubtedly gave their medical school a very loud advertisement.

In addition, the fact that Zhou Chen was the top scorer in the college entrance examination shows that he is very smart. Such an outstanding talent is naturally what all schools want.

But after all, he was just a top scorer in the college entrance examination. After the uproar, he was soon forgotten, and TV stations and newspapers stopped reporting on it.

On the same city wall, Zhou Chen, Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin gathered together again.

"I heard you say last year that you wanted to study medicine. I didn't expect you to actually go there. But why didn't you choose a medical school in the capital instead of a medical school in Jinling?"

Qi Weimin was just surprised that Zhou Chen became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, because he knew that Zhou Chen had the ability to do so.

He just couldn't understand why Zhou Chen applied to Jinling Medical College. He felt that with Zhou Chen's grades, he could go to a better school, and even if he worked hard, he would have the opportunity to study abroad. But why did he choose Jinling Medical College, which was not even the top one.

Qiao Yicheng said, "Zhou Chen, you don't want to be too far away from home, right?"

"That's the reason." Zhou Chen nodded.

Qi Weimin said: "I know what you mean, but I still think that your choice is not the best. But it's good this way. We all stay in the province, so it will be convenient if we want to get together in the future."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen asked them, "You two, after a year of college, what do you think?"

Qi Weimin said: "I feel pretty good. It's much more comfortable than in high school. I have more time and can go home more often."

Qiao Yicheng: "I feel pretty good too. Besides, our normal school doesn't charge tuition, and sometimes we can work and study, which makes our life much more fulfilling than in high school."

The reason why he went to a normal university was because it did not require tuition fees, and he could also do odd jobs while in college, which made his life much more comfortable and relaxed than when he stayed at home and waited for money from his father.

"By the way, Zhou Chen, I heard that you gave Sanli your junior high school notes. Sanli's academic performance has improved a lot in the past year, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to get into high school."

Zhou Chen said: "I heard from Sanli before that your father doesn't want her to go to high school. He wants her to learn technology and go to a technical school?"

Qiao Yicheng snorted coldly: "He is reluctant to pay the tuition and wants Sanli to start working earlier."

Zhou Chen said tentatively: "If your father doesn't want to pay for the tuition, I can help. Whether it's work or other things in the future, education is really important. If you go to high school, you will have the opportunity to enter university, and if you go to a technical school, you will be a worker in the future. I'm not saying that being a worker is bad, but in the future, there may be many jobs that are better than being a worker."

Today's workers naturally have a stable job, but he knows that this situation will not last long.

Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin both attended college for a year and had some exposure to society, so they could understand what Zhou Chen meant.

Qiao Yicheng said: "Thank you, Zhou Chen, but Sanli is my sister, I will do my best to help her."

Qi Weimin teased Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, you care so much about Sanli, do you have any thoughts about her?"

Qiao Yicheng glared at Qi Weimin fiercely and scolded, "Qi Weimin, shut up, Sanli is still young."

Indeed, Qiao Sanli was only thirteen years old, and in his eyes, she was just a child.

…………

"Sanli, this is the high school notes I prepared for you, please study hard."

Zhou Chen gave a package of books to Qiao Sanli.

Qiao Sanli was admitted to high school. Although her father didn't want her to go, she had the support of her elder brother Qiao Yicheng, and finally she was admitted to high school as she wished.

However, Qiao Zuwang said that he would only provide living expenses, and let the brothers and sisters figure out the rest of the tuition, book fees, etc. on their own. He would not pay a penny.

Qiao Sanli took the schoolbag happily. She was already over fifteen years old and a grown-up girl. If another boy was so nice to her, she would definitely feel repulsed. However, she would not refuse Zhou Chen's kindness.

Ever since Zhou Chen saved her, she has had different feelings towards Zhou Chen in her heart. Even after several years, this feeling has not faded, but has become deeper.

This is also the reason why she has never rejected Zhou Chen's kindness to her, but she buried this feeling in her heart and dared not express it easily.

Because Zhou Chen is so outstanding, and she is just an ordinary girl, and her family is still a mess, she feels that she is not worthy of Zhou Chen.

"Do you have enough money for tuition and living expenses? If not, I have some here. Consider it as a loan from me to you."

Zhou Chen took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and wanted to give it to Sanli.

When Qiao Sanli saw Zhou Chen giving her money, she quickly pushed it back: "Brother Zhou Chen, I have money. My eldest brother gave it to me."

As she spoke, she took out a handful of small bills from her trouser pocket.

"Xiaochen."

Suddenly a voice was heard. Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli turned around and saw Zhou Jianguo sitting on a bicycle, looking at them strangely.

Zhou Chen didn't react, but Qiao Sanli's face turned red and she quickly whispered something to Zhou Chen.

"Brother Zhou Chen, I'm going back first."

He was about to flee, but realized it was impolite, so he turned around and shouted to Zhou Jianguo, "Hello, uncle."

Watching Qiao Sanli fleeing in a hurry, Zhou Chen walked towards his father.

"Dad, are you off work so early?"

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "The factory has not been doing well recently, so we are quite idle. The girl just now is Qiao Sanli you mentioned, right? I saw you looked for her several times. Do you like her?"

Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Dad, do you think it's appropriate to discuss this here?"

Zhou Jianguo glanced at the people coming and going and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk about it."

When I got home, Han Huifang had already prepared dinner.

"You're back, wash your hands and have dinner."

The family of three sat at the table and ate. Han Huifang said worriedly, "Lao Zhou, what's going on in the factory now?"

"Ugh."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but sigh, "The factory's performance is getting worse and worse. The leaders are also trying to find a solution, but I don't think there is a very good solution. I heard from the deputy director that someone seems to want to acquire our factory."

"Acquisition?"

Han Huifang was shocked: "We are a state-owned enterprise now. If it is acquired, won't it become a private enterprise? Then can we keep our jobs? There are also pensions based on seniority. We only have a few years left before retirement. We can't let anything go wrong at this time."

The couple have worked in the textile factory for many years. Han Huifang is about to turn 50 and will be able to retire soon. If the factory suddenly closes, her retirement will definitely be affected.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We're just small workers. We can't do anything about it. We've made a scene many times, but what's the point?"

Although workers still hold the dominant position now and no one dares to lay off employees easily, if this drags on, the factory will be ruined soon.

"Dad, tell me what's going on in your textile factory. I'll give you some advice."

Zhou Chen was quite concerned about his parents' work. He knew that his parents had worked in a textile factory all their lives, and they couldn't afford to lose their jobs when they died.
