Today is the third day, and Zhou Chen can't hold on any longer. He needs someone to calm down. Regardless of the hot temperature outside, he has been standing in the yard for nearly an hour.

"Bingkun, I know I was wrong. I will study hard tomorrow, no, tonight, I will..."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Chen interrupted quickly: "Juan'er, please forgive me. I don't want to learn anymore. I don't need to learn anymore. I have come to terms with reality. Some things cannot be forced. I accept my fate. If you are this way, I surrender."

He gave Zheng Juan a thumbs up.

"You really don't want to learn anymore?"

Zheng Juan suddenly showed a look of surprise, but when she saw Zhou Chen's dark face, she immediately covered her mouth and argued: "Bingkun, please listen to my explanation, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"Stop talking, or I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up. Go into the room quickly. I need to calm down for a while."

If it were usual, Zheng Juan would definitely not leave, but now, she turned around and left, fearing that Zhou Chen would change his mind and ask her to continue studying.

Zheng Juan's actions made Zhou Chen sigh heavily: "What a sin."

It's really unpleasant to ask for trouble, and he can do nothing about Zheng Juan, this stubborn person.

In the next few days, Zhou Chen felt several times more relaxed. He could even hop when walking. He was in a good mood and walked more lightly.

The Zhou family also restored their former harmony and tranquility. The aftermath was that Zhou Rui and Feng Yue continued to avoid Zhou Chen for the next few days. They were unwilling to be coaxed by Zhou Chen at night and even refused to listen to his favorite storytelling session.

The resumption of the college entrance examination came as scheduled. After the Ministry of Education announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, there was jubilation across the country.

Especially those students, many of them set off firecrackers to celebrate.

For many students, being a worker is not what they expect. They all hope to change their future through studying, but being a worker or a farmer will stay like that for the rest of their lives and there is no possibility of change.

Therefore, for those who are motivated and ambitious, taking the college entrance examination and entering university is the most important moment in life.

After waiting for ten years, this moment has finally come. How can I not be excited?

In November, registration for the college entrance examination in Jiangliao Province began, and Zhou Chen naturally signed up as soon as possible.

The time of the college entrance examination this year varies across the country. The one in Jiangliao Province is in early December.

For many people, this time is very tight, but for Zhou Chen, there is no pressure at all.

Among Zhou Chen’s friends, not many took the college entrance examination. Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing gave up directly, and only Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang decided to take the college entrance examination.

In preparation for the college entrance examination, Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang often discussed things with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not put on airs. As long as they asked questions and he understood them, he would teach them.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance examination. Although there were many subjects in the examination, Zhou Chen still passed every exam easily.

Just as he expected, although it was a different time and space, the college entrance examination had just been resumed and the difficulty of this time was relatively low, mainly for the consideration of the majority of candidates. After all, there were many people who did not have the time and opportunity to study in previous years.

If the difficulty level is high from the beginning, it is estimated that out of tens of millions of college entrance examination candidates, not even one-tenth would be admitted.

Many people from Jiangliao Publishing House also took the college entrance examination, so Zhou Chen's participation in the college entrance examination was not abrupt or too noticeable.

Shao Jingwen was very concerned about Zhou Chen's college entrance examination.

"Bingkun, are you confident about this year's college entrance examination?"

Facing Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen did not hide anything and told the truth: "Yes."

Shao Jingwen was happy and sad at the same time: "If you get into college, you will leave the publishing house, right?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Well, Mr. Shao, if I am admitted to the university, the publishing house will not hold me back, right?"

Shao Jingwen immediately said angrily: "Who dares? If anyone dares to block you, I will not forgive him."

He had long regarded Zhou Chen as a friend regardless of age difference, so he would definitely consider Zhou Chen's side in this matter. Although the job in the publishing house was good, if Zhou Chen could get into a good university, he could find a better job in the future.

He was also aware of Zhou Chen's talent. Being a content editor in a publishing house was a waste of his talent. He also wanted Zhou Chen to have a brighter future.

"Thank you, Mr. Shao."

"Bingkun, you don't need to thank me."

Not only Shao Jingwen was concerned about Zhou Chen's college entrance examination results, but even Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen found Zhou Chen and asked him how he was doing. Zhou Chen naturally answered truthfully.

This year's college entrance examination is destined to make countless people anxious.

This is especially true for the Zhou family, especially Li Suhua. Her three children all took the college entrance examination, and she hoped that all three children would pass and bring honor to the family.

"Bingkun, have your brother and sister written back? I don't know how they did in the exam, and whether they can get into college."

Looking at the anxious Li Suhua, Zhou Chen advised: "Mom, don't worry too much. You know their grades. I think the college entrance examination this time is easy. They will definitely have no problem and will definitely be admitted to a good university. Just wait for good news. By then, you will have three college students."

"You should think about how you should walk when the time comes, when you return to Guangzi Pian, so that you can live up to your status."

Li Suhua was amused by Zhou Chen: "You silly kid, look how proud you are. When the results come out, if you don't pass, I'll see you cry."

Zhou Chen said: "This kind of thing will never happen, just wait for my good news."

After his comfort, old lady Li Suhua finally felt much better.

In the evening, Zhou Chen hugged Zheng Juan and suddenly asked, "Juan'er, if I get into college, what major do you want me to study?"

Zheng Juan said: "I don't understand these. No matter what university you go to or what major you study, I will support you."

These days, Zhou Chen has also been thinking about what major he should choose.

According to his current status, a great poet and writer, he should definitely choose a major related to literature, which is indeed a major he had not been involved in before.

But he also has his own considerations.

Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, what do you think about me studying medicine?"

Zheng Juan was immediately shocked and asked, "Do you want to study medicine because of Guangming? Bingkun, I don't think you need to do this. You don't need to study medicine for Guangming."

Zhou Chen kissed her lovingly and said softly, "I do want to cure Guangming, but this is not the main reason why I want to study medicine. I want to study medicine because I like this profession. Being a doctor can save more people."

This was partly the reason, but more importantly, he wanted to choose what he was best at, and his mission was to bring happiness to Zheng Juan.

For Zheng Juan, curing Guangming is a very happy thing.

Moreover, he doesn't need to endure year after year to study medicine. With his medical skills, as long as he can show off his skills in school, he will definitely be valued by the school and will be able to start working quickly without having to study in school for several years.

Zheng Juan leaned against Zhou Chen's chest and said slowly: "Bingkun, no matter what you study, I support you."

What Zhou Chen likes most about Zheng Juan is her unconditional support for him. It’s not that Zheng Juan has no opinions, but that she is used to putting him first. This is love.

"Since you want to study medicine, you must choose the best medical school. I plan to go to the capital to attend university. Juan'er, you will come with me then."

"what?"

Zheng Juan sat up in shock and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "You want me to go with you, but what about our mom, Ruirui, Yueyue and Congcong? Should we take them with us as well?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course. Do you think I want to abandon them?"

"cocoa."

Zheng Juan seemed very flustered. She had never been out of Jichun in her life, and suddenly she was told that they were going to the capital. She was really scared and terrified to go to a strange place.

"But if we go to the capital, where will we live and what can we do? It's the capital, food, drink and accommodation will definitely be very expensive, so forget it."

Zhou Chen sensed Zheng Juan's fear, and he also sat up, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly.

"I know what you're worried about. If it's about money, you don't have to worry. Do you remember the iron box I gave you for safekeeping?"

Zheng Juan didn't understand why Zhou Chen brought this up: "What's wrong? Is there anything in that iron box?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are really too honest. Have you never thought about opening it and taking a look?"

Zheng Juan tilted her head and said, "Didn't you say the things inside are very important? That's why I didn't dare to open it."

"Little fool, there's money in there. Let me calculate, it adds up to about six thousand dollars."

"what?"

Zheng Juan screamed immediately, but quickly covered her mouth, but her eyes could still not hide the shock and fear.

"Bingkun, where did you get so much money?"

"Of course I made money, but I'm only telling you. I made that money from doing business. As you know, I couldn't do business in the past few years, but I arranged for someone..."

Zhou Chen briefly talked about part of his business, which shocked Zheng Juan so much that she believed what Zhou Chen said without thinking.

Chapter 584: Admitted to University, the Zhou Family Returns Home for the New Year

Ever since Zhou Chen said that the whole family wanted to go to the capital together, Zheng Juan has been a little uneasy these days.

Expectation, nervousness, worry, timidity, yearning...

As an authentic Han Chinese, especially in this era, almost 99% of people are full of yearning for the capital.

Although Zheng Juan has never been out of Jichun City and does not have any big ideals, if she has the opportunity to visit the capital, she actually wants to go and take a look.

But when she thought about what would happen if the whole family went, even though Zhou Chen said he had more than 6,000 yuan in savings, she was still very worried.

What she was thinking was that when they arrived in the capital, Zhou Chen would go to college and would definitely not have time to make money. By then, the family couldn't just live off their savings.

Besides, that’s the capital, so buying things there is definitely more expensive than here, as is renting a house, etc.

She has always been frugal and managed the household well, but when she thought about these problems, she could no longer sit still.

Zhou Chen naturally noticed Zheng Juan's anxiety. He had mentioned it many times, but his wife was born to be a worrywart. Even if he said there was no problem, she would still worry.

Before the end of December, the college entrance examination results of Jiangliao Province finally came out. Zhou Chen thought he could get the top score in the college entrance examination, but in the end he found out that he only ranked second in the province.

Although he missed the top spot in the college entrance examination, Zhou Chen did not feel sad. Although he lived a long life and learned a lot, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world.

What's more, the difficulty of this year's college entrance examination is relatively low, so it is normal that some people performed better than him.

With the second-best score in the province, he could choose any university as long as it was in China. This was enough for Zhou Chen.

After the college entrance examination results came out, Zhou Chen applied to Capital Medical College without hesitation.

There was no way. He also knew that the best medical school in the country was the Peking Union Medical College in the capital. But the problem was that Peking Union Medical College did not recruit any students in this college entrance examination and would not reopen until the second half of 79.

Zhou Chen couldn't wait that long, so he had to settle for the next best thing and chose Capital Medical College.

The current Capital Medical College has not yet merged with Peking University. It is still an independent medical school and is second to none in the capital.

Fortunately, he was not in the same campus as Peking University, otherwise, he might see Zhou Rong often in the future, which would definitely make him very upset.

With Zhou Chen's second-best score in the province, he applied to Capital Medical College and was admitted without a doubt.

When Zhou Chen's admission letter was sent to their home, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan were very excited.

In their limited knowledge, the best universities in the country are those in the capital. Zheng Juan already knew that Zhou Chen wanted to study medicine, so she didn't find it strange that Zhou Chen was admitted to the medical school.

But Li Suhua didn't understand why her youngest son didn't choose the two best universities in the country, but insisted on choosing this medical school that she had never heard of.

Although she was confused, she was still very happy. Although her youngest son was already very capable, in the eyes of the older generation like them, getting into university was a matter of bringing honor to the family and was more important than anything else.

The good news didn't stop there. Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong also sent letters home one after another, saying that they had both been admitted to Peking University, one into the Chinese Department and the other into the Philosophy Department.

Zhou Chen knew that the admission rate for this year's college entrance examination was less than 5%, which was far worse than in the future. The main reason was that there were not as many universities now as there would be in the future, and the universities were not divided into particularly detailed categories.

Even though this year's college entrance examination was relatively easy, being admitted to one of the best universities in the country also shows that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong have a solid foundation.

After receiving the letters from Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, Li Suhua was so excited that she couldn't sleep and she couldn't stop smiling for several days.

For an old lady who has no education and cannot even recognize words, being able to raise three children who are admitted to prestigious universities is the most glorious thing in her life. Even when she is old and in the grave, she can meet her ancestors with her head held high.

However, Zheng Juan felt a little depressed when she learned that Zhou Chen's brother and sister were admitted to prestigious universities. She felt that she was so useless. Her husband was so capable, but she was not even one tenth as capable as him.

Look at the situation of the Zhou family. The eldest brother and sister were both admitted to Peking University, the eldest sister-in-law was also admitted to Jichun Medical College, and the brother-in-law is a cultured person and a great poet.

She was the only one who was uneducated, having only graduated from primary school. She felt that she had brought shame to Zhou Chen.

As his wife's partner, Zhou Chen could naturally feel her emotions.

"Juan'er, don't feel inferior. In my heart, you are the best wife in the world. To me, nothing is more important than you."

Zhou Chen's comfort made Zheng Juan feel much better. Yes, no matter what others think, in this family, her husband is the best and most outstanding.

Being loved by her husband is the happiest thing in her life, a hundred times happier than going to college.

Zhou Zhigang, who was far away in the mountain city, also received three letters, one from his family, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.

There is a lot of content in the letter, but the core content is only one, that is, his three children were admitted to universities, two of them were admitted to Peking University, and one was admitted to medical school, all in the capital.

Even though he accepted his youngest son's excellence, he was still surprised when he learned that his youngest son was admitted to a university, a top medical school.

Also, he didn't quite understand why Zhou Chen chose medical school instead of the Chinese department?

However, there was a letter from home, which finally came, hoping that he would come home for the New Year to discuss family matters.
