Chapter 63 Forever Young, Forever... Lively(1/2)
The light emitted by the incandescent lamps that were covered with a layer of spider web was dim.
It cannot completely illuminate the large kitchen of Lao Zhou's house.
Three people sat around the square table on the stove.
Several dishes made by Zhou Kuan exuded an attractive fragrance.
Seeing that his parents almost stopped chopsticks, Zhou Kuan was still not busy scattering rice and said vaguely: "Just the principal gave me some privileges."
"After the college entrance examination, the school will reimburse me for four years of college tuition at one time and enjoy the treatment of the top scorer in the school. It may be a bonus of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."
After a moment of pause, Zhou Kuan continued: "Now, I'm just twenty or thirty, so let's work harder."
With just these three sentences, Zhou Yuanchu put down the bowls and chopsticks directly when he heard this.
Chen Wenyin didn't even hold the bowl firmly, and it dropped on the table with a clang, so it was not broken;
Then he hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Yuanchu, what did your son say just now?"
Zhou Yuanchu is a middle-aged man who has been working for nearly ten years, and is still relatively steady. He directly extracts the key points: "I said he can get 600 yuan, and the school will give him a big bonus."
To be precise, this method of extracting the key points should be called "take it out of context"!
Zhou Kuan had to emphasize specifically: "I didn't say I could get 600, I said I was trying hard to get 600."
Zhou Yuanchu picked up the bowls and chopsticks, waved his hand holding the chopsticks, and said indifferently: "It's all the same, no difference."
"Yes, it's all the same, no difference." Chen Wenyin reacted quickly and directly agreed.
Zhou Kuan: “…”
He had to call himself an expert and joked: "Don't give such expectations, what if I get 599 exams at that time?"
Chen Wenyin's face was three points again happy: "It's okay to have 599, and it's OK to have 599, it must be a key university."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kuan said with a smile: "That's why I said you take the time to burn incense. My score now depends on luck. If you are lucky, the province has a high ranking, so you can go to a good university and almost can't go to it. Wasn't Zhou Yubao like this back then?"
Hearing this, Chen Wenyin suddenly reacted: "No, what are your scores now? It depends on your luck to go to college?"
Zhou Kuan said casually: "571, the top 2.8% of science references in the province. Moving forward one point will definitely lead to 985 colleges."
After saying that, I didn't forget to stew the rice.
Chen Wenyin smiled happily and exclaimed: "It's great! You can say this score is more than 550, it sounds comfortable. Does anyone like a college that you can go to if you have to take your luck?"
Zhou Kuan didn't hide it and said casually: "Sunshan University in Guangdong can get into the exam with an admission score of 600 in previous years. Anyway, I will take the exam with 600 points. If I don't get into the exam, it means that my ancestors won't bless me."
As soon as Chen Wenyin finished speaking, before she could speak, Zhou Yuanchu shouted excitedly: "CUHK?! That is a very famous key university!"
"This is OK, this is great, tomorrow... it won't work tomorrow. I'll go to the temple at the entrance of the village to burn incense!"
The so-called "Dianli" means the last three words of the name are Taigong Hall, which generally refers to the common ancestor of several surnames within a certain area in a certain area.
The main worship is not the Bodhisattva, but the Taigong.
Generally speaking, the customs in Baihua and even Nanqiu are to worship ancestors and gods at home and worship ancestors in the hall, and seek blessings for major events.
It’s similar to worshiping Buddha or something, just asking for peace of mind.
Chen Wenyin next to him was quite confident: "That's sure to be able to go, and my ancestors will definitely bless you!"
Although CUHK is not as famous as Tsinghua and Peking University, it is also ranked in the top 10 in the country and has always been the best university in South China. Of course, Chen Wenyin also knows it.
After talking for several words in the spring breeze, Chen Wenyin had time to ask: "Why did your school principal give you privileges?"
"He is good to others. When I see me for the first time, I think I am a dragon and a phoenix among people..."
Zhou Kuan originally wanted to whisper a few words, but when he saw Chen Wenyin staring at him, he had to cough twice and tell the truth.
"I showed the style of the second middle school students on a specific occasion, which made my superiors very satisfied. So the principal made an exception and gave me these privileges."
Chen Wenyin digs into the bottom line: "What occasion and what to show?"
"The student representatives spoke at the oath-taking meeting." Zhou Kuan answered honestly.
Chen Wenyin frowned slightly: "That's it?"
Zhou Kuan said, "It was only when the principal took the initiative to invite me. He was troubled by me. He deliberately arranged for me before the city's unified examination, saying that he would exercise my stress resistance in advance."
"You principals are really good." Chen Wenyin obviously only focused on the key points and praised her words.
“…”
Then the couple praised Zhou Kuan one by one.
However, with Zhou Yu and Zhuyu in front, the couple was excited.
After chatting for a while, he reminded Zhou Kuan to continue working hard, take more test points, and not to relax.
I won’t mention Zhou Kuan’s return home empty-handed.
Finally, I mentioned the situation with Zhou Kuan about the underwriting of the Welfare Lottery during the period.
"The business of Welfare Lottery is better than expected. It opened last month until the end of the month for seventeen days. After accounting, it took more than 4,000 yuan, which is quite good."
In a well-connected place like Taiping, it is exclusively underwriting, but in fact, the business is not very good at the moment.
But this is how it is opened. Before, the train ticket sales were just about to catch up with the time, otherwise it would be time to have customers.
Anyway, these two exclusive businesses are stable, with no major risks, and it is difficult to make a lot of money.
Welfare lottery insists that it will not provide any form of credit, so there is no problem.
This thing is a form of gambling. Some people are easily addicted and easily become bad debts due to credit.
However, even if Zhou Kuan didn't mention it, Zhou Yuanchu and Chen Wenyin knew this. There were not many relatives and friends at home, so there was nothing to say.
During the half day at home, although it was drizzling and the mountain roads were slippery, Zhou Kuan still went to the graves of grandparents and other grandparents who were close to the deceased elders...
The next day, before Zhou Kuan went to school, Chen Wenyin took another 200 yuan.
He said: "Last month's holiday was a week late, and I think you don't have enough money to spend;
Although May Day will definitely be on holiday, you are under a lot of pressure to study now. You usually buy more milk and eat fruits.”
Zhou Kuan: “…”
I want to say that the money I can take out in my pocket now is more than you earn in a month. Are you angry?
He didn't refuse.
Zhou Kuan did not use the matter of making money to distract his parents from paying attention.
When the college entrance examination is over, everything will be settled, and it will be explained in just a few words. It is not like I have earned hundreds of millions...
…………
…………
Zhou Kuan arrived in Baihua at around 5 o'clock. Although it didn't rain when he got off the bus this time, he did not forget his new umbrella.
Walked from the station to the near No. 2 Middle School, and found a fast food restaurant to deal with the supper.
It wasn't intentionally avoiding going to 602 for dinner.
But Huang Sumei and Su Xiaoxi also returned home on Qingming Festival.
When she returned to Jiahua Haoting Court, she met Huang Sumei in front of her. She smiled and said, "Have Xiaokuan had dinner?"
"I ate on the street." Zhou Kuan replied with a smile.
"Try one of the freshly washed apples."
"Okay."
“…”
As soon as he walked into the classroom, Zhou Kuan felt the tense atmosphere immediately.
It was obvious that I hadn't started evening self-study yet, and the classroom was crowded with people, with few empty seats and no sound of talking.
Of course, this is also because Liu Nian and the others did not come.
They really reflect what a teenager is, always young, always enthusiastic, always... lively.
Just as she was thinking... Liu Nian and Li Yong walked in with their arms around each other and greeted her: "Brother Kuan is here early."
Then Liu Nianyiyang picked up the disposable lunch box in his hand: "Yong Yazi and I brought a few bowls of dried rice noodles from Feng Tang, and it was the best restaurant."
"I rushed all the way, but it's still hot now." Li Yong followed from the side and said, "Brother Kuan comes and taste it."
“…”
Liu Nian and Li Yong immediately broke the silence of the classroom and became noisy all of a sudden.
They can't feel the pressure of the college entrance examination at all.
One is a fool who can take so many exams anyway.
One is that I can only take so many exams anyway.
Although Zhou Kuan had already had dinner, he still tasted the dried rice noodles packaged by Liu Nian and the others from Feng Tang.
The method is similar to tomato rice noodles, except that after the rice noodles are cooked in the soup, no more soup is added.
