Chapter 98 Sprint
"You really have become a writer." Fang Wenyu couldn't help but laugh: "Wen Qingjing is here!"
"There is nothing wrong with being a literary youth, but there is something wrong with pretending to be a literary youth. That is pretentiousness and falsehood, and these two are exactly the things that we are most opposed to in literary creation, and we are opposed to them far more powerfully than you are."
"It's just that outsiders can't tell the truth from the false, so they just generalize." Zhou Zhi said: "For example, Xue Shan, I thought she was pretending before, but after I really got to know her, I realized that she has always been real. Then it's not
Calling her sick only makes others understand her."
"I'm leaning on my elbows! You're stuck!" Fang Wenyu was really frightened now: "When you encountered this kind of situation before, you either laughed it off or retorted, why are you seriously arguing with me now?
!”
"Anyway, this trip is very important to me, please. Especially Yan Xiao, you and Yongmei have to kill him."
"Don't worry." Fang Wenyu also became serious: "I really didn't expect this. I'm sorry for what I just said."
"Two brothers in the same generation, it's boring to talk about this. By the way, your wish to go out and have a look will probably be realized soon, provided that... you pass this final exam well."
"So many people came to the school today. I heard that they even called you. Do you know anything?"
"Yeah, but I can't say it now because I'm asked to keep it a secret. But I can tell you that your dream can be directly linked to your final exam results this semester, and it will be realized soon."
"I will reveal the answer to you as soon as the results come in."
"Okay! Elbow, thank you for telling me this!"
…
…
On Friday night, when Zhou Zhi returned to the entrance of the Sugar and Wine Company, she saw a maroon red Santana parked on the street.
That was the car of Zhu Dazhang and Xiaoliujie. They came back, and there was a domestic pickup truck parked behind them.
When I arrived at the dormitory, sure enough, the door on the first floor was open and the light was on.
Liu Er and a group of people were busy packing things. Zhou Zhi called out "Second Brother". Liu Er looked up and said, "They are all at your house up there!"
"Be careful when you pack up the vinyl records. Those are the old man's treasures." After Zhou Zhi explained, he hurried upstairs and saw Mr. Yu, Xiao Liujie, Zhu Dazhang, and Third Brother Yu all there.
There was joy and laughter in the house, and grandma was holding the little sixth sister who was already pregnant and was reluctant to let go. The old man believed that the unborn child was a treasure, and he kept teaching her how to take care of it.
The sixth sister’s face is also plumper, and she is a bit more dignified than before. She is wearing a loose white skirt with a loose ponytail at the back. After removing the makeup, it’s amazing that the pregnant woman looks pure.
"Mr. Yu! Third brother, Brother Dazhang, and sixth sister!" Zhou Zhi greeted each one: "Grandma, I'm back!"
"Your little sixth sister is pregnant!" Grandma announced to Zhou Zhi in surprise.
"Grandma, I already knew this!" Xiao Liujie said with a smile.
"I haven't seen you Sange Yu for a long time. I didn't even see you at Miss Sixth Sister's wedding last time."
"It's too far to come back." Brother Yu should look exactly like Mr. Yu when he was young. Even if this family wears an ordinary shirt, they look more refined than outsiders. Zhou Zhi has never seen Mr. Yu and Mr. Yu.
Brother wears short clothes: "After returning from Yunnan, I went to Guangzhou again and inspected the photo studios there."
"Are you ready to open a photo studio?"
"When I inspected the photo studio, I found that the cosmetics market there is pretty good." Brother Yu smiled and said, "The electrical appliances are also very popular."
"Stop talking about that, elbow, go to your room." Mr. Yu said.
Mr. Yu's spirit is completely different from before. He still has a pair of silk shirts, but he has a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, which makes him more elegant: "This time I came back mainly to bring Xiaoliu back to save the neighbors and see everyone."
, and secondly, say goodbye to everyone."
"I will live in Manzhou from now on. Of course, I will definitely come back to visit occasionally."
"Old man, do you live with Miss Sixth Sister?"
"I don't want to live with them. I live on the top floor of the tobacco company, and the rooftop is perfect for growing flowers."
"Oh, are your legs and feet okay?"
"That's no problem, but I'm afraid the orchids won't be able to absorb the dew. Let's try it first."
Mr. Yu opened a box and said, "Sir, thanks to your kindness, I have lived up to your Aunt Yu's instructions. These things are just a thought, so you can keep them."
"This is too expensive, the old man can't do this!"
"They're all precious gadgets. How can you think that after I die, three people playing with watches and cameras outside can keep these things? I don't know which one is cheaper to collect rags!"
It's not unreasonable to say this. The three people outside like to play "foreign style". If you say these things are good, they still think they are tacky.
"Then thank you, old man." Then Zhou Zhi stopped being pretentious.
"Then let's go down. We've been clamoring for your third sister to review for a long time. I'll invite you back for a drink tomorrow. You want to come."
"That's right, even if the old man doesn't tell me, I can't miss it."
Mr. Yu smiled and patted Zhou Zhi's arm again: "Good boy. You hosted the wedding well that day."
The hug between the sixth sister and her father at that wedding completely resolved the knot between father and daughter and settled the resentment and entanglements for many years. It was Zhou Zhi who made the most contribution.
However, Mr. Yu has always regarded Zhou Zhi as his old friend, so this is already the biggest verbal expression.
The sixth sister is now married, and the unbridled laughter and play between the two siblings will no longer be possible again, but the relationship will only become deeper: "Elbow, I heard that you are capable again? Let's go now.
A national publication?”
"That's just a fluke. Sister, don't say that."
"You can do it!" Xiao Liujie said with a smile, "Many people in Manzhou are asking about you."
"What are you asking about me?"
"May I ask where I hired your wedding host?"
Xiao Liujie giggled, her tone full of pride: "I said he is my brother, a great talent, you can't even invite him!"
"Sister, this is not appropriate for you. As long as the price is open, it's not like you can't accept the job."
"Hahahaha..." The sixth sister was so happy that her pregnancy seemed to have made her laugh less.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhi received a slap from his mother: "Don't make your little sixth sister laugh! Be careful of the fetal force!"
This suddenly reminded Zhou Zhi of the first time he went to Sister Xiaoliu's house. Xiaoliujie also brought malted milk and accused Zhu Dazhang and told him not to make Zhou Zhi laugh, so as not to hurt his wound. For a moment, his heart was filled with warmth.
.
"Then let's go down. If you have time, come to Manzhou and let your brother Zhu teach you how to drive."
Zhou Zhi thought to himself that this guy who didn’t even know how to put on a seat belt had the nerve to teach me when he got in the car, but he said, “That’s great, I was just looking for an opportunity to mention this to Brother Zhu.”
Zhu Dazhang smiled and said: "We have bought this car now. It will be convenient for you to pick up and drop off your little sixth sister. You can come with us whenever you want."
"It's okay, Brother Zhu! There is a car family here?!"
Zhu Dazhang was extremely modest: "Thanks to your idea, I made a small profit."
"Let's go, let's get down. I've been up for a long time and still can't move my legs." Seeing that one more night of chatting like this wouldn't be enough, Mr. Yu walked out of the door first.
The next day's homecoming banquet was held at the county guest house, and it was the first time Zhou Zhi had grilled sea cucumbers and squid since he was reborn.
After returning home, I began to examine the treasures that Mr. Yu gave me, including Nanhong Chao beads, jade snuff bottles, and Hetian jade-carved quills.
Hehe Erxian and Qilin sent their white jade waist medals to their children, and the old man did not intend to leave them to his grandson. In addition, there are several mottled bamboo fans from the famous Qing Dynasty artists Wang Wuxian and Zhou Ding, as well as several large-door porcelains from the Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, mainly for high-end products. Bowls, nest plates, etc.
There are also three coral-topped teeth and horns, a small patent leather jar, equipped with a small gold spoon and a small gold needle.
This thing is called a cigarette paste jar. It was used by heavy smokers before liberation and was a standard issue for dandies.
Everything was of top quality and in perfect condition. Zhou Zhi carefully pulled out the box under the bed, opened it, opened the lids of two lotus leaf lid jars, and put everything in.
Without showing off anything, this box already contains hundreds of millions worth of things over 20 years later.
Next, the family began to prepare for war, and my mother began to take over the power of food purchasing. Although my father only cooked food when he came home or made it on weekends, he had to ensure that the nutrition was balanced and the taste was good.
Because the third sister will take the college entrance examination soon, everyone is trying their best to encourage her.
Zhou Zhi himself also has to start sprinting. Now he is supplementing physics, chemistry and biology, because the first year of high school still has to pass the test, and the results determine the study tour places in Sichuan No. 4 Middle School and No. 7 Middle School.
Although Zhou Zhi, as the "discoverer" of mind maps, could succeed even if he did poorly in the exam, Principal Zhao must not look good.
You don't need to be very good in the three subjects of Physics and Chemistry. As long as you get the basic points you should get, Zhou Zhi's overall score will be among the best in the grade.
The performance of the four people in the liberal arts class has improved significantly. Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi are working hard to get good results and support Zhou Zhi in front of their parents.
Although this may sound strange, it is actually true.
Compared with most students in the grade, the review time of the four-person group is half a month earlier. Similarly, these people also include Fang Wenyu, Li Qiang, He Yongmei, Wei Fei, Yang He.
On July 7, the college entrance examination began.
The third sister has indeed tried her best, and everyone who sees her can only feel sorry for her, but not blame her.
But it was true that he did not do well in the exam. What is even more tragic is that in 1991, the admission rate was the lowest since 1983!
2.96 million people across the country took the college entrance examination, but only 620,000 were admitted, an admission rate of less than 21%!
As soon as the scores came out, my mother started busy running for jobs. There was no hope of continuing her studies, but she had to have a job!
Another way is to continue repeating studies. According to Zhou Zhi's idea, it is to let the third sister repeat the studies for another year. The third sister's grades are on the edge of the college line, so she can continue to try her luck.
However, it happened that Wutong had repaired a hydropower station and was in urgent need of people. As long as they had a high school degree, they could take the exam and be trained for employment.
Wutong is close to the third sister's house, and the pay at the hydropower station is decent. It's like living in the countryside but getting the salary of a city worker. Now I'm in a dilemma.
In the end, the fifth uncle decided to let the third sister work first. The employment situation will become more and more severe in the future. If he repeats one year and fails to get into a good university, he will not have a good chance to work like he does now. Even if he is admitted, he will be released in three years.
What it is like, it's hard to say.
And in the future, you can also get a junior college or even a bachelor's degree through correspondence courses at work.
