Chapter 162: Can a top student humiliate others?
Chunlan took the high school entrance examination at Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School.
Speaking of which, Fengyang County No. 1776 Middle School used to be even more impressive than Jiangchuan City No. Middle School, and it has a longer history. Its predecessor was Lufeng Academy in the st year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, which is in the Gregorian calendar. It has a history of more than years.
This is because Fengyang County is a thousand-year-old county. Jiangchuan at that time belonged to its jurisdiction. Cai Lun, the greatest eunuch in Chinese history and the inventor of papermaking, one of the four great inventions, was from Fengyang County. The brave Zhao Yun also served as the prefect of Fengyang County, so Fengyang County was also called Zilong County. The Fengyang specialty jar meat that Zhang Yunqi loved to eat and was famous in later generations was made by him.
It was not until the second year of the Republic of China that Fengyang Prefecture was abolished and changed into Fengyang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Hengyongjiang Fengdao. It was from that time on that Fengyang County became the younger brother of Jiangchuan City.
Although it is not as good as Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School is not bad either. People in Fengyang County have always been proud to apply to this school. The students who come here to study are definitely outstanding in the county. As for the No. 1 Middle School in the city, people from ordinary families and without super outstanding academic performance would not even think about it.
On the morning of the exam, Zhang Yunqi rode his bike to take Chunlan to Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School. Zhang's mother also came. During the high school entrance examination, all students in the city were on holiday, and Zhang Yunqi had nothing to do. The Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop at home was open as usual, and Zhang Yunfeng was in charge of the shop.
The high school entrance examination in that era was more important than in later generations, and parents paid more attention to it. This was mainly because the options after the high school entrance examination at that time were different from those in later generations. High school students in later generations would definitely choose to go directly from junior high school to high school, but technical secondary schools in that era were very popular, and a large number of students with excellent grades would choose technical secondary schools. As long as they did well in the high school entrance examination, they would have the opportunity to study in a good technical secondary school, and after graduation they would have a stable job and eat public food. It was a rigid system, and the value of the college entrance examination was much higher than that of later generations. In that era when there were as many PhDs as dogs and masters as dogs, it was as difficult for college students to find a job as dog hair.
Facing such a big test for the first time, Chunlan was inevitably a little nervous. Zhang Yunqi and Zhang Ma sent her to the crowded school gate. Seeing parents and students everywhere, she became even more nervous.
Mother Zhang held Chunlan's hand and said a lot of words, which were 80% similar to the ordinary instructions given by ordinary parents. She kept on talking...
As the exam was approaching, the school gate opened. After Chunlan listened to what her mother said, she waved her hand and walked towards the school. There were too many people and her figure was soon drowned in the crowd of examinees rushing to the school gate. Zhang Yunqi looked at Zhang's mother, who was standing on the stone steps under the scorching sun with sweat on her forehead, tiptoeing and trying to look in the direction where Chunlan disappeared. Suddenly, he felt that this moment was not ordinary at all.
When he, the top scorer in Fengyang County, took the high school entrance examination, he was also at Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School, also under the scorching sun. The difference was that he came alone, like an orphan. There was no other way, as his family did not have the conditions. Zhang Yunqi estimated that when he was taking the exam, his mother Zhang was in the tobacco fields, collecting tobacco leaves and worrying about his tuition fees.
One thing that left a deep impression on me was that the high school entrance examination allowed this idiot, who had lived for 15 years and whose ancestors had been peasants for 18 generations, to enter the county town for the first time. At that time, he was very naive and curious. He was walking on the road and looking around. He accidentally bumped into a beautiful woman's butt and pushed her with his front. The beautiful woman poked his forehead with her hand and said in Fengyang dialect: "Are you looking for death?"
If it were now, Zhang Yunqi would definitely ask her: "Are you going to die in bed, or die in ecstasy on the green grasslands of Hulunbuir? Otherwise, beautiful lady, pick a place and we can discuss in depth how to die?"
It has to be said that the so-called emotional intelligence refers to smoothing out one's own edges to a certain extent. The straightness, stiffness, and shyness of teenagers may be what you hate at the time, but when things have changed, you will suddenly realize that this is the best, purest, and most handsome version of yourself. So every time Zhang Yunqi looks at photos of himself when he was young, he can't help but think of Daniel Wu.
Before Chunlan's exam results came out, Zhang Yunqi found a big hotel near Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School and booked two rooms for Zhang's mother to rest. Zhang's mother did not rest and stayed up until the first exam was over. Then the two of them picked up Chunlan and found a big restaurant for dinner.
Compared to before taking the exam, Chunlan looked much more relaxed. After the afternoon exam, she felt even more relaxed. When she finished the last subject of the high school entrance exam, politics, she walked out of the school gate with a smile on her face and walked towards her mother and second brother.
That night, the Zhang family of five had a seafood dinner in Nanhai Fishing Village.
The end of the high school entrance examination also means the end of the vacation.
The final exam is coming soon. Zhang Yunqi studies very hard and spends most of his time reviewing. Lianzhong is already on the right track. Such a trading company cannot be said to have any long-term planning and strategic development. The model is also simple, but it makes money in a real way, especially now that the Subor computer learning machine is popular all over the country. There is no shortage of distributors. However, with Yu Lin in charge, he, the cheap boss, can just lie down and count money. One day this weekend, Zhang Ji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop was open as usual. Zhang Ma and Zhang Yunfeng went to the vegetable market to purchase. Zhang Yunqi and Chunlan were guarding the shop, but there were few customers. He was reviewing with the notebook he had just seen. What was sad was that Chunlan always put it next to him and watched him do the test questions with great interest. Once he made a mistake in a question, Chunlan, who just graduated from the third grade of junior high school, began to instruct and nag him, a high school student. Damn, he really wanted to ask, can a top student humiliate people in this way?
It was not until around five in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, that a middle-aged man in casual clothes who looked ordinary came into the store. He ordered a bowl of Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Noodles, and Zhang Yunqi started to cook it for him.
After the fish meal was served, Zhang Yunqi continued to review his lessons, but the middle-aged man took a few bites of the fish meal and suddenly said, "Why would someone slander such delicious fish meal as having cockroaches?"
Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
The middle-aged man looked up at Zhang Yunqi and said, "It's boring to eat alone. Young man, do you mind coming over and chatting with me?"
Zhang Yunqi nodded, walked over, sat opposite the middle-aged man, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
The middle-aged man said: "Let's talk about you."
Zhang Yunqi laughed: "Me?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, boys like you are quite rare. You are studying and your grades are so good. If I remember correctly, you are the top scorer in the Fengyang County High School Entrance Examination. You even opened a trading company outside."
Zhang Yunqi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He had gray hair on his temples and a square face with sharp edges. Although he was dressed very simply, the Omega watch on his wrist was not simple.
Zhang Yun became interested: "And then?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It has a great future and unlimited potential."
Zhang Yunqi asked again: "Do you know me?"
The middle-aged man replied: "My son knows him."
"Who is your son?"
"clever."
