Chapter 1 The Mountain Village Boy Part 2
Chen Jiazhong sighed in his heart, but still smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Well, come on, I'm waiting for you to have a meal." As he said that, he walked inside. After knowing that his son was working hard outside, Chen Jiazhong suddenly felt a little afraid to face his son.
The boy looked at the back of the Chen family worriedly, then came to the beautiful woman, lowered his head again and said, "Mom, I'm back."
The beautiful woman smiled as kindly as ever and said, "It's good to come back, Yixin, go shake the water and wash your brother's hands and prepare for dinner." She also walked into the house.
The boy raised his head again and looked at his mother worriedly, then looked at his sister who was dragging him towards the water well with joy. A look of pain appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Chen Yixin, who was shaking the water in the well, found that her brother was washing his hands absent-mindedly.
"Uh, nothing." The boy rubbed his hands a few times, then shook them a little and got up and walked into the house. "Hey, brother, wait for me." Chen Yixin shouted dissatisfiedly, while washing his hands with the faucet that was still flowing with water. Then he quickly followed the boy, held the boy's arm again, and walked into the house.
On the dining table, the boy lowered his head and slowly snatched the rice, not taking away any food. The dishes on his wrist were all driven by his mother and sister. Chen's family didn't say anything and slowly drank wine, but only occasionally glanced at his son.
Chen Yixin felt that the atmosphere was very tense. Although she didn't know what was going on, she kept talking to her family, hoping to break the tense atmosphere.
"Brother, aren't you going to get your diploma? Can you show it to me?" When Chen Yixin said this, everyone felt the boy's body tremble suddenly. Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Did he not get his diploma?"
Chen Jiazhong coughed dryly and said, "Yes, give me the graduation certificate."
The boy with his head down hesitated for a moment, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, took out a graduation certificate from his pocket, held it in both hands and handed it over.
After taking it, Chen's family opened it and looked at it. The mother and daughter sitting on both sides also curiously came over. When everyone saw the fonts that were given excellent grades and allowed to graduate, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then they all looked at the boy suspiciously because they didn't understand why the boy was so nervous?
It was still the younger sister who was smart, she hurriedly asked, "Brother, which high school have you been admitted to? Is it a helicopter?" When the boy heard this, he lowered his head and shook it, and whispered, "I...I don't want to go to high school anymore."
Chen Jiazhong's eyebrows jumped and asked in a majestic tone: "What are your high school exam results?" Everyone thought that the boy looked like this because he didn't do well in the exam. Of course, everyone showed a look of disbelief, because the boy usually had good grades.
The boy whispered: "697 points." Everyone frowned again. This score is very high. Why is the boy unhappy?
Chen Yixin interrupted and asked, "Brother, who are you ranked in the school?" But as soon as he said this, Chen Yixin couldn't help but spit out her small tongue. Seeing her brother's frustration, she asked the wrong question.
"No.... first place." Everyone was relieved when the boy said this. It seemed that the boy was not in the city.
"Brother is so amazing, the number one in the school, yes, brother, who are you in the city?" The younger sister asked in a blink of an eye with a pretended joy.
"Uh..." The boy still lowered his head, hesitated for a moment before saying in a very low voice: "First place."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The sister woke up and asked, "Where is the province?"
The boy's voice became even lower: "It's also the first..." Everyone stared at the boy in surprise with big eyes.
Chen Jiazhong glared at the sight of something, and the beautiful woman touched him gently and gave a wink. Chen Jiazhong immediately understood why his son was unwilling to go to high school. He must have thought that his family's financial difficulties were very difficult, and he was preparing to stop studying in order to reduce the burden on his family.
Chen's family looked at the ceiling and sighed, "Ancestors, will it not be suitable for the times if you leave such a family motto?" Now such an excellent descendant is actually preparing to give up his studies in order to worry about his family's financial problems.
Chen Jiazhong took a breath and stood up to signal his daughter to change seats with him. After sitting down next to the boy, he happily patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Son, I know what you are worried about, don't worry about money. Do you know, those fruit farms and fish ponds have been contracted by your father..." Chen Jiazhong told his son what he told his daughter, and Chen Yixin also echoed. As for the beautiful woman, she kept looking at her family with a smile.
The boy then raised his head after hearing his father's words, but there were still concerns in his expression. He stuttered and said, "But Dad, I was admitted to the Affiliated High School of Nanjing University." As he said that, he took out a notice from his pocket again.
"Nanzhou University Affiliated High School?" The two fathers and daughters exclaimed in unison, and the mother also showed a look of surprise.
After receiving the notice, Chen Jiazhong slapped the boy's shoulder with a fierce palm, raised his head and laughed: "It's worthy of being my son. Nanjing University Affiliated High School is a key middle school in the country. Don't worry about anything, please concentrate on your studies and then go to Nanjing University. Hahaha."
Chen Yixin had already hugged the boy and said happily, "Wow, my brother is so amazing, Nanyang University...oh, Nanyang University Affiliated Middle School." The mother also looked at her son with a smile on her face. In China, no matter who she asked, even if she was illiterate, they would tell you that Nanyang University is the highest institution in the country and the temple for students. Nanyang University Affiliated Middle School is the most likely middle school among many students to be admitted to Nanyang University, because many professors from Nanyang University will serve as lecturers at Nanyang University Affiliated Middle School. Therefore, the teaching staff of this middle school is something that other middle schools cannot keep up with.
The boy said anxiously: "But, the tuition fee there... I still go to an ordinary middle school, right?" The boy's worries were not unnecessary, because it was a key middle school in the country or a key focus, and their tuition fee was several times that of other middle schools.
Chen Jiazhong shouted loudly: "No!" Speaking of this, Chen Jiazhong said softly: "Son, Nanyang University Affiliated High School is different from other key middle schools. It is taught by university professors. Those knowledge cannot be bought with money, so you must go to Nanyang University Affiliated High School! I still have that little money!"
"But..." the boy said worriedly, but his father immediately interrupted: "Nothing, if you don't go to study, I will break your legs!"
The boy shivered, lowered his head and whispered yes. Chen Jiazhong patted the boy's shoulder again and said loudly: "Come on, today you are very happy, I'll have a drink with you..." Before he finished speaking, his wife glared hard, and was so scared that he changed his words: "Uh... eat, eat."
During the summer vacation, although the boy still didn't speak much, he helped his family work harder. Maybe he was looking forward to helping his family. A month later, the Chen family left the village and saw the boy off. After watching the boy get on the long-distance bus with simple luggage, Chen family sighed. The beautiful woman and Chen Yixin were both looking at the car going away with tears. Nanyang University Affiliated High School is thousands of kilometers away from here. Now the boy takes a taxi to the provincial capital and has to take a train for several days. Although he can take a plane, ordinary students cannot take a plane, let alone the boy from this mountain village.
Chen Yixin followed her parents home and sat blankly at the door. She was happy for her brother, but was sad that she could only meet her brother for the semester. I don’t know how long it took, but a voice woke her up: “Yixin.”
She looked back and found that her father and mother were standing behind her, while her mother carried a small package. She couldn't help but ask strangely: "Mom, where are you and Dad going?"
Mom smiled and said, "We're moving."
"Moving?" Chen Yixin stood up in surprise.
"Girl, let me tell you some things later. Now you have anything to take away, so go and get it, but you don't need anything like clothes." Chen Jiazhong said softly.
"Then... what should I do with my brother? What should I do with Xiao Huang?" Chen Yixin obviously knew that the moving matter was related to her brother, otherwise she would not have moved immediately as soon as she went out to study. But she didn't dare to ask directly, so she had to ask this.
"Your brother has grown up and started his career of training. Haha, I didn't expect that if we wanted to keep him by my side for a longer time, God could not wait to temper him." Chen Jiazhong looked at his wife and smiled bitterly.
The woman looked at Chen's family with a smile and said, "You were not alone at this age. Your son is now 16 years old, so it's time to go out."
Chen Yixin listened blankly, and with her intelligence, she quickly learned that her parents deliberately waited for their brother to leave before moving.
When the woman saw Chen Yixin's eyes filled with tears, she couldn't help but touch her daughter's head lovingly and said kindly: "Don't be sad, this is something that the man in the Chen family must experience. Let's go to see grandparents, you can also take Xiao Huang with you. Our family will still be reunited in the future. Be happier."
"Grandpa and grandma?!" Chen Yixin was very surprised because she had never heard her parents mention that she had grandma and grandma.
"Okay, girl, what are you going to take?" Chen Jiazhong said.
"I... I'll just take Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang was bought by my brother." Chen Yixin hugged the big yellow dog next to her and said in a sad tone. She couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did her father ask to move immediately as soon as her brother left? Her mind was messy. Compared to other things, she was thinking about this little yellow earth dog, because it represented the brother's care.
