Nowadays, life is difficult for everyone, and housing is tight. Therefore, when a large number of educated youths come back, all kinds of conflicts arise. They are fighting for houses, jobs, and all kinds of things. So there are quarrels almost every day in the recent alleys.
Fighting for their own benefit, even brothers and sisters are useless.
On this day, Huang Ling and Song Ying left home quietly one after another, and then Zhuang Xiaoting also left quietly.
Zhou Chen saw their actions. He knew that they were taking Zhuang Xiaoting to the reopened Songhe Tower for dinner. He had money, so he didn't care about a meal.
However, Lin Dongzhe was keenly aware of their problem, so he followed them all the way, saw them going to Songhe Tower, and then came back to call for help.
"Brother Tunan, Brother Tuxi, my mother and Aunt Huang took Xiaoting to Songhe Tower for a meal alone. Let's go there too."
When Zhuang Tunan heard this, he stood up immediately. Songhe Tower was a long-established hotel and he had heard of it, so he was very interested.
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "You go ahead, I won't go. I'm a little tired. Let's take a nap."
"Brother Tuxi, let's go to a restaurant. It's such a good opportunity, how could you not go?"
Lin Dongzhe was still very loyal and wanted to drag Zhou Chen along, but Zhou Chen really didn't want to go. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up and ran out quickly with Zhuang Tunan.
A few hours later, two adults came back with three children, and things exploded next door. Lin Dongzhe loudly criticized Song Ying's "sin", such as being unloyal and abandoning her husband and son, which made the surrounding neighbors upset.
Know what's going on.
Song Ying's explanations were useless. In the end, she was so angry that she picked up the fly swatter and swatted Lin Dongzhe. Finally, she asked Lin Dongzhe to be honest.
After Huang Ling came back, she walked into the back room immediately and saw Zhou Chen drawing on the album with a paintbrush.
"Tusi, have you eaten?"
"After eating, I made the noodles myself."
"Why didn't you come with me just now?"
"I don't want to run."
Huang Ling touched Zhou Chen's head distressedly and said softly: "Then when you have a holiday next week, mom will take you to eat."
"OK."
…………
Summer has arrived as scheduled, a semester has come to an end, students have also come to the summer vacation, and the college entrance examination is on the right track after two times.
Today, at Zhang Amei's suggestion, the three families of Zhuang Lin and Wu got together for dinner. Two tables were set up in the yard, one for adults and one for children.
Before the meal started, Zhuang Tunan packed two steamed buns and rode his bicycle to play football with his classmates. He also called Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen didn't go.
When Song Ying saw Zhuang Tunan leaving, she said with emotion: "Oh, I'm sweating even if I don't move, but Tunan is still in the mood to go out and play football."
Lin Wufeng laughed and said: "That's what friendship is, it's just a bunch of people going crazy together."
Zhou Chen sat down on the small table, and Zhuang Xiaoting was next to him. This sister was like a little pendant on his body now. As long as Zhou Chen was at home, she would always follow Zhou Chen and she would have to sit together when eating.
Lin Dongzhe shouted: "Brother Tunan has no homework for the fifth grade during the summer vacation. Brother Tuxi, Sister Shanshan, and Sister Xiaomin, do you also have no homework for the summer vacation?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Dongzhe suddenly looked envious, so envious.
Song Ying sat at the table and began to complain about the summer vacation, because when the summer vacation came, Lin Dongzhe went crazy and was difficult to discipline. She had to cook three meals a day, which was really laborious and she had to save money in the end.
She is very angry, so she doesn't like summer vacation.
Lin Wufeng asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, Sister Ling, Tuxi must be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School this year. With his results, there will definitely be no problem in the No. 1 Middle School."
Zhuang Chaoying couldn't hide her pride and said with a smile: "He is preparing to take the No. 1 Middle School entrance exam, but whether he can pass the exam depends on his own performance."
Wu Jianguo immediately shouted: "Teacher Zhuang, what you are saying is that based on Tuxi's grades, if he fails to pass the No. 1 Middle School, others will not be able to pass the exam."
Zhou Chen's grades are well known to the neighbors. He has never finished second in the exam, but is all first, and almost all of them are perfect scores. They are much better than Zhuang Tunan. Zhuang Tunan was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and Zhou Chen
There is no reason why you can't pass the exam.
Zhuang Chaoying laughed twice and then asked: "Old Wu, what about your family? Shanshan and Xiao Min are also taking the junior high school entrance examination this year. What do you think, should you stay in your own school or go to the urban junior high school?"
Zhang Amei rushed to answer: "They don't have as good grades as Tusi, so they stay in school and go to the attached middle school. It's close to home and they have many good friends in the school. In the future, they will try to get into a good technical secondary school. Didn't it say that in the news?
, postal service, electricity, and teaching were all popular professions in the 1980s, and they were very popular."
After hearing these words, Zhang Min didn't care at all and ate the steamed buns.
Wu Shanshan, on the other hand, lowered her head silently and looked downcast. She was different from Zhang Min. She had good grades and wanted to pass the No. 1 high school exam. But now it was Zhang Amei who made the decision at home. Wu Jianguo listened to Zhang Amei and would not ask her at all.
opinions, so she knew that even if she said she wanted to pass the No. 1 High School exam, they would not agree.
The first high school entrance exam is just the beginning. If she passes the exam, she will need to go to school in the city every day, either by car or bicycle, and there are various other expenses.
She knew very well that no matter which one it was, Zhang Amei could not agree to it, so no matter how unwilling she was, she could only succumb to such a living environment. She had no status at all in this family.
Zhou Chen on the side saw her depression, took a bun and put it in her hand. Wu Shanshan raised her head, looked at Zhou Chen, and said with red eyes: "Thank you."
"Eat."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything. This was someone else's family matter and he, an outsider, couldn't control it.
