Shamao Alley is lively in the early morning, and it is even more lively today. Strangers come and go in Shamao Alley, and among them there are many reporters carrying cameras.
An aunt who had just been interviewed by a reporter started chatting with the neighbors passing by.
"The old Zhou family has really become famous this time. If our son is half as good as their boy, then I will really die with no regrets."
"Come on, this is the number one pick in the country. There are only two in a year. Anyone can do it?"
"It's really unexpected that a small place like our Shamao Lane can produce top scorers in the college entrance examination."
"That boy from the old Zhou family, I have long noticed that he is different. If a real literary star comes to earth, how can he be the same?"
…………
The reason why Shamao Alley is so lively today is because the college entrance examination results have come out. Shamao Alley has a national college entrance examination champion, so of course it will be lively.
The day after the results came out, Shamao Alley became a sensation. In addition to visiting reporters, teachers and leaders from many schools, as well as leaders from the district and city came to visit.
The school, district and city all gave Zhou Chen awards, which totaled five thousand yuan.
In this era, what is the concept of five thousand yuan? Many people work for several years and do not eat or drink to earn this money.
Zhou Chen's family of three finally managed to cope with the visiting people. Zhou Chen didn't care, but Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang were crazy with excitement.
As parents, the biggest wish is for their children to become successful. Now that Zhou Chen is so outstanding, they are naturally very happy.
"Lao Zhou, Xiao Chen has won face for us, we must organize a good reception for this banquet."
In this world, few people can escape from Vanity Fair. Although Han Huifang is just an ordinary housewife, she is also good-looking.
Now that my son has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, such a big event naturally requires a big deal, and I can't wait to let all my relatives and friends know the good news.
"No problem, I'll start organizing it now, and then I'll choose a good day to organize a big event."
Zhou Jianguo naturally had no objection.
Zhou Chen understands his parents' thoughts very well. If his child has a promising future, of course he should celebrate it. If it were him, he would definitely do the same.
After discussing the banquet for college entrance, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang began to care about Zhou Chen's choice of school.
"Xiaochen, have you decided which university to go to? Beijing University or Beijing University?"
In their view, since their son is the top scorer in the college entrance examination, choosing this university is not random. Even if it is the best university in the country, there will definitely be no problem.
Faced with the problem of his parents, Zhou Chen said: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to these two universities, nor do I want to leave Jinling or you."
Zhou Jianguo thought thoughtfully: "So you want to go to Jinling University? That's okay. Although Jinling University is not as good as the two universities in the capital, it is also one of the best universities. It is also close to home. You can come back anytime you want."
Han Huifang also nodded in agreement. Although she wanted her son to go to the best university and receive the best education, deep down in her heart, she still wanted her son to stay with her.
A mother who has lost a child naturally wants her child by her side the most.
"No, I'm going to Jinling Medical College."
"Medical school?"
Zhou Chen's answer made Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang look shocked. They could accept it from Jinling University, but they really couldn't accept it from Jinling Medical College.
"Xiaochen, why do you want to go to medical school? This school is much worse than Jinling University."
"Dad, Mom, I want to study medicine."
Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang looked at each other, and then Zhou Jianguo said: "Xiao Chen, even if you want to study medicine, there is no need to go to Jinling Medical College. You can go to the medical school in the capital. The conditions there should be better."
Zhou Chen: "Mom and Dad, I don't want to go to the capital, I just want to stay with you in Jinling. Although the medical school in the capital is better, I believe that my learning ability, even in Jinling, will never be worse than in the capital.
"
In a world where the spring breeze is not as good as yours, he has studied in the best medical school in the country, and there is no need to go there again.
"Can……"
"Dad, I have made my decision. Just believe me. I will never let you down."
Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Zhou Chen's choice. Their son was willing to stay in Jinling to accompany them. What else could they say.
Zhou Chen finally got his wish and applied for Jinling Medical College.
When the news came out, it caused quite a stir in Jinling. The top scorer in the college entrance examination did not choose the best university in the country. Instead, he chose Jinling Medical College. This was something no one expected.
Even the leaders of Jinling Medical College were dumbfounded after learning the news.
Although they feel that their school is very good, they also know that there is still a big gap between their school and the top universities in the country.
As a result, Zhou Chen, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, chose their medical school instead of going to Beijing University or Beijing University. He was shocked and overjoyed at the same time.
Because Zhou Chen's choice was undoubtedly a very loud advertisement for their medical school.
In addition, Zhou Chen's ability to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination shows that he is very smart. Such outstanding talents are naturally wanted by all schools.
But after all, he was just the top scorer in the college entrance examination. After a lot of uproar and commotion, he was quickly forgotten by people, and TV stations and newspapers stopped reporting on it.
On the same city wall, Zhou Chen, Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin gathered together again.
"I heard you say last year that you wanted to study medicine, but I didn't expect you to actually study medicine. But why didn't you choose a medical school in the capital and insist on choosing a medical school in Jinling?"
Qi Weimin was only surprised that Zhou Chen became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, because he knew that Zhou Chen had this ability.
It’s just that he couldn’t understand Zhou Chen’s application for Jinling Medical College. He felt that with Zhou Chen’s grades, he could get into a better one, and even if he worked hard, he would have the opportunity to study abroad. Why did he choose Jinling Medical College, which was not a top school?
hospital.
Instead, Qiao Yicheng said: "Zhou Chen, you don't want to be too far away from home, right?"
"There is a reason for this." Zhou Chen nodded.
Qi Weimin said: "I know what you mean, but I still feel that your choice is not the best, but it's okay. We all stay in the province, and it will be very convenient if we want to get together in the future."
"That's right."
Zhou Chen asked them: "You two have gone to college for one year, what do you think?"
Qi Weimin said: "I feel pretty good. It's much more comfortable than going to high school. I also have more time. I can go home and visit often."
Qiao Yicheng: "I feel pretty good too. Moreover, our normal school does not require tuition fees, and sometimes we can also work-study. It is much more fulfilling than in high school."
The reason why he went to Normal University in the first place was because there was no tuition fee at Normal University, and he could also work part-time jobs after going to university, which made him much more comfortable and relaxed than before when he was at home waiting for money from his father.
"By the way, Zhou Chen, I heard that you gave Sanli your junior high school notes. Sanli's academic performance has improved a lot in the past year. It shouldn't be a problem to get into high school."
Zhou Chen said: "I heard Sanli say before that your father doesn't want her to go to high school. He wants her to study technology and go to a technical school?"
Qiao Yicheng snorted coldly: "He was reluctant to pay the tuition and wanted Sanli to work early."
Zhou Chen said tentatively: "If your father doesn't want to pay for the tuition, I can help. No matter it is work or other things in the future, academic qualifications are really important. Once you go to high school, you will have the opportunity to be admitted to university. And if you go to a technical school
, I will be a worker from now on; I am not saying that workers are not good, but in the future, many jobs may be better than workers."
Today's workers naturally have a guaranteed job, but he knows that this situation will not last long.
Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin both went to college for one year. They were exposed to society and both understood what Zhou Chen meant.
Qiao Yicheng said: "Thank you, Zhou Chen, but Sanli is my sister, I will try my best to help her."
Qi Weimin teased Zhou Chen: "I say Zhou Chen, you are so considerate of Sanli, do you have any thoughts about her?"
Qiao Yicheng glared at Qi Weimin fiercely and cursed: "Qi Weimin, shut up, Sanli is still young."
Indeed, Qiao Sanli was only thirteen years old. In his eyes, she was just a child.
…………
"Sanli, these are the high school notes I prepared for you. You should study them carefully."
Zhou Chen gave a package of books to Qiao Sanli.
Qiao Sanli was admitted to high school. Although her father did not want her to go to high school, she had the support of her elder brother Qiao Yicheng, and she finally went to high school as she wished.
But Qiao Zuwang has spoken. He will only provide living expenses, other tuition fees, book fees, etc., and let the brothers and sisters find their own solutions. He will not pay a penny.
Qiao Sanli happily took the schoolbag. She was already over fifteen years old and a big girl. If another boy was so nice to her, she would definitely be repelled, but she would not refuse Zhou Chen's kindness.
Ever since Zhou Chen rescued her, she had a different feeling for Zhou Chen in her heart. Even after several years, this feeling has not faded, but has become deeper.
This was also the reason why she never rejected Zhou Chen's kindness to her, but she buried this emotion in her heart and did not dare to express it easily.
Because Zhou Chen is so outstanding, and she is just an ordinary girl, and her family is still a mess, she feels that she is not worthy of Zhou Chen.
"Are your tuition fees and living expenses sufficient? If not, I have them here, so just treat them as if I lent them to you."
