In the end, it was Huang Ling who couldn't help but muttered that she was originally working in the early morning shift today, but in order to know her son's results as soon as possible, she specially changed her shift and waited at home.
Zhuang Chaoying took a look at the watch. This watch was bought for him by Zhuang Xiaoting with the royalties she earned from publishing her essays. Although it was not a famous brand, he liked it very much. His youngest son bought Huang Ling shoes, clothes and gloves, but never bought them for him.
However, it’s better for my daughter to remember to buy him things and be filial.
"They have been going for two hours. One round trip is enough for the distance. They must have been delayed while looking at the results at school."
Huang Ling was worried: "I don't know how Tunan and Tuxi did in the exam and whether they passed the exam."
Zhuang Chaoying thought for a while and said: "I'm not very worried about Tuxi. As long as he performs normally, he will be fine in Qingbei. Even if he goes a little abnormally, it shouldn't be a big problem in Fudan. But with his temperament, even the college entrance examination shouldn't be a big problem."
It will go crazy."
Even though he is very dissatisfied with his youngest son's behavior, as an experienced person who has been engaged in education for many years, he still knows Zhou Chen's advantages very well. Just like Lin Wufeng said, others may have pressure in the college entrance examination, but Zhou Chen will never have it.
.
"What I'm really worried about is Tunan. Although he has checked his answers with Tusi, it is only an estimate after all, and we don't know the specific scores of the Tongji Department of Architecture. If he is not admitted to his first choice, it will be a big problem.
"
If the textbooks do not change next year, you can still repeat one year and then take the college entrance examination. But the problem is that now it is a three-year high school system, the textbooks have changed, and repeating the studies is no longer practical.
When Zhuang Chaoying said this, Huang Ling became even more worried.
"Tu Nan has been studying so hard these days, forgetting sleep and eating, and working so hard. I believe he will be fine. If he waits, he will definitely bring back good news."
After a while, when the two of them were anxious and uneasy, they finally heard the sound of a bicycle. They looked at the door of the courtyard in the same movement, and saw Zhuang Tunan pushing the bicycle in first, followed closely by Zhou Chen and Zhuang Xiaoting.
Enter the hospital.
The excited two people stood up at the same time, but neither of them spoke. The expressions on their faces said everything. Huang Ling gently opened the door for the children.
"Brother Tunan, Brother Tuxi, you are back. You must have passed the exam."
Zhuang Tunan walked into the room first. He originally wanted to pretend to be serious, but Zhou Chen went directly into the room and sat down. Zhuang Xiaoting smiled and nodded excitedly.
"I passed the exam. My eldest brother and my second brother both passed the exam."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying were both excited. Zhuang Chaoying was all smiles, and Huang Ling was dancing and saying incoherently: "I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I passed the exam, Chaoying, that's great, all of them."
Passed the exam."
Even though I was sure before, it has not been settled yet. Now that it is confirmed, the feeling cannot be expressed in words.
Zhuang Chaoying was also excited to greet Zhuang Tunan and Zhou Chen. There was no gap at this time, only happiness and excitement.
Huang Ling looked for money everywhere and wanted to buy something, but Lin Dongzhe said loudly that their family had bought everything, including beer, watermelon, soda, and celebration items, and then called Zhuang Xiaoting to get it together.
After a while, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting brought everything over, including watermelon, soda, and beer.
"Come on, come on, let's do this. Congratulate Tunan and Tusi on getting admitted to the university of their choice."
The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, and Zhou Chen is also very gregarious and cheers with everyone.
Zhuang Xiaoting talked about what happened when she was looking at the results in school.
"Mom, my eldest brother's score exceeded Fudan's cutoff by four points, and his teacher kept saying regretfully that it would be great if he could retaliate against Fudan."
Zhuang Tunan said modestly: "I have no regrets about getting admitted to Tongji University."
Compared to Fudan, he really wanted to go to Tongji Department of Architecture. On the one hand, he was not absolutely sure before, and partly because Zhou Chen repaid Fudan. To be honest, he really didn't want to be in the same school as Zhou Chen.
In a school.
After finally getting through junior high school and high school, he didn't want to go to college and be compared with Zhou Chen, so he was admitted to Tongji University. He really had no regrets at all, only strong happiness.
Zhuang Xiaoting talked about Zhou Chen excitedly again.
"Mom, Dad, you don't know that my second brother's class teacher, Teacher Han, said that my second brother got the top score in the province in science this time. It's a pity that my second brother didn't apply for Qingbei."
"Really?"
Huang Ling was surprised. She knew that her youngest son had good grades, but she never expected that he would be the top scorer in the province.
Zhuang Chaoying's expression became even more complicated, and she couldn't help complaining again.
"I told you a long time ago that I asked you to apply for Qingbei. You are a very stubborn kid. The capital is far away, but Qingbei's reputation is bigger than Fudan."
Zhou Chen took a bite of watermelon and said in a relaxed tone: "Money can't buy it. I am happy. I no longer need to rely on the school's reputation to prove myself."
Seeing Zhou Chen's attitude, Zhuang Chaoying was dissatisfied again: "Look how proud you are."
Huang Ling waved her hand: "Okay, Fudan is also very good. Anyway, I'm very satisfied. What's more, Tunan and Tuxi are both in Shanghai, close to home. They can discuss with each other about anything. It's good.
"
Zhuang Chaoying was slightly dissatisfied, but in the end he was more happy, so he stopped mentioning it.
Zhuang Xiaoting was particularly lively today and talked about interesting things she encountered in school.
Zhuang Tunan said: "I have several classmates from the countryside who rode dozens of miles in the morning, or took a boat to school to check their results. Those who passed the exam rode back happily, but they didn't pass the exam.
They just squatted on the ground, and none of us knew how to comfort them or whether they had the energy to ride back again."
Because he passed the exam, he feels extremely relaxed now and is no longer as tense as he was some time ago.
After Huang Ling saw it, she was completely relieved, and together with Zhuang Chaoying, they shouted that the two families would have a good celebration in the evening.
Lin Dongzhe also happily invited Zhuang Tunan to go out to play together. Some time ago, he did not dare to disturb Zhuang Tunan at all, but fortunately there was Zhou Chen who could play with him.
Just at this happy moment, someone from Li Yiming's small shop shouted: "Zhuang Tunan, phone number."
A few minutes later, Zhuang Tunan, who went to answer the phone, and Zhuang Chaoying, who went to buy rice wine, both entered the room dejectedly, losing all the happiness they had just now.
Huang Ling saw that the two of them had gone out happily just now, but when they came back a few minutes later, they were completely different.
"What's wrong, Tunan, Chaoying?"
As soon as he finished asking, Zhuang Tunan started wiping away tears, and it was Zhuang Chaoying who told him the reason.
Please collect the book!
"The teacher from No. 1 Middle School said that Tunan's physical examination results before the college entrance examination showed that he has slight color weakness."
Seeing Zhuang Tunan wiping away tears, Huang Ling felt heartbroken. Zhuang Chaoying was also anxious. She immediately rode to the ophthalmology department of the factory hospital to look for a color blindness test card and prepared to take it back to Zhuang Tunan for testing.
After taking the color blindness test card home, Zhuang Tunan started to test it. The result made him despair, because after the test, he actually had a problem.
The anxious Zhuang Chaoying immediately thought of taking Zhuang Tunan to Shanghai and go directly to the school to inquire about the situation.
Zhou Chen knew what was going on, and also knew that it would be better for them not to go, because even if Zhuang Tunan was slightly sexually weak, he would still be admitted to the Department of Architecture.
"I think the matter may not be that serious. Why not call the Tongji Admissions Office first to ask about the situation? Maybe slight color weakness will not affect admission to the Department of Architecture."
Zhuang Tunan was panicking now and had no idea at all, but Zhuang Chaoying was still calm.
"No, this is too passive. It's safest to go there in person."
Seeing that Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Tunan were firm, Zhou Chen didn't stop them any more. He just wanted to go to Shanghai.
After Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Tunan had lunch, they packed their things and went straight to the train station.
Huang Ling stayed at home, feeling uncomfortable and distracted. Although Zhou Chen and Zhuang Xiaoting comforted her, she was not much better because of her heavy thoughts.
"Mom, you really don't have to worry, I don't think it's a big problem."
Huang Ling held Zhou Chen's hand guiltily and said, "Tuxi, I promised to celebrate you, but now it's like this. Mom can't forgive you."
Zhou Chen comforted him: "Mom, we are a family. There is no need to talk about this. You really don't have to worry too much and don't make things too complicated."
It's just that from God's perspective, he thinks this is not a problem, but in Huang Ling's case, it is a big problem. Both sons have passed the exam, but if one of them has a problem, she will not be happy.
Song Ying also came to comfort Huang Ling after get off work, but Huang Ling, who was trapped in internal conflict, even Zhou Chen's persuasion was useless, and Song Ying's comfort naturally had little effect.
Zhou Chen persuaded Huang Ling not to go to work the next day, but she still went to work on time the next morning. However, with Zhou Chen at home, she didn't have to worry about her family.
Lunch was cooked by Zhou Chen, and together with Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe, the three of them sat together to have lunch, but neither Zhuang Xiaoting nor Lin Dongzhe were in high spirits.
"Second brother, can the eldest brother really still go to Tongji Architecture Department?"
"Yes, Brother Tuxi, this is the first time I know that Brother Tunan is sexually weak. Is it true that colorblindness can't go to the architecture department?"
Zhou Chen gave an affirmative answer: "Color-deficient people can go to the Department of Architecture, not to mention only mild color-deficiency. However, the specifics will depend on the school's policy, but I don't think the problem is big, so don't worry about it."
Huang Ling, who came back from get off work in the afternoon, was still in a daze. It wasn't until Zhuang Chaoying, who was about to come back from Shanghai, made a phone call in advance and said that Zhuang Tunan had been admitted to the Tongji Department of Architecture that she cried with joy and was completely relieved, and then she collapsed exhausted. Got on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Tunan came back, Huang Ling took charge, and the Zhuang and Lin families had a good celebration in the evening.
"Tunan, Tusi, congratulations on getting admitted to university. You have achieved your wish."
Lin Wufeng raised his wine glass and congratulated the two of them solemnly.
"Get ready for the wonderful life of college."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Song Ying also happily clinked glasses with Zhou Chen and Zhuang Tunan, congratulating them both.
