The Chen family sighed in their hearts, but still smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Well, come on, I'm waiting for you to eat." After saying that, they walked inside. After knowing that their son was living a hard life outside, the Chen family
Suddenly I felt a little afraid to face my son.
The young man glanced 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 before and said, "Just come back, Yixin, go and shake the water for your brother to wash his hands and get ready for dinner." After that, she also walked into the house.
The young man raised his head again and looked at his mother worriedly, and then at his sister who was dragging him towards the well with a happy face. There was a look of pain in his eyes, and he sighed involuntarily.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Chen Yixin was shaking water in the well when she noticed that her brother was washing his hands absentmindedly.
"Uh, it's nothing." The young man hurriedly rubbed his hands a few times, shook them off, then got up and walked towards the house. "Hey, brother, wait for me." Chen Yixin shouted dissatisfied, still bleeding while busy.
The water faucet washed his hands, then quickly followed the young man, holding the young man's arm again, and walked towards the house.
At the dining table, the young man lowered his head and slowly picked up the rice. He didn't bother to pick up the dishes. The dishes in his hands were all brought to him by his mother and sister. The Chen family didn't say anything as they drank wine slowly, only occasionally glancing at the guests.
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 that the young man's body suddenly trembled. Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Is it possible?
He didn’t get his diploma?”
The Chen family coughed dryly and said loudly: "Yes, show me your diploma."
The boy with his head lowered hesitated for a moment, then put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a diploma from his pocket, held it in both hands and handed it over.
After the Chen family took it, they opened it and looked at it. The mother and daughter sitting on both sides also came over curiously. When everyone saw the font of "Graduation with Excellent Results", they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then they all looked at the young man suspiciously, because they couldn't figure it out.
Do you understand why teenagers are so nervous?
The younger sister was still clever, so she hurriedly asked: "Brother, which high school did you go to? Was it a direct admission?" When the young man heard this, he lowered his head, shook his head, and whispered: "I... I don't want to study.
High school."
The Chen family's eyebrows jumped and they asked in a majestic tone: "What's your high school score?" Everyone thought that the boy was like this because he didn't do well in the exam. Of course, everyone looked disbelieving, because the boy
I usually get 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, where are you ranked in the school?" But as soon as she said this, Chen Yixin couldn't help but stick out her small tongue. Seeing her brother's frustrated look, she knew she had asked the wrong question.
"No. 1..." Hearing the boy say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the boy was like this because he didn't get a good ranking in the city.
"Brother is so awesome. He is number one in the school. That's right. Brother, where are you ranked in the city?" My sister blinked and asked with a feigned joy.
"Uh..." The young man still lowered his head and hesitated before saying in a low voice: "First place."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. My sister woke up and asked quickly: "What about the province?"
The young man's voice became even lower: "He is also the first..." At this time, everyone stared at the young man with big eyes in surprise.
The Chen family's eyes widened and he was about to say something when the beautiful woman touched him lightly and winked. The Chen family immediately understood why their son was unwilling to go to high school. He must have thought that the family's financial situation was very difficult.
In order to reduce the burden on my family, I am planning to stop studying.
The Chen family looked at the ceiling and sighed, ancestors, are you leaving such a family motto inappropriate for the times? Now such outstanding descendants are actually ready to give up their studies to worry about the family's financial problems.
The Chen family took a breath and stood up, motioning for his daughter to change seats with him. After he sat down next to the young man, he happily patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Son, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry about money.
"You know, those fruit farms and fish ponds are all contracted by your father and me..." The Chen family told their son what they told their daughter, and Chen Yixin also echoed. As for the beautiful woman, she kept looking at her with a smile.
's family.
The young man raised his head after hearing his father's words, but there was still concern in his expression. He stuttered a little and said, "But Dad, I was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Nanda University." He took out a notice from his pocket again.
"The High School Affiliated to Nanda?!" The father and daughter exclaimed in unison, and the mother also looked surprised.
After the Chen family took the notice and read it, they slapped the boy on the shoulder hard, raised his head and laughed loudly: "As expected of his son, the High School Affiliated to Nanda is one of the key middle schools in the country. Don't worry about anything, you
Just concentrate on studying and then go straight to NTU. Hahaha."
Chen Yixin hugged the boy and said happily: "Wow, brother is so awesome, Nanda...oh, the high school affiliated to Nanda." The mother also looked at her son with a smile on her face. In China, no matter who you ask, even if you are
Illiterate people will also tell you that NTU is the highest institution of higher learning in the country and a temple for students. NTU Affiliated High School is also the easiest middle school for students to get admitted to NTU because many professors from NTU will serve as teachers of NTU Affiliated High School.
Lecturer. Therefore, the teaching staff of this middle school cannot be matched by other middle schools.
The young man said anxiously: "But, the tuition there... I should go to an ordinary middle school, right?" The young man's worry is not unnecessary, because it is a key middle school in the country, or a key among the key, and their tuition is the same as that of other middle schools.
Several times.
The Chen family shouted loudly: "No!" At this point, the Chen family said softly: "Son, the High School Affiliated to Nanda is different from other key middle schools. The lectures there are taught by university professors. That kind of knowledge cannot be bought with money, so
You must go to the High School Affiliated to Nanda University! I still have the money!"
"But..." the young man still said worriedly, but his father immediately interrupted: "There is nothing but, if you don't read it, I will break your legs!"
The young man shuddered, lowered his head and whispered yes. Chen Jia patted the young man on the shoulder again and said loudly: "Come, I am very happy today, let me have a drink with you..." Before he could finish his words,
My wife gave me a fierce glare and she was so frightened that I quickly changed my words: "Uh...eat, eat."
Throughout the next summer vacation, although the boy still didn't speak much, he helped his family more diligently. Maybe he expected to help the family. A month later, the Chen family left the village to see the boy off. Looking at the boy
After carrying simple luggage and getting on the long-distance bus, the Chen family sighed. The beautiful woman and Chen Yixin both looked at the car leaving with tears in their eyes. The High School Affiliated to Nanda is thousands of kilometers away from here, and now the boy is taking a bus to the provincial capital, and then
You still have to take the train for several days. Although you can take a plane, it is impossible for ordinary students, let alone a young man from this mountain village.
Chen Yixin returned home with her parents and sat blankly at the door. She was happy for her brother, but sad that she could only see him once in one semester. She didn't know how long it had passed before a voice woke her up: "Yixin.
"
She looked back and found that her father and mother were standing behind her, while her mother was carrying a small package. She couldn't help but asked strangely: "Mom, where are you and dad going?"
Mom smiled: "We are moving."
"Moving?" Chen Yixin stood up in surprise.
"Girl, I have something to tell you later. If you have anything to take away now, go and get it, but you won't need clothes and other things." Chen Jia 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 as soon as her brother went to study abroad. But she did not dare to ask directly, so she had to ask this way.
"Your brother has grown up and started a career of training. Haha, I didn't expect that we wanted to keep him by our side for a longer time. God can't wait to train him." When Chen Jia said this, he looked at his wife and smiled bitterly.
The woman looked at the Chen family with a smile and said, "You didn't go out alone at this age back then. Your son is now 16 years old. It's time to go out."
Chen Yixin listened blankly. With her cleverness, she quickly understood that her parents deliberately waited for her brother to leave before moving.
Seeing Chen Yixin's eyes full of tears, the woman couldn't help touching her daughter's head lovingly, and said kindly: "Don't be sad, this is something that men in the Chen family must experience. Let's go see the grandparents. You can also bring
I'm going with Xiao Huang, our family will still be reunited in the future, so be happy."
"Grandparents?!" Chen Yixin was very surprised because she had never heard her parents mention that she had grandparents.
"Okay, girl, what do you want to bring?" Chen Jia said.
"I... I can just take Xiao Huang with me. Xiao Huang was bought for me by my brother." Chen Yixin hugged the big yellow dog beside her and said in a sad tone. She had no idea what was going on.
Why did my father ask to move immediately as soon as my brother left? My whole mind was in a mess. Compared with other things, I was thinking about this little yellow dog because it represented my brother's care.
The couple looked at each other with a wry smile, and the Chen family nodded: "Okay, let's go." So the three of them and one dog left Ziyin Village, and no one knew where they moved.
