Chapter 98 Sprint
“I have really become a writer.” Fang Wenyu couldn’t laugh or cry: “Wen Qing’s disease is here!”
“There is nothing wrong with being a literary youth, the problem is pretending to be a literary youth, then It's just pretentious , falsehood, and these two things are exactly what we are most opposed to in literary creation, and they are far more opposed than you. "
"It's just that outsiders can't tell the difference between true and false, so they just generalize." Zhou Zhi. explain Said: "For example, Xueshan, I thought she was pretending before, but after I really got to know her, I realized that she has always been real. That doesn't mean she is sick. It can only mean that others don't understand her."
< br>"I'm leaning on my elbows! You're stuck!" Fang Wenyu was really frightened now: "When you encountered this kind of situation before, you either laughed it off or retorted, why are you seriously breaking up with me now? Bullshit!”
"Anyway, this trip is very important to me, please. Especially Yan Xiao, you and Yongmei have to kill him."
"Don't worry." Fang Wenyu also became serious: " I really didn’t expect it to be like this. I’m sorry for what I just said.”
“Two brothers in one generation, it’s boring to say this. By the way, your wish to go out will probably come soon. will come true , the premise is...to pass this final exam”
“So many people came to the school today, and I heard that they called you. Do you know anything?”
"Yeah, but I can't say it now because I'm asked to keep it confidential. But I can tell you that your dream can be directly linked to your final exam results this semester, and it will be fulfilled soon."
"I will reveal the answer to you as soon as the results come in."
"Okay! Elbow, thank you for telling me this!"
......
...
On Friday night, when Zhou Zhi returned to the entrance of the Sugar and Wine Company, he saw a maroon Santana parked on the street.
That was Zhu Dazhang and Xiaoliujie's car. They came back, and there was a domestic pickup truck parked behind them.
When I arrived at the dormitory, sure enough, the door on the first floor was open and the light was on.
Liu Er and a group of people were busy packing. Zhou Zhi called out "Second Brother". Liu Er looked up and said, "They are all up there at your house!"
"You guys pack up. Be careful when handling vinyl records, those are the old man's treasures." After Zhou Zhi told him, he hurried upstairs and saw Mr. Yu, Little Sixth Sister, Zhu Dazhang, and Third Brother Yu all there.
There was laughter and joy in the house. Grandma was holding the little sixth sister who was already pregnant and was reluctant to let go. The old man felt that the unborn child was a treasure and he kept teaching her how to take care of it.
The sixth sister's face is also plumper, and she is a bit more dignified than before. She is wearing a loose white skirt with a loose ponytail at the back. After removing the makeup, it is really a ghost. The pregnant woman looks innocent.
"Mr. Yu! Third brother, brother Dazhang, and little sixth sister!" Zhou Zhi greeted one by one: "Grandma, I'm back!"
"Your little sixth sister is pregnant!" Grandma announced to Zhou Zhi in surprise.
"Grandma, I already knew this!" Sister Xiao Liu said with a smile.
“I haven’t seen you Sange Yu for a long time. I didn’t even see you at Miss Sixth Sister’s wedding last time.”
"It's too far to come back." Brother Yu San must be the old man Yu when he was young. Even if this family wears an ordinary shirt, they look more refined than outsiders. Zhou Zhi has never seen Mr. Yu and Yu San. Brother wears short clothes: "After returning from Yunnan, I went to Guangzhou again to inspect the film industry there. Building.”
“Are you going to open a photo studio?”
“When I inspected the photo studio, I found that the cosmetics market there is good.”
"Stop talking about that, elbow, go to your room." Mr. Yu said.
Mr. Yu's spirit is completely different from before. He still has a pair of silk shirts, but he has a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, which makes him more elegant: "This time I came back mainly to bring Xiaoliu back to save money. Save your neighbors, look at everyone, and say goodbye to everyone.”
"I will live in Manzhou from now on. Of course, I will definitely come back to visit occasionally."
"Sir, are you living with Miss Liu?"
"I don't want to live with them. Together, I live in Tobacco Park On the top floor, the rooftop is perfect for growing flowers.”
“Oh, are your legs and feet convenient?”
“That’s no problem, but I’m afraid the orchids won’t be able to absorb the dew. Let’s try it first. ”
Mr. Yu opened a box: "Elbow, thanks to your kindness, I have lived up to your Aunt Yu's instructions. These things are just a thought, you keep them."
"This is too precious, Mr. Yu." This can’t be done!”
“Everything is valuable. Gadgets, do you think the three people playing with watches and cameras outside will be able to keep these after I die? I don’t know which one is cheaper!”
That’s not unreasonable. The three outsiders all like to play "foreign style". If you say these things are good, they still think they are tacky.
"Thank you, old man." Then Zhou Zhi stopped being pretentious.
"Then let's go down. We've been clamoring for your third sister to review for a long time. I'll invite you back for a drink tomorrow. You want to come."
"That's right, even if the old man doesn't tell me, I can't miss it."
Mr. Yu smiled and patted Zhou again. Zhi's arm: "Good boy. The wedding was well hosted that day."
The hug between the sixth sister and her father at that wedding completely untied the knot between father and daughter and smoothed over the years of tension. When it comes to grievances and entanglements, Zhou Zhi has done the most good.
But Mr. Yu has always regarded Zhou Zhi as his old friend, so this is already the biggest verbal expression. The sixth sister is now married, and the unbridled laughter and play between the two siblings will no longer be possible again, but the relationship will only become deeper: "Elbow, I heard that you are capable again? Let's go now. A national publication? ”
"That's just a fluke, sister, don't say that."
"You can do it!" Sister Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Many people in Manzhou are asking about you. "
"What are you asking about me?"
"Where did I hire the wedding host?"
Xiao Liujie giggled, her tone full of pride: "I said he is my brother, a great talent, you can't even invite him!"
"Sister, this is not appropriate for you, as long as the price is It’s not like you can’t take on jobs if you drive it brightly.”
“Hahahaha...” Sister Xiaoli was so happy that her pregnancy seemed to have made her smile less.
Following that, Zhou Zhi was slapped by his mother: "Don't make your little sixth sister laugh! Be careful of fetal gas!"
This suddenly reminded Zhou Zhi of the first time The first time I went to Sister Xiaoliu's house, Sister Xiaoliu also brought malted milk and accused Zhu Dazhang and told him not to make Zhou Zhi laugh, so as not to hurt the wound. The scene was filled with warmth for a while.
"Then let's go down. If you have time, come to Manzhou and let your brother Zhu teach you how to drive."
Zhou Zhi thought to himself that this person who doesn't even know how to wear a seat belt has the nerve to teach me when he gets in the car, but he said: "That's great. I was just looking for an opportunity to mention this to Brother Zhu."
Zhu Dazhang smiled. : "We have bought this car now. It is convenient to pick you up and drop off your little sister. You can come and go whenever you want."
"That's okay, Brother Zhu! Is there a car family here?!"
Zhu Dazhang was humble: "Thanks to your idea, I made a small profit."
"Let's go, let's get down. I've been up for a long time and still can't move my legs." Seeing that one more night of chatting like this wouldn't be enough, Mr. Yu walked out of the door first.
The return banquet on the second day was held at the county guest house. It was a top-notch banquet. It was the first time since Zhou Zhi was reborn that he ate grilled sea cucumber and squid.
Only when I got home did I begin to examine the treasures that Mr. Yu gave me, including Nanhong Chao beads, jade snuff bottles, and Hetian jade-carved quills.
Hehe Erxian and Qilin gave birth to a white jade waist medal, and the old man did not intend to leave it to his grandson. In addition, there are a few mottled bamboo fans from the famous Qing Dynasty artists Wang Wuyi and Zhou Ding, as well as several large Yongqian pieces. Open-door porcelain, mainly bowls, nest plates and the like.
There are also three small coral-topped teeth, horns, and patent leather jars, equipped with small gold spoons and small gold needles.
This thing is called a cigarette paste jar. It was used by heavy smokers before liberation and was standard among dandy men.
Everything is of high quality and in perfect condition. Zhou Zhi carefully pulled out the box under the bed and opened it. He opened the lids of two lotus leaf lid jars and put everything in.
It doesn’t matter what it is, this box contains hundreds of millions of things after more than 20 years.
Next, the family began to prepare for war, and my mother began to take over the power of purchasing food. Although my father only cooked it when he came home or made it all the time on weekends, he had to ensure that the nutrition was balanced and the taste was good.
Because the third sister will take the college entrance examination soon, everyone is trying their best to encourage her.
Zhou Zhi himself also has to start sprinting. Now he is supplementing physics, chemistry and biology, because the first year of high school is still a general test, and the results determine the study tour places in Sichuan No. 4 Middle School and No. 7 Middle School.
Although he is the "discoverer" of mind maps, Zhou Zhi can succeed even if he does poorly in the exam, but Principal Zhao must not look good.
You don’t need to be very good in the three subjects of physics, chemistry and biology. As long as you get the basic points you should get, Zhou Zhi’s overall score will be among the best in the grade.
The performance of the quartet in the liberal arts class has improved significantly. Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi are working hard to get good results and support Zhou Zhi in front of their parents.
Although this may sound weird, it is actually the truth.
Compared with most students in the grade, the review time of the four-person group is half a month earlier. Similarly, these people also include Fang Wenyu, Li Qiang, He Yongmei, Wei Fei, and Yang He.
On July 7th, the college entrance examination began.
The third sister has indeed tried her best, and those who see her can only feel sorry for her, but not blame her.
But I did not do well in the exam. What is even more tragic is that in 1991, the admission rate was the lowest since 1983!
2.96 million people across the country took the college entrance examination, but only 620,000 were admitted, with an admission rate of less than 21%!
As soon as the scores came out, my mother started busy running for jobs. There was no hope of continuing her studies, but she had to have a job!
The other way is to continue to repeat the studies. According to Zhou Zhi, the third sister is allowed to repeat the studies for another year. The third sister's grades are on the edge of the college line, so she can continue to try her luck.
However, it happened that Wutong had repaired a hydropower station and was in urgent need of people. As long as they had a high school degree, they could take the exam and receive training.
Wutong is close to the third sister’s house, and the hydropower station’s salary is decent. It’s equivalent to being in the countryside but getting the salary of a city worker. Now I’m in a dilemma.
In the end, the fifth uncle decided to let the third sister work first. The employment situation will become more and more severe in the future. If he repeats one year and fails to get into a good university, he will not have the good opportunity to work like now. Even if he takes the exam It’s hard to say what it will look like after three years.
And in the future, you can also get a junior college or even undergraduate diploma through correspondence courses at work.
It’s better to go to work first!
