By the time Chen Zhou arrived home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

The uncle's family came to the house, because Chen Zhou didn't call in advance.

So when he entered the house, the house was eating lively.

"Hey, Xiaozhou, why are you back?" The first person to see Chen Zhou was his mother Zhang Hongying.

"I had three days off during Golden Week, and I came back without studying late today. Chen Zhou explained, put down the things, consciously went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and served his own meal.

"How is Xiaozhou's study lately? Isn't it tiring to go to Maochang High School?" Seeing Chen Zhou coming over with food to pick up vegetables, Uncle Chen Jianjun asked.

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's not particularly tired." ”

I heard from your parents that you were admitted to your school's science (1) class, and I heard that you were still the best repeater class in your school?"

"Well, I was admitted to Class (1). ”

Hearing Chen Zhou's answer, the uncle said with satisfaction: "You know that it's good to work hard." At the beginning, I told your dad not to let you repeat your studies, it is already good to be admitted to a book, go to college early, work early, and help reduce the pressure on the family. But your dad didn't agree, saying that it didn't matter how tired he was, as long as you could seize the opportunity. ”

Chen Zhou didn't expect there to be such a story, and he was glad that he had been working hard and improving.

"Big brother, are you out of wine? Why are you talking too much?" Chen Jianguo saw his eldest brother revealing his bottom in front of the child, and he was immediately unhappy, so he picked up the wine bottle and filled it for his eldest brother.

Chen Zhou looked at the two and smiled, put the bowl on the table, found his backpack, and rummaged through it carefully.

Holding the report card of this monthly exam, Chen Zhou walked up to his father and said softly: "Dad, this is the transcript of this monthly exam, and the teacher asks parents to sign it." ”

"I'll see how many points you get on the test before deciding whether to sign or not. Chen Jianguo took the report card, unfolded it slowly, and looked at it very carefully.

"This language is 133, mathematics test 113, science comprehensive 215, English 126, this total score is..."

"Dad, the total score is 587, and the school is ranked 147. Chen Zhou spoke first.

"Yes, you can do it. Chen Jianguo nodded and carefully signed his name on the transcript.

The uncle couldn't help but count down his younger brother: "You can't speak too much, Xiaozhou is obviously very good in this test, and this has made great progress." Didn't you still say that this kid is not good at English, what is wrong with this English test? ”

The uncle's words also reminded Chen Jianguo, and he suddenly looked up at Chen Zhou and asked, "Xiaozhou, did you take this English test yourself? Or did you copy someone else's?"

Chen Zhou was speechless, although his English was indeed poor for all to see, but as for copying someone else's?

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't speak, Chen Jianguo thought that he had seen through his son's tricks, and was just about to get angry, when his daughter-in-law pulled his sleeve.

Zhang Hongying said: "Xiaozhou, I must have worked hard during this period of time to achieve this result. The whole person is thin, eat first, and ignore your dad. ”

Chen Zhou ate the chicken leg that his mother brought over, and said vaguely: "Thank you, Mom, this chicken leg is so delicious." ”

Hearing his wife Zhang Hongying's words, Chen Jianguo noticed that his son had indeed lost a lot of weight, and he was also darker, and his hand holding the report card couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, the uncle hurriedly found the steps for his younger brother: "Jianguo, I think you are stealing fun, Xiaozhou's repetition is your support, no one believes in Xiaozhou more than you." Now that Xiaozhou has studied hard and made progress, you are still pretending to be confused. I think you're waiting for Xiaozhou to surprise our old Chen family next year. ”

Following the eldest brother's words, Chen Jianguo hurriedly said: "Xiaozhou, I definitely believe it, okay, well done." That Hongying, you go and get me a cup too, and I'll accompany my eldest brother to drink. ”

Zhang Hongying glanced at her husband, but didn't say anything, got up and got a cup for him.

At the dinner table, the uncle and aunt kept praising Chen Zhou, and kept asking their own son, that is, Chen Zhou's cousin, to learn from the eldest brother.

Chen Zhou is the eldest of the younger generations of the old Chen family, and the uncle's child is also two years younger than Chen Zhou.

Even Chen Xiao, the younger brother with Chen Zhou, was a little frightened, but fortunately he was still in junior high school.

The family finished the meal warmly and warmly.

After dinner, the uncle's family went back, and Chen Zhou and his father sent them to the door.

The two were not in a hurry to go back, so they went out for a walk together.

"During this time, you're very tired, right?" After leaving the meeting in silence, Chen Jianguo opened his mouth first.

"Well, it's really tiring. Chen Zhou nodded honestly this time, "Maochang High School is indeed different from ordinary high schools, the management is very strict, and the time every day is full, either test papers or handouts." ”

Chen Zhou said, glanced at his father, and said in a different tone: "However, every day is also very fulfilling, and it is because of this that I can make rapid progress." ”

"Xiaozhou, I find that you seem to have really changed, I have never heard you say that learning is very fulfilling. Chen Jianguo also discovered his son's transformation, which seems to have started when he decided to repeat his studies.

After a pause, Chen Jianguo continued: "Dad apologizes to you for what happened just now, you can get good grades, I am happy in my heart, but I am afraid of you..."

"Dad. Chen Zhou interrupted his father's words and said in an affirmative tone: "Dad, don't worry, since I have chosen to repeat, I will definitely stick to it." ”

Looking at his father's somewhat vicissitudes of life, Chen Zhou added in his heart: "I can't live up to you." ”

"Why don't your mother take care of you, so that you can study with more peace of mind." Chen Jianguo once again put forward the suggestion of accompanying the reader.

"Dad, no, I can take care of myself. And Chen Xiao is also going to school at home, you are busy and tired at work, and you can't take care of it without your mother. Chen Zhou also told him about calling the restaurant owner to order food, and finally gave his father a reassuring look.

"Okay, Dad believes you can take care of yourself. Dad also believes that next summer, you will definitely be able to bring a big surprise to the old Chen family!" Chen Jianguo said and took out something and handed it to Chen Zhou.

"What?"

"Look at it. ”

Chen Zhou took it and saw that the beautifully packaged mobile phone had not yet been opened.

"Rice 3?" Chen Zhou opened it and looked at it, a little surprised, he didn't expect his father to buy him a new mobile phone.

"The Nojia you used was all I used for several years, and it should be eliminated. Now I see that I use this kind of mobile phone, it seems to be convenient to check information on the Internet, and I believe that you can control yourself. I heard that this is the latest model this year, and I finally grabbed it. Chen Jianguo explained.

"Thank you, Dad. ”

The father and son chatted while walking, and after struggling for a while, Chen Zhou told his father what the head teacher Wang Xuehui had explained.

Chen Jianguo thought about it, and it happened that he also had time during the Golden Week, so he readily agreed to go to school with Chen Zhou.

The two estimated that they wandered outside for more than an hour before going back, and when they got home, they were teased by their mother Zhang Hongying: "I thought you sent someone to the eldest brother's house, and if you don't come back, I will call and ask." ”

Chen Zhou and his father looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
