In the three years of high school, Wu Lei's grades were considered to be in the middle and upper reaches, not particularly good, and he was basically in the top 20s of the class. In the words of the head teacher, two books are stable, and one is not expected. Even in the last few mock exams, the score improved slightly, and the best one had a total score of 526, which was still more than 20 points away from the score line of the book, and he could only rank more than 20 in the class.

And Wu Lei is also relatively low-key in the class, and the relationship between classmates is also good. Although his father's identity is a civil servant, no one knows what kind of official he is, and his mother is a policeman, but many classmates know about it, and it doesn't attract much attention. Wu Lei's civil servant father did exactly what he did, except for the principal of No. 1 Middle School, the other teachers didn't know, and even Wu Lei's homeroom teacher didn't know.

Wu Lei's homeroom teacher, Mr. Xu, is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a little sparse hair on his head and a slight fat body. He has more than ten years of experience in Chinese teaching, and he is also a little experienced, and he is the leader of the grade Chinese teaching team in the school.

Middle-aged people always have some dreams, hoping that they can go higher in the school, so they usually perform more actively in school, respectful to the leaders above, polite to colleagues, and even amiable to students. If you want to say that he is a good person, it is not all right, in the treatment of those students who have bad grades and poor family backgrounds, he will also shout loudly that is not pleasing to the eye, "the mud can't support the wall", "rotten wood can't be carved", "the family road is declining, it is better to return to farming".

For those students with special family backgrounds and who do not know the specific situation, no matter whether their grades are good or bad, he does not dare to say anything serious, at most he will say a few words, "If the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad in vain", "Don't wait for idleness, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad".

On July 25th, the day the college entrance examination scores came out, Wu Lei didn't care much. Early in the morning, in Lin Yan's company, he and Zhou Qifan were bragging and messing around, and suddenly a phone rang.

"Ding...... Ding......"

Wu Lei opened the phone and saw that it was the head teacher, Teacher Xu, and was quite surprised! "Teacher Xu, hello, what's the matter?"

"Wu Lei, the college entrance examination results are out, do you know?" said Teacher Xu's kind voice with a slightly flattering taste.

"Teacher Xu, I'm sorry, I don't know yet! Dare to ask the teacher, the results have been announced in the school?" Wu Lei was a little embarrassed, after meeting Xiaofan from his brother for more than a month, the two played very well, and they were very confident in the results of the college entrance examination, and they wanted to come out in August, but they didn't expect the score line to come out.

"Wu Lei, the teacher is proud of you, you are very unexpected to me, Jiangsu launched the 3+X exam for the first time this year, this time the comprehensive test paper can be said to be very difficult, many students are not lightly planted, you have scored the highest score of 268 points in our school's comprehensive subject, congratulations! This time your total score is also the first in the class, 632 points, the second in the school, come to the school tomorrow to fill in the volunteers, discuss with your parents what school to fill in, I see that Mizuki or Tianda can fill in. "Teacher Xu is very happy.

"Ah, really, thank you, teacher, this is all the result of your good teaching, and the results of the teachers' usual care and guidance for me!" Wu Lei was very surprised, he thought there was no problem in being able to take the exam well, but it was unexpected that he could take the first place in the class.

"Wu Lei, the teacher has a small request, if you hold a college banquet or something at home this time, the teacher will definitely come uninvited, and I bother you to tell me too, I will congratulate you in person, haha!" Teacher Xu's tone on the phone was very amiable, and Wu Lei could see his smiling face through the phone. The class he led could produce one or two students from the highest universities in China, and the glory on the teacher's face was needless to say, and it was even more helpful in his career.

After Wu Lei hung up the phone, he immediately went to Lin Yan's office to report the good news, and then called his grandparents and parents. Wu Lei's unexpectedly high score, so that the Wu family was indeed pleasantly surprised, the high score of 632 points is also ranked in the entire S City, the questions of this year's comprehensive exam are very difficult, and the highest score of the provincial champion is only 654 points.

In the evening, Wu Lei and Lin Yan went home for dinner together, grandparents were very happy, and Wu's father and mother also came back together today. In front of his family, Wu Lei attributed the reason for this high score to Lin Yan, and took out the handwritten photo questions that Lin Yan asked him to do. also talked about the teacher appreciation banquet that the head teacher Xu talked about, but Wu Lei was very disdainful and said not to do it. Dad and Mom also felt that the principle of thrift and thrift was practiced, and the status of civil servants and other reasons also felt that it was not good to hold a thank-you banquet. However, grandma thinks that this matter has nothing to do with it, and the simple family banquet is just to express gratitude to the teacher, and it should not be on the line.

Grandpa thought about it carefully and said: "This thank-you banquet is no problem in terms of etiquette and respect for teachers, but we Chinese people are easy to deviate from things, and give gifts and other unhealthy tendencies. Although the body is not afraid of the shadow, it is also terrifying! In this way, this teacher appreciation banquet will be held, but it is not in our home, but in school. Guoxin, you contact Liu Tongyou, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, and borrow a place from him to hold a tea party, and my old Wu invites all teachers to drink tea and chat, thank you teachers for cultivating Xiao Lei! Of course, our family is not short of money for dinner, and when the time comes, I will take out 100,000 yuan and let Xiao Liu set up an outstanding teacher award to award to those outstanding teachers. ”

Well, this method is feasible, it is not wasteful, it is also lively, and it also establishes a new atmosphere, so as to express gratitude to the teacher, it is a kind of praise and a kind of positive energy. Okay, I'll go find Mr. Liu. Wu Guoxin happily agreed with his father's idea.

"Dad, I'm going to school tomorrow to fill in the volunteers, I want to fill in S University, and my brother is in the same school, and I want to learn computer science as a major, okay. ”

Wu's father and Wu's mother glanced at each other, and they didn't speak directly with some hesitation.

Lin Yan could see that Abba and Aunt might have different thoughts in their hearts, but their son's words would also be considered and respected, maybe it had something to do with them.

"Xiao Lei, my brother said a word, I hope you will think about it seriously. The best polytechnic school in the country is Mizuki University, and the liberal arts is Tenkyo University, and in terms of your cut-off score, you can definitely get admission to both schools. Although S University is not bad, it is definitely not as good as those two universities, you can't just look at your brother, you should have higher goals. ”

"Lin Yan is right, Wu Lei, your parents respect your own wishes, but you can't only think about it emotionally, but also think about it rationally, you like computers, your parents don't object, but it's better to go to Shuimu or Tianda?" Wu Lei's mother said.

"Mom, I know, but I just want to be in S University, I want to learn from my brother, and accompany my brother to start a business together. Wu Lei said a little stubbornly.

"Xiao Lei, you haven't been to the North Country yet, have you?" Lin Yan asked.

"Well, since I was a child, I have been in S City, my parents are very busy during the holidays, and I haven't taken me out to play much, when I was a child, my grandparents often took me to climb the mountain and went to see the sea. ”

"Didn't you chat with me and say that you want to go to the north to see?" Haven't you always liked the poem 'The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifting'? There are also the grasslands outside the Saiwai, Hufu riding and shooting, as well as the red leaves of Jinshan, the Great Wall, and the ancient capital of the Forbidden City, don't you also want to go and see it?" Lin Yan talked about the cultural scenery over there in Tianjing, which suddenly aroused Wu Lei's infinite longing.

Wu Lei listened to Lin Yan's words, and hesitated in his heart, not only wanting to stay in S City and struggle with Lin Yan, but also wanting to realize his dream of going to the Great Wall, going to the Forbidden City, and going to the outside of the fortress.

Lin Yan continued: "The boy is ambitious in all directions, the country is good, we should go out when we are old, I also came out of the small mountain village, for me, S City is just my first stop, in the future I will also Tianjing, go to the magic capital, go there to establish a career." Wu Lei, my brother hopes that you will study hard in Tianjing, and we will meet in Tianjing in the future and work together to make a career, how about it?"

"Okay, brother, I promise you, then I will wait for you in Tianjing! Grandparents, Dad, Mom, I have decided that I will go to Tianjing University. Lin Yan's words aroused Wu Lei's ambition, and he made a decision on his family right away.

"Okay, okay, your grandfather and I don't want you to do any big business, as long as you are self-motivated and contribute to the country, even if you are a worker, we are all happy! Lin Yan, in fact, Xiao Lei is also very relieved that he is by your side, and it is the same whether he goes to Tianjing or not. Grandma looked at the two children with a smile and said, with a happy face.

Wu Lei's parents also had a bright face, looking at Wu Lei and Lin Yan, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Lin Yan's words of persuading Wu Lei at the end deeply touched their hearts, and their love for Lin Yan deepened.

Wu Guoxin personally contacted Liu Tongyou, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, and arranged the teacher appreciation banquet in the school's conference room. On that day, the old man, accompanied by Wu Guoxin and Gao Yunping, went to the principal conference room of No. 1 Middle School. As soon as Wu Guoxin's car arrived at the school gate, he saw many school leaders, under the leadership of Liu Tongyou, personally greeting the old man with a very humble attitude. During the holidays, the school only had guards and school leaders, as well as Wu Lei's teachers, and there were more than a dozen teachers in total.

Wu Lei's homeroom teacher, Mr. Xu, saw this posture and had mixed feelings. He didn't expect his small words to make the principal so cautious. Wu Lei's background behind him is really not simple, looking at the old man's momentum, although he is silver-haired, he is in good spirits, his steps are sonorous and powerful, his eyes are like a sharp sword, and he doesn't dare to look at it directly.

In the conference room, the old man expressed his gratitude to all the teachers of No. 1 Middle School very kindly, highly praised No. 1 Middle School's good learning style and good teacher morality, and hoped to make persistent efforts to cultivate more talents for the country. Before leaving, he took out 100,000 yuan and handed it to Liu Tongyou and said: "This money is used as the school's 'Outstanding Teacher Award', not for a certain person, but to reward those teachers who perform well. What is a teacher? Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations."

Liu Tongyou, who said something, didn't dare to accept the money, and he didn't dare not accept the money. Wu Lei's homeroom teacher, Teacher Xu, is repentant, why did he say the words of the thank you banquet, Old Man Wu doesn't know how to understand this move, if Principal Liu blames him, he won't be able to eat and walk around.
