Chapter 3: Much to look forward to

At 6 o'clock in the morning on April 1, Tang Liyun got up early as usual, and after washing, she prepared breakfast in the kitchen, which called Ma Dongbao and Ma Mingyuan to get up and eat.

Today is the day of the supernatural index test, Ma Dongbao did not lie in bed, and Tang Liyun got up as soon as he screamed.

Ma Dongbao quickly ran to the bathroom, he had to grab the bathroom with his father Ma Mingyuan every morning. Because the bathroom is small, it can be uncomfortable for two people to be crammed in at the same time. So every day, whoever grabs it first uses it first.

Ma Dongbao was surprised to see that Ma Mingyuan was already standing outside the bathroom at this time, standing upright, smiling, seeing Ma Dongbao coming, his right hand came to a posture of inviting in, and he was alive and well as a doorman!

Ma Dongbao looked at Ma Mingyuan in surprise, what's wrong with today? Don't you grab the bathroom with me? Could it be that he has already used up the bathroom or is holding back some bad intentions?

Ma Dongbao thought to himself, he didn't stop on his legs, and locked the door after entering.

After Ma Dongbao finished washing, he came to the dining table. I saw that three bowls of millet porridge, three cups of milk, three boiled eggs, a bag of bread and a few pieces of cake were already on the table.

Ma Dongbao began to eat without saying a word, he suddenly felt particularly hungry this morning, and quickly ate all the food in front of him, a bowl of millet porridge, a boiled egg, and two cakes. But he didn't drink milk, and he really didn't like the taste of milk now.

Tang Liyun just picked up a slice of bread in her hand, and before she could take two bites, she found that Ma Dongbao had quickly finished eating her share. I was very happy, "Dongbao, I ate very fast today, and I have a lot." ”

After Ma Dongbao finished eating, he smashed his mouth, feeling that he was not full, "Is there anything else?"

"Not full?" Tang Liyun was a little surprised, "Then look at these on the table, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Ma Dongbao let out an "oh", and after a while, he ate all the food on the table like a cloud, and finally drank all the three glasses of milk left, and drank it all with a pinch of his nose.

Ma Mingyuan saw that Ma Dongbao finished washing up and came out of the bathroom before entering the bathroom. He felt guilty about what he said to his son last night. He actually loves this son more than anyone else in his heart, but he doesn't know what's going on, and he made the relationship between father and son like this.

Today is a day related to the major turning point of his son's fate, and he actually wants to say some words of encouragement and warmth to his son. But as soon as he got up in the morning, he silently thought in his heart how to tell his son, but he never thought about how to speak to his son.

So I had an idea, and today I took the initiative to be high-spirited, not to compete with my son for the bathroom, and to serve my son well when he went to the bathroom, which is better than letting myself say warm words to my son in person.

When Ma Mingyuan finished washing up and sat on the edge of the dining table, he found that the table was in a mess, and there was nothing to eat. Only Tang Liyun was left holding half of the uneaten bread in her hand, staring straight at her eyes and being stunned.

After Ma Dongbao finished eating, he put on his schoolbag, and when he was about to go out after saying hello, Tang Liyun stopped him, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into Ma Dongbao's hand, "Son, behave well today, Mom believes you will do it!"

Ma Dongbao hesitated for a moment, took it and put it in his pocket, and was inexplicably moved in his heart.

Usually, Tang Liyun gives Ma Dongbao 50 yuan of pocket money every week, usually on Mondays. Today is the day of her son's major test, and she wants to give her son some extra pocket money, in addition to verbal encouragement, and then some substantive encouragement.

Ma Mingyuan stood behind Tang Liyun, his lips moved a few times, so that he trembled slightly, he really wanted to say some warm words to his face to encourage his son. But after all, it was not spoken.

After her son went out, Tang Liyun said to Ma Mingyuan with a little apology: "My son ate both of our breakfast." ”

Ma Ming said generously: "It's okay, it's okay if this kid eats up, today is his important day, I hope it can successfully pass the test." ”

"Why didn't you say this to your son just now?" Tang Liyun complained, "Don't you know how important your face-to-face encouragement is to boost your son's self-confidence?"

"I ...... I ......" Ma Mingyuan stammered for a long time, didn't speak, and lowered his head shyly.

Tang Liyun no longer embarrassed him, she knew his character too well, and said softly: "You can go out and buy a pancake fruit or meat bun or something to deal with it later, and you will be able to eat lunch soon." ”

Ma Mingyuan said "oh" to show his agreement. Only then did he get up and pack his bag and prepare to go out.

Before leaving the door, Tang Liyun suddenly asked, "Do you still have change on you?" Why don't I give you another twenty yuan?"

I just gave Ma Dongbao a child 100 yuan, how did it become 20 yuan when I got to an adult? No way, now I have to pay off the mortgage every month, and I still have to pay off the loan for the down payment of the house little by little, plus the family's various living expenses. Ma Dongbao's family's current financial situation is very tight, and all the income is handed over to Tang Liyun for safekeeping, and she arranges various expenses.

Ma Mingyuan hurriedly said, "No, I still have it on me." ”

Tang Liyun's face pretended to sink, "Okay, hiding private money behind my back?"

Ma Mingyuan hurriedly defended: "No, the 20 yuan you gave me last week hasn't been spent yet." I don't smoke or drink, and I don't have a place to spend money. ”

Tang Liyun smiled and said, "It's good that you still have money on you, if you don't have it, tell me at any time." ”

After speaking, the two of them went out to work one after the other.

After Ma Dongbao went out, he was also surprised how he could be so hungry today, and ate three times the usual amount of food.

Maybe it's going to be a supernatural index test today, and I'm nervous, Ma Dongbao can only think like this at this time. He didn't think anything had entered his body last night.

Thinking that his mother had just given him another hundred yuan, Ma Dongbao's heart was a little excited. Children from strained families are thrilled when they get such a small amount of money.

Ma Dongbao's usual expenses are not large, and in fact, his pocket money cannot support his large expenses. The usual snacks are mainly provided by Gao Jianren, although Ma Dongbao himself does not like to eat snacks very much.

Ma Dongbao's biggest expenses are playing games and reading online novels. Ma Dongbao's economic level determines that playing games can only be played in small ways.

As for reading online novels, at first Ma Dongbao mainly read novels on pirated websites, after all, the student party has no money! But now Ma Dongbao has gradually begun to read genuine novels, and when he encounters his favorite novels, he can also order one or two copies of all his favorite novels, and usually give a reward of three or five yuan to show his love for the work and his support for the author.

Now that there is suddenly an extra hundred yuan, then you can give a reward of 10,000 points, and you can also get a head or something.

Ma Dongbao thought as he walked, and soon entered the campus.

As soon as he walked into the classroom, the little fat man Gao Jianren came over and said with a smile: "Ma Dongbao, do you want to hear good news?"

Ma Dongbao said as he walked, "What's the good news?"

Gao Jianren smiled and said, "Tell me first, have you finished your homework?"

Ma Dongbao said angrily: "I didn't bring the homework book." ”

Gao Jianren still smiled and said: "I think it's good news for you, let me tell you, I haven't finished my homework either." You will not be lonely on the way to make up for your homework, and you will always be with me. ”

"You're such a...... People, but I like it, haha!" Ma Dongbao grinned, squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then said: "Today is going to take the supernatural index test, why are you still thinking about homework? If we both pass today, we will be able to say goodbye to homework forever in the future." ”

"Yes, today is the day of the test, why am I still thinking about making up homework as before?" Gao Jianren scratched his head and said with a smile, and said seriously: "Dongbao, in order to stop writing homework in the future, the two of us must pass the test today!"

After speaking, the two high-fived each other. Ma Dongbao put his arm around Gao Jianren's neck and came to the edge of his seat with a smile.

Ma Dongbao's seat is in the last row of the classroom.

Ma Dongbao saw that there was already a girl sitting on the edge of his seat, and his face, which was still smiling just now, immediately froze, and he quickly let go of Gao Jianren, who was holding his neck. Seeing this, Gao Jianren also stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ran away.

Ma Dongbao had no choice but to carefully put his schoolbag on his seat, sat down on the bench gently, and nodded slightly at the girl next to him: "Hello squad leader." ”

Wen Yaxin also nodded slightly at Ma Dongbao in response.

Wen Yaxin is not only the squad leader, but also the leader of Ma Dongbao's group.

Class 12 of the second year of high school implements the group learning method, dividing the class into several groups, and each group has a small group leader who is responsible for supervising and helping the group members to complete their daily homework.

In this way, there are parents in the house, teachers in class, and group leaders in class, so there is really no time and space for the poor students to breathe freely.

The specific method is to divide the class of 40 students into groups of 10 in groups of four.

The members of each group are also very particular, and the class is divided into four echelons according to the ranking of grades, that is, the top 10 is the first echelon, the eleventh to the twentyth is the second echelon, and so on.

One student from each of the first, second, third and fourth echelons of each group to ensure the balance of strength among the groups.

Ma Dongbao and Wen Yaxin have just been transferred to a group, Wen Yaxin is of course in the first echelon, and there are Liu Jianhui in the second echelon, Zhao Ying in the third echelon, and Ma Dongbao himself belongs to the fourth echelon.

For Ma Dongbaoneng and Banhua Zhao Ying and the goddess Wen Yaxin to be in the same group, other male classmates were very envious, especially Gao Jianren expressed envy and hatred more than once.

But only Ma Dongbao knows the distress in his heart. Banhua and goddess, are they prepared for an errand like herself? Of course not, they are for Liu Jianhui.

Liu Jianhui is tall and very handsome, he is still a member of the sports committee in the class, his academic performance is not bad, and his father is still a director of the Education Bureau.

Before Liu Jianhui, he ridiculed Ma Dongbao and ridiculed Ma Dongbao, and of course Gao Jianren, which is one of the reasons why the two of them can come together. Liu Jianhui often stepped on Ma Dongbao, and Ma Dongbao also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and he hid far away if he couldn't be provoked.

Children with no academic performance and no family background are often despised or even disgusted by their teachers and classmates at school.

So being assigned to a group that is very fragrant in the eyes of others, Ma Dongbao himself is not happy at all.

To put it nicely, the teacher hopes that Wen Yaxin, an excellent student, can supervise and help Ma Dongbao, a poor student, to improve. But Ma Dongbao knows in his heart that in the past 2 years of high school, he and Wen Yaxin have not said more than ten sentences, so how can he help himself?

To put it mildly, I, Ma Dongbao, am just a background board for the other members of the group to set off the excellence of others.

Ma Dongbao and the first Wen Yaxin in the class were assigned to a group, and Gao Jianren and the second in the class Ruan Zizhe were assigned to a group.

Ruan Zizhe, male, 17 years old, ranked second in the class in terms of academic performance, and is the first student in the current class. Small, history-loving, and with thick glasses, his classmates nicknamed him "Four Eyes".

Four-eyed's family background is also good, and his father is a professor of sociology at Xijing University of Science and Technology.

"Hey, do you know? If you can pass the supernatural index test, the state will subsidize 2,000 yuan a month!" I don't know if the classmate shouted excitedly at this time.

Hearing this, there was another commotion in the class.

"Wow! If you pass the test, you'll be given a subsidy of 2,000 yuan!

"yes, that means we can get paid while we go to school, hahaha!"

"Two thousand yuan is a lot, much more than the pocket money my mother gave me every month!"

……

When Ma Dongbao heard this, he was also excited. In the morning, my mother gave herself an extra 100 yuan, and I was excited for a long time.

In the future, if you can get 2,000 yuan a month, then I don't know what you can do?

Liu Jianhui ran into the classroom at this time and sat in front of Ma Dongbao. He obviously heard this sentence just now, and as soon as he put down his schoolbag, he said loudly: "I have more exciting news here!"

After hearing this, the students stared at Liu Jianhui with their eyes.

Liu Jianhui liked this feeling of attention the most, cleared his throat and said loudly: "I heard that a boy in the second year of high school in Beijing was admitted to Tsinghua University on the spot after passing the supernatural index test. ”

There was an exclamation among the classmates, and some people began to envy in their hearts.

"This is not over, there are more exciting things to come!" Liu Jianhui enjoyed the current atmosphere of being watched by everyone, and said more energetically, "It didn't take long for Hua Youwei to sign a work agreement directly with this student!"

"What kind of company is Hua Youwei?" someone didn't know very well, so he asked directly.

"You don't even know this? It's the most powerful communication equipment company in my country in Shenhai City!"

"Oh, you know that, it's the one that sells mobile phones, right?"

……

Liu Jianhui waited for everyone to finish the discussion, and then said: "It is not enough to sign a work agreement in advance, from now on, you will pay a salary of 10,000 yuan per month in advance, until you graduate from college and work in the company, with a starting salary of 30,000 yuan, and the previous gap of 20,000 yuan will be filled!"

Hearing the news, the students were full of excitement, as if they would soon be able to get this treatment.

Everyone is looking forward to the supernatural index test that will be held today.
