Chapter 113: A Little Progress
Chen Qiaoshan has been a little anxious recently, and since he made up his mind to prepare for the exam, he has been a little powerless, and he always feels that he needs to buy some pills for a dime to make up for it.
While coping with his daily classes, he munched on the English book for finance majors and kept an extra eye on the stock market information.
Chen Qiaoshan doesn't have a computer, although Ye Qixing in the same dormitory has one, but he usually doesn't touch it.
He never watches the stock market in the dormitory, and often has classmates next door to visit the door, and if he doesn't get it right, it will spread in the college, Chen Qiaoshan is now well-known enough, he really doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
After a period of adaptation, Chen Qiaoshan has become accustomed to the rhythm of life at Peking University.
He got up early every morning and went out to pick up Yan Xiaoqin, the two would find a quiet corner to memorize English, Chen Qiaoshan usually served as a teacher, and corrected some of Yan Xiaoqin's oral pronunciation problems from time to time.
There are many couples like them on campus, and the atmosphere of Peking University is very open, and the style of study is relatively relaxed, and the two are not very conspicuous on campus.
Yan Xiaoqin takes her studies very seriously, she supports Chen Qiaoshan's decision to take the professional English certification exam, and has always been by his side to encourage him.
Finance English is very boring, and there is no skill, so you can only rely on rote memorization, the key is that Chen Qiaoshan has average talent in this area, and the progress has been very slow, Yan Xiaoqin is very anxious for him, she also went to the professor of the English Department for advice, but unfortunately the old professor has no good way, just said that there is no shortcut to do learning, and can only work harder.
Chen Qiaoshan was ruthless in his heart, this time he would not give up until he reached his goal, and he also formulated a careful study plan for this purpose.
He has never worked so hard in his two lives, and his head is a bit exaggerated, but Chen Qiaoshan really didn't work hard, people were forced out, and his results still improved a little after some hard work, according to the current progress, he is still somewhat sure of the exam in November.
……
On Thursday morning, Chen Qiaoshan, as usual, went to Building 36 to pick up Yan Xiaoqin first, but this time he didn't start his morning reading directly, he took out his mobile phone and called home first.
Today is August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.
In 2003, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not yet an official holiday, and it was not until four years later that it was established as an official holiday, with one day off each year.
The Chen family is just the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the township is generally catching up with the busy farming, how can the rural family still take care of the holiday, Chen Qiaoshan called home not to celebrate the festival, today is Xiao Wu's birthday.
Chen Qiaoshan's impression that the birthdays of the children of the Chen family are generally very simple, and there are definitely no birthday gifts, but there are always exceptions to everything, which may be a common problem in many families, and the old and young in the family will always receive some preferential treatment.
Generally, on Xiao Wu's birthday, Chen Weiguo will prepare some snacks or something, and when he takes it out on this day, he will always coax the little girl to be happy all day long, of course, Chen Qiaoshan and the third and fourth children will not care, the age of Xiao Wu is too different from a few people, and it is inevitable that those who are brothers and sisters will give way.
Thinking of Xiao Wu, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but have a headache, he called home a few days ago, and heard Chen's mother say that she was in trouble at school again, and she didn't know when the little girl would be able to rely on it.
As soon as the phone was dialed, it was immediately connected, and before he could speak, Xiao Wu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Second brother, you called me so early?"
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seemed that she had been guarding the phone early in the morning, he pretended not to know why and said: "Yes, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, make a call and ask!"
Xiao Wuyi wilted when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask pitifully: "Second brother, did you call back for this?"
Chen Qiaoshan felt very funny, and said with a smile: "Yes!"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, and the little girl was obviously unhappy.
Chen Qiaoshan stopped teasing her, and he didn't want to really make her unhappy, "What's the matter, isn't it your birthday today, why didn't you suddenly speak?"
"Second brother!" Xiao Wu suddenly stopped talking, and couldn't help but sneer: "You will coax me!"
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Okay, today I am a year older again, I am a big girl, I have to understand something in the future, I heard my mother say that you are in trouble again the day before yesterday, tell my brother, what are you doing at school?"
"Second brother, I have a birthday today, I don't care if I don't have a birthday gift, can't we say something happy?" Xiao Wu ignored his words, his mouth was full of words, and he still set a set.
Chen Qiaoshan was not fooled, and said directly: "It's not impossible, but how did you promise me at the beginning, didn't you say that you want to study hard?"
"I've studied hard, and my math test score improved a few days ago!"
Chen Qiaoshan was overjoyed, but he didn't hear Chen's mother mention this situation, he asked, "How much did you take the exam this time?"
"Don't talk about this!" the little girl said in a tone that was not sparse.
Chen Qiaoshan is not so easy to fool, "Tell me, I have finally improved, and I am happy." ”
Xiao Wu was out of line now, and said softly: "I scored 78 points in the test this time." ”
Chen Qiaoshan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and asked, "You scored 77 points in mathematics in the last final exam, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Wu's voice was much quieter, and he obviously looked a little lacking in confidence.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but be angry and funny, but after thinking about it carefully, what Xiao Wu said was right, this was really progress, and he didn't want to hit his sister's self-confidence, so he had to encourage: "Not bad, it's really progressive, but you still have to work hard, you know!"
Xiao Wu was very surprised, when she went home a few days ago and talked about it, Chen's mother was stunned, saying that this grade was still the bottom of the class or something, which made her very faceless.
She had obviously worked very hard, but she got one more point in the test, and she was quite happy in her heart, but when Chen's mother said this, Xiao Wu was a little deflated again.
She didn't want to talk about it this time, but the second brother asked, in the end, she still said it, in fact, Xiao Wu still had a little caution in her heart, but she didn't expect the second brother to really encourage herself, and the little girl suddenly had a sense of identity in her heart that she had never had.
"Second brother, it's still your best!"
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what Xiao Wu was going to do, but the emperor was far away, so he could only tell a few more words carefully before hanging up the phone.
Yan Xiaoqin kept watching him from the side, and when the phone hung up, she asked, "Xiao Wu's birthday, you just make a phone call and it's over?"
Chen Qiaoshan nodded and said, "Yes, my family is foolish about birthdays, and they don't pay so much attention to it." ”
Yan Xiaoqin glanced at him and nodded thoughtfully.
……
During the morning class, Chen Qiaoshan heard the news that Li Xiaolin had also signed up for the English Certification Exam for Finance Majors in November.
Chen Qiaoshan felt very surprised, he had a feeling that this Li Xiaolin always seemed to be aimed at him, and it was not once or twice.
It is said that he lost her face in the election, and it didn't have any impact at the time, shouldn't Li Xiaolin be so unrelenting?
Thinking of this, Chen Qiaoshan felt the need to talk to her, after all, he was now a classmate, and he didn't want to be so stubborn in his heart.
But things are so inches, when there is nothing to do, I often dangle in front of my eyes, and when I have something to look for, I can't meet it, I didn't see Li Xiaolin's shadow in the morning, Chen Qiaoshan had to give up, there were no professional classes in my freshman year, most of the time I took big classes in public classrooms, there were a lot of people, and it was normal to not meet them.
Speaking of the public classes of Peking University, it is also difficult to describe, there are only a dozen people in a small number, and a classroom of 500 people can be filled in a large number.
……
Every afternoon, if he has time, Chen Qiaoshan usually takes the time to go to the electronic reading room to sit for a while, and each time he stays for a short time, just to look at the stock market of the day, and then check the follow-up development of the hops incident by the way.
He usually doesn't sit for long, but today is an exception, things have changed, not that there is a problem with SAIC's stock, but that there is a new trend in the Delong department.
Just today, the executives of Delong Group came forward to clarify that hops are not a subsidiary of Delong, and Delong Group and related affiliates are not involved in the issue of hops guarantee.
Looking at the news on Sina.com, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile, he had been waiting for a long time for this day, and he was thinking about it, the phone in his backpack rang, and when he took it out, he couldn't help but be stunned.
