Chapter 67: Chinese New Year (2)
Eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Day. There are too many relatives here in my grandmother's house, and I followed my parents to say hello door-to-door. In the evening, some of my cousins came and insisted on pulling me to play cards. In the past, my parents would not have allowed me to play with money, but now that I can earn money, they acquiesce.
I found out that my parents had started to treat me like an adult.
My cousins and cousins all like to play cards all year round, and although I also played after working in my previous life, I was not keen on it. After playing for two hours, I kept losing, and in the end, I took out five red tickets inside and out.
But I don't care, five hundred dollars makes my cousins and cousins very happy, and it's worth it.
After a lively day, early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, my father drove me and my mother back to L City and went to my grandfather's house. On this day, as is customary, all the children will return. When we arrived, the aunt's family who settled in City C and the second aunt's family who worked in City B were already in the house, chatting with my grandparents. The aunt and her husband's baby daughter, Tian Wenwen, sat in the corner playing with her mobile phone.
"My grandson has grown up to be an adult." Grandma grabbed my hand and said with a smile. Grandpa, who had always been stern, pointed to the empty stool next to him expressionlessly, and said to his parents, "Sit." β
The whole family is here. The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the father and the grandfather sat at the table and chatted; The second aunt dragged her mother into the house to see a few beautiful clothes she had newly bought; I accompanied my grandmother and aunt to talk about my studies in No. 1 Middle School. Grandma always smiled kindly no matter what I said, but my aunt was quite concerned about learning and listened very carefully. I know that Tian Wenwen is in her second year of high school in City C, and her academic performance has always been a headache for my aunt.
"Wenwen, don't play with your phone, come and listen to your eldest brother talk about how to study." The aunt angrily reprimanded Tian Wenwen.
Tian Wenwen rolled her eyes at me, reluctantly put down her phone, and walked over.
I was accustomed to Tian Wenwen's arrogance in my previous life, and I didn't care.
Tian Wenwen moved a small stool and sat next to me, holding her chin and pouting, looking at herself on her toes in a daze.
My aunt smiled at me and said, "Chen Ze, you go on to say, how to learn math in high school, Wenwen's math has always been a weakness. β
In the face of the aunt who sincerely asks for advice, I can only take out a few clichΓ©s and tell her: for example, I listened carefully in class, reviewed my notes well after class, memorized the wrong question book, and was careful when doing the questions...... In fact, I also know that no matter what I say to Tian Wenwen, it is useless. First, she is arrogant and looks down on me, and she won't listen to anything I say; The second is that Tian Wenwen herself doesn't want to study hard, in her previous life, she just casually took three exams, and after graduation, she came back and asked her aunt-in-law to find a job in the career establishment.
But after all, she is a girl, she is also very beautiful, and she has the help of her aunt's connections in City C, so it doesn't matter how she studies or what university she goes to. As long as she goes home, there is a stable career waiting for her. When you reach the age, you can find a matching Ruyi Langjun to marry, and your life will be happy.
Reborn, I didn't talk about my learning experience to Tian Wenwen like in my previous life, thankless things, why bother.
I briefly said a few things and accepted them when I saw them, and Tian Wenwen, who was ready to listen to my chatter and explain my learning experience like every year, looked at me with some surprise, as if she was wondering why this soil bun stopped after saying such a few words this year.
Yes, because my family's economic conditions are not as good as my aunt's family, especially in dressing, I have always been quite plain. Tian Wenwen called me Tubaozi behind her back with an adult. In my previous life, when I knew this name, I was quite angry. But now, I don't care.
No matter how much she looks down on me, it's still my sister in the end. Is it necessary for me, an old man with a thirty-year-old soul, to be more serious with her as a child?
Seeing the quizzing glance she threw at me, I smiled at her.
Tian Wenwen rolled her eyes and turned her head.
"That's a good point, two more words." Auntie is still unsatisfied.
I smiled: "My study is average, I can make a living by studying, but I can't be a teacher to teach others." Auntie, don't be embarrassed for me. β
Tian Wenwen also took the opportunity to say: "That's it, Mom, Chen Ze himself said that if you can't be a teacher, don't keep letting him teach me." β
The aunt glared at her.
At this time, Grandma spoke.
I know that in her heart, there has always been a patriarchal idea. In addition, Tian Wenwen lives in City C and only comes back once a year, while I follow my parents here to see my grandmother on vacation. In contrast, my grandmother still loves me more. When she saw Tian Wenwen saying that I was not good, she was unwilling.
"Ozawa, you are too modest, what is the average study, you have told me in the past few monthly exams, the first place in the first middle school every time, and the total score of the second place is more than fifty points. How many times in a row have you got a perfect score in math? Three or four times? β
Khan, I didn't expect that my mother would show off all this to my grandmother. Moreover, my grandmother called me Ozawa, and I was a little ashamed.
I smiled a little awkwardly, and my aunt and Tian Wenwen looked at me in surprise. The difference is that Tian Wenwen looked at me with suspicion, as if to say, it must be fake. And my aunt smiled happily for me: "Full marks in mathematics? 1st place in a middle school? Okay, Chen Ze, your grades have improved rapidly in the third year of high school. How many points do you usually get on the mock exam? β
I answered her truthfully: "Six hundred ** ten." β
This time, I was not modest, and in the last two school monthly exams, I tried my best to control my score and maintain it at the level of 680 to 90. When you wait for the college entrance examination, this score will definitely be able to enter Tsinghua University, and at the same time, it will not be too eye-catching.
"Oops, more than six hundred and eighty points!" Because of Tian Wenwen, my aunt is very concerned about the college entrance examination. She knows very well what the concept of 680 points is in Beiliao Province, if she gets 680 points in the college entrance examination, even if she is not the champion, she is still in the top few. And the mock monthly exam in high school, it will not be too bad up and down, if I can usually get 680 points, then the worst in the college entrance examination is 660 points or more.
"Our family is going to have a Tsinghua college student." My aunt patted me excitedly.
I grinned in pain, it seems that my mother filmed my actions when she was excited, which was inherited by my grandfather. Why does my aunt also have this habit.
At this time, the eldest aunt came over.
The eldest aunt is a section chief of the Propaganda Department of City C, and he is quite good, but he is a bit of an official on weekdays.
He walked over with his hands behind his back and patted me on the shoulder with a smile: "What's the matter, so happy." β
The aunt pulled the sleeve of the aunt's husband and said excitedly: "Wei Hong, Chen Ze is now the first in their school, and his monthly exam scores are more than 680 points." β
"Really?" My aunt-in-law, Tian Weihong, looked at me with a smile and patted me on the shoulder with a leadership style, "Work harder, you can't be proud because you have made achievements, you must be down-to-earth, diligent, take a good university, and strive to be a useful talent for the country." β
I smiled politely at my aunt.
