Chapter 025: The Cool Old Bird
One week after the high school entrance examination, that is, on the seventh day after the examination. On this day, the high school entrance examination score inquiry hotline will be opened, which is a very important day for countless families, and it is also the first major dividing line in the lives of candidates.
Although it was not sunny outside, but a muddy weather with heavy rain, early in the morning, people's mood was full of anxiety and infinite anticipation, like the desire to face a great enemy.
Among the thousands of worried families, Tang Yin's family is also an inconspicuous member.
Although Tang Yin's grades have always been terrible, this does not mean that Tang's father and Tang's mother will give up hope. Even after ten years, Tang Yin experienced failures all the way, Tang's father and Tang's mother still did not give up their expectations for him.
Today, Tang's father and Tang's mother didn't go anywhere, and stayed by the telephone early in the morning, waiting for this unknown decisive moment.
Uncle They also came to Tang Yin's house in the morning and said some comforting words that didn't seem like comfort: "Alas, it's really not okay to spend money to go to Xiangyang Middle School." It is said that this year's exam paper is very difficult, and it seems that it is for retired teachers. ”
The implication is obvious, this paper is very difficult, and with Tang Yin's results, he will not do well. You should be prepared to spend some money to go to Xiangyang Middle School.
Where are these comforting words, it is obvious that Tang Yin is flattened, but Tang's father and Tang's mother nodded thoughtfully. Although his uncle is very realistic, he is right, Tang Yin's grades are already poor, and the possibility of failing the test is very high.
Cousin Tang Mengru didn't say anything sarcastic about Tang Yin for the first time, but said faintly:
"Well, when you go to high school, you have to work hard, and when the time comes, I'll get some materials from the city No. 1 middle school for your reference, the learning materials of our city No. 1 middle school are not comparable to those garbage schools."
Although the tone is still so impulsive, and there is a strong sense of superiority of the first middle school student, it is still obvious that he cares about Tang Yin's thoughts.
The uncle's family had a simple lunch at Tang Yin's house, and left in a hurry, everyone has their own affairs, and it is impossible to give up work in order to wait for Tang Yin's results.
After the uncle and the others left, the Tang family was cold again, everyone didn't speak again, and Tang's mother didn't even bother to wash the dishes and chopsticks, so she stayed in front of the TV with Tang's father, waiting for the last moment to come.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, rolling subtitles appeared on the TV screen, which was the latest instant news in Cangshan City. The subtitle said: At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the Cangshan City High School Entrance Examination Inquiry Hotline will be officially opened, and the phone number ......
Tang's mother hurriedly wrote down the number on a piece of paper, while Tang's father sat on the sofa, his eyes staring at the TV and his eyes wandered, most of the cigarette in his hand spontaneously combusted, and he didn't see him take a puff.
Tang's mother didn't let Tang's father smoke on the balcony for the first time, and she couldn't even notice the smoke that usually smoked her eyes, but waited anxiously for the coming of 6 o'clock.
Next to the telephone on the coffee table, Tang Yin's test card is placed neatly. Although Tang's father and Tang's mother clearly remembered every digit of Tang Yin's admission ticket number, they still carefully spread the admission ticket on the coffee table.
The clock in the living room is "ticking", but the hourglass of time is like a hammer at this moment, and every time it is struck, it will make Tang's father and Tang's mother's hearts tremble once.
Although Tang Yin was somewhat confident in the status of his exam, he was also nervous in the face of the first major test after his second life, and he had failed too badly, which made Tang Yin have the psychology of gaining and losing.
The bell rang "Dangdang ......", and it was finally six o'clock. Although Tang's mother was nervous, she rushed to the telephone at the speed of an arrow, and quickly dialed the hotline, just for a moment, fine beads of sweat were faintly oozing from the tip of her nose.
"The phone you dialed is busy, please dial ...... later" Because Tang's mother pressed the hands-free, the hotline was busy in the entire living room.
This state lasted for more than 20 minutes, and Tang's mother still did not answer the hotline. This exacerbated Tang's mother's nervousness, and even Tang's father smoked with his head down, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
Suddenly, ......there was a knock on the door that was not loud for a while, but it was very frightening, which startled Tang's father and mother, who were extremely nervous.
Tang's mother was already anxious, and was frightened by the knock on the door, and blurted out: "Who?" The voice was a little out of shape, and the tone was a little rushed.
"May I ask if this is Secretary Tang's house in Houshan Township?" A stern voice asked timidly outside the door. Obviously, this person was frightened by Tang Mu's attitude just now.
When Father Tang heard that he was looking for himself, he frowned slightly, stood up, and strode towards the door of the living room.
Originally, Tang Yin was going to open the door, but when he thought that this person was looking for his father, he stopped. Father's official business, it is better to let him greet him personally. What's more, Mother Tang yelled at others just now?
But Tang Yin never expected that the visitor was actually the director of the Municipal Education Bureau. This short and fat Director Huang appeared in the hospital with Secretary Song after the rescue incident in Tang Yin's canteen, but he didn't have a chance to show his face and speak.
Director Huang was very polite when he came in, and greeted Tang Yin's family, but even Tang Yin didn't fall, as if Tang's mother's roar just now was a very friendly greeting.
It is said that the director of education of the big city bureau, especially at the moment when the high school entrance examination scores are about to be released, Director Huang should be very busy, how could he appear at Tang Yin's house very leisurely at this time?
This situation is really puzzling.
"Hehehe...... Today is the day of the high school examination scores, I think the hotline may be busy, and it is difficult to call, and I happened to pass by, so I came to Secretary Tang, Mrs. Tang, and Tang Yin to report the good news.
"Well, Tang Yin performed very well in this year's high school entrance examination, his score was very high, and his English was still the first in the city." Director Huang glanced at everyone, and also felt the tense atmosphere of the Tang family, and did not talk nonsense, but went straight to the point.
Director Huang was actually very depressed, when he was in the hospital, he saw with his own eyes that Secretary Song showed strong praise for Tang Yin, and a few days ago, Tang's father was also transferred to Houshan Township as a secretary, all of which showed the necessity of having a good relationship with the Tang family.
Originally, he thought that Tang Yin's grades were not good, and when the results of the high school entrance examination came out, he would send a favor to Tang Yin's family, and arrange for Tang Yin, a poor student, to go to school in the city's No. 1 Middle School, which was not a big problem for him.
But what stunned him was that Tang Yin, who had always performed poorly, scored exceptionally high in this high school entrance examination, which ruined his plan.
As a last resort, Director Huang had to come to the door in person and send Tang Yin's results to Tang Yin's house, as a way to show that he still cares about Tang Yin's classmates.
thinks that he is the director of education, for the sake of Tang Yin, a young man, but he always keeps an eye on the development of the situation and keeps abreast of Tang Yin's latest situation.
When he learned of Tang Yin's final results, Director Huang was full of bitterness, this girl is a demon, and her grades are usually so poor, why are the results of the high school entrance examination so good this time, and he will not give me a chance to perform at all.
But no matter what, Director Huang still got Tang Yin's report card as quickly as possible and sent it to Tang Yin's house in person. Because he knew that Tang Yin's score at this time was what the Tang family was most eager to know.
But Director Huang's words made the Tang family stunned: What does this mean, Director Huang came to his house to ridicule Tang Yin? No. 1 in the city in English, can we believe it? If you really believe it, then it's really a problem with the brain, and the head is filled with a substance with the same attributes as the chrysanthemum specialty.
After all, Director Huang is an old fritter who has been in officialdom for countless years, and he knows when he needs to show his face and when he needs to leave. After saying this, he dropped a small white note and took his leave.
His main purpose was to show his sincerity, not to see the Tang family who was at a loss after knowing the score.
Director Huang's departure did not receive a particularly warm farewell, which he also understands. Because at this time, the Tang family's thoughts were all focused on Tang Yin's achievements, where would they think of thanking him, the "old bird who reported good news"?
Indeed, the main thoughts of Tang Yin's family were all on that small note, and they didn't have the heart to think about other issues at all.
Tang Mu was the first person who couldn't hold her breath, and she was also the fastest person, she waited for Director Huang to leave, so she couldn't wait to rush to the coffee table and pick up the small note that Director Huang threw on it.
Looking at the machine typing on the note, Tang's mother voice was a little hoarse: "Admission ticket number: 2929152; Candidate's name: Tang Yin; Language - 137 points; Mathematics – 148 points; English – 150 points; Physicochemical...... Total score: 678 points. ”
The more Tang Mu spoke, the more out of shape her voice became, and even her lips and hands trembled, and even the small note made a rustling sound.
Will such a result be Tang Yin's achievement? Killing Tang's mother won't believe it's true, and even Tang's mother cursed Director Huang in her heart, isn't this dead director harmful? Okay, why do you want to give everyone so much hope!
Director Huang, who was being safely delivered to the car by the driver with a big umbrella, "Ah...... Ah ......" sneezed several times in succession: "Hey, I didn't get caught in the rain just now, how can I get cold?" He thought to himself.
The driver had just gotten into the car, and when he heard this, he was frightened and shivered: But don't be angry with me, otherwise the future will not be a good day.
So he didn't care about wiping the rain off his face, but tremblingly sent the napkin in front of the car to Director Huang: "Boss, you wipe it." ”
Director Huang took out a few napkins and wiped his nose, then waved his hand: "Well, ...... go home"
He went home with peace of mind, but the Tang family was not at ease. If Director Huang didn't give this note, the Tang family would not have much hope, but he just sent the good news of his victory in the high school entrance examination, would it be true?
Of course, Tang's father and Tang's mother will not believe that this is true, but not believing it does not mean that they are not eager to do so, and the only thing that can prove that what Director Huang said is true is the hotline inquiry number.
After being delayed like this, more than half an hour has passed. Tang's mother and Tang's father looked at each other, and looked at the phone in unison, Tang's mother instantly reached out to the telephone, dialed the hotline with heavy dialing hands-free, and was connected at once.
