Chapter 84: Fireworks
If you want to say what kind of impression most men in the countryside give Wu Ling, it is estimated that there are only two words, you can drink!
There are many people who can drink, but there is no such thing as in the countryside, where almost every adult is able to drink. Once more than two people get together, one or two catties of liquor is not enough at all, and once so many people who can drink get together to eat, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of scene will appear at the whole dinner table.
No, when the time was ready and the meal was about to come up, a box of liquor was taken out and put aside, so that people could get it at hand. There is a glass in front of everyone, the glass is not too big, but it is not too small, one or two wines will never be full, and two or two wines will not go in.
With such a cup, it is unlikely that a bottle of liquor will be poured even after one turn, so only by opening the second bottle of liquor and waiting for two-thirds of the wine to be poured can it be regarded as pouring a glass of wine for everyone at the table.
Of course, because he is a student and is not yet an adult, Wu Ling can avoid the fate of being drunk. Chang Tao, who was not a few years older than Wu Ling, was a little unlucky, and poured a full glass of liquor, although Chang Tao kept refusing, but finally put it down, and his father spoke.
Drinking in the countryside is about the atmosphere, and eating at your own home cannot cool down the atmosphere. If you can't drink alcohol, you can drink a little less for a while, but if you don't have alcohol, other people will feel uncomfortable. Many rural people don't hide it, and once they feel unhappy, they will immediately say it.
As a natural solution that the host can solve, continue to drink, if you can't solve it, then the banquet will be unhappy. That's not all, after the next day, there will definitely be a lot of gossip in this house. If it were more serious, the reputation of the whole family would be ruined.
The countryside is not like the city, a person's reputation is not important, it is a big deal to live in another place, anyway, no one knows it. But it's not good in the countryside, almost no one wants to leave their hometown, so what does it mean to have a bad reputation?
No one wants to socialize, they can't hold their heads up in the village, and their children can't find a marriage partner, whether it's a man or a woman, once the family's reputation is bad, it's hard to find a marriage partner. Therefore, in rural areas, a person's reputation is often very important, and even many people value him more than life.
Uncle naturally didn't want to make himself unable to get off the stage because of a treat, so he drank and drank a little less.
After the dishes are served, the atmosphere is even more lively, with the sound of persuasion and shouting, and the atmosphere of the dinner table is quite strong. In the process, the wine in front of me unconsciously went down to the stomach. What surprised Wu Ling was that whether it was his uncle, who had always been very gentle, or his father, who didn't drink often, they were quite able to drink, and after a few glasses of wine, there was nothing to do.
When there is more wine, there are more words. It's not about your own children, it's about life situations. Of course, Wu Ling, who has an outstanding appearance and is coming back for the first time, is a topic at the dinner table many times. They are all relatives, and they won't say it even if they are jealous, so most of them are good things and quite envious.
When he hears others compliment his child, the father will behave modestly, saying that he can't praise the child, that he is not behaving well, or so on. After knowing Wu Ling's final results this time, he made others praise again and again.
Also, this time, Wu Ling has a certain reputation among the high school students in the entire Yulan City. It was not because he conquered other students with the piano in the city's choir competition, but because he was a sensation in the city's unified examination at the end of the semester and actually won the tenth grade.
After the results came out, Wu Ling himself was a little surprised. Naturally, it won't be because the grades are too good, but the grades are still a little different from what he imagined in his heart, and it seems to be a lot worse. In his heart, in the city's unified examination this time, although he didn't say that he won the first place directly, there should be no problem with the top three. But Wu Ling didn't expect that this time he had just entered the top ten, and he didn't even reach a single digit.
After all, it has been genetically strengthened so many times, and this enhancement is not only in the body, but also in the brain. Memory, analytical ability, and thinking ability have all been greatly improved. In addition, it is another year of high school, and the intensity of learning is still relatively low, and although Wu Ling has been reading novels, his grades in junior high school are quite good. Every time it is the top few in age, otherwise, it would not be possible to be admitted to the school of Thirteenth Middle School when there is almost no study for a year in the third year of junior high school.
The course in the first year of high school was not too difficult, and I used my current brain to study, but in the end, I didn't even get the first place. This also made Wu Ling put away that pride, in the entire Yulan City, although the other party is not a stranger, if he is too contemptuous, he will also fall.
It's nothing in learning, but if it's in other ways, then if you fall down once, you may lose your own life.
Of course, Wu Ling himself was a little dissatisfied, and while reflecting, the leaders of the Thirteenth Middle School couldn't believe their eyes when they received this unexpected result. After determining the correct surname of the grade, the teachers and leaders of the entire thirteenth middle school were boiling. Directly start vigorously publicizing, putting up banners, pulling pennants, and almost setting off firecrackers. And when Wu Ling got the report card, the teacher and the principal also came forward in person and had a very kind exchange with Wu Ling.
Let Wu Ling not be proud, study hard, and if you have any difficulties, you can go directly to them. Of course, there is also this year's scholarship, although it is not much, only a few thousand yuan, but it also proves that the school leaders attach importance to Wu Ling.
The reason why they are so excited is naturally because this achievement is also a great achievement for them. For the school, there is also a publicity aspect, the top ten in the city are in our school, what does it mean? It shows that our education is still very effective, otherwise we can cultivate a top ten students in the city. Since we can cultivate a student from the city's previous life, it also means that our education level is in the top ten in the city?
Defy? Then you have the ability to train a top ten student in the city. This kind of hooligan propaganda is really a disaster for those key middle schools. Although the overall quality of their students is much higher, there are really no top ten students in the city, and they have no way to object to this kind of hooliganism, so they can only bear it silently, which further aggravates the students' learning tasks. So for the culprit of this matter, many students hate Wu Ling so much.
And the results of the 13th Middle School this time really won them a lot of resources, and the leaders of the Education Bureau above also saw the results of the 13th Middle School, so they praised them by name. So taking care of nature has become natural, coupled with their publicity, as well as Wu Ling's later performance, they have won a lot of high-quality students. In this way, the ordinary Thirteen Middle School will gradually become unusual.
Especially in the first and third classes of high school where Wu Ling is located, because he has to compete with Wu Ling, many students are working hard silently. I can't compare to you on the piano, but I have to at least overpower you in my studies, with this idea. In this exam, the overall score of Wu Ling's class turned out to be quite good. has reached the level of ordinary classes in key high schools, and such results make the teachers in the class smile and can't close their mouths.
They know very well what this means, and with a little publicity, higher job titles and higher salaries are within their reach.
Of course, the leaders, the teachers are happy. Chang Huifang and Wu Xueqing will naturally be happier, so when visiting relatives and friends, when it comes to the children's achievements, they will proudly say Wu Ling's ranking, and every time they will get shocked and envious eyes, which makes Chang Huifang and Wu Xueqing look even happier, and they also have some pride in their hearts.
Looking at the proud eyes of his parents, Wu Ling didn't say much, but he inevitably made a decision in his heart that he would have to take the exam like this in the future. In his previous life, his grades were not good, and every time he talked about his grades, his parents didn't want to talk about it, and Wu Ling could see the gloom in his expression. Now that it is possible to make his parents more proud, Wu Ling feels that this is what he should do.
Sure enough, the slow topic led Wu Ling's results, and Wu Xueqing once again gained a burst of envious eyes, which made Wu Xueqing can't help but drink a few glasses of wine in a row, which is happy.
At the dinner table, Wu Ling didn't speak, just lowered his head and ate silently. Because of Wu Ling's grades, everyone knows that he is a good student, but no one advises him to drink. But Chang Tao on the side was a little unlucky, and he was poured several mouthfuls in a row, although he hadn't just fallen down, but Wu Ling could see that his eyes were a little blurred, and he was not far from getting drunk.
"Bang ......"
While eating silently, Wu Ling turned around abruptly and looked at the sky outside. In the distance, a huge firework slowly bloomed in the dark night sky, followed by countless fireworks streaked across the sky, instantly dyeing the sky colorful.
"Huh...... Why are fireworks only set off now, and it's not Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's not fifteen! What are you doing with fireworks now! One of the uncles who was on the side also saw the fireworks in the sky and couldn't help but say something strange.
"What's so strange about this, I guess someone is married!" The man sitting with him said casually.
Everyone nodded, there was really nothing strange about it. After all, it's the Chinese New Year, and there are still many people who specialize in getting married at this time. After all, getting married is a lively thing, more people are fun, and more people can also receive more red envelopes.
It's not too much of a problem to set off some fireworks when you get married, and besides, maybe it's someone else's preference, so it's not surprising. So looking at the fireworks, a group of people drank again.
Only Wu Ling looked at the fireworks blooming outside, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
