Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Smoke of Cremation

It's still the same driver from last time.

Seeing that it was Qi Lei who came to pick up the goods again, it was logical for him to take a ride back to Shangbei.

It was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Shangbei, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaobei came to pick up the car, and the brothers didn't toss to Grandpa Qi Lei, and went directly to the night market.

As usual, it was more than ten o'clock, and I came home in a stinky sweat, but I didn't have dinner at home.

On the first day of July, Qi Lei received two phone calls during the day.

One was called by Liu Zhuofu, the head teacher.

As soon as he answered the phone, it was Qi Lei, and he asked what was written in the composition of the high school entrance examination.

Qi Lei answered truthfully, "My Motherland"

The other end of the phone was silent for three seconds, and a sentence popped out, "What copied it?" ”

Qi Lei frowned, and found that things were not so simple.

He pondered for a while, "Teacher Liu, you know me, am I that kind of person?" Copy it to me with your eyes, I won't copy it! ”

Liu Zhuofu, "Well, indeed, you don't even bother to copy." ”

"I...."

Qi Lei choked, I'll tell you about ethics, you and I can't talk about habits, and we can't talk together.

"I really didn't copy it!"

"Tell me a rough picture of what you wrote."

When Qi Lei repeated the general content, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

"You really wrote this thing? Why am I so unbelieving? ”

Qi Lei is colorful, "Teacher Liu, the conscience of heaven and earth!" I didn't learn anything in the third year of junior high school, so I learned your Chinese seriously. ”

"You make it up again! Study hard, you will give me a dozen points in the test back? ”

Qi Lei: "I've accumulated a lot of hair, and I haven't sent it yet!" ”

"......" Liu Zhuofu said, "By the way, there is another thing, do you know whose composition in our class is "My Dad"? ”

Qi Lei looked confused, "I don't know." ”

"Then hang up!"

...

The second call was from English teacher Luo Yan.

The female teacher is much gentler than the male teacher, first asked Qi Lei what he was doing during the summer vacation, where he planned to play, went around a long circle, and finally got to the point:

"Who did you copy the English papers?"

"Huh... Huh!? Qi Lei was anxious, "Luo is beautiful, you can't talk nonsense if you are good-looking, I want to sue you for slander!" ”

Burst! Teacher Xiao Luo laughed out loud.

She has a good temper, and she usually mingles with her classmates in the class, but she didn't expect Qi Lei to come out with a beautiful sentence and good looks?

Is that how the little bastards in Class 5 nicknamed her?

Then teased, "Unlucky boy, you sue!" Tell you that you are down to business, and you are poor, say, copy or not? ”

Qi Lei was about to cry, and guessed that his English score should be not low, which made Teacher Luo suspicious.

Wailing: "O conscience of heaven and earth! We didn't learn anything in the third year of junior high school, so we memorized your English, and you still say that about me? ”

Luo Yan was furious, "Speak well!" If you memorize English, you will get more than a dozen points in the monthly exam? ”

Qi Lei, "I'm accumulating, I haven't sent it yet!" ”

"....." Luo Yan was silent, much stricter than Liu, and suddenly a sentence in English appeared.

As soon as Qi Lei heard it, he knew that it was a writing question in the English paper, and without hesitation for a second, he said his answer in fluent English.

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, "You really studied hard?" ”

"Really!"

"That's fine." Luo Yan put her mind at ease, "As long as it's not copied." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

It's inexplicable, are you all so annoying as teachers? Can't make it clear?

……

In the next few days, the brothers did what they should do during the day, and they went out at night, and the sales were also more or less.

When there are more than 400, when there are few, there are about 200, and the average is also very considerable.

During this period, Tang Yi and Wu Ning gradually adapted to the daily life of setting up stalls, no longer covering baseball caps and big sunglasses, and began to meet people generously.

The two of them also thought clearly, buddy, this is not a shame, buddy, this is awesome!

Which classmates and friends can spend the money they earn? Don't you all reach out and take care of the house? Even with Tang Xiaoyi, he is much more hardened to spend money now, and he is beautiful in his heart.

It's strange to say that so far, no acquaintance has recognized my brother.

Maybe you can't see clearly under the dark lights of the night market, or maybe you don't think about it at all.

Fortunately, Qi Lei has a little transparent taste at school. But Tang Yi and Wu Ning are both celebrities, and they know more or less about the situation at home.

Let them set up a stall? Unlikely. Even if it looks familiar, no one dares to recognize it.

July 5th, the tenth day after the end of the high school entrance examination, happened to be a Sunday.

Originally, Guo Lihua was going to be on duty at the unit today, and at least she had to report to the unit. But he deliberately found someone to change shifts and stayed at home early in the morning.

The other two are similar, Tang Chenggang didn't go to the factory today, Wu Lianshan and Dong Xiuhua also pushed all the entertainment, and they all stayed at home and waited for it!

Well, today is the day when the high school entrance examination results are released.

In the Harbin area, at 10 a.m. on July 5, a telephone score check will be opened.

Don't look at the group of parents who don't seem to care after the exam, in fact, their hearts have long been like cat scratches, just wait for today to see.

Even if Qi Guojun and Guo Lihua knew that Qi Lei's miserable results were not worth waiting for.

But... What if? There was a little bit of luck in my heart.

The atmosphere of the three families is a little depressing, and the brothers and sisters don't dare to breathe at home.

To be honest, Qi Lei was also nervous at this time.

He already had a rough estimate of the score, but he was still apprehensive.

Although in the eyes of many people, education is not a necessary means for a reborn person to advance in life. But Qi Lei doesn't think so, campus time is the most precious youth memory for anyone.

He didn't want to miss even a single thing again.

Moreover, the problem of academics is far more meaningful to parents than to Revival himself.

Chinese parents can't wait to devote their lives to their children.

In their eyes, at this age, no matter how much money Qi Lei earns, no matter how sensible and obedient he is, it is far less precious than the first place in the exam.

If they were given a choice, they would not hesitate to choose the latter.

In the previous life, Qi Lei's sixteen years old made his parents very disappointed, even desperate.

In this life, as a son, he wants to make amends.

As soon as the wall clock on the wall passed 9:55, there was no sound in the small living room of the Qi family.

Guo Lihua turned off the TV, and Qi Guojun sat on the sofa, his hands unconsciously crossed together. The thumb is hard, and I don't know what I'm rubbing.

In the house, you can only hear the cicadas chirping outside the window, and the wall clock ticking through the minutes.

Qi Lei couldn't stand it anymore, and squeezed out a smile, "Dad, why don't I go out first?" I'm afraid of being embarrassed. ”

turned to Guo Lihua, "Mom, have we hidden all the broom heads?" Don't be happy to do it for a while! ”

However, it wasn't funny at all, Qi's father and Qi's mother just glared at him coldly and didn't speak.

Qi Leiden shut up.

And Qi Guojun's appearance of watching his son trying to ease the atmosphere was clumsy and ridiculous, and it was a little unpleasant.

With a long sigh, "Eh! ”

Or the same sentence, "What did you do earlier?" ”
