Time has passed rapidly, six weeks have passed since the start of the second semester of the third year of high school, and now the college entrance examination is less than three months away.

Zhou Hao's academic performance improved, and he was naturally praised by the teacher, and he almost entered the top 100 from the bottom of the age ranking, and his progress speed was the fastest in Wushi No. 1 Middle School.

However, Zhou Hao's mentality is very stable, and he gradually improves his performance at his own pace.

"Mom, I'm back. Zhou Hao walked into his home, and then entered the room and began to study.

With the passage of time, his physique is getting better and better, and his own state is getting better and better, and he can learn twice the result with half the effort.

After more than twenty minutes, Zhou Hao heard the sound outside, and he knew that his father had returned.

However, Zhou Hao continued to study, and the test results were reported to his parents at mealtime.

"Is Zhou Jiadong here?", suddenly, an ordinary voice sounded.

Zhou Hao heard this voice, but he instantly understood who had arrived.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. Outside, Zhou Jiadong's voice rang out.

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and walked out directly.

In the small living room, in addition to Zhou Jiadong and Wang Lan, there was also a middle-aged man who looked chubby.

Chen Jian, the landlord of the house where Zhou Jiadong's family lives, when he comes here, there is almost only one thing, and that is to collect rent.

"Zhou Jiadong, living here, rent once every three months, your rent here is 1,700 yuan per month, and now you need to pay me 5,100 yuan. Chen Jian politely said two sentences and said directly.

"Mr. Chen, I only have 4,600 yuan here, can the remaining 500 yuan be postponed for a while?", Zhou Jiadong said, Wang Lan handed him some money, and then he wanted to hand it to Chen Jian.

"Zhou Jiadong, you also know that the house price has risen sharply now, and a random room outside is more than 600,000 yuan, you have rented here for more than ten years, I have only increased the rent twice, if you don't want to rent, there are still many people waiting to rent. Chen Jian said with a frown.

"Mr. Chen, you also know my work, and the payment on the construction site is not punctual, you see...", Zhou Jiadong said a little embarrassed.

Life has made him, an iron-clad man, bend his body.

"I don't care if you pay on time on the construction site, a week later, the remaining 500 yuan will be handed over to me, in addition, the rent for the next three months, the rent will all be increased to 1900 yuan per month, Zhou Jiadong, I know that your children are in the third year of high school, life is not easy, don't say that I squeeze you, you can ask, the rent of all the tenants around has risen." Chen Jian took the 4,600 yuan in Zhou Jiadong's hand and said directly.

"Okay, okay, it's 1,900 yuan a month. Zhou Jiadong said with a smile.

Chen Jian glanced at the house, then at Zhou Hao, and then walked out.

Inside the house, there were only three people left.

"Dad. Zhou Hao looked at his father, and his heart was complicated.

"Xiao Hao, let's eat. Zhou Jiadong glanced at his son and sighed.

"Lao Zhou, the remaining 500 yuan, I will borrow it from my eldest brother. At the dinner table, Wang Lan looked at Zhou Jiadong.

"No, you've already suffered so much with me, I don't want to be wronged by my mother's family. Zhou Jiadong shook his head and said: "The boss still has my salary of nearly 8,000 yuan, and I will tell my boss that 500 yuan can still be withdrawn first." ”

Zhou Hao listened silently to the conversation of his parents.

His family was originally in the countryside, the family was poor, his father Zhou Jiadong had a junior high school education, and his mother Wang Lan didn't even finish elementary school.

For example, Zhou Jiadong has been working on the construction site, sometimes working directly in the air on dozens of floors, which is very dangerous, his mother helps wash dishes in some restaurants, although the money earned is okay, but the family's expenses are very large, and Zhou Jiadong's salary cannot be paid in time, so life is tight.

If wages are not paid on time, it will be difficult to pay the rent.

Zhou Hao knows the three wishes that his parents crave the most, one is to find Zhou Yue, the second is that he can be admitted to a key university, and the third is to have a house that truly belongs to him.

"Old Zhou, then the next thing about the rent increase...", Wang Lan looked at Zhou Jiadong and said.

"This rent increase is inevitable, almost all the tenants around have risen, and Chen Jian only raised the rent at the end, which is already preferential treatment for us. Zhou Jiadong shook his head and said: "In the past, we also owed rent several times, although Chen Jian said some, but we made up later, and he didn't say anything." ”

Zhou Jiadong and Wang Lan talked for a few words, then turned their heads to look at Zhou Hao, and said, "Xiao Hao, have you come down with the results of the mock exam?"

"Mom, Dad, this time I took the fifth place in the class and the 101st in my age. ", Zhou Hao said. He returned to his room and took out his test papers.

"Good. Zhou Jiadong showed a smile on his face, and his rough hands looked at the test papers, trembling slightly.

Wang Lan was also full of smiles.

Wushi No. 1 Middle School is a key high school, and with Zhou Hao's results, as long as he keeps it, he will definitely be able to be admitted to a key university. Then their wish can be considered as a fulfillment.

"Dad, Mom, tomorrow is a day off at school, and I want to go out to work to earn some money. Zhou Hao looked at his parents and said seriously.

His words fell, but the smiles on Zhou Jiadong and Wang Lan's faces disappeared.

"You are in the third year of high school now, what kind of job do you have?", Zhou Jiadong frowned, and said: "When it comes to rent and other money, your mother and I will solve it, what you need to do now is to maintain such grades and be admitted to a good university." ”

"Yes, Xiaohao, you don't have to worry about money. Wang Lan also said.

Zhou Hao wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhou Jiadong and said: "Xiao Hao, there is no need to say much about part-time work, there is only one thing you have to do now, and that is to study." ”

In the eyes of Zhou Jiadong and Wang Lan, only study is the only way out, and after graduating from a good university, they will have a good job in the future, and even find Zhou Yue. No matter how hard and tired they are, they can't delay their children's learning.

Zhou Hao had to suppress the thoughts in his heart.

After eating, when he returned to his room, Zhou Hao sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to do the first pattern movement in his mind.

For more than a month, he absorbed the strange light points twice a day, with an interval of about ten hours.

Subsequently, Zhou Hao began to do test papers and synthesize various knowledge. Books are the foundation, and if you want to get a high score, you also need to be familiar with many problem-solving ideas.

After twelve o'clock, Zhou Hao maintained the first pattern action and fell into a deep sleep.
