The continuous rain in early July, the old principal's blurted out the ardent anticipation, which woke Zhou Jiao up for a while. After a cold, she took the opportunity to rest at home completely.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not. The foresight is not far away, and the car will follow the track. ”

This timeless quote made Zhou Jiao deeply realize that she didn't need to be perfect in everything. She needs more time to think deeply about a degree, a degree that can put herself in the middle.

For three consecutive days, Zhou Jiao played chess in the study whenever she was free, meditating alone. Later, with Zhang Guoqing's consent, she carried her luggage alone and set foot in the provincial capital in the rain.

For a whole week, Zhou Jiao traveled all over the campuses of major universities in the provincial capital and blended in. When she returned to the county, the time was close to the college entrance examination.

Zhang Guoqing finally looked forward to getting back his wife, looking at Zhou Jiao who seemed to be reborn, he thought that Zhou Jiao should have gained a lot from this spiritual journey.

On July 20, the old principal and two teachers took a group of candidates to the provincial capital one day earlier. Similarly, on this afternoon, Zhou Xiaozheng put down his official duties and arrived in the provincial capital by military plane.

For Zhou Xiaozheng, as a father, it is a lifelong regret that he did not participate in the growth of his children. In this college entrance examination, he hopes to see his child walk into the examination room with his own eyes.

After Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhao Chuanguang converged, he asked Zhou Jiao about his recent emotions, and when he learned about the child's behavior some time ago, he pondered and smiled.

Soon, the two borrowed a car and drove to the county seat, and when they saw Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, they learned that the school had gone to the provincial capital in advance, and the father and daughter passed by.

After several people discussed, they decided to rush to the provincial capital overnight with Zhang's father and Zhang's mother with Xiao Ping'an, and go outside the examination room early tomorrow morning. This decision was happy to be peaceful, hugging Zhou Xiaozheng's neck and smirking all the time.

With Ping'an's company, Zhou Xiaozheng was not in a hurry to find Zhou Jiao. Knowing some news from the little guy's mouth made him even more reassured.

After a night, Zhou Jiao carefully checked the admission tickets and examination room supplies of the two, followed Zhang Guoqing and them out of the dormitory building, and a huge surprise came to them.

She didn't expect her dad to come over. She didn't care about her classmates watching the jokes, and pounced forward happily. Zhou Xiaozheng's arrival made her surprised and guilty.

Taking advantage of Zhang's father and their greetings with teachers and classmates, Zhou Jiao secretly told Zhou Xiaozheng that she did not plan to fight for the champion this time. Ask him if he will be disappointed?

Zhou Xiaozheng touched her head and asked her in a low voice, how sure are you that you will enter the first choice? Will it be self-defeating? Do you need him to do anything?

Zhou Jiao looked confident, saying that she was in control. She didn't spend all this time on campus. The basic score has a budget in mind.

Father and daughter smiled at each other. Because the exam time is approaching, the father and daughter have no way to talk in detail, so they can only make an appointment to finish the exam in the morning and take the time to chat.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaozheng didn't dare to tell the child that he would rush back to the unit in the afternoon.

Sixty-two students, not a single parent accompanied. The arrival of Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao's family and friend group is too grand and makes people look sideways. Especially Zhou Xiaozheng's military rank, and the two guards who followed him, made the school leaders in the examination room even more nervous.

Zhou Xiaozheng secretly annoyed that he had miscalculated, worried about the bad impact. can only leave Zhao Chuanguang to deal with it, and he took his in-laws and grandson to get in the car and leave. If his Jiaojiao knew, it would be worth it.

After the exam in the morning, the couple left the examination room in advance, whispered hello to the old principal, and followed Xiao Wang to find Zhou Xiaozheng and his gang.

Everyone chatted a few words, and Zhou Xiaozheng knew that his daughter and son-in-law had to rush back to accompany the classmates to dinner. Seeing that the time was not early, he instructed Zhou Jiao a few words, so that they could set off after receiving the notice.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao nodded.

Before parting, Zhou Xiaozheng asked them to take the exam with peace of mind, and then ignore the admission issue. He has to rush back today, and some of the remaining details will be discussed in the letter later.

will get together soon, and this time the two father and daughter are much more emotionally stable, which makes Zhang Guoqing feel relieved. Entrusting parents and children to Zhao Chuanguang, he pulled Zhou Jiao up and said goodbye to everyone.

Zhao Chuanguang watched them leave, patted Zhou Xiaozheng, who was standing still, and pulled him into the car.

The sound of the car moving away came, and Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao walked out of the corner. They watched the car disappear and smiled at each other before turning away.

Just now, the couple was worried that the child would cry, but they didn't expect everything to be normal. At this moment, the two of them are finally relieved - if they are not parents, they really can't understand the concern for their children.

The old principal saw the little couple running and pointed to the front, "There are still people who haven't come out yet, so wait." Why don't you go back to your parents at noon and come over in the afternoon? ”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly shook her head, she didn't want to be special. If she had known that her father was coming, she would have waited at the gate and would not let a group of them in. Many classmates looked at her differently just now. The image she's been trying to create may be gone.

Zhang Guoqing said with a smile: "My father-in-law has to rush back in the afternoon, and now they have left." It's a good environment, and we're still going on as usual. ”

Zhou Jiao listened to their chat, and when she saw that Zhao Yuanyuan had not come out, she frowned slightly. It stands to reason that these papers are not very esoteric.

When the bell rang, Zhao Yuanyuan came out with her head down, came to Zhou Jiao, and looked at her sadly.

Zhou Jiao didn't ask, and pulled her to walk with her, answering the gossip of her classmates. I finally came to the cafeteria, and it was much cleaner.

During the three-day examination, the school canteen prepared a lot of sorghum rice, corn porridge, wowotou, sorghum flour cake and other miscellaneous grains in a very humane manner, and the price of the dishes was cheaper than usual.

It doesn't cost much to get a couple of people together. Among the classmates, those who were from poor families and brought their own dry food were also pulled by Zhang Guoqing and the others to eat together.

In several girls' dormitories, everyone secretly ventilated and planned to buy more dry food to take home on the third day. Zhou Jiao didn't know if they succeeded later, because only one lunch meal was served on the third day.

Zhou Xiao was leaving, and the sky, which had not rained for a day, began to pour again. Zhang Guoqing joked that this time the father and daughter parted without tears, and they couldn't even stand it.

Zhou Jiao grabbed him hard and sighed. It has been raining since the end of June, and I don't know if the old captain is sad again.

He didn't return to his hometown for more than a month, and Zhang Guoqing didn't know the specific situation. The provincial capital is better, and a lot of the ground in the county is waterlogged. He was worried about how long this rain would be?

As soon as the three-day exam was over, everyone originally made an appointment to visit the provincial capital. But out of the examination room, the pouring rain outside made everyone feel their appetite, and everyone's change of clothes smelled of it, and they couldn't wait to go home first.

As soon as he returned to the county, Zhang Guoqing didn't care about saying a few more words to everyone, and hurried home with an umbrella to protect Zhou Jiao. The child hasn't seen it for the past two days, and I don't know what happened.

Before the couple arrived at the door of the house, they saw Ping'an's small body shrunk there under the eaves at the gate, and Zhang's father and mother next to him held an umbrella to cover him.

Zhou Jiao didn't know what mood she was in at the moment. Distress, anger, sadness, surprise, all of these welled up in her heart, making her teary-eyed.

She blinked vigorously and hugged her son tightly, but could only sigh after all.
