Those who didn't take the exam cried, and only three of the more than 60 children in the village could go to be reserve councilors.

And it is still unknown whether these reserve legislators will be able to stay in the future.

Elyk didn't know how to coax these classmates who were his age.

The top five are, Laida, Hill, Elek, Pugin, and Yukuse.

The rest of the children were taken away by their parents, and the top five and top 10 children were found jobs a week before the exams, either to apprentice as a mechanic or to go home and learn to farm for their families.

Laida, Hill, and Elyk were all there, looking at their results and expressing their joy.

The usual first is Pugin, but this time it is abnormal.

You Haose, who is usually third, also frowned, and kept looking directly at Elyk's side.

Pugin's parents weren't there, and Yukuse's parents saw Elyk and dragged him away.

Pugin walked slowly towards Elyk, and Laida and Ciel's parents pulled the two away.

Alek greeted him, not knowing how to express his mouth and said, "Why did you make a mistake! I couldn't believe it. ”

Pugin asked, "What about your parents?" ”

"My parents went back to deliver the news, and I guess the whole family will come over later." Elyk smiled.

Pujin pointed to the back of the banyan tree in the village next to him: "Come with me, I have something to tell you." Although your family may not want you to hear it, I intend to tell you the truth. I'm leaving the village soon, anyway. I may have to go to Fischer Village to work. ”

"You're from our village? If you don't stay in our village, you want to go to another village? Alek followed Pugin, puzzled.

When Pugin and Elek arrived under the big banyan tree, Pugin spoke slowly, "You know, I don't have parents. At the age of six, they died. I grew up eating 100 family meals, everyone also took good care of me, and I was also very competitive, this time if I didn't empty two big questions and didn't do it, you wouldn't have a chance to be the third. Laida and Hill can't be the first or second. ”

"What do you mean? You deliberately gave up two big questions? Alek froze.

"Your parents and Laida and Hill's parents, the three of them put together a sum of money. It was divided proportionally among the other seven children. The top ten children, except for the three of you, all received a sum of money and asked for the last two questions. This money is enough for other families to spend a few years smaller. I didn't ask for it at the time, but Laida's father said that if I wanted to do well in the exam, then he might not even give me the opportunity to take the exam. And even if I get in, the poor boy will not have a chance to become a councilor. Your dad is right, I can't help but take the money, according to them. The fourth-place result, plus 30,000 Mozambique, is enough for one person to mix in other villages a profession that is no worse than that of a parliamentarian. Pugin explained.

"What's the situation?" Elyk said puzzled.

"The last two answers were twenty points, and my final score was eighty points. Logically I should have been able to get 100 points, but I gave up. Pugin explained.

Alek was stunned when he heard this: "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Pugin smiled, "I just wanted to remind you of the mistakes that Laida and Hill may make in the future. I don't know if other villages, towns, or towns will have this way of cheating, but you weren't really in the top three at the time. In the future, when parliamentarians are elected, they may all be smarter than you. So don't be conceited, otherwise it's easy to suffer. Elek, your level should only be fifth to seventh. ”

"This?" Elyk was stunned.

"I've just figured it out, I hope you can listen to me? Actually, I once wanted to be a member of Parliament. But in fact, if I can really go, the most I will do is to make friends somewhere. You may not be able to become a councillor. But if you can meet a few good friends in it, you won't waste the money your parents spent on you. After all, do you think you can really compare to the children of those powerful families? Will it be the same as me in the future, if you really work hard to the last step, people will stuff hundreds of thousands of dollars and make you retreat? Ruijin turned around and left.

Elyk fell into deep thought.

"By the way, I wish you all the best in the future." Pugin turned and walked towards the outside of the village.

Elyk also wanted to catch up and ask for an understanding, but Elyk's parents and grandfather behind him shouted Elyk's name.

Alek had no choice but to walk back, and the family looked at the names on the list.

"Is that Pugin? What did he tell you? Mother asked alarmedly.

"Huh? He wished me all the best for the future. Erick replied, trying to keep his emotions in check.

The village chief arrived, and Laida, Ciel, and Elyk stood in front of the village chief.

The village chief smiled and gave a metal brooch, which is a symbol of the reservists.

The village chief talked eloquently, saying that there were three handsome men in the village.

After a compliment, he said that the trainee reservists in the village all need to go to the capital for training, and there will be a carriage passing by within an hour, which is a carriage dedicated to collecting talents from the village. And said that there is no need to bring clothes, and there will be a uniform when you get to the place.

Laida and Hill's parents told their children to be careful on the road and other things.

Elyk's mother took out a bag of money, handed it to Elek and said, "If someone asks you for money on the road, give it to him, and you have to check it up and down." Be sure to leave a little extra money for your teacher at the end. Make it easy for the teacher! ”

"The First Evolution"

Erick was stunned and didn't want to take it, but his mother had already tied the money bag around Erick's waist.

Father and grandfather told some things that they didn't have, and said that the future of the family was counting on them.

That's not how Elek thinks!

He is only a fifth, and he is logically not qualified to be a trainee councilor. After I went, I met all the smart people, what should I do when the time comes? What will happen?

Alek was still thinking when the carriage came.

The luxurious three carriages, arranged in one, two, and three.

The sign on it had the name of the village written on it, as well as the students' scores.

Erick's total score was eighty-one, and the first and second were ninety-one and eighty-five, respectively.

Elyk asked the village chief in a low voice, "What score is Pugin?" ”

The village chief put on the glass lenses, looked at the form and said, "Eighty points, what's wrong?" ”

What Pugin said is true! Everything is true. The last two 20 questions are deliberately not done! Alek reacted, and his full strength was only one point higher than Pugin, who had given up on two big questions.

Gap! That's the absolute gap.

And no matter how smart Pugin is, he will be his companion on the road of competition in the future.

So Pugin's reminder was right, and it made Elyk recognize himself.

After getting into the carriage, the family chased all the way behind until they couldn't catch up.

The carriage was small, with only one man's place, and Elek sat in it in a state of flux, during which he heard Laida and Hill shouting Pugin's name.
