Chapter 583 The college entrance examination resumes, 'stupid' Zheng Juan

It is still very rare to have guests at home at night.

Zhou Chen recognized two of them with just one glance. They turned out to be Xiao Guoqing's mother and Wu Qian. Besides, there were two other people, a man and a woman.

"This is?"

Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, Zheng Juan shook her head.

"I don't know, Mom and Guangming took Ruirui and Yueyue out."

When Wu Qian and the others saw Zhou Chen coming back, they also stood up. Wu Qian said hello first: "Bingkun, you are back."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then said to Xiao Guoqing's mother, "Ma'am, Wu Qian, who are you?"

Wu Qian didn't speak, but Xiao Guoqing's mother suddenly bowed to Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, Madam came here today to ask for your help."

When Zhou Chen heard it, he immediately asked suspiciously: "Did something happen on the National Day?"

Wu Qian said quickly, "National Day is fine."

"That?"

Wu Qian glanced at her mother-in-law, but said nothing, but Zhou Chen also understood, and looked at Xiao Guoqing's mother.

"Auntie, sit down, what's the matter, sit down and say, Juan'er, go and pour tea for the auntie and the others."

Mother Xiao quickly waved her hand: "No, no, Bingkun, we've already had a drink."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then asked: "Ma'am, if you have anything to say, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

He already had a guess in his heart that Xiao Guoqing probably didn't know about it, otherwise, the person who came must not be Xiao Guoqing's mother.

Mother Xiao asked cautiously: "Bingkun, I heard from Guoqing and Qian'er that you work in a publishing house, right?"

"Correct."

Xiao's mother showed a flattering smile on her face, and then said: "Bingkun, the aunt just said it straight. This is his second sister and second brother-in-law on National Day. His second brother-in-law graduated from junior high school and is educated. You are in the publishing house. As a cadre, can you please find him a job in a publishing house?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen suddenly showed a surprised expression, surprised that Xiao's mother actually made this request, but he quickly reacted and recovered his calm expression.

"Ma'am, I'm really sorry, if you came over a few months ago, maybe I could help you to take a look, but now, I'm no longer the deputy editor, I'm just an ordinary editor, I don't have this right at all, even I I may lose this job at any time, so I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this job."

Xiao's mother and the others were shocked when they heard this, and Wu Qian asked impatiently: "Bingkun, what's going on here, aren't you a good deputy editor? ?”

Zhou Chen sighed helplessly: "Who can say for sure about work, aunt, I really can't help you with this matter."

Mother Xiao and her daughter and son-in-law looked at each other, unable to hide their disappointment. They didn't think that Zhou Chen would lie to them, because there was no need for it, and this was something that could be known after a little inquiring.

Xiao Guoqing's second sister asked hesitantly: "Bingkun, you have worked in the publishing house for so many years, and you must know a lot of people. Could you please introduce the leaders of the publishing house? I can write articles."

Zhou Chen froze for a moment, he had already said it very bluntly, why couldn't Xiao Guoqing's second sister understand?

Although he and Xiao Guoqing were young, he really didn't have any impression of his sister. As for Xiao Guoqing's brother-in-law, he didn't know anything about it.

Who can't write articles, but being able to write doesn't mean they can write well. It's not that he looks down on this person. After graduating from junior high school, how good articles can he write?

He didn't want to be too straightforward with what he said just now, it would make everyone look bad, but it seems that Xiao Guoqing's second sister is as good as Wu Qian, and has no vision.

"Second sister, I have become a small editor now because I have no good relationship with the leader. If I go to the leader, there may be hope, but it will really become hopeless."

Second sister Xiao Guoqing's face was a bit ugly. As for her man, he sat there without saying a word, and Zhou Chen sneered in his heart.

This man, when he saw him just now, his face was full of smiles;

Now that he is not a cadre and can't help, his expression immediately becomes indifferent, what a f*cking reality.

If it wasn't for Xiao Guoqing's face, he would have kicked them out directly.

Wu Qian, who usually doesn't have much eyesight, did have a lot of eyesight at this time, and she suddenly stood up.

"Mom, Second Sister, it's getting late, National Day and Dad are still waiting for us to go back to make dinner, let's go back first."

This trip, she actually didn't want to come, because even if this matter is done, she won't get any benefits.

And Xiao Guoqing, the second sister and second brother-in-law, she also knows the virtues very well. Before she came, she knew that this matter would not work.

Xiao's mother was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Guoqing's sister and brother-in-law were very straightforward. They stood up, said a word, and left.

After they all left, even Zheng Juan, who had a particularly good temper, couldn't help saying: "Who are you, Bingkun, don't be angry."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I just think it's funny."

It's really funny to encounter such a thing, but there are everyone in this world, so there is no need to make a fuss.

He quickly forgot about it, but the next day, Xiao Guoqing found him in person and apologized to him very ashamedly. No matter what Zhou Chen said, he still apologized, which finally made Zhou Chen feel embarrassed.

A month later, Zhou Chen drank with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao again. While drinking, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao got a little bit hot and started to vent.

"Kun'er, you don't know, what those people in the optical film said to you now, we heard it, and we were so angry that our teeth hurt, who the hell are you?"

Sun Chanchao took a sip of his wine and patted the table with a flushed face.

Although Zhou Chen and his family have moved away from the optical film, there are many topics about them, especially not long ago, when they learned that Zhou Chen's cadres were pulled down, they suddenly became the seventh eldest sister of the optical film Auntie's gossip theme.

In the past, when Zhou Chen was good, there were naturally all kinds of good words and praises, but now that Zhou Chen has become worse, all kinds of unsavory words came out.

As Zhou Chen's childhood, Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing, who had been helped by Zhou Chen, were naturally very angry. At the beginning, they helped Zhou Chen to slander those people a few words, but soon found that Mao was useless. People still gossip like that.

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "What do you care about those rumors, I don't live by them."

Xiao Guoqing was full of guilt: "Kun'er, this matter is still my fault. If it weren't for my sister and the others, your story would not have spread so quickly."

Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "It's a long time ago, why are you still talking about it, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I'm just upset, and feel aggrieved for you." Xiao Guoqing said indignantly.

Sun Chanchao said to Zhou Chen: "Kun'er, do you know that the reason why this matter spread so quickly has a lot to do with Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao? Qiao Chunyan's mother talked a lot about it. They program you."

Xiao Guoqing also said: "Now we compare you with Qiao Chunyan in the optical film. In the past, you were the deputy editor and a cadre, and Qiao Chunyan was just a pedicure; but now that you are down, Qiao Chunyan is just gone. Fortunately, I became the deputy director of women, and now I am a celebrity in optical film."

Zhou Chen asked, "Qiao Chunyan got promoted?"

He had seen this on TV, so he wasn't surprised.

"Yeah, their family is very proud now, and Cao Debao is even more aggressive. Those who don't know think he has become a cadre."

Sun Chanchao's tone was very strange. He was both unhappy, envious, and even a trace of remorse.

Zhou Chen could understand his thoughts, it was nothing more than that he didn't marry Qiao Chunyan at the beginning, and ended up taking advantage of that kid Cao Debao in the end.

Who would have thought that a pedicure worker in a bathhouse could reach the sky in one step and become the director of women, which is a bit unreal.

Zhou Chen comforted: "There is no need to envy others, and don't just see her current beauty. Believe me, you will have a chance to be better than her in the future."

Both Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao laughed. Although they were not confident, they were also looking forward to it.

"Then we will lend you a good word."

Zhou Chen smiled, and in all fairness, these two people treated him well, as long as their minds remained the same in the future, he would definitely take care of them.

With his ability, as long as he takes care of Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chaochao a little bit, they will definitely live better than Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao.

In the autumn of 76, Zheng Juan gave birth to Zhou Chen's second child. To Zhou Chen's disappointment, the second child turned out to be a boy again, and it was not a good combination.

The second child, Zhou Chen didn't argue with Li Suhua either, so the name was decided to be Zhou Cong, the name left by Zhou Zhigang before he left.

When Zhou Zhigang left, he chose two names specifically for his unborn grandson, one male and one female.

Zheng Juan gave birth to a boy, so the name she chose was naturally Zhou Cong.

Zheng Juan, who has her second child, is obviously busier. There are three children in the family, and fortunately, Li Suhua and Zheng Guangming are there to help. Otherwise, if she is alone, she will definitely be very busy.

The time has entered 77 years. This year, Zhou Chen has lived a very stable life. Except for one more person in the family, everything is living in an orderly manner.

A few months ago, Zhou Rong sent a letter saying that Feng Huacheng had been released.

The reason why Feng Huacheng was released was also related to national policies.

Also in this new year, the country is quietly changing, and the changes are very large.

During this period, Hao Dongmei went back to Jichun, and came to Zhou's house, visited Li Suhua, and brought gifts to the newborn Zhou Cong.

The reason why Hao Dongmei got the chance to come back was because her parents were rehabilitated and resumed their jobs. Now her father is a high-ranking official in the province, basically the top leader, and her mother was also reinstated.

With this pair of parents of senior provincial officials, Hao Dongmei's life is naturally much easier. If she hadn't wanted to accompany Zhou Bingyi, she might have been transferred back to Jichun long ago.

Seeing Hao Dongmei again, Zhou Chen could clearly feel the change in her. She became more confident and her temperament improved. This is the external change brought about by the change of mood.

The summer of this year has soon entered. At this time, rumors have spread in the country that the country intends to resume the college entrance examination. It may be nearly one or two years at the earliest. This has brought huge shocks to the entire country's education circle.

Many schools have resumed teaching, but more schools are still on the sidelines.

Zhou Chen's second son, Zhou Cong, was also weaned at this time. Zheng Juan was feeding him, while Zhou Rui and Feng Yue were playing beside him.

After Zheng Juan finished feeding and handed Zhou Cong to Guangming, Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, do you want to go to college?"

"the University?"

Zheng Juan was stunned when she heard Zhou Chen's words. This word was too far away for her, and she had never thought about it.

"Why go to college? I'm already a mother of two."

Zhou Chen rubbed her forehead with a smile, and said: "No one stipulates that you can't go to college if you have a child, so just tell me, if you have the opportunity to go to college, would you like to go to college?"

"I do not know."

Zheng Juan shook her head, she really didn't know, because she didn't have this concept.

"Bingkun, isn't it that you can't go to college now? Why do you ask me that?"

Zhou Chen said: "Because the country will soon announce that the college entrance examination will be resumed. At that time, many people will be allowed to take the college entrance examination. Although your conditions are not enough, if you think of a way, it should be able to work."

In 77, the college entrance examination was resumed. Farmers, workers, etc., can take part in it, even if they are around 30 years old, they can also take the college entrance examination.

Zheng Juan is a graduate of elementary school, so it is reasonable to say that she does not meet the requirements, but it is a matter of human effort, as long as she wants to take the exam, Zhou Chen can still think of a way.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Juan shook her head and said, "Even if the college entrance examination is resumed, it has nothing to do with me. I don't have the ability to pass the exam."

Zhou Chen said: "I can help you and teach you. There are still a few months left, so I should be able to catch up."

"But I really can't, I haven't studied for a few years..."

Zheng Juan didn't have any confidence at all, but Zhou Chen didn't give her any room to refuse, and said directly: "How can you know if you haven't tried it? In this way, starting tomorrow, you will learn from me for a few days, and I will see how your background is." .”

Zheng Juan didn't want to learn, but she couldn't hold back Zhou Chen, so she could only agree with a bitter face in the end.

When Zhou Chen said it was ambitious and full of confidence, but three days later.

Zhou Chen stood in the yard outside the door, his chest heaved and heaved, his breathing became heavy, and his face was expressionless. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

Zheng Juan walked out of the room cautiously, took small steps, walked lightly behind Zhou Chen, lowered her head, reached out and gently pulled Zhou Chen's clothes.

"Bingkun, I'm sorry."

Zhou Chen was still expressionless and silent.

Zheng Juan said aggrievedly again: "I'm too stupid, I'm sorry, don't be angry."

Zhou Chen hummed: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself, I'm useless, I can't teach you, I'm stupid, I'm stupid."

Thinking of the three days of teaching Zheng Juan, Zhou Chen felt a strong sense of frustration. He had also tutored his own children in the past, and even he was quite angry.

Teaching Zheng Juan feels like teaching children, even more difficult.

Because children's learning thinking and thoughts are not fixed yet, and Zheng Juan is 26 years old, and she has already had her own fixed thinking and thinking ability.

So in the process of learning, Zheng Juan couldn't turn the corner a lot of the time. No matter how Zhou Chen taught her, she couldn't do it. If she learned it in the morning, she might forget it at noon, and most of the time, she couldn't learn it at all.

After three days of teaching, Zhou Chen felt several times more tired than he did three days of hard work. His blood pressure has been soaring all the time, and he roared a lot.

As a result, Zhou Rui and Feng Yue have been hiding in Guangming and Li Suhua's room for the past three days, and they dare not approach Zhou Chen at all.

Li Suhua even reprimanded Zhou Chen for three consecutive days, telling him not to go crazy.

Today is the third day, Zhou Chen can't hold on anymore, he needs someone to calm down, he has been standing in the yard for nearly an hour regardless of the hot temperature outside.

"Bingkun, I know I was wrong. I will study tomorrow, no, I will study hard tonight, I will..."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Chen quickly interrupted: "Juan'er, please forgive me, stop studying, don't need to study, I have recognized the reality, some things cannot be forced, I accept my fate, you are this, I accept it."

He gave Zheng Juan a thumbs up.

"You really don't want to learn?"

Zheng Juan suddenly showed surprise, but when she saw Zhou Chen's dark face, she immediately covered her mouth and argued, "Bingkun, listen to me, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"Don't say it, or I'm afraid I can't help but beat you up, you go into the room quickly, I want to calm down for a while."

If it was normal, Zheng Juan would definitely not leave, but now, she turned around and left, for fear that Zhou Chen would repent and let her continue studying.

Zheng Juan's actions made Zhou Chen sigh heavily: "It's a crime."

It's really uncomfortable to ask for trouble. Zheng Juan is a stubborn rock, and he can't do anything about it.

In the next few days, Zhou Chen felt really relaxed several times, he could even walk with a bounce, he was in a good mood, and he walked with ease.

The Zhou family has also restored the harmony and tranquility of the past. The aftermath is that Zhou Rui and Feng Yue will still avoid Zhou Chen for the next few days, and they don't want to be coaxed by Zhou Chen at night, and they don't even listen to their favorite storytelling session. up.

The resumption of the college entrance examination came as scheduled. After the Ministry of Education announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, all parts of the country fell into jubilation.

Especially those students, many people set off firecrackers to celebrate.

For many students, being a worker is not what they expected. They all count on learning to change the future, but being a worker or a farmer is like that for a lifetime, and there is no way to change it.

So for those who are self-motivated and ambitious, the college entrance examination is the most important moment in life.

After waiting for ten years, this moment finally came, how could it not be exciting.

In November, the Jiangliao Provincial College Entrance Examination began to register, and Zhou Chen naturally registered immediately.

This year's college entrance examination, the time of the college entrance examination varies across the country, and the college entrance examination in Jiangliao Province is in early December.

For many people, this time is very tight, but for Zhou Chen, there is no pressure at all.

Among the friends Zhou Chen knew, not many took the college entrance examination. Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing gave up directly, and only Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang decided to take the college entrance examination.

For the college entrance examination this time, Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang did not hesitate to discuss with Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen did not put on a pose, as long as they asked, he understood and would teach them.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance examination. Although there were many subjects in the exam, Zhou Chen passed every exam with ease.

As he expected, although it is a different time and space, the college entrance examination has just resumed. The difficulty of the college entrance examination this time is relatively low, mainly for the consideration of the majority of candidates. After all, many people did not have the time and opportunity to study in the past few years.

If it is difficult at the beginning, it is estimated that there are more than ten million college entrance examination candidates, and even one tenth of them cannot be admitted.

Many people from Jiangliao Publishing House also took the college entrance examination, so Zhou Chen's participation in the college entrance examination was not too abrupt or too noticeable.

Shao Jingwen was very concerned about Zhou Chen's participation in the college entrance examination.

"Bingkun, are you sure about the college entrance examination this time?"

Facing Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen didn't hide anything, and said truthfully, "Yes."

Shao Jingwen was both happy and melancholy: "After entering the university, you will leave the publishing house, right?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Well, Mr. Shao, if I am admitted to university, the publishing house won't get stuck with me, will it?"

Shao Jingwen suddenly said angrily: "Who dares? If anyone dares to get stuck with you, I can't spare him."

He had long regarded Zhou Chen as a year-end friend. This kind of matter must be considered on Zhou Chen's side. Although the job in the publishing house is good, if Zhou Chen can be admitted to a good university, he can find a better job in the future.

Moreover, he is also aware of Zhou Chen's talent. Being a content editor in a publishing house is really too inferior. He also wants Zhou Chen to have a broader future.

"Mr. Shao, thank you."

"Bingkun, you don't need to say thank you to me."

Not only Shao Jingwen was concerned about Zhou Chen's college entrance examination, but even Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen found Zhou Chen and asked him how he was, Zhou Chen naturally answered truthfully.

This year's college entrance examination is destined to have countless people anxious.

This is even more true for the Zhou family, especially Li Suhua, whose three children have all taken the college entrance examination, and she hopes that all three of them will pass the entrance examination and shine in the family.

"Bingkun, did your brother and sister write back? I don't know how they did in the exam and whether they can get into college."

Looking at the anxious Li Suhua, Zhou Chen persuaded: "Mom, don't worry too much. You know their grades. I think this college entrance examination is easy. They must be fine. They will definitely be admitted to a good university. You Just wait for the good news, when the time comes, you will have three college students."

"You should think about it now. At that time, after you return to the optical film, how should you walk to be worthy of your identity."

Li Suhua was amused by Zhou Chen: "You son of a bitch, let's make you proud. When the results come out, if you fail the exam, I'll see how you cry."

Zhou Chen said: "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, you just wait for my good news."

After his reassurance, the old lady Li Suhua finally felt much better.

At night, with Zheng Juan in his arms, Zhou Chen suddenly asked, "Juan'er, if I am admitted to university, what major do you want me to study?"

Zheng Juan said: "I don't understand these things, no matter what university you go to or what major you study, I will support you."

These days, Zhou Chen is also thinking about what major he should choose.

According to his current status, a great poet and a great writer, he should definitely choose a major in literature, which is indeed something he hasn't been involved with much before.

But he also has his own considerations.

Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, how about you saying that I study medicine?"

Zheng Juan was shocked and asked, "Do you want to study medicine because of the light? Bingkun, I don't think you need to do this. You don't need to study medicine for the light."

Zhou Chen kissed her lovingly, and said softly: "I really want to cure Guangming, but this is not the main reason why I want to study medicine. I want to study medicine because I like this major. Doctors can save more people."

There is a part of this reason, but more because he wants to choose what he is best at, and his mission is to give Zheng Juan happiness.

For Zheng Juan, curing Guangming is a very happy thing.

Moreover, he doesn't need to study medicine year after year. With his medical skills, as long as he shows his skills in school, he will definitely get the school's attention, which will allow him to quickly join the work without having to study in school for several years.

Zheng Juan leaned on Zhou Chen's chest and said slowly: "Bingkun, no matter what you study, I will support you."

What Zhou Chen likes most is Zheng Juan's point of supporting herself unconditionally. This is not to say that Zheng Juan has no opinions, but that she is used to putting him first. This is love.

"Since I want to study medicine, I naturally have to choose the best medical school. I'm going to go to the capital to go to university, Juan'er, and you will come with me when the time comes."

"what?"

Zheng Juan sat up in shock, and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "You let me go together, but what about our mother, Ruirui, Yueyue and Congcong? Are you taking them with you too?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course, do you think I want to leave them behind?"

"cocoa."

Zheng Juan seemed very flustered, she had never been out of Jichun in her life, and suddenly said that she was going to the capital, she was really scared, afraid of going to a strange place.

"But we went to the capital, where do we live, and what can we do? It's the capital, food, drink and housing must be very expensive, let's forget it."

Feeling Zheng Juan's fear, Zhou Chen also sat up, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly.

"I know what you're worried about. If it's money, you don't have to worry. Remember the iron box I gave you for safekeeping?"

Zheng Juan didn't understand why Zhou Chen mentioned this: "What's the matter, is there anything in that iron box?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "You, you are really too honest, have you never thought about opening it?"

Zheng Juan tilted her head and said, "Didn't you say that the contents inside are very important, so I didn't dare to open it?"

"Little idiot, there's money in there. Let me do the math. It's about 6000 yuan."

"what?"

Zheng Juan exclaimed suddenly, but quickly covered her mouth, but her eyes still couldn't hide the shock and fear.

"Bingkun, you, where did you get so much money?"

"Of course I made money, but I'll only tell you one person, that's what I earned from doing business. You also know that you couldn't do business a few years ago, but I arranged for someone..."

Zhou Chen hastily talked about part of his business, which shocked Zheng Juan, so he believed Zhou Chen's words in a daze.

(End of this chapter)
