Riverside police

In a blink of an eye, it’s the day when the college entrance examination results are released.

How Xunxun does in the exam is a big deal to the old Han family. Han Yu has gone to Dongguang to receive a new ship. He will not be able to get home until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Others have no signal on their mobile phones at sea and cannot make calls. Han Xiangning cannot He didn't take it seriously and took half a day off to rush back to Bailong Port.

Unexpectedly, when I came back, I saw that the yard and living room were full of people.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law are back, Xunxun’s grandparents are here, and the old money has also arrived early.

Boss Wu of Bailonggang Shipyard, former Principal Gao of Bailonggang Primary School, former Dean Chen of Bailonggang Health Center, and Director Wang of Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office also came. Even Secretary Huo of the Fourth Factory Town and the Town Education Committee Director Lu and Party Secretary Pan from Bailonggang Village both came, and they both came with firecrackers.

"Xiang Ning, come in!"

"Han Bureau, where is your salted fish?"

"He's on a business trip and won't be back for a few days."

Han Xiangning didn't bother to say hello to Principal Gao and other elders, and asked eagerly: "Brother, where is Xunxun?"

Han Shen was in high spirits during happy events. While giving smoke to Secretary Huo, Director Lu, Party Secretary Pan and other cadres, he smiled and said: "He's upstairs. He just went up and he was a little embarrassed to have so many people here."

"Are the scores out?"

"I came out, I called to check, and the test score was 672. I was worried that I made a mistake and called several times, but it was all 672!"

The total score is 750, and a score of 672 is a high score.

As an aunt, Han Xiangning was very happy and asked happily: "Brother, have you asked the school teacher if you know what university 672 can go to?"

"I called and asked, but the teacher was not sure at the moment. The main reason is that they all know the scores of Linghai students, but they don't know how the students from other places did. If they also do well in the test and have high scores, that's good. University admissions must depend on rankings.”

"Han Bureau, please be at ease," Secretary Huo came over and said with a smile: "I called and asked Principal Pang in Lingzhong. Principal Pang said that if there is no subject combination, Xunxun's total score can be ranked in Linghai. To the top fifteen. At least ten students from Lingzhong can get into Tsinghua University and Peking University. With such good grades, Xunxun will definitely get into Tsinghua University! "

"Great! Secretary Huo, Director Lu, let's talk first. I'll go upstairs to see Xunxun."

"OK."

"Director Han, we will set off the cannons after Boss Han has finished paying homage to the Bodhisattva. Don't be scared."

"fine."

Linghai attaches great importance to education.

If a student in the jurisdiction gets a high score, the town and village will visit to congratulate him. If a student can become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the city or even the province, city leaders will come to congratulate him and even give him a cash reward.

As for Lao Han and Han Shen, they would like to offer incense today to thank the gods and ancestors for their blessings. A big banquet will be held in a few days to thank teachers, relatives and friends.

Han Xiangning quickly ran up to the second floor and knocked on the door of his nephew's room.

Xunxun is already a young man, sitting in front of the computer absentmindedly chatting with his classmates on QQ. Seeing her aunt coming, she quickly put down the mouse and stood up with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Why are you hiding in your room alone? You should be happy if you do so well in the exam." Han Xiangning said with a smile.

In Xunxun's mind, his uncle and aunt are the most capable people in the family. He has always respected them and was even a little afraid of them.

He scratched his neck and smiled bitterly: "I didn't do well in the exam."

"A score of 672 is already a good test!"

"Auntie, I really didn't do well in the exam."

Xunxun glanced at her mother who had followed her, and said with a grimace: "I'm the best in math in so many subjects, but I only got 138 points this time. The estimated score was 145 points, and I still don't know I was wrong. Where."

7 points may not seem like much, but this is the college entrance examination score. Even if there is only a difference of 1 point, the provincial ranking may differ by one or two thousand students. However, famous universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University have very few students admitted in Jiangnan Province, maybe only a few dozen. Whether or not these 7 points can be said to be a world of difference.

You can obviously get high scores in mathematics, but if you don't get it, you may miss out on the university of your choice.

Han Xiangning could understand his nephew's mood and advised: "If you don't perform well, others may not perform well on the spot. Besides, it is very impressive to score 672 points. It is no exaggeration to say that you have exceeded 100% in academic performance." Ninety-nine peers.”

"Yes." Ji Xiaohong held the freshly cut watermelon and asked Han Xiangning to eat it while smiling: "Not to mention getting 672 points, even if you get 572 points, your dad and I will be happy."

Xunxun felt very sad, hesitated and said, "I will definitely not be able to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University."

"There are so many people who have not been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University. Are they still alive? Besides, the admission score of Tsinghua and Peking University has not been released, and you have not filled out your application. Maybe you can be admitted."

As soon as Han Xiangning finished speaking, Ji Xiaohong smiled and said: "Even if you can't go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, you can go to other universities. Donghai Jiaotong University is also very good. Your uncle is a graduate student at Donghai Jiaotong University. We bought a commercial house in Donghai and went to Donghai. It will be so convenient to go to college and work in Donghai in the future.”

"Yeah, what's so good about BJ? Going to college in BJ is really not as good as going to Donghai."

Han Xiangning was persuading his nephew when his cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and took a look at the caller ID. It turned out to be Shen Fan, director of the Development Zone Management Committee. He quickly pressed the call button and raised the phone to his ear.

"Xiang Ning, how did Xunxun do in the exam?"

"672, good test."

"672 is a high score. Your eldest brother and your sister-in-law must be very happy."

"Yes, my sister-in-law is right next to me. Director Shen, how did your development district do in the exam this time?"

"Not so good," Shen Fan was a little depressed, and smiled bitterly: "In terms of high school, the high schools in the city are not as good as several county high schools. If Xunxun was in our development zone, he would be the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our development zone. If he was in Chonggang District, it would probably be about the same."

It is normal in Binjiang that the high schools in the city are not as good as the county high schools, otherwise parents in the city would not buy houses in several districts and counties and send their children to school in the districts and counties.

Han Xiangning was thinking about whether to transfer Hanhan back to Linghai to study, or think of ways and find connections to let Hanhan return to Linghai to study on a temporary basis. Shen Fan changed the subject and said sourly: "Luo Hongxin is so arrogant that he called everywhere to show off early in the morning. They did well in Sigang, and the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination is from Sigang."

Dongqi Middle School used to be very powerful and well-known throughout the country. The papers of Dongqi Middle School were sold well in several provinces and cities. Now Linghai Middle School and Sigang Middle School are also very powerful, even surpassing the once extremely glorious Dongqi Middle School.

Han Xiangning was not surprised that the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination came from Sigang.

After all, in terms of college entrance examination education, the brother cities are far from being the opponents of several districts and counties in Binjiang, otherwise the teachers of high schools in several districts and counties in Binjiang would not be so popular, and many high schools in cities want to poach them.

Han Xiangning asked curiously: "The champion in liberal arts or science?"

"Science."

"Do you know how many points he got?"

"709."

"How much?"

"709."

The total score was only 750, and the child actually got 709 points...

Han Xiangning subconsciously glanced at his nephew, and just when he didn't know what to say, Shen Fan continued: "And the champion in science is not from Sigang Middle School, but from Qutang Middle School. In Luo Hongxin's words, if we talk about high-scoring candidates, they not only have more than our districts and counties, but even more than several cities in the north."

This is not bragging, Luo Hongxin is indeed qualified to show off.

In fact, not only Sigang, but also Linghai, the number of high-scoring candidates may be more than the combined number of Yanhai districts and counties.

The national education depends on Jiangnan, and the education in Jiangnan depends on Binjiang. This saying makes sense.

Han Xiangning was sighing secretly when Han Shen ran up with his mobile phone.

Ji Xiaohong asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Teacher Yang called and said that the college entrance examination results of each city are out."

"What did Teacher Yang say?"

Han Shen was afraid that his son would be disappointed, so he hesitated and said: "Teacher Yang said that if Xunxun was not a combination of physics and chemistry, but biology and chemistry, or physics and biology, anyway, no matter how it was combined, the scores of each subject combination would be ranked first in the province."

Ji Xiaohong asked vaguely: "Is the combination of physics and chemistry not good?"

"It's not bad, but people with such a combination also do well in the exam. There is a child in Sigang who scored 709, the top scorer in the province. Teacher Yang asked around, and he estimated that the admission score line for science majors in our Jiangnan Province this year at Tsinghua University and Peking University may be It will not be lower than 680 points. "

"What should I do then?"

"Teacher Yang suggested that when filling in the application form, fill in Nanjing University or Donghai Jiaotong University as the first choice, so that you have a better chance."

"Why Nanjing University? I will definitely go to Donghai Jiaotong University!"

If he can't go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, Xunxun has been mentally prepared. He looked up and said, "Dad, I can go to the National University of Defense Technology. The National University of Defense Technology is an early batch, so I can fill in the application form in advance."

"I asked your teacher Yang, and your teacher Yang said that going to the National University of Defense Technology is a waste of points." Han Shen patted his son's shoulder, thought about it and laughed, "Have you forgotten what your uncle told you, it's easy to join the army, and you can go through special recruitment after graduating from university."

What's good about being a soldier?

After serving in the army for more than ten or twenty years, you still have to retire. Even if you can become a regular regiment in the army, you can't find a good job when you come back.

Han Xiangning agreed and said with a smile: "It's better to go to Donghai Jiaotong University. You like computers, right? Donghai Jiaotong University should have a computer major."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xunxun was a little disappointed because he didn't do well in math and lost at least 7 points. Now that he has confirmed that the admission score of Tsinghua University and Peking University may not be lower than 680 points, he is not as disappointed as before. After all, even if he didn't lose those 7 points, he might not be able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

In any case, 672 points is already very high, and the whole family is very happy.

At noon today, let's celebrate briefly.

When I am admitted to a university in the future and get the admission letter, I will have a big banquet to celebrate formally.

After Han Xiangning finished his meal and returned to the Yangtze River Bridge Construction Command, the leaders and colleagues were talking about this year's college entrance examination and the provincial champion of the college entrance examination from Sigang.

Deputy Director Li knew that she had asked for leave to go back to Bailonggang in the morning to care about her nephew's college entrance examination. He curiously asked about Xunxun's score. He was very envious when he learned that Xunxun scored 672.

On the way back, Han Xiangning felt very uncomfortable when she thought of her daughter's academic performance.

The more Deputy Director Li praised Xunxun for her hard work, the sadder she felt. Just when she didn't know what to say, Deputy Director Li suddenly said: "I almost forgot that two reporters from Xinhua News Agency came. They are interviewing Engineer Chen now and will interview you later. Hurry up and prepare."

"Interview me?"

"They are interested in you, and this is a request from the superiors."

"What is there to interview about me?"

"You are a female comrade. You have been standing by the river for several years to escort the construction of the bridge. Of course, I have to interview you." Deputy Director Li smiled and said meaningfully: "This matter is very important. When the content of your interview is published in the newspaper, it can be used as a material for applying for model workers in the future."

"I don't want to be a model worker." Han Xiangning muttered.

"It's not a matter of whether you want to or not. Besides, you are a model worker. Hurry back to the pontoon to prepare. After they finish interviewing Engineer Chen, I will let Xiao Xu accompany them to the pontoon to find you."

The construction of the bridge will definitely produce a group of model workers and advanced individuals. It is no exaggeration to say that cooperating with publicity is also a political task.

Han Xiangning had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

After returning to the pontoon to pack up and waiting for about half an hour, the two reporters arrived.

The two reporters were particularly good at interviewing. They did not ask if there were any touching deeds right away, but chatted with her like chatting about family matters, starting with how she thought of applying for Binjiang Shipping School when she was in junior high school, and how she was assigned to the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau at that time after graduating from technical secondary school.

Han Xiangning was a little nervous at first, but she was no longer nervous as she chatted.

After chatting for two and a half hours, when talking about bitterness and grievances, Han Xiangning thought of her daughter and cried. She wiped her tears with a tissue and said with a sob: "The waters where the bridge is under construction are golden waterways. There are thousands of ships of all sizes passing by every day. I dare not leave even a step. I don't have time to take care of the children, and my wife can't take care of them either. You two know that the elderly take care of children. They are reluctant to beat or scold them. The children's grades are getting worse and worse, and they are almost at the bottom of the class..."

For female comrades, this is undoubtedly the greatest bitterness.

The two reporters recorded it calmly and felt that her deeds were very touching from the bottom of their hearts.

After sending the two reporters away, Han Xiangning couldn't control herself and finally broke out. She picked up the phone and called her father's mobile phone, and asked her daughter who had just finished school to answer the phone.

"Mom, what's wrong again?" Hanhan took the phone reluctantly and asked nervously.

"Why did you fail the math test last week?"

"I didn't read two questions clearly."

"What are you thinking about all day? You didn't even read the questions carefully when you were doing the test!" Han Xiangning held the phone tightly and said with gritted teeth: "I didn't listen carefully in class, so the teacher called me. Can you pay more attention? You are a student, and the main task of a student is to study..."

Here it comes again!

Hanhan simply put the phone aside. Anyway, her mother couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, so she continued to draw on her homework book.

"Your brother Xunxun's college entrance examination results are out. He scored 672 out of a total of 750, ranking in the top 15 among all the candidates in Linghai. If it wasn't a combination of physics and chemistry, but a combination of the other two subjects, this score would rank first in the entire Jiangnan Province!"

Han Xiangning became more and more angry, and said angrily: "Yuanyuan studies very hard and is also in the top 15 in the class. Are you dumber than others, or are your study conditions not as good as others? You always get such terrible scores in the exams. You are so embarrassed to go here and there to play, and you only know how to play all day long!"

This mother is not worth having.

It would be great if she didn't transfer to Donghai after the Yangtze River Bridge in Binjiang was built.

Hanhan was muttering to herself when her mother's roar came from the phone again: "Speak up, I'm asking you!"

"I'm listening," Hanhan recovered and said hurriedly: "I know, I'll do well in the final exam."

"If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. How many times have I told you this truth? You have everything you want now, but you don't study hard. Are you worthy of me and your father, and your grandparents? When he was your age, your father got up and cooked every morning, and went to school after dinner. He had to go back to the boat to help your grandparents cook and work during the winter and summer vacations..."

Then she talked about the family's history of suffering.

My mother could talk about my father's childhood, her and my aunt's childhood, and the hard life my grandparents had when they were young. Hanhan was tired of listening, but she had to listen with gritted teeth.

Han Gong and Director Xiang gently closed the door and walked to the balcony to whisper.

"I knew Ningning would be anxious once Xunxun's college entrance examination score came out. Now she is scolding Hanhan, but she will blame us later." Han Gong took out a cigarette and said unconfidently.

"Blame us?" Director Xiang was unhappy and muttered: "We help her take care of the child, but we also take responsibility? If she complains that we don't take care of her well, let her take care of it herself!"

"Is it useful to say angry words?" Han Gong lit a cigarette and smiled bitterly: "Hanhan's grades are indeed not very good, it's normal for Ningning to be anxious."

"What's wrong with poor grades? There are many children with poor grades, and they live differently." Director Xiang said while tidying up the clothes hanging on the balcony: "I have inquired that the public security system has preferential policies for heroes and models, and their children can be recommended to the police academy. Saner is a hero and model, and he can enjoy policy. If it really doesn't work, let Hanhan go to the police academy in the future and become a police officer after graduation."

"I know there is such a policy, but it is also conditional. The grades can be not very good, but they can't be too bad."

"Let's talk about the future later, I'm going to buy vegetables."

"Why go to buy vegetables now, Ningning will definitely ask you to answer the phone later!"

"Is it different if you answer it or I answer it?"

"No, she will blame me if I answer it."

"You are her father, are you afraid of her? Again, if she thinks we are spoiling her, let her take care of Hanhan by herself. I haven't been back to Xichuan for a long time, and I just want to go back to my hometown to have a look."
