Chapter 74 Countdown to College Entrance Examination

On March 22, Grandpa Xiao's anniversary ceremony, the day Xiao Yueyun officially gave his filial piety, there was a lot of spring rain.

Fu Lang went on a business trip the day before yesterday, and left the car keys to Xiao Yueyun.

Today is Friday, and even though he had to go to class, Xiao Yueyun still took half a day off. Early in the morning, he hugged his younger brother in one hand and held an umbrella in the other, and walked on the path of the cemetery in the outskirts of the city.

When they came to Grandpa Xiao’s tomb, one big and one small wiped and cleaned the tombstone for him, then presented a bouquet of flowers, and then hid under the umbrella to avoid the wind and rain and burned some paper money.

Looking at the thin old man with burning eyes and serious expression in the photo, Xiao Yueyun was filled with emotion.

A year has passed so quickly, and the half a year of acquaintance with Grandpa Xiao seems to be still yesterday.

In less than three months, it will be the annual college entrance examination. Thinking of how grandpa Xiao was full of longing for Xiao Yueyun's college entrance examination and college because he hadn't read any books before his death, Xiao Yueyun misses it very much.

Looking down, I saw my younger brother was also staring at the photo on Grandpa Xiao's tombstone, muttering with a serious face.

Xiao Yueyun smiled slightly, and also looked at the photo, as if the kind old man was still in front of her eyes.Thinking back to when Grandpa Xiao was alone in the nursing home, he couldn't help being happy every time he saw the two of them pass by, and every time they left, he kept asking...

Scenes of the past flashed through his mind, and Xiao Yueyun thought to himself: Don't worry, Grandpa, my brother and I will have a good life, and we will visit you often.

The rain gradually subsided, and another footstep came from far and near.

Xiao Yueyun turned her head to look, and saw that it was Lawyer Zhang who had helped Grandpa Xiao deal with the funeral before, and he was also walking towards this side with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Lawyer Zhang stopped in front of Grandpa Xiao's tombstone, nodded to the two brothers, and then put flowers in front of the tombstone.

Xiao Yueyun knew the relationship between Lawyer Zhang and Grandpa Xiao, and seeing that he did not forget to come to pay respects to his grandfather on his anniversary, he liked him even more.They also met Lawyer Zhang here on Grandpa Xiao's 88th birthday a few months ago.

Afterwards, because it was a working day and rushed back to class and work, the two chatted for a while and then drove away.Before leaving, Lawyer Zhang, who wanted to send the two children, knew that they drove here by himself, so he didn't say anything more. After all, the Xiao family is considered to have some wealth, and it is not unusual to buy a car.However, when he saw Xiao Yueyun walking towards the obviously expensive black car in the parking lot, he still looked a little bit surprised.

Seeing Lawyer Zhang's expression, Xiao Yueyun explained: "I borrowed a friend's car."

Lawyer Zhang has returned to his normal expression now, nodded in understanding, then got into his car, greeted him and left first.

Xiao Yueyun didn't take the matter of meeting lawyer Zhang to heart, and continued to bury her head in the sea of ​​books after returning to school.

However, more than ten days later, on the Qingming Festival on April [-]th, when Xiao Yueyun brought his younger brother to the cemetery again, he met lawyer Zhang again. This time, he brought not only flowers, but also a black official document Bag.

"Mr. Xiao Yueyun, take a step to speak."

**

"There is an additional clause in Mr. Xiao Jianjun's will that has not been told to you. Let me read it out now."

Lawyer Zhang took out a document from his briefcase.

It turned out that Xiao Jianjun and Grandpa Xiao still had a property, which he specified to leave to Xiao Yueyun.

Xiao Yueyun took the documents, and already familiar with Yangcheng, he saw at a glance that the address of the property was on the side of the West Second Ring Road, not too far from their home, and when he looked at the area, he was immediately surprised.

"Why?" Xiao Yueyun was puzzled, why did Grandpa Xiao leave this property, which was worth a lot of money at first glance, to himself and his younger brother?And since he wanted to stay, why did he come to read the will today after more than a year?

Lawyer Zhang pushed his glasses and said honestly: "The trigger condition of this will is that you two brothers properly held the funeral after the death of Mr. Xiao Jianjun, and that you and your brother will be on his birthday that year, the first anniversary and the Qingming Festival next year. Come visit his grave."

After hearing this, Xiao Yueyun was speechless for a long time.

He suddenly understood why when he went to visit some people, many elders commented on Grandpa Xiao and said that he had an awkward personality.

"What if we didn't do it?" Xiao Yueyun asked after a while.

"If you don't do it, then this property will be donated to the country." Lawyer Zhang replied.

Xiao Yueyun nodded.

Today, the Xiao family brothers took a taxi by themselves, so lawyer Zhang drove them into the city, and stopped the car at the entrance of a quiet alley beside the second ring road.

Walking into the Hutong for a few hundred meters, he stopped in front of a gate. Attorney Zhang took out the key and opened the gate.

It was a courtyard with two entrances.It seems that no one has lived there for a long time. The walls are covered with green creepers, and many weeds grow in the courtyard. An osmanthus tree and a ginkgo tree are planted on the middle and east sides of the inner and outer courtyards. You can tell by the thickness of the trunks. Some years.

Under the introduction of Lawyer Zhang, Xiao Yueyun found out that Grandpa Xiao used to fight for a living when he was young, and saved a fortune, and even used that money to support his good friend, Mr. Ning, to make a fortune.

However, Grandpa Xiao kept in mind his master's words that fighting against others would damage the virtues and kill children and grandchildren, so he gave up his life and went to work in the factory.

Until Grandpa Xiao fell in love with a girl and wanted to marry and start a family, but the girl's family looked down on him who was poor and white, so Grandpa Xiao angrily returned to his old business, saved a batch of antiques, and bought this courtyard house as a new house.Unexpectedly, the girl did not wait for him to return, and married someone early.Immediately after that ten years of catastrophe, Grandpa Xiao suffered a lot of suffering, and many things were destroyed, leaving only this house.

However, it is a sad place for Grandpa Xiao. He only asks people to repair and maintain it regularly, and he has never lived here.

He continued to work hard with the Ning family, and twice when the Ning family was in trouble, he relied on the "good things" he got in exchange for the funds to save the day.Later, Mr. Xiao couldn't do it anymore, and the Ning family had already gained a firm foothold.

Seeing that he was well-off and still childless, a junior from the Xiao family village came to join him, calling each other uncle, very affectionate.Originally, for the sake of the same clan, Grandpa Xiao thought it would be okay to be promoted, but after seeing clearly that the clan nephew and the group of people who rushed to recognize him as godfather were of the same kind, he became cold-hearted.

I'd rather be an extinct family with no children and grandchildren, and go to a nursing home to die alone, and I don't want to take advantage of those hypocritical white-eyed wolves, and the matter of this house has been kept a secret.

"In order to maintain this house, Mr. Xiao was rented out by a trustee a few years ago, but it was taken back last year, and it can be lived in after a good repair." Lawyer Zhang said.

Xiao Yueyun fell in love with this familiar courtyard house as soon as he entered it.Although this is not comparable to the garden mansions of the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, it is very good to have such a square house in modern times and a courtyard that is spacious enough to practice martial arts.

In addition, it is close to the subway, quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle, not too far from Yangcheng University and Huafeng, and the rows of courtyard houses nearby seem to be well maintained, not like the kind of mixed-living large courtyard environment, and it can live It is worth noting that the people here are not ordinary.

Because of this, Xiao Yueyun felt even more ashamed.

Attorney Zhang noticed Xiao Yueyun's expression, nodded in his heart, and said: "Mr. Xiao said that you should help him maintain this house well. If it can accompany your brothers to start a family, marry a wife and have children, that's fine. His wish and obsession for many years."

After a pause, Lawyer Zhang said again: "He also hopes that you will not be under too much pressure. If you have a house, you will have confidence. As long as you perform normally in the college entrance examination, it will be fine. This is his gift for you to go to school."

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyun's eyes turned hot, and he struggled again in his heart. Seeing his younger brother's expectant eyes, he finally signed the contract and completed the transfer procedures.

It was like a dream, when he was still confused about his future (money) future, and worried about the annual rent increase, in a blink of an eye, within a few hours, he had a car near the second ring road of Yangcheng. Covering an area of ​​nearly two acres, the living area is about 600 square meters, and it is a courtyard house with two large yards.

That night, back at 1401, Fu Lang was slightly surprised when he learned about this, and then regretted that he would not be able to continue his "cohabitation" with Xiao Yueyun.

Fortunately, the courtyard house still needs to be repaired and refurbished, and the lease of the house here has not yet expired, and there are still four months left.

The thought of not being able to get along with Xiao Yueyun day and night, and not being able to eat the meals Xiao Yueyun made by himself every day, made Fu Lang feel uncomfortable.

Or, move there by yourself?

Fu Lang pondered, seeing Xiao Yueyun couldn't hide his joy, and swallowed the words silently.

Everything will be discussed after the college entrance examination.

**

In mid-April, Xiao Yueyun scored 652 points in the first mock exam of the Yangcheng college entrance examination, ranking No.12 in her grade.The more you go up, the harder it is to climb the rankings.

In the second model in May, Xiao Yueyun was admitted to the top ten of his grade for the first time. Although he was only tenth, it still made him very happy.He knows that he is not the kind of genius who can't forget with a photograph. Xiao Yueyun is already very satisfied with himself if he can make up for his shortcomings with diligence this year and reach his current results.

On June [-], the night before the college entrance examination, Xiao Yueyun had a rare insomnia.

The next day, he slept until the alarm clock rang before getting up. When he opened the door, he saw that Fu Lang and Xiao Yueyang had come back from a morning run and brought him a breakfast.

Xiao Yueyun smiled and ate breakfast as usual.

Before going out, check the stationery bag and certificates for the last time, and after confirming that they are correct, Xiao Yueyun and Xiao Yueyang got into Fu Lang's car.

The two days of this year's college entrance examination happen to be working days, the elementary school does not have a holiday, and studies as usual, and Fu Lang also goes to work as usual. Although he really wanted to ask for leave to accompany the exam, he knew that his emotions would affect Xiao Yueyun, so he gave up this kind of giving to others. stressful approach.

Fu Lang only felt that watching his sweetheart go to the examination room was much more nervous than he was back then.

The two days of the college entrance examination passed very slowly, whether it was for the examinees or their family members, but when the moment when they really finished the exam and stepped out of the exam room, they felt that time passed too fast. All were released in the sky.

It makes people suddenly feel a little disappointed, and then joy.

The devilish senior year is finally over!

At this moment, many students didn't want to think about grades and aspirations, but just wanted to throw away and tear up all the books and papers.

In that crazy atmosphere, Huafeng's senior year graduation party began.
