From top stream to scholar

"It's hard to go home for the New Year. If I don't bring more things, am I ashamed to go home?" Jiang Xi said while carrying things, "Go back first."

"How about, brother-in-law, can I help you?"

"You are so small, go home and tell your parents first." Jiang Xi waved his hand impatiently, refusing to ask Yu Wanzhou to help.Yu Wanzhou saw that her brother-in-law didn't want to help, so she didn't say anything about helping.He thought that maybe he wanted to show it in front of his parents, so Yu Wanzhou went directly upstairs to the front of the house.

This is a house from the last century, so it is not dilapidated, but it is indeed a little dilapidated because of the years.There are only two residents on each floor. His family lives on the third floor, and there are two stairs on the first floor.Jiang Xi didn't know how tired he was when he moved so many things here.Yu Wanzhou thought it was funny, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and my mother's eyes lit up when she poked her head out and saw Yu Wanzhou, "Xiao Zhou is back?"

"Mom." Yu Wanzhou called out obediently, and her mother nodded and said, "Quick, come in."

"Hey." Yu Wanzhou entered the house, saying that the house is a bit dilapidated, but it is quite spacious.There used to be a steel factory here, but the steel factory moved away a long time ago.There are fewer and fewer people in the original family home, and the parents didn't have much money when they bought the house.It is far away from the county town, and it is almost next to the countryside. In addition, there is no steel factory, so naturally it cannot be sold at a high price.

There are not many residents upstairs and downstairs, only a few old people are still living in the building.Every night, it is quite infiltrating.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Xi's voice came from downstairs.Mother Miao Yucui asked, "Didn't your sister come back with your brother-in-law?"

"I'm back, it's in the back." Yu Wanzhou pointed to the door, "Mom, where is my dad? Did you go out to play cards again?"

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?" Yu Wanzhou's father, Yu Jianrong, came out of the room.

"Father." Yu Wanzhou quickly walked to the living room, took a water glass and poured a large glass of cold water, and was about to drink water.He was stopped by Miao Yucui, "You child, what's the matter? It's winter, and the water is so cold?"

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Go to your uncle's place tomorrow." Both Yu Jianrong and Miao Yucui were born and raised here, and their relatives are also in this small county and surrounding villages.

The county seat is not big, so you can go shopping in just a few streets.Fortunately, there is a high school and a junior high school in the county seat, but nine out of ten students who attend high school in the county seat are gangsters.Different from high schools in Yucheng, nearly 60 to 70% of students in No. [-] Middle School can enter undergraduate universities.As for the high school students in the county, if more than a dozen can be admitted to the undergraduate course, it would be thankful.

I heard that in the past few years, only a few people even entered undergraduate universities, and there were dozens of junior college students, and other students had no books to study at all.There are also many young people who joined the army in their first or second year of high school or became gangsters in society.

Just like his brother back then, it's not that he didn't like studying.Instead, I wanted to sleep when I saw a book, and I couldn’t study at all. I went to high school and ran to join the army just after one year.Fortunately, his brother performed well in the army, so he was spotted by the police station, and when he retired from the army, he was directly brought back to be a policeman at the police station.

The same is true for Jiang Xi, Yu Wanrong, who can be admitted to a second university in a county high school, is already among the top five in terms of age.

Educational resources are simply not comparable to those in Yucheng, or even compared to high schools in neighboring counties.It was also because she didn't have much money back then and could only study in a high school in the county seat, but Yu Wanzhou was lucky enough to be discovered and became a child star.She was escorted by Sister Mei and went to junior high school in the capital. She originally planned to continue her high school education in the capital, but something happened.

Both his older brother and older sister settled down in Yucheng, allowing him to attend high school in Yucheng.Otherwise, if he returns to the county high school, even if he is able to learn—I'm afraid he won't be able to get a special recruitment spot by relying on his outstanding math talent.

First of all, he couldn't even participate in the preliminary round of the math competition, and the school's teachers wouldn't mention this stuff.Moreover, their school does not have an examination room, and the nearest examination room is a nearby county town that requires several hours of driving.Originally, the school’s education was poor. It’s not like the [-]th Middle School doesn’t care whether you can pass it or not, as long as you participate, you will be allowed to take the exam.There is no way to take the exam here, and it is useless for the teacher to mention this matter.Over the years, no one has taken the exam at all.

There are also transportation fees, accommodation fees, etc., which are not worthwhile.Simply put, the teacher didn't talk about it at all.

Here, no matter how good Yu Wanzhou's math talent is, it's for nothing.That is to say, after three years, if he can be admitted to a key university and be valued by the professors of the mathematics department, then he will be able to soar into the sky.Rather than like now, his starting point is even a point that some people can't even imagine.For example, he will go to Yucheng University to study next year. Students who study in the county can't even think about it.

"Aunt Miao." There was a clear voice calling Miao Yucui outside the door, it didn't sound like his brother-in-law.

Yu Wanzhou looked back curiously, and there was a tall boy standing in front of the door with a smirk.A little worn out, but still clean.Holding a piece of bacon in his hand, he handed it to Miao Yucui and said, "My grandma just made bacon, let me bring you a piece."

"Hey." Miao Yucui said happily, "How is your grandma, is she feeling better?"

"It's...not bad." When talking about grandma, the boy frowned slightly, but he still smiled brightly.

"Wanzhou, come here." Miao Yucui greeted Yu Wanzhou, and Yu Wanzhou walked to Miao Yucui's side and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"This is Yan Honghui, why? You don't know him anymore? I was in the same class as you in elementary school."

"Ah, haha." Yu Wanzhou couldn't remember seeing such a person when he was a child, and besides, this person was quite tall and had a good figure.There is no such thing as the appearance when he was a child. If he can remember it, it will be a strange thing.

Yan Honghui smiled and nodded at Yu Wanzhou when he saw Yu Wanzhou, "Aunt Miao, I, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you."

"Yu Wanzhou, you are amazing." Yan Honghui finally gave Yu Wanzhou a thumbs up, turned around and went upstairs.

Yu Wanzhou watched Yan Honghui go upstairs, and said with some puzzlement, "You live upstairs in our house?"

"That's not true." Miao Yucui pulled Yu Wanzhou and whispered, "You liked going to other people's houses to play when you were young."

"Ah? What else?"

"Why not? When you were a child, didn't Yan Honghui's parents often bring him some snacks? You went to his house to eat those snacks, and you forgot."

"I... really want to forget about it." Yu Wanzhou scratched her head, "Then his parents were quite rich at that time, so it wouldn't be Yan Honghui who wore old clothes, right?"

To be honest, Yan Honghui's spirit is not bad, and his clothes are not sloppy.That is, it looks like one word - 'poor'.It was obvious at a glance that he was poor.

Miao Yucui sighed, "His parents lost money in business a few years ago, and something happened again. They are gone, and the family has no property. His mother's relatives, how should I put it—just, not so much Leave him alone. Grandpa passed away early, and there was an uncle who had an accident before his parents passed away. Now the family relies on his grandma to live with him. This old grandma is sick. She just came back from the hospital a few days ago. Life is hard."

"Then... is he still studying?"

"I'm studying, and I'm the same freshman as you." Miao Yucui shook her head and said, "This kid is going to join the army, I think he can do it. It's just that the old lady is not in good health, but it's okay for neighbors to help out. question."

"He..." Yu Wanzhou didn't know what to say, he just couldn't see such a thing.It's not that he's hypocritical, he just thinks that life is really an embarrassing thing.

"He has been strong since he was a child. Unlike you, you were protected by Yan Honghui when you were young. If someone bullied you, he would help you out. You are better. Every time people sue the old lady, you And ran to set fire to it."

"Have I ever done this?" Yu Wanzhou was stunned.

"Xiao Zhou, you go to see grandma later, grandma misses you. Didn't you often go to other people's houses to play when you were a child? They gave you all the delicious and fun things, and Yan Honghui would not rob you. No matter what How should I put it, now that you are promising, you still have to go see grandma."

"Mom, I got it." Yu Wanzhou looked serious, nodded and stopped talking.

"Mom!" Jiang Xi moved a lot of things to the front of the house, Miao Yucui hurried forward to help Jiang Xi carry the things, Yu Wanrong said with a smile, "Mom, don't help him, you Let him carry it by himself."

"You little girl, what's the matter? Ren Jiangxi has moved so many things, and you don't know how to help." Miao Yucui gave Yu Wanrong a look, and Jiang Xi hurriedly said with a smile, "Mom, it's okay Yes, I can do it myself."

After everything was moved into the house, Miao Yucui asked Yu Jianrong to come out and talk to Jiang Xi.She took Yu Wanzhou to Yan Honghui's house, and it seemed that the Chinese New Year would be a few days away.When I first passed the county, the smell of the year was almost overflowing, and every family was beaming.Even after returning home, the house was cleaned again and again.

It also looks quite old-fashioned, Yu Wanzhou's home is on the third floor, and Yan Honghui's home is on the sixth floor.When she reached the top floor, Yu Wanzhou still felt a little creepy, mainly because the sky was dark and there was no light. Walking in the narrow stairwell, Yu Wanzhou suddenly remembered the horror stories she had read before.Goosebumps all over my body, and no one lives on the floor itself.There was basically no sound, and when they reached the door, Miao Yucui knocked on the door and said, "Honghui, open the door."

Yan Honghui opened the door and smiled at Miao Yucui and Yu Wanzhou, "Aunt Miao, you are here. Come in quickly..."

Yu Wanzhou followed Miao Yucui into the room. The room was very tidy, but basically it could be regarded as a bare house without any valuables.Apart from an old TV, this is probably the most valuable thing in Yan Honghui's house.
