After the county magistrate and the others left, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were still in a state of shock. They did not expect their son to be able to do so well, and they were very surprised to get such a result in the test.
Zhou Zekai opened the envelope calmly, saw the money inside, one hundred yuan, counted it, there were five pieces in total...
Sure enough, at this time, literati are the most valuable. If you want fame and fame, you need money and money. For one composition, you can send 500 yuan directly. The People's Daily is really rich and powerful!
In fact, if Zhou Zekai's composition was not really well written, people would not give such a price, it is because this person's composition is worth so much, so the money given in the end is so much, let Zhou Zekai still Very satisfied.
In addition, if Zhou Zekai's grades are official, the government will give Zhou Zekai a bonus to make him work harder for the country.
Zhou Zekai didn't care too much about money, but if he had money, he could always solve 80% of the things in his life, so Zhou Zekai still liked money very much.
"Mom, you can keep this money."
After handing the money to Zhou's mother, Sun Yingchun was taken aback, and then took the money from his son. He had seen his son counting it just now, five hundred yuan! Why is my son so powerful! In the end, their family's savings were only more than 500 yuan, and now their son's composition is only 500 yuan, which made Sun Yingchun very happy.
"Then Mom will keep it for you. If you need it, just ask Mom."
Smiling until his eyes narrowed, Zhou Zekai nodded in a good mood seeing his mother so happy.
After that, Zhou's mother went to cook, and Zhou's father took Zhou Zekai to ask about the exam, and praised his son for being so capable. After the compliment was over, he remembered that he hadn't announced the happy news to his family yet!
Zhou's father was not the eldest in the family, so he was separated after marriage, but the whole family lived in the village, so he asked Zhou's mother to cook more delicious food, and he took Zhou Zekai to his parents' house. Announce the good news there.
Zhou Zekai was more liked by his grandparents. After they learned about Zhou Zekai's grades, they were as happy as Zhou's father. Even Zhou's uncle was also happy. Grandma even secretly gave Zhou Zekai 50 yuan to make him happy. Zhou Zekai will use...
The atmosphere at home is very good. After visiting my grandparents, I finally didn’t eat at my grandparents’ place. I went back home to eat with my father. Zhou’s mother made a lot of delicious food, and even brought out the rice wine she made herself. Drink two sips and feel refreshed.
Zhou Jiayu has already been put to sleep by Zhou's mother, and now the three of Zhou's family are sitting together, which is a joy. After all, no one outside the family knows about it, so I can't tell the outside people first, I plan to wait for the official announcement Come down and talk.
Zhou Zekai was thinking about his plan while eating, and only talked to his father when he was almost done eating.
"Dad, I will definitely go to Shangjing City to report in September. If I go to school, it is too far away from home. If I want to come back, it will be more difficult. I don't think it is too much for you and Mom to bring Jiayu at home." Don't worry, I thought about it, why don't we go to Shangjing together?"
Father Zhou was already excited, but when he heard his son say this, he was stunned, and then shook his head again and again.
"Akai, this won't work. Although your father and I are just a small village head, our village is also very disciplined. Everyone in the village is waiting for me to watch. I definitely can't go with you, but you Don't worry, even if Jiayu is left at home, your mother and I will take good care of me, you just go to school, the two of us, you don't have to worry too much."
Being rejected by Zhou's father, Zhou Zekai was not surprised. After all, Zhou's father is a leader, even if the village head wants to quit, it will take a certain amount of time, but Zhou's mother hurriedly looked at Zhou Zekai.
"Akai, you are going to go to school in Shangjing City. What are you doing with me and your dad? Are you slowing down? I don't like it. Don't worry, I will take good care of Jiayu at home. Besides, you are the least at school. After studying for four years, if your dad and I go, it will be a drag on you. You really don’t have to worry about family affairs. We are all our own family members in our village. We greet each other when we have anything. It's not as good as at home."
Zhou's mother also thinks that it is better at home, besides, she thinks that her son is going to study outside. If they are parents, it will be very strange no matter how you look at it. Anyway, Zhou's mother does not want to hold her son back.
In the end, Zhou Zekai saw that Zhou's father and Zhou mother had their own thoughts in their hearts, so he didn't say much. Anyway, it really didn't take long to study in Shangjing City. Even if it was four years, Zhou Jiayu would only be six years old by then. It's not bad to teach yourself slowly.
After all, my father is the head of the village, and my mother has lived in this village all her life. It might not be possible to suddenly let them stay away from their homeland...
Zhou Zekai stopped persuading his parents, and in the next few days, the grades of other people in the village also came out, not as many as Zhou Zekai, but at least two of them in the village were admitted to universities, and the fact that Zhou Zekai was admitted to Jinghua University was even more rumored. It is everywhere, and in such a valley, it is really amazing that such a golden phoenix can emerge!
The most important thing is that Zhou Zekai is not one of those educated youths outside, but a child born and raised in his village. It is also the child they have seen growing up since they were young, and they are proud of it! ! !
As long as Zhou Zekai goes out these few days, he will definitely stuff the villagers with various things, such as eggs, or vegetables, or some things made at home. In short, he wants to show his closeness and Taking care of Zhou Zekai.
In the current situation, even if you get such good grades, you can't have too much ostentation, so there is no such thing as a water feast, only Zhou's mother secretly boiled red eggs and shared them with the villagers one by one, which made everyone happy very.
Zhou Zekai's grades are really excellent, but it is the first in the whole country, so Zhou Zekai was given another 200 yuan bonus. Seeing that it was almost September, Zhou Zekai was about to leave, and Zhou's mother even It is uncomfortable crying secretly at night.
His son has never left his side before, and now he suddenly wants to leave. Of course, Zhou's mother is uncomfortable, and even Zhou's father is also uncomfortable. Although he is a man, he has watched his son grow up since he was a child. He is just like this Son, the mother who travels thousands of miles is worried. As a father, he is also very worried. He is afraid that his son will be cheated when he goes out alone...
But besides that, they also thought of someone!
The daughter-in-law, Lin Meiyu, who had left home in September last year and never heard from her again, although the two of them hadn't mentioned Lin Meiyu in front of Zhou Zekai, they didn't talk much about it in private. After that, I never came back! ! !
She abandoned their A-kai and her own son! She turned out to be such a cruel woman!
I just remembered that my son was admitted to Jinghua University without saying a word. Could it be that he still misses that woman? Thinking of this, both the husband and wife felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing the night before Zhou Zekai left, Zhou's father and Zhou mother had time to ask their doubts.
Zhou Zekai really didn't expect that his father and mother would think that he was admitted to Jinghua University because of Lin Meiyu. This conclusion made him a little speechless, so he hurriedly explained.
"Dad, Mom, I promise, I want to go to Jinghua University to learn knowledge, definitely not because of Lin Meiyu, I know she doesn't want to come back, so I don't have this wife, but Jinghua University is the highest in China Therefore, I want to go to Jinghua University, become a better person, and then serve the motherland.”
Such words made Zhou's father and Zhou's mother feel relieved. After all, if the son was really for Lin Meiyu, then if they were sad at that time, they would feel bad.
"That's good. About Lin Meiyu, I don't have much to say to your mother, but since she has no friendship with you, if you see her at Jinghua University, just pretend not to see her."
Father Zhou said that he was also very satisfied that his son had let go of that woman. After all, he never wanted to see his son kneeling and licking another woman again. This feeling was very bad.
"Well, Dad, don't worry, I'm going to school, not to see her."
After such a good talk, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were very satisfied. Zhou's mother took out the money for Zhou Zekai from her pocket, which was Zhou Zekai's previous bonus of 700 yuan.
"Mom, why do I need so much money? Just give me two hundred. The rest is left at home and you and Dad can buy whatever you want. I'm going to school, not spending money."
He took out five hundred and gave it to his mother again, but Sun Yingchun didn't pick it up, and said with a smile.
"You take it. If you have money at home, there are many places to spend money when you are away from home. Moreover, it is very cold in Shangjing. In winter, if Mom can send you something, I will send it to you. If not Ah, if you are cold, you can buy clothes and shoes yourself, those department stores are very expensive these days."
Sun Yingchun has only such a son, so naturally she gave her heart to him, not to mention money, even if she gave her life to her son, she would be willing!
Zhou Zekai did not resist his mother in the end, and planned to wait until he went to Shangjing City to earn some money to buy things and send them back. Anyway, parents would not be willing to spend money, so it is better to buy some practical things, which can also make parents happy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zekai collected the money, and left the village where he was born and raised in the early morning of the next day, under the red eyes of his parents and son...
