Chapter 44: Classmate Guo Zhengyang

  Sorry for the late update, I've been typing two books a day for almost a month and I'm really tired. Yesterday's rest time was a bit long... Guo Zhengyang's father, as the number one in Yanhe County, is still in his 37 or 38 years old, which is considered the most brilliant period of his life, so he is often very busy and has less time to stay at home.

  Moreover, Guo Zhengyang also clearly knew that in another two or three months, his father would further become the vice mayor of Mingchuan City. During this period, was his father already operating something? For example, last time when he was following He teacher, at around 4-5 pm, his father's car suddenly passed by that road. At that time, he was quite depressed, but later thought about it and remembered that the road went straight west to the county town, heading towards Mingchuan City district.

  So before going home, Guo Zhengyang still had some small worries, fearing that after returning home, he would face his father and not know how to deal with him again. But who would have thought that until late at night, his father finally returned home drunk, while his mother was nagging and taking care of him.

  Although his mother said a few words to his father, "Zhengyang is back," his drunken father just grunted and didn't say another word. After a night passed in haste, let's not mention what happened before Chapter 46. The math test after the start of school, Guo Zhengyang scored 49 points.

  On the podium, Wang Dongping spoke calmly and approvingly, but when he announced the real numbers, many students in the class laughed, mainly because this score was really embarrassing. Full marks 15, scored 49? Is this not the standard for being criticized? But now the head teacher is seriously praising Guo Zhengyang.

  "Don't laugh!" Wang Dongping clapped his hands and continued, "The time before class on the 46th evening of the new semester had unknowingly changed. At first, it became a time for Wang Dongping to praise Guo Zhengyang, but later it extended to more things. However, many classmates seemed indifferent, bored to the point of dozing off, while some people appeared to have gained insight, as if they understood something. Some others secretly rolled their eyes and raised an eyebrow."

  "Hey, **, it's only been a month and you've already become the model student of the whole class. I've only seen this kind of praise when I was in elementary school. But you're also being too exaggerated, 49 points, almost reaching the second-tier university line. There are still 60 or 70 days until the college entrance exam, if you keep going like this, getting into a second-tier university will be easy." Zhang Hang is the type of person who gets bored and wants to fall asleep when listening to something, although he was initially moved when he heard that Guo Zhengyang was being praised individually, but as Wang Dongping kept talking, he gradually spaced out.

  Finally, she leaned on the table and winked at Guo Zhengyang.

  It's just a month, and the former class troublemaker has become a model student, being praised by the teacher as a good target for everyone to learn from? The contrast is really too great.

  Especially for Zhang Hang, who is also a leftover and a good buddy of Guo Zhengyang, it really made him feel torn apart.

  However, Guo Zhengyang didn't mind Zhang Hang's words and just spaced out thinking of something.

  Praised by Wang Dongping, and looked at with admiring and praising eyes by most of his classmates, Guo Zheng felt nothing, he was only slightly touched by one sentence from Wang Dongping.

  Whether Wang Dongping's views are entirely correct is not the point, but one thing did make him feel emotional. In fact, in his previous life, Guo Zhengyang was also somewhat unclear and confused. With his family background, his older brother is now the mayor, and his father is the county party secretary. For this kind of family, regardless of whether they study well or not, they will never have to worry about food on the table when they enter society. Whether their high school knowledge is good or not is also completely unimportant. If it's just for the sake of going to university, with his family's background, which university in the country can't be entered through the back door?

  But from a young age, his father was very particular about his studies and placed great importance on them. The worse he did in school, the more disappointed his father became. Why? Is one score really that important?

  For families like Guo Zhengyang's, fractions seem to have no meaning at all.

  But Wang Dongping's words gave him a certain amount of motivation, the learning career in high school campus, compared to various problems encountered after entering society, is simply a trivial matter, if you can't even do this little thing well, what's the point of talking about the future?

  Even if it's Guo Zhengyang now, he has a good understanding of this sentence. Studying in school is much easier compared to starting a family and career in the future.

  It's because you can't even handle such a small matter properly that makes Father so disappointed in you.

  Perhaps his father didn't really care about how many points he scored, because for the Guo family, scores weren't that important. In his heart, he probably just thought that if his son couldn't even do well in such a small matter, then it would be hard for him to achieve anything great when he entered society.

  This view is not entirely correct, as there are indeed many people who did not study well or hardly attended school but can still make a good living and be more successful than many high-achievers. However, this view also has some truth to it. At least Guo Zhengyang knows that studying in school is much simpler compared to making a name for oneself in society or in the spiritual realm of the previous generation. His father's mindset should be similar. He had high expectations for him, not just hoping he could score well on exams, but also expecting him to achieve great things after entering society. It's just that every time he sees Guo Zhengyang messing up small things in school, he can't help but feel disappointed.
