Chapter 58: The Visitor
Yu Xia smiled and said: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Guo Zhengze nodded and said, "Who knows if you're joking? This isn't a joke. Right, so your son is also a cultivator?"
"Right, otherwise it wouldn't have caught the attention of the National Security Bureau, would it?" Yu Xia retorted.
It seems that this is the only reason that would attract the attention of the National Security Bureau, and I just hope that Guo Ming didn't use his magical powers for evil purposes. Otherwise, I can only go seek help from that so-called Fairy Sister.
The bell outside rang, and the two of them looked at each other, hastily getting up to see.
The disappointed visitor was not Guo Ming, but an unexpected person, Guo Zheng's second brother and his uneasy nephew Guo Kun.
"Second brother, how did you come?" Guo Zheng asked strangely. It's been many days since second brother came, what does it mean to bring Guo Kun here today? Moreover, looking at the other person's expression seems a bit constrained and uneasy, with doubts in his heart, Guo Zheng let Yu Xia go make tea, and himself pulled second brother down to sit.
Guo Zhenhou looked around and coughed, saying: "Third brother, aren't you going tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Oh, he's not here," Guo Zheng then asked Er Ge with a puzzled expression, and immediately asked, "Second Brother, is there something going on? Just say it, no need to hesitate."
"There's nothing much, just came to take a look at Ming Er, this is the brain supplement I bought, the middle school entrance exam is approaching soon, give the kid some extra brain nutrition." Guo Zhenhou put down the brain supplement on the table and chuckled.
Yu Xia brought over a cup of Longjing tea and placed it beside Guo Zhenghou's desk, saying: "Second Brother, have some tea."
"Oh, all right," Guo Zhenhou said hastily.
Xia sat back in her own seat, and Guo Zhenghou slightly bowed his head before straightening up. He glanced at his son beside him and sighed, "Actually, I came today mainly for Kun'er."
Seeing the two of them looking puzzled, Guo Zhenghou felt a bit embarrassed and said: "You also know that there are more than 20 days left before the exam. I want to ask Ming'er to tutor Kun'er's studies tomorrow."
Guo Zhengze and Yu Xia exchanged a glance, then let out a deep sigh. Life is indeed unpredictable! Who would have thought that two months ago, not one person in their family could stand Guo Ming, but now they had to come begging to Guo Ming?
Guo Ming and Guo Kun were in the same school. Under the deliberate embellishment of their teacher, Guo Ming's achievements had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire school. In just two short months, he rose from 50th place in his class to 4th place in the whole grade, a progress that was shocking enough for these proud students. Guo Kun, also known as Guo Ming's second brother, naturally heard this news. At first, he didn't believe it, but after asking several people and confirming it, the expression on his face could be described as stunning. The grades he had always been proud of were apparently nothing in Guo Ming's eyes. He was like a clown showing off his brilliance in front of others, unaware that everyone knew his true identity. This intense psychological blow made his heart churn with shock and turmoil.
In the end, he decided to let his father come forward, for his own future, what's the harm in losing face once? He was a repeater and originally had good grades. It's just that there is still some distance from Yizhong, but Guo Ming was able to improve so quickly in these two months, which means he must have his own excellent learning method. As long as he learns Guo Ming's learning method, Yizhong will no longer be a dream.
Yu Xia shook her head and said, "Ming Er is not at home now."
"Not at home? Where did he go?" Guo Zhenhou asked anxiously.
"Tomorrow has already decided to give up the college entrance examination," Yu Xia said in a low voice, with a hint of disappointment. Being a recommended student is an affirmation for junior high school students, and many parents hope that their children can get this honor. But they also hope that their son can show his skills in the college entrance examination and compete with all the students in the county.
"Why? Guo Kun exclaimed: "Third brother's grades are fourth in the whole school, and the difference between him and the first in the whole school is only a few points. It can be said that they are completely on the same starting line, and it's hard for them to improve. But third brother is different, I think if he works harder for another month, he will definitely be able to improve some more, and at that time, he may even be able to compete for the title of top scholar in Linze County. This is a great honor! Can't give up, does third brother still worry about getting into the first middle school?"
Linze County champion, the weight of five words is huge, everyone knows. Yizhong is a national key high school, and every year's champion will get the quota for Peking University and Tsinghua University. It can be said that as long as you win the Linze County championship, Peking University and Tsinghua University are yours to choose from. Such an honor, no top student would refuse. They are all sharpening their knives, ready to show off their skills.
"Who says it isn't? It's just that at this moment, Ming Er's decision made Guo Zheng regretful in his heart, but things have already turned out this way, what else could he say?"
"Third brother, you must advise Ming Er well. If Ming Er can get the top score in Linze County, it will be an honor for our old Guo family. As for the quota of students assigned to specific schools that you mentioned, it doesn't matter at all. The quotas are only submitted a week before the middle school entrance exam."
Guo Zhenhou is a man of great power and influence, but when it comes to his family's honor, he leaves no room for ambiguity.
"Never mind, let's just go along with what he wants, we shouldn't interfere too much," Yu Xia said softly.
"Brother and sister, how can you be like this? Guo Zhenghou hastily stood up from his seat, anxiously saying."
"Compared to two months ago, we should be considered lucky. I still remember that at that time he didn't even have a grasp on the second middle school, and now he's got the quota for a reserved student, what more could he want? Yu Xia didn't get angry, although the other person's tone was somewhat severe, it was all good intentions towards her own son."
"Yes! It seems I was too greedy." Guo Zheng nodded and said.
Both the husband and wife had agreed, but his elder brother still had something to say. With a hint of disappointment on his face, he sat down dejectedly. Guo Zhenghou thought about what he had done to this nephew in the past, and it seemed that even his own words no longer carried any weight.
"Where is Third Brother now?" Guo Kun asked with some embarrassment.
Kuo Cheng and the other two were taken aback, shook their heads, and Yu Xia said: "We don't know either, maybe he went traveling alone?"
"What? Guo Kun and the other person exclaimed in surprise."
A quiet and unknown forest, where from time to time a few birds chirp. Among them are some wild animals that ordinary people rarely see. Of course, behind the beauty lies a killing intent. Along the way, the two of them have gone through countless crises.
Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's pretty face was painted with colorful camouflage, wearing a camouflage uniform, and at this time she was walking into the woods with Sūn Hóng, who was dressed in the same attire.
"Who would have thought that there was such a place here, nature is really good at disguising itself! Sun Hong wore a camouflage military uniform, holding a dagger in his hand, and casually stabbed to death a poisonous snake that was about to attack people."
Shuǐ Mèng Yáo was already accustomed to this, and along the way, Sūn Hóng unknowingly killed countless venomous snakes and insects. The two arrived at the primeval forest of Lín Zé County, where Shuǐ Mèng Yáo followed the trajectory of her dream, pushed aside a rock, and before their eyes appeared a hidden paradise that had never been seen by the world.
