Dabao was born with a big mouth and couldn't keep three words secret, so he couldn't help but tell his best friend Shi Tou on the way.
Shitou admired Dabao's ambition and was moved to also fill out the same application in the afternoon. Without thinking about whether his grades were good enough, he began to fantasize about the magnificent scene of the two brothers "storming" into the county town together.
After two people agreed, they continued to study in the same middle school and became thick as thieves... Oh no, I mean, they were emotionally deep good brothers.
Dabao happily bounced back home, and Zhou Xiaoxia happened to be talking to Zhou Xiaoyun. Seeing Dabao's excited look, she felt strange: "Dabao, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"
Zhou Xiaoyun didn't even have time to stop Da Bao before he poured out all the words like a spilled bean.
In Zhou Xiaoxia's astonished eyes, Dabao found a sense of pride, without realizing that he had only filled out the application and still had a long way to go before graduating. Whether or not he would be admitted was still uncertain!
After Zhou Xiaoxia left, Zhou Xiaoyun, who had a headache, was preparing to have a good talk with Da Bao: "Brother, why did you say that to Sister Xiaoxia?"
Dabao felt strange: "I'm telling the truth, why can't I say it."
Zhou Xiaoyun sighed, this is the "cow", don't expect to "play the piano" in front of him. Let's just speak a language that the "cow" can understand!
Mooooo... No, no, that's not it. It should be: "Brother, you just filled out your college application. The exam is still more than half a month away, and now you're going around proclaiming that if you get in..."
"What if you didn't get in? Aren't you afraid others will laugh at your bragging?"
Although this is true.
Dabao loves to brag, but he's most afraid of being laughed at when his bluff is called. After hearing Zhou Xiaoyun's words, he panicked: "What should I do? I've already told Shi Tou about it, and Shi Tou even said he'd take the entrance exam for Qiming Middle School with me!"
Zhou Xiaoyun was completely speechless.
Forget it, don't talk to Dabao about what's called subtlety, introversion, or low-key, he's simply a blabbermouth who can't keep a single word to himself.
"Brother, you'd better review well for the next half month, or else you'll be laughed at by Shi Tou and Xiao Xia Jie when you can't pass the exam. Besides, can you guarantee that Shi Tou and Xiao Xia Jie won't mention this to others?"
Dabao immediately understood the implication, Shi Tou was still okay, but Zhou Xiaoxia was a big mouth. Zhou Xiaoxia knew that it would be equivalent to all the children in the village knowing about it.
If he can't pass the exam, it would be a great shame. Later on, when he walks in the village, all the children will point at him!
Then where will Zhou Zhi Liang's face be placed?
No way, this result absolutely cannot happen!
Dabao realized for the first time that getting into Kai Ming Middle School wasn't just a matter of saying it out loud and filling out an application form, he had to actually get in if he said so.
Thinking of this, Da Bao who had always been idle and didn't take the graduation exam seriously panicked: "Da Lai, what should I do next?"
Finally able to see Da Bao's flustered appearance, Zhou Xiaoyun thought you know what's important
"It's better if you just stay at home and review your lessons instead of going out to play."
There is no reason for disagreement between us.
This last half month, Da Bao has been diligent in reviewing the entire semester's material. The new semester started early and the teacher led everyone in reviewing at school. Da Bao listened attentively in class and after returning home, he stayed in his room to review the textbook content without going anywhere else.
Shitou called him twice to go see the treasure, but he didn't even bother to respond. He complained: "How come you're always reading books? I've called you out twice and you haven't gone out to play with me at all. It's really not very considerate of you."
Dabao rushed to the stone and laughed: "I must review well, what if I don't pass the entrance exam of Qiming Middle School? I've boasted that I must pass. How can I not study at this time?"
The stone heard that 'support' is a new thing. Knowing Dabao for over ten years, I've never heard him say such mature and sensible words!
But this reminded Shi Tou. It seemed like he had also enrolled in Qiming Middle School with Da Bao!
The stone was infected by Da Bao's eagerness to learn and decided to go home and study too.
As the saying goes: sharpening a knife before battle, even if it's not sharp, it will still shine. What's more, Dabao was originally in the class with average grades that were slightly above average, and his foundation was still passable. With an additional half-month of intensive study, Dabao performed fairly well on the exam.
Dabao returned triumphantly after finishing his exam.
Zhou Xiaoyun asked again how the exam was going, and Dabao replied confidently: "No problem, I've done them all."
Zhou Xiaoyun rolled her eyes and ignored him, doing it right and doing it well were two completely different things.
Is this concept good or bad?
But, Dabao felt that the 'pretty' good results were not bad after all! At this time, the primary school graduation exam questions can't be difficult anywhere else, Zhou Xiaoyun just prayed that Dabao's score would reach the admission line.
It took more than a dozen days for the results to come out, and Da Bao, who officially graduated from Xingwang Elementary School, was like an unbridled horse, spending all day "hanging out" with Shi Tou.
No one at home is managing him, thinking that the previous study was a bitter task for Dabao, he finally gave up halfway. Now that the exam is over and the results are already settled, let him enjoy his summer vacation to his heart's content!
Zhou Guoqiang and Eldest Zhou were discussing bringing back Zhou Xiaoyun's... , thinking that now both brothers' families are doing well, they can't always let the third brother's family support the elderly.
Zhou Guofu naturally wouldn't say anything, and after telling Shen Huafeng, he made a phone call to Zhou Guomin in the city. This kind of thing naturally required his elder brother to take charge.
Shen Hua Feng maintained a neutral attitude towards the matter of her mother-in-law coming back, neither for nor against it.
"But then mumbled a sentence: 'After coming back, will it be at our home or at Er Ge's home?'"
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen was thinking of the same question.
It doesn't matter which family the old man lives with, how much can he eat, drink or use? Neither family will be unable to afford it. Moreover, Zhou Xiaoyun is only in her sixties, she is good at cooking and taking care of children, and she is also capable of managing the household. She also wants the old man to come back and live with them.
But our family has four kids! These two are already six years old and still following
Sleep by yourself, Da Bao and Xiao Bao share a room, although Da Ya has one room per person, but the rooms are not big either. If the old lady comes back, where should she live?
On the contrary, the old house had just been built with three bungalows, and there were two side houses on each side. The place was big and there were many rooms, which could be lived in.
But can Shen Huafeng not be petty with her own family? It's possible that the two families will have some conflicts over the old man's living arrangements.
Are there any small nine in the harmonious family on the surface? The third child has a job and a house in the city, with the best environment. He can't come and go frequently with his two brothers in the countryside, so he is slightly estranged from them.
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen and Shen Hua Feng had thought about Old Three's family having someone to cook for them and take care of the children for a long time.
The two of them thought the same thing: even if there were four (two) people in their own family, no one would take care of them! Why did they have to take care of Zhou Zhiyuan from Old Three's family?
If it weren't for Old Three and his wife supporting the elderly without asking for money from Eldest Brother's and Second Brother's families, they would have stopped long ago.
Life is going well these days, Lao San's child has also started school. The old man can come back to live in the city if he wants to.
The key is, whose home will he end up living in?
