It was Ma Tianchang's mother who called. She had been unable to get through her son's phone number for a day. Fortunately, Ma Tianchang left Dong Lin's number for her.

This was the backup phone number Ma Tianchang left for his mother six months ago when his first second-hand mobile phone broke and had to be repaired.

This time, Tianchang's mother was afraid that something might happen to her son, so she called him as a last resort.

Dong Lin was worthy of being known as the Tang Monk with a big mouth. He took his mobile phone and called auntie first, and then started to introduce Ma Tianchang's wonderful performance in the past few days.

I found a very lucrative tutoring job, I passed the audition, I helped the team win the football match. I didn’t care if people liked it or not, I just told them all.

Finally, he also told Tianchang's mother that in the evening news in Kaifeng City, there was a picture of his son imitating Lei Feng in saving people, and asked her to pay attention to it.

Tianchang's mother promised repeatedly, and she felt relieved knowing that her son was fine.

Finally, she heard that her son was going to be listed on the TV station news, which greatly stimulated her.

Although Tianchang's mother can't say that she has never seen the world, she has so many relatives and friends in her family, and she has never heard of anyone appearing on the city's TV station in the past few years. When she heard this, she quickly asked him what was going on.

Dong Lin only listened to Wang Xia's brief remarks about this matter and didn't understand it himself. When the old man asked, he remembered that this was a call to his son and hurried to the VIP room to hand over the phone.

Ma Tianchang.

The VIP room was noisy. When Ma Tianchang heard that his mother was looking for him, he picked up the phone and said a few words, telling his mother that everything was safe, that his phone was being repaired, and that he was having dinner with his classmates.

Before he even talked about the news, Dong Lin's cell phone indicated that it was about to run out of battery.

So he asked his mother to watch the news at 7:40 pm and then hung up the phone.

Ma Tianchang lives in a courtyard in the old town of Tonglan County, under the jurisdiction of Qifeng City. His family is not wealthy. His father is a traffic coordinator, and his mother helps in a shoe store owned by a friend.

He also has a brother who is three years older than him. He has been working in the south for four or five years and does not earn much money.

The three of them frugally provided for Ma Tianchang's tuition and living expenses.

At first, Ma Tianchang did not want to go to Beijing to study, partly because he was worried that his family would not be able to afford it. After all, it was cheaper to study in Qifeng than in the capital.

Ma Tianchang's father was talking to five or six old friends and neighbors of similar age in the front yard of Lao Wang's house.

Lao Wang's child is two years younger than Ma Tianchang and will take the college entrance examination this year.

Similar to Ma Tianchang's situation back then, he is also one of the students with the best academic performance this year at No. 1 High School in Qifeng City. It is said that he has a good chance of being admitted to one of the top ten key universities in the country such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and so on.

Lao Wang invited a group of old buddies to drink at his house, and they were facing Ma

Tianchang's father praised his son for his great achievements.

“Old Ma, we neighbors don’t know how long we can be together anymore.

My son will be admitted to college soon, and he will be admitted to Peking University, Tsinghua University or other Beijing universities. When he settles in Beijing in the future, we will move there and take advantage of it."

This Lao Wang is a man who gets drunk whenever he sees wine. Once he has a drink, he loses his ability to talk and dares to say anything about his character or not.

But there is one characteristic of people like him: no matter how much he drinks, he still looks like this.

"Congratulations to you then." Lao Ma's congratulations obviously had a sour taste.

He originally planned to tease the other party a few words, but thinking about what his youngest son did after the college entrance examination, he still held back the teasing words.

I remember that my second son was the most promising to be admitted to Peking University first.

But he actually gave up applying for the most famous university and went to Kaifeng University of Science and Technology to study an inexplicable major.

At that time, many people racked their brains and came over to ask him the reason, but he only said that the child did not want to go too far from home. In fact, even he himself did not know the real reason why his son did not go to the capital.

Lao Wang also noticed the change in his mood and sighed: "Back then, your second son's studies were no worse than my son's now. His test scores were said to be among the top ten in the city.

Why did you have to major in tourism management at Qifeng University of Science and Technology in the end?

To be honest, Lao Ma, did you not want to spend money to send your children to school in the capital and delay them?"

When Lao Ma heard this, he got angry: "I'm sorry, you are such a bubble-mouthed Lao Wang. I didn't talk about you in front of so many old guys, but you still made fun of me?"

Our second son doesn’t want to go to the capital, otherwise I would have to support him to go to a good university even though I’m a swindler. Besides, there are several relatives at home who can borrow money. How could I do the stupid thing you said?"

Lao Li on the side saw that he was a little anxious, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Lao Wang was just kidding. This has happened two years ago. When you talk about this, why is Lao Ma so anxious? It's not necessary.

!”

Lao Wang seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and said to Ma Tianchang's father: "By the way, Lao Ma, I heard my son tell me recently. He said that there was an inside story when your son didn't go to Peking University.

of,

We have been neighbors for decades, and you, the old boy, didn't tell us the truth back then. Is it necessary to cover it up so tightly?"

When Lao Ma heard what Lao Wang said, he was a little curious.

When his son didn't apply for a first-class university, he thought it was because he was obsessed. No matter how many times people tried to persuade him, he just didn't listen.

Now that I think about it, maybe there really is something behind it.

He said calmly: "Has your son heard about the inside story now? My son has

It has been two years since he graduated from No. 1 High School. Is anyone still commenting on him?

Just stop lying to me and try to trick me, right? You are such a cunning guy!"

Lao Wang became anxious when he heard this: "You are still talking about me. Your son couldn't get into Peking University with such high scores. Who among us is not curious? You are the only one who is tight-lipped and embarrassed to tell us the reason.

We have heard about it ourselves now, and we haven’t complained that you hid it, but you say that I made it up and that I am a cunning old man? You are a bastard."

The two of them have known each other for decades and have long been used to joking. Now they are not really in a hurry.

The old horse said: "What am I hiding? Please speak clearly. You can even see how many mice we have in our house."

Is there anything else that our family can hide from you, a know-it-all? Can you tell us the inside story?"

This is not because Lao Ma scolded him. Lao Wang was the leader of the "Basic Sect" when he was young. There was nothing he didn't like to inquire about, so he was nicknamed Know-It-All.

When Lao Wang heard what Lao Ma said, he had no worries. He said loudly: "They said that your son failed to pass the standard in sports many times and failed the make-up exam, so he failed to get into Peking University.

People say that the second child in your family is paralyzed and cannot walk unless he joins the ranks of special admissions students.

Otherwise, based on the fact that his motor cells are almost zero, no first-class university would want him."

This was the first time that Lao Ma heard that his son was dismissed for such a reason. No one told him that back then.

He knew clearly that his son was really not good at sports, but he still said to himself: "You're talking bullshit. Who said that our family Changchang Sports is not good at sports? He was hiding it well. Where did you hear the rumors? Bullshit!

Besides, there is no physical education test in the college entrance examination. Do you understand, idiot!" Just as he said this, Tianchang's mother came over to look for him.

After she just confirmed that her son was really going to be on the TV news, she was so excited that she changed her clothes and hurried to see Tian Chang's father.

"Lao Ma, our second son will be on the news on Qifeng City TV station later, let's go back and take a look!"

"What's going on? If it's a passerby who gets photographed by luck, just don't look at it."

Lao Ma was being said bad things about his son at this time. He was afraid that what was broadcast on TV would not be a good thing, so he deliberately said this.

Ma Tianchang's mother quickly explained: "No, no, it seems that my son has done something great and good. I heard that he was interviewed exclusively."

"Really? What time does it start?" Hearing that it was a good thing, Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
