Seeing the video call from her son, Xie Yan, who was about to go downstairs to dance in the square, quickly returned to the sofa and called Chen Hai back, who was about to go for a walk in the park.
"Dahai, Wenwen called."
While speaking, she clicked on the video and instantly saw Chen Wen with a smile on his face.
"Mom!"
"Hey~"
Xie Yan laughed when she saw Chen Wen's face, and then said, "Have you finished the exam? When are you going home?"
Chen Hai also sat on the sofa. Although he didn't look at the phone, his ears perked up.
Chen Wen touched his head sheepishly, and then said: "Well, I might not be able to come back until the day before the Chinese New Year..."
"The exams are all finished, what else is there?"
Xie Yan frowned at first, and then seemed to have thought of something. A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she quickly asked: "Are you going to go out with your classmates? Are they boys or girls? Are they pretty or not..."
Chen Wen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? It's not about hanging out with your classmates."
"You're not going out with your female classmates!"
Xie Yan's tone was a little disappointed, and then she asked: "Why is that?"
Chen Wen explained: "Isn't there a national college student beastmaster competition next year? The school has set up a special training class to train the preparatory members of the school team."
"What does that have to do with you? Aren't you just a freshman?"
Chen Hai interjected.
Unlike Xie Yan, Chen Wen checked a lot of information since he became a beast master.
He didn't know the undisclosed information, but he still knew about the College Beastmaster Competition. Whether it was national or global, the vast majority of the participants were juniors and seniors.
Chen Wen chuckled, and then said: "I worked very hard this semester, and then accidentally became a reserve member of the school team."
"real?!"
Xie Yan suddenly screamed in surprise, and then said proudly: "My son is smart!"
Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Follow me!"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes at her husband, and then said to Chen Wen: "Well, Wenwen, you need to train well. We won the national championship in high school, and we will strive to win another national championship in college."
Chen Wen was speechless and interjected: "Is it so easy for you to win as a champion? Wenwen is only a freshman. Even if he participates in the competition this time, he is going to gain experience."
After that, he warned: "Don't be proud. You should always ask your principal or teacher. Although you are talented, your years have not been in vain."
"Uh-huh!"
Chen Wen nodded repeatedly, and then said: "By the way, Mom and Dad, the health products in our school are very cheap, they are all nationally certified, and they are trustworthy. I bought some, please remember to sign for them."
"This kid! Why are you spending your money randomly? Didn't you tell me not to waste it?"
"Your mother and I are in good health. What kind of health supplements are we taking? Please withdraw them as soon as possible!"
"It's already hard for you to raise three pet animals. We can take care of ourselves."
"You're still in school, thinking about all these things."
"..."
In response to the accusation on the other end of the phone, Chen Wen smiled all over his face and did not reply.
After a while, when his parents started to laugh a little louder, Chen Wen reminded: "Be careful before taking those nutritional supplements. For example, Changchun ginseng tablets can only be soaked in water and drunk, not taken orally."
Among the nutritional supplements he bought this time, except for flower nectar, which can be eaten as snacks, the rest are full of energy and need to be paid attention to the dosage, otherwise good things will turn into bad things.
"Periwinkle ginseng slices?!"
Chen Hai's voice became louder, and people crowded into the video, saying to Chen Wen: "I told you there's no need. Where did you get the money? Why do you spend money so lavishly?"
A pack of Changchun ginseng slices on the market costs RMB 500,000, and you can pay the down payment in Qinghe City.
Chen Wen quickly said: "You don't buy it with money, you use credits. If you have good grades, you will get a lot of credits. Anyway, I am studying hard, otherwise I won't be able to join the campus team. Besides, Sichuan University is the Changchun ginseng breeding base, so I can't afford it."
How many credits are there?”
Afraid of further persuasion from his parents, Chen Wen said directly: "We have a special training tomorrow. I went to prepare, but I failed."
"Hey, son, please pay attention to your health..."
Seeing her son hang up the video, Xie Yan looked at her cell phone for a while in disappointment, and then glared at Chen Hai complainingly.
But she didn't say much.
In fact, she herself felt that Chen Wen should not spend money "indiscriminately".
Chen Hai's expression was complicated, he was happy and disappointed at the same time. He was happy that his son had a promising future and was filial, but he was disappointed that he could no longer help his child.
After a while, Xie Yan said: "My child has grown up, let's go and go downstairs with me for a walk."
Chen Hai nodded.
…
January 20, 8:30 in the morning.
Half an hour before the gathering time, Chen Wen had already arrived at the central battlefield.
Entering through the gate, Chen Wen glanced at it.
It was winter vacation now, and there were no training students in the field. Chen Wen saw a few students who had joined the special training class at a glance, and walked over quickly.
After getting closer, Chen Wen discovered that there were acquaintances among these people.
He approached the tall man who was chatting with others and shouted: "Brother Tao!"
When He Tao heard this, he turned around and saw Chen Wen. He immediately laughed and said, "Here comes the Super Rookie King. I didn't expect you to reach the top thirty. Where does this leave us seniors?"
"Don't dare take it!"
Chen Wen waved his hand and smiled, then asked doubtfully: "What the hell is the Super Rookie King?"
Before He Tao said anything, the shorter man on the side said: "We were discussing you just now. We said that the ordinary rookie king is obviously not worthy of you, so we need to add a super one."
"I love you so much! I love you so much!"
After smiling, Chen Wen asked, "What do you call me, senior? I'm busy studying and training my pet animals this semester, so I don't recognize people very much."
He Tao said: "I can prove that I invited him three times this semester, and this guy rejected me every time. I checked and found that he went to take an elective training course. He must have fallen in love with some beautiful girl."
Chen Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Brother Tao, don't spread rumors. I am really interested in cultivation."
As he spoke, he looked at the shorter senior.
The senior smiled and said: "My name is Wang Gang, Gang Ji Lun Chang. Although my name is very serious, I am still very easy to talk to."
"I can see it!" Chen Wen nodded and smiled.
The two seniors were really easy to talk to and had kind-hearted personalities. Everyone started chatting after a few words.
Chen Wen inquired: "I'm just a newbie. I don't know what the rules of this special training class are? What are you going to do next?"
When Wang Gang heard this, he pointed at He Tao and said, "You have to ask him. Despite his thick eyebrows and big eyes, this guy is the king of gossip. Some people also call him Bai Xiaosheng of Sichuan University. He is very well-informed."
Chen Wen nodded to express his understanding and said, "I learned from He Tao how to properly address the president."
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head in confusion: "The day Zikun was so angry that it must have been because of He Tao."
"Old Gong likes this title."
He Tao snorted, and then introduced to Chen Wen: "The main purpose of the winter vacation special training class is to improve the strength of the reserve team members, and then select the school team members in the process of improvement.
The special training during this period is generally based on the teachers who are available that year, the resources the school has and the characteristics of the students, and it is different every time.
The only thing that is the same is that they need to be divided into classes before special training."
"Group?" Chen Wen thought thoughtfully.
"That's right!"
He Tao nodded, and then said: "After all, the team competition and the individual competition are different, so we need to divide them into classes before special training."
