Chapter 1647 College Entrance Examination, Back to the Beginning, Journey to Hong Kong
Life and study in the senior year of high school are slightly heavier and more depressing than those in the first and second years of high school. Even people like Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao who don't like to study slowly tightened their nerves and began to follow other students.
Like my classmates, study hard.
If we want to say who is the most laid-back in the entire Grade 1 class, it is undoubtedly Zhou Chen. He is still distracted in class as always, wanders around freely after class, and takes pictures in physical education class.
But one thing has not changed from beginning to end, and that is that his results are still unparalleled, terrifying and unmatched.
The biggest change is that more and more people are asking him for study questions. It is no exaggeration to say that students come to him to ask questions more often than they go to the teacher to ask questions.
Zhou Chen's explanation of the problem was obviously more acceptable than asking the teacher for advice. This was also the unanimous opinion of the vast majority of the students in Class 1, Grade 3.
Especially when the college entrance examination is approaching, Zhou Chen's home seems to have become a base. On rare weekends, Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si and Hu Qiumin all gather at Zhou Chen's home to study with Zhou Chen, ask questions, and let Zhou Chen take the lead.
them.
This is also something that the three families are willing to see. After all, Zhou Chen's grades are so good, and taking everyone to study together is what many people dream of.
Especially the Cheng family and the Li family. They sent things to Zhou Chen's house every now and then, and even asked Zhou Chen and others to go to the house for dinner.
In the blink of an eye, it was July 1999. The college entrance examination this year was the same as in previous years, scheduled for July 7th to 9th, lasting three days.
On the day of the college entrance examination, all parents were very nervous, and the same was true for Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun. They couldn't sleep at all the night before, so they got up at around four o'clock in the morning and started cooking, but they kept their voices to a minimum for fear of disturbing what they were doing.
Zhou Chen resting.
After breakfast, the two wanted to send Zhou Chen to the college entrance examination. Zhou Chen did not refuse and walked to the school where the college entrance examination was held.
"Xiao Chen, don't be nervous or stressed during the exam. No matter how well you do in the exam, just show your strength."
Although Zhou Chen's academic performance was particularly good, when the day came, Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun were still very nervous.
After all, no matter how good the previous results were, it is history. The college entrance examination is the test that determines fate. They were afraid that Zhou Chen would not be able to maintain his mentality, so they gave careful instructions.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "Uncle, aunt, you don't have to worry about me. The college entrance examination is nothing special to me. You just need to wait for the success."
He himself can hardly remember how many times he has taken the college entrance examination. For others, the college entrance examination may be the most important part of their destiny, but for him, it is really equivalent to an ordinary classroom test without any pressure.
.
On the day of the college entrance examination, the entire Linqi Oilfield Base became extremely quiet, especially near the school. Many parents and students were very noisy before the exam, but after the exam started, it became extremely quiet.
Zhou Chen and Cheng Miaomiao took exams at the same school. Before the exam, Li Si, Hu Qiumin, and Qiang Xiaowa all took exams at other schools.
Before the exam, Zhou Chen went out of his way to find Cheng Miaomiao. Compared with his calmness and calmness, Cheng Miaomiao seemed very nervous.
"Zhou Chen, I'm very nervous now, what should I do, what should I do?"
Zhou Chen comforted him in a warm voice: "Don't be nervous. The Cheng Miaomiao I know is not afraid of anything. It's just a college entrance examination. How can I scare you? No matter what, just take the exam seriously."
Although Cheng Miaomiao worked hard for a year after her senior year of high school, as she said herself, she was indeed lacking in talent in learning and had made some progress. However, if she wanted to be admitted to an undergraduate university, she really needed to perform exceptionally well.
Only then.
"Come on, take a few deep breaths."
Cheng Miaomiao did as Zhou Chen said and she felt better. Although she was still nervous, it was much better than before.
"It's just that we are not assigned to the same classroom, otherwise I wouldn't be so nervous if you were here."
If you were in the same classroom as Zhou Chen, even if you didn't have the chance to copy, your mood would be much calmer because you had an acquaintance there. But unfortunately, although they were in the same school, they were not in the same classroom.
The three days of the college entrance examination, some people think it goes by very fast, and some people think it goes by very slowly, but time will not slow down because of anyone's thoughts, it will just keep ticking.
Cheng Miaomiao, who was very nervous before the college entrance examination, immediately returned to a lively and optimistic state after the exam.
"Whatever, the exam is over anyway. Whether you did well or not, it's already like that. Instead of being worried and frowning all day long, it's better to have fun. At least before the results come out, you can have fun.
for a while."
Like Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si is an optimist. His thoughts are almost the same as Cheng Miaomiao's. He even cares less than Cheng Miaomiao because he was not too nervous even before the college entrance examination. Compared with Cheng Miaomiao's mentality, Li Si
All good.
On the one hand, his family does not have such high requirements for him, and on the other hand, it is also because he has suffered from cancer and can barely be considered to have experienced life and death. Therefore, whether it is him or his parents and relatives, their view of him is that he can
Living is better than anything else. As for exams and so on, it doesn't matter. What you get in the exam is what matters.
As for Zhou Chen, he has a better mentality than the two of them, because he knows what kind of high score he can get in the exam, and he can choose any university in China at will.
The only person whose mentality and mood are not very good may be Hu Qiumin.
None of Zhou Chen's family put any pressure on her, but she was different. Her mother looked at her very closely and cared about her college entrance examination. She also had a clear goal of getting into the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
University, so she was under a lot of pressure.
Even if Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si asked her to play together, she would be absent-minded most of the time. Her situation was mainly her own problem, and no one else could persuade her.
In 1999, the order of filling in the college entrance examination application was: first, start with the college entrance examination, then start to estimate the scores, and then fill in the application according to your own estimated scores. The college entrance examination scores will not be announced until after filling in the application, so the requirements for the assessment of scores are very strict.
This makes filling out a volunteer application risky.
In this case, errors in score estimation often occur, leading to errors in university applications. For example, if the score is too high, you will be admitted to a good university but you will not be admitted, or if your score is too low, you will not be able to apply to your favorite university. Both of these two
This situation occurs often.
After the school arranged the score evaluation, Zhou Chen directly applied for Fudan University. As soon as he submitted it, he was found by the school's teachers, dean and principal.
Because Zhou Chen’s estimated score was very high, there was absolutely no problem in applying for Qingbei. However, Zhou Chen chose to apply for Fudan in Shanghai. Although this school is one of the best universities in the country, it is still inferior to Qingbei.
Whether it is teachers or principals, they prefer Zhou Chen to apply to these two universities in northern Qing Dynasty.
But Zhou Chen's attitude was very resolute. No matter how they tried to persuade them, they did not change their mind. For this reason, they went to Zhou Chen's home and found Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun. They talked for an hour or two, but Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun
The two of them did not interfere with Zhou Chen's choice at all.
In fact, according to Sun Xiuyun's idea, if she were not afraid of delaying Zhou Chen's future, she really wanted Zhou Chen to enroll in a university in the province, so that it would be easier to go home frequently. If they wanted to, they could just take a day off and come back.
But in the end, she said nothing and chose to respect Zhou Chen's choice. After getting along with him for more than two years, she had regarded Zhou Chen as her own child and a relative, so she did not want to interfere with Zhou Chen's choice.
Moreover, Zhou Chen was going to go to Shanghai University, which he had told them a long time ago. They had already been mentally prepared, and it was not something that the school leaders could persuade them to do.
Outside the flower room, Zhou Chen and the other two gathered together again. We all worked together to prepare for the exam some time ago. Now that the college entrance examination is over and the applications have been filled out, although there are still final admissions left, most of the worries have settled down.
Among the five, Hu Qiumin did not change and applied to a university in Shenzhen City, while Qiang Xiaowa applied to Beijing Normal University. The reason why he applied to this university was because it did not cost money, and it would also guarantee distribution in the future.
For families, it is more cost-effective than attending other universities.
As for Zhou Chen, it was natural that he had made his decision long ago and only applied for one choice, which was Fudan University in Shanghai.
Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si, after discussing with their parents, enrolled in the same university, a junior college in the same university town as Fudan.
Although they worked hard in the later stage, their scores in several mock exams could only occasionally reach the undergraduate level. Therefore, they did not expect to perform exceptionally and get admitted to the undergraduate program, but directly chose to enroll in a junior college.
Their parents are actually quite relieved about their choice of school in Shanghai, because Zhou Chen has also applied for a university in Shanghai. They feel that Zhou Chen is much more mature than Cheng Miaomiao and the others of the same age. If they go to school together, they will definitely be able to take care of them.
Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si.
Only Cheng Miaomiao's mother, Jia Daiyu, complained slightly. She was still counting on her daughter to go to the capital, but unfortunately her wish came to nothing.
"Zhou Chen must be fine. Qiang Xiaowa, your grades are better than mine. It shouldn't be a big problem to get admitted to the Beijing Normal University. Miao Miao and Li Si, you are applying for a junior college and there is a high probability that you will be admitted, so the five of us
Among them, the most dangerous one is me."
Hu Qiumin was the most melancholy among the five. She wanted to get admitted to a university in Shenzhen City. She applied to two schools, both of which were from Shenzhen City, but she was not very sure about her scores.
Cheng Miaomiao held her hand and comforted her: "I believe you will be fine, Huzi. You will definitely be able to go to Shenzhen City to reunite with Brother Yang Tao as you wish."
Hu Qiumin remained silent, of course she hoped so.
A year ago, her mother Hu Yue and Yang Songbai chose to divorce after all. Later, Yang Songbai had an accident and became paralyzed. Only then did the two get back together. Now Hu Yue mainly takes care of Yang Songbai.
Now, she was finally able to fully control Yang Songbai.
Zhou Chen knew about Yang Songbai's injury after watching the plot, but he couldn't remind him of this kind of thing. This was his job. Is it possible that he could stop Yang Songbai from working?
So he couldn't stop Yang Songbai from being injured at all, he could only watch it happen.
Qiang Xiaowa suddenly said in a low voice: "After that, we will be separated, right?"
Although he had only known each other for two years, Zhou Chen and the others were already his best friends, especially Cheng Miaomiao. Without Cheng Miaomiao, it would have been difficult for him to stay in Lin Qi Er Middle School.
, so he is naturally very reluctant to leave these friends.
His words also made several people fall silent.
Zhou Chen's face was calm. When it comes to separation and reunion, there is absolutely no one in the world who has more experience than him. The separation after the college entrance examination was just the most inconspicuous of all his separations.
Cheng Miaomiao was the most sentimental among them. She was originally an emotional girl, but now that she felt the aura of separation, she felt like she was about to be suffocated.
However, Li Si pretended to be strong and said: "We need to separate, but it is only a short separation. It's just university. Although we are not in the same city anymore, we still have to go home during the winter and summer vacations every year. I want to see each other then."
, isn’t it still a very easy and simple thing?”
Hu Qiumin also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are just going to school. It's not like we won't come back. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future."
Zhou Chen raised the soda in his hand.
"Separation is for a better reunion. Come and have a drink."
The four of them, Li Si, also restrained their emotions and raised their soda bottles.
"cheers."
…………
In August, everyone's admission notices were received one after another.
Zhou Chen was undoubtedly admitted to Fudan University, Qiang Xiaowa was admitted to Beijing Normal University as he wished, Hu Qiumin was admitted to the university of his first choice, and Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si were admitted to the same college as Zhou Chen.
A university town in the same city.
Among them, the one that had the greatest impact was undoubtedly Zhou Chen's results. Although Zhou Chen had restrained himself a little during the exam, he still won the top prize in the Liberal Arts Province, and then the whole Linqi Oilfield became lively.
Many people were rushing to find Zhou Chen, or conduct interviews, etc., but they did not find Zhou Chen because at this time, Zhou Chen had already boarded a plane to Xiangjiang.
"Oh, is this Xiangjiang? Xiangjiang, we are finally here."
Xiangjiang International Airport welcomed several young people. Cheng Miaomiao looked at the scenery outside the airport and shouted excitedly.
Beside her, Li Si and Hu Qiumin were equally excited and excited, and Zhou Chen looked at them with a smile.
After everyone received the admission notice, Zhou Chen proposed a quick trip, and then they jointly decided to complete the unsuccessful trip during the summer vacation of their freshman year of high school and head to Xiangjiang.
The difference is that last time it was a group of five people, this time there were only four of them. Cheng Yaya did not come because he would be a senior in high school in the second half of the year.
They had invited Qiang Xiaowa, but Qiang Xiaowa rejected him. It was not just a matter of money, but more importantly, he was going to the capital to study at university soon, so he couldn't bear to part with his grandfather and wanted to
In the remaining days, I will spend time with my grandfather.
Although Cheng Miaomiao and the others were a little disappointed, the four of them were still very happy traveling together. Zhou Chen arranged for food, drink, accommodation and transportation along the way, and went through all the procedures smoothly. They arrived in Xiangjiang, which is a bit dreamy for mainlanders.
international metropolis.
"Brother Si, Hu Hu, Zhou Chen, during the summer vacation of the first year of high school, we didn't succeed. I thought I would never have the chance to come to Xiangjiang in my life. Unexpectedly, in just two years, we completed the agreement we had not completed at the beginning. We
Finally arrived in Xiangjiang, I am so happy."
Cheng Miaomiao's eyes were red with excitement. Perhaps to the adults, their running away from home that time was just nonsense, but only they themselves understood how excited and expectant they were at that time. Even if they didn't go there in the end, they were still happy.
Their most important memory.
Li Si put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Miao Miao, this won't be our first time in Xiangjiang. No matter where you want to go in the future, I will be by your side, along with Hu Hu and Zhou Chen, don't you think so?"
"
"Yes, brother Si, just say yes."
"Well, if my eldest nephew makes a request, I, as an elder, will definitely support it."
