When Zhang Wenhao and his parents came to a box on the sixth floor of Jiangcheng Hotel, there were already more than ten people sitting in the box. Among these ten people, there were men and women, old and young. They were sitting around a large dining table at the moment.
There was a lively discussion about something.
These people are all relatives from Zhang Wenhao's father's side, grandparents, uncles, uncles and aunts, and other members of the family gathered together just for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.
Ever since uncle Zhang Xingyao started his business and made a lot of money, it has become a habit of the Zhang family to have New Year's Eve dinner together in a big hotel in recent years. Today's New Year's Eve dinner is no exception, as the uncle is still the host.
Although the Jiangcheng Hotel is one of the best hotels in the entire Jiangcheng City, Zhang Wenhao still has no interest in today's New Year's Eve dinner, because in his opinion, every New Year's Eve dinner is almost always hosted by his uncle Zhang Xingyao.
A one-man show of man.
Brag to the whole family about how much money they made this year, what kind of big projects they have taken on, what kind of powerful people they have made friends with, or praise how obedient and sensible their daughter Zhang Ranran is, and how outstanding her academic performance is.
On the other hand, Zhang Wenhao's family is nothing compared to his uncle Zhang Xingyao's family.
Zhang Wenhao's parents are both ordinary workers in a state-owned mold factory in Jiangcheng City. The family's annual income is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, not even more than his uncle earns in a month. Zhang Wenhao is also unsatisfactory. This year, he and his cousin Zhang Ranran were both
As a senior high school graduate, he failed to score more than 400 points in every mock test. Judging from this, it would be a blessing to go to a slightly better junior college for this summer's college entrance examination.
But every time he was with his uncle's family, he always liked to compare himself with Zhang Ranran. Who knew that he was the only one in the Zhang family who was similar in age to Zhang Ranran, and they were in the same grade. The uncle wanted to find someone to foil Zhang Ranran.
With Ran Ran’s excellence, Zhang Wenhao is the perfect candidate.
As soon as they entered the box door, the family of three said hello to their grandparents, and then the uncle pulled his parents into the chatting atmosphere. Zhang Wenhao sat silently between his parents, listening to the adults at the table chatting about some countries.
It was important, so I took out my mobile phone, randomly found a novel and started reading.
However, the topic suddenly shifted from national affairs to the college entrance examination for some reason. The uncle said with a proud face: "At the end of last semester, Ran Ran scored 692 points in the mock exam. Their class teacher said that as long as Ran Ran performed normally in the college entrance examination, she would pass the key points.
There’s nothing wrong with the university.”
My sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei is usually the closest to her uncle's family. At this time, her reaction was also the quickest. She exclaimed: "Oh, Ran Ran is going to be the first college student in our Zhang family to graduate from a key university! Brother and sister-in-law, your education is better."
Fang, if this brat of mine can be half as good as Ran Ran in the future, I will be satisfied."
The little fat man who was immersed in eating was only in his early ten years. His name was Qin Xuan, his sister-in-law’s precious son. When he heard his mother making fun of him, Qin Xuan put down the lobster in his hand and muttered with his oily mouth: “Yes.
Is it difficult for me to be half as good as Sister Ran Ran? Sister Ran Ran scored 692 points, so I can reach the standard with 350 points. Even Brother Wen Hao can do this, so of course I have no problem!"
Zhang Wenhao's expression suddenly dulled, but he felt angry in his heart. This brat was usually a follower that he couldn't get rid of, but now he used himself as a shield and didn't forget to kill him. It was really annoying...
My sister-in-law patted Qin Xuan on the head, laughed and scolded: "You brat, you mean half the things you say, right? I'll beat your ass into four parts!"
The whole table burst into laughter. The uncle laughed heartily a few times, looked at Zhang Wenhao who was reading a novel on his mobile phone, and asked with a smile: "Wenhao, how many points did you get in the final mock test?"
Zhang Wenhao was most afraid that they would bring the topic to him, but he didn't think about what he was afraid of. He was quite dissatisfied and thought to himself: "You can praise your daughter as much as you want, why do you want to involve me? You always use me as a negative comparison.
Is it interesting? How about someone else?
But after all, he was his uncle, so Zhang Wenhao could only put down his phone and said with a hint of embarrassment: "382."
"Oh, there's progress, there's progress!" The uncle said with praise: "With this score, it's no problem to get into a junior college. If you work hard in the last semester, it's not a big problem to get into a junior college. If you get into a junior college, it won't be a big problem.
Ben, uncle will give you a laptop."
Zhang Wenhao laughed dryly, thanked him and stopped talking. In their eyes, his cousin Zhang Ranran was a candidate for the exam, and he would be highly regarded if he could get three exams.
Although he felt quite depressed and unhappy, when Zhang Wenhao thought about studying, he also felt deeply guilty towards his parents. He was not stupid or stupid, but he just couldn't learn, and the little inspiration in his brain was useless.
On the right path.
Cousin Zhang Ranran saw that Zhang Wenhao was a little resentful, so she couldn't help but said: "Wenhao, don't worry, come to my house often when you have time, and the two of us will review together, so that if you don't understand anything, I can try my best to help you."
Tell me."
Zhang Wenhao knows that his cousin Zhang Ranran is kind-hearted. Although she is only more than four months older than him, she still loves him very much. Her words are not mixed with any water.
Just when Zhang Wenhao wanted to say thank you, the aunt on the side scolded: "Ran Ran, don't be ridiculous. In the last semester, your only task is to review your homework and prepare for the college entrance examination. You can't be distracted. Besides, you're not studying well."
You have to teach well. If Wenhao falls behind after reviewing his grades with you, how can you, the elder sister, afford it?"
How could Zhang Wenhao not know about her aunt's little thoughts? In her opinion, if Zhang Ranran helped her review, it would definitely affect Zhang Ranran herself, and she would never let herself hold her cousin back.
At this time, Zhang Wenhao's father Zhang Xingping said: "Brother and sister-in-law, Hua Fang and I have actually thought about it. Wenhao is not good at studying, and he can't get into a good school for the college entrance examination. If he goes to a junior college, it will be difficult to find a job.
, However, our unit does have a number of places for the commissioned training this year. I went to the Light Industry College under the Provincial University of Technology. Although the diplomas from the commissioned training are not recognized outside the country, they are still recognized within the unit. I am thinking about going to the leader to do some activities after the New Year.
Send some gifts and see if we can get a spot for Wen Hao."
"Invested training?" The uncle smacked his lips meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Whether it's through training, you can go to school directly without taking the college entrance examination, but you also know that the diplomas obtained by the training are not recognized outside, and your unit has not been profitable in recent years.
That’s great. If the company loses its job in the future, what will happen to the child’s employment?”
Zhang Xingping shook his head helplessly, gave a wry smile, and said: "No one can say for sure in the short term, but the training programs are all for the corresponding majors, and they are relatively practical. If the children enter, they can learn some skills, and they will be able to work in the same industry in the future."
Finding a job is not a big problem, and the mold processing industry is quite promising now.”
"That's right." The uncle nodded and said, "In this way, it is an extra layer of insurance." After that, the uncle added: "Xingping, there are too many children of employees in your unit, and I guess many people are jealous.
Keep an eye on the training quota, and do things related to activities as early as possible rather than later. If you need money, say hello to the big brother."
Zhang Xingping nodded his thanks and glanced sideways at Zhang Wenhao beside him. Zhang Wenhao met his father's eyes. Seeing the melancholy in his father's eyes, he wanted to open a crack in the ground and crawl in.
At the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone else enjoyed it, but Zhang Wenhao's family of three ate it tastelessly.
After dinner, the uncle proposed to separate two cars with the aunt to send the family back, but Zhang Xingping politely refused. There was no taxi on the street on New Year's Eve, so the family of three walked for more than half an hour in the cold wind.
, all the way silent.
After returning home, Zhang Wenhao was about to go back to his room to rest after washing up. His father, who was sitting in the living room and smoking a cigarette, suddenly called out to him and sighed: "Son, your father has no hope of getting ahead in this life. You can't work harder."
Son, do you want to make your father look good?"
Zhang Wenhao's face suddenly felt hot. He looked down at his toes, not daring to raise his head to look at his father.
Mother Song Huafang couldn't help but muttered: "Okay, okay, don't make the child uncomfortable in the middle of the night, wash up quickly and go back to the room to sleep."
Zhang Xingping sighed deeply and said: "Wen Hao, go to bed early. Dad drank some wine today and is feeling depressed. Don't put any pressure on you. Let's let nature take its course. What should be ours is ours and what shouldn't be.
, we don’t force it either.”
As if Zhang Wenhao had been granted amnesty, he fled back to his room. As soon as the door was closed, he fell on the bed, feeling guilty for himself.
In the past, Zhang Wenhao always felt that there was an endless tomorrow, and he always felt that the college entrance examination was still far away, but today's New Year's Eve dinner made him feel great pressure. There are only four months left before the college entrance examination.
Got it!
It was also a momentary stimulation that made Zhang Wenhao sit at his desk in the middle of the night for the first time, took out the mathematics textbook that he had always had a headache for, and forced himself to start doing the exercises.
It's just that it doesn't matter what you do. Nine out of ten questions are wrong. The only correct question has a strong element of luck.
Zhang Wenhao's usual math test score was only 30 or 40 points at most, and 80% of his scores were obtained by relying on multiple-choice questions. Today, he suddenly found that he was lacking too much. He felt irritated, turned on the computer, and entered "How?" on the search page.
Learning is the most effective”
A lot of results came out of the search. Zhang Wenhao raised his hand and clicked on the first one. Unexpectedly, there was nothing on this website and only a dialog box popped up.
"Would you like to be the only tester of the super learning system?"
Zhang Wenhao didn't care about his super learning system. He just wanted to find a life-saving straw, so he couldn't wait to click the "Yes" option.
Suddenly, a burst of strong current came from the mouse, instantly knocking Zhang Wenhao unconscious.
