Brothers, you look at me and I look at you, just looking at each other. After a moment, Xu Tonglu nodded slightly and his voice was lower than before, "Brother, I understand what you mean."
After a pause, he suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, brother, you can check the college entrance examination scores by phone a few days ago. I haven't checked them yet, and I haven't gone to the school to ask. I think... I want to wait until you come back to check the scores.
.”
Comrade Xu was startled.
Ge Yuzhu next to him was also startled, "Second brother? Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? The college entrance examination scores have come out, how can you resist not checking?"
Xu Tonglu chuckled, "Why are you anxious? The exam is over anyway. Checking it early or later will not affect your scores."
After saying that, he looked at Comrade Xu and said, "Brother, how about we call and check now?"
Tongdao Xu looked at him deeply and nodded.
Xu Tonglu smiled and stood up, "I'll get the admission ticket number..."
With that said, he left.
Not long after, Ge Xiaozhu came back with the freshly heated soup.
It's some pork liver and egg soup.
There is also a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks.
Xu Tongdao served rice, soaked it in pork liver soup, and ate while waiting.
During this period, his mother also chatted with him, asking him how his business was lately? Asked him if he bought the car outside? How much did that car cost?
etc.
Comrade Xu said casually: "Several hundred thousand!"
She frowned and advised him to save his money in the future and not to be too lavish.
Xu Tongdao promised, but he was already thinking in his heart, when his brother goes to college, should he go to the city where he went to college and buy an apartment?
Firstly, it allows my brother to have a quiet environment to study during college; secondly, he knows that housing prices will skyrocket in the future. If he buys a house now, no matter which city he goes to buy it in, the value will definitely increase in the future and he will never lose money; thirdly, he
... He thought that when he, his mother, or his sister went to visit his brother in the future, they would have a place to stay.
After a while, Xu Tonglu came back with his cell phone and a note.
Frowning, the smile disappeared from his face.
Comrade Xu frowned when he saw it, "What? Didn't you do well in the exam? Have you checked your scores?"
Xu Tonglu nodded, "Well, I just checked and found that I didn't do well in the exam."
"Didn't do well in the exam? Score? What score? Xiaolu, it's not your college entrance examination score, is it?" Ge Xiaozhu was very surprised.
Ge Yuzhu also frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, what score did you get in the test this time? It should be no problem to go to university, right?"
Comrade Xu put down the chopsticks in his hand, his brows unable to relax, "Tell me! How many points did you get in this test?"
Ge Yuzhu: "Yes, second brother, tell me quickly! I'm so anxious!"
"Xiaolu, can you go to college?"
Ge Xiaozhu looked worried.
Xu Tonglu sighed, threw the note in his hand on the dining table, and sat down on the bench, "Oh! It was a little less than I expected, so I got 704 points!"
"Ah?" Ge Yuzhu exclaimed.
Ge Xiaozhu was uneducated and didn't understand these things. When he heard this, his face collapsed: "Only 704 points? Can't I get into college with this score? Isn't it like that I can't get into university?"
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Xu Tonglu pursed his lips, thinking that this kid was playing tricks on him, so he looked at Xu Tonglu with cold eyes, his right hand was about to move, and he wanted to slap this guy.
But he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
My mood instantly improved.
Ge Yuzhu: "Mom! What? 704 points are not enough? This is very high, right? The second brother is so bad! He just said he didn't do well in the exam this time. We all thought he really failed the exam this time.
I got a low score! With a score of 704, maybe we will be the number one scholar in the province! Do you know that we are the number one scholar in the province? With such a high score, you can’t go to college? Mom! You are so funny!”
"Ah? This score is very high? Is it true?"
Ge Xiaozhu was doubtful, surprised and happy. He looked at Xu Tonglu and then at Xu Tongdao. He couldn't help but ask Xu Tongdao, "Xiaodao, tell mom, is this score really high? Isn't it?"
Xu Tongdao smiled and said to Xu Tonglu, "Ask your youngest son! He just said he didn't do well in the exam! This kid!"
Ge Yuzhu: "That's right! The second brother just said clearly that his estimated score this time was around 700, but it turned out that he scored more than 700 in the test. He also said he didn't do well in the test. He was obviously teasing us on purpose! It's so bad!
"
Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask Xu Tonglu again, "Xiaolu, tell mom! Is this score really high? Is it safe to go to college?"
However, Xu Tonglu really didn't have a smile on his face at this time.
He forced out a smile and nodded slightly, "Mom, it will definitely be fine to go to college. Don't worry about this."
After finishing speaking, he sighed, glanced at Xu Tongdao, and said: "Brother, actually I didn't tell the truth just now. I estimated the score this time, and actually estimated it by more than 720 points. Therefore, I only got 704 in the test. I really didn't tell the truth."
I think I didn’t do well in the exam, and I didn’t mean to lie to you.”
As he said that, he looked at Ge Yuzhu again, "Yuzhu, don't keep shouting about provincial champion, 704, even our city's champion may not be able to get it, and there is little hope of provincial champion. Don't keep shouting, so that others can hear you.
It’s a joke.”
Ge Yuzhu retorted, "I don't believe it! With such a high score, even if you don't get the provincial champion, you will definitely be the city champion. It's absolutely impossible that you can't even get the city champion!"
Xu Tonglu shook his head, "What's impossible? The provincial champions in our province over the years are usually either from Tianyun City or our Shuiniao City. If the provincial champion this time also comes from our Shuiniao City, then the city champion will be the provincial champion."
At this moment, Xu Tongdao also saw that his younger brother Xu Tonglu was indeed in a low mood.
It doesn't look like it's just pretending.
This suddenly gave him a new understanding of this boy Xu Tonglu. He really didn't know that this boy was so high-spirited before.
Even though I got such a high score in the exam, I felt depressed because I was not sure that I would get the top prize in the province.
He suddenly understood a little bit about the original time and space, and why this kid was so self-destructive and deviant.
The spirit is so high, but there is such a big gap in reality...
…
What is "one word becomes a prophecy"?
This idiom came true for Xu Tonglu a few days later.
A few days later, Tongdao Xu, who had returned to Shuiniao City, was surfing the Internet when he suddenly saw on the local news the results of Hui Province’s top scorer in the liberal arts and sciences college entrance examination this year.
As expected, the number one scholar came from Mizutori City.
Suddenly I wondered if my brother Xu Tonglu’s mouth was open?
710 points.
The top scorer in Hui Province's college entrance examination this year is a classmate named Zhou from the High School Affiliated to Shuiniao University in Shuiniao City.
I got 710 points on the exam.
Only 6 points higher than Xu Tonglu.
But with this 6-point difference, Xu Tonglu not only missed the chance to win the top prize in science this year, he also didn’t get the chance to win the top prize in the city.
When he saw this news report, Xu Tongdao was silent for a long time.
There is a difference of 6 points, one person has attracted much attention and became famous all over the world, while the other person... remains unknown.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that this was quite good. He did not have the title of No. 1 scholar in the province or city, which might be a good thing for his younger brother Xu Tonglu.
At least, without these false reputations, this kid should not be able to float.
