Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 156 Let’s Go Home for the New Year
After a small gathering with Chen Haining and the other two, Chen Zhou went home the next day.
I originally planned to come back on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve, but in the end I came back after the Chinese New Year's Eve.
As soon as Chen Zhou entered the door, his younger brother Chen Xiao looked behind him.
Chen Zhou asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
Chen Xiao said, "See if you brought your sister-in-law back. Dad and Mom have been complaining about this for the past two days."
Chen Zhou was embarrassed. What on earth was going on? He was just a freshman, okay?
Ignoring Chen Xiao's words, Chen Zhou asked, "How did you do in the final exam?"
Chen Xiao replied proudly: "I did just average in the exam, only ranked second in the grade."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Zhou, wanting to see the surprised expression on his brother's face.
After all, he had difficulty even making it into the top ten before.
To his disappointment, Chen Zhou showed no expression and just said calmly, "It's OK."
"Oh." Chen Xiao responded.
Chen Zhou glanced at him and chuckled, "You've made great progress. Don't be proud, keep working hard. You'll be taking the high school entrance exam after the New Year, so get good grades."
"Hehe, that's a must." Chen Xiao said confidently.
Chen Zhou took out a collection of wrong questions from his bag and handed it to Chen Xiao: "Hey, I see you don't have the habit of recording wrong questions, which is very bad. This is the collection of wrong questions I bought for you. You must develop a good habit of recording wrong questions."
Chen Xiao took the collection of wrong questions and whispered, "I thought you were going to bring me something good, but this is it."
Chen Zhou had already walked to the door of his room. When he heard Chen Xiao's voice, he immediately turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
Chen Xiao quickly said: "No, nothing, I just want to say thank you, thank you brother, you are so kind to me..."
Chen Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "Make good use of it."
After returning to the house, Chen Zhou simply packed up his things, then sat down at the table and put away the books he had brought back one by one.
Then he took out a piece of draft paper and wrote down the plan.
The winter vacation is quite long, lasting until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
During this period, Chen Zhou has no plans to go out. Apart from the necessary New Year greetings, he plans to concentrate on solving the problem.
Chen Xiao was bored staying outside, so he sneaked into Chen Zhou's room.
Seeing that Chen Zhou was writing something, he quietly came behind Chen Zhou.
Taking a sneak peek at Chen Zhou's schedule, Chen Xiao was secretly shocked. This guy really loves studying...
He immediately thought of something and asked, "Brother, the day after tomorrow..."
"Fuck, when did you come in? I didn't make any sound and you scared me." The sudden voice really scared Chen Zhou.
"Uh..." Chen Xiao looked at Chen Zhou apologetically, "I see you're too focused..."
Chen Zhou waved his hand: "What did you want to say just now?"
Chen Xiao remembered what he hadn't finished saying, and continued: "Brother, isn't the day after tomorrow Valentine's Day? Aren't you going out on a date with your sister-in-law?"
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned. It seemed that the day after tomorrow was really Valentine's Day.
Chen Zhou immediately thought of something, looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Are you in love?"
Chen Xiao immediately shook his head: " No."
"Then why are you so concerned about Valentine's Day?"
"I am just thinking about you, brother. Look at your plan. It has nothing . There is really no fun in life at all."
"Go away, little brat, you don't study hard, but you care about trivial things all day long."
After Chen Xiao left the room, Chen Zhou looked down at the plan he had just written. Indeed, he had not considered Yang Yiyi at all...
At noon, Chen Jianguo and Zhang Hongying returned home.
Knowing that Chen Zhou would be back today, the two bought a lot of vegetables to prepare food for their eldest son.
This naturally caused Chen Xiao to complain again. When he was at home, no meal was as sumptuous as today.
Chen Zhou joked: "Little brat, you eat and drink at home without worries every day, and you still complain."
Chen Xiao said, "What? Sometimes my parents are busy with work, so I cook for myself."
Chen Zhou: "That's an exercise for you."
Looking at the two children, Chen Jianguo and Zhang Hongying smiled lovingly.
Ever since Chen Zhou was admitted to Yanjing University, Chen Xiao has been under a lot of pressure.
At school, almost every teacher would compare him to his brother.
But what makes Chen Jianguo and Zhang Hongying happy is that Chen Xiao has turned pressure into motivation and has done well.
I used to only have average grades, but now I am second in the grade.
The neighbors all say that your family is going to have another Shui Mu Yan.
Chen Jianguo and the other man were naturally very happy to hear this.
Who doesn’t want their children to be outstanding enough?
Chen Jianguo thought of what his elder brother had told him, so he asked Chen Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, are you busy during the winter vacation? Um, your uncle..."
Although Chen Jianguo didn't finish his words, Chen Zhou already understood. He glanced at his father who was asking carefully, and said with a smile: "Not busy, tell uncle to ask Xiaoyong to come to see me every afternoon."
After a pause, Chen Zhou looked at Chen Xiao and winked at him.
Chen Xiao immediately understood what Chen Zhou meant. He was planning to tutor him and Chen Yong together again.
This is nothing in itself. It is something worth showing off and very nice to have a brother who is the top scorer in the college entrance examination tutoring you.
But when he thought about how Chen Zhou had given him tutoring during the summer vacation and had even given him his high school books, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Noticing Chen Zhou's actions, Chen Jianguo also looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Yes, you should also take some . The high school entrance exam is coming soon, so you have to hurry up. If you don't know anything, ask your brother while he is at home."
Chen Xiao nodded reluctantly.
After dinner, Chen Zhou was talking to Chen Jianguo, and Chen Xiao was called to wash the dishes.
While washing the dishes, Chen Xiao muttered, "Didn't they say the high school entrance exam is coming soon? Didn't they say we should hurry up? In the end, I still have to wash the dishes..."
Zhang Hongying, who was beside him, glanced at her son and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Chen Xiao quickly turned around and said with a smile: "No, I just feel so happy to have a good role model brother..."
When Chen Xiao finished washing the dishes and walked out, he saw Chen Zhou holding his cell phone and looking at something for Chen Jianguo.
Chen Xiao came up curiously and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Zhou said without even turning his head: "It depends on the results of the final exam."
Chen Xiao immediately asked: "Brother, how did you do in the exam?"
Chen Zhou tilted his head slightly and glanced at him: "Here you go."
After saying that, he threw the phone to Chen Xiao.
Before Chen Xiao had time to look, he heard Chen Jianguo's voice: "Study hard with your brother in the afternoon. Your mother and I are going to work."
"Oh." Chen Xiao replied and picked up his phone to look at it.
He slid for a while, but found that he had not reached the bottom yet. Does it take so many exams to get into college?
Also, is the test paper of Yenching University particularly simple? How come all the students got full marks?
No, how come there is someone with 101 points?
Chen Xiao suddenly remembered that he was ranked second in his grade and couldn't help but sigh softly.
