On the day of the college entrance examination, the candidates did not return to school immediately.
After staying in the hotel for another night, we took the bus back to Maochang High School.
When we get back to school, it’s holiday time as soon as we get off the bus.
On the way back, each team leader had already informed the time to check the scores and fill in the application form.
After Chen Zhou got off the car, he was surrounded by Chen Haining, Zhang Yifan and Li Xiang.
Chen Haining said, "Brother Chen, we agreed yesterday that we would go climb Mount Huangshan in two days, so please don't break your promise."
Chen Zhou glanced at Chen Haining and the other two, then said, "Just the four of us?"
Chen Haining immediately said: "Brother Chen, it would be fine if you could bring your sister-in-law with you."
Zhang Yifan and Li Xiang also looked at Chen Zhou.
"I told you not to shout. Yiyi and I don't have the kind of relationship you think. Are you itching for trouble again?" Chen Zhou glared at Chen Haining and made a gesture.
Chen Haining shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Li Xiang said, "Brother Chen, Haining didn't even mention the name, how do you know it was Yang Yiyi?"
Chen Zhou was somewhat helpless. After thinking for a while, he sighed softly and said, "Yiyi is a girl. You can't keep saying that, understand? And whether it's the Kongming lantern or something else, it's just a very ordinary agreement. If, I say if, I really fall in love with her, I will inform you the first time, okay?"
After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Zhang Yifan looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Actually, I think you two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Don't you have any ideas? Now that the college entrance examination is over, everyone did well, so why don't you take the initiative? Think about it carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again. Yang Yiyi is a very good girl."
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned and didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Let's wait until we go to college."
"Then the four of us shall go?" Chen Haining came up again and said.
Chen Zhou didn't say anything. He left with a sentence "I'll go home first today and talk to you later" and walked away.
Chen Zhou did not leave the school directly, but wandered around the school.
We walked and stopped here and there, saying goodbye to Maochang High School in this way.
Chen Zhou was still hanging around in the school until all the college entrance examination students had left.
Before he knew it, he had come to the shady place where he would digest his lunch every day.
Chen Zhou glanced towards the girls' dormitory but did not see the girl.
After waiting for a while, Chen Zhou did not wait for Yang Yiyi, but waited for Wang Xuehui.
"Chen Zhou, what are you doing?" Wang Xuehui looked at the student strangely.
Wang Xuehui's words startled Chen Zhou, who turned around immediately and said, "Teacher Wang, what are you doing?"
"Now that I'm done with my work, I can finally have a good rest. I haven't drunk alcohol for a long time, so I'll go to my brother's place to have a couple of drinks at noon." Wang Xuehui said, with a look of aftertaste.
I really didn't expect that the always old-fashioned Teacher Wang would be like this. Chen Zhou smiled softly.
Hearing Chen Zhou's laughter, Wang Xuehui came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he lost his composure in front of his students.
Chen Zhou said at the right time: "Let's go, Teacher Wang, I also want to go back, shall we go together?"
"Yeah, OK." Wang Xuehui nodded and asked, "Chen Zhou, how was the college entrance examination?"
"Okay."
"I can take the exam...Which school do you plan to apply to?"
" talk later ."
“…”
After returning to the rental house, Chen Zhou began to pack his things, first packing daily necessities, quilts, and luggage except for books.
Then I have to sort out those piles of review materials.
Chen Zhou thought about it and decided to keep a few commemorative books and throw the rest away, leaving them to the landlord to sell as scrap.
After all, the landlord has taken extra care of him since he knew he was Wang Xuehui's student.
Sometimes food and drinks would be given to Chen Zhou.
Like today, Chen Zhou and Wang Xuehui came together, and the landlord invited Chen Zhou to have lunch together.
Chen Zhou declined twice, but then he stopped refusing.
At around 1 p.m., Chen Zhou said goodbye to the landlord and others, and then took the bus home from Qing Station.
In the car, Chen Zhou sent another message to Yang Yiyi: Yiyi, I'm going home first, and we'll check the scores together later.
Before, when packing up, Chen Zhou also sent a message to Yang Yiyi.
But Yang Yiyi never replied.
For the first time, Chen Zhou felt that the two-hour drive seemed so long.
He usually falls asleep when he's on the bus, but today he stayed awake for a rare time and watched the movie on the bus with great interest.
But I didn’t expect that I had finished watching a movie and still hadn’t reached the station.
Putting aside the idea that he could arrive there after a good sleep, Chen Zhou continued to watch the next movie.
Finally, when the movie was halfway through, the bus arrived.
Chen Zhou took a look at the name of the movie, which was "The Book of Eli".
After taking note, Chen Zhou got off the bus, planning to finish watching the movie after returning home.
As soon as he got off the car, Chen Zhou saw his father Chen Jianguo standing not far away.
Before Chen Zhou could walk over, Chen Jianguo came up to him.
Help Chen Zhou take out the quilts, clothes hangers, washbasins, luggage, etc. from the belly of the bus.
Chen Jianguo looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Where's your book?"
"Leave it to the landlord." Chen Zhou replied.
Chen Jianguo asked again: "Did you leave it all to the landlord?"
"Yeah, almost. I just brought a few as souvenirs."
"Why don't you bring some for your brother? Won't he be able to use it when he's in his third year of high school?"
"Chen Xiao is in his third year of high school. The textbooks may have changed. How can he use my materials? Besides, can I still take care of him?"
Chen Jianguo glanced at the large and small bags and said, "Uh... that's true."
Chen Jianguo and Chen Zhou divided the luggage in half, carried them in one hand and carried them in the other, and walked out of the station.
Because the station was new and there were few taxis around, the two waited for a long time before a taxi came.
But there was too much luggage and the trunk couldn't fit it all.
Chen Zhou wanted to sit in the back seat with the extra luggage, but Chen Jianguo pulled him to the passenger seat.
Chen Jianguo sat in the back seat by himself, looking after the luggage.
Chen Zhou glanced at his father, fastened his seat belt, told the driver the location, and the taxi started.
"You have so many bags? Are you college entrance examination candidates?" the driver asked curiously.
"Yes, I just finished the exam." Chen Zhou nodded.
The driver asked: "How did you do on the test? Where did you go to high school?"
Chen Zhou: "Maochang High School. I think I did OK in the exam."
When the driver asked how the test went, Chen Jianguo kept staring at his son.
When he heard Chen Zhou say that he did well in the exam, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The driver chatted with Chen Zhou for a few more words, and then after learning that Chen Zhou was repeating a grade, he began to say that repeating at Maochang High School was stressful and that it was not easy to get through this year.
Chen Zhou just nodded, smiled, and occasionally responded.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the community where Chen Zhou lived.
Because when Chen Jianguo was about to arrive, he called his wife and asked her to come down quickly to get the things.
So, Chen Zhou saw Zhang Hongying standing at the entrance of the community from a distance.
"Mom, I'm back!" Chen Zhou ran towards Zhang Hongying, carrying a bag and a washbasin.
Zhang Hongying hurried over, took the things from Chen Zhou's hand, looked at Chen Zhou carefully, and then took Chen Zhou home first.
As for the remaining luggage, Chen Jianguo made about three trips to move it all.
