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 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 photos 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 lead them. 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 want.

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 the 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. 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.

"Xiaochen, 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 was history. The college entrance examination was the test that decided one's 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 in the same school. Before the exam, Li Si, Hu Qiumin, and Qiang Xiaowa took exams in other schools.

Before the exam, Zhou Chen went out of his way to find Cheng Miaomiao. Compared with his calmness, Cheng Miaomiao looked very nervous.

"Zhou Chen, I'm very nervous now. What should I do? What should I do?"

Zhou Chen comforted you 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 not talented enough 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 one with a bad mentality and mood may be Hu Qiumin.

Zhou Chen and the other two had never been pressured by their families, but she was different. Her mother was very strict with her and paid special attention to her college entrance examination. She also had a clear goal, wanting to be admitted to a university in Shenzhen, so she was under great pressure.

Even if Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si asked her to play together, she was absent-minded most of the time. Her situation was mainly her own problem, and no one could persuade her.

The order of filling out the college entrance examination application in 1999 was to take the college entrance examination first, then start estimating the scores after the end, and then fill out the application according to your own estimated scores. The college entrance examination scores would not be announced until after filling out the application, so the requirements for estimating the scores were very strict, and the risk of filling out the application was relatively high.

In this case, there would often be errors in estimating the scores, resulting in the wrong university application, such as estimating the scores too high, and not being admitted to a good university, or estimating the scores too low, resulting in not daring to apply to the university of your choice. These two situations often occur.

After the school arranged the score estimation, Zhou Chen directly applied for Fudan University. As soon as he submitted it, he was found by the school’s teachers, dean of teaching, and principal.

Because Zhou Chen's estimated score was very high, there would be no problem in applying for Tsinghua or Peking University, but Zhou Chen chose Fudan University in Shanghai. Although this school is also one of the best universities in China, it is still a level lower than Tsinghua and Peking University. Whether it is the teacher or the principal, they hope that Zhou Chen will apply for Tsinghua and Peking University.

But Zhou Chen's attitude was very firm. No matter how they persuaded him, he did not change his mind. For this reason, they also went to Zhou Chen's home together, found Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun, and talked for an hour or two, but Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun did not interfere with Zhou Chen's choice at all.

In fact, according to Sun Xiuyun's idea, if she was not afraid of delaying Zhou Chen's future, she really wanted Zhou Chen to apply for a university in the province, so that it would be convenient to go home frequently. If they wanted to, they could take a day off to go back and forth.

But in the end, she said nothing and chose to respect Zhou Chen's choice. After more than two years of getting along, she has regarded Zhou Chen as her own child and a relative, so she did not want to interfere with Zhou Chen's choice.

Besides, Zhou Chen was going to Shanghai to attend university, which was also told to them long ago. They had been mentally prepared for it, and the school leaders could not persuade them at all.

Outside the flower room, Zhou Chen and the other five gathered together again. They had worked hard to prepare for the exam some time ago. Now the college entrance examination is over, and the volunteers have been filled. Although there is still the final admission, the hanging hearts have been settled for the most part.

Among the five people, Hu Qiumin did not change and applied for a university in Shenzhen, while Qiang Xiaowa applied for Beijing Normal University. The reason why he applied for this university was that he did not have to spend money, and he would be assigned a job in the future. For a family like his, it was more cost-effective than going to other universities.

As for Zhou Chen, he had naturally decided long ago and only applied for one choice, which was Shanghai Fudan University.

Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si, after discussing with their parents, applied for the same university, which was a junior college in the same university town as Fudan.

Although they worked hard in the later period, the scores of several mock exams could only occasionally reach the undergraduate line, so they did not expect to perform exceptionally well and be admitted to undergraduate studies, but directly chose to apply for junior colleges.

Their parents were actually quite relieved about their choice of schools in Shanghai, because Zhou Chen also applied for a university in Shanghai. They felt that Zhou Chen was much more mature than Cheng Miaomiao and his peers. If they went to school together, he would definitely be able to take care of Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si.

Only Cheng Miaomiao's mother Jia Daiyu had some complaints. She was still hoping that her daughter could go to Beijing, but unfortunately her wish was dashed.

"Zhou Chen will definitely be fine. Qiang Xiaowa, your grades are better than mine, so it shouldn't be a problem to get into Beijing Normal University. Miaomiao and Li Si applied for a junior college, and there is a high probability that they will be admitted. So among the five of us, I am the most vulnerable."

Hu Qiumin was the most melancholy of the five. She wanted to go to a university in Shenzhen and applied for two schools, both of which were in Shenzhen, but she was not very sure about her score.

Cheng Miaomiao took her hand and comforted her, "I believe you will definitely be fine, Hu Zi, you will definitely be able to go to Shenzhen to reunite with Brother Yang Tao as you wish."

Hu Qiumin remained silent, and of course she hoped so.

A year ago, her mother Hu Yue and Yang Songbai finally did not go on and chose to divorce. Later, Yang Songbai had an accident and became paralyzed on one side of his body. The two got back together. Now it is mainly Hu Yue who takes care of Yang Songbai. Now, she can finally control Yang Songbai completely.

Zhou Chen knew about Yang Songbai's injury after reading the plot, but he couldn't remind him of such things. This is his job. Could he let Yang Songbai stop working?

So he couldn't stop Yang Songbai from getting hurt and could only watch it happen.

Qiang Xiaowa suddenly said in a low voice: "Then we will separate, right?"

Although he has only known Zhou Chen and the other four for two years, Zhou Chen and the others are already his best friends, especially Cheng Miaomiao. If it weren't for Cheng Miaomiao, he might have a hard time staying in Lin No. 72 Middle School, so he naturally couldn't bear to leave these friends.

His words also made everyone silent.

Zhou Chen's face was calm. When it came to separation and reunion, no one in the world had more experience than him. The small separation after the college entrance examination was just the most inconspicuous one among all his separations.

Cheng Miaomiao was the most sentimental among them. She was originally an emotional girl, but now she felt the aura of separation, which made her feel as if she was about to suffocate.

However, Li Si pretended to be strong and said: "We need to separate, but it is only a short separation. It's just college. Although we are not in the same city, we still have to go home every winter and summer vacation. 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 received their admission notices one after another.

Zhou Chen was undoubtedly admitted to Fudan University, Qiang Xiaowa was also admitted to Beijing Normal University as he wished, Hu Qiumin was also admitted to the university of his first choice, Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si were also admitted to the same junior college, just like Zhou Chen A university town in the same city.

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 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 would go 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, spend good time with your 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. They completed all the procedures smoothly and arrived in Xiangjiang, which is a bit dreamy for mainlanders. international metropolis.

"Brother Si, Hu Hu, Zhou Chen, during the summer vacation of the freshman year of high school, we didn't succeed. I thought I would never have the chance to come to Xiangjiang in this life. Unexpectedly, in just two years, we completed the agreement we had not completed at the beginning. We I am so happy to have finally arrived in Xiangjiang. ”

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes were red with excitement. Perhaps to the adults, their running away from home that time was a fool's errand, but only they themselves understood how excited and expectant they were at that time. Even if they didn't make it in the end, they were still One of their most important memories.

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 with you, 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."

"Get lost, Zhou Chen."

"Ha ha……"
