Chapter 1707 The Red Envelope that Cannot Be Avoided, Primary School to Junior High School

Zhou Chen and Wu Shanshan are in the same class. Zhang Min is also in fifth grade, but not in the same class as them. However, they are both in fifth grade. They sisters all know how good Zhou Chen’s grades are. Zhou Chen’s homework answers are almost equal to Correct answer.

When Wu Shanshan borrowed homework from Zhou Chen, she really wanted to compare it with her own homework to check and find errors, while Zhang Min wanted to copy Zhou Chen's homework more.

Zhou Chen didn't care about that much. If they wanted to borrow it from him, he would. As for studying or copying, he didn't care. Wu Shanshan's study was indeed good and she was ranked among the top five in the class. As for Zhang Min, her level was a bit lower. If it's too low, you can only be ranked at the bottom of the class.

Wu Shanshan suddenly asked Zhuang Tunan: "Zhuang Tunan, is there a lot of academic pressure in the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School? Are the students there studying very well?"

Zhuang Tunan said: "The competition in No. 1 Middle School is indeed quite high. There are many good students and the pressure to study is high. However, not all of them are good students. In fact, there are also some poor students. It's just that there are more good students than the Affiliated Middle School."

"Zhuang Tuxi, you must have passed the No. 1 high school entrance exam this year in junior high school, right? It must be very easy for you to take the No. 1 high school exam."

"Indeed, Zhuang Tuxi will definitely pass the exam."

Listening to the discussion of several children, the parents of the three families were all smiling, especially Zhuang Chaoying, whose face was even more radiant. After all, among the three families, their children were the best in academics, and he was also the best in this kind of thing. Proud.

Song Ying distributed the snacks she bought to several children. After sitting down, she said with emotion: "Junior high school and elementary school are indeed different. Look at Tunan. She has only been in junior high school for a few months and she is thinner than before."

Huang Ling smiled and said: "Where has he lost weight? He has grown taller. He does a lot of exercise in No. 1 Middle School. In the past six months, he has grown a lot. But now he is really under a lot of study pressure. He has to do a lot of exercises every night." I write a lot of homework and it takes much longer than when I was in elementary school.”

As a teacher, Zhuang Chaoying has the most say.

"This junior high school is indeed two different concepts from primary school, because junior high school has many subjects and courses. Those who can get into the first middle school are the elites selected by each primary school. The competition pressure is much greater. If Tunan is not serious, If you don’t learn, you definitely won’t be able to keep up. This is also a kind of healthy competition.”

Wu Jianguo gave a thumbs up: "After all, it's Teacher Zhuang who speaks well. Unlike me, who is a big boss and knows nothing about learning."

Zhang Amei said sarcastically: "Of course. Look at Teacher Zhuang and Lin Gong. One is a high school teacher leading the graduating class, and the other is a college student. You only have an elementary school education, so you can't compare to them."

"Don't say that. I'm not a college student. I only went to college for one year in total, which means I graduated from high school."

Lin Wufeng couldn't stand Zhang Amei's flattery and said modestly.

"After one year of college, that's a college student."

"Yes, he is still a college student from a prestigious university."

Zhou Chen also lamented that Lin Wufeng was really capable, but it was a pity that he was born in the wrong era. If he could graduate from college, his achievements would definitely be much better than now. But things are unpredictable and his fate is like this, and he can't change anything.

Suddenly, Zhang Amei said "Oops" and then took out the red envelope from her pocket sheepishly.

"Well, it's my fault. Shouldn't I have given it to you as soon as you walked in?"

When Zhuang Lin and his family saw Zhang Amei take out the red envelope, their expressions changed. Song Ying and Huang Ling even stared at each other. Their two families are very close and usually help each other. Last year, due to special circumstances, there was no one. We get together to give each other red envelopes, but this year, we are still prepared.

It's just that they never thought of giving red envelopes in front of the Wu family. Zhang Amei's sudden move made their faces freeze, because they didn't prepare so many red envelopes at all.

Song Ying prepared three, but Huang Ling only prepared one.

But before they could say anything, Zhang Amei had already started handing out red envelopes.

"Okay, kids, red envelopes are given out."

Then he gave red envelopes to Zhuang Lin's two children one by one.

During this process, Lin Wufeng got up hurriedly, went to the kitchen, and then turned back and quietly gave the red envelope to Song Ying.

Song Ying took the red envelope and gave it to the six children of the Zhuang family and the Wu family. She also said happy words and blessings one by one. Although she gave out six red envelopes, she still had a smile on her face and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. What's wrong with it?

The rest of Huang Ling was embarrassed. Zhuang Chaoying also winked at Huang Ling. He also knew that Huang Ling would only cover it for Lin Dongzhe.

She opened her head and looked outside, and said softly: "Hey, why is the door open? I'll go and close the door outside."

With that said, he hurried out, closed the door quickly, ran back to his home, took out three red envelopes from the cabinet, and stuffed fifty cents into each.

Because Song Ying was very kind to their family, Huang Ling remembered her kindness and gave Lin Dongzhe two dollars in the red envelope.

Inside the house, Wu Jianguo said: "We are all neighbors, so there is no need to give red envelopes back and forth."

Zhang Amei retorted without giving any face: "What do you know? The Chinese New Year is just for good luck."

Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng both nodded in agreement.

"Yes, just for good luck, for good luck."

Zhou Chen silently glanced at Zhang Amei. It seemed that the red envelope incident was still happening after a year, but based on his understanding of Huang Ling, this time it would definitely not be the same as the red envelope issue in the plot.

Huang Ling walked in again, holding a red envelope in her hand. Zhuang Chaoying stood up and went to get the red envelope to hand out, but Huang Ling shrank her hand and avoided his hand.

"Come on, Dongzhe, this is your red envelope, Shanshan, this is yours, Xiaomin, Xiaojun and yours."

She gave Lin Dongzhe two yuan, and the other three were fifty cents. She was worried about letting Zhuang Chaoying distribute the red envelopes. If she distributed the red envelopes to the wrong person, it would be troublesome.

After distributing the red envelopes, the three families sat for a while and then dispersed.

Wu Shanshan followed Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen gave her his homework book. She thanked Zhou Chen with a happy face, and then left with the homework book.

Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying did not ask for the red envelopes Zhou Chen and his family received. In this regard, they were more tolerant of their children. Zhuang Chaoying was the same in this matter. As long as it did not involve the old Zhuang family and his reputation, his mind was clear.

As expected, several red envelopes were fifty cents, and Zhou Chen directly gave both red envelopes to Zhuang Xiaoting.

Zhuang Xiaoting shouted happily: "Thank you, second brother, second brother, I will buy you firecrackers later."

Zhuang Tunan was not as generous as Zhou Chen. He carefully kept his money. After entering junior high school, he had more money to spend than in elementary school. He and Lin Dongzhe did a small business selling homework in private, but they only made a little money, which was not enough for daily use.

At Song Ying's house, Song Ying confiscated Lin Dongzhe's red envelope. After no one was around, she opened the red envelope.

She opened one for fifty cents and another for two yuan.

"No need to think, the fifty cents must be from Zhang A-mei, and the two yuan must be from Ling Jie."

Song Ying knew it as soon as she saw the red envelope. With Zhang A-mei's greedy look, it was impossible for her to have two yuan.

"Oh, this Zhang A-mei is really calculating. She even calculates the red envelopes for children."

"Okay, just know it, don't tell anyone. We are neighbors, there is no need to make a fuss over a little red envelope money."

"Although the money is not much, it can show a person's character."

Song Ying originally looked down on Zhang A-mei. Since Zhang A-mei married Wu Jianguo, everyone knows that the neighbors are partial to her. Zhang Min, the biological daughter, eats well and uses good things, and does not have to do any work. Wu Shanshan, who is not the biological daughter, is despised and exploited in various ways, and has to do all the housework.

"Old Wu is the same. A grown man, watching her bully her own children like that, he dares not say a word. He was not like this before."

She likes Wu Shanshan very much. Thinking of Wu Shanshan's life now, she feels very distressed.

Lin Wufeng advised: "This is Mr. Wu's family affair. We are just outsiders and can't control other people's family affairs. Don't worry so much."

"Can't I say a few words in my own home?"

Zhuang Chaoying learned that Huang Ling gave Lin Dongzhe two yuan and gave Wu's three children fifty cents. He also complained to Huang Ling, saying that she was wrong to do so. They were all children and should be treated equally. But Huang Ling just thought he was talking nonsense. What about treating everyone equally? Neighbors are also close and distant.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhou Chen and his family also went there to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. After last year's experience, Huang Ling didn't have to work the night shift this year, so she lived a peaceful life without any trouble.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhuang Ganmei's wife talked about the bicycle again, but was pushed back by Huang Ling very rudely, making the atmosphere of the meal awkward for a while.

After the New Year, Li Yiming and Song Xiangyang, who had tutored with Zhuang Chaoying, came to pay New Year's greetings with canned goods.

Last year, they failed the college entrance examination again. Although they always asked Zhuang Chaoying for extra lessons, they were ultimately too weak in foundation and learning ability, so it was not surprising that they failed the college entrance examination.

Li Yiming is now secretly doing a small business. Song Xiangyang is still thinking about what to do. Lin Wufeng suggested that he could go to their factory as a temporary worker. Song Xiangyang is not very capable, but he is very ambitious. He wants to be a formal worker, but he has no way to do it, so he can only choose to work as a temporary worker first.

A correct version in 16191 book1 bar!

As the educated youth from all over the country began to return to the city, various difficulties appeared all over the country. For example, there are many educated youth returning to the city in Zhou Chen's textile alley.

Now everyone's life is not easy, and housing is also tight, so a large number of educated youth have returned, and various conflicts have emerged, fighting for houses, fighting for jobs, and all kinds of scrambling, so there are quarrels and fights in the alleys recently almost every day. For their own interests, brothers and sisters are useless.

That day, Huang Ling and Song Ying quietly left home one after another, and then Zhuang Xiaoting also left quietly.

Zhou Chen saw their actions. He knew that they were going to take Zhuang Xiaoting to the reopened Songhelou for dinner. He had money and didn't care about the meal.

Lin Dongzhe was keen to find their problem, so he followed them all the way, saw them go to Songhelou, and then came back to call people.

"Brother Tunan, Brother Tuxi, my mother and Aunt Huang took Xiaoting to Songhelou to eat alone, let's go quickly."

Zhuang Tunan stood up when he heard it. Songhelou is an old restaurant. He had heard of it, so he was very interested.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "You go, I won't go. I'm a little tired and I'll take a nap."

"Brother Tuxi, let's go to the restaurant. Such a good opportunity, how can you not go."

Lin Dongzhe was still very loyal and wanted to take Zhou Chen with him, but Zhou Chen really didn't want to go. In desperation, he had to give up and ran out quickly with Zhuang Tunan.

A few hours later, two adults came back with three children, and things exploded next door. Lin Dongzhe loudly complained about Song Ying's "sin", such as being unloyal and abandoning her husband and son, which made the surrounding neighbors upset. Know what's going on.

Song Ying's explanations were useless. In the end, she was so angry that she picked up the fly swatter and swatted Lin Dongzhe. Finally, she asked Lin Dongzhe to be honest.

After Huang Ling came back, she walked into the back room immediately and saw Zhou Chen drawing on the album with a paintbrush.

"Tusi, have you eaten?"

"After eating, I ordered the noodles myself."

"Why didn't you come with me just now?"

"I don't want to run."

Huang Ling touched Zhou Chen's head distressedly and said softly: "Then when you have a holiday next week, mom will take you to eat."

"OK."

…………

Summer has arrived as scheduled, a semester has come to an end, students have also come to the summer vacation, and the college entrance examination is on the right track after two times.

Today, at Zhang Amei's suggestion, the three families of Zhuang Lin and Wu got together for dinner. Two tables were set up in the yard, one for adults and one for children.

Before the meal started, Zhuang Tunan packed two steamed buns and rode his bicycle to play football with his classmates. He also called Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen didn't go.

When Song Ying saw Zhuang Tunan leaving, she said with emotion: "Oh, I'm sweating even if I don't move, but Tunan is still in the mood to go out and play football."

Lin Wufeng smiled and said: "That's what friendship is like, it's just a bunch of people going crazy together."

Zhou Chen sat down on the small table, and Zhuang Xiaoting was next to him. This sister was like a little pendant on his body now. As long as Zhou Chen was at home, she would always follow Zhou Chen and she would have to sit together when eating.

Lin Dongzhe shouted: "Brother Tunan has no homework for the fifth grade during the summer vacation. Brother Tuxi, Sister Shanshan, and Sister Xiaomin, do you also have no homework for the summer vacation?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Lin Dongzhe suddenly looked envious, so envious.

Song Ying sat at the table and began to complain about the summer vacation, because when the summer vacation came, Lin Dongzhe went crazy and was difficult to discipline. She had to cook three meals a day, which was really laborious and she had to save money in the end. She is very angry, so she really doesn't like summer vacation.

Lin Wufeng asked with a smile: "Teacher Zhuang, Sister Ling, Tuxi must be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School this year. With his results, the No. 1 Middle School will definitely be no problem."

Zhuang Chaoying couldn't hide her pride and said with a smile: "He is preparing to take the No. 1 Middle School entrance exam, but whether he can pass the exam depends on his own performance."

Wu Jianguo immediately shouted: "Teacher Zhuang, what you are saying is that based on Tuxi's grades, if he fails to pass the No. 1 Middle School, others will not be able to pass the exam."

Zhou Chen's grades are well known to the neighbors. He has never finished second in the exam. He is always first, and almost all of them are perfect scores. They are much better than Zhuang Tunan. Zhuang Tunan was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and Zhou Chen There is no reason why you can't pass the exam.

Zhuang Chaoying laughed twice and then asked: "Old Wu, what about your family? Shanshan and Xiao Min are also taking the junior high school entrance examination this year. What do you think, should you stay in your own school or go to the urban junior high school?"

Zhang Amei rushed to answer: "They don't have as good grades as Tuxi, so they stay in school and go to the attached middle school. It's close to home and they have many good friends in the school. In the future, they will try to get into a good technical secondary school. Didn't it say that in the news?" , postal service, electricity, and teaching were all popular professions in the 1980s and were very popular.”

After hearing these words, Zhang Min didn't care at all and ate the buns with big mouthfuls.

Wu Shanshan, on the other hand, lowered her head silently, looking downcast. She was different from Zhang Min. She had good grades and wanted to pass the No. 1 high school exam. But now Zhang Amei was the one who made the decision at home. Wu Jianguo listened to Zhang Amei and would not ask her at all. opinions, so she knew that even if she said she wanted to take the No. 1 high school entrance examination, they would not agree.

The first high school entrance examination is just the beginning. If she passes the examination, she will need to go to school in the city every day, either by car or bicycle, and there are various other expenses.

She knew very well that no matter which one it was, Zhang Amei would never agree to it, so no matter how unwilling she was, she could only succumb to such a living environment. She had no status at all in this family.

Zhou Chen on the side saw her depression, took a bun and put it in her hand. Wu Shanshan raised her head, looked at Zhou Chen, and said with red eyes: "Thank you."

"Eat."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything. This was someone else's family matter and he couldn't control it as an outsider.
