1980, July 7.
The college entrance examination is here as scheduled.
This morning, the Qiao family went out as a group. Erqiang, Sanli, Simei, and even Qiqi, who was still breastfeeding, took the exam with serious faces.
Although they all know that this exam is within reach for the eldest brother, expectations are expectations. If their boots are not on the ground for a day, they will not be able to rest assured.
When they walked out of Qingshui Lane, they happened to meet someone head-on.
Qiao Zuwang!
He knew that today was the day of the college entrance examination, but he didn't know which school the eldest son's examination room was in.
So he got up early and waited at the alley since six o'clock in the morning.
After all, today is an extremely important day, and he also wants to come and take the exam, although 'Yicheng' may not want to see him.
But he came anyway.
He didn't want to miss such an important occasion.
"dad?"
Erqiang and Sanli were obviously stunned for a moment when they saw Qiao Zuwang's figure.
"Are you going to give your eldest brother the exam?"
Qiao Zuwang smiled and nodded towards the children. In the past year or so, he would come to Qingshui Lane whenever he had free time.
Of course, he always came when Li Jie was not at home.
At the beginning, the four little ones didn't show too much affection towards him, and their attitude was relatively cold.
But the human heart is made of flesh.
In addition, they were all children. As time passed and Qiao Zuwang came more often, their attitude became somewhat looser.
At least he would take the initiative to call 'Dad' every time he met.
"Um."
Sanli glanced at Li Jie and saw that her eldest brother had no objection, and immediately nodded with a smile.
"Today is the college entrance examination. Let's go to the examination room together."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zuwang turned his eyes to Li Jie, hesitated slightly, and said slowly.
"Yicheng, I wish you good luck in the college entrance examination and a title on the gold list!"
After saying this, Qiao Zuwang turned and left.
If you continue to stay at the scene, if 'Yicheng' doesn't respond, the atmosphere at the scene will definitely be very embarrassing.
This is why he chooses to be away when 'Yi Cheng' is not available every time he comes to visit.
He didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense.
Turning his head, Qiao Zuwang walked again, but his pace was much slower than usual, only about half of his usual speed.
He really wanted to hear some movement behind him.
But there was still a gap between the reality and what he expected. Apart from the voices of Erqiang, Sanli, Simei, and Qiqi, there was no other movement behind him.
'well. '
Qiao Zuwang sighed silently, then quickened his pace, and before long, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Looking at Qiao Zuwang's retreating figure, Li Jie's lips evoked a faint smile.
He knew what Qiao Zuwang was expecting, but he didn't want to respond.
Because the other party owed too much debt, and the bastard things Qiao Zuwang had done in the past were countless.
Where are you now?
People will make many mistakes in their lives. Some mistakes can be forgiven, but some things cannot.
As for the relationship between the four little ones and Qiao Zuwang, Li Jie will not interfere too much now.
They have their freedom, whether good or bad is their choice.
Due to Qiao Zuwang's sudden arrival, the four little ones seemed a little silent along the way.
It wasn't until we arrived at the examination room that the atmosphere became lively again.
"Brother, come on!"
Sanli waved her fists and made a cheering gesture.
The remaining three little ones also said in unison, "Brother, come on"!
At this time, the outside of the examination room was already overcrowded, filled with parents taking exams. Most of them were fathers and mothers who came to send their children into the examination room.
However, the Qiao family's examination team was all children, and this special team immediately attracted a lot of attention.
They may have doubts on their faces, or pity or pity on their faces.
At this moment, a chubby old man panted forward in front of Li Jie. As soon as he stopped, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Yicheng, so you are here. Have you brought your admission ticket and pen?"
The appearance of the old man caused a commotion at the scene.
Because this old man is very famous, he is the principal of Jinling Middle School, and many parents of candidates in this school know him.
Jinling Middle School is a prestigious school with a history of more than 100 years. It was founded in the 14th year of Guangxu's reign and was formerly known as Huiwen College.
As the principal of a century-old prestigious school, Zhu Hongzhe is still very famous in the local area. Even if he is not the parents of the school's candidates, many people recognize his identity.
Seeing this scene, they became even more curious.
Why is Principal Zhu so enthusiastic about a candidate?
Is there anything special about this candidate?
There were a lot of whispers around him, and it didn't take long for Li Jie's identity to spread.
After all, for the students of this school, this 'god of learning' who has never seen the beginning or end of a dragon has a very resounding reputation.
He doesn't come to school at all on weekdays, but he firmly occupies the first place in every exam. No matter how the second or third place tries to catch up, his position will never be shaken.
Since enrolling as 'Study God', the highest ranking everyone pursues has changed from competing for first place to competing for second place.
First, it is really impossible to compete.
In every joint entrance examination, mid-term, and final exams, in all science papers, 'Study God' got 100% perfect marks.
On the other side, Principal Zhu felt a little relieved when he saw that everything in the stationery bag was complete.
Since the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, except for the first year in which provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions had independent propositions, the subsequent two sessions have adopted unified propositions nationwide.
This year, the same is true.
It is true that Jinling Middle School is a century-old famous school, but looking across the country, there are still many high schools that are not inferior to Jinling Middle School.
Among them, the capital region has the most.
In the past two college entrance examinations, although Jinling Middle School ranked first in the province, it has never ranked first in the country.
And this time, their school is likely to be ranked first in the country.
With the level of "10%" classmates, as long as there are no force majeure factors, he is very likely to bring this honor to the school.
A first-class middle school must naturally have top results. Even in the past hundred years, Jinling Middle School has proven itself countless times.
But the past is the past and the present is the present.
That's why Principal Zhu was so concerned. For this reason, he got up early early and rushed to the school gate to deliver the exam.
After a while, Principal Zhu, who had been chattering for a long time, finally stopped nagging.
The exam time is coming soon and it’s time for the candidates to enter.
Seeing other candidates entering the venue one after another, although there was still some time left, Principal Zhu did not dare to delay any longer. He took a step forward, patted Li Jie on the shoulder, and said sincerely.
"10%, I won't say any more. With your results, there is no need to be nervous at all, as long as you perform to your usual level."
