Cui Shichu sent Zhou Zhiyuan to the examination room and then went home. Today was the day of his college entrance examination. He had worked hard for these two days for more than ten years, so no matter how young and mature Zhou Zhiyuan was, he was still nervous. Cui Shichu accompanied him here. , and do some psychological work for him by the way.
After returning, she quickly started making chicken soup, preparing to make something delicious for Zhou Zhiyuan.
Because they decided to go directly to the capital after Zhou Zhiyuan passed the college entrance examination, they packed up everything in this house and planned to sell it to an agency.
Zhou Zhiyuan also knew about this. Although he was a little reluctant to part with the old house he had lived in since he was a child, he was worried that the family would be financially strained after buying a house in the capital, so he agreed to sell the house.
Two days passed quickly. Cui Shichu did not directly ask him how he did in the exam, but it could be seen from his good mood after the exam that he must have been satisfied with the exam, probably because he felt less stressed after the exam. , he smiles brightly every day, so that when the neighbors see it, they can't help but tease him and ask him if he is going to be the top scholar.
Zhou Zhiyuan was so teased that he didn't even dare to go out. Cui Shichu asked him to pack his luggage and prepare to send it to the capital. In this era, there was no express delivery, only the most common postal service, which was slow, expensive and... Many things could not be mailed, so Cui Shichu mailed some essential luggage, and then threw away some unnecessary things, not intending to take them to his new home.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at the thrown away wooden sofa and said with some reluctance: "This wooden sofa is not broken yet, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away? You can continue to use it after it is transported to the capital."
Cui Shichu glanced at the wooden sofa that had been worn to the point where the original color could not be seen, and said with disgust: "This sofa is heavy and shabby. The shipping fee to transport it to the capital is enough for us to buy a beautiful and strong cloth sofa. It's not worth it. It should be What you throw away must be thrown away.”
When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, he felt that his mother was right, so he had to move the old sofa to the trash can downstairs and throw it away.
"Zhiyuan, you don't want this sofa anymore? It's not broken, why did you throw it away?" Aunt Wang, a neighbor who was passing by, saw his behavior and immediately came forward and asked curiously.
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded towards her: "Aunt Wang, this sofa is very old. Our family doesn't want it anymore. We will buy a new one when we get to the capital."
"Why are you going to the capital?" Aunt Wang was extremely surprised when she heard this.
"I will apply to a university in Beijing, and my mother will also move to Beijing with me." Zhou Zhiyuan said shyly.
"Have you decided to apply to a university in the capital?" Aunt Wang suddenly realized, "Then you must have done well in the exam, right? I heard that it is difficult to get into the university in the capital."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded with some pride: "If there are no accidents, there will always be a university in Beijing that admits me." If he dares to say this, he must have done well in the college entrance examination. After all, the admission rate of college students these days is not high.
Aunt Wang was really impressed by him: "I told you that you are a smart kid and will definitely be admitted to college. Your mother will be lucky in the future!"
"By the way, you said your mother also went to the capital? Is that really outrageous? None of us here have been to the capital. I didn't expect that your mother would be able to live there after taking advantage of you. She is so envious of us old neighbors. Now..." Aunt Wang said with an envious look.
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Brother Ming of your family is also very powerful. I heard that his business has gone to the south. If you want to go to the capital, tell Brother Ming and he will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Where is it? You know that eldest brother doesn't have time to pay attention to me, a mother-in-law. He doesn't know what to do outside, and he doesn't touch the house all day long..." Although she said that, Aunt Wang said about her son. But she couldn't hide the pride on her face. She was obviously very impressed by Zhou Zhiyuan's words and felt that if she also wanted to go to the capital, her son would fulfill her wish.
Zhou Zhiyuan chatted with her for a few words and then went back, but Aunt Wang became interested in her thoughts. When she got home, she asked her daughter-in-law about the capital. She wanted to see what the capital was like. The daughter-in-law didn't know why she had this idea, so she asked a few more questions, and then it was publicized that Zhou Zhiyuan would apply for a university in the capital, and Cui Shichu would follow his son to settle in the capital.
At this time, the neighborhood relationship was so close that there were no secrets between each family. So many people with different thoughts came to Cui Shichu's house, asking why she suddenly wanted to go to the capital with her son, and then asked insinuatingly why she had left. What to do with the house, furniture and other things at home in the future... I'm not here to watch the fun, but I just want to get some cheap money.
There are even some people who want to see the joke between Cui Shichu and Zhou Zhiyuan behind their backs. They think that Zhou Zhiyuan will definitely not be admitted to a university in the capital, but they have already announced that they are planning to move to the capital. If he fails to pass the exam in the end, then it will be a big deal. Have you caught the big joke of wishful thinking?
Cui Shichu didn't know what others were thinking. She just felt that these people had been coming to the door recently, which made the mother and son very annoyed, so in the end she decided to deal with the things here quickly and leave as soon as possible.
So when the neighbor knocked on the door again, Cui Shichu and Zhou Zhiyuan had already boarded a plane to the capital.
The house in Beijing is not big, but it is enough for the mother and son to live in. It also has a small yard where they can grow some flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables.
Cui Shichu had someone renovate it a few months ago, so when Zhou Zhiyuan saw his new home for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed for a long time.
Cui Shichu designed the decoration plan himself, and transformed the house into something completely different from before. Before, the house was just an ordinary old house. But after the renovation, the outside of the house was paved with off-white tiles, and the eaves and corridors were Flat stones pave the elegant road, the house has marble floors, the walls are pure white, the tables, chairs and sofas are either light green or gray... All the home furnishings match perfectly with the interior decoration, elegant, fresh, fashionable and elegant, it looks like It’s just pleasing to the eye.
Of course it is pleasing to the eye. After all, this was designed by Cui Shichu with the aesthetic vision of decades later. Even the boss of the decoration company saw the final product and sincerely asked Cui Shichu to sell him the decoration plan and allow him to take some pictures. Photos for publicity.
Seeing that the price he gave was very beautiful, Cui Shichu didn't mind that his home decoration became a classic case of the decoration company.
"Mom, is this really our house? Did we go to the right place?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked in disbelief. Of course he hoped that his home would be so beautiful, but he was also worried that his family could not afford such a house.
"It's our house, you're right." Cui Shichu said with a smile, looking at his cheap son who was blushing with excitement.
