Time flies, and a year passes.
Zhou Cong and Feng Yue ushered in the college entrance examination and entered one of the most important points in their lives.
Wang Zhong is okay. Zhou Cong's grades are there. As long as he performs normally, he can choose any of the top universities in the country. Feng Yue's grades are almost average, but he has worked extremely hard this year. He occasionally visits Wang Zhong's house just to Ask Zhou Cong and Wang Zhong for advice.
A few days before the college entrance examination, Zheng Juan worked hard to replenish Zhou Cong's health. Every day, there were four or five hard dishes on the table at home, and there was no shortage of vegetable and fruit soup. Zhou Cong was fine, but the three little ones They were all delighted.
Especially the little tail. This kid has gained weight now and is developing a bit horizontally. Now he is being grabbed by Wang Zhong for morning jogging.
However, he can't get rid of his greedy habit. Logically speaking, Xiaowei's life has been the best since he was a child. In the past, when Zhou Cong was a child, life was not as good as it is now.
But among the children, Little Tail is the most greedy, and he especially likes to eat meat.
In late July, amidst great expectations, the college entrance examination results were released. Zhou Cong lived up to expectations and became the top science student in Jichun City.
Feng Yue's grades were average, and she was still far away from her dream of attending Yanda University. In fact, it is not surprising to think about it. In front of one of the most important junctures in life, her family suddenly changed dramatically, and this girl who had lacked parental care since she was a child What a blow it was.
It is very rare for her to be able to calm down and devote all her energy to review in the last half year of her senior year of high school.
When filling out her application, Zhou Rong originally wanted Feng Yue to repeat one year and take the exam again next year, but Feng Yue refused and chose a very dangerous medical school in the Capital as her first choice.
What surprised Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan even more was Zhou Cong. When Ma Shouchang was hospitalized, Zhou Cong had approached Wang Zhong and said that he wanted to study medicine in the future. Wang Zhong said at that time that as long as he wanted to learn , both herself and Zheng Juan raised their hands in approval.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Cong’s first choice turned out to be Jiangliao University of Technology.
As one of the Seven National Defense University, Jiangliao University of Technology may not be as famous as Yanda or Shuimu to some extent, but its strength is not inferior in any way.
Especially in the majors it specializes in, it is second to none in the country.
Although unexpected, the couple expressed support for Zhou Cong's choice.
But a heart-to-heart talk between father and son is naturally inevitable.
On the balcony on the second floor, the night breeze was cool, father and son were leaning on wicker chairs, and the bright moonlight was shining down. Wang Zhong asked the doubts in his heart: "Didn't you say you wanted to study medicine? I thought you would apply to Yanda University. How come the Department of Medicine or Capital Medical College is filled with Jiangliao University of Technology instead?"
Zhou Cong said: "I talked with Grandpa Ma last time. I think what Grandpa Ma said is very reasonable. Studying medicine can save one person, ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people, but it cannot save tens of millions. Now What our country lacks is not doctors with superb medical skills, but outstanding talents who can realize the four modernizations and enhance overall national strength."
"Industry is a direct way to improve a country's comprehensive national strength. Our country's industrial development level lags far behind that of foreign countries. If we want to catch up with their footsteps, countless people must work together and succeed."
.... As he said this, Zhou Cong suddenly turned to look at Wang Zhong and said solemnly: "Dad! I want to be one of these people."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Okay!" Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of my son, he is ambitious."
"Dad supports you, study hard and contribute to the construction of our motherland in the future."
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhou Cong looked at Wang Zhong, with the corners of his mouth raised in a smile, and a bright light shining in his bright eyes.
As Zhou Cong and Feng Yue's college entrance examination ended, Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling also ushered in the high school entrance examination. The brother and sister successfully entered Zhou Cong's No. 1 Middle School.
In mid-August, the admission notice came out. Zhou Cong, who received the admission notice from the postman, was already confident. But when he got the admission notice in person, unprecedented excitement and excitement surged from the bottom of his heart. The happy people in the courtyard were running, jumping and cheering, completely lacking their usual composure and stability.
Zhou Ming and the others were stunned, especially Zhou Ling. Her eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Cong in the courtyard. She was so shocked that she once suspected that she was hallucinating.
In the evening, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan went home and were extremely happy when they heard the news.
Wang Zhong directly threw a bankbook to Zhou Cong: "A reward for entering university."
I have seen bicycles as rewards, radios as rewards, various other things as rewards, and many cash rewards, but this was the first time for several children to see bankbooks as a direct reward.
Zhou Cong opened the bankbook and looked at the deposit amount on it. His eyes immediately widened and his mouth opened in shock.
"Dad! This is..." Zhou Cong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Zhong who raised his hand and said with a smile: "I told you this is a reward for you."
Zhou Ling came over curiously, looked at the long series of numbers on the passbook, and started counting: "One, two, three, four, five, six."
"Six zeros, one hundred thousand dollars!"
"Hiss!" Zhou Ling's eyes widened as well, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Dad! Am I dazzled?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes quite vigorously.
"One hundred thousand yuan?" Zhou Ming was also stunned, his mind went blank except for these three words.
Little Tail was the most exaggerated. He rushed over and hugged Wang Zhong's thigh: "Dad! I want it too!"
Zhou Ling reacted immediately and rushed to Wang Zhong in one stride. She held Wang Zhong's hand and her cuteness returned: "My dear dad!"
"As long as you can be admitted to a university at the same level as your eldest brother in the future, each of you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand! I have saved the money. As he spoke, Wang Zhong took out three more bankbooks from his pocket and waved them in front of the three children. .”
Zhou Ling's eyes changed. Her eyes were like those on the bankbook in Wang Zhong's hand. She stretched out her hand to grab it. How could Wang Zhong let her be like this? As soon as she raised her hand, Zhou Ling's action failed.
"Dad! My dear dad!" Zhou Ling pouted her little mouth, acting coquettishly and cutely. Her two big black and white eyes flickered, and her long and sparse eyelashes trembled slightly. In her clear and bright eyes, , full of longing and pleading.
It's a pity that he met Wang Zhong, a hard-hearted father: "I said, after the college entrance examination, I don't require you to take the top prize like Cong Cong, as long as you get into a similar university."
….Wang Zhong said to Zhou Ling with a smile.
But after hearing this, Zhou Ling snorted dejectedly: "If you don't want to give it, just say it. What's the point of getting admitted to the same university as my eldest brother! Humph!"
"Smelly girl, you don't get good grades and don't study hard, so why don't you make sense!" Wang Zhong would not spoil her.
"I'm not as smart as my eldest brother!" Zhou Ling felt aggrieved and looked like she was about to cry.
Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Girl, being smart is only part of it. Successful people are not necessarily smart."
"It's not necessarily only smart people who can get into college. There is an idiom, hard work can make up for weakness. Why are you someone who is about to enter high school? Have you never heard of this?"
Zhou Cong said with deep approval: "Dad is right, there are a few in our class who study very hard, and there are several who are smarter than them, but their grades are not as good as theirs."
Zhou Ling was still a little unhappy.
Wang Zhongdao: "You see, you are obviously twins. Logically speaking, your IQs should be about the same. So why is it that you can only get into the top ten in the grade every time, but you can only be in the upper reaches of the class? You didn't think about it. Why?"
"Dad, are you really going to be rewarded with 100,000 yuan if you can get into a university similar to your eldest brother's?" Little Tail, who was sitting on the ground hugging Wang Zhong's legs and refusing to let go, stood up excitedly after hearing this, his eyes shining. Staring at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhongdao: "As long as I can pass the exam, I will get one hundred thousand. When will I never say anything?"
"Oh yeah! Then I'm going to go to college too!" Little Tail immediately jumped up excitedly.
"Just you?" Zhou Ling was full of disdain after listening to Little Tails' boastful words without self-awareness: "You are only in elementary school now, and you can't even get into the top five in the class. You still want to get into a university similar to your elder brother?"
"Do you know what kind of university Jiangliao University of Technology is? It is a university directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, one of the Seven National Defense University, and one of the top key universities in the country."
"Hmph! What's the matter? My dad's grades were not good enough when he was a kid. My dad could get into Mizuki, so why can't I?" Little Tail looked relaxed, as if he already had a chance to win.
"Dad, it's just good luck. It's a good time... Ouch!" Before Zhou Ling could finish her words, she received a blow to her forehead that caused her brain to collapse. She raised her hand to rub her forehead and grimaced in pain.
"Dad! It hurts so much!" Zhou Ling looked at Wang Zhong with a cry in her voice, feeling aggrieved that she could even hang an oil can on her mouth.
"You are so cowardly! Even your own father dares to arrange it!" This is not a good thing, and Wang Zhong will not tolerate her.
"Mom!" Zhou Ling's heart almost broke when she saw how hard-hearted Wang Zhong was. She immediately rushed into Zheng Juan's arms, crying and fussing.
"Dad, he bullied me!"
Zheng Juan grabbed her out of her arms and said, "Your dad didn't bully you!"
Zhou Ling's crying stopped suddenly, and she looked at Zheng Juan in disbelief. The embarrassment in her eyes flashed away, and then she turned around and waved her hand, and started singing directly: "Oh my God! You all ganged up to bully me!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan just watched her sitting on the ground quietly, lying on the sofa and crying, watching her act.
"I can't live this life!"
"Okay!" Wang Zhong ignored her and pumped his fists at Zhou Ming and Little Tail: "Come on, one hundred thousand yuan!"
.... Little Tails’ eyes shone brightly and he immediately said, “I’m going to read a book right now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he already ran away and rushed towards the big study room.
Zhou Ming walked up to Zhou Ling and patted her shoulder. Zhou Ling raised her eyes and looked at him angrily: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said: "I didn't do anything, I just want to tell you that your crying is too fake!" After saying that, he walked away.
"Zhou Ming!" Zhou Ling raised her hands angrily and was about to hit him. Unfortunately, Zhou Ming was already prepared and ran very fast.
"Don't run away if you dare!" Zhou Ling immediately stood up and chased after him.
Zhou Cong held it and said to Wang Zhong with a troubled expression: "Dad, this is too much!"
It was only 1991. Although households with ten thousand yuan were no longer uncommon, they were not everywhere. The average salary of workers was only two to three hundred to one hundred thousand yuan. At the current salary level, many people could spend their entire lives. You can't even save that much money.
But Zhou Cong, a student who had just graduated from high school and was admitted to college, actually received a reward of 100,000 yuan.
No wonder Zhou Cong was so shocked.
Wang Zhong walked up to him, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said: "Congcong, in a few months, you will be eighteen years old and an adult. Dad will tell you a truth today. Money is not everything, but a man cannot live without money in his pocket.”
"This 100,000 yuan does not include your tuition and living expenses during college. You can save it if you want, spend it if you want, buy whatever you want, and you can travel if you want."
"But there is one thing. Dad hopes you can promise me!" Wang Zhong's expression suddenly became solemn.
Zhou Cong also said solemnly: "Dad! Tell me! What do you want me to promise?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Dad hopes that you will study for a graduate degree or a doctorate in the future, but for one thing, dad does not want you to go abroad."
"Dad! Why?" Zhou Cong was puzzled.
In this era, going abroad is a very attractive thing for all young people.
"There are many reasons, and I can't explain them in one sentence or two." Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Dad, I know that this request of dad may be a bit too much for you. After all, many foreign technologies are indeed better than our domestic ones. advanced."
"But Dad hopes you understand that although foreign technology is advanced, many things are closed to our people. Whether it is beautiful countries or countries in Western Europe, what is open to us are common things. In a true strategic sense, The technology can only be developed through our own research and development bit by bit.”
Wang Zhong's words made Zhou Cong's expression change.
"Dad! I understand!" Zhou Cong often heard about these things from Ma Shouchang, especially the foreign blockade of domestic high-end technologies. There have been countless precedents for this kind of thing.
"Mom and dad support you in pursuing your dreams, but they also hope that when you make some decisions, you don't get carried away and think twice before making a decision. Think about your parents and your younger brothers and sisters."
"Yeah!" Zhou Cong nodded heavily.
"Among the brothers and sisters, your mother and I have always been the most at ease with you. We won't talk to you about those big things. After you go to college, you are adults. If you meet a girl you like, ask her about it. After the character, if you are really sure that she is the girl you want to find, don’t hesitate and go for her directly.”
…."Dad..." Zhou Cong couldn't help but blush after hearing this and didn't dare to look into Wang Zhong's eyes.
"What's there to be ashamed of? Your father and I also fell in love with your mother at first sight. Of course, to put it bluntly, I was greedy for your mother's body and was seduced by your mother's beauty..."
"What are you talking about!" Before Wang Zhong could finish his words, he was beaten by Zheng Juan angrily. He blushed and glanced at Zhou Cong: "In front of the child!"
Although they are an old couple, Zheng Juan is inevitably shy in front of her children.
Zhou Cong's cheeks turned red at what Wang Zhong said.
Wang Zhong laughed loudly and said: "What a kid, he is already an adult. Besides, this is the truth. I am aboveboard and not afraid of being known."
Wang Zhong said with a magnanimous expression.
Zheng Juan was not as shameless as Wang Zhong, and complained angrily: "There are a lot of nonsense."
"Okay, okay, my son has been admitted to college. I'm so happy today. Let's go to the store to have a good meal."
"Okay, I'll make a call right now!" Zheng Juan wished she could hide her face and run away. She quickly found a crack in the ground and crawled in. Saying those words in front of her son was really...
The more he thought about it, the angrier and shy he became. He couldn't help but give Wang Zhong a hard look, and he made up his mind in his heart. He must make Wang Zhong look good tonight so that he won't be able to walk tomorrow.
"Dad!" Seeing Zheng Juan leaving, Zhou Cong also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they are mother and son, the concepts engraved in the bones of Chinese people are more traditional and conservative.
Especially in this era, the invasion of Western culture is not yet serious.
"Why are you shy? You are already a grown man. What are you afraid of? Dad tells you that in the future, when looking for a wife, you have to find someone like your mother. However, it is probably difficult to find a woman as good as your mother in this world. The more time goes by, the more likely you are to find a wife like your mother. , parents are becoming more and more pampered towards their children. A virtuous girl like your mother must be extremely tight. If you encounter her, you must take good care of her and not let her run away."
"Dad!" Zhou Cong blushed at Wang Zhong's words, "I'm still young!"
"You're so young!" Wang Zhong said with a straight face: "When I was your age, I was already dating your mother."
"I told your grandma at that time that in this life, I will never marry except your mother. Whatever conditions she wants, just ask for it."
"At that time, I was idle and didn't even have a serious job. I only had a few cents in my pocket, which your grandma gave me. So I went to your grandma's place to buy candied haws, just to show off more in front of her. Show your face.”
As he spoke, Wang Zhong leaned close to Zhou Cong's ear and whispered: "I followed your grandma back then, probably to create an opportunity to meet her by chance and find an excuse to help her push the trolley back to her old house in Taiping Hutong. The reason why I can leave a good impression in front of her is to meet your mother."
"Dad!" Zhou Cong was a little shocked. He was not only shocked that Wang Zhong suddenly talked about these past events with him, but also shocked that his father, who was omnipotent and like a god in his eyes, would let such past events happen.
"So, my mother was deceived by you?" Zhou Cong's words were really to the point.
Wang Zhong laughed and said, "That's not true! Let me tell you, this man is really relying on a lie to find a woman!"
…."But this word of deception is not a lie in the literal sense. Just like your father and I, after we tried every means to catch your mother, we were afraid of her melting when we held it in our mouths, and we were afraid of falling when we held it in our hands. Oh, my dear, it’s not working anymore.”
"In the future, if you meet such a girl, you have to catch her. Even if you are shameless, you have to chase her down. Don't let such a good girl run away, otherwise you will regret it."
Listening to Wang Zhong teaching his son the experience of chasing girls, especially when Wang Zhong mentioned their past, Zheng Juan didn't even dare to get close. After making the call and explaining, she stood in the entrance hall with a rag. In front of the book shelf, he pretended to wipe it, but his ears were perked up, just to listen to what the father and son were talking about.
The next day, Feng Yue also came with a notice to announce the good news. After all, Feng Yue's score in the exam did not reach the ideal state. It was just one point lower than the admission score of Capital Medical College. It was a strange combination of circumstances. I was admitted to Jiangzhe University School of Medicine, my second choice.
Jiangzhe University School of Medicine is a well-established medical school that is as famous and powerful as Capital Medical College. This time, the admission score is just ten points lower than Capital Medical College.
Although he could not go to the Capital Medical College of his dream, Zhejiang University Medical School was not bad either, and Feng Yue was very happy.
Wang Zhong also prepared a bankbook for Feng Yue, but instead of one hundred thousand yuan, it contained ten thousand yuan.
But even if it was only 10,000 yuan, Feng Yue was extremely shocked and quickly rejected it, not daring to accept it.
Zhou Rong's monthly salary this time is only a few hundred yuan more. Ten thousand yuan is Zhou Rong's salary plus bonus for several years.
Now the total money in Zhou Rong's pocket is not that much.
It was Zheng Juan who smiled and said to Feng Yue: "Okay, if your uncle gives it to you, you can take it. This is a reward for you to go to college, and it is also the best wishes of your uncle and me."
"Little aunt, this is too much."
"Not much, not much, your cousin has more!" Zheng Juan leaned close to Feng Yue's ear and whispered a number, which shocked Feng Yue.
In late August, the university was about to start. Zhou Rong wanted to send Feng Yue to Yuhang in person, but Jichun University was also about to start. As a teacher at Jichun University, she was already preparing to compete for the title of associate professor in this selection, so it was not easy to ask for leave. .
Feng Yue then offered to let Wang Zhong send her to school.
Although Zhou Rong was not very happy, she could only accept the reality.
When Feng Yue raised this matter, Zheng Juan agreed to it for Wang Zhong without even thinking about it. She also said that Wang Zhong could go to Shenzhen City and visit the head office of Shenzhen City.
But after hearing this, Zhou Ling also clamored to go to Zhejiang University to see the school where Feng Yue would study and live for the next five years.
But Zhou Ling was about to start school, so how could Zheng Juan agree to let her go with her?
No matter how much Zhou Ling acted coquettishly and cutely, it was useless, but Zhou Ling was so angry that she had no appetite for food for several days.
The train was too slow, so Wang Zhong took Feng Yue directly by plane. They flew to the capital first, and then transferred from the capital to Yuhang. On the plane, Wang Zhong looked at Feng Yue next to him and couldn't help but ask: "Yue Yue, it stands to reason that the medical school affiliated with the Union Medical College is also pretty good. You didn’t apply for Jiangzhe University Medical School on purpose, did you?”
.... Feng Yue's expression froze when she was asked. She turned to look at Wang Zhong who was looking at her. Looking at those calm and gentle eyes that seemed to reflect people's hearts, her face changed slightly, but she still nodded.
"Is it because of your father?"
"Yes!" Feng Yue nodded and replied: "Uncle, have you noticed it a long time ago?"
"Almost!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Then why are you asking now?" Feng Yue asked curiously.
"Yueyue, you are already a big girl. You have your own ideas and the life you want to live. Since you have made a decision, my uncle will support you. As for the reason, if you are willing, I will naturally tell you. If you don't want to say it, my uncle will respect you."
"Little uncle, you are so kind to me!" Feng Yue said touchedly with tears in her eyes.
"I gave Congcong a reward of 100,000 yuan, and I gave you 10,000 yuan. Don't you feel unbalanced in your heart?" Wang Huicong asked.
Feng Yue shook his head, raised his eyes to look into Wang Zhong's eyes, and met his gaze and said, "I know what uncle means. He wants to encourage his cousins to study hard and, like my cousin, be admitted to the top universities in the country in the future." University."
"And I..." Feng Yue's eyes became slightly gloomy as he spoke.
Wang Zhongdao: "Jiangzhe University is also a top university in the country. Your aunt and I originally planned to reward you with a hundred thousand yuan, but your aunt and I used the money to invest in your name. Giving you ten thousand yuan is The extra thing is to make your life in college easier and more comfortable.”
"invest?"
"Haven't you always liked writing? I'll help you invest this hundred thousand yuan in my newly opened studio."
The world of film and television starting from phototype films.
