Chen Weiguo thought about it and asked again: "I heard from people in the town that the college entrance examination may be postponed this year. What does your school say? Will it have any impact on you?"

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. This year's college entrance examination will not be delayed." Chen Qiaoshan said without thinking.

In my memory of my previous life, it was the first time that the college entrance examination was held in June in 2003. SARS had gradually subsided, and the exam was not postponed and it started on time on June 7th.

At that time, Tang Dashan was in the third year of junior high school, and their junior high school was also a college entrance examination test site. In order to give the local school a 4-day vacation, it was particularly impressive.

However, these things cannot be explained to Chen Weiguo. He thought for a while and said, "If the college entrance examination is really delayed, the whole country will be the same, and that is no different from previous years."

Chen Xi suddenly interrupted and asked, "Second brother, which university are you going to take to?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. Why did his sister suddenly ask about this? After thinking about it, she said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's think about it after the exam. I don't think so much now."

Chen Weiguo nodded after hearing this, "That should be true. Don't worry about your brother, just take care of yourself."

Chen Xi pouted and stopped talking.

After teaching his daughter a lesson, Chen Weiguo took out a stack of wrinkled banknotes from his pocket, with zero or even a whole. He counted carefully and divided them into two parts and handed them to the brother and sister.

"Your second brother is about to take the college entrance examination. I will discuss with your mother that I will give him some living expenses to improve his life this month."

Chen Xi hurriedly said, "There is a subsidy for my meal card school cafeteria. If my second brother is not enough, I can give it to me again."

Chen Qiaoshan quickly shook his head and refused, "No, I have enough living expenses, there is still the rest last month." After saying that, he took out the extra 100 yuan and handed it back to Chen Weiguo, "Dad, don't give me more. It will only be one month for the college entrance examination, and these are enough."

The Chen family has six, and four children are not rich in school. Chen Weiguo is busy with farming, so he goes to the brick factory in the town to help with the slack farm. He only earns twenty yuan a day. This is not the joke that later generations joked about bricks, but the real laborer. One hundred yuan is equivalent to Chen Weiguo's income from five days of working in the brick factory without eating or drinking.

With such family conditions, Chen Weiguo also has to support his four children in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and school. Chen Weiguo has done his best for this family.

The father and son gave in a few times, but Chen Qiaoshan couldn't give in, and in the end he had to accept the hundred dollars.

More than 80 miles from the town to the city's school, and more than 10 miles from home to the town. He estimated that in order to save money, Chen's father probably didn't even have lunch.

Thinking of this, he took out twenty yuan and handed it to Chen Xi and said, "You go to the supermarket to buy some food and then buy a bottle of water. Dad hasn't eaten yet."

Chen Xi did not accept the money he handed over, and ran directly towards the small supermarket.

Chen Weiguo quickly stopped him, but unfortunately he didn't stop him through the school gate. He couldn't help but complain: "You are disobedient, and the third brother is not obedient. What is the waste of money? It's the same if you eat when you go home." That's it, but Chen Qiaoshan clearly saw relief and satisfaction in his face.

After a while, Chen Xi ran back with a plastic bag containing bread and pure water.

The brother and sister asked Chen Weiguo about the situation at home again. The main reason was that Chen Xi was chattering and Chen Qiaoshan listened quietly. His sister was a bit talkative potential.

The preparatory bell rang in the school. Chen Weiguo stopped talking and reminded the brothers and sisters a few more words. Then he waved his arms at Chen Qiaoshan and sisters like a duck, sent them back to class, and then turned around and left first.

Seeing his background gradually fading away, Chen Qiaoshan suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, or should he do something for this poor family.

Chen Xi suddenly asked again: "Second brother, which university do you want to get into?"

"Why are you asking again? Do you have any ideas?"

"Please take the university in Yanjing. I want to take the Peking University in the future. Your grades will definitely not be able to get to Peking University, but there are many other universities that can be taken."

Chen Qiaoshan was hit hard and sighed: "No one has been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University for many years."

Chen Xi was silent for a while before saying, "Grandma said that the dead woman named Zhang took her eldest sister to Yanjing and never came back. I want to go to Yanjing to find her and said."

Chen Qiaoshan was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "When did Grandma tell you?"

She ignored her second brother's question and said to herself: "Grandma said that she could go to Yanjing if she was admitted to the school in Yanjing. If she could go to Tsinghua University, I could go to Peking University. Grandma also said that our father used to say that when she saved money, she would go to Yanjing to get her elder sister back. I wanted to go to Yanjing to get her elder sister back."

Listening to his sister's words, Chen Qiaoshan was silent. Chen's father never mentioned the matter in his family before, which was a taboo topic in the Chen family.

Chen Qiaoshan’s memories of Chen Weiguo’s past are all made up of words and phrases that the elders accidentally revealed.

He didn't know why grandma told Chen Xi about her father's past, but it was obvious that grandma's words made Chen Xi, who was stubborn, have an obsession. In order to protect her father, she probably only has that all she can do.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiaoshan was very moved and understood his grandmother's painstaking efforts. She told her smart granddaughter about these sad pasts of her father. Chen Xi, who was kind-hearted and stubborn, might really be admitted to Peking University for his father. In that case, the ridicule that was above the youngest son's life should be dispersed. It is really pitiful to the hearts of parents all over the world.

First-class high school is just an ordinary high school. Although it is the best in this city, it can only be considered a second- and third-rate level in Henan Province. There are only a few students who have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in Dengzhou for so many years.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, Zhang Ziyu was the first to be admitted to Tsinghua University. Perhaps it was her affairs that made Chen Weiguo realize the importance of knowledge.

This taciturn rural man struggled to support his four children to go to school. Perhaps in his subconscious, only reading can help his children get rid of his past destiny.

"Second brother, what are you thinking? Otherwise, just listen to me and believe me. I will definitely be admitted to Peking University in the future."

Looking at her confident appearance, Chen Qiaoshan found that his stubborn personality was indeed the same as in his memory.

He was also infected by Chen Xi's emotions, "Okay, I'll get into Peking University too!"

Chen Xi rolled his eyes at Chen Qiaoshan and teased: "I asked you to take the university in Yanjing. You only ranked 198 in the monthly exam last time. I went to the bulletin board to see it and found you. I took the second place in the midterm exam!"

Chen Qiaoshan made his sharp-tongued sister a little unable to get out of Taiwan, "I can't get into Peking University, can't I go to Peking University Bluebird? What's wrong with the second grade? Isn't there any first place? Besides, you are my sister in the second grade, so you have to listen to me."

Chen Xi was a little surprised. His second brother was usually very honest, but today looked very different from before.

After thinking about it, she asked curiously: "Second brother, what university is Peking University Bluebird?"

Chen Qiaoshan also realized that he had missed his mouth. At this moment, Peking University Blue Bird probably hadn't run a local school, so he couldn't explain it to her, so he casually said: "It's nothing, you go back first. I'll think about the university matters. Anyway, there's still one month left, so let's talk about it then."

"Second brother!" Chen Xiaowan muttered a few more dissatisfied words, leaving reluctantly.
