Chapter 33 Announcement of Quotas
After I went home, my mother went to work and didn't come back, but my aunt called me, and she asked with a smile on the phone, "Xiaofeng, did you get the report card?"
I said I didn't get the report card, but I knew the results.
Auntie asked, "Can you get my mysterious gift?"
I couldn't hold back a smile and said, "It's a pity, it seems that it has nothing to do with your gift." ”
The aunt immediately said: "Stinky boy, I don't regret the tone of your voice at all, is it right that no matter how many points you score in the test, I will give you a gift?" Okay, I won't tease you anymore, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam this time, and next time, my Xiaofeng is so smart, he will always get good grades in the exam, and the gifts prepared for you will definitely be given to you, and you will personally pick them in a few days!"
I already knew that this would be the result, no matter whether I could get in the top ten or not, this gift would definitely be given to my aunt. I said, "Okay then, thank you, Auntie!"
I couldn't bear to tell her how much I scored, not because I wanted to pretend to be forced, but because I wanted to surprise her when she gave me a gift, and she would be very happy, very happy.
In the evening I cooked the meal, and my mother just came back, and she said, "Your injuries are not healed, don't do all this housework." ”
My mom never asked me how much I scored, probably because she was worried that I would do badly, and she felt uncomfortable when she asked, but she also wanted to know. During the meal, I took the initiative to say, "Mom, I know the test results." ”
My mom said, "It's okay, no matter how many points you score, in my mother's heart, you are the best." I'll find a way to connect you with another school. ”
I smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, I scored 972 points in the exam, and Shengdi Middle School admitted me to go to school, exempt all tuition fees, and subsidize living expenses every month, and you won't have to pay a penny for my school in the future." ”
My mom didn't believe it at first, but after confirming with me repeatedly, she immediately cried with joy, and I said, "Mom, this is a good thing, why are you crying?"
My mother wiped her tears and said, "I'm so happy, you are really my good boy, and you have lived up to my mother." ”
Seeing her so happy, I can't say how happy I am, although the final quota of the super class has not yet been announced, but with my high score of 972, ranking in the top 30 in the city is a sure thing, basically there is no suspense.
Since knowing my results, my mother has a lot of smiles on her face in those two days, but she is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off, even at work, others show off their children's grades, and ask my mother how many points I scored, she only said that it was okay.
The news of the establishment of super classes by the Municipal Education Bureau has been announced on TV and newspapers, which has attracted a lot of attention, and many people are discussing this matter, whether their children can be admitted or not, they are all paying attention to the final admission list.
Although I know that being admitted to the super class is a sure thing, I still look forward to seeing my name on TV and newspapers when the list is announced, and I also want to know if Zhao Fei'er will be admitted, as for Chen Mengqi, I don't care.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, I lived in seclusion, let my mother find a colleague to borrow a few books for the first semester of high school, let me see for myself first, although I got a high score in the exam this time, but learning is like a boat against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and I can't slack off.
The night before the list was announced, my mother suddenly said, "Tomorrow your grandfather will be 70th birthday, and we have to go there to celebrate his birthday." ”
I said with some displeasure: "Mom, he has kicked you out, why do we have to go, I'm afraid it won't be a good face to go." ”
My mom touched my head and said, "He kicked me out of the house because I didn't do a good job, but no matter what, he is still my dad, and I can't hold a grudge against him." Besides, your grandfather's health is also deteriorating, whether there is the next ten years is not certain, I can't serve the left and right filial piety, but he has a 70th birthday, how can he go to celebrate his birthday. ”
My mother said this, even though I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I could only go along, but I didn't want to go to their house, I didn't want to see my aunt's snarky face, and I didn't want my mother to be bullied.
The next day, my mother took a leave of absence and didn't go to work, so she took me to a banquet.
My grandfather's birthday banquet was set up in one of the largest hotels in our city center, my uncle's business has become bigger and bigger over the years, and he has made a lot of money and made a lot of business friends.
Uncle directly in the Longting Hotel chartered a floor of the banquet, the aunt and uncle were busy greeting guests, I went with my mother, the uncle said: "Su Su is here, come in and find a place to sit first." ”
The eldest aunt snorted disdainfully, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "I was kicked out of the house by the old man, and I still have the cheekiness to come here for something." ”
My mother didn't hear me, so she pulled me to sit down in the corner, and then said to me, "When you have a chance, you can also go and celebrate your grandfather's birthday, and say a few words to make him happy." ”
I thought to myself, no matter what I say, I'm afraid he won't be happy, looking at my aunt's sour appearance, my heart is blocked.
Not long after I sat down, my aunt also came, and there were so many guests and relatives in the audience, so I only felt kind when I saw my aunt.
The aunt said, "While there are not many people at this time, let's go and celebrate the birthday first." ”
My mother agreed, and then followed my aunt to a room next to her, my grandparents and grandmothers, as well as my grandfather's two brothers, a younger sister, seven aunts and six mothers-in-law, anyway, the Chen family and all their relatives are here, and Chen Mengqi is also there.
After seeing us, my grandmother was very happy, after all, she only had my mother's biological daughter, and only my grandfather had a cold face.
Grandpa said, "What are you doing? I don't have a daughter like you!"
I knew that this would be the result, but my mother still walked over and knelt in front of my grandfather to celebrate his birthday, and my grandmother comforted him and said, "Old man, today is your birthday, and you have always come with a heart, so you can't be generous?"
My grandfather didn't say anything, my mother gave me a look, and asked me to hurry over and kneel to celebrate my birthday, I casually said a few words of birthday wishes, and my grandfather said impatiently: "Okay, okay, go out quickly." ”
I stood up and was about to leave, but my grandfather suddenly said, "By the way, I heard Mengqi say that you went to the exam with an injury before, and the whole school knew about it, but you worked hard, how did you do in the exam?"
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that when did my grandfather start to care about my grades? But I immediately understood, I guess when I reported a bad grade, he could find an excuse to scold me and my mother, anyway, I don't believe that he really cares about me.
My mother said, "Xiaofeng did well in the exam this time. ”
Grandpa sneered: "What do you mean by not bad? I don't know his grades? If it was before, if you said this, I believe it, tell me what grades he has had in the past year or so? You are still lying in front of me! Do you really think it is a glorious thing to go to the exam with an injury? I don't know how many people laughed at it. Look at Meng Qi, this time he scored more than 900 points in the exam, won the first place in the school, and didn't put on a show like him, don't you know how to write the word shame?"
I was stunned in my heart, did Chen Mengqi score more than 900 points in the exam? Although she is very annoying, I have to say that she is really powerful, I just don't know whether I am taller or she is taller, my grandfather said that she is the first in the school, is she taller than me?
Originally, I was quite confident that I could get the first place in the school, but Chen Mengqi also scored more than 900 points, so I don't have much confidence now.
The second grandfather sitting next to my grandfather said: "Mengqi is really angry, my little cub has only scored more than 700 points in the test, and said that the test questions are too difficult, and there are very few points for 800 points." ”
Grandpa also said proudly: "Yes, Mengqi, this kid is really angry, if my Chen family can be a champion, this hope is on her." ”
Chen Mengqi said a little proudly on the side: "Actually, I didn't take much of the test, I didn't play well this time, and I just finished 930." ”
Chen Mengqi originally wanted to show off, but as soon as I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sneered in my heart, Chen Mengqi, you still lost in the end. But I didn't hurry up to report my score, even if I said it, I'm afraid no one would believe it, it's good that I know it in my heart, and I don't want to show off like Chen Mengqi.
When my aunt saw that our mother and son were scolded again, she hurriedly played a round and said, "Dad, I'll take my sister out first if there's nothing to do." ”
Grandpa waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's go, let's go, I'm upset when I look at it here." ”
My aunt dragged my mother, called me and left the room, and after I went out, my aunt comforted me and my mother, my mother smiled and said that it was okay, no matter what, he was an elder after all.
We walked back to the hall and found a place to sit and chat, and the guests were almost here, I actually saw Teacher Xu in the crowd, and secretly thought why did she come too? Teacher Xu has no relationship with the Chen family, right?
Then I saw an old man standing next to Mr. Xu, and my uncle hurriedly walked over to greet him and said, "Mr. Xu, I am really flattered by your presence." ”
The white-haired old man Xu smiled: "I am a comrade-in-arms with your father, he is seventy years old, how can I not come." ”
I realized that this person should be Mr. Xu's grandfather, right? I didn't expect her family to have such a relationship with the Chen family. Teacher Xu didn't seem to see me, so he helped Xu Lao to the front seat and sat down.
After Mr. Xu came, the Shen Group also sent someone to come, but it was not the chairman of the Shen Group who came, but the secretary who wore glasses last time, and Shen Junwen came with him.
The behemoth of the Shen Group, even if it is a secretary, is enough to make the uncle feel face, and he hurriedly went to greet him, feeling a little flattered.
After all, my uncle's business is not worth mentioning in front of the Shen Group, and I guess this secretary is here because of Shen Junwen.
I have to say that this Shen Junwen is really good, at least from the perspective of his background, it is enough to make countless girls fall in love with him, and the ideal husband candidate in the minds of countless people!
Shen Junwen and the secretary were arranged at Mr. Xu's table, it was almost twelve o'clock, the birthday banquet should also start, my grandfather also walked out accompanied by Chen Mengqi, all the relatives were arranged in the front position, only me, my mother, and my aunt sat in the corner, very inconspicuous.
The uncle took the microphone, came to the stage and said a few words of thanks, and specially mentioned the Shen Group, the man with glasses stood up and bowed slightly, his attitude was quite arrogant, and then he slowly sat down.
After the uncle finished speaking, his grandfather also took the microphone to speak and said some words of thanks, and then he changed his words and said that today is a double happiness, and his granddaughter Chen Mengqi scored more than 900 points in this exam, ranking first in the school, and was admitted to the super class of Shengdi Middle School.
Chen Mengqi stood next to her grandfather, with a proud face, coupled with her beautiful appearance, it is really attractive, and she is bound to be a goddess-level character when she grows up.
Chen Mengqi also said a few words, and she also specifically mentioned Teacher Xu, saying that she was grateful for the cultivation of Teacher Xu and other teachers who were not present. Ms. Xu not only taught English in our class, but also taught Chen Mengqi's class.
Teacher Xu showed a rare smile, with such an outstanding student, she must be very happy in her heart.
At this time, my grandfather said: "It seems that the admission quota of the super class is going to be announced today, right? Many friends here are probably also paying attention to the matter of this admission quota.
The super class has been very hot recently, and the major media, newspapers, and TV stations are reporting it to build momentum for the super class, and naturally everyone is paying attention to it, and nothing is more important than their children's schooling, which is the most important thing as a parent.
The uncle asked the hotel waiter to turn on the TV, and then projected it onto the big screen of the stage, just as the host of the education channel began to talk about the establishment of a super class by the Municipal Education Bureau this year.
There was silence in the audience, and occasionally someone whispered, but they were all staring at the big screen.
I'm quite relaxed in my heart, anyway, with my grades, I can definitely be admitted to the super class, I just care about whether Concubine Zhao can be admitted.
The aunt said on the side: "The older Dad gets, the more he likes to show off, Chen Mengqi is so arrogant, and he is spoiled by him, if Xiaofeng you study hard, this time the quota should definitely have yours." ”
I smiled and said, "How do you know you don't have me?"
