After the teacher and the two gold medal winners breathed out in advance, the prize money was also paid out, so they didn't panic when they were called to the stage to accept the praise at the meeting. Zhou Xiuyu was also called to the stage when she won the silver award for the first time, so Still calm, the principal personally distributed the certificates and the school supplies issued by the Education Bureau to the siblings. At the same time, he also praised the students in other competitions and asked them to go on stage together to receive the awards and school supplies. These were issued by the Education Bureau. children's.

For the children who participated in the competition, they didn't get the prize, but they were very happy to get the prize, so after the whole process, everyone's face was full of smiles.

In the first junior high school in the county seat, neither of the Chen brothers and sisters, who value results more, can't laugh. After all, Chen Ran is older than his sister, and his mentality is stable. I came here with the goal of winning a gold medal, but I only got a silver medal, and even my brother only got a silver medal. I was so depressed, and when I got home, I lay down on the bed and cried. She shed tears sadly, unwilling to admit defeat in her heart.

Chen Ran comforted her and told her that there are many competitions, and not getting the best ranking this time does not mean that you will not get it in the future. If you don't get it, you must realize your own shortcomings and work harder.

Besides, the silver award is actually very good.

Chen Ping thought about what her brother said was right, wiped away her tears and didn't continue to cry, but she was still a little sad, and then asked curiously: "Brother, I looked at your group photo last time, did the one who won the gold medal last time?" The young lady who won the silver medal?"

Chen Ran nodded, and then said: "The one who won the gold medal in the first grade group this time is her younger brother."

Chen Ping praised sincerely: "They are so powerful." And set a goal for himself.

Chen Ran didn't deny that they were powerful, nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Xiao has always underestimated these classmates from the town's junior high school before, and even I thought they were not my opponents, because I was too impetuous." Reflecting on his own problems, Because No. [-] junior high school has always been a top-notch existence, whether it is the faculty or the level of education, it is definitely the best level, and the awards are basically the best. He feels that no one else can surpass him no matter what. He is too confident.

Chen Ping looked at her brother and said, "I must do better in the exam next year and try to surpass him." Her opponent was Zhou Yunyi.

Chen Ran did not dampen her younger sister's enthusiasm, and encouraged her by saying, "I believe in you."

Although some people were happy and some were regretful in this competition, for Zhou Yunyi, there was one more thing that he had to face.

When he and Zhou Xiuyu came back with the certificate, Mr. Tang had already told the Zhou family about the happy event. The Zhou family hadn't celebrated for anything for a long time. They heard how good their son was, and he won the gold medal in one fell swoop. Anyway, he is very powerful Meaning, I was so happy to buy fish and chicken again, I was so generous, I didn't mention the fact that my daughter also won the gold medal, and seeing Zhou Xiuyu asked her about the bonus as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What about the money? I heard from Mr. Tang that there is still a bonus for the gold medal."

Zhou Yunyi next to him took the initiative to say: "I took it away, I want to save money to buy something I like."

Zhou Yunyi knew this kind of thing, and his parents were happy to see him oppressing Zhou Xiuyu. After all, in their eyes, his son was with them, and Zhou Xiuyu was an outsider. Now that he had the opportunity to squeeze Zhou Xiuyu, it was natural to be good. Use it, otherwise, if you get married, you will be someone else's daughter-in-law.

However, it may be because she realizes that Zhou Xiuyu can "sell" at a good price. Recently, except for her up-and-down attitude, she basically doesn't move her, and she doesn't choose to treat her deliberately harshly when eating.

Yin Qiuping heard the words and said: "Oh, you took it away, then you can keep it, it's useless for her to keep it."

Zhou Yunyi nodded and didn't say anything, the Zhou family couple kept praising him for being smart.

"Green smoke is rising from the Zhou family's ancestral grave. This is to let the Zhou family produce a third college student, who may be much stronger than your two cousins!"

The Zhou family and Zhou Yunyi's two cousins ​​of the same generation, Zhou Deming's second son, Zhou Yuncheng, has only taken a junior college exam, and has been working for a year now, Zhou Yunya has only taken a third college, graduated this year, and is doing an internship.

These two studies can only be regarded as trying their best, and the results are actually not very satisfactory. As for Zhou Yunpei, who is in the third year of high school, Zhou Deming and Sun Xiaomei have already discussed and planned to let him serve as a soldier next year. I was forced to go to the third year of high school, otherwise I might mix with other children who don't go to school, or go to work.

Yin Qiuping said: "Our Yunyi studies so well, we will definitely be able to get into a good university by then." She didn't know what one book, two books and three books represented, so she just used a good university instead, thinking about the other two nephews who went to college , High school and junior high school studies are just like that, if they are not as good as their Yunyi, then Yunyi's future university must be better.

Zhou Deyu took a breath and said, "What you said is not nonsense. As long as Yun Yi keeps at it, he will definitely be able to get into a good university and find a good job in the future."

Because of winning the prize, the family sat around and had a good meal at noon.

During the period, Zhou's couple also talked a few words about Zhang Tao.

Zhou Deyu took a sip of the soup and said, "He asked someone to send me a letter saying that he would come over to meet us on Thursday when he is not busy. We have a get together. It has been a long time since we saw each other."

Yin Qiuping said: "In this case, I can cook a few more dishes that day."

Zhou Deyu said in a firm tone: "Of course, he is the big boss now, and he drives a car." Santana 2000, he has seen this car on TV, it is very impressive.

Yin Qiuping said, "Hey, is there a car?"

"This guy has really made money, and I don't know if he can take us with him."

Yin Qiuping said: "Then you can have a good chat with him, maybe."

That's the end of the topic, and there was no further talk. At night, after the Zhou family and his wife fell asleep, Zhou Yunyi lay in bed tossing and turning because Zhang Tao couldn't sleep.

He was really afraid that the Zhou family couple would go crazy and ask someone to take Xiaoyu away. He even thought a lot about what he would do to stop Xiaoyu if she was taken away at this stage.

Tell the teacher?

Call the police?

Completely torn face with the Zhou family couple?

Because the joy brought by Xiaoyu's study was dissipated by Zhang Tao's upcoming arrival, the unknown of the future made people too confused.

But there are some things that are useless to be anxious, we can only take one step at a time.

Zhou Yunyi fell into a drowsy sleep, and woke up the next day. On the way to school, Zhou Yunyi told Xiaoyu not to come back for dinner at noon on Thursday.

"At noon, you stay in class reading or doing your homework, and I'll come over to bring you something to eat after dinner."

Zhou Xiuyu said puzzled, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Yunyi didn't hide it either. He didn't think that keeping the danger a secret was a form of protection for Xiaoyu. Sometimes when he should tell her the truth, he should explain it clearly, so that she could have a defensive mentality.

"The other day I heard him say that a family fell in love with you and wanted to arrange a blind date for their son. They were his former friends. They will come to the house for dinner on Thursday. Maybe the other party is here to see you. You'd better have a blind date at noon that day Don't go home, say it's a blind date, but the other party directly said the bride price, and they seemed very satisfied."

Xiaoyu is no stranger to blind dates and marriages, because she saw many rural girls in her class not coming to school this semester, and asked them what happened to the girls in the same village who were still in school. Most of the reasons for not going to school were staying at home. Take care of younger brothers or go out to work with people in the same village, and some rural girls who are a few years older than them and go to school later even get engaged to the man arranged by the family. Although they are not old enough to register, in rural areas, An engagement contract is equivalent to having held a wedding, and then just wait until you are old enough to get a marriage certificate.

She is no stranger to the matter, and at the same time very resistant to early marriage.

Although she still doesn't know how the baby came to be after marriage, she still doesn't want to marry prematurely and become a mother prematurely, she doesn't understand anything yet.

Her biggest goal now is to get out of here, away from them.

So when she heard Zhou Yunyi's words, her eyes were a little red, and she nodded as if she was suppressing her discomfort and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yunyi patted her arm to comfort her.

"Don't worry, there is a way for everything. With me here, don't give up resistance because of this matter. As long as you fight, you will definitely be able to live the life you want."

"Will they sell me?"

"No, he wants face so much, and you study so well. If you don't go to school suddenly, the school will take it very seriously. Maybe the town education bureau will go directly to his home to ask him what's going on. He's not without worries."

Zhou Yunyi's words confirmed Zhou Xiuyu's desire to become outstanding.

As long as she becomes outstanding, stands high enough, and has enough people to see her, will the chances of breaking free from here be greater?

Accompanied by the nervousness of Zhang Tao’s arrival on Thursday, Zhou’s siblings are still studying very seriously at school. Zhou Yunyi is already watching the second year of junior high school. He has a good foundation, a quick mind, and a quick learner. He has already made up his mind After finishing the first grade of junior high school, I jumped to the third grade of junior high school. I was in the same class as Zhou Xiuyu, and then took the senior high school entrance examination together, and was admitted to the same high school.

He has great plans for the future, although most of them are planned by himself.

On Thursday, Zhang Tao finished breakfast at home, went upstairs to see his son who was still sleeping, and went downstairs to talk to his wife.

"Then I'll go to the store to have a look first, and then I'll go to Guangyuan Town to meet that girl of the Zhou family. I used to remember her as a little girl, so I don't know what she looks like now." Zhang Tao said that his child met Zhou last year. The girls at home are actually all nonsense. He and his son had a car accident a few years ago, and the son injured his head. Although he did not become a fool, his actions and thinking became slower than ordinary people. The heart disease of the two is that they are afraid that their son will not be able to find a wife in the future. Girls in the city look down on his child. It can only be said that they are looking for some normal girls from the town or village. The family is poor and the parents are greedy for money. It is the best to bring children into the door with more dowries.

Meeting Zhou Deyu by accident, he remembered that the Zhou family had a daughter, and vaguely heard that his son was a fool, presumably the family must also be short of money, in order to marry a wife for his son in the future, the house, money, etc. Have to be prepared enough?

Zhang Tao has a problem with a child in his own family, and he feels the same for Zhou Deyu who has a dementia son. In fact, even if he wants to marry his son a daughter-in-law, the bride price of around [-] yuan in rural areas is too much, but because Zhou Deyu lives in a town and runs a I was in a small store, mainly because of the sympathy for each other, so I thought about giving more, lest people don't want to.

In fact, a little friendship is the best. Ever since Zhang Tao met Zhou Deyu in the city, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the girl from this family was the most suitable. When the girl was unwilling to live a life and went back to her natal family, he only needed to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Deyu. If the girl ran away, she would have to send it back to his son, otherwise, the bride price would be returned, and it would be interesting to see who took the money and was willing to return it.

Zhang Tao can be said to have thought of many details.

Zhang Tao's daughter-in-law said: "I haven't been back for many years. It's good to go and see my parents." Her parents used to be residents of a village near Guangyuan Town. After moving to the town, she put the presents for her parents, cigarettes and alcohol, nutritional products and milk powder into the trunk.

Zhang Tao started the car and said to her, "Then you stay at home with your son, and I'm leaving."

"Be careful while driving."

"understood."

Zhang Tao drove to the supermarket. He opened a chain supermarket in Quanlin County. From the original one to now there are three, with a complete range of products, ranging from bicycles, baby carriages, clothes and accessories, to a needle. The decoration is also clean and spacious. , compared with some messy small shops, visually it feels very comfortable to people, and the business has been very good in recent years.

After inspecting all three stores, Zhang Tao drove to Guangyuan Town around ten o'clock. The store the two of them opened is not here. After he left, Zhou Deyu changed the place again, but he still knew about the vicinity of the junior high school, so he drove there directly, looked along the street, and knew it when he saw Deyu Daily Chemical Store. It was run by an old friend.

Knowing that Zhang Tao was coming today, Zhou Deyu sat at the door and waited early in the morning. When he saw a car approaching, he got up from his chair.

These days, everyone generally has bicycles, and even some families don’t even have bicycles. Some families in the town drive motorcycles, but there are very few people who drive cars, so when such a car appears, Zhou Deyu subconsciously doesn’t He thought, it must be Zhang Tao who came. After seeing the driver clearly, Zhou Deyu had a smile on his face, and walked to the side of the car with a cigarette.

Zhang Tao got out of the driver's seat after parking the car, took Zhou Deyu's cigarette in his hand, and the two exchanged pleasantries before sitting down in the front hall of Zhou's house.

Hearing the voice of talking, Yin Qiuping, who was in the kitchen, came out quickly, holding hot water in her hand, said hello to Zhang Tao, and then made tea with tea.

When Zhang Tao saw Yin Qiuping, he would talk to his sister-in-law.

"My sister-in-law is the same as before. She hasn't changed at all. Look at me now. I'm annoyed by this belly."

Yin Qiuping covered her mouth and smiled, and then said: "Most people can't eat your stomach, which represents wealth, and life is getting better and better now."

Zhang Tao waved his hand and lit a cigarette with Zhou Deyu, looked around, looked at the street outside and said, "I haven't been back to Guangyuan Town for a long time, and I didn't get anything when I left. I didn't expect everything to change when I came back again." The tone was sighing.

Yin Qiuping didn't bother the two of them talking, and went to the kitchen to continue working after pouring tea.

Zhang Tao was chatting and saw the certificate of merit on the wall. He remembered that the daughter of the Zhou family was named Xiaoyu. Is the name on the certificate named Zhou Yunyi?

"This is Brother Yu, your son's certificate?"

Zhou Deyu said implicitly: "Yeah, I went to participate in some mathematics competition in the county a few days ago, and won a gold medal, and I was awarded 100 yuan." I don't know what came to mind, and I specifically mentioned, "Xiaoyu also won the gold medal. But she put away her certificate herself." Originally, Zhou Yunyi also put away, but Zhou Deyu wanted to show off, so he had to post it up, so Zhou Yunyi didn't bother to argue with him, so he let him go.

Zhang Tao was surprised, because his information was still on Zhou Deyu's son is a fool, he suddenly heard that he won the gold medal in the mathematics competition, but he was in a daze, and regretted not revealing this to his mother-in-law , let them inquire in advance.

However, after hearing that Zhou Xiuyu also won the award, Zhang Tao was quite happy. His son may not be able to inherit the family business in the future, but it is a smart existence to have a wife, and he can also have someone to support his appearance. He and It is impossible for his wife to guard his son for the rest of his life, and he was unable to have children because of that car accident, so there is always something in his heart to adopt a son.

I just hope that my son will get married early, get a wife and give birth to a grandson. The couple will work hard to raise their grandson. With a grandson, it doesn’t matter if the daughter-in-law leaves in the future. He mainly wants an heir, otherwise he earns so much What's the point of money? His Zhang family finally managed to have some family business with him, so it can't just stop with him.

Zhang Tao said: "Xiaoyu is so good? It's really a big change for a girl. She was a quiet little girl when she was young, and she went to junior high school in the blink of an eye."

Zhou Deyu said: "That's right, we're all old in the blink of an eye."

Zhang Tao shook his head and took a puff of cigarette, looked at the time and said, "School is over soon."

Zhou Deyu said: "School ends at 12 o'clock, it's almost half an hour."

Then he talked a lot about recalling the past. Zhou Deyu boldly asked him how he got up later. After all, Zhang Tao was poorer than him when he left. After selling out and repaying the debt, I don't have any money on hand.

Zhang Tao said: "It's also a coincidence. I just caught up with that opportunity. First, I opened a store to engage in wholesale non-staple food. Later, more people came to me to buy goods. I had working capital on hand, so I looked for other stores to open. That kind of supermarket in a big city thought about setting up one in the county seat, but it didn’t expect the business to be good, so it started to rise, mainly because Quanlin County is densely populated, and if it can be done, everyone is gradually not as miserable as before. Enjoyed it."

This really caught up with the opportunity, and Zhou Deyu could only be envious.

At around 12:10, Zhang Tao, who had been waiting for Xiaoyu to come back, did not wait for Xiaoyu, but instead waited for Zhou Yunyi to come back.

Seeing Zhou Yunyi's appearance, Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, because the child was very delicate, with good facial features, and was very good-looking. Looking at his older brother Zhou Deyu, and Yin Qiuping whom he had just met, Zhang Tao kept muttering in his heart. So handsome?

Subconsciously blurted out: "This is?"

Zhou Deyu immediately said: "This is my son Yun Yi, Yun Yi quickly called uncle."

"So handsome?"

Zhou Deyu said: "Follow his mother's looks, and his uncle is also good-looking. Fortunately, he doesn't follow me, otherwise it will be difficult to marry a wife." The last sentence was half-joking.After speaking, he stood up and took a look outside, wanting to see if Zhou Xiuyu was back.

Zhou Yunyi said hello to Zhang Tao, and Zhang Tao praised him with a smile, saying that he studies well, looks good, and will definitely be able to pass the university entrance examination in the future.

After Zhou Yunyi said hello, he was about to go to the kitchen to see if there was any help, and he didn't want to stay in the front hall, but Zhou Deyu stopped him and asked him.

"Where's your little sister Yu? There are guests here, so everyone should be there." Zhou Deyu, who usually doesn't care whether Zhou Xiuyu comes home for dinner, is particularly concerned about his daughter's movements today.

Zhou Yunyi replied lightly: "I may not be able to come back. Today, the teacher asked me to recite short English essays. I heard that she did not memorize them. She is still in the classroom." In this period, teachers have great power, and parents also listen to teachers, so It is common for people to be detained at noon if they do not finish their homework or do not perform well. Anyway, they will not be hungry if they are hungry, and it is not difficult for Zhou Xiuyu to fail to memorize her performance.

Zhou Deyu frowned and said, "Isn't she good at studying? Why can't she even finish this? She always loses the chain at critical moments." After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao said: "It's okay, it's okay, we will meet again in the future. Do the siblings look alike?" When he saw Zhou Yunyi's appearance, he was not worried about Zhou Xiuyu's appearance for a moment. If the siblings were similar, the elder sister would not too bad.

Zhou Deyu said: "Yeah, both siblings have followed his mother's looks. I'll go and find photos for you." Although it's not like some families take a family portrait at the end of each year, Zhou Deyu also takes pictures every two years. I will take my wife and children to the photo studio to take a photo as a souvenir, especially some time ago when the teacher took the children to participate in the competition, I took a group photo at school and gave the photo for free.

After Zhou Yunyi escaped, he went to the kitchen, but was kicked out by Yin Qiuping.

"What can you do for me? Just let Xiaoyu come over when Xiaoyu is back. You get out quickly." Every time Zhou Yunyi came to the kitchen, Yin Qiuping drove him out.

Zhou Yunyi had no choice but to go upstairs, and stood on the second floor platform looking at the fields in the distance, feeling uncomfortable.

Zhang Tao came to the house for one reason, and the other reason was that it would be December soon. If he remembered correctly, in December 12, his mother would leave.

And he was far away in a small town in the south, so it was impossible for him to go to the imperial capital to find them.

Time has made Zhou Yunyi's longing become dull, most of the time he can't think of his parents in the imperial capital, but occasionally when he thinks about it, he feels like a ball of cotton is stuffed in his heart, making him feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

Especially today, looking at the Zhou family couple who are so busy trying to let their daughter be seen, and thinking of his biological parents who were sad and grieving because of his body, his mood is particularly complicated.

Although this body gave him a new life, it also imprisoned him in this world.

But he believes that he can't be imprisoned for too long, and one day he will stand in the imperial capital and reunite with his family.

The road is long, but he has no fear.
