Chapter 485 The No. [-] Scholar in the College Entrance Examination, Parents' Work

Shamao Lane is lively in the morning, and it is even more lively today. Strangers coming and going appear in Shamao Lane, and there are many reporters carrying cameras.

An aunt who had just been interviewed by a reporter chatted with a passing neighbor.

"The old Zhou family is really famous this time. If our son is half as good as their kid, then I will really die without regret."

"Come on, this is the number one scholar in the country. There are only two in a year. Anyone can do it?"

"It's really unexpected that a small place like our Shamao Lane can produce the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"The boy from the old Zhou family, I have long seen that he is different. He is really a Wenqu star, so he can be the same."

…………

The reason why Shamao Lane is so lively today is because the results of the college entrance examination have come out. Shamao Lane has a national college entrance examination champion, so of course it will be lively.

Zhou Chen became the No. 84 student in the college entrance examination in [-] with the top score in science in the country.

The day after the results came out, there was a sensation in Shamao Lane. In addition to the visiting reporters, there were also many school teachers and leaders, as well as leaders from the district and city.

The school and the district and city all gave awards to Zhou Chen, which totaled 5000 yuan.

In this era, what is the concept of 5000 yuan? Many people work for several years to earn this money without eating or drinking.

Zhou Chen's family of three managed to cope with the visiting crowd, Zhou Chen didn't care, but Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang went crazy with excitement.

As parents, the greatest wish is for their children to become useful. Now that Zhou Chen is so good, they are naturally very happy.

"Old Zhou, Xiaochen saved face for us, we must organize this school entrance banquet properly."

In this world, few people can escape from Vanity Fair. Although Han Huifang is just an ordinary housewife, she still has a good face.

Now that his son has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, such a major event must be handled in a special way, and he can't wait to let all his relatives and friends know the good news.

"No problem, I will start to make arrangements now, and then choose a good day to make arrangements."

Zhou Jianguo naturally had no objections.

Regarding the parents' thoughts, Zhou Chen understands very well. His own child is promising, so of course he has to celebrate. If it were him, he would definitely do the same.

After discussing the entrance banquet, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang began to care about Zhou Chen's choice of school again.

"Xiaochen, have you decided which university to go to? Peking University or Jinghua?"

From their point of view, their son is the number one student in the college entrance examination, and this university is not a random choice, even if it is the best university in the country, it must be no problem.

Facing his parents' questions, Zhou Chen said, "Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to these two universities, nor do I want to leave Jinling or you."

Zhou Jianguo was thoughtful: "So you want to go to Jinling University? That's fine. Although Jinling University is not as good as the two universities in the capital, it is also one of the best universities. It is also close to home. You can come back whenever you want."

Han Huifang also nodded in agreement. Although she wanted her son to go to the best university and receive the best education, deep down, she still hoped that her son would be by her side.

A mother who has lost a child naturally wants her child by her side.

"No, I'm going to Jinling Medical College."

"Medical school?"

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang were shocked by Zhou Chen's answer. They could still accept Jinling University's words, but they really couldn't accept Jinling Medical College.

"Xiaochen, why do you want to go to medical school? This school is much worse than Jinling University."

"Dad, Mom, I want to study medicine."

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang looked at each other, and then Zhou Jianguo said, "Xiao Chen, even if you want to study medicine, you don't need to go to Jinling Medical College. You can go to the medical school in the capital. The conditions there should be better."

Zhou Chen: "Mom and Dad, I don't want to go to the capital, I just want to stay with you in Jinling, although the medical school in the capital is better, but I believe that my learning ability, even in Jinling, will definitely not be inferior to the capital. "

In a world where the spring breeze is not as good as yours, he has already studied in the best medical school in China, so there is no need to go again.

"Can……"

"Dad, I've made a decision, you just trust me, I will never let you down."

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to Zhou Chen's choice. Their son was willing to stay in Jinling to accompany them. What else could they say.

Zhou Chen finally got his wish and applied to Jinling Medical College.

When this news came out, it caused quite a stir in Jinling. The top student in the college entrance examination did not choose the best university in China, but chose Jinling Medical College instead. This was unexpected by everyone.

Even the leaders of Jinling Medical College were dumbfounded after hearing the news.

Although they feel that their school is very good in their hearts, they also know that compared with those top universities in China, their school still has a big gap.

As a result, Zhou Chen, the dignified top student in the college entrance examination, chose their medical school instead of going to Beijing University or Jinghua. He was shocked and delighted at the same time.

Because Zhou Chen's choice is undoubtedly a very loud advertisement for their medical school.

In addition, Zhou Chen's ability to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination shows that he is very smart. Such an outstanding talent is naturally what all schools want.

But after all, he was just a top scorer in the college entrance examination. After a wave of uproar, he was quickly forgotten, and TV stations and newspapers stopped reporting it.

On the same city wall, Zhou Chen, Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin gathered together again.

"I heard you say last year that you want to study medicine. I didn't expect you to actually study medicine. But why didn't you choose the medical school in the capital, and insisted on choosing the medical school in Jinling?"

Qi Weimin was only surprised that Zhou Chen became the champion of the college entrance examination, because he knew that Zhou Chen had this ability.

It’s just that I can’t understand Zhou Chen’s application to Jinling Medical College. He feels that with Zhou Chen’s grades, he can get a better one, and even work hard. He has the opportunity to study abroad. Why did he choose Jinling Medical College, which is not top-notch? hospital.

Qiao Yicheng said, "Zhou Chen, you don't want to be too far away from home, do you?"

"There is a reason for this." Zhou Chen nodded.

Qi Weimin said: "I know what you mean, but I still think that your choice is not the best, but it's good, we all stay in the province, and it will be very convenient if we want to get together in the future."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen asked them: "You two, what do you think of the one-year university?"

Qi Weimin said: "I feel pretty good. It's much more comfortable than going to high school, and I have more time. I can often go home and have a look."

Qiao Yicheng: "I also feel very good, and our normal school does not require tuition fees, and sometimes we can work and study, which is much more fulfilling than in high school."

The reason why he went to normal university at the beginning was because normal university did not pay tuition fees, and he could also do odd jobs after he went to university, which was much more comfortable and relaxed than when he was waiting for his father to give him money at home.

"By the way, Zhou Chen, I heard that you gave Sanli your junior high school notes. Sanli's academic performance has improved a lot in the past year. It shouldn't be a problem to get into high school."

Zhou Chen said: "I heard from Sanli before that your father doesn't want her to go to high school, but wants her to learn technology and go to technical school?"

Qiao Yicheng snorted coldly: "He is really reluctant to pay the tuition fee, and wants Sanli to come out to work earlier."

Zhou Chen said tentatively: "If your father doesn't want to pay for the tuition, I can help. In the future, whether it is work or other things, academic qualifications are really important. If you go to high school, you will have the opportunity to be admitted to a university. If you go to a technical school , In the future, it will be the life of a worker; I am not saying that workers are bad, but in the future, there will be many jobs that may be better than workers.”

The current workers are naturally iron rice bowls, but he knows that this situation will not last long.

Both Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin had been in college for a year, so they could understand Zhou Chen's meaning after being exposed to the society.

Qiao Yicheng said: "Thank you, Zhou Chen, but Sanli is my younger sister, and I will try my best to help her."

Qi Weimin teased Zhou Chen: "I said Zhou Chen, you think about Sanli so much, do you have any thoughts about her?"

Qiao Yicheng gave Qi Weimin a hard look, and cursed: "Qi Weimin, shut up, Sanli is still young."

Indeed, Qiao Sanli is only 13 years old, in his eyes, she is just a child.

…………

"Sanli, here are the high school notes I prepared for you, you should study them carefully."

Zhou Chen gave Qiao Sanli a pack of books.

Qiao Sanli was admitted to high school. Although her father did not want her to go to high school, but with the support of her elder brother Qiao Yicheng, she finally went to high school as she wished.

But Qiao Zuwang said that he only provided living expenses, other tuition fees, book fees, etc., and let the brothers and sisters figure out their own way, and he would not pay a penny.

Qiao Sanli took the schoolbag happily. She is more than 15 years old and is a big girl. If other boys treat her so well, she will definitely reject her, but she will not refuse Zhou Chen's kindness.

Ever since Zhou Chen rescued her that year, she has had a different feeling for Zhou Chen in her heart. Even after several years, this feeling has not faded, but has grown deeper.

This is also the reason why she never rejected Zhou Chen's kindness to her, but she buried this emotion in her heart and dared not show it easily.

Because Zhou Chen is so outstanding, and she is just an ordinary girl, and her family is still a mess, she feels that she is not worthy of Zhou Chen.

"Are your tuition fees and living expenses enough? If not, I have them here, and I will lend them to you."

Zhou Chen took out a few hundred dollars from his body and wanted to pass it to Sanli.

Seeing that Zhou Chen gave her money, Qiao Sanli quickly pushed it back: "Brother Zhou Chen, I have money, and my elder brother gave it to me."

As she spoke, she also took out a handful of broken banknotes from her pants pocket.

"Xiaochen."

Suddenly a voice sounded, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli turned their heads to look, and saw Zhou Jianguo sitting on the bicycle, looking at them strangely.

Zhou Chen didn't respond, but Qiao Sanli's face turned red, and she quickly said something to Zhou Chen in a low voice.

"Brother Zhou Chen, I'm going back first."

As he said that, he was about to flee, but he realized that it was impolite, so he turned around and shouted to Zhou Jianguo, "Hi, uncle."

Watching Qiao Sanli flee in a hurry, Zhou Chen walked towards his father.

"Dad, are you leaving get off work so early?"

Zhou Jianguo sighed: "The factory has not been doing well recently and is relatively free. That girl just now is the Qiao Sanli you mentioned, right? I see that you have looked for her several times. Do you like her?"

Zhou Chen said helplessly, "Dad, do you think it's appropriate to discuss this here?"

Zhou Jianguo glanced at the people coming and going, "Okay, let's talk about it when we go back."

When I got home, Han Huifang had already prepared the meal.

"Come back, wash your hands and eat."

The family of three sat at the table eating, and Han Huifang said worriedly, "Old Zhou, what's going on in the factory now?"

"Ugh."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but sighed, "The efficiency in the factory is getting worse and worse, and the leaders are also trying to find a way, but I guess there is no good way. According to the deputy factory manager, it seems that someone wants to Buy our factory."

"Acquisition?"

Han Huifang was surprised: "We are a state-owned enterprise now. If we are acquired, wouldn't we become a private enterprise? Then can we keep our jobs? There are seniority pensions and so on. We have not retired for a few years. , nothing can happen at this time."

The couple have worked in the textile factory for many years. Han Huifang will soon be 50 years old and will be able to retire soon. If the factory suddenly disappears, her retirement will definitely be affected to some extent.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We're just small workers. We can't handle it at all. We've made trouble many times. What's the use?"

Although the workers are still dominant now, and no one dares to lay off workers easily, but if this continues, the factory will be over soon.

"Dad, what is the situation in your textile factory, tell me, I will help you as a staff member."

Zhou Chen was more concerned about his parents' work. He knew that his parents had worked in the textile factory all their lives, but they couldn't die. They couldn't even keep their jobs.

Han Huifang said: "Yes, my son is so smart, let him give us advice."

Thanks to Zhou Chen's consistent excellent performance, Han Huifang believed in her son. She felt that his son was so smart that even though he had never worked, he must know more than them.

Zhou Jianguo didn't refuse, and started talking to Zhou Chen about the textile factory.

In fact, the problem is also very simple, that is, the efficiency of the textile factory is getting worse and worse, but the number of workers has not decreased, and gradually it cannot continue, and it has not been paid for several months.

Zhou Chen listened very carefully. Although what Zhou Jianguo said was not very detailed, with his many years of experience in business, he still found the key to the problem at once.

How to put it, it is still the problem of the textile factory itself. In the past, as a state-owned enterprise, it was supported by the state. Naturally, it was an iron rice bowl and was superior.

However, the society is developing, but the textile mills do not want to make progress and change, their competitiveness is gradually declining, the order business is getting less and less, and the natural profit is getting less and less.

All in all, even if it is unable to make ends meet, even the wages of workers cannot be paid, how can this factory persist?

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jianguo also took the initiative to comfort his son: "Xiaochen, don't worry, the factory won't be closed for a while. Your mother and I are middle-level cadres anyway. I'm worried."

Zhou Chen thought for a while, and then asked: "Dad, I don't think it's a big deal to work in the factory all the time. Have you ever thought about doing something yourself?"

Zhou Jianguo was taken aback, and asked, "You mean to let us go to sea? No, no, your mother and I are workers with establishments. How can we go to sea? Absolutely not."

Han Huifang also agreed: "Your father is right. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible and will be laughed at. Who would let good workers go to sea to do business?"

Zhou Chen smiled wryly, and he also knew that this was the reason of the times. In the 80s, going into business was not a compliment. It can be said that few people would choose to go into business instead of working as a worker.

But he didn't let his parents start from scratch, but had other purposes.

"Dad, Mom, you misunderstood. I mean, have you ever thought about taking over the textile factory?"

"what?"

Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang were stunned instantly.
