Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 24 It's like a different person
Ning Chen's hometown is in Gangcheng. Gangcheng is not far from Shengzhou. It can be reached by train in more than an hour.

Since it was a working day, Ning Chen's parents were not at home during the day, Ning Chen thought that they would have to cook when they got home at night, so she went to buy some vegetables and started cooking.

Although Ning Chen didn't cook often in his previous life, it was not a problem to cook a few home-cooked dishes. Before Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping came back, Ning Chen had already cooked four dishes.

When Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping came home and saw the food on the table, they were both a little surprised.

"Chenchen, when did you learn to cook?"

As far as Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping knew, Ning Chen had never cooked before.

"Hey, I learned it all online, and I don't know if it's good or not, so let's make do with it at night."

"Hey, I've already bought some good dishes. I'm going to cook some good dishes for you tonight." Wang Yanping said.

"Looking at the appearance of these dishes, they look good. You can cook the dishes you bought tomorrow."

Ning Qiang brought out a bottle of white wine, and wanted to have a good meal tonight.

Normally, Wang Yanping didn't like Ning Qiang drinking, but today her son just came back, and they also saw Ning Chen's final report card, so they had to celebrate today anyway.

"Chenchen, you did really well this semester. You took the exam with good students from all over the country and got No. 1. Come on, let's take one!"

Ning Qiang originally thought that Ning Chen's grades would be relatively average after he arrived at university, at least he wouldn't be at the top of his class like in high school.

After all, Shengzhou University is the top two universities in Ning Province, and its students are all top students from all over the country. Ning Chen will not have any advantage there.

Unexpectedly, Ning Chen was able to get No.100 among more than 1 students majoring in materials.

"That's right, Chenchen, we didn't expect you to do so well in the exam. When we saw the report card, we thought it was a mistake!"

Facing his parents' praise, Ning Chen just smiled modestly.

"I did well in the exam this time, and I hope I can continue to do so in the future."

Ning Chen remembered that in his last life, his final grades were only ranked in the bottom of the majors. It is estimated that when they saw their transcripts, they at least had serious expressions and remained silent.

"Chenchen, don't put so much pressure on yourself. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter how much you get in the exam."

With joy, the three of them chatted and ate.

"Don't tell me, Chenchen's stir-fried dishes are pretty good."

"It's delicious, it's not like cooking for the first time."

Seeing that her parents were suspicious, Ning Chen quickly explained:
"I went to the daily rental house with a few classmates before, and I also cooked a few times."

"Well, you still need to be able to cook when you grow up. In the future, you will have a family and live by yourself." Ning Qiang said.

When the meal was almost finished, Ning Chen took out the presents for his parents.

"Dad, Mom, I bought this for you."

The gifts Ning Chen chose for his parents were tea and skin care products.

These are things they like more, but usually they are reluctant to buy too good ones, after all, Ning Chen's family is not considered rich.

Seeing that the things Ning Chen bought were relatively expensive, Wang Yanping said anxiously:

"Chenchen, why did you buy such expensive things? These skin care products add up to a thousand yuan, right? You won a scholarship, so you can't spend money like this."

"That's right, the tea leaves cost over a thousand dollars. I wouldn't be willing to buy such expensive ones as gifts." Wang Yanping and Ning Qiang were not really angry, but they just didn't want Ning Chen to spend so much money on them.

"It doesn't matter. I earn a lot of money as a tutor. These things are nothing. You may not believe it when I tell you. My hourly salary as a tutor is 200 yuan. It is much easier to make money than you. You are usually reluctant to part with it. Use good things, it’s the Chinese New Year, so you have to enjoy it.”

"An hourly salary of 200 yuan? Is that much?"

According to the current income level of Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping, each person may not be able to earn 200 yuan a day.

"Of course, college tutors are very popular now, and I have good grades. Parents are willing to let me teach their children."

Hearing what Ning Chen said, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping's emotions eased a little.

"That's good, but Chenchen, you don't have to worry about making money. Now you are in the stage of learning. Although we don't earn much, we can definitely afford you."

"Yes, Chenchen, keep your money for yourself, and don't buy things for the two of us in the future."

Having said that, both Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were extremely happy.

My son not only got the first place in the major examination and won the first-class scholarship, but also knew that he made money to buy things for them.

They couldn't help sighing that Ning Chen had really grown up in the past six months, as if she had changed into a different person.

In the past few days when she was home, Ning Chen did not neglect her study and research work, and in addition to study and research, Ning Chen would also take the initiative to share some housework at home.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Ning Chen and her parents came to grandma's house. After everyone prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, they watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating.

In this day and age, everyone still watches the Spring Festival Gala while eating, especially Uncle Benshan's skits. Although Ning Chen has watched it several times, when he watched it again, he still found it very interesting.

Only in a few years, the Spring Festival Gala will really be just the BGM of the New Year's Eve dinner.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Chen's family of three came to Ning Chen's grandma's house.

After a while, Ning Chen's uncle Wang Yanlin also came over with his aunt and cousin.

Ning Chen's cousin is called Wang Junlong. He is only one month younger than Ning Chen. He is in the same class as Ning Chen. From childhood to adulthood, the two of them played better.

During the college entrance examination, Wang Junlong's scores were lower than Ning Chen's, and he was eventually admitted to Bingcheng University of Engineering.

Ning Chen also felt very friendly when he saw his cousin, and the two started chatting animatedly.

"Chenchen, Xiaolong, it's time to eat!"

"Okay, let's go over here."

Ning Chen's uncle, Wang Yanlin, was very talkative. Driven by Wang Yanlin, the atmosphere at the dinner table was also quite heated.

"By the way, there is good news to share with you."

Hearing Wang Yanlin's words, Ning Chen's grandmother quickly asked:
"Yanlin, what good news, hurry up and tell me!"

Wang Junlong seemed to have guessed what Wang Yanlin was going to say, and said quickly:

"Dad, there's nothing much to say about this little thing, right?"

"Xiaolong, what can't you say? Let everyone be happy."

Wang Junlong knew that he could not persuade Wang Yanlin, so he had no choice but to give up.
