Chapter 24

Li Qin showed an extremely embarrassed expression.

If it were normal, she would really agree at once, but now it is not possible.

"Chunmei." Li Qin said apologetically: "You and Binzi think about Xiaoshuo. I feel so grateful in my heart, but Xiaoshuo..." After pausing, Li Qin said helplessly: "He is going to college this year."

"What?" Feng Chunmei was stunned.

Downstairs and in the main hall, everyone showed a look of surprise, and then looked at each other. Some suspected that they had heard it wrong, while others felt that Li Qin was really confused. It was understandable to reject Feng Chunmei, but at least they found a reasonable excuse.

Wen Shuo is going to college...

Then you have to pass the exam.

Obviously, Feng Chunmei thought so too. Her previous intimate and warm expression disappeared instantly, and she curled her lips and said contempt: "Second sister, I always think that you are not a person who tells lies and talks, so you just said that Wen Shuo was going to college, so he must have been deceived by him. He told you that he was going to college this year, right?" Speaking of this, Feng Chunmei showed a disgusting expression and said: "That kid is so slick every day, and it is not embarrassing to pick up rags outside... I said, "Second sister, how did you educate your children? You really believe what he said? Alas!"

Li Bin frowned inside the room and said, "Second sister, where is Xiaoshuo? Why didn't he come?"

Li Qin, who was struggling and embarrassed, quickly looked at her younger brother and said, "The old workshop of the cotton mill is going to be demolished today. He made an appointment with the person to go there to pick up scraps, saying that the workshop will be demolished and will produce a lot of scrap steel bars and scrap iron..."

"How much can you make by picking up ragged tolls?" Li Bin frowned and said, "Can he let him follow me and treat him badly?"

Li Bin's words were sincere.

If my wife had not been in charge of her strict control over the years and had to carry out convoy transportation by herself, she would really need the care of her relatives in the road administration and traffic police team. Li Bin had already helped her second sister so that she would not have let her second sister and nephew live a tight life in recent years.

This decision was made to let Wen Shuo follow the car, which he and his wife agreed. Although Li Bin knew that the reason why his wife offered to let Wen Shuo follow the car was that she wanted to find someone who could trust her to follow the car without spending money, distribute goods outside, etc. Moreover, Wen Shuo, a child with a treacherous back and waist, is famous for being brave, can fight and have a lot of heart. The freight trucks are running outside from all over the world, God knows what unexpected situations will happen. With Wen Shuo, a family member who follows the car, he can also provide more protection if something happens.

Li Bin thought that as long as his nephew catches up with the car, he will have the opportunity to give him some subsidies from time to time, and his wife will not know about it.

Unexpectedly, my second sister refused.

Li Bin was quite unhappy and thought to himself that his second sister just distrusts me so much?

"No, everyone has refused. Are you still begging me to come with a shameless face?" Feng Chunmei said angrily, regardless of the current occasion. Is it embarrassing to be so many people here? She glared at her husband fiercely, then looked at Li Qin and said, "The couple of us are kind and are treated as donkeys. If we are not happy, just say it. What are you using to go to college as an excuse? It's ridiculous!"

"Chunmei, Xiaobin, this is true..." Li Qin didn't want to make the scene too embarrassed at her sister's house, and said, "How about this, after dinner, I will go back to Xiaoshuo early and ask him how many points he got. If he doesn't do well, let's make a decision, right?"

"No need!" Feng Chunmei snorted coldly - she believed that Li Qin was deliberately not giving her face. Today she played the card of family affection and was very sincere, but she was rejected in public, which made Feng Chunmei particularly angry - she had never been rejected in the past few years in the interactions between relatives and friends.

In the aisle downstairs and in the living room of the main hall, the atmosphere was frozen for a while, and the scene was quite awkward.

Hu Junhai, the head of the family sitting on the sand, was unhappy and angrily cut off the cigarette butts in the ashtray and shouted outside: "It's time now, why don't you cook and cook quickly? If you have something to do, can you tell me if you finish the meal?"

Li Xiang hurriedly smiled and picked up the dishes he had chosen, and said, "Oh, I forgot to cook when I started chatting about my family. Qin, go cook with me."

"Oh." Li Qin, who was embarrassed, hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.

As the saying goes, you can't afford to offend...

Feng Chunmei didn't care about other people's thoughts at all, and said angrily: "It's all my relatives, who doesn't know who has a pound? Just like Wen Shuo, if he can get into college, I will pay for the school fee!"

"Chunmei, please say less! It's not over yet?" Li Bin frowned and scolded inside the house.

"What's wrong?" Feng Chunmei said with a stare without fear of her husband, "I advised her not to let Wen Shuo go to high school. It's just a waste of money. Staying at home for three years without making money, at least she can save tuition. I really don't know what she is thinking. She is so poor that she can't even have enough food. She doesn't pay back the money she owes others, and let her son go to high school..."

Li Bin said angrily: "The child was admitted to the first grade. How can he not let the child go to school?"

"What's wrong with passing the exam? I just got the score line of the second batch. I really thought that the Wen family could have a college student? I don't even check if there is that grass growing on the ancestral grave!" Feng Chunmei's voice became louder and louder, which made everyone very embarrassed.

advise?

How to persuade?

No one wants to provoke such a stingy person, let alone that they still have money and are rich and powerful.

At this moment, a petite girl wearing glasses, a blue short-sleeved T-shirt and a white long skirt, walked in quickly with joyful faces. She first called Hu Junying and then bowed politely to Feng Chunmei and said hello: "Hello, cousin."

It is Hu Junying's daughter Chen Nan.

Hu Junying knew that she should have done well in the exam when she looked at her daughter's expression. She asked hurriedly: "Nan Nan, how many points did she get?"

"56o points." Chen Nan said happily: "It should be enough for the undergraduate line."

"Ah, that's great, that's great." Hu Junying smiled happily.

When everyone heard Chen Nan’s college entrance examination results, they began to congratulate their families. The university has not yet expanded its enrollment this year. In addition, the comprehensive education level of high schools in ordinary counties is generally low in terms of hardware and software. Therefore, even children in the city are very good at getting into college, let alone in the countryside.

People's mood is easily affected and infected by the external environment. Feng Chunmei also felt much better because of the news that Chen Nan had good grades in the college entrance examination, but she still said loudly to the kitchen of the east house: "Look at Nan Nan, this is the material for going to college. She is beautiful, smart since she was a child, and very sensible!"

After saying that, she looked at Chen Nan again with a shy expression and said, "Nan Nan, you don't know that Wen Shuo still wants to go to college. You said that if he can get into college, then wouldn't college become a broken kiln that everyone can enter?"

Chen Nan was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the small stool with a strange expression, looked around and said, "Has Wen Shuo not come?"

"No, Brother Shuo has something to do today." Li Congwen said from the side.

"Why are he so embarrassed to come?" Feng Chunmei sarcastically said: "Only his mother believes that he can get into college, just because his son doesn't know how to come to school. When his son knows it, he doesn't feel embarrassed and says the big words in front of his relatives."

In the kitchen.

Li Qin was so angry that she trembled. With her pretty stingy temper, it would have been a big deal if someone else had a big fuss, but this was her sister-in-law.

If you don’t think about others, you have to consider your younger brother’s face.

Furthermore, today I am visiting my elder sister’s house, and my relatives and friends are here. It’s really a big deal. Isn’t it just a big mess for my elder sister and brother-in-law?

While thinking about it, Li Qin was so frustrated that shed tears.

Li Xiang shook her head helplessly, and could only comfort her sister softly, but she actually blamed her in her heart. In the eyes of her relatives, although Wen Shuo has good character, his academic performance is average and he is impossible to get into college. And in fact, young people who are relatively precocious will not leave a good impression in the eyes of ordinary adults, but on the contrary, they often create a bad impression of being smooth-mouthed and unstable, and pretentious.

Therefore, Li Xiang also believed that the second sister should not believe Wen Shuo's boast.

But the old saying goes, "Crops are good in other people's fields, and children are good in their own homes." So we can't blame Li Qin completely for mocking him.

At this time, Chen Nan was stunned for a moment and ignored Feng Chunmei's words. She quickly walked to the kitchen door, looked at Li Qin who was crying silently in front of the stove, and said in confusion: "Cousin, don't you know Wen Shuo's achievements?"

"Ah?" Li Qin quickly wiped her tears, turned her head and showed a reluctant smile, and said, "I don't know, Wen Shuo, he went to school to ask for his score today. I'm here to go for a while, and I haven't seen him yet."

"Oh!" Chen Nan clenched his fists tightly, and couldn't help but jump, like the only girl who knew a big secret, showing a happy and excited expression. She was even happier than when she mentioned her grades just now, and almost shouted out loudly: "Oh my God, you don't even know that he, he got 681 points!"

Without waiting for everyone to recall, Chen Nan turned his head and said to everyone excitedly: "Our class teacher said that Wen Shuo is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the county and the city this year. Maybe he will become the top scorer in the liberal arts in the province!"

In the hot summer, the farmhouse courtyard, which was once lively and loud, became quiet in an instant.

The top scorer in the college entrance examination?!

Wen Shuo?!

this……

Li Qin looked at her sister, who was holding a stir-frying pan in her hand, and she was staring at her in a daze. So Li Qin looked at Chen Nan, who was standing outside the door with a red and joyful face, and asked softly with a trembling voice: "Nan Nan, you, what are you saying, is it true?"

"It's true!" Chen Nan said excitedly: "When I was in school, many teachers, school leaders, and classmates who heard about this news were discussing whether Wen Shuo could become the top scorer in the liberal arts entrance examination in the provincial college entrance examination."

"Then, what university can he go to?" Li Qin asked with a dazed expression.

"Cousin, look at what you asked. He has scored so high. You can choose whatever university you want, Beijing University, Huaqing, Fudan..."
