By the time Chen Zhou arrived home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

My uncle's family came to my family because Chen Zhou didn't call in advance.

So when he entered the house, the house was having a lively meal.

"Hey, Xiaozhou, why are you back?" The first person to see Chen Zhou was his mother Zhang Hongying.

"The Golden Week has three days off. I'm back now without evening self-study today." Chen Zhou explained, put down his things, consciously walked into the kitchen to wash his hands, and served his own meal.

"How is Xiaozhou's recent study? Are you very tired when going to Maochang High School?" Seeing Chen Zhou coming to pick up food with food, uncle Chen Jianjun asked.

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's not too tiring."

"How many points can I get in the monthly exam? I heard from your parents that you have also been admitted to the science class (1) of your school. I heard that it is still the best repeat class in your school?"

"Well, I got into Class (1)."

Hearing Chen Zhou's answer, my uncle said with satisfaction: "It's good that you can work hard. At the beginning, I told your dad not to let you repeat the exam. It's already great to be able to get a first-class student. Go to college early and work early.

It can also help the family relieve some pressure. But your father didn't agree, saying it doesn't matter if he is tired, as long as you can seize the opportunity."

Chen Zhou didn't expect there was such a story. He was very glad that he had been working hard and making progress.

"Brother, are you drinking? Why are you talking too much?" Chen Jianguo was displeased when he saw his elder brother revealing his feelings in front of the child. He picked up the bottle and filled it with it.

Chen Zhou looked at the two of them and smiled, put the bowl on the table, found his backpack, and searched carefully.

Holding the monthly exam report card, Chen Zhou walked to his father and whispered: "Dad, this is the monthly exam report card. The teacher asked the parents to sign it."

"I'll see how many points you score first, and then decide whether to sign or not." Chen Jianguo took the transcript, slowly unfolded, and looked very carefully.

"This Chinese is 133, I got 113 in mathematics, 215 in science, 126 in English, and the total score is..."

"Dad, the total score is 587, and the school is ranked 147." Chen Zhou said it first.

"Yes, you can do it well in the exam." Chen Jianguo nodded and carefully signed his name on the transcript.

But my uncle couldn't help but scold his younger brother: "You are so good at speaking. Xiaozhou's exam is obviously very good, and he has made great progress. You still say that this child is not good at English, but what's wrong with the English exam?

OK? Children should praise them or praise them.”

The uncle's words also reminded Chen Jianguo. He suddenly looked up at Chen Zhou and asked, "Xiaozhou, did you take the English test by yourself? Or did you copy someone else's?"

Chen Zhou looked speechless. Although his English was indeed obvious to all, was it as for copying someone else's?

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't say anything, Chen Jianguo thought he had seen through his son's tricks and was about to get angry, but his wife pulled him into the sleeve.

Zhang Hongying said: "Xiaozhou, I must have worked hard during this period to achieve this result. I have lost weight. Have a meal first and don't pay attention to your father."

Chen Zhou ate the chicken legs that his mother picked up and vaguely said, "Thank you, mom, these chicken legs are so delicious."

After hearing what his wife Zhang Hongying said, Chen Jianguo noticed that his son had indeed lost a lot of weight and had become a little darker. His hand holding the transcript couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, my uncle quickly found a step for his younger brother: "Kanguo, I think you are just having fun secretly. Xiaozhou repeats the exam is your support. No one believes in Xiaozhou even more than you. Now Xiaozhou has made progress in studying hard, and you are still

Pretend to be confused. I think you are waiting for the boat to bring surprises to our Chen family next year."

Following the elder brother's words, Chen Jianguo hurriedly said, "I must believe Xiaozhou. OK, it's done well. That Hongying, go and get me a cup, and I'll have some drinks with my elder brother."

Zhang Hongying glanced at her husband, but said nothing, and got up and took him a cup.

At the dinner table, the uncle and aunt kept praising Chen Zhou and constantly asked their own son, Chen Zhou's cousin, to study hard with their elder brother.

Chen Zhou is the eldest among the younger generation of the Chen family, and his uncle's child is two years younger than Chen Zhou.

Even Chen Zhou's younger brother Chen Xiao was a little scared, but fortunately he was still in junior high school.

The family finished the meal warmly and warmly.

After dinner, my uncle and his family went back, and Chen Zhou and his father delivered them to the door.

The two of them were in a hurry to go back, so they went out for a walk together.

"Are you very tired during this period?" After walking silently for a while, Chen Jianguo spoke first.

"Well, it's really tiring." Chen Zhou nodded honestly this time, "Maochang High School is indeed different from ordinary high schools. It has strict management and is full of time every day, either test papers or handouts.

.”

Chen Zhou said, glanced at his father, and changed his tone and said, "However, the days of every day are also fulfilling. It is because of this that I can make rapid progress."

"Xiaozhou, I found that you seem to have changed. I have never heard you say that learning is fulfilling." Chen Jianguo also discovered his son's transformation, as if it started when he decided to repeat the exam.

After a pause, Chen Jianguo continued: "Dad apologizes to you for what happened just now. I am happy that you can achieve good results, but I am afraid of you..."

"Dad." Chen Zhou interrupted his father and said in a positive tone: "Dad, don't worry, since I have chosen to repeat the exam, I will definitely stick to it."

Looking at his father's vicissitudes of face, Chen Zhou added in his heart: "I can't let you down."

"Or why your mother goes over and take care of you, so that you can study more with peace of mind." Chen Jianguo once again made the suggestion of accompanying him to study.

"Dad, no, I can take good care of myself. And Chen Xiao is also at school at home. You are busy and tired at work, so you can't do without my mother's care." Chen Zhou also told me about calling the restaurant owner to order food.

Finally, he gave my father a reassuring look.

"Okay, Dad, I believe you can take good care of yourself. Dad, I also believe that next summer, you will definitely bring great surprises to the Chen family!" Chen Jianguo said, taking out something and handing it to Chen Zhou.

"What?"

"Look at it."

Chen Zhou took it and saw that the beautifully packaged mobile phone had not been opened yet.

"Rice 3?" Chen Zhou opened it and looked a little surprised. He didn't expect his father to buy him a new phone.

"I have used the Nojiya you used for several years, so it's time to eliminate it. Now I think I've used this kind of mobile phone, which seems to be convenient for online searching for information, and I believe you can control yourself. I heard that this is still

I finally got the latest model this year," Chen Jianguo explained.

"Thank you dad."

The father and son were chatting while walking. After struggling, Chen Zhou told his father what his class teacher Wang Xuehui told him.

Chen Jianguo thought about it and happened that he had time in Golden Week, so he readily agreed to go to school with Chen Zhou.

The two of them thought they had been strolling outside for more than an hour before going back. When they got home, their mother Zhang Hongying teased him: "I thought you had sent someone to my elder brother's house. If I don't come back, I'll call to ask.

Now.”
