when she became "he"

Chapter 27

It has been more than half a month since Xu Nuo came back from school, and this day is the day when the results of the college entrance examination came out. The three members of the Zhao family gathered around the only telephone in the village at the small store at the head of the village, holding their breath, with faces full of Can't hide the tension.

According to the inquiry phone number transcribed by the school, he pressed down the numbers one by one. Every time he pressed a number, Xu Nuo felt his breathing behind him get heavier, and even he became nervous. Although he was sure of his grades, he didn't know if he was affected Under the influence of Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan, he felt that his palms became sticky, and he couldn't get through several times in a row. This situation made him a little irritable.

Finally, the phone got through, and Xu Nuo followed the prompts to input his admission ticket number and ID number one by one. Even though he was as confident as he was, when the calm electronic sound began to score, he still felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop. The sweat from the palm of the hand made the whole palm sticky.

Total score 708

Hearing the last number, Xu Nuo let out a long breath, only then did he feel that his whole heart had come to fruition.

Afraid of making a mistake, he asked the system to re-report the score for a while, and after confirming that it was the same as what he heard the first time, he hung up the phone.

"Dawen, how is it?" He just put down the microphone, and Zhang Xiujuan asked impatiently. Although Zhao Dazhu didn't make a sound, the eagerness in his eyes couldn't be concealed, obviously he was extremely concerned.

Xu Nuo turned around and looked at the two simple and wrinkled faces behind him. He was full of gratitude and showed a big smile from the bottom of his heart: "Abba, Eminem, I passed the exam with a score of 708!"

"How much?" Zhang Xiujuan asked again in disbelief.

"Em, it's 708, I'm sure I'll pass the exam this time."

Zhang Xiujuan felt that she couldn't control her hands and feet, and turned to Zhao Dazhu with a stiff face: "His father, what was Dawen's score last year?"

Zhao Dazhu can fully understand his wife's mood at the moment. Although they don't know much about the college entrance examination, they also paid special attention to this aspect when their son took the college entrance examination last year. Not to mention that Zhao Wenwen only scored more than 300 points in the exam last year Last year's top scorer in city r was only over 670 points.

But now his son actually told them that he got 708 points in the test!

"Dawen, did you hear me right? Do you want to call again to confirm?" Zhang Xiujuan asked in disbelief. She realized something was wrong after she said the words. hurt him.

Xu Nuo can understand Zhang Xiujuan's mood. After all, last year's test scored more than 300 points, but next year it almost doubled. Such a situation is unlikely to be placed on anyone, but Xu Xu knows his own affairs, The score of the previous year belonged to the original Zhao Wenwen, and had nothing to do with him. Even if he hadn't gone through this year's training, he would never get that little score at his level, not to mention that he was afraid of making a mistake just now. He specially checked the score twice, so there was no need to check the score a third time, but in order to reassure the parents, he still checked it again. At this time, the system was particularly busy, and he promised to call it a few more times before it was counted. The call got through, and after the call was connected this time, he simply put on the speakerphone, and let Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan listen to the electronic voice and report his scores in each subject and the total score one by one.

"His dad, it's true, 708 points, we scored 708 points in the Dawen test!" Zhang Xiujuan's voice was slightly choked, and she fell on Zhao Dazhu's shoulder. And it fell crystal clear.

Xu Nuo was stunned, looked at Zhao Dazhu, and found that his eyes were red and slightly wet at the moment, and he patted Zhang Xiujuan's shoulder with rough palms. He looked at the rural couple in a daze, a little helpless Understand their gaffe at the moment.

No matter how smart he is, he may not be able to understand Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan's mood at the moment. He promised to check the results to confirm that the efforts of this year will not be in vain. A bright future, although he was a little apprehensive about checking the results, most of them were looking forward to it. The difference was that Zhao Dazhu and his wife were more worried and fearful. Their only son passed away last year. Because the results of the college entrance examination have jumped the river once, if it happens again this year, they will not be able to bear it anymore, so when they learned that their son really got a high score in the test, although they were also happy, they were more concerned. It was the heart that was raised in the air and fell to the ground, so they don't have to worry about their son being overwhelmed. The ups and downs really made them suffer for a while.

He didn't publicize the fact that Xu promised that he got a high score in the college entrance examination. Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan are not talkative people, so the promise is that their family knows how the college entrance examination is going. It was because I failed the exam again, so I didn't tell them about the grades. Therefore, when communicating with other people in the village, the words were intentionally or unintentionally carried such a little meaning.

If Zhao Wenwen's relatives said this, there would not be too many people doubting it, so everyone in the village believed the fact that Xu Nuo failed the exam. Once again, Xu Nuo became a hot topic among the villagers, even Many families have begun to consider whether to let their children continue to study. After all, there are such ready-made examples, and it is estimated that reading is useless.

Because these gossips were all behind Zhang Xiujuan's back, they didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until Zhang Xiujuan's good sisters in the village came to comfort her that she didn't know when the village had already Rumors that Dawen failed the college entrance examination and almost jumped into the river again, and there is a growing trend, and it is said that Zhao Wenwen will repeat the second time.

"Sister Xiujuan, don't be sad, Dawen is really too ignorant, he is also 20 or [-] years old, everyone in the village who is his age has become a father, he is still so reckless in doing things, I don't even think about you and your brother-in-law being the only one like him. If something really happens, what will you and your brother-in-law do? If I see him, I will definitely scold him. Proper!"

The person who came was Zhang Xiufen, from the same village as Zhang Xiujuan, and they were cousins ​​of the same clan. They had a good time with Zhang Xiujuan when they were not married. Later, they married in the same village, and their relationship with each other was comparative. Closely, this time she just heard from the people in the village that Xu Nuo failed the college entrance examination and jumped into the river. The story was passed on clearly and clearly, and she couldn't help but believe it, so she came to comfort the former sister.

Zhang Xiujuan was stunned when she heard this, and didn't understand what Zhang Xiufen said at all: "Xiufen, what did Dawen do wrong? You are his aunt and elder. If he really did something bad, don't worry about it." Ask me and your brother-in-law, you can teach him a good lesson." Even though she said so, Zhang Xiujuan didn't think her son would do anything bad at all, Dawen has always been sensible, especially in the past year, and he didn't let him She and his father had worried about it, she didn't think that such a sensible son would do anything bad, but Xiufen sued her in front of her, so she had to make a statement anyway.

Zhang Xiufen was stunned by Zhang Xiujuan's reaction, she didn't know what to do, "Sister Xiujuan, I said that I have taken this major essay twice, and I didn't do well in both exams, maybe the old Zhao's family really doesn't have this kind of feng shui. He can't be a college student, why do you let him be self-willed, he is not young, and he hasn't done any serious work in the family until now. A young master..."

Although Zhang Xiujuan was confused, she keenly caught the key words in Zhang Xiufen's words, and interrupted her: "Xiufen, you mean you didn't pass the exam? Where did you hear that?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Xiufen asked back, "This matter has been spread throughout the village, sister Xiujuan, you don't have to hide it from me."

"What's going on here?" Zhang Xiujuan asked quickly.

Seemingly realizing that there was some misunderstanding, Zhang Xiufen immediately told some news she heard from the village, and especially emphasized that the words came from Aunt Zhao.

When Zhang Xiujuan heard this, she immediately became angry: "This Li Guihua who killed a thousand swords, I knew she didn't like our Dawen, and always poured dirty water on our Dawen, let's see if I don't scold her next time I meet her. My surname is not Zhang!"

"What's wrong, Miss Xiujuan?" Seeing Zhang Xiujuan like this, Zhang Xiufen also realized that something was wrong.

"This Li Guihua, who killed a thousand knives, falsely fabricated the rumor that our Dawen jumped into the river for no reason, and even cursed him for failing in the exam. Why is his heart so vicious? After all, our Dawen is also her own nephew. Is there such a thing as an aunt? ?”

"So Dawen didn't jump into the river?" Zhang Xiufen asked.

"What kind of river did you jump! Our Dawen scored 708 points, which is more than 30 points higher than last year's No. She did very well in the exam this time, and she might come back with a top scorer!" Speaking of her son's college entrance examination results this time, Zhang Xiujuan looked proud. With a high score, she also wished that people all over the world would know her son's excellence.

When Zhang Xiufen heard this, she slapped her thigh with her palm, and annoyance flashed across her face: "Oh, it really is a rumor that kills people, and this Li Guihua is also true, why are you talking nonsense?" After a pause, she continued, "Sister Xiujuan, so you can pass Dawen this time?"

Zhang Xiujuan looked proud: "That's natural. Although I don't know much about it, Dawen said that with his grades, he can basically choose any school in China."

Zhang Xiufen was amazed when she heard this: "So Dawen really did well in the exam this time, our Zhaojia Village is finally going to produce a college student!"

The two of them were talking, and suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door. Before they could react, a half-grown boy ran in from the yard. When he saw Zhang Xiujuan, he stopped and stood in the yard panting heavily. , his face turned red from the intense excitement.

"Auntie, where is Brother Dawen, are you at home?" The half-grown boy was Zhao Qian, the leader who Xu Nuo brought the children to catch cicadas.

"Brother Dawen is not at home, what's the matter with Aqian?"

"Auntie, I'm here to announce the good news. Brother Dawen has won the provincial champion. There are banners hanging all over the town with words written on them!"

"Really?"
