Chapter 42 (1/2)

At the end of the two-day examination, the snow on the ground was covered with two more layers. Zheng Jianguo and Zheng Donghua turned from the main road to the village road. Unexpectedly, they saw a familiar face. Zheng Fugui was walking back and forth. Seeing that his dark face was white with cold, it can be seen that they had been waiting for a long time. At this time, they saw the sister and brother appear, His face showed three eager steps and did two steps in front of him. His voice trembled and his voice dried: ”how was the exam?”

”Dad, if you don't stay at home on a cold day, you'll be cold here.”

Zheng Jianguo looked at his father's big white face, immediately pointed to Zheng Donghua next to him, opened his mouth and continued: ”the fourth sister did an average test, and I did well.”

”Can you pass the exam?”

Zheng Fugui subconsciously opened his mouth, then patted his forehead, turned and walked home for two steps and turned back: ”someone asked and said that he didn't do well in the exam, remember?”

”Remember.”

Zheng Jianguo also knows some gossip in the village. Zheng Donghua's enthusiasm for going to work has passed. During this period, with the momentum of the college entrance examination, it has aroused people's heated discussion. As Zheng Fugui didn't take two steps, he opened his mouth: ”the Party branch secretary said that the lowest person who passed the examination was also a cadre, Today, the cadres of the brigade asked me how you two did in the exam from the morning. You said you didn't do well in the exam. Do you know? ”

”Well, I see. You're afraid you won't look good if you don't pass the exam.”

Zheng Donghua said with a smile on her lips. Unexpectedly, Zheng Jianguo didn't care about it at all: ”Dad, in the eyes of those people, it's right that we can't pass the exam, but they are also jealous. My fourth sister and I are lucky. After reviewing for so long, they are still jealous --”

”I'm jealous, so Dad let you say you didn't do well in the exam.”

Zheng Fugui thought Zheng Jianguo didn't understand what he meant, so he stopped and even looked at him and said: ”in this case, it's nothing even if we can't pass the exam. We don't have a bad exam to show off. If we do, people will only say you're modest, not you - what's that called? Is the opposite of modesty? ”

”Arrogance, arrogance, showing off.”

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that his father would have words he couldn't think of. He said that Zheng Fugui nodded and said, ”it's just showing off. It's just that the dog can't hide two liang of sesame oil in its belly. It's like doing something for fear that others will know - self modesty is a good thing. No one likes to burn bags.”

”Yes, Dad, Shaobao is also the opposite of modesty.”

When Zheng Jianguo and Zheng Donghua looked at each other, they could see the smile in each other's eyes. However, the smile in their eyes quickly disappeared. They usually didn't like to talk about them. In particular, they rarely said that his Zheng Fugui was so nervous. It was obvious that they were under a lot of pressure. Therefore, when someone asked after entering the village, they all smiled and said they didn't do well in the exam, So a few days later, Li Tie came and asked, ”you haven't reviewed for so long. Why didn't you do well in the exam?”

”Learning for a long time doesn't mean you can do well in the exam.”

Seeing this small, Zheng Jianguo's attention turned in a direction: ”didn't you play with fa cai? Stay away from him and be careful that he sells you. ”

Of course, bu Facai's goods are not human traffickers. Although no one would want to sell them at Li Tie's age, the truth of being close to Zhu is still very scientific. After playing with a second rate for a long time, he can only become a second rate. The most thing li Tie should do now is to squat at home honestly: ”when I have a chance, I'll give you some ideas, We earn half of the money, but you can't say that to others. Remember? ”

”Oh, remember.”

Li Tie hesitated and said the conversation. Seeing that Zheng Jianguo didn't want to go out to play, he shook his head and left. He thought that those who failed in the exam could come out to play together, so he didn't take his words to heart.

”The harvest in the brigade is good this year. You should think about taking the medicine money you owe.”

When Zheng Jianguo returned to the house, he heard Du Xiaomei speak behind the curtain. Then Zheng Fugui's voice sounded: ”it's still early. It's only a month before the new year.”

”It's just right now. Say hello in advance and say that you need to prepare money for college. People say that you are rich and poor. You should understand this better than I do.”
