"Chinese 125, Mathematics 146, English 138, Science 287, total score 696. Second in class, tenth in grade? This…this can't be true, right?"
Liu Aizhen looked at the name on the report card in disbelief. Su Lin. That's right, it was absolutely true. It was her son's name.
"Old Su, Old Su…You…Wake up…Look…This is Xiao Lin's report card…Xiao Lin got second place in class…tenth place in the grade!”
She shook Guorong violently, but Guorong was drunk. How could he wake up so easily? Liu Aizhen excitedly pinched Su Guorong's nose, making him breathless. Only then did he cough a few times and wake up in a daze.
"What are you doing? I still want to drink…"
Su Guorong's voice was still drunk. Liu Aizhen was angry and scolded,"Still drinking? Drink your head. Sooner or later, you'll drink to death. Old Su, wake up quickly. Look at this report card. It's our Xiao Lin's. She's ranked tenth in the grade.”
Liu Aizhen picked up the teacup on the table and sprinkled some water on her husband's face. Only then did Guorong wake up a little.
"What is it? Xiao Lin's report card?"
Su Guorong slowly took the report card from Liu Aizhen's hand. When he saw it, his eyes immediately widened and he said in surprise,"Little Lin ranked tenth in the grade? My son got tenth place in the grade?"
In an instant, Su Guorong was completely sober. He grinned and said," My son is really promising."”
"No wonder this little brat dared to make such a bet with Lil Tang the night before. It turns out that he already had a plan in mind. I thought he was bragging.”
Liu Aizhen held the report card and was all smiles. She had completely forgotten about being laid off.
"Dad, Mom, the dishes are ready. Come and eat!”
At this moment, Su Lin came out of the kitchen with soup. Seeing that his father had woken up, he said," Dad, you just sobered up. I'll make you some hangover tea."”
Looking at his father's white hair, Su Lin's heart ached. All these years, he had made his parents worry a lot. From now on, he had to be sensible and bring a better life to this family so that his parents could enjoy a peaceful life.
"Little Lin, don't trouble yourself. Quick, quick, quick…Sit down, we'll talk while eating. Is this report card really yours? Did you really get into the tenth place in the grade this time?”
Liu Aizhen quickly called out to Su Lin and asked with the report card in her hand.
"There's no other Su Lin in Jian An High School. Mom, this is my report card. This time, I really got tenth place in the grade. Moreover, I will definitely do well in the college entrance examination and get into a famous university.”
Ever since he started high school, this was the first time Su Lin had seen such expectations in his mother's eyes. His heart immediately warmed, and he swore to get a good result in the college entrance examination.
"Good, Little Lin, you have ambition. You're my son indeed. Work hard. Even though Dad has been laid off, as long as you get into a good university, Dad will support you no matter what.”
Su Guorong had also completely escaped the haze of being laid off. He said seriously," It's just a job! Dad was an old driver who had been driving for more than ten years. Why would he be afraid of not being able to find a job? Your mother's salary will cover the expenses of the family for the time being. There are also some savings that will be enough for your first year of university tuition.”
"Old Su? You…are you really going to be laid off?"
From what Su Guorong said, Liu Aizhen confirmed that her husband was also unemployed.
"Also? Aizhen, did you get laid off too? Didn't your factory say that you wouldn't lay off people this year?”
After the couple confronted each other, the Su family's situation was now clear. Both of them were laid-off and unemployed at home. The Su family had no source of income and relied on a few tens of thousands of yuan in savings. If Mr. and Mrs. Su did not find a job quickly, they would be sitting idle.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'll think of a way to get the money for college. After the college entrance examination, I'll think of a way to earn money. I'm going to be eighteen soon. I'm an adult now. I won't ask you for money anymore. I will also support this family.”
Su Lin said firmly when he saw his parents 'worries again.
"Nonsense! Xiao Lin, you don't have to worry about the family matters. Your task now is to put all your attention on your studies and do well in the college entrance examination. Dad has his own way of dealing with the problem of money."
Guorong said with his father's pride.
"I can rely on the ability to pause time to earn money, but it's not good to tell my parents now. Even if I said that I could make money, they wouldn't believe me. In any case, she couldn't let her parents worry about her in the future.”
The meal was very enjoyable. Even though the Su family was struck by a bolt out of the blue, and both Su Lin's parents were laid off, Su Lin's results improved by leaps and bounds, injecting new hope into the family.
After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Su chatted with some neighbors in the courtyard and asked them which employers were hiring recently. The neighbors also expressed their surprise and sympathy for the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Su were both laid off. Those who could help agreed to go back and ask if their work unit needed people.
"Uncle Su, don't tell Xiao Lin about this. Xiao Lin is about to take the college entrance examination. It will affect his results.”
Ye Xingzhu, who was in the courtyard, said worriedly.
"Xingzhu, Xiao Lin already knows. However, our Xiao Lin has grown up and is sensible now. His grades had also improved a lot. He believed that there would be no problem with the college entrance examination this time. He would definitely be able to get into a good university.”
Usually, when the neighbors talked about Su Lin, Liu Aizhen would always speak with a disappointed attitude. However, today, she was different. She even said that Su Lin's grades had improved and that it would not be a problem for him to get into a good university. This made the neighbors feel strange.
"Could it be that Little Lin really improved in this exam?”
Ye Xingzhu was delighted.
"That's right! Little Lin's results had improved greatly this time. He was ranked tenth in the grade!”
Liu Aizhen said loudly. Ever since Su Lin's high school grades dropped rapidly, she hadn't praised her son in the courtyard like this for a long time.
"Wow…Tenth place in the grade? Wasn't Xiao Lin from Jian An High School? The tenth place in the grade could be admitted to a key university!”
"Not only the top universities, but even the best universities like Qingbei and Yanjing University might be able to get in.”
"I remember that Su Lin's grades weren't very good in the past, right? How did he do so well all of a sudden?”
……
Liu Aizhen's words shocked everyone. What was the concept of being ranked tenth in the grade? Jian An City had a population of more than 500,000, and Jian An First High School was the best high school. Every year, about 150 people were admitted to a university. Being ranked tenth in the grade was already enough to be admitted to the top universities in the country.
The neighbors naturally knew about Su Lin's previous results. Many of them even knew about the bet between Su Lin and Tang Zhongwang two days ago.
"Impossible! With Su Lin's grades, how could he get into the top 10 of the grade? He might not even get into the top 100.”
The one who said this was Tang Zhongwang's father. He looked unconvinced. Originally, in this courtyard, only his son and Su Lin were studying at Jian An High School. In the past, Su Lin's results were good and suppressed Tang Zhongwang. Now, Tang Zhongwang's results were the best. Every time he performed well, he would be praised by his neighbors. But this time, Su Lin had stolen the limelight.
Tenth in the grade? With Su Lin's trashy results from the Su family for three years, he was able to get into the tenth place of the grade? Dream on! He must be bragging! He didn't know how to draft when bragging.
"By the way, Old Tang, isn't your Zhongwang also studying in Jian An First High School? What was the result of this exam? Hadn't Zhong Wang's results always been pretty good? There was hope in the previous one."
"I just asked my Zhongwang. He told me that the results haven't been released yet. The exam just ended yesterday. How can the results be released so quickly? Obviously, Brother Su, I'm afraid you've been deceived by your Su Lin, right? He deliberately made the results sound nicer. The results had not even been released yet, so how would he know that he was ranked tenth in the grade? Based on Su Lin's previous results, do you think it's possible?”
Indeed, when Tang Zhongwang came home today. Father Tang did ask him about the exam results, but Tang Zhongwang did badly this time. There were no marks on the English answer sheet, and his ranking had plummeted. He could only stutter and lie to his father that the results had not been released yet.
Of course, Mr. Tang really thought that the results had not come out. Now that he saw Mr. and Mrs. Su showing off Su Lin's results in the courtyard, how could he not ridicule them? In his opinion, Su Lin must have lied about the results.
"The results haven't come out yet? Then…the report card that Xiao Lin showed me was? Could it be that he got it himself?"
Su Lin's improvement in his grades was unbelievable. When Mrs. Su heard Mr. Tang say that his grades had not come down, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Su Lin was lying to them. Mother Su was immediately enraged. Without a word, she charged back home and pulled Su Lin out by his ear.
"Little brat, are you lying to me again? The results of your Jian An High School's third year examination have not been released yet. Where did you get the report card? I thought you had grown up and become sensible. I didn't expect you to lie so much.”
Liu Aizhen was really angry this time. She was just proudly praising Su Lin's results in the courtyard, but she was exposed by Father Tang in an instant. She lost all her face. More importantly, Su Lin actually used his results to lie, which made her even angrier.
"Hey, hey, hey…Mom, let go of your hand first. Who did you hear that the results haven't been released? The results haven't come out yet. Where did I get the report card?”
Su Lin was reading a book seriously in his room when he was suddenly found out by his mother. He was extremely depressed.
"Report card, look at this report card. Tell me, did you get it yourself?”
Mrs. Su threw the report card at him. Many people in the courtyard were looking at it, especially Mr. Tang. He looked like he was watching a good show.
"Mom, look. This report card has our school's official seal on it. It's always printed this way. How could I do it myself? Who told you that our results haven't come out yet? Let him come out and confront him."
It wasn't easy for him to get a good score, but he was still not believed. Su Lin was depressed! He turned around and saw Father Tang smiling at him."Little Lin, it's wrong of you to lie like this. Our Zhongwang has already said that the results haven't been announced yet. Where did you get this report card?”
So it was Tang Zhongwang. Su Lin instantly understood. But why did Tang Zhongwang tell Father Tang that the results hadn't been released yet?
"By the way, when the English exam ended, I erased Tang Zhongwang's answer sheet number. His English score was probably only around ten marks. Could it be that he was afraid that his parents would find out about his poor results and lied that his results had not been released yet?”
After thinking about it for a while, Su Lin understood what had happened. He held back his anger and looked at Father Tang." Uncle Tang, I remember that I made a bet with your Zhongwang the night before yesterday. I wonder if it still counts?"”
"That bet?"
Although Father Tang wasn't present that day, he knew about the bet between his son and Su Lin. They were betting on whether Su Lin could get into the top 50 of the grade. Whoever lost would have to call the other party grandpa.
"Humph! It's a child's toy, but…since it's a bet, it naturally has to be counted.”
Looking at Su Lin's fearless expression, Father Tang sighed at the young man's ignorance. However, he did not believe that Su Lin could really get into the top 50 of the grade, so he nodded and said.
"Alright, since Uncle Tang said so, please go and call your Tang Zhongwang out. Whether or not the results are out, whether or not I got into the tenth place in the grade, I'll ask him to come out and confront him.”
Seeing that Father Tang had fallen into his trap, Su Lin chuckled. At this moment, Tang Zhongwang seemed to have heard the commotion in the courtyard. He was listening from behind his door. Su Lin saw him at a glance and shouted at him,""Tang Zhongwang, grandson, come out and greet grandpa!”recommendation tickets, fresh flowers
