" Chop down a stone of hope on the mountain of disappointment." This was what Zhao Ying wrote on the title page of her diary. That day, when Zhou Yaning was tidying up Zhao Ying's room, she accidentally saw this diary on Zhao Ying's desk. She casually flipped it open and saw this sentence. Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She continued reading curiously. The diary recorded the diary entries her son had written since high school. The first diary entry was: Life in high school began. I felt that it was very novel. Many of my classmates were unfamiliar, but we quickly became one. The high school teacher's lecture was very interesting. The form teacher was a male. He was of average height, but his skills were not bad. He knew martial arts. If there were naughty boys, he would use his fists and feet to deal with them. However, the teacher was very good to me. Although I was often naughty, the teacher never hit me. She only knocked on the table when she was angry.
Three years of high school life was like a long night. You had to go through it even if you cried, and you had to go through it even if you smiled. Why not be more optimistic? After a long night, dawn was about to arrive. High school is not heaven, but it is a road to heaven
Seeing this, Zhou Yaning smiled and flipped to another page.
"The sun is setting on the quiet African prairie. At this time, a lion was thinking, tomorrow when the sun rises, I will run to catch up with the fastest antelope; At this time, an antelope was also thinking, tomorrow when the sun rises, I will run to escape the fastest lion. Then, whether you are a lion or an antelope, when the sun rises, all you have to do is run." Zhao Ying wrote down the words that were published on the readers 'page in her diary to motivate herself.
Life was all about fighting! The young Zhao Ying had already realized this, which made Zhou Yaning feel gratified, but at the same time, she felt the cruelty of life. Competition was everywhere. How could Zhou Yaning not understand? Although Zhou Yaning was a deputy director, the company she worked for was in the process of structural transformation. It was no longer suitable for the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. Due to the blind investment of the current factory manager in large projects, the company was already heavily in debt and was on the verge of bankruptcy. If Zhao Feipeng's business hadn't been doing well, Zhou Yaning really didn't know if the family would have been able to survive. Zhao Ying knew about her family's predicament, so she worked hard. She wanted to rely on her own strength to get into a key university. Her parents 'wish was also to lay the foundation for her future in society.
While Zhou Yaning was reading Zhao Ying's diary seriously, Zhao Ying was listening to the teacher in class. It was already evening. Zhao Ying had almost digested the lunch she had at her grandmother's house. Zhao Ying's maternal grandmother, Zhang Jiajin, lived very close to Zhao Ying's school, so Zhao Ying went there for lunch and rest every day. Originally, after Zhou Ya Qi went abroad to settle down, she bought a new house and settled down. She wanted to take her mother abroad to enjoy her old age, but Zhang Jia Jin thought about taking care of her grandson, so she didn't agree. She only said that she would go after Zhao Ying got into university.
Zhao Ying had been very tired for the past few days. Her home was too far from school. Although Zhao Ying rode her bicycle at lightning speed, it still took her more than ten minutes. Every morning, Zhou Yaning would wake up at 5:30 am to cook eggs, warm rice, stir-fry vegetables, and make milk powder for Zhao Ying. She would wake Zhao Ying up at 6 am. Zhao Ying slept too late at night. She often went to bed after midnight, so she was unwilling to get out of bed in the morning. Zhou Yaning often called out to Zhao Ying patiently many times before she could pull Zhao Ying out of her sweet dreams.
After Zhao Ying woke up, she went to the bathroom, washed up, ate, went downstairs to get her car, and drove to school. She had to rush to school at 6:30 am. Every morning, she was as nervous as a war.
After her son left, Zhou Yaning took a short break and woke her husband up. She washed up, had breakfast, and went to work. The daily cycle of stressful life made Zhou Yaning, who was already in poor health, often feel dizzy and flustered. Coupled with the vegetative nervous disorder during menopause, Zhou Yaning often lost control of her mind. She did not dare to add to the burden on her son, so she could only throw a tantrum at Zhao Feipeng or cry alone for a while.
Zhou Yaning felt nervous and unforgettable when she thought about those days. Although Zhao Ying knew how to work hard, boys didn't have the energy to last long. In addition, she was playful in junior high school and didn't have a good foundation, so it was a little difficult for her to study. When he had just entered high school, he had also rushed into the school's top 100 list during the mid-term exam and was ranked 82nd. His form teacher looked at him in a different light and had high hopes for him. However, the good times did not last long. In the following final exams, Zhao Ying fell out of the top 100. Compared to her mid-term results, she was more than 100 points behind. This confused both the teacher and Zhou Yaning. Zhao Ying's fluctuating exam results put a lot of pressure on Zhou Yaning's heart. She was deeply worried about his future college entrance examination.
Zhao Feipeng's work was also facing a bottleneck. As the branch factory manager, due to the aging of the equipment, small accidents often occurred, making Zhao Feipeng's mental state tense. The reprimand of the head factory manager and the deliberate trouble caused by individual workers made Zhao Feipeng suffer. Therefore, he used a simple and crude method to get rid of his son. He often quarreled with Zhao Ying.
Amidst the chaos, the family welcomed the eve of Zhao Ying's college entrance examination.
In the second half of her third year of high school, Zhao Ying's results were: The first time, 410 points. The second time, 420 points. The third time, 416 points. Zhou Yaning bought the " Guide to Admissions " recommended by the school and read it after work. According to Zhao Ying's mock results, she was definitely qualified to enter a second-tier university. In the past, she had to score at least 520 points for a first-tier university. However, Zhao Ying had vowed to get into the key points. This sounded a little like a fantasy.
Zhou Yaning and Zhao Feipeng specially visited Zhao Ying's form teacher for this. According to the teacher's experience, Zhao Ying could only get into a second-tier university. If she did well, she could get into a good second-tier university.
Zhou Yaning thought that even if she graduated from a first-tier university, she could not guarantee that she would find a good job, let alone a second-tier university. Therefore, she thought of her younger brother Ya Qi. It was better to let Zhao Ying go abroad. Many students who failed the exam took this path. It was not bad to go abroad to get gold-plated. After talking to his younger brother on the phone, he found out that the cost of going abroad had also risen. If he didn't have 1.8 million, he wouldn't even think about it!
Zhao Ying did not appreciate her parents 'concern for him. She firmly believed that she could get into a top university. With this mentality, he welcomed the arrival of the college entrance examination with optimism.
On the day of the seventh month, the decisive battle had arrived.
The day before the college entrance examination was Saturday. Zhao Feipeng went to the streets to buy live carp, while Zhou Yaning was making dumplings at home. Her mother-in-law said that dumplings were lucky and auspicious! After buying the carp, Zhao Feipeng stood in the living room and opened the door. He threw the live carp out the door. The carp hit the door frame and bounced out of the door. Zhao Ying, who was listening to music and relaxing in her room, ran out to watch the show. "Carp jumps over the dragon gate! I wish you a nomination for the college entrance examination's Golden Roll! "Zhao Feipeng patted his son's shoulder.
Just as he was making a fuss, Zhao Ying's aunt called to cheer him on. At night, Uncle and Aunt came to visit again with fruits. Zhao Ying's grandmother also cheered for her grandson.
It was said that the college entrance examination was a family matter. This was true.
The next day, Zhao Feipeng escorted Zhao Ying to the examination hall. Zhou Yaning prepared lunch for them at home. Before leaving, Zhou Yaning wrote a note in English: "Victory, success! Success!" Leaning against the door, Zhao Ying smiled and typed a 'V' with her hand. She said with a smile,""On the battlefield!"
The two-day exam was over. Zhao Ying was determined to get it. She predicted that she would be able to get into a first-tier university if she could get more than 540 points. She even said that she would not go unless she was in Beijing! I won't go unless it's a book!
His arrogance caused Zhao Feipeng to quarrel with him again.
On the night of the results announcement, Zhou Yaning and Zhao Ying were in front of the television and phone. Zhao Feipeng was so sleepy that he went to sleep first. At midnight, Zhou Yaning picked up the phone, but it was always busy. Zhao Ying said,"" Mom, I'll do it. I'm mentally strong." Seeing her son's tightly knitted brows relax and reveal a faint smile, Yaning knew that her son had succeeded!
"561 points! He had surpassed the first tier! "530 points for a first-tier!" Zhou Yaning and her son cheered. Zhao Feipeng also got up when he heard the sound. The whole family cheered! On this night, many people would find it difficult to sleep. Some would laugh and some would be sad!
Zhao Ying's extraordinary performance in the college entrance examination had fulfilled his dream. He had entered a key university in Beijing as he had wished, and he was like a carp jumping through the dragon gate! From then on, he opened a glorious page in his life.
After attending many teacher-student banquets, classmate banquets, colleague banquets, and family banquets, Zhou Yaning, Zhao Ying, and Zhao Feipeng set off for Beijing. After settling her son down, Zhao Ying began her military training. Zhou Yaning said goodbye to her son with tears and returned home with Zhao Feipeng.
Zhou Yaning lamented the ups and downs of the past few years. She wrote an article," I sent my son to college," and submitted it to the newspaper. It was quickly published. Not long after, the company went bankrupt, and the employees bought out their seniority. Zhou Yaning's health was not good, so she retired early according to the special type of work.
