Secretary Zhang told the people from the Youth League Office about the situation of the two families in the courtyard.
When the leaders of the Youth League Office heard that Song Ying had such a close relationship with the National Games champion, they also felt that the situation was a bit tricky and had to take Wang Fang and her daughter to the next yard.
After listening to Secretary Zhang's proposal, Lin Wufeng said, "How about this, let's discuss it first. After all, the extra partition will definitely affect the ventilation and lighting of our yard. We're going to live in this house for the rest of our lives."
"Of course. We don't want to do this, but people are about to die and human life is at stake." Secretary Zhang quickly made his position clear.
After the people from the cotton mill and the Youth League Office left, the two families started to discuss the matter together.
"Sister Ling, Zhou Qing is a very pitiful child. This plan will not have a big impact on us. I think it is feasible."
After Song Ying finished speaking, Huang Ling also nodded and said, "Wang Fang really had no choice but to do it, otherwise she wouldn't have sought death. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Just consider it as accumulating merit for the children."
Seeing that both of them had no objections, Lin Wufeng turned his gaze to Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying said sourly: "It's up to you to decide. This house is not for me anyway."
Song Ying wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Lin Wufeng.
After the two left, Zhuang Chaoying called Huang Ling in an inexplicable tone: "Why are you willing to help Wang Fang and Zhou Qing, but would rather divorce me than help my sister?"
Huang Ling simply said, "Giving up a few square meters of the yard will not affect Tunan's studies, but if Pengfei and your two nephews move in, Tunan will definitely be affected. You are a high school teacher, you should know this very well, but you still want to make your parents happy without considering Tunan's future at all."
"Your mother wants Xiaoting to serve them. Your parents favor boys over girls. You can see it from Hualin, but you still don't say a word. Tunan doesn't know the difference between college students and high school students. Xiaoting is still young. I have to protect them."
"I only have one request. Before Tunan takes the college entrance examination, we should continue as before. When Tunan's results come out, you can get married if you want. If you don't want to, you can get divorced. I will raise the child even if I have to be alone."
During the whole process, Huang Ling didn't even look at Zhuang Chaoying. The greatest sorrow is to be heartbroken. She had completely given up on Zhuang Chaoying.
Looking at Huang Ling's departing back, Zhuang Chaoying suddenly burst into tears like a child.
The wall of the courtyard was demolished. In order to prevent the area of the courtyard from shrinking too much, Lin Wufeng asked the people from the Housing Management Section to draw a white line on the ground. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan would take turns to watch the construction. Anyway, there were many children at home, so each person only needed to watch for a while.
Three days later, a small compartment appeared in the middle of the two courtyards. Although it was very small and could only accommodate a bed, it was at least a place to sleep.
Wang Fang said to Song Ying and Huang Ling gratefully: "It's great to have such an environment. When we were in Shanghai, we could only put up a wooden board in the kitchen to make do."
……
At the beginning of the new semester, Xiang Pengfei was arranged to study in the second grade of junior high school in the affiliated middle school. However, his foundation was relatively poor. According to Zhuang Chaoying's idea, he should be allowed to stay a grade next semester, and then he would be in the same grade as Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe.
Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan began their preparation for the college entrance examination, and their academic workload became much heavier.
Of course, this only applies to Zhuang Tunan. Qin Hao still plays as much as he wants every day, and his test scores are still ranked first in the grade.
Summer has arrived in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan successfully passed the preliminary examination. According to the college entrance examination policy in 1982, candidates need to take the preliminary examination first, then fill in their application forms, and finally take the college entrance examination.
In other words, candidates need to fill in their application forms before the college entrance examination begins.
Therefore, filling in the application form becomes very particular. Generally, people try to be safe and decide based on the candidate's usual academic performance and the admission results of some of their favorite colleges in previous years.
It is difficult for ordinary families to obtain these data. Fortunately, Zhuang Chaoying is from the education system and has collected a lot of internal information.
“Key colleges and universities basically do not accept second choices, so you must choose the first choice well. Otherwise, even if your college entrance examination scores are good, you can only go to an ordinary college.” Zhuang Chaoying said solemnly.
Lin Wufeng looked at Qin Hao: "Haozi, which university do you plan to apply to?"
"Tongji, Department of Architecture."
Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng were both very surprised to hear this. Tongji University's Department of Architecture is indeed a key university, but it is still inferior to Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University. With Qin Hao's grades, he is sure to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, so why should he choose Tongji University?
"I have an appointment with someone." Qin Hao said casually.
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying subconsciously looked at Zhuang Tunan, who quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not me. It's a pen pal he made."
Zhuang Chaoying didn't know what to say for a moment. If it were Zhuang Tunan, he would have beaten him up long ago. Giving up Peking University and Tsinghua University for a pen pal was simply heresy.
"Oh, is it the Shanghai girl named Muzi?"
Zhuang Chaoying looked at Lin Wufeng in disbelief: "You knew?"
"I know. Haozi told us a long time ago."
"So you still agree with him doing this?"
"Haozi will be sixteen soon. He is an adult. We respect his decision."
Zhuang Chaoying wanted to knock open Lin Wufeng's head to see what was inside. That was Tsinghua University! Such an important matter was actually let a child under the age of sixteen make the decision by himself, and just for an agreement with a pen pal.
Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
Zhuang Chaoying turned his attention to his son in anger, fearing that his son would also give him a "surprise"
Fortunately, Zhuang Tunan is not as unreliable as Qin Hao.
"I am also planning to apply to Tongji University and the Department of Architecture."
This idea actually just popped up in his mind. Ever since Qin Hao and he became classmates, he has been trying to catch up with Qin Hao. He has become accustomed to it over the years, and he also wants to try whether he can surpass Qin Hao in college.
Zhuang Chaoying probably guessed what his son was thinking, but did not point it out. Judging from his son's pre-examination results, if he performed better, he could still be admitted to Tongji University.
Since we all agree on filling out the application form, there is nothing more to say. The next step is to prepare for the college entrance examination.
So Song Ying and Huang Ling both worked extremely hard. Song Ying was mainly responsible for the periphery. Whenever Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan were reviewing at home, if there were rag collectors or hawkers coming to the alley, Song Ying would drag them away and nip in the bud the noise that would disturb the children's study.
Huang Ling was in charge of the household chores, including laundry, cooking, various desserts and cold drinks, doing everything in different ways, which dazzled Xiang Pengfei.
Zhuang Chaoying took the opportunity to encourage him: "If you take the college entrance examination in the future, you can also enjoy such treatment."
Xiang Pengfei lost interest instantly. It would be more painful for him to study hard like Zhuang Tunan did than to kill him. If he studied for fun like Qin Hao, it would be fine. However, he knew very well that he did not have the talent like Qin Hao.
On July 7, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan rushed to the examination room.
The college entrance examination came to an end three days later, but the days of waiting were more difficult than the college entrance examination.
Every night Huang Ling had to tossing and turning for a long time before she could fall asleep, and she even fell ill.
Song Ying's situation was not much better, so Lin Wufeng often went to work with panda eyes. His coworkers took the opportunity to make fun of him and asked him to control himself at night.
August 8th is the day when the college entrance examination results are announced.
Early in the morning, Song Ying and Huang Ling got up and prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
After breakfast, Qin Hao took Lin Dongzhe, and Zhuang Tunan took Zhuang Xiaoting to No. 1 Middle School. Xiang Pengfei returned to Guizhou during the summer vacation and brought his luggage with him.
Lin Wufeng had to go to work, leaving Song Ying alone at home, so she simply came to the Zhuang family.
Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling were still as lukewarm as before, but both looked absent-minded.
"Sister Ling, don't be nervous. Didn't Tuanan say that he performed quite well? With his pre-exam results, he will definitely pass." Song Ying comforted her.
Huang Ling nodded: "Yes, Tunan will definitely pass the exam."
On the other side, Qin Hao and four others came to the school honor roll, and Lin Dongzhe was the first to spot Qin Hao's name.
"Brother Hao, you are awesome! You scored 627 points!"
Lin Dongzhe roared, immediately attracting the attention of everyone around him, but they soon turned around to check their own scores. After all, Qin Hao had long been a "household name", and it was not surprising at all that he got this score. It would be surprising if he failed the test.
"Brother, I found yours, 563, you got admitted to Tongji University!"
Zhuang Xiaoting excitedly pulled Zhuang Tunan's hand and shook it.
Zhuang Tunan finally showed a relieved smile on his face: "Yes, I passed the exam."
On the way back, they occasionally met some classmates who asked about their grades. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan's answers were both simple four words: Tongji, Architecture.
Along the way, I received many envious glances from my classmates.
Finally, I returned to the familiar alley. Aunt Li at the entrance of the alley shouted, "Haozi and Tunan are back from reading the list."
Suddenly, the whole alley became lively and neighbors came one after another to inquire about the situation.
From a distance, Song Ying and Huang Ling heard a commotion outside, and then the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.
"Dongzhe, Xiaoting, why did you come back alone? Where are Haozi and Tunan?" Huang Ling asked nervously.
Lin Dongzhe took a breath and said, "We are blocked in the alley."
"Who blocked us?" Song Ying and the other two looked confused.
Zhuang Xiaoting smiled and said, "Aunt Li and the others said that Brother Hao and my brother were admitted to prestigious universities, and they wanted to share their good fortune with them."
As they were talking, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan had already run back in a panic.
"Did you pass the exam?" Huang Ling asked cautiously.
Zhuang Tunan nodded: "Yes."
Huang Ling's eyes suddenly filled with tears and she began to search for her wallet in the room: "Xiaoting, go buy some popsicles. I'll give you the money. Buy whatever you want."
Song Ying was not nervous at first, but when she saw Zhuang Tunan passed the exam, she became nervous.
"Aunt Song, I passed the exam too."
Lin Dongzhe added: "Brother Hao not only passed the exam, but also ranked first in the city."
"Their teachers kept expressing their regrets, saying that with Hao's score, he could have chosen any major from Peking University or Tsinghua University, but why did he choose Tongji University so conservatively?"
"Lin Dongzhe, go buy some popsicles too. Don't buy ice cream. Or comic books or something. Just buy whatever you want." Song Ying was so excited that she was at a loss.
Huang Ling grabbed Song Ying's hand and said, "Song Ying, you guys don't have to cook tonight. I've bought the vegetables, meat, and chicken. Let's celebrate today."
"I'm ready too."
In the end, it was Lin Dongzhe who came up with the solution: "Why don't you eat at Aunt Huang's house tonight, and then come to our house tomorrow."
"Okay, then let's have the buffet for two consecutive days." Zhuang Chaoying was rarely so excited.
However, before they could be happy for long, Zhuang Tuanan received a call from a teacher at No. 1 Middle School. According to the results of the physical examination before the college entrance examination, Zhuang Tuanan had mild color blindness.
Huang Ling's mood instantly fell from the highest point to the bottom as if she was on a bungee jumping machine.
"Does Tunan still have school to go to?"
Zhuang Chaoying also looked unhappy: "I can definitely get into Tongji University, but I might change to a different major."
Zhuang Tunan looked at Qin Hao with frustration.
Zhuang Chaoying thought about it for a long time but still felt unwilling to give up, so he went to the ophthalmology department of the factory hospital to borrow a set of color blindness test cards. After testing, it was confirmed that Zhuang Tunan did have mild color deficiency, which made Huang Ling even more at a loss.
"How about this? I'll take Tunan to Tongji University overnight and have a face-to-face discussion with the admissions office teacher. Even if he can't study in the Department of Architecture, he should try his best to avoid being transferred to some unpopular major."
Just when Zhuang Chaoying was about to go out with Zhuang Tunan, they happened to meet Lin Dongzhe who came back from outside buying soda.
"Brother Tunan, what happened to you guys?"
Zhuang Chaoying didn't have the heart to explain to Lin Dongzhe, and was about to leave when he heard Lin Dongzhe shouting.
"Brother Hao, there's a call for you. It seems to be from a teacher from Tongji Admissions Office."
Zhuang Chaoying paused and grabbed Zhuang Tunan who was about to leave the hospital.
Qin Hao took the soda from Lin Dongzhe, but before he could take a sip, Zhuang Chaoying came over.
"Haozi, Tunan's physical examination report shows that he has mild color blindness, which may affect his college entrance examination application. When you communicate with the admissions office teacher later, can you help him ask about the situation?"
Huang Ling also came out at this time, looking at Qin Hao eagerly.
"no problem."
Soon, the group arrived at Li Yiming's family's grocery store. After answering the phone, Qin Hao learned that he had ranked first in the science subject in JS Province. The admissions office of Tongji University was afraid that Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University would poach their students, so they called Qin Hao in advance to communicate.
During the time when Qin Hao was communicating with the teacher in the admissions office, Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Tunan felt extremely distressed. Fortunately, they soon heard Qin Hao talking about Zhuang Tunan's problem.
"Zhuang Tunan? Wait a minute, let me check."
In order to reassure Zhuang Tunan, Qin Hao handed the microphone directly to him.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Zhuang Tunan's heart was hanging in the air.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Tunan suddenly heard a cheerful voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"Student Qin Hao, we have already communicated with the professor of the Department of Architecture. Mild color blindness does not affect architectural design. The score of Zhuang Tunan you mentioned is enough to enter the score line of our Tongji Architecture Department. He will receive an admission letter soon..."
