The three days of exams were tense but orderly. Seeing the relaxed smiles on the two children's faces, Chen Weizheng knew that the results were good.
The second day after the exams, the two children couldn't wait to go to the countryside. They said that they wanted to visit their grandparents. As for the grading of the papers, they left it to their mother. Also, with a mother who worked in the Ministry of Education, they didn't need to worry about these chores.
Under Xiao Song's influence, Xiao Zhu also completely adapted to the study plan. In the second semester of the third year, they slept early and woke up early. They had a glass of water and trained appropriately before going to school. The only difference was that Xiao Zhu rested normally while Xiao Song did not do normal breathing exercises.
In the last exam, Xiao Song successfully defeated Xiao Zhu and became the first in the grade.
For the two of them, passing the middle school exams was no longer a problem. The problem was who was first and who was last.
On the way, the three siblings made a bet on who would be the first to ask about the exams. In the end, they found that all three of them guessed wrong. The four elders seemed to have made an appointment and no one asked about the exams. Chen Weizheng and the other two were very disappointed.
After entering the house, the four elders only noticed that Xiao Song and Xiao Zhu had grown taller and stronger. Especially Liu Songzhao. In the past half a year, he had grown to 1.78 meters. He was much taller than Chen Weizheng who had grown three centimeters after cultivating on Longtou Mountain. He had a stocky build, a buzz cut, and big eyes. He was a typical sunshine boy. He was completely different from the little brat he used to be. In front of him, the 1.65 meter Chen Zhuxuan was already a little cute and lovable.
In the afternoon, the sun was very good and it was very hot. Chen Weizheng and Liu Songzhao, who were dressed in short clothes, came to the riverside. Chen Weizheng wanted to check on Liu Songzhao's overall situation in the past half a year. Chen Zhuxuan applied sunscreen and followed behind with a parasol. The four elders knew that they had to come along to watch the fun. They chose to sit under an old camphor tree by the riverbank and showed a strong interest in the assessment.
Chen Weizheng led Liu Songzhao to do some preparation activities first. Their preparation activities were a bit different. They sat quietly under the shade of a tree for about five minutes and then opened their eyes at the same time. Chen Weizheng did not use his hands to support himself. His body stood up out of thin air. Liu Songzhao also did not use his hands to support himself. He directly stood up from his cross-legged position. He did a few stretching exercises along with his breathing and was ready to move.
The river bank in summer was much greener than in winter. The willow branches were still the same willow branches, but with the addition of willow leaves, it looked much more graceful. Xiao Zhu stood under the shade of the tree. She wore a pair of sunglasses, a dress, small sandals, short stockings, and a small purple umbrella. Coupled with a youthful smile and a healthy posture, this was the scenery that Mr. Mao Dun did not discover in the past. If you were to add in the four old men who were standing or sitting, grumbling or laughing, you would definitely shout, "This is the most fashionable scenery, the most tranquil life."
The first event was still running and jumping. The route was still the winter route. As usual, Chen Weizheng ran first. This time, Chen Weizheng did not run as fast as in the winter, but he was very rhythmic. With a light tap on each pebble, he swept to the other side. He was very elegant and chic, like Chow Yun-fat standing in a bamboo forest full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Liu Songzhao was obviously faster than Chen Weizheng. He was a bit anxious in some places, and some of his turns were obviously stiff. However, in the eyes of the elders, Liu Songzhao did much better than Chen Weizheng. In their eyes, Chen Weizheng should have done well, but Liu Songzhao was the result of hard work. This was because they knew Liu Songzhao's past too well. In just half a year, Liu Songzhao had not only undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance, temperament, knowledge, action, and thinking, but this change had completely exceeded their understanding of growth.
The second event was jumping. The water on the dam was about eight or nine meters wide, and a big willow tree hung its branches in the middle of the river. Chen Weizheng slowly ran a few steps on the side of the river. Suddenly, he sped up and rushed to the water. When he reached the edge of the water, he bounced hard and rushed to the river like a dolphin. His body slid through the air and fell in the middle of the river. At this time, Chen Weizheng stretched out his hand and gently pulled on the hanging willow branch. The willow branch trembled, and Chen Weizheng had already jumped and landed on the opposite bank.
The elders looked at each other. They knew that they had seen the legendary Qing Gong. They also knew that this was not something an ordinary person could do. At the same time, they also pinned their hopes on Liu Songzhao, who would appear later.
Liu Songzhao appeared. His run-up was faster, his jump was fiercer, and he was more aesthetically pleasing. After using the willow branch in the river, he also successfully landed on the opposite bank. The difference was that at the same time he landed, the willow branch he had borrowed also landed on the river.
The elders thought that it was very successful and applauded fiercely. Liu Songzhao did not appreciate it. He lowered his head and walked in front of Chen Weizheng to listen to Chen Weizheng's comments. From afar, he saw Chen Weizheng say a few words and then patted Liu Songzhao's shoulder with the intention of encouraging him. The elders were unhappy. The first to raise an opinion was Old Master Liu. "This is not bad. Little Zheng is a bit of a braggart!"
"It's a flaw, not a fart." Old Master Chen corrected.
"What flaw? It's a fart." Old Master Liu said, "What flaw is, it's something that actually exists. If you look carefully, you can still find it. But a fart is different. You can't find it no matter how you beg. We are in the medical field, so we have a deeper understanding of this than you. That's why it's a fart, not a flaw! "
Old Master Chen was speechless.
The two old ladies at the side laughed until they fell.
Chen Zhuxuan opened her eyes that couldn't be any cuter. She understood the deeper meaning of this explanation.
On the fourth day, the results were out. Liu Songzhao ranked first in the city.
Chen Zhuxuan, who had been first in the city for three years, finally lost her integrity. She lost in the final entrance exam and fell to second place. However, she was not unhappy at all. She knew that her advantage was that she was almost 30 points away from the third place. She had already given up on the idea of surpassing Xiao Song.
After knowing the results, Old Master Chen said, "This is only a small competition in the city. The provincial competition will be held in three years. We will only know if Toad Palace Collapses Osmanthus Knows How Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand."
The two children deeply agreed.
Grandma Chen decided to bake a pizza to encourage them. When the round scones were served, Old Master Liu explained that they were starting from scratch.
Chen Weizheng's car shed was really full of long loofahs. The layers of green leaves were so dense that no light could pass through. Grandma Liu's small vegetable garden was very attractive. The land was neatly lined, vegetables of the same size, purple eggplants, red peppers, green onions …
Grandpa Chen's ornamental fish was very famous in Gu Yi City. The president of the ornamental fish association was a retired director. The association's members came a few times and forcibly left a pile of money to take away a large group of live fish. The price was quite high. It showed results earlier than Old Master Liu's rare herbs, which made Old Master Liu depressed again.
Old Master Liu also had his own fun. The queue for his consultation in Chen Village was so long that it reached Gu Yi City. Every time he went out to see patients, there were as many cars as there were carps in the square. They were all patients from other places. The original doctor, Chen Weishi, was completely reduced to a staff member who called out numbers. He was very proud, as if he was the one who was seeing patients.
Grandma Chen was enjoying her summer vacation!
One morning in July, she received a call from Chen Weigang. The leader of the county's disciplinary committee wanted to find him to understand the situation.
They wanted to go directly to Chen Weizheng's house to understand, but were rejected by Chen Weizheng. He told them to wait at the village office. This was a matter of business. Chen Weizheng didn't think it was necessary to come to his house.
Walking leisurely, they arrived at the village office. In the small reception room of the village office, there were five people, including Chen Weigang. They were probably the ones who had taken the Santana parked at the door.
They greeted Chen Weigang and chatted a bit. They didn't pay attention to the other four people. Well, they didn't know them, so there was no need to pretend to greet them.
Chen Weigang introduced them, "Weizheng, let me introduce you to a few leaders. This is Deputy Secretary Gao of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is Comrade Zhang Guoguang of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is Secretary Liu Ming of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is Xiao Zhao of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. The comrade of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection is here to accompany the leader of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. You can talk about the details. I'll excuse myself. "
According to Chen Weigang's introduction, Chen Weizheng looked at the people in front of him. He guessed that Chen Weigang was here to be a guide. After the introduction, he didn't need to do anything. He had seen Secretary Liu Ming before. When he entered the fire wine, this person came. Seeing his business-like face, he didn't pretend to be familiar with him. Xiao Zhao could be ignored directly. He was just a follower.
The Deputy Secretary Gao of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection wasn't tall. Instead, he was a bit short and fat. Fat people all had good smiling faces. Deputy Secretary Gao also had a smiling face. He made people feel that he was easy to get close to. The one called Zhang Guoguang looked like the Discipline Inspection. He had a black face. He was serious and lacked vitality.
Chen Weizheng habitually took out a pack of cigarettes. In the countryside, it was customary to smoke before talking. After thinking about it, he didn't know these people, so he didn't give them a pack. He took out one and lit it himself. Usually, Chen Weizheng didn't smoke. It wasn't that he didn't know how to smoke. It was just that he wasn't addicted.
"Haha." As expected, Deputy Secretary Gao laughed before he spoke. He said, "Comrade Xiao Chen, this time I came to Chen Village to disturb you. There are some things I want to ask you."
"Please go ahead." Since he was polite, Chen Weizheng was also polite. As the saying goes, people don't blame others for being polite.
"I heard that you built a big house before the New Year. Is that right?"
"It's not big. It's two stories small. It's smaller than the other houses in the village."
"You spent a lot of money, right?"
"It's all thanks to the help of the villagers. It didn't cost much." Chen Weizheng told the truth. It was more than 300,000 yuan for a 300 square meter building with high-end decoration and a full set of furniture. It was indeed not expensive.
"You spent about 300,000 yuan, right?" The Discipline Inspection Committee didn't spout nonsense. The figure was very accurate.
"Yes." It was obvious. There was no need to deny it.
"Where did you get so much money?" Zhang Guoguang interrupted. His words were fast and his tone was cold. This wasn't a good conversationalist!
"Hahahaha." Chen Weizheng laughed. "I earned it."
"How did you earn it?"
"It's a trade secret."
"There are no trade secrets in front of the Discipline Inspection Committee." Zhang Guoguang's tone was very serious.
Zhang Guoguang's tone made Chen Weizheng very uncomfortable. No matter how big the Discipline Inspection Committee was, it was only in charge of the party and the cadres. He was just an ordinary farmer. He ignored him. He stood up and said to Deputy Secretary Gao, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
"No hurry." Deputy Secretary Gao said, "Let's chat for a while."
Chen Weizheng sat down. Deputy Secretary Gao took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Chen Weizheng. "Xiao Chen, you're not bad. You can earn hundreds of thousands at such a young age."
"Haha, it's not much."
"Xiao Chen, you've been studying in Nancheng, right?" Deputy Secretary Gao said casually.
"Yes!"
"It must be hard to earn money while studying!" Deputy Secretary Gao was very sympathetic. He was becoming more and more like a wolf.
"Haha, it's okay. The main thing is that you have a path. "However, it was good to chat with the kind Deputy Secretary Gao. At least he wasn't aggressive.
"What path do you have? Stupid path! " Zhang Guoguang interrupted again. "Chen Weizheng, don't beat around the bush. Tell me the truth. Where did you get your money?"
Chen Weizheng was a little angry. He was always interrupted by someone who didn't know his place. He said angrily, "It's none of your business where I get my money!"
Zhang Guoguang figured that no one had ever dared to talk to him like this before. He was also angry. "It seems that you won't give up until you see the coffin. Tell me, did your aunt Chen Xiaomei give you the money?"
