Chapter 35 The prodigal son returns?

The excited junior high school boy went downstairs and felt that it was still early, so he walked around the playground as usual. He saw Zhou Shuang playing basketball with a wild team.

There are not many other entertainment activities in the school, and the existing ones are too healthy. Basketball is one of the most interesting and competitive activities, and is deeply loved by the boys in Class 13.

"Qiao Yu, do you want a shot?" Zhou Shuang also saw Qiao Yu and had the ball in his hand, so he just shouted.

Qiao Yu shook his head decisively: "No, let's go home."

Although the rain had stopped, the basketball court was still a little wet, and the clothes of both teams were inevitably covered with mud.

If you just got off the bed, it doesn't matter if you can play longer. But it's time to go home for dinner soon, and it's not worth it to play a few games and get your clothes dirty.

"Then you wait a minute, I'll go home too, let's go together." As he said that, Zhou Shuang threw the basketball in his hand, said something to his partner who was playing basketball, picked up the coat that was casually hanging on the basketball hoop, and walked to Qiao Yu.

When Zhou Shuang walked up to him, Qiao Yu casually complained, "Why are you coming with me? I've been quitting Internet cafes recently."

"I don't want to go to the Internet cafe recently." Zhou Shuang answered casually, and then asked seriously: "Qiao Yu, I suddenly don't want to go to vocational high school or that kind of vocational school. Do you think I still have a chance to go to a regular high school?"

Qiao Yu looked sideways at the classmate next to him in surprise, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How many points did you get in the last mock exam?"

"386, um... I seem to have copied a few of your multiple-choice questions." Zhou Shuang said honestly.

Qiao Yu frowned and asked, "Have the results of biology and physical education been included?"

Zhou Shuang nodded: "Yes!"

Qiao Yu recalled carefully and said, "I checked last year's score line a few days ago. I remember that the lowest score line for Xingcheng's private high school was 457. However, the tuition for such a high school is said to be quite expensive, at least tens of thousands a year."

"Tuition fees don't matter."

Zhou Shuang sighed in response, and then explained: "I mentioned this to my parents last night, and they didn't worry about the extra money. They were very happy. Especially my dad, he said that as long as I am really willing to study hard and my scores are up to standard, he is willing to pay me any amount of money.

By the way, they also plan to spend a lot of money to hire a tutor for me to teach me at home during this period. But I don’t think it’s necessary, I want to learn by myself.”

"Are you sure you don't plan to learn how to operate an excavator?" Qiao Yu asked in confusion.

Zhou Shuang's sudden behavior made him feel a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, if Ranger hadn't insisted that he had a talent in mathematics that was good enough to win a bonus, he wouldn't have wanted to continue studying.

"After thinking about it carefully, I feel that there is really no point in doing this job in the future. I also want to be like you and be respected by others wherever I go." Zhou Shuang said seriously.

Qiao Yu was stunned and asked, "What gave you this illusion?"

"Illusion? Didn't you notice the way the teacher is looking at you? There are more than 30 people in the class, but you are the only one in the teacher's eyes. He is always looking at you. The teacher is lecturing her now, and every sentence he says is about you. Damn it, when I went to squat during the break, I heard those fast-track students talking about you!"

Zhou Shuang said slightly excitedly.

It can be seen that Qiao Yu's sudden outburst did cause great trouble to his deskmate.

We agreed to spend time together, but as time went by, the desk mate we usually played with suddenly became the top student in the grade. It was really a very subversive thing.

Qiao Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The long speech he had made with Xia Keke last night could not be said at this moment. For people with a good foundation and learning ability, the influence of the teacher's level and learning environment can be ignored, but for a guy like Zhou Shuang whose grades are really terrible, the impact is still huge.

The sayings that 5+3 has a future and that the channel for upgrading from junior college to university still exists are basically nonsense.

It takes great perseverance to keep studying when all the classmates around are just messing around. Zhou Shuang is obviously not the kind of person with great perseverance. Qiao Yu even suspected that this guy just had a sudden impulse.

"Then you should study hard in the remaining month and make progress every day. Chinese, English, and Chemistry are relatively simple subjects, so you only need to memorize them. If you really want to go to high school, you must memorize everything you need to memorize in the last month."

Qiao Yu finally gave some advice.

"What about mathematics and physics?" Zhou Shuang asked humbly.

"For math, don't practice those difficult questions. Memorize all the theorems and only practice the basic questions in the textbook. The same goes for physics. Spend two hours a day on the basic questions in the textbook and make sure you get all the homework questions in the textbook right.

As for Taoism and History, don't worry about them for now. They are open-book exams. In the last two days, you can familiarize yourself with the textbooks and look at the question patterns and correct answers from previous years. That's all you can do now."

Based on Zhou Shuang's current situation, Qiao Yu gave some suggestions.

There is no way. My foundation is too poor. I want to improve my score quickly within a month. I have to give up on medium-level questions and difficult questions. Fortunately, the middle school entrance examination is not too difficult now. If I change to the college entrance examination, it is almost impossible to improve hundreds of points in a month.

"Okay, I will do as you say tonight and start with memorizing English words." Zhou Shuang vowed.

"If you really go to high school, you will have to live a hard life for those three years. Otherwise, there is no point in going to high school if you can't get into college." Qiao Yu reminded him.

"Here's what I think. There's still about a month until the high school entrance exam. If I can really get into high school, it means I still have some learning ability. Going to high school is equivalent to buying myself an extra three years. If I work hard this month and still can't get in, then forget it."

Zhou Shuang said seriously.

"Then try your best. Start memorizing words today. After the test tomorrow, I'll give you my chemistry book for free. I've marked all the key points you need to memorize. You can memorize them later and get a high score."

Qiao Yu decided to help his good brother.

"What about your other books?"

"The chemistry book is because I read it recently. The other books are blank just like yours. Why do you want them?"

"Then why are your grades in other subjects so good?"

"Because it's easy. When you're bored in class, you can just look at the textbook and learn it. Why do you need to take notes?"

After saying that, Qiao Yu glanced at the school gate and the alley not far away, and suddenly asked, "Seriously, why do you want to go to high school? Is it really because I've been in the spotlight recently?"

Zhou Shuang answered sincerely: "Most of it is because of you. Didn't you let me watch Shi Xiaoke's short video that day? Later, I searched for some videos of top students and some college life, and also found many videos of people randomly interviewing at the school gate. Hey, it turns out that many primary school students in Beijing, Linhai and other places can speak fluent English.

Thinking about how I can’t even write a good Chinese composition, I really feel like a loser! Anyway, I suddenly don’t want to drive an excavator in the future. It’s not cool at all, really!”

"Oh, then I wish you success!" Qiao Yu, who had already reached the entrance of the alley, raised his hand and waved casually, then turned and left.

What a sin...
