Chapter 787 Grand Slam

By the end of May in 1976, Zheng Juan successfully gave birth to a pair of twin boys again. If you ask Zheng Juan why it was so easy for her to give birth to twins, it was because Suning used the high-tech multiple births medicine provided by the "system". Although multiple births are a low-probability event, it is not an absolute thing. Sometimes artificial means can be used to adjust it.

Surprised, Suning immediately named his two sons Zhou Zhi and Zhou Xin. This way, he now had five children. Naturally, he told Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi the good news as soon as possible. In fact, Suning and Zheng Juan had made new contributions to the Zhou family. Next, Suning only needed to wait for the times to open up, and then earn a big career for his children.

At the end of 1977, a piece of good news that shook China came out. That was that the country had finally resumed the college entrance examination after a ten-year suspension. Suning calmly asked for three days of leave from the guesthouse of his unit, and then walked into the college entrance examination room alone. At the same time, Zhou Bingyi, Hao Dongmei, and Zhou Rong who was far away in Guizhou all walked into the examination rooms in their respective places.

In the original drama, Hao Dongmei was too busy with her work. After all, she was the women's director of their village collective. Therefore, there was only one month from the announcement of the college entrance examination to the formal college entrance examination. Therefore, Hao Dongmei had no time to review, which naturally led to her failure in the college entrance examination and only being admitted to Jichun Medical College.

However, this time, because of the mysterious dream, Hao Dongmei gained some incomplete memories. At the same time, Hao Dongmei started studying hard as early as 1971. This time, she naturally walked into the examination room with full expectations and calmness. Therefore, six years of preparation will definitely allow her to get a good score. At the same time, it is also a dimensionality reduction attack on other candidates.

Because Suning chose science and engineering subjects this time, the first time the college entrance examination was resumed, it only tested politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry. This time, Suning wanted to prove himself through this exam, so Suning was not prepared to hide his strength anymore, and gave 100% of his strength in this exam.

After the last exam, Suning returned to his job again, but his colleagues did not notice anything. They thought that Suning just took a few days off for something. They never dreamed that Suning used these three days to take an exam that would change his destiny.

"Bingkun, a guest from Shandong has come to our guesthouse today. He will be accompanied by a senior leader from Jiang Liao in person, so you have to prepare a Shandong cuisine banquet." Director Lin, who was still the person in charge of the guesthouse, went straight to the kitchen and explained today's important reception to Suning in front of him.

"No problem! But who is our big leader?" Suning nodded with a nonchalant smile, then couldn't help but look at Director Lin curiously and asked.

"My last name is Hao."

"Huh? I understand! I promise to complete the task successfully." Su Ning guessed that the other party was Hao Dongmei's father, and then he patted his chest and made the promise without asking any more questions.

"Well, Bingkun, you took three days off this time. Have you finished your housework?" Director Lin certainly believed in Suning's cooking skills, and then looked at Suning with concern and asked.

"It's done! It's just a small matter." Suning did not choose to get out of his own affairs. After all, it would be meaningless to say anything until the dust settled.

"Well, if you need anything in the future, you must just ask." Director Lin said to Su Ning in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Thank you, director."

This time, he unexpectedly ended up working in Qinxing again, which was something Suning never dreamed of. Although this job brought him a lot of conveniences in the past few years and allowed him to safely get through the difficult years, Suning still didn't like being a cook who had to spend all day at the stove.

Anyway, his job is about to be completed, whether he likes it or not is not important anymore, so he started to prepare the banquet assigned by the director. Thinking that Hao Dongmei's father can eat the dishes he made today, Suning still felt it was quite interesting.

After personally preparing the banquet, Suning didn't ask about the details. Soon, it was time to get off work. Director Lin walked into the kitchen with a smile on his face. He looked at Suning and praised him, saying, "Bingkun, you have made a great contribution to our guesthouse today. Leader Hao and his guests are very satisfied. They also said that your cooking skills are as superb as those of authentic Shandong cuisine masters, and even far surpass most of them."

"Haha, as long as the leaders like it."

"Bingkun, do a good job! I'm almost at retirement age. Before I leave the unit's guesthouse, I can still help you get promoted to another level." Looking at the young and capable Su Ning in front of him, Director Lin patted Su Ning's shoulder and encouraged him earnestly.

"Thank you, Director! But I'm not too keen on the promotion, and I don't want to cause you trouble because of my affairs." After all, Su Ning was not interested in this, so he simply shook his head and refused.

"Bingkun, you are good in every way, except that your temperament is like an eighty or ninety-year-old man, without any youthful vigor." Looking at Su Ningzhi's unconcerned behavior, Director Lin shook his head with a helpless look.

"Haha, I'll pay attention next time."

Because he was very confident this time, Suning directly applied for the International Economics and Trade major at Tsinghua University. Soon, Suning's results came out in early 1977 and 1978, and were immediately published in major domestic mainstream media. It was just because Suning achieved a grand slam this time. It was said that the handwriting used by Suning was like a beautiful regular script print, which made many examiners think that this was a work of art with unique cultural connotations. Then, the admission letter from Tsinghua University was mailed to Suning as soon as possible.

Zhou Bingyi, who had been transferred to a ministry in Beijing with his leader at this time, naturally saw the reports about Suning first, especially the report on Suning's college entrance examination essay published in Renren Daily. Looking at the essay in the newspaper and the handwriting on the letter from home, Zhou Bingyi's inner shock was beyond words.

Zhou Bingyi put down the newspaper and immediately called his brother who was far away in Jichun. The first thing he asked Su Ning when the call was connected was, "Bingkun, is this true?"

"What?" Suning was confused by Zhou Bingyi's incoherent words on the phone.

"Bingkun, I mean, did you really get a perfect score of 400?" Zhou Bingyi asked again and got straight to the point.

"Yes! I have received the admission letter for International Economics and Trade from Tsinghua University." Su Ning confirmed proudly. One can imagine Zhou Bingyi's shock at this moment.

"Bingkun, how did you do it?" Zhou Bingyi immediately asked, expressing his surprise.

"Brother, you must understand one thing. While you are constantly making progress, others are also running forward desperately." At this time, Suning repeated this pretentious sentence again, and felt that this sentence was quite satisfying.

"But I still find it unbelievable." "Brother, actually I'm not planning to report. I just want to use the college entrance examination to prove my ability to our dad." Since Zhou Bingyi took the initiative to come to the door, Suning was ready to start his own "forcing the palace" plan.

"Bingkun, are you crazy?" Zhou Bingyi's eyes widened in shock. Unfortunately, Su Ning couldn't see his appearance at all. Zhou Bingyi quickly thought of a possibility, "Oh? You wouldn't be reluctant to give up your current salary of 71 yuan a month, would you?"

"No! Brother, I heard that you and Zhou Rong were both admitted to Peking University. If I also go to Beijing to go to university, what will happen to the five children and our mother at home? It is impossible to do it relying on Zheng Juan alone." At this time, Su Ning immediately expressed his concerns, and this problem was indeed a big trouble.

"Bingkun, if our dad chooses to retire and return to Jichun, will you stop fooling around and go to college?" Sure enough, Zhou Bingyi understood what Su Ning meant, so he took the initiative to ask Su Ning on the phone.

"Yes! But with my father's stubborn personality, this is absolutely impossible."

"Bingkun, I will go to Chongqing in person now and will definitely persuade our father to choose to retire and return to Jichun." Zhou Bingyi has never been vague on issues of right and wrong, and immediately decided to go to Chongqing in person to persuade Zhou Zhigang to return.

"Okay! I'll be waiting for your good news at home."

Zhou Bingyi hung up the phone helplessly, and once again realized that Suning had become much more unfamiliar. He also knew that Suning was forcing the stubborn Zhou Zhigang to go home. However, Zhou Bingyi also agreed with Suning's approach in his heart. He felt that it was not good for Zhou Zhigang to work alone in the mountains of Chongqing. He couldn't just watch Li Suhua crying every day at home and do nothing.

Zhou Bingyi first asked his leader for a few days' leave, and then bought a fastest train ticket to Chongqing. Of course, he also sent a telegram to Zhou Zhigang in Chongqing, telling him that he would be waiting at a guesthouse in Chongqing. Finally, Zhou Bingyi boarded the express train heading southwest.

Looking at the scenery outside the train window, Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but sigh. Now the Zhou family has two college students from Peking University and one from Tsinghua University. He just doesn't know how Hao Dongmei will perform in this college entrance examination. After all, Suning's incident brought him a huge shock, and he didn't think of calling Yao Lisheng to ask about Hao Dongmei.

When Zhou Zhigang received the telegram from Zhou Bingyi in Beijing, he immediately panicked, thinking that something had happened at home. He quickly asked his leader for leave to go to the meeting place. The leader of the "Third Front" immediately and considerately found a GAZ-69 for Zhou Zhigang and asked the driver to quickly take Zhou Zhigang to a guesthouse in Chongqing.

"Bingyi, you came to Chongqing to see me now. Did something happen at home?" After taking a big sip of the water handed to him by Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Zhigang immediately looked at Zhou Bingyi in front of him and asked.

"No! Mom and Zhou Ren are all doing well. It's just that Zhou Rong and I were admitted to Peking University." Zhou Bingyi quickly looked at Zhou Zhigang with a smile and explained.

"Oh? That's great! Our Zhou family has two college students at once. This is really an honor for the family!" As soon as Zhou Bingyi finished speaking, Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Dad, it's not two, it's three college students." Realizing that his father was still accustomed to ignoring Suning, Zhou Bingyi explained with a bit of a laugh.
"What? Three? Who is that one?" Zhou Zhigang was so stunned that he didn't react for a moment. He really couldn't think of who the other college student could be. He thought Zhou Bingyi had included Hao Dongmei as well.

"Dad, you must not have read the newspaper recently?" Zhou Bingyi immediately guessed the specific reason at this time, and then looked at Zhou Zhigang and asked with some laughter.

"Newspaper? No! We are currently working on a difficult problem. I live and eat at the construction site. I fall asleep as soon as I get home. How can I have time to read a newspaper?" Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Bingyi at a loss, then shook his head and explained.

"Dad, why don't you take a look at this Renren Daily first." Zhou Bingyi immediately took out the newspaper prepared on the side and handed it to his father who knew nothing about it.

"Bingkun? Bingkun can also get into university?" Looking at the essay published in the newspaper, Zhou Zhigang immediately recognized the handwriting on it.

"Dad, Bingkun has never stopped studying on his own. He even got a perfect score on the test this time. He has also received an admission letter from Tsinghua University majoring in International Economics and Trade."

"Major in International Economics and Trade?" Zhou Zhigang looked up at Zhou Bingyi in surprise and joy and asked.

"Dad, this is a very cutting-edge and good major. Our country is in great need of such talents right now."

"Bingyi, are you really not kidding me? How could Bingkun, with his mediocre skills, be admitted to Tsinghua University?" Although he knew that his eldest son had always been steady and composed, he still looked at Zhou Bingyi with an expression of disbelief.

"Dad, it's true! Didn't you notice that the essay published in the Renren Daily and the letter we received from home were written by the same person?" Of course, I understood why Zhou Zhigang was so shocked. In fact, he himself was puzzled, but this was an indisputable fact. "I used to think Bingkun had someone else write the letter for him. I really didn't expect it to be written by him himself. He has been studying hard on his own since 1969."

"That's great! Then there will be three college students in our family? And they will all be from the best Tsinghua University and Peking University?" After getting confirmation from Zhou Bingyi again, Zhou Zhigang fell into an excitement that he could hardly control.

"Yes! But Bingkun doesn't want to enroll at Tsinghua University. He doesn't seem to be very interested in going to university." Zhou Bingyi certainly understood Zhou Zhigang's joy at this moment, and then he could only look at Zhou Zhigang with a wry smile and explained.
"Why? Is he mentally ill?" Zhou Zhigang felt furious again at this time, realizing that his youngest son just liked to make trouble.

"Dad, he's worried about my mom and the five children at home. You know, it's impossible for Zheng Juan to take care of them all by herself."

"I"

"Dad, Bingkun only made this one request. You can enroll at Tsinghua University, but you must retire and return to Jichun to work. I've already found a job for you at Jiangliao Third Construction. With you helping out at home, my mom and Zheng Juan won't have to work too hard."
