Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

The wind hadn't blown in yet at 6:30 in the morning.

An Audi A6 drove off the Yellow River Bridge and turned onto the northbound national highway.

Tang Yisheng sat lazily in the back row, gazing at the receding lush greenery, and yawned widely.

He was dragged out of bed shortly after five o'clock, hurriedly packed a few changes of clothes, and set off.

Attorney Wang suddenly decided to take him back to his hometown in Binjiang County today.

The original itinerary, which was to be two days later, was abruptly changed to today. The driver's surname was Yao, and Tang Yisheng knew him.

Song Zhiming's driver.

The night before last, I had another conflict with Duan Xueyou and Zhang Kai, and Zhang Kai was detained overnight.

Yesterday, I used a letter of understanding to extort 0.8 W from my own mother, Yang Jinjuan.

Today, Song Zhiming's car was sent over...

This means they're in a hurry to leave the provincial capital.

I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my friends.

His relationship with Zhang Lei had only just begun to make a small progress.

We held hands, hugged, and I was even thinking of taking a moment to kiss him today.

It was ruined in an instant.

As the old saying goes, one may be successful in financial matters but unsuccessful in love.

Lu Xun was right.

Binjiang County is a small, sixth-tier county that has consistently ranked among the top 100 poorest counties in China.

There is no train station, no expressway, you can only travel on national highways.

The national highway doesn't provide a direct route.

After taking a section of national highway, you have to detour through towns or county seats, and then take a section of county road.

Many remote sections of the road become potholed and uneven due to years of neglect.

The Audi A6's seat comfort is also a waste.

Attorney Wang, sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, was jolted awake by the frequent, violent jolts.

He opened his bag, took out a leather file folder, and turned to hand it to Tang Yisheng, who was practically lying down in the back seat.

"Anyway, I can't sleep right now. Take a look at the situation in Binjiang County yourself, or should I explain it to you?"

Tang Yisheng knew that Attorney Wang was Wang Min's uncle.

But it's unclear whether Attorney Wang is aware of this relationship.

but--

Tang Yisheng casually took the file folder without opening it: "Uncle Wang, you should tell me about it. The ride is so bumpy, I'm afraid I'll get carsick after reading for a while, and I might throw up again..."

Speaking of vomiting.

Driver Yao instinctively stepped on the brake halfway.

"Let's talk about transferring schools first. Binjiang No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School can only let you drop one grade, which means you'll have to repeat the second year of high school. I've already discussed this with your parents, and according to their wishes, we'll arrange for you to go to No. 3 Middle School, where you'll still be a senior..."

"Wait. Third Middle School?"

Tang Yisheng interrupted Wang Guowei, the lawyer.

When did Binjiang County get a No. 3 Middle School?

"The former Binjiang University opened its first college entrance examination class last year, and it is expected to have 7-8 classes next semester, two of which will be repeat classes."

Attorney Wang informed Tang Yisheng of the information he had gathered.

Tang Yisheng was speechless upon hearing this.

The name Binjiang University sounds impressive, but it's actually just a run-down vocational school.

Furthermore, the campus is not located in the county town, but in the suburbs, next to Tang Yisheng's hometown village in Chengguan Town, which is closer than going to the city.

Third Middle School?

Do those teachers who just loaf around and treat the school as a place for their cronies even deserve to teach high school students?

"The school is a bit bad, but your parents think that since you already dropped a grade when you transferred schools before, it wouldn't be good if you dropped again because you're too old... In any case, it's a regular school where you can take the college entrance exam."

Attorney Wang did not approve of the parents' treatment of their son, but he had to strictly enforce the employer's demands, as this was in accordance with industry norms and his own principles.

They took the money.

Whoever spends the money must have their interests protected.

Lawyers make a living from this, and this is the kind of work they do.

It does not distinguish between dirty and clean, nor does it use moral standards as the criteria for judgment.

Does this school have grades 10 and 11?

Tang Yisheng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked.

"No, there are only senior year classes and repeat classes."

"Understood."

Tang Yisheng nodded.

This time he truly understood.

Around the turn of the millennium, many small counties would engage in such haphazard practices in order to improve their college entrance examination pass rates.

We mobilized and actively sought to transfer students ranked 35th or 40th and below in the class to vocational colleges.

These transferred students can still take the college entrance examination; in reality, they belong to the abandoned group.

In his previous life, Tang Yisheng had a mahjong partner who was a graduate of a vocational high school.

It is said that they have special skills courses in their senior year of high school, and the college entrance examination is like the final exam. If they continue to study for another year, they can go to the factory to fix screws as a sponsored student.

After working for a year or two, you'll get your vocational school diploma.

This is what a high school is like!

They really have a heart of stone!

"hehe."

Tang Yisheng chuckled twice.

His voice was relaxed and cheerful.

Hearing this from Attorney Wang's ears, he couldn't help but pause and glance at Tang Yisheng a few more times.

In his understanding, Tang Yisheng was not a playful or mischievous student, so why would he laugh when he heard the explanation from No. 3 Middle School?

The main reason is that Wang Guowei was trying to understand Tang Yisheng from a teenager's perspective, which is why he didn't immediately grasp Tang Yisheng's state of mind after the blow to his family.

It's really relaxing.

It was truly enjoyable.

Having achieved financial freedom and gained freedom to care for one's family, what could be more joyful than this double blessing?

The answer is definitely yes.

For example: to bring wealth.

"There's a bit of a problem with the house."

Attorney Wang pointed to the file folder and continued explaining to Tang Yisheng: "In August 1997, your father signed a lease agreement with Tang Luquan for a term of five years, and it's only been halfway through..."

Tang Luquan was Tang Luyuan's elder brother and Tang Yisheng's uncle.

Tang Yisheng also had an aunt named Tang Luyao, who married and moved to another place many years ago.

Tang Luquan, Tang Yisheng's eldest uncle, has a son and a daughter, who are Tang Yisheng's cousins.

Tang Yilin, Tang Yisheng's older cousin, is one and a half years older than him, while Tang Yilang, Tang Yisheng's older cousin, is 48 days older.

The house in the county town is not far from the No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools. My uncle probably rented it so that it would be convenient for his two children to go to school.

"My older cousin took the college entrance exam last year, and my older cousin has also finished his, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Tang Yisheng thought for a moment and then spoke to Attorney Wang.

Attorney Wang frowned, hesitating to speak: "Let's see how things go."

"Uncle Wang, is there any news I don't know?"

"Your cousin didn't do well on the college entrance exam. Even before the results came out, he was already using his connections to arrange for him to repeat a year at the No. 2 High School."

That's quite unusual.

My cousin, Tang Yilang, was studying at No. 1 Middle School, but he plans to repeat a year at No. 2 Middle School.

The thought of possibly having to live under the same roof as someone else made Tang Yisheng frown.

If even one's own father isn't close, how much less so would one's snobbish uncle's family?

Before SARS, Tang Yisheng's uncle's family had already become wealthy.

The construction of the expressway in the new city industrial park will include Tangjia Village in the demolition area.

Thinking of their arrogant way of looking down on people in his previous life, Tang Yisheng secretly decided that he would never give in.

My cousin wants to repeat a year of high school, either as a day student or as a boarding student.

Speaking from the perspective of my uncle, aunt, and cousin: Since they look down on ordinary, mediocre people like us, they shouldn't even think about getting involved with us from now on.

bother!
