After taking the advice, I became a top student.

Tongzhou County, Xiaomei Town

A BMW X5 slowly drove into the town's only street and finally stopped in front of a small shop without a sign.

Chen Wanjun, who was arranging goods in front of the shop, cast a curious glance. This kind of car was considered a top-of-the-line luxury car in Xiaomei Town, and it was only seen during the Chinese New Year.

I wonder who has returned home in glory again.

At that moment, the car window rolled down, and a vaguely familiar face appeared before Chen Wanjun.

"Wan Jun, give me two bundles of paper and two pairs of candles..."

Upon hearing the voice, a name suddenly popped into Chen Wanjun's mind, "Shu Hui, it's you!"

"have not seen you for a long time."

This person was his junior high school deskmate, and also his playmate who shared the same pants with him, playing in the mud in the fields, catching crabs and loaches.

After graduating from junior high school, Chen Wanjun dropped out of school to work and support his family, while the other party went to the provincial capital to study high school. After that, he never heard from the other party again. After so many years, this seems to be the first time he has come back.

"I hadn't made a name for myself in the past few years, so I was too embarrassed to come back. Things have only recently started to get better, and since the little guy did quite well on his midterms, I brought him back to see his grandparents."

After Shu Hui pulled over, he took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, handed one to Chen Wanjun, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, quickly call him Uncle Chen."

Chen Wanjun waved his hand, "I don't smoke."

"It's good that you're getting better!"

Chen Wanjun was genuinely happy for his childhood friend's success, and then turned to prepare goods for Shu Hui.

"Let's have dinner together at Xinglin Restaurant tonight. Brother Jun, you must do me the honor. I'll pick you up then."

Shu Hui paid the money, put the items in the trunk, and warmly invited them over.

"I'll skip the meal..."

Chen Wanjun waved his hand repeatedly, but Shu Hui had already gotten into the car and said loudly, "I'll pick you up later."

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and sped away.

Who is it?

Tao Tao walked out of the convenience store, watched the BMW X5 drive away, and asked curiously.

"Shu Hui".

"You forgot, Shu Hui, when he went fishing with me, he fell into the water and I pulled him out with a bamboo pole. Then he got a good beating from his mother when he got home."

This story was widely circulated in the town back then, and for a long time it was the topic of conversation among everyone in Xiaomei Town.

Chen Wanjun sighed and said, "Going to the provincial capital really makes a difference."

"Not everyone who went to the provincial capital made a fortune."

Tao Tao said meaningfully.

At six o'clock in the evening, the familiar BMW X5 was parked in front of the convenience store again.

Unable to refuse, Chen Wanjun had no choice but to close the shop early and take a car to Xinglin Restaurant.

Sitting on the soft cushion, Chen Wanjun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable, but he dared not move, worried that he might damage the cushion and he couldn't afford to pay for it.

Xinglin Restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant in Xiaomei Town. Regardless of the taste, in terms of appearance and decoration, no one in Xiaomei Town can match it.

Inside the private room, there were only Shu Hui's family and Chen Wanjun and his wife. Shu Hui's parents had passed away, and he had had a major conflict with his uncles and aunts a few years ago, so they didn't keep in touch much. In Xiaomei Town, Chen Wanjun was the only person he was really close to.

After three rounds of drinks and three courses of food,

Shu Hui kept recalling the past.

After Chen Wanjun took a few sips of wine, the slight awkwardness between the two gradually disappeared, as if they had returned to the days when they could talk about anything.

"Brother Jun, I heard your son went to study in the provincial capital too?"

After returning home for a day, Shu Hui heard some things about the town. "If you need anything, just give me a call. I'll definitely help without hesitation."

"Then I'll thank you on Xiao Mo's behalf."

Chen Wanjun raised his glass, but he didn't take it too seriously. Although he had spent his whole life in Xiaomei Town, he was almost forty years old and naturally understood that some things were best left unsaid.

"Which school is he in? What grade is he in this year?" Shu Hui pressed.

"Rongcheng No.1 High School, Grade 11"

"Rongcheng No.1 High School?"

Shu Hui laughed heartily, "Isn't this a coincidence? Xiao Yuan is also at No. 1 High School, and he's a freshman this year. Maybe the two of them are even classmates."

"Your son's name is Chen Mo, right?"

Shu Hui glanced at the boy beside her who had been quietly playing on his phone, and asked, "Do you know Chen Mo at school?"

Shu Yuan shook his head.

"How are the little one's grades?"

Shu Hui suddenly became very talkative. He never expected that he and Chen Wanjun were classmates, and that his son and Chen Wanjun's son were also classmates, which gave him a mysterious sense of fate.

Chen Wanjun shook his head, "I haven't called to ask yet, I'm afraid of disturbing his studies, I'm going to ask tonight."

"There's no need to ask. The internet is so advanced now, you can just go to the school's official website to check your grades."

Shu Hui waved his hand and said to Shu Yuan, "Come on, help Uncle Chen check this out."

Shu Yuan was somewhat reluctant, but he still logged onto the official website of Rongcheng No.1 High School, skillfully found the report card, searched for it, and located it at the end of the report card list.

"Um?"

Shu Yuan was initially somewhat dismissive of this ranking, but after seeing the specific results, he felt a bit strange. It was the first time he had ever seen a report card with such a clear gap between the rich and poor.

Especially in math, this guy actually got a perfect score.

As a member of the math competition team, he lost three points on the last big question because he couldn't calculate the final result.

The other person got a perfect score, they're really something!

Why don't people like that join math competition teams?

"Did you find it? Let me see."

Shu Hui took the phone from Shu Yuan's hand, glanced at it, and suddenly fell silent.

He suddenly realized a serious problem.

Helping someone check their grades is a good thing, but if the grades aren't very good, it's not so great.

Sure enough, drinking leads to trouble!

It's not his fault. In his opinion, Chen Wanjun's grades were better than his back then. He only didn't go to high school because his family was poor. He figured Chen Wanjun's son shouldn't be too bad.

Besides, the other students have all gone to high school in the provincial capital, so those with poor grades probably can't go either.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shu Hui's expression, Chen Wanjun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling, and even the effects of the alcohol dissipated a lot.

"It's nothing, we just finished the exam, and the results haven't been released yet."

Shu Hui accidentally closed his phone's browser.

Shu Yuan shook his head. "Dad, he's actually quite good. The math questions on the midterm exam were very difficult, and it's not easy for him to get a perfect score. He's just a little unbalanced in his subjects."

amount……

Shu Hui was momentarily embarrassed when his son exposed his shortcomings.

In the end, he had no choice but to open the browser again and show the report card to Chen Wanjun.

Grade 873, total score 361.

boom!

Chen Wanjun felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Tao Tao's heart tightened as well.

After this incident, Chen Wanjun lost his appetite and hurriedly said goodbye to Shu Hui before leaving.

"You're good at studying, but you still need to learn how to behave properly. You're making Uncle Chen feel really awkward."

As soon as Chen Wanjun left, Shu Hui patted Shu Yuan's head and scolded him.

"Isn't this the topic you brought up?"

Shu Yuan didn't give his father any face, "Mom told you to drink less, but you wouldn't listen, and now you're blaming me?"

"I……"

Shu Hui was speechless with anger. "I was just happy to see an old friend. I don't usually drink much."

"I wasn't wrong, Uncle Chen's son is actually very capable."

Seeing that his father had given in, Shu Yuan didn't press the matter further, but simply reiterated his point.

Shu Hui shook his head and patted Shu Yuan's head lightly. "What do you know? What's the use of getting a perfect score in math? The college entrance exam isn't just about math."
