There was still some time before the results of the college entrance examination came out, and Zuo Rong started to work as a tutor. They were all children of the first and second grades of their uncles and aunts, and it was not difficult to teach them.

Moreover, he has his own unique learning method. According to this explanation, the younger brothers and sisters can listen and learn faster.

The children cooperated with his work very much, and all of them wanted to get a taste of being a top student, hugging Buddha's feet before the final exam to get a good grade.

There were also some unfamiliar school girls who wanted to make an appointment for summer tutoring, but Zuo Rong refused.

Although he wants to make money, enriching himself is the most important thing. Zuo Le has long said: "My study is open to you, you can take whatever you like."

He believed and even superstitiously believed in Zuo Le's taste. Even the "Efficient Pig Raising and Pig Disease Prevention" on her bookshelf, Zuo Rong thought it was very advanced.When she reads this kind of book, it must mean that raising pigs has a bright future.

He took many books from Zuo Lejia, hoping to make up for the cultural gap in the exam-oriented education stage.

After ten days like this, the results of the college entrance examination came out, and he was called back to school by the teacher that afternoon.As soon as he entered the office, he found that the top ten of the usual grades were basically there, and the school uniformly checked their grades for them.There were even reporters waiting outside, wanting to witness this moment for the first time.

In fact, the school had already organized a score assessment before this, and Zuo Rong knew it well, so he wasn't nervous, but he couldn't bear to see the classmates and teachers next to him seem to be very nervous.

So he comforted the school committee closest to him, "It's okay, I'm actually very nervous too, if I don't pass the exam, I'll raise pigs, and I'll definitely make a lot of money in the future."

The school committee turned his head in disbelief, looking at this big guy who had always been the first in the exam, and who had dropped No.

He felt that he might be under too much mental pressure and had hallucinations, so he pinched his thigh severely.Tsk, it hurts!

This made Zuo Rong feel terrified and frightening. The child was so nervous that he started to torture himself, which was really bad.

When the time came, the head teacher first checked Zuo Rong's grades. He carefully compared the input ID number. When the trembling finger pressed the inquiry button reverently, everyone's breath was stagnant.

The page stuck for a few seconds and then jumped out, 712 points!

Rao is a teacher who has taught graduating classes for many years. When he saw this result, he almost pouted. He held his chest and panted heavily and said, "My God, this is so good! I haven't seen such a score in years. Divided, Zuo Rong, how the hell did you pass the test?"

Zuo Rong was also a little surprised, this was more than ten points higher than he expected, it seems that the incense burnt by grandma had worked.

His first reaction was to take out his mobile phone and send a message to Zuo Le, "Sister, the score is out, 712 points."

Zuo Le over there must have been watching, and immediately replied a message, "See you in Beijing."

Three words are enough to express everything.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time were finally let in, and they rushed up to surround Zuo Rong, scrambling to take pictures and ask questions.He thought, maybe tonight, grandma will be able to see his name on the official account.

He answered a few questions politely and distantly. The reporters saw that they couldn't ask anything, so they went to interview other students as a routine.Although there is no dark horse that can surpass Zuo Rong, the results of these top students are also very impressive.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and go home, he suddenly found that the school committee, who was so nervous just now, was sitting in a corner with a depressed face, and it seemed that his grades were probably not satisfactory.

Zuo Rong hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to comfort him, but before he could speak, the school committee said, "Zuo Rong, I passed the 658 exam, what should I do, I can't go to T University..."

really.

He knew that T University had always been the dream of the school committee.Although every student in such a top school yearns for it, there are not many people like the school committee who forget to eat and sleep.

Zuo Rong also felt sorry for him, but didn't know how to comfort him, so he reached out and touched the top of his head.

The school committee may have really been hit too hard and didn't respond to such an abnormal behavior, and continued to complain: "Boss, you passed the 712 exam, it's great, you don't have to raise pigs. Hey, otherwise I will go Let’s raise pigs, do you have any connections?”

Just as Zuo Rong was about to say that he was joking, the phone rang. It was from his father, so he quickly picked it up.

"Rongrong, people from the admissions teams of University P and University T have come to our house, and University Z and University F have just called me, do you want to come back and meet them?"

I didn't expect them to move so fast, they probably already squatted near their home.

"Dad, let them all go back. I've already decided which school to apply for. Now, I'll go to my aunt's house to avoid the limelight."

"Hey, okay! I knew you kid had an idea, hang up!"

In fact, Zuo Rong’s dream in the first year of high school was also T major, but then she had a chance to talk to Zuo Le, she said: “I prefer P major, at least in terms of feeling, comprehensive schools are always better than polytechnic schools.” Isn’t it romantic? It’s a pity that I didn’t pass the exam.

Do you remember our distant cousin Zuo Yi? Undergraduate at P University, and then went to S University in the United States for combined master and doctoral studies. He was admitted to two of my favorite schools at home and abroad, tsk tsk tsk. "

Since then, his goal has become P University, and he has no hesitation, just because Zuo Le likes it.

Although rankings are not allowed now, the gossip is always well-informed. Zuo Rong learned that night that if nothing else happened, he should be the first in the city and the second in the province, one point lower than the champion.

This is also good, if you are not the champion, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary interruptions.

Although P University and T University didn't see him, they left a message: as long as you apply for this school, you can choose any major at will.

Zuo Rong told his family that he wanted to go to P University. Everyone had no objection, and everyone took it for granted that he would definitely go to the finance major with the highest score.

But in fact, he had already made his own decision.

As soon as the results of the college entrance examination came out, there were no mathematicians who wanted to buy Zuo Rong's notebooks. Many parents didn't know where to get them, so they contacted his parents to learn from him.

Fortunately, he had already made preparations before, and he immediately notified the printing factory that work could start, and he would print [-] sets first.

When Zuo Rong’s teacher learned that he had the energy to write three reference books while taking the city’s top scorer exam, he immediately felt ashamed and admired his business acumen, so he spared no effort to recommend his precious student’s winning magic weapon to other teachers.

Thousands of sets were quickly ordered. Some students really wanted to know how Xueba learns, and some primary school girls simply because Zuo Rong said that they would send books to the school and deliver them one-on-one.

The printing factory printed another thousand sets, and those who hadn't bought them before continued to snap up them enthusiastically. There were even students from other schools who wanted to increase the price, but they were all rejected.

His class teacher said: "How can the treasures cultivated by our own school be desecrated by others?" So he gave up.

On the day of voluntary application, Zuo Rong did not seek anyone's opinion, not even Zuo Le, but according to his own ideas, he filled in the major he had decided on in his first choice.

In fact, he was a little afraid to tell Zuo Le, because he knew she would be angry.This was probably the first time he went against Zuo Le's wishes, but he didn't regret it.

In fact, Zuo Le didn't ask much, probably because he was certain that he would report to the Finance Department.

The days were so steady and steady, until the end of July, the day when the admission notice was received.Zuo Le sent a message to ask him to take a photo, saying that he wanted to see the admission letter of P University.

Zuo Rong knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he just took a picture and sent it.

One minute later, Zuo Le called.

Zuo Le generally doesn't like to make phone calls. If she does make a call, it's either because of something urgent, or she's really angry, and it's not good for her to use her strengths by sending cursing messages.

Seeing the caller ID, Zuo Rong shivered in fright. It really shouldn't be for a young man to be frightened like this by his sister, but he couldn't control it.

He took a deep breath and picked up the phone tremblingly, "Sister, listen to me..."

"What the fuck! You have the nerve to say it! What do you mean? Please explain to me, why is it psychology? Why don't you report finance?

Put brine in your brain and turn your brain into tofu, right?Even if you go to learn how to raise pigs, why do you want to study psychology!Are you crazy too?

You, what on earth are you thinking..."

Zuo Le suddenly lost his momentum while cursing and cursing, and finally took on a tearful tone.

Zuo Rong panicked at once, "Sister, I was wrong for not discussing with you, but I am not impulsive. You know my mother's situation. She seems to be very good now, but her depression will attack from time to time. , did not fully recover at all.

I know intellectually that this is a disease that can be treated with modern medical technology.But emotionally, I have never been able to accept why my mother suddenly became a stranger and ignored me.

I really hope to understand her and understand depression. I don't want even her own son to see her through colored glasses. Such a life is too miserable.

Sister, are you listening to me? "

Zuo Le let out a long sigh, "It's because I know too well that I don't want you to learn this. I'm afraid that you will fall into it yourself. I can't accept that one day you will..." She didn't continue.

Zuo Rong knew what she was worried about. His mother, Zhou Jing, suffered from depression the year she went bankrupt at home. She has been controlled by drugs for the past few years, but her condition still comes and goes.

When it was the worst, someone at home had to keep her under watch to prevent accidents, but there were always times when there was a lot of business and there was no one at home. In this case, he could only watch the home monitor while attending classes.

It can be said that Zuo Rong saved his mother's life four times, taking sleeping pills once, cutting her wrists once, turning on the gas once, taking cephalosporin and drinking liquor once, and he found out in time each time and called an ambulance.

His mother gave him one life, and he paid back four, that's enough, he was really tired and had enough.

When others come home from school, they only need to eat and sleep, and when they don’t have to worry about anything except studying, he has to pay attention to his mother at all times, for fear that if he doesn’t pay attention, he will lose his mother.

While the father had to make money to support the family, he also had to worry about his wife, so he couldn't spare Zuo Rong any extra energy.No matter how sensible he is, for a child, it is difficult for a child to encounter such a situation without resentment.

But it is more distressing. No one wants to see their loved ones suffer such pain.

"Sister, in fact, I applied for the School of Psychological Cognition and Science, which is biased towards life sciences. If I choose a direction in the future, I want to choose organizational psychology, and then minor in finance or business administration. I can still find a good job and make a lot of money. To support you is really not to be a psychiatrist."

He tried to get his sister to accept it in this way.

"You'd better be!" Zuo Le hung up the phone after saying this.

Zuo Rong understood that this meant she had compromised.

Indeed, there is no other way, so what if there is no compromise?After the notices have arrived, I can no longer change my major, and I can't really go to raise pigs.

She just needs time to digest.

For the parents, he explained that "psychological cognition and science can be used for management or artificial intelligence in the future, which has great development prospects."

Except for Zuo Le, the other elders are not so civilized after all, and they don't quite understand the relationship between depression and psychological cognition. Without thinking too much, they think Zuo Rong is a kid with ideas.

But his mother realized the problem immediately. She didn't say much, but she understood it in her heart.She has owed her children too much these years, and she also hopes that she can get better, and doesn't want to see her children pay so much for herself.

That night, Zhou Jing came to Zuo Rong's room and handed him a black satin box, which seemed to be mostly jewelry.

He didn't know why his mother suddenly gave him this, so he took it and opened the box, and was shocked after a glance.

Inside is a necklace, even when I was a child, I was amazed when I saw my mother wear so many precious jewels.

In the middle is a piece of glass jadeite with a good water head, surrounded by white diamonds that are not small in size.The emerald jade is like a pool of gentle and transparent water, shining brightly by the diamond's cut surface.

Not new, but gorgeous, the weight of raw materials and workmanship can reflect the heart of the giver.

Zhou Jing said softly: "This piece of emerald is the ancestral treasure of your old Zuo family. Your grandma gave it to me when I married your father. The diamond was added by myself later. Now I will pass it on to you. Give it to your daughter-in-law, let her wear it to see me, if it is not beautiful enough, I will not open the door."

Zuo Rong looked at the necklace, then looked up at his mother, her eyes were filled with warm love.

That's right, this is my mother, gentle and kind, with light in her eyes.

He took the necklace and chatted with his mother for a while.After she went back to rest, Zuo Rong sat back on the bed and stared at the box for a while, Zuo Le's words came to mind again.

What is a normal person?Is it normal to have to get married and have children?Will a person as unsociable as myself really meet the right person?

He thought of his ex-girlfriend.

Said it was his ex-girlfriend, but in fact it was exactly as Zuo Le said, the two of them were together purely because of the little girl's stalking, he was so annoyed, so he agreed casually, and ended up breaking up without even holding hands.

The reason is that the little girl ran to the door of the class to look for him after class, which was too noisy and troublesome.

So five days later, he proposed to break up. The little girl cried like a pear blossom and rained, and even made a fuss at home, but Zuo Le finally resolved it.

But I don't know what Zuo Le said to others, but since then he has been fond of mentioning the name of a scumbag.

Obviously, he doesn't like that girl, Zuo Rong thinks so, he can't even remember her name.

So in the end, what is liking?

He wanted to send a message to Zuo Le, but he didn't dare to say anything when he thought that she had just lost her temper during the day and then immediately lost her temper.Thinking about it like this made me feel very bored, so I searched on Zhihu: How does it feel for an 18-year-old boy to be in awe of his sister?

In fact, Zuo Le was not as angry as he imagined, she was used to this brother following her ass since she was a child, and he would do whatever she said.

He is obviously such an excellent person, but he doesn't have any confidence in front of himself.

Zuo Le often reflected on whether it was because Zuo Rong accidentally broke her glass ball when she was a child, and then she was beaten up by herself, and the child ended up with Stockholm, or PTSD.

This time he made his own choice, Zuo Le was actually very pleased.The child I have always loved and loved has finally grown up.

Understanding is understanding, but distress is also true.

Since my aunt suffered from depression, this family has changed a lot, and it still looks harmonious, but in fact, under the surface of harmony is a disguise of smiling faces and tired cooperation.The family tacitly acted out a play of family harmony and beauty for themselves, trying to deceive themselves and others.

Among these people, what Zuo Le loves the most is not Auntie, but Zuo Rong.

He was supposed to be the favored son of heaven, but he lost his family property overnight.This is nothing, with his own ability, he will only make the family business bigger and stronger.

But his mother's illness was a huge blow to him.

Zuo Rong usually doesn't have any mood swings, and his face is always calm, but she has bumped into it several times. When the child came out of the room in the middle of the night, his eyes were red.

She felt sorry for this younger brother, but there was nothing she could do. She only hoped that he could meet someone who would still remember to love him even if he lost his mind.
