Chapter Seventy-Four Still Alright

  (I was so absorbed in reading that I almost forgot to update, sweating... updated, continue to desperately seek recommendation votes.)

  "Haha, Old Wang, you don't know this, but my kid really made an effort this time, 637 points, not a single point was wasted. How's that? Better than your kid's score, right? Don't be jealous, you can't even be jealous of this..."

  In the morning, the scorching sun was lavishly splashing its passion. At Yanhe County Committee's residential compound, Guo Zhengyang had just walked into the courtyard when he suddenly heard loud laughter coming from a certain building. The familiar laughter made Guo Zhengyang stunned for a moment - it was his father, did he know?

  And judging from his appearance, Father not only knew about his results but was also very pleased with them. Just listening to his boastful tone, you could tell how happy the people on that side were.

  Not to mention as a father, it's rare to speak to people in this tone.

  Guo Zhengyang was taken aback for a moment, but he also found it somewhat amusing. In his impression, his father, whether in the previous life or this life, had rarely been so proud of him.

  I don't know who the old Wang is in Father's mouth, of course, this is not important. When Guo Zhengyang collected his thoughts and continued walking, the conversation from the house in the distance also ended soon. It was just a boastful talk before hanging up the phone. Then Mother's voice rang out, "Hello, Mr. Guo, how can you be so shameless? Didn't you always think that Xiao Zheng is not promising? I was just preparing to scare you when you asked him about his scores and scold him again. You knew this in advance, from last night to now, you've almost notified everyone who could be notified. Are you intentionally trying to anger me?"

  Her mother's voice was filled with frustration, as if she had been expecting something for a long time and it was about to succeed, but suddenly it all fell apart, frustrating her to the point of madness.

  This made Guo Zhengyang unable to help but want to laugh.

  Yes, before that, his mother had been reminding Guo Zhengyang not to tell his father about his sudden improvement in academic performance, and was even planning to surprise him after the college entrance exam results came out. If he didn't believe it at that time, his mother was also prepared to throw Guo Zhengyang's previous test papers in his father's face to vent her anger.

  But now that I think about it, this rather unpleasant thing seems to have been ruined? And Father knew about it last night? And almost single-handedly took care of all the people he could brag to?

  "Haha, last night, Principal Lu called me as soon as possible to share the good news. My son is so capable, can't I brag about him a bit in front of others?"

  The mother's words were filled with melancholy, but the father's loud laughter soon followed, and a few words made Guo Zhengyang, who was walking, feel relieved.

  Originally, last night someone took the initiative to inform Father of the good news and announced his college entrance examination scores.

  But it's also true that Father has been the county party secretary for several years and is now a vice mayor, and tomorrow he'll be moving into his new position. The official appointment should have come down by now. With such status and prestige, if Guo Zhengyang's exam scores were very poor, naturally no one would dare to report them falsely, but with these scores, it's enough to make many people try their best to curry favor with Father.

  Although this good news ruined his mother's small plan, Guo Zhengyang was very nonchalant about it. After all, he had worked hard to study just to make the people in the front room happy once and excited once. Now that his father was so excited, no longer disappointed in him but proud of him, the purpose had already been achieved.

  The closer he got, the more Guo Zhengyang was about to reach his front door, but he found out in dismay that his father was on the phone with someone again, boasting shamelessly as usual. Although with Guo Zhengyang's hearing, the person on the other end of the line congratulated his father on his promotion at first, but his father quickly changed the subject and asked about how their daughter did on her college entrance exam this year, then laughed in a very unpleasant way saying that their daughter was not ambitious enough, my son scored so many points...

  "Spare me, who was it that thought my son was useless before? What's this supposed to be now?"

  Kuang Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed and stopped in his tracks outside the house, waiting for the phone call to end. His mother's gloomy and dissatisfied voice came on again.

  "Ah, can't I be wrong? You're the same too. No wonder those high school days when you'd get angry with me for no reason, it turns out you were worried about that kid. I had no idea he was so diligent. It seems my few slaps weren't in vain. If he doesn't make an effort again in the future, this method can be used again."

  "How dare you?"

  …………

  The sound in the house became clearer and clearer, and Guo Zhengyang finally couldn't help but laugh as he arrived at the door. As soon as he knocked on the door, the voice inside stopped immediately.

  "Xiao Zheng is back, too lazy to care about you. This kid goes out to play and plays for so long...". The argument stopped, the mother whispered again and quickly came over to open the door.

  When the door opened, her mother's face lit up with joy upon seeing Guo Zhengyang, and she exclaimed, "You're back."

  "En." Guo Zhengyang nodded, and as he followed his mother into the house, he was surprised to find his father sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, holding a newspaper and reading, seemingly unaware of his return.

  This is quite different from what he heard before...

  "Xiao Zheng, you really made an effort to prove yourself. Now some people dare not say that you're useless again." At this time, Guo Zhengyang was speechless and looked at his father, while his mother smiled and spoke up beside him, also giving a sideways glance at her husband on the sofa.

  The person on the sofa didn't change their expression, they just slightly raised their head to take a glance, then put down the newspaper and stood up, "It's fine, I guess."

  "Hmm"

  Madam Guo's eyes widened instantly, while Mr. Guo walked towards the door, "I still have some things to take care of, by the way, we're moving tomorrow, to the city."

  As he spoke, they walked together until they reached the entrance, whereupon Guo Fu looked at Guo Zhengyang once more before stepping out.

  The door slammed shut again, and outside, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed out for over ten meters before the extremely suppressed low laughter spread again.

  "Almost exposed myself in front of this little brat, tsk..."

  Guo Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh on the spot, what play is Father performing now?

  However, after some thought, he seemed to understand a bit. After all, his father had always been full of dignity in front of him and often scolded him, so it was probably really embarrassing for him to change too much at this time.

  What if his father found out? The several phone calls he made earlier and the sneaky smile now would all be clearly heard by Guo Zhengyang, so what would his reaction be?

  Will it be embarrassing to catch a madness?

  "This guy." Guo Zhengyang couldn't help but chuckle, while his mother was also speechless on the side, staring straight ahead. However, she immediately burst out laughing and pulled Guo Zhengyang down to sit on the sofa. "You've been out playing for so long, you must be tired. Take a rest first, I'll get you some fruit. By the way, you don't know yet, but your dad has been promoted to vice mayor, so we're moving to the city in two days. But don't worry about that, just focus on having fun during this vacation..."

  Watching his mother take over his backpack, busy and nagging, Guo Zhengyang just smiled, smiling very happily, the greatest wish was thoroughly settled this year, this taste is indeed wonderful.
