From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

Professor Zhou almost couldn't help but snatch the phone away, but unfortunately, before he could do anything, Professor Zhang had already finished speaking and hung up the phone happily.

"How is it? How many points did Li Chengye get this time?" Professor Zhou asked anxiously as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Hey, guess how many points he got?" Professor Zhang was in a very good mood at this time, and he even kept Professor Zhou in suspense.

Professor Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said coldly: "Hurry up and tell me, what nonsense are you talking about."

Professor Zhang shook his head helplessly, "You, you are just too impatient!"

Professor Zhou stared at him without saying a word, with a cold face, looking a little scary.

Upon seeing him like this, Professor Zhang immediately shuddered, no longer daring to play tricks, and hurriedly said: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you now."

He coughed lightly and said very solemnly: "Li Chengye, our student scored 496 points in this college entrance examination."

"What? 496?" Professor Zhou was still a little bit unconvinced. He knew that Li Chengye's grades were good from the attitude of old man Zhang before, but he never thought that his grades would be so good. This score was simply too surprising. There were no additional questions in their college entrance examination this time, and there were only some foreign language professional examinations, so the total score was only 500 points. Li Chengye's score can be said to be almost full marks.

"Of course, he is still the top scorer in our province." Professor Zhang was also very proud at this time. You know, Li Chengye is still his student, which means something different.

"What about the national results? Have the national results come out?" Professor Zhou was also very excited, but he immediately thought of something more important. You know, there can be dozens of provincial top scorers, but there is only one national top scorer.

"This is not certain yet. They said that the scores of several provinces have not been summarized, but among all the provinces, Li Chengye's score is still the highest." Professor Zhang shook his head with some expectation in his eyes. Li Chengye's score is already very good. I heard that the one closest to this score is more than ten points less.

Professor Zhou clapped his hands, "Hey, it seems that this time the top scorer in the college entrance examination has a great chance of being Li Chengye!"

"It should be." Professor Zhang also agreed very much.

While the two were talking, the phone rang again. This time, Professor Zhou was faster and quickly picked it up. The person on the other end of the phone spoke before Professor Zhou could finish. Professor Zhang also quickly leaned over to listen and immediately heard a loud laugh coming from the phone.

"Hahahahaha, the top scorer in the national college entrance examination has been announced. Do you know? Do you know? The top scorer in this college entrance examination is Li Chengye from our province, that's him..."

The person on the other end of the phone was their old friend, a director of the Provincial Department of Education. It was very good news for them that the top scorer in the national college entrance examination came from here.

The other party just came to inform the news. After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Professor Zhou and the others to speak. He should have informed other people.

"Hahaha, old man Zhou, did you hear that? The top scorer in the national college entrance examination is really Li Chengye. Hurry up and call him now." Professor Zhang was so happy that he hurriedly snatched the phone from Professor Zhou's hand, hung up and picked it up again, and dialed the number that he remembered very well.
