Doing It Over Again - Chapter 23

Although the reporters from Guoshi TV had seen Shen Shao’s photos for a long time, when Shen Shao appeared in front of them, they still almost didn’t recognize him, because the real Shen Shao looked taller and more handsome than on TV.

“Shen Shao, hello.” Reporter Liu Zhong is a very gentle person. He did not neglect the etiquette because of Shen Shao’s young age, but shook hands with Shen Shao very solemnly, “I’m Guo Shi. Liu Zhong, a reporter from the “People’s Livelihood” column group of the TV station, this is Peng Jie, the photographer of our column group, today we are going to trouble you for a day.” In his eyes, a genius boy like Shen Shao should not be treated with ordinary boys. attitude to be treated.

“Uncle Liu, you’re welcome,” Shen Shao turned to greet the cameraman, and then asked, “Do you want to start now?”

Liu Zhong nodded: “You don’t have to worry about us, just do what you usually do.” What they want to shoot is Shen Shao’s natural study life.

“That’s good,” Shen Shao smiled at the two of them, and pushed the bicycles into the school gate with two friends. Although Liang Cheng and Zhou Zeyu were not used to having cameras next to them, they still tried their best to ignore the black shell behind them.

Liu Zhong followed Shen Shao and found that many people in No. 3 Middle School knew Shen Shao. It was a short distance from the school gate to the bicycle parking area. Many students greeted Shen Shao. Some were called seniors and some were called Shao. Brother, there are also people named Shen Shao. Although the names of these students are different, Liu Zhong can feel the closeness or respect of these people to Shen Shao.

“Brother Shao, let’s have a physical education class in the afternoon?” A boy from the adjacent class came over and patted Shen Shao on the shoulder. Then he noticed Liu Zhong and others, and was stunned for a while, then turned his head and threw it at Shen Shao. “See you in the afternoon.”

“They didn’t lose to us last time, but this time they’re here again,” Zhou Zeyu glanced at the boy’s back and put his hand on Shen Shao’s shoulder, “I’ll win them again this afternoon.”

Shen Shao glanced at him and said noncommittally: “The premise is that this afternoon’s physical education class will not be occupied.”

The three of them went to the classroom, put the books they needed in class on the table, and then started their day of study.

Seeing this, Liu Zhong asked Peng Jie to take a shot of Shen Shao reading a book, and then left with interest. The third middle school is willing to let them shoot, mostly because of Shen Shao’s face, otherwise their small local station would not have so much face to follow the film all day in the best high school in the province.

Also because of the school’s emphasis on Shen Shao, he respected Shen Shao even more. He even felt that Shen Shao had a bright future and would become a big man, so when he got along with Shen Shao, he unconsciously brought that kind of respect with him. come out.

During the recess, Liu Zhong found out that Shen Shao was not a dead reader, because at this time, Shen Shao would chat and play with his classmates instead of reading. During the lunch break, Shen Shao specially invited them to eat at a clean restaurant outside the school, and then half-jokingly and half-apologetically said, “Two uncles, you two came from your hometown on purpose, I can only invite you to eat these, you must Never mind.”

Before Liu Zhong came, he had deliberately learned about Shen Shao’s family situation. How could he be willing to invite him to treat him? What’s more, the Taili approved enough activity funds for him this time. The original intention was to let them find a way to buy some living and school supplies for Shen Shao. In the end, he finally made Shen Shao give up the idea of ​​treating guests with the reason of “not letting him treat him is looking down on him”.

The food came to the table quickly. After taking a few shots, Peng Jie also sat down and ate together. The three elders didn’t have any rules to keep their mouths shut, and they chatted a few times while eating.

“Are you still used to life at school?” Liu Zhong recalled Shen Shao’s life experience, both admiration and sympathy. When he was as old as Shen Shao, he was not as promising as Shen Shao.

Shen Shao nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, “The teachers and classmates in the school are very kind to me, and most of the time I am the one who is taken care of.”

At this time, Peng Jie had already turned on the camera and started shooting silently.

“I also saw that many classmates like you because of your good grades?” Liu Zhong asked, “or because you are handsome?”

“This question is too difficult to answer,” Shen Shao looked at Liu Zhong with an embarrassed look, and then said with a smile, “Actually, everyone is very friendly.”

Liu Zhong laughed a few times, and then said, “I thought it was because you are handsome, good grades, and can play basketball again.”

Shen Shao scratched his head: “Uncle Liu, don’t make fun of me. If my classmates know about it, I will definitely be made fun of by them until graduation.”

After the two joked, Liu Zhong’s tone became serious: “Many people in your hometown are worried that you will not be able to take care of your body when you study abroad alone. Do you have anything to say to everyone?”

Shen Shao heard a grateful smile on his face, and then said sincerely: “Some people think that I am pitiful, but in fact I am a very lucky person. When I was in junior high school, my fellow villagers worried that I would not eat well, and whenever I went home on vacation, , they always find various reasons to stuff me with eggs and fruits, and the village committee often supports my life. They also give me living allowances during the festivals. Before the start of high school, the village even collected a lot of tuition fees for me. The family conditions of my two uncles are very ordinary, and they have their own children to support, but they always give me a lot of money every year. There are also two aunts, the sweaters and vests I wear now are all knitted by them for me They are all very ordinary people, but they gave me the greatest care possible. For me, their care is my greatest wealth and luck.”

After listening to these words, Liu Zhong’s throat was a little itchy, and after taking a deep breath, he said, “Everyone is a kind person.”

Shen Shao nodded heavily, then said to the camera: “Thank you, I will study hard and try not to disappoint you.”

“You didn’t let them down,” Liu Zhong said, looking at the serious-looking young man in front of him, with a particularly gentle smile, “You won the first place in the National Mathematics League, and the whole hometown is proud of you.”

Their fruit city is not a developed city, and the education level in the whole province is only moderate. If a student can be admitted to Huada University or Beijing University, it will be something that everyone should warmly celebrate, not to mention Shen Shao’s live broadcast nationwide. The talents who won the championship in the show are no different from the stars in their fruit market.

“Thank you everyone, but I haven’t done enough,” Shen Shao shook his head, “It’s far from enough.”

The honors he has won belong to him. Even the name of the competition is Furong No. 3 Middle School, and he has not made any contribution to the fruit market.

Liu Zhong didn’t expect that Shen Shao would take this issue so seriously, but as a fruit city person, he was very moved by Shen Shao’s idea, “You are still young, we believe you will make more achievements.”

Shen Shao smiled shyly at the camera, and then drank the soup from the bowl with his head down.

Later in the afternoon, Liu Zhong and Peng Jie filmed Shen Shao’s performance in physical education class, and interviewed some classmates for their views on Shen Shao. left the third.

The content of this filming was successfully broadcast on Guoshi TV a week later. Although the whole program was only one hour after deletion, it showed many advantages of Shen Shao very well.

He is humble and courteous, his teachers love him, his classmates are close, his grades are good and he can play basketball, and he is also a child who knows his gratitude and never forgets his roots.

Shen Shao’s words of thanks to the villagers in front of the camera were not deleted at all, and no one would think that he was acting with his sincere expression, but was moved by the emotions he expressed.

No father or mother, steadfast and progressive, repaying gratitude, how many teenage young people in this world can do it?

Later, due to the promotion of Guoshi TV station, Peng County TV station also went to interview Shen Shao’s two uncles. The two uncles were full of praise when they talked about Shen Shao, and also showed reporters that Shen Shao sent them all these years. Although things are not expensive, they are better than they are.

“After Xiao Shao went to Beijing to participate in the competition this time, he specially sent us the roast duck he bought from Beijing,” Shao Qingwu smiled and put the roast duck in front of the camera, “How many times we told him not to spend money, but he Just don’t listen, save money to buy these things for us, there’s really no way to get him.”

The reporter complained silently: If the smile on your face that is bright enough to blind people can be restrained a little, I may be able to deceive myself to believe your words.

Compared to Shen Shao’s two uncles, his uncle Shen Jianjun’s family was much more embarrassing.

Many people in the village know that when Shen Shao was in high school, Shen Jianjun’s family didn’t make any money, and even the donation was not much different from that of other ordinary folks. They also heard that the two girls in Shen Jianjun’s family didn’t like the cousin Shen Shao. Sometimes the words are a bit ugly, but now that Shen Shao is out, I don’t know what they feel in their hearts.

Shen Jianjun and Liu Shulian really had mixed tastes in their hearts. During dinner, Shen Hong was eating roast duck, and at the same time he thought that Shen Shao sent too little. Shen Jianjun, who had always been silent, finally broke out: “Shut up for me, don’t show off Shen Shao outside. It’s your cousin, and you complain when you go home, they don’t owe you anything, and if you have the ability, like your cousin, you can show good results!”

“Why do you despise me for being incompetent, if you weren’t poor, why would I be laughed at in class?!” When Shen Hong heard this, it was like popping a balloon. Deng Deng ran back to the room.

“I’m used to her!” Shen Jianjun said impatiently, “I think my parents are incompetent, so I will show them by myself. Shen Shao can still be successful without a father or a mother, so she can only do that. Complain about us!”

Shen Jianjun felt a little guilty towards Shen Shaoben. In addition, someone outside said that his family was hard-hearted, and he was in a bad mood. Now Shen Hong’s words have become the fuse that ignited his silence for many years. The words of reprimand are also particularly ugly.

Both Liu Shulian and Shen Yuan fell silent. Shen Yuan was older than Shen Hong and had gradually become more sensible. Knowing that she had misunderstood her cousin back then, the dissatisfaction in her heart turned into worship.

She looked at the vicissitudes of life of her father, and thought a little sourly, if it wasn’t because of poverty, her family wouldn’t have such embarrassing quarrels as now, right?

Shen Shao didn’t know that the uncle’s family had a quarrel because of him. For him, the most important thing now is the college entrance examination.

Two months later, a total of more than five million senior high school students finally struggled through the sprint stage of the college entrance examination and ushered in the once-a-year college entrance examination in China.

Thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge, and the most important exam in life is coming.
