I studied abroad in modern times
Chapter 2 Modern
Alive!
These days, he has never had enough to eat in the farm.
Zheng Fa was also ashamed. After eating all kinds of delicacies in this world, it was even more difficult to swallow pig grass leaves...
After all, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
As for the delicious bacon, he always gave it to his sister and mother.
After all, he had a good life in this world. If he went to grab that little bit of meat, he would not be able to get over it.
Five years ago, his father passed away. He cried all night before falling asleep. When he closed his eyes, he found himself in this wonderful world.
After that, every seven days, he would come to this world in his dream. After another seven days, he would return to the original world, which was very similar to the saying of crossing in this world, except that he, a person from another world, crossed into this world, and it was the so-called "wearing".
From then on, he would eat a lot in this world for seven days, and then return to Xuanwei World - this is the name of the world for the people in that world. He would almost starve for seven days in Xuanwei World.
Now he is used to it.
Zheng Fa touched his slightly bulging belly and walked out of the house.
He lives in a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a teacher's apartment building of Qingshui Middle School. The building has a total of six floors and was built in the last century.
Thirty years have made this building seem a little out of date. There is no elevator, the corridor is narrow and dark, the iron handrails are rusty, and there is even some moss growing at the corners of the corridor.
In the eyes of others, this house is old and may not be as comfortable as those new communities, but Zheng Fa is very satisfied. The houses he has lived in since he was a child are all built with mud bricks mixed with straw. When he first came to this world, the white walls and transparent glass in the room made him think he had come to a fairyland.
Not to mention the electric lights, televisions, cars, mobile phones, and other things that people in this world are accustomed to.
After learning a little about this world, he really thought that this was the fairyland that the storyteller talked about when he went to the market-there were iron birds flying in the sky, flying thousands of miles a day.
A small screen can let you know what happened thousands of miles away.
After learning a little more, he knew that the people in this world were actually mortals, and their bodies were even weaker than those in his original world.
Zheng Fa's family had been tenants of the Zhao family for generations, and they had nothing special about them. However, the Zhao family was not an ordinary family, but a family of prestige. All the blood relatives and children in the family practiced martial arts, and those with outstanding talents could even enter the legendary immortal gate.
But for the people in this world, let alone cultivating immortals, practicing martial arts seemed to exist only on TV or in ghost videos.
Zheng Fa did not look down on the people in this world. As a mortal, he was able to achieve those achievements that seemed like immortals in the storyteller's mouth. He felt that this was even more worthy of admiration.
He is now a senior student in Qingshui High School. The apartment building he lives in is behind the teaching building, and it only takes five minutes to walk to the classroom.
As soon as he walked to the door of the classroom, he heard the boy sitting in the first row by the door shouting at him: "Zheng Fa, Lao Chen is calling you!"
"Got it!" Zheng Fa replied, put his backpack on the seat, and heard the boy asking: "Zheng Fa, what did you do?"
Zheng Fa was also thinking about this, and he was nervous.
Lao Chen was their head teacher and Chinese teacher.
Being called to the office by the head teacher early in the morning is definitely a terrifying event in a student's life, even if the student is a time traveler.
Walked to the teacher's office, pushed open the slightly mottled yellow wooden door, and next to the desk closest to him, Lao Chen's bald head was unusually bright in the morning light.
"Teacher Chen."
"Zheng Fa, come and sit!"
Zheng Fa felt relieved. Seeing Lao Chen's attitude, it didn't seem to be a bad thing. He sat in front of Lao Chen, with his legs together and his hands on his knees.
Highlighting a well-behaved person.
"Why are you so nervous?" Old Chen smiled when he saw his sitting posture: "I just want to ask you, you are also a senior in high school, which university are you going to apply for?"
"I..." I didn't expect that Old Chen would ask him this, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"In fact, teachers usually don't care about this matter. It depends on your personal wishes. Ordinary students can discuss it with your family. But your situation is special after all..."
Old Chen didn't finish his words, but Zheng Fa understood what he meant - when Zheng Fa crossed over, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was already an orphan in this world.
The original parents were teachers at Qingshui Middle School and died in a car accident, which was even worse than in the Xuanwei Realm, but the security in this world was much better.
On the one hand, as the original unit of his parents, Qingshui Middle School has always helped him. Although it was just exempted from tuition, at least he didn't have to worry about studying.
On the other hand, the community has always had corresponding subsidies, plus the house and inheritance left by his parents, although life is not rich, there is no worry about food.
If we compare the life of the Zheng family in another world, this world can almost be said to be a blessing.
Including Lao Chen, the teachers in the class all knew Zheng Fa's life experience. Whether because of pity or because of friendship, they usually tried not to mention words like parents and family in front of Zheng Fa.
Because he had never lived with his parents in this world, he was grateful to them in his heart, but he didn't have much affection. However, Zheng Fa also understood this little warmth.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lao Chen could only continue: "Tell me what you think, and I'll give you some reference."
Zheng Fa was grateful in his heart.
Although Lao Chen looks a bit rough, he has always been responsible. It is not even seven o'clock now, but he is already sitting in the office. Zheng Fa knows that he is here almost every morning.
"I want to study physics." Zheng Fa has also thought about college.
Perhaps studying is not a happy thing for young people in this world.
But Zheng Fa cherishes it very much.
When he was a child, he went to elementary school for one year. At that time, he did not like studying very much, and even preferred to do farm work rather than go.
But later his father had an accident and he no longer had the conditions to go to school. Instead, he began to miss the school.
In Zhuangzi, only Wang Gui, the son of Wang Guanshi, finished elementary school and was later selected as the book boy of the seventh young master.
Other children in Zhuangzi did not have this condition.
So other children in Zhuangzi were very envious of Wang Gui's ability to go to school.
Zheng Fa was even more so.
Now that he has the opportunity to study, even to go to college, the highest institution of learning in the world, he naturally yearns for it.
Studying physics... Well, he has the best physics grades.
Another reason is that he has a kind of inner curiosity about so-called science.
He had read the history of this world. Hundreds of years ago, the situation in this world was not much different from that in another world.
It even seemed more lifeless because there were no immortals and martial arts.
This world had changed dramatically over the past few hundred years. In his opinion, the biggest reason was the knowledge called science.
He was full of longing, admiration, and even fascination for it.
"Physics? Going the academic path?" Old Chen thought about it. This child's family conditions were not good, so doing academics might not be the right path.
"Then do you have an ideal university?"
"Jiangnan University."
"Jiangnan University?" Old Chen glanced at Zheng Fa: "Jiangnan University is not easy to get into. Your current grades are... difficult!"
He looked pessimistic about Zheng Fa.
But when he finished talking to Zheng Fa, he looked at the student's back as he walked away, and he showed a satisfied look.
A female teacher sitting opposite Old Chen asked curiously: "Is this the child from Teacher Zheng's family?"
"Yes." Old Chen nodded.
The female teacher showed some sympathy and a little surprise on her face: "Didn't you say that this child's grades are not very good? At that time, he entered our high school because he was an orphan of a teacher, so his grades were taken care of."
"This child's grades were really bad when he first entered the school." Lao Chen smiled a little proudly: "At that time, other class teachers didn't want him, but he came to my class."
"Then it is really difficult to get into Jiangnan University!" The female teacher nodded.
Jiangnan University is one of the top ten in the country, and the Department of Physics is one of its trump majors.
"No, you don't know this child. From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, his grades have been rising. He was at the bottom of the class in the first year of high school, but he was able to get into the middle of the class in the second year of high school. Now he can occasionally get into the top ten in the third year of high school."
The female teacher was a little surprised: "So much stamina? Then there is still hope for Jiangnan University?"
Lao Chen shook his head: "No, it's a bit late. His current grades are at least 20 points away from Jiangnan University... What a pity."
...
Zheng Fake didn't know Lao Chen's praise and regret for him.
He had no relatives or friends in this world, and knew that he could get too little information.
All he could do was to work hard.
He ate lunch in the school cafeteria as usual, and sitting opposite him was his deskmate and good friend, Wang Chen.
Looking at the food in front of him, Wang Chen's face was full of despair: "Does the chef in the cafeteria sell eggplants at home? How come this eggplant and beans are available every day?"
Then look at the other dishes.
The water spinach was lying at the bottom of the plate, looking like it could not be ravaged.
A pig hair on the braised pork stood up and showed off to him.
"Are these people in the kitchen relatives of the principal? These dishes have been made from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, but they are still so bad! They really don't forget their original intentions!" He looked at Zheng Fa opposite him: "Accompany me to the supermarket to buy some bread later!"
Opposite him, Zheng Fa poured the braised pork sauce on the rice, stirred it twice with chopsticks, and then shoveled the last mouthful of rice into his mouth.
The expression on his face was enjoyable, satisfied to the point of being almost pious.
After he swallowed the rice, he raised his head, as if he had just heard him speak, and looked at Wang Chen a little blankly: "Why don't you eat?"
Looking at the rice plate in front of Zheng Fa that was cleaner than if it had been washed with water, and then looking at the food he had hardly touched, Wang Chen opened his mouth, unable to speak, and a little doubting himself.
Is it really that delicious?
He picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites with his eyes closed...
Ugh!
