"Put your shoulder against the butt of the gun. If you want to shoot, the first thing is to hold the gun steadily. Only by holding it steadily can you shoot steadily. After holding the gun firmly, aim, eyes, front and rear sights, target, three points and one line.

After aiming, pull the trigger..."

Wang Zhong pointed carefully, but before he could finish his words, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and Xiaomao was shaken so much that his whole body trembled.

"It's okay, it's the first time. It's normal for the shot to go wrong. The first time dad fired a gun, he was worse than you!" Wang Zhong comforted his daughter.

"Pull the trigger, remove the cartridge case, load the gun, and aim again!" Wang Zhong stood behind Wheat Ya, placing his hands on Wheat Ya's shoulders, pointing softly.

Wheat sprouts enforced the law in accordance with the law, continued to aim, and pulled the trigger again.

Wheat sprouts seemed to be quite talented, and he hit the target in just the third shot.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Zhong held the gun, stood in front of the tree trunk, held his chin and nodded: "Only the third shot hit the target, isn't he talented!"

"Really?" Xiaomao asked nervously, his little face full of joy.

"Don't be too happy too early. Talent alone is not enough. You also need to practice hard the day after tomorrow to make your marksmanship better and better!" Wang Zhong said: "Good sharpshooters are all fed with bullets."

"Come on, let's continue!"

"Yeah!"

Although the sound of gunshots made his eardrums vibrate, Xiaomao still had great enthusiasm for shooting.

After firing ten bullets in succession, Wang Zhong gave up. At the same time, Wang Zhong taught his daughter how to look for animal footprints and feces in the snow.

Taking his daughter with him, Wang Zhong didn't go far inside. After searching for a long time, he found nothing, so he returned home carrying the exhausted wheat sprouts.

Before they even came down the mountain, Xiaomao fell asleep on Wang Zhong's back.

"Asleep?" Jiang Hongguo looked at her daughter on Wang Zhong's back, quickly dropped the needle and cotton thread in her hand, and helped her husband slowly help her daughter to lie down on the kang.

Maybe he was too tired after walking in the mountains all day, so Xiao Ma showed no intention of waking up and slept soundly.

Wang Zhong sat by the kang, looking at his sleeping little daughter, his memories gradually drifting away.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the list was published. Wang Zhong still looked calm and relaxed, but Jiang Hongguo couldn't sit still and followed his children to the county.

Before noon, I heard shouting outside, "I passed the exam, I passed the exam!"

"Dad, I passed the exam!"

"My eldest brother and my second brother have both passed the exam!"

Wang Zijin was so excited that she jumped onto the kang without taking off her shoes, grabbed Wang Zhong's hand and told him the good news.

Wang Zhong just hummed softly and continued to flip through the book in his hand.

"Dad, we have been admitted to university! The eldest brother has been admitted to Beijing Institute of Technology, the second brother has been admitted to Shuimu, and I have also been admitted to Luda University." Wang Zijin said happily.

"That's right, you didn't disappoint me!" Wang Zhong only nodded slightly, but his face was still calm and there was no trace of excitement at all.

Wang Zijin looked at her father in confusion. Before she could ask anything, her mother, brothers and sisters filed through the door.

"Dad, I'm telling you, the second in our family has won the first prize, and the eldest is in the top three!" Jiang Hongguo also happily reported the good news to Wang Zhong.

"Dad! The eldest and second brothers are amazing, and so is my sister!" Xiaomao also held Wang Zhong's hand and said happily.

"They are all taught by me. If they can't even pass the college entrance examination, wouldn't it be in vain that I have taught them step by step all these years?" As he spoke, Wang Zhong glanced at the brothers and sisters calmly, and then said: "

I have told you a long time ago that those who want to achieve great things need to have the calmness to remain calm despite the collapse of the mountains. Maintaining a calm attitude at all times is the key to determining whether a person can succeed."

"Dad, we are not you! How can we compare with you!" Wang Zijin said sourly. She could tell that her father was either very good at acting or he really knew what he was doing. He was not surprised at all.

.

"What you should consider now is which major to apply for. Have you decided on it?"

"That must be construction!" Wang Zi'an answered directly without thinking: "I will be a construction engineer in the future."

"I want to learn mechanical automation!" Wang Ziping is the calmest of the three brothers and sisters. Although he also has a smile on his face, he is not as excited as his younger brothers and sisters.

"What about you?" Wang Zhong looked at his third daughter. Among the three children, Wang Zhong already knew the ambitions of the eldest and the second child, but his daughter had always hidden them.

"I want to be a teacher!" Wang Zijin said: "And I want to be a teacher back in our county, preferably in our commune school."

Wang Zhong asked: "Then what major do you want to choose?"

Wang Zijin said: "Let's do literature!"

"Oh?" Wang Zhong was quite surprised: "Literature? I remember that your best grade was mathematics?"

"Didn't you tell me, dad? When choosing a major, you should choose something that interests you and likes it!" Wang Zijin said: "I just like literature, isn't that okay?"

"I didn't say no, literature is good!" Wang Zhongdao: "Your father, I am the best at it, and my favorite is literature. You are worthy of being my daughter. Even my hobbies are the same as mine."

Wang Ziyu tugged Wang Zhong's hand: "Dad, didn't you tell your second brother last time that what you are best at is architectural design?"

"Did I say that?" Wang Zhong looked at his youngest daughter in confusion.

Tzuyu nodded firmly.

"Dad, you told Uncle Youdao that you are best at carpentry!" Wang Zi'an said.

Wang Zijin added: "Dad, I remember one time when you and Uncle Renli were drinking, you said that your best thing was farming, and you also talked about putting theory into practice."

"I think I heard it too!" Little Cotton Jacket also added.

"It seems that there is such a thing." Both daughters said so, and Wang Zhong himself had some impression.

"That only shows that your father, I know everything and am good at everything!" Wang Zhong waved his hand and said proudly.

"Dad! Have you ever praised yourself so much?" Wang Zijin said with a smile.

"When people who are incompetent praise themselves, it's called bragging. When outstanding people like your father and I praise themselves, it's called telling the truth."

"Mom, look at dad, he's drunk before he even drinks."

"Your father is very happy." The smile on Jiang Hongguo's face was also extremely bright.

This New Year is destined to be a happy year. The news that all three old Wang brothers and sisters have been admitted to college is like a big stone falling into calm water. In the Maixiang Brigade, in the entire Maixiangling Commune, and even in the county,

It caused quite a stir in the province.

Especially the second eldest son, Wang Zi'an, is the provincial and county champion this time in Shandong Province. The eldest son, Wang Ziping, is ranked third in the province and second in the county. His younger sister, Wang Zijin, although her ranking is not high, has been admitted to university.

The most important thing is that for this college entrance examination, most of the applicants are educated youths who have gone to the countryside or have returned to the city. Although there are also fresh graduates, like the three Wang brothers and sisters, who are from rural areas, they are not many.

Well, it's even rarer.

The next day, reporters from the province came to Maixiang Village to conduct interviews. The education departments of the province and county specially sent people. Suddenly, the Lao Wang family of the Maixiang Brigade became a favorite.

Even Zhang Defu brought people down with a smile on his face to express condolences and gave him rewards.
