【137】When we grew up

Rationally speaking, everyone understands the benefits of Shen Mo transferring to No. 1 Middle School in the city, but since she was a child, she really wanted to leave. From Shen Baoguo and Peng Shuyu, to Cheng Mengfei, who had a relatively young age with Shen Mo, no one was willing to do so.

However, this is Chen Chengli's family matter. After all, he and Shu Mei have to make a decision.

At noon, Chen Chengli and Shu Mei discussed it again, and finally, according to Chen Chengli's previous proposal, he asked Shen Mo to finish the first grade of junior high school at the No. 2 Middle School in the Town and then transfer to No. 1 Middle School after the summer vacation. This was equivalent to giving the couple half a year to have more energy to handle the transition period related to the company's headquarters relocation and the establishment of a new company.

Although Shen Mo was unwilling to transfer to school, he actually understood in his heart that his parents’ arrangements were for his own good. She had been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child. Seeing that her parents took a step back, she agreed.

After accepting the fact that transferring is unchangeable, the girl began to be excited about her "achievements" in this incident. Although the final result was not changed, it was a phased victory after winning one semester.

This gave her a sense of pride and pride that she could master the direction of her life at a young age. She didn't have many people to tell about transferring schools, so she was particularly looking forward to Fang Chang'an coming over quickly and letting herself show off.

During this waiting process, she wanted to call him directly several times, but in the end she felt that this seemed too unreserved. She seemed to be very flaunting and proud of this matter, so she survived it.

The little girl tried to tell what she knew in an indifferent tone, but the heart that wanted to show off was always unspoken from her expression. Cheng Mengfei couldn't help but secretly find it funny when she looked around.

Fang Changan cooperated very well, expressing his mood in words, expressions and tone. From the surprise and reluctance of knowing that she was going to transfer to school at the beginning, to hearing her reasonable and well-founded refuting her parents' admiration, to the anxiety and expectation of her parents when they heard that she was hesitant to discuss, they all showed just right.

When he learned that she finally impressed her parents with a firm attitude and excellent performance, he just nodded his head and breathed a sigh of relief. The suppressed gratitude, joy, and the reluctance and melancholy after learning that she was still going to transfer to school in the summer can still make people feel it.

Shen Mo was quite excited at first, but when he saw him like this, he thought of having to part after the summer vacation, and his mood was a little depressed.

Seeing that they were not speaking, Cheng Mengfei was about to comfort him, Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "This is a good thing. When you arrive at No. 1 Middle School, your academic performance will definitely be better. You will definitely go to No. 1 Middle School in High School. Then I will also get into No. 1 Middle School."

Shen Mo's eyes lit up, he became a little happy again, and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

That's what she thought.

Fang Changan looked at her and showed a smile at the same time. Fang Changan thought she would be shy, but in the end he looked away with his eyes staring at the bright, pure and clear eyes.

"Well, Teacher Cheng, I'll go up and put the book back first."

Cheng Mengfei nodded, Fang Changan turned around and looked at Shen Mo again, and the little girl stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Cheng Mengfei nodded, turned on the TV with the remote control, and said, "Go, I can watch TV."

The two of them went upstairs one after another and arrived at the familiar study room. Fang Chang'an put the book down and took out another book "Dream Memories of Tao'an". He flipped it around casually. He turned around and saw Shen Mo still staring at him, and handed over a questionable look.

The little girl pouted and asked, "Fang Chang'an, if we meet again in high school, will you not know me?"

Fang Changan laughed and said, "You are still Shen Mo when you are in high school. As long as you don't disagree with me."

Shen Mo also felt that he was a little stupid. Thinking about the scene of seeing each other in high school, he became a little expectant and happy. He smiled sweetly and said confidently: "I must recognize you."

"That's good."

"Dreams of Tao'an" was written by Zhang Dai. Fang Chang'an, a later generation, read an online novel called "Ya Sao". He still remembers Zhang Dai in it, so he took it over and sat at the table to read it.

As usual, Shen Mo found a book called "Wang Wei's Poems Collection" and sat next to him to read. After a while, she whispered to Fang Chang'an: "This book is all classical Chinese, can you understand it?"

"Some people can understand it, but some people can't understand it."

"oh."

The little girl responded, and after a while, she asked again: "What is this book written?"

"The Pagoda for Repaying the Fortitude means that a tower built during Zhu Di was made of glazed bricks. There were hundreds of Buddha statues in the tower. Each Buddha statue was made of glazed bricks, and each brick was numbered. If one of them was broken, the Ministry of Works immediately burned the new ones according to the number and repaired immediately, just like the golden body of the Buddha statue will be ready by itself."

Fang Chang'an briefly talked about the content of "The Tower of Repayment", and then suddenly thought of something and asked: "Do you live in the city with your parents now?"

"I went to live for a few days. Now that school is on, I still have to live at my grandparents' house, and my parents also have to go on a business trip to do business."

Fang Chang'an nodded and asked again: "Where is your home? I mean the city."

Shen Mo blinked in confusion: "What are you asking about this?"

"Let me ask first. When high school starts, I will secretly come to your door and wait for you to give you a surprise."

Fang Changan said, closing the book.

Shen Mo smiled "hip", as if he thought of the scene Fang Changan said, and felt it was funny or happy, and then said, "Do you want to scare me, right? I will definitely find you in advance."

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "That's not necessarily."

"It's certainly possible." The little girl looked full of confidence.

"Okay, but even if you find out, it's best not to show it. You have to pretend to be surprised. It's not as sad as me, right?"

"Um--"

Shen Mo looked at him with his head tilted, and the dimples on his cheek were shallow, and he smiled sweetly: "Okay, I will definitely pretend to be very similar."

...

Fang Chang'an did not read any more books, and Shen Mo seemed to have forgotten about reading. He almost talked about meetings from winter vacation to high school. During this period, Shen Chengyan came back with a faint smell of alcohol on his body. He only went to the study to talk to him and went out again.

Fang Chang'an was eating as usual, and after five o'clock, it was already dark outside and it was still snowing. Cheng Mengfei looked outside and said, "Chang'an, don't ride a bike to school today. Are you going to your uncle's house to get bedding? Let your Uncle Shen take you there and ride a bike when you have time."

Fang Changan hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll trouble Uncle Shen."

"You're still polite to me?"

Chen Chengyan laughed and cursed, and asked Shen Mo again: "Mo Mo, are you going here together now, or are you going with your aunt later?"

Shen Mo also hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me go with Fang Chang'an."

"Okay, I'll send you back to get things first."

Chen Chengyan took the two young men to his father's place to get his schoolbags, then followed Fang Chang'an's instructions, and then drove to Fanglu Country.

Fang Luguo's residence is a few small courtyards in a large courtyard. The public space is very limited, and the car cannot enter, and he is afraid of the trouble of politeness, so he parked on the side of the road and let Fang Chang'an go there alone.

Fang Luguo's family was about to have a meal when they saw Fang Chang'an coming, and hurriedly asked him to eat together. After eating, they went back to school. Fang Chang'an explained that he had already eaten.

Fang Luguo and Xu Jing both knew that he was close to Cheng Mengfei and his wife, but when he heard that he had just had a meal at Cheng Mengfei's house, Chen Chengyan was waiting outside the door in a car, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Xu Jing said: "Then Lu Guo, please help Chang'an carry it over. It's snowing, so say hello, so as not to say we don't understand etiquette."

Fang Luguo understood his wife's meaning and took the opportunity to say hello to Chen Chengyan. It was somewhat of a friendship. He didn't like this. However, in order to save trouble, he wrapped two thick quilts and one mattress directly in bed sheets. It was quite inconvenient to carry them. He was worried that Fang Chang'an could not take them over, so he went upstairs and carried them down to Fang Chang'an.

Fang Changan said goodbye to the aunt and cousin, and supported the old man with a big black umbrella, and went to the side of the road together.

In order to guide the way, Fang Changan just sat in the co-pilot seat, but looking at the large bag of bedding, it was probably going to occupy Shen Mo's space in the back seat. Chen Chengyan helped to stuff it into the co-pilot seat and let Fang Changan sit behind him with Shen Mo.

Fang Luguo was not good at speaking, so he thanked Chen Chengyan and said, "You can't sit at home?" There was nothing else. Chen Chengyan politely declined, so he didn't delay much. He drove into the school, parked outside the living area, and helped Fang Chang'an carry the bedding to the dormitory.

Chen Chengyan has been to the cafeteria and it is the first time he has arrived in the dormitory. When he came in, Wang Hao had already put half of the bed because both of them had mattresses and had to fold them together. The sheets were not placed, and they were placed with the quilts.

However, looking at this, there is still a master, so Chen Chengyan came in first, looked into the dormitory, and asked strangely: "Which bed are you sleeping in?"

When Fang Chang'an pointed out Wang Hao's bed, Chen Chengyan understood that it was two people's bed. Looking at the area of ​​the bed, even if it was two children, it would be very difficult to turn over and didn't know what to say for a while.

Fang Changan understood his mood and did not make the bed. He waited for evening self-study and then put it in time. He followed Chen Chengyan back together. When he came from home, he forgot to bring an umbrella. The big black umbrella was taken by Cheng Mengfei, so he asked him to use it first.

Chen Chengyan held an umbrella, Fang Chang'an followed him out of the dormitory, raised his head and smiled, "Uncle Chen, don't you want to build a dormitory for the school again, right?"

Before Chen Chengyan could answer, he smiled and said, "When the second day of the lunar month, everyone will have a bed. Anyway, they are not tall now, so it's okay to squeeze in. When the teacher was just going to Beijing, several people's big shops had to say hello to the people next to him. I can only follow my example and experience the difficulties of life."

Chen Chengyan patted his head, smiled and sighed, "You are quite energetic! OK, you are not an ordinary child, and your uncle won't say much. Oh... After all, the country is still poor."

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "If you will become rich, the world will be in a great way. If you have a long relationship, you will be in a long relationship. Since Qin Shihuang, our land has been in a long relationship and has declined more than once. As long as we gather together again, we will soon move towards prosperity again. Now is a new era that has not passed since ancient times. Strongness is only a matter of time and it has been very fast."

Chen Chengyan sighed and did not answer.

After so long contact, Chen Chengyan has a deep understanding of Fang Chang'an's intelligence and premature wisdom, but he is a child after all, and he does not understand the difficulties of the current situation. In the past, the land of China was always strong because even in a period of relative decline, he always maintained productivity and led the height of civilization.

Now, the dilemma facing China is not only the trauma after a hundred years of turmoil, but also at a disadvantage in many areas that once proud of it. In addition, the world is now linked with unprecedented close relationships. How easy is China to rise like before?

The more you can see the situation clearly, the less confident you will be in the future.

Fang Changan of course understood Chen Chengyan’s true thoughts. When he returned to the car, Chen Chengyan drove the car downstairs and was about to get off the car, he asked: “Uncle Chen, did you just want to say that the current world is different from before?”

Without waiting for Chen Chengyan to answer, he continued naively: "But China is different now than before. The scholars in the past were superior, and now everyone can study."

"You must have heard the saying 'Study for the rise of China'."

While talking, Fang Chang'an and Shen Mo both got out of the car. He stood in front of the car window with the big black umbrella. The umbrella slightly turned to Shen Mo next to him. The little girl stood side by side with him, not paying attention to this little detail, but just opened her bright eyes and listened to him curiously.

Through the fallen passenger seat window, Chen Chengyan also looked at the little boy who surprised him many times. Seeing him laughing childishly, he said childish words:

"We all study for ourselves, and we never even think about why we don't have such lofty ideals and ambitions in our studies. But as long as we go to campus, read books, and learn words, we are actually already studying for the rejuvenation of China."

"When I, we, grow up, will China become stronger and revived again."
