The aunt arrived at work, and Song Mingyang observed her for a few days and was very satisfied. This aunt is not only good-tempered and patient, but her cooking skills are really good, and she also likes to cook all kinds of soups. At Professor Song's age, drinking more soup is good for your health.
.
For this matter, Song Mingyang specially thanked Tian Shao: "Tian Shao, thank you for finding such a good aunt for my grandfather."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I didn't find Aunt Zhang, Pei Yue helped me find her. When he heard that you were worried about Grandpa Song not going to study abroad, he was very anxious and discussed with me that we could take care of him on your behalf in the future."
Song Mingyang was startled: "Why is he anxious?"
Tian Shao explained: "Pei Yue hopes that you can go abroad to learn the most advanced technology, and then use what you have learned to fill this gap and narrow the gap with foreign countries as soon as possible."
Song Mingyang was silent for a moment and said: "Grandpa hopes that I can study abroad as soon as possible. I originally planned to leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. Now that he has you and Aunt Zhang taking care of him, I feel relieved and will leave after everything is arranged."
Tian Shao was very surprised and said: "Why so fast? I remember that MIT started in August or September."
Song Mingyang explained: "My grandfather has a student who teaches there. My grandfather has contacted him a few days ago. He happens to study computers, so I went to follow him for a while."
In this case, you can indeed go early. Tian Shao asked: "What about the studies here?"
"I have finished my undergraduate studies last year..."
Tian Shao didn't want to talk to him anymore. He studied hard every day, but he had already finished his undergraduate studies. Alas, this is probably the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. I can't envy him.
Two days before Song Mingyang left the country, Tian Shao and Pei Yue went to visit Professor Song together, and they also treated Song Mingyang as a farewell.
Professor Song asked Tian Shao if he had any idea of studying abroad, and if so, he could help. He felt that Tian Shao was also very good, and studying economics and going around outside would be a golden experience.
Tian Shao declined politely and said with a smile: "I will definitely continue to work in comics after graduation and will not work in the financial industry."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yue immediately said: "I have discussed it with Xiaotian and we will get married as soon as she graduates."
Song Mingyang glanced at Tian Shao and said nothing.
When having dinner, Tian Shao understood why Song Mingyang came to express his gratitude. The aunt's cooking skills in this picture are really good, no worse than the chefs in the hotel.
After dinner, Tian Shao and Song Mingyang said, "I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"
Song Mingyang saw that there was nothing strange about Pei Yue, so he nodded and took him into his room.
After entering the room, Tian Shao closed the door, and then took out a thick envelope from his bag: "I cashed this in Hong Kong City. It's a total of five thousand US dollars. You can use it when you get there."
Last time I bought a hard-to-find medicine with a US knife, Tian Shao tasted the benefits and exchanged 10,000 US dollars in Hong Kong this time. Of course, she wouldn't take it out to someone she didn't particularly trust.
Song Mingyang was shocked and quickly said: "Tian Shao, you have helped me a lot, how can I still ask for your money? Tian Shao, I know you have a good heart, but I really can't ask for this money."
Tian Shao knew that he would not take it, so he said: "This is not my money, it is your money. You also have a share of the money I made from reselling the information books. Although you said you didn't want it, I have always kept it for you."
Song Mingyang's attitude remained unchanged and said: "I said that day, it has nothing to do with me that you earned this money yourself. Tian Shao, take this money back quickly, I won't want it."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "You said no before. Thinking that Grandpa Song has a job and pays you to study for free, I didn't give it. But it's different now. You are going to study in a beautiful country. The consumption level there is higher than here.
More than ten times, the little money you bring with you is simply not enough. I heard in Hong Kong that many people from poor families go there to study and work-study, washing dishes or working as waiters."
At this point, she explained: "I'm not saying that work-study is not good, but I think people like you should devote yourself to learning. Besides, a poor family has a rich life. If something unexpected happens when you go out, you should always be on hand.
Don’t worry if you have money.”
Song Mingyang shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you before that there is an associate professor at the university who is my grandfather's student. If I have any difficulties, I can go to him."
Tian Shao understood it as soon as he heard it and said: "I will lend you this money, and you will pay it back to me with interest in the future. Song Mingyang, you have money in your hand, it will be convenient even if you want to come back to visit Professor Song in the future."
Round-trip air tickets are not cheap, and most students studying abroad at public expense cannot afford it. Of course, with Song Mingyang’s ability, even if he is on a work-study program, he may not necessarily wash dishes, but may also do research with a professor!
Song Mingyang asked: "Does Comrade Pei know about this?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Of course I know, I won't hide such a big thing from him. After he found out, he was not worried enough and said he would remit it to you next time he goes to Hong Kong City!"
Song Mingyang took the envelope with both hands, nodded and said: "I borrowed this money, and I will pay it back several times in the future."
"Then I'll be waiting." Tian Shao said with a smile. Money is a person's courage at any time, even in a foreign country.
After the matter was done, Tian Shao and Pei Yue went back.
Song Mingyang sent the two of them downstairs and said to Pei Yue: "Comrade Pei, thank you for the money."
Pei Yue said seriously: "Classmate Song, I hope you can complete your studies as soon as possible and return to serve the motherland."
Song Mingyang also nodded and solemnly agreed: "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."
Tian Shao heard the words and said hurriedly: "I heard that top universities like Massachusetts have specialized research institutions. The research institutions gather big guys in related fields. If you have the opportunity to join after you graduate with a Ph.D., don't refuse. Youdao is a famous teacher.
You will benefit a lot from learning from these masters."
Song Mingyang had something strange in his mind. Tian Shao understood it in such detail, so he wanted to study abroad. However, thinking about what she had done, Song Mingyang didn't say much, and nodded, saying that he would definitely cherish such an opportunity.
After sending the two people away, Song Mingyang turned back.
Professor Song asked: "What did Xiao Shao say to you in the room just now?"
Song Mingyang didn't hide it from him, and said: "She gave me five thousand dollars, saying she didn't have to worry because she had money on hand."
Professor Song was startled: "Where did she get so many beautiful knives?"
Song Mingyang said with a smile: "Tian Shao went to Hong Kong City last month, and he should have redeemed it in Hong Kong City. Grandpa, don't worry, I just wrote the IOU, and I will return it to her later."
Professor Song nodded and said: "Mingyang, you must keep this kindness in mind from Xiao Pei and Xiao Tian."
