In the garden, Cai Yan and Tang Yin went home respectively with a touch of sadness.
But Tang Yin didn't feel any melancholy because he was full of confidence in the future.
That night, after going through the relevant discharge procedures and saying goodbye to Bai Xue, Tang Yin sat on the back seat of his father's Lao Yongheng bicycle and went home.
Walking on the familiar streets, the intertwined time and space made Tang Yin feel particularly illusory. Although people were passing by in a hurry, he always had the illusion that it was not reality but a dream.
At first he was afraid that this was a dream, but when he woke up it was all in vain. Fortunately, it was already the third day when he woke up. When he opened his eyes in the morning, he realized that everything was not a dream. He wanted to look up to the sky and shout: "I am Tang Yin.
It’s back again!”
Today, he specifically asked his father to come by bicycle instead of taking the bus. He just wanted to see the original ecological scenery of Cangshan City in the 1990s and so that he could fully integrate into this era.
In 1998, the urban area of Cangshan was less than 30 square kilometers, with underdeveloped industry and almost no achievements in urban construction. Apart from self-built commercial housing units, only Mingyueye Community was the latest development, the first high-end new commercial housing in Cangshan City.
.
The place where Tang Yin's family is located is the staff room of the daily chemical factory. This is the house that the family spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy the house the year before last. The 60-square-meter tube building will be placed ten years later.
, it is quite a humble dwelling.
At that time, my parents hesitated to buy this house.
On the one hand, Tang Yin's grades are too poor. If he wants to go to a good school, he has to pay a high price for tuition. On the other hand, if he doesn't take advantage of his work unit to build a house to buy it, and sees Tang Yin growing up day by day, how will he get the money?
How about financing a "new house" for him to get married in the future?
In the end, the super conservative parents unanimously decided to buy a house first and then find ways to raise money when Tang Yin was admitted to school.
It's not completely unreasonable for them to be so conservative. The main reason is that Tang Yin's performance has always been the same as his height, and he is a miserable person who can't stand on the stage.
With Tang Yin's grades, if you want to be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School, unless the sun rises from the west. Since there is no hope of getting into a good high school, let alone a good university or a good job. Without these foundations, buying a house in advance is just a matter of time.
The main choice.
Indeed, in the memory of Tang Yin's high school entrance examination, he was more than 180 points away from the admission score of the city's No. 1 Middle School. In the end, he spent some money and reluctantly enrolled in Xiangyang Middle School, a third-rate high school.
What is the concept of more than 180 points?
If you have no idea about the score of 180 or so, just look at people’s disdainful eyes and you’ll get the idea. Of course, the disdainful people don’t include the parents who are close to you.
Tang Yin greeted familiar "strangers" along the street, but these old neighbors whose parents shared the same work unit were all more than ten years younger, which made him feel a little strange and awkward.
These "old neighbors" were very surprised when Tang Yin took the initiative to say hello. In the past, Tang Yin always walked with his head down and rarely paid attention to others!
Tang Yin could understand people's strange looks, after all, he was not a polite person at that time.
When he walked into the front door of his house in Tongzilou, Tang Yin's eyes felt wet for no reason. In his memory, the family had always lived in this low and crowded Tongzilou and had never bought a new house.
This is mainly because Tang Yin’s grades are not good and he has been studying at high prices. The family has no money left at all. What’s more, both parents work in a daily chemical factory and their income is very limited?
As soon as he entered the house, Tang's mother, Qiao Qiumei, wearing an apron, rushed over and hugged Tang Yin's thin shoulders, her eyes were wet, and her expression was full of nervousness.
"Oh!... Yin'er, I made some chicken soup to replenish your body. You have an exam soon. It's hard for your body not to replenish your body."
Qiao Qiumei has been worried about it in the past few days. She is about to take the high school entrance examination. But at this critical moment, her son Tang Yin was suddenly hospitalized. Fortunately, it was finally discovered that Tang Yin was not seriously ill, otherwise she would not know how sad she would be.
.
His mother's words shook Tang Yi's whole body. He instantly felt a lump in his throat. He remembered his mother being like this, wanting to cut off the flesh from her body and give it to him to eat.
It's a pity that during those young and frivolous years, he couldn't understand the deep meaning of his parents at all, and he was very rebellious in his words and deeds, which broke the hearts of his parents.
This also gradually caused symptoms such as malnutrition and low blood sugar. As a result, his height as an adult was only about 1.7 meters, which made him far from being tall and handsome.
Tang Yin secretly decided that since he was back, he should live a good life. Although he was not famous all over the world, he should at least be worthy of himself, his parents, and all those who cared about and loved him, and he also cared about his closest relatives.
people.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too. But you and dad also have to accompany your son to eat. It won't taste good if you let me eat alone!" If you want to change yourself, you must first start with your thoughts. At this moment, Tang Yin took
Treat everything around you with a grateful heart.
Qiao Qiumei stared at her precious son Tang Yin in surprise. She felt that her son was a little strange, but she couldn't tell where it was. But she was keenly aware that her son was indeed different from before, as if he had changed.
.
Soon, my mother returned shortly after leaving, holding a steaming bowl of silky chicken soup in her hand.
Tang Yin did not go to the bedroom to eat, but ate with his parents in the living room.
Sure enough, as Tang Yin expected, what was hidden at the bottom of his bowl were chicken viscera and thighs, while his parents' bowls were full of skeletons. He evened out some chicken and gave it to his parents, and ate it himself.
Got up.
——However, as he drank the fragrant and warm chicken soup, big tears fell into the bowl. He wanted to hold it back but couldn't.
In my memory, my parents have always been like this, taking care of themselves with all their love. They gave all their hard work in their lives, paid high school fees, bought a house, etc. for themselves, but they never consumed it.
In fact, even if they didn't say it, Tang Yin also understood that when his parents bought the Tongzi House, they hoped that after they had a house, they could find a decent wife and start a family. Unfortunately, until he had been working for many years, he was still a bachelor.
This reminded Tang Yin of a touching story: There was an old man who was old and suffered from amnesia. When his son knocked on the door, he said he didn't recognize him and refused to open the door. It turned out that what he was holding was a childhood photo of his son;
One time, the son brought the old man to a hotel banquet, but the old man reached out and took a few pumpkin cakes from the plate and put them in his pocket. The son asked the old man why in a hurry. The old man replied, "My son likes this the most. I want it."
Brought it home to my son to eat...
The old man forgot everything, but he did not forget his son. It was this incident that made Tang Yin suddenly realize: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support but cannot be kissed!" The meaning of this sentence
The true meaning. Gratitude spurred every cell in his body at that moment!
Tang Yin devoured three large bowls of rice, drank two large bowls of chicken soup, burped, and returned to his room in front of his parents' shocked eyes.
Both parents are 10 years younger. Although they have fine crow's feet at the corners of their eyes due to overwork, they still maintain a young and healthy body. There is also a beautiful yearning for the future between their eyebrows, which is not as good as in their memories.
haggard.
In my memory, my parents were sad, sad and depressed when they faced their own misfortunes again and again, but they never lost heart and used everything they had to protect Tang Yin as always.
But when faced with his repeated failures, the faces of those around him were ugly and their eyes were contemptuous. These were all vividly engraved in his mind.
In order to make his parents' life nourished and happy, in order to step on those he once despised, and to live up to his second life, Tang Yin began the final sprint for the high school entrance examination.
On the desk in the room, except for a few minor subjects that have been passed, all other main subjects are neatly stacked.
He put the schoolbag he brought home on the desk and took out the difficult knowledge test papers and information that Cai Yan brought him.
Looking at all the junior high school textbooks he had studied, Tang Yin not only smiled bitterly.
The protagonists of other people's time-travelling are all very good. They either create new worlds or change dynasties, or they are in the shopping mall and officialdom like a fish in water, but when they time-travel themselves, they have to repeat the exams that they failed in the past.
But since he wanted to change, he had to start from scratch. This was something he had already decided in the hospital. Tang Yin was not a person with huge ambitions. His biggest wish was that his family could live a safe and healthy life.
In the past few days, Cai Yan and Bai Xue have helped Tang Yin review the questions, but they are all basic questions and not comprehensive. The difficult questions Cai Yan brought today are the real essence.
These questions are indeed very difficult. They are the most typical types of questions selected by teachers from previous high school entrance examination questions. They are also specially prepared for top students like Cai Yan.
Teachers do not have any selfish motives for doing this. For students like Tang Yin, who cannot even solve basic questions, starting to solve difficult test questions is no different from seeking death.
After several days of high-intensity study consolidation, Tang Yin has completely entered the real learning state. At this time, he entered the problem-solving state very quickly without any sloppiness.
Returning here from the age of the information explosion, Tang Yin has learning and problem-solving methods that are far beyond this era. Once he really calms down, he no longer finds it difficult to understand, and the power he unleashes is also powerful.
This is a true portrayal of integrating theory with practice. I have practiced it in life, but now I go back to study theory. It is not an ordinary positive energy.
Tang Yin stayed up late at night to read, which surprised his parents.
According to his usual habits, Tang Yin would either dominate the TV at this time, or sneak out of the house to play games with friends, and even euphemistically called it: combining work and rest, big exams, big fun, small exams, small fun. Anyway, from now on
I have never gone into my room alone to read at night after dinner like today.
After the rescue incident, Tang Yin suddenly seemed like a different person, which surprised and confused his parents.
