Back in the courtyard, Lin Dongzhe still couldn't hide the smile on his face. After seeing Xiang Pengfei and Zhuang Xiaoting, he immediately shared with them the news that he was going to Shanghai.
Xiang Pengfei was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Ah, if you all go, then I will be left alone at home."
Seeing his lonely look, Huang Ling couldn't bear it: "Pengfei, let's go together, and let your uncle buy the tickets later."
"Oh, I can go to Shanghai too. I haven't been to Shanghai yet. Lin Dongzhe, is Shanghai fun..."
Zhuang Xiaoting had not been to Shanghai either, so she followed Lin Dongzhe to the back room to discuss where she should go to Shanghai on New Year's Day.
Huang Ling looked at the backs of the three children playing, turned to Song Ying and smiled: "Didn't you say that Lin Dongzhe's grades plummeted last time and you wanted to teach him a lesson? Why can't you let him go and take him to Shanghai to play?
Son."
Song Ying sat next to Huang Ling and sighed: "That was the original plan, but Haozi was right just now, taking Lin Dongzhe to the university to let him experience the atmosphere of a top university in advance, maybe it can inspire him to study
enthusiasm.”
"Well, that makes sense. When Tunan and Haozi went to No. 1 Middle School, Shanshan also wanted to pass the No. 1 Middle School. If Lao Wu hadn't changed her choice, Shanshan might also have to take the college entrance examination next year."
"Oh, what a pity for this child Shanshan." Song Ying sighed.
Huang Ling wiped her hands and asked eagerly: "Did Haozi talk about Tunan? How are they doing in college? Tunan, this kid, always reports good things but not bad things..."
Song Ying covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't worry, I've asked for you. Tunan is doing well in college and adapting quickly. But he has to learn painting from scratch. Haozi said that he would practice in the dormitory for an hour every night.
I have used several bundles of pencils, and now my drawing level can keep up with the average level of the class."
"That's good, that's good, well, if I had known that I would have to learn painting in college, I should have found an art teacher for Tunan to learn from." Huang Ling breathed a sigh of relief but also blamed herself.
Song Ying held Huang Ling's hand: "Sister Ling, don't take everything on yourself. Tunan decided to take the architecture major just before the college entrance examination. Where do you know where to go? You never know."
When Song Ying said this, Huang Ling also laughed: "That's right."
The waiting days are always long, and the next two weeks are simply torture for Lin Dongzhe, so much so that he has lost interest in doing anything in the past two weeks, not even going to his favorite video hall.
Fortunately, the 1983 calendar on the wall has finally ended its mission, and the new year 1984 has opened its arms to Lin Dongzhe.
Early in the morning, Lin Dongzhe, who had always stayed in bed, jumped out of bed and provided "morning service" to Lin Wufeng and Song Ying.
"Lin Dongzhe, are you itchy? It's only half past six, and the train is at nine o'clock. Why are you in a hurry?"
Song Ying huddled in bed and cursed.
Lin Wufeng was a little dazed in his sleep, so he took a pillow and drove Lin Dongzhe away, but he couldn't sleep at all, so he had to get up and wash up.
Song Ying was making breakfast while yawning. Upon seeing this, Huang Ling joked: "Did you talk to Lin Gong again last night... Aren't you afraid of giving Lin Dongzhe another younger brother or sister?"
"Sister Ling..." Song Ying rarely blushed with embarrassment, but she quickly said: "Wufeng's factory has strict family planning inspections. Last year, he went to have a sterilization, saying that it was sabotaging the family planning policy. From now on, his professional title will be
, the promotion of outstanding and advanced workers will be affected.”
"Is it that serious?"
"So Sister Ling, you have to be careful. It's best to ask Teacher Zhuang to have a sterilization too, lest Tunan comes home with more brothers and sisters one day." Song Ying said half-jokingly.
Huang Ling lowered her voice and said, "That's not necessary. Chaoying and I are now comrades sleeping on the same bed. We no longer have those messy thoughts."
"In addition, last year because of Pengfei's incident, he turned sideways when sleeping, for fear of touching me."
Song Ying felt a little distressed: "Ah, Sister Ling, aren't you a widow? Why is Teacher Zhuang like this?"
"Actually, I don't entirely blame him. In the past, the house was too small and it was inconvenient to have the children around. But as time went by, I got used to it. If he wanted to touch me, I still felt uncomfortable. I was fine by myself.
, Qingjing." Huang Ling has completely looked away.
"Then Sister Ling, you don't want to..."
"Hey, what's there to think about when you're old? I'm not like you who dress yourself up every day. No wonder Lin Gong can't control it."
The two were laughing and joking, and the scale of their jokes was getting bigger and bigger. If Lin Dongzhe hadn't kept shouting about being hungry, Song Ying would have almost forgotten that they were going to Shanghai today.
After breakfast, Lin Wufeng took Lin Dongzhe, Zhuang Chaoying, Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei to the train station.
When they arrived at the train station, there was still a sea of people. Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng wanted to tie Xiang Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe to their waistbands. These two were fearless. They didn't even look at adults when walking. If they saw anything new, they would go over to take a look. If
If you don't pay close attention, no one will be seen in a blink of an eye.
Song Ying secretly complained to Lin Wufeng: "If Dongzhe is the flying monkey, Pengfei is the monkey, more playful than Lin Dongzhe."
"They are evenly matched."
"No, Pengfei is more naughty than Dongzhe." Song Ying stared at her son for a while, feeling that her son was more pleasing to the eye.
Lin Wufeng smiled bitterly: "Don't point at the crow and say that the pig is black. You should think of a way to subdue your son."
"I have no choice. I have used all the methods I should use. I can only hope that this trip to Shanghai will be effective." Song Ying felt tired for a while.
In 1984, the speed of the train was improved compared to before. This time when he arrived in Shanghai, Lin Wufeng clearly felt that the station time was much shorter.
"Wow, this is Shanghai, there are so many people."
Standing outside the Shanghai Railway Station, I expressed my heartfelt emotions to Pengfei.
"Don't be stupid, get on the bus quickly, the bus won't be crowded for a while." Lin Dongzhe pulled him and ran to the bus stop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Dongzhe, please slow down."
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying could only catch up with Zhuang Xiaoting. Fortunately, they only came here for two days, so they brought some changes of personal clothes and not much luggage, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with these two flying monkeys.
After finally squeezing into the bus, Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying quickly held down the two flying monkeys.
"If you run around again, I'll send you home."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei were then obedient.
As they were going up and down in the bus, Xiang Pengfei suddenly said to Lin Dongzhe: "If I get rich in the future, I will buy a bus, and every person who comes up will pay me. How much money will I make along the way?"
Lin Dongzhe thought for a moment: "Does it cost money for us to sit there?"
"You, Aunt Song, Uncle Lin, uncle and aunt, Brother Hao, Tunan, and Xiaoting don't need any money. I can even drive you to play on Sunday."
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying didn't take Xiang Pengfei's words to heart, they just thought they were said casually by a child.
Finally, the bus stopped at the entrance of Tongji University, and Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei rushed off like wild horses that had escaped the reins.
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying were blocked by the crowd and couldn't get out for a while. They were so anxious that they were sweating.
Fortunately, through the car window, they saw the brothers being intercepted by Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan, one on the left and the other on the right, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Hao, I miss you so much. Why didn't you come home to see us during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Lin Dongzhe complained in a resentful tone, with an expression of being abandoned at first and finally abandoned on his face.
Qin Hao patted his back: "I also spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, how can I come back?"
"Ah, you went to Beijing again? Are you going to participate in a Go competition?"
"It's not a competition, it's a training camp."
While they were talking, Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying had already squeezed out of the car with Zhuang Xiaoting, and they glared at the two sky monkeys.
"Haozi, Tunan, you have to take good care of Dongzhe and Pengfei this time. If you are not at home, they will both be in trouble."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei immediately lowered their heads and looked at each other, saying: How come they are still complaining when they are so old?
Zhuang Tunan caught Xiang Pengfei and gave him a scolding. Qin Hao said to Lin Wufeng: "Uncle Lin, let me take you for a walk. When you are tired of shopping, you can eat directly in the school. Tongji's canteen is the best in Shanghai.
They are all famous."
"Yes, we eat at Tongji. Dad, our food is so good. Look at me, I've become fat." Zhuang Tunan echoed.
Lin Wufeng looked at the gate of Tongji and said with emotion: "Children, you have caught up with a good era. When I was admitted to college, I only took one year of classes, and then it was all messy things...
"
"Okay, Lin Gong, don't lament. You have gone to college after all. I haven't even seen anything like a college." Zhuang Chaoying couldn't wait any longer. The most regretful thing in his life was that he never went to college.
The group entered the campus chatting and laughing. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan first took them around the school building, and then took them to the library.
"There are many students reviewing in the library. When you go in later, try not to make too much noise to disturb others," Zhuang Tunan reminded.
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying quickly signaled the two flying monkeys to be quiet with their eyes, and the latter two quickly nodded obediently.
After entering the library, Qin Hao waved to Lin Dongzhe, and Lin Dongzhe quickly followed him.
Qin Hao said to Lin Wufeng: "Uncle Lin, please take your time for a walk. I'll talk to Lin Dongzhe for a while."
"Okay, you go ahead." Lin Wufeng
When they came to a deserted corner, before Qin Hao could speak, Lin Dongzhe said first: "Brother Hao, you won't be like my parents and persuade me to study hard and work hard to get into college, right?"
Qin Hao smiled: "Whether you want to go to college or not is your own business. Neither I nor Aunt Song and Uncle Lin can make the decision for you."
Qin Hao then patted Lin Dongzhe on the shoulder: "Since you were a child, you have always been smart and know what you are doing. When other children of the same age still ask their parents for money, you have learned to use the money from selling scraps.
I’m going to rent a book about villains.”
Lin Dongzhe was a little embarrassed by Qin Hao's praise.
Qin Hao continued: "Do you still remember the comics I brought you before?"
"Of course I remember that Doraemon."
"Then did you know that it was not only a comic book, but also a cartoon and even a movie, which earned 1.56 billion yen at the box office, equivalent to 90 million yuan."
Lin Dongzhe was stunned by the sudden news.
"So, I never think that reading little books is not a good job, but I think it is necessary to give you a new understanding of the world."
"Since childhood, we have all lived in the family alley of the cotton spinning factory, so the people you have seen since childhood are uncles and aunts in the alley. In your perception, college students are not necessarily that great. Uncle Lin is a college student. Song
Auntie only went to junior high school, but their salaries are similar, and Auntie Song has the final say in the family, right?"
Seeing that his little thoughts were revealed, Lin Dongzhe scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Times have changed. The days when college students have the same status and salaries as junior high school students are about to go away forever. Lin Dongzhe If you only go to a technical technical school, your world will only be as big as the family alley of a cotton spinning factory in the future, but if you work hard
Admitted to college, you
The world is not limited to Suzhou and Shanghai. You can even go abroad to see the snow scene in Hokkaido, Japan, go to Africa to see lions and elephants dancing, go to New Zealand to see whales jumping out of the water, and witness with your own eyes the things you only read about in textbooks and on TV.
A wonder that can only be seen from the top.”
Qin Hao's tone was very soft, but it was like there was a kind of magic power. The string deep in Lin Dongzhe's heart was severely plucked. He unconsciously sketched the pictures Qin Hao painted in his mind, but found that those pictures were blurry.
Qing, this made Lin Dongzhe realize that he could not imagine the scenery he had never seen before.
"Lin Dongzhe, Wu Shanshan, do you still remember?"
Lin Dongzhe didn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Wu Shanshan liked Zhuang Tunan before, but look at it now, is there any communication between her and Zhuang Tunan?"
Qin Hao paused and continued: "If you fail to pass the No. 1 middle school entrance examination, then you will also be separated from Xiaoting. In the future, if you go to a technical school and Xiaoting goes to university, you will have to wait for her to come home during the Chinese New Year before you can be with her.
Say a few words, and you will soon find that there are big differences between what you say and what you think."
"Over time, you will gradually grow apart, just like Wu Shanshan and Zhuang Tunan."
Lin Dongzhe stood there blankly, at a loss, and his mind was full of images of meeting Zhuang Xiaoting again and saying hello from afar.
"Lin Dongzhe, the road is at your feet. The choice is yours. But one thing you have to remember is that everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices. Don't wait until the day you regret it in the future before blaming others."
Lin Dongzhe trembled all over, and when he raised his head again, there was no confusion in his eyes.
"Brother Hao, I understand, I will study hard and get into college!"
"Well, I believe you can do it."
By the time Qin Hao brought Lin Dongzhe to the library exit, Zhuang Tunan had already taken Lin Wufeng and the others around the library.
Lin Wufeng looked at Qin Hao nervously, his eyes full of earnestness. Qin Hao nodded to him calmly. Lin Wufeng took a deep breath and showed a relieved smile on his face.
At the same time, he was also very curious about what Qin Hao said to Lin Dongzhe. He and Song Ying usually talked so much that it was useless.
