As soon as Wang Gang saw Zhao Meilan's face, he knew something must have happened at home.
In the TV series, it seems that Su Mingyu had a falling out with her family because of the college entrance examination.
"Didn't Mingyu get admitted to the local normal university? Doesn't she live at home?" Wang Gang asked Zhao Meilan tentatively.
"That damn girl has grown up and her wings have hardened. When she went to college, she moved out from home and lived in the school." Zhao Meilan seemed not to want to mention Su Mingyu, so she changed the topic:
"Mingcheng called back yesterday and said he would be back in the evening. He should be here soon."
Each of the three children of the Su family has good academic performance, let alone Wang Gang, a top student of Qinghua University, who graduated and studied in the United States, and is a proven academic master.
The second eldest child, Su Mingcheng, had good grades. He had a good chance of getting admitted to a university in the capital during the college entrance examination. However, Zhao Meilan loved Su Mingcheng too much and felt that studying abroad was too expensive, so she asked him to enroll in the best university in the capital. Normally
You can also come back on weekends.
The third child, Su Mingyu, had better academic performance than Su Mingcheng and could have gone to the best school in the country, but Zhao Meilan felt that it was useless for a girl to read so many books, and it was too expensive to train three college students.
In the end, Zhao Meilan privately enrolled Su Mingyu in a local normal university, with free tuition and a scholarship every year.
This was also the trigger for the breakup between Su Mingyu and Zhao Meilan.
Of course, Wang Gang also found that the world he lived in was somewhat different from the one in the TV series.
Take studying abroad as an example. In the TV series, Su Mingzhe took the exam for two years after graduating from college before passing the Stanford exam. He received a half scholarship, free tuition and paid for his own living expenses.
But according to Su Mingzhe's memory, Wang Gang found a study abroad agency as soon as he graduated from college and was admitted to Stanford as a graduate student. However, without a scholarship, tuition and living expenses were unavoidable, and he had to pay the agency a sum of money.
Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang sold Su Mingyu's room and took out all their savings to make up for Wang Gang's tuition for one year.
Wang Gang still felt very guilty about this, so even if he worked harder and studied part-time, he still had to send US$1,500 to the couple every month.
He hoped to buy back Su Mingyu's room.
"It's rare for me to come back once, and I don't know when I will come back next time. It's rare for the whole family to get together, so I called Mingyu back for a reunion." Wang Gang felt that as the eldest son of Su, he should do something.
But as soon as he said the words, he was stunned. When did he care about his family so much?
"It seems that Su Mingzhe's memory still has some influence on me? Is it the resentment of Su's eldest son?" Wang Gang lowered his head and thought deeply.
Zhao Meilan didn't see anything wrong with Wang Gang, and she felt in her heart that it was not easy for the family to get together now. She didn't know when the next time would be, so she could just call Su Mingyu back.
"I don't have that damn girl's phone number, your dad does." Zhao Meilan finally did not reject Wang Gang's proposal.
"Then when Dad comes back, I'll make a call." Wang Gang carried his luggage, walked into the house, and began to pack his luggage.
When he came back this time, he didn't plan to stay for a few days, so he didn't bring much luggage. It was mainly gifts from his family and things he needed to purchase on behalf of others.
Wang Gang plans to send out all the purchased items tomorrow and then notify the buyer to collect the balance.
As early as in the United States, Wu Fei gave him all the addresses on the list.
Su Daqiang quickly came back with some food, handed all the food and money to Zhao Meilan honestly, and then went into the house and gave Su Mingyu's phone number to Wang Gang.
"That girl Mingyu is living a very hard life now. She refuses to ask for money from the family and insists on working to earn living expenses. I secretly gave her some money some time ago, but she refused." Su Daqiang sighed.
"How could a family end up like this?" Wang Gang sighed.
"Mingyu and your mother have the same temper. They are both stubborn. Neither of them would find a way down the stairs, so they just froze there." Su Daqiang said.
"Dad, if you don't try to dissuade me, how can mother and daughter have an overnight feud?" Wang Gang said.
"How can I control your mother?" Su Daqiang said with some fear.
Wang Gang shook his head and dialed Su Mingyu's phone. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
"Mingyu may be working part-time and can't hear the phone ringing." Su Daqiang was also standing by the phone, wanting to hear his daughter's voice.
Wang Gang hung up the phone and played it again, but still no one answered.
Just then a voice came from outside.
"Mom, is brother back?"
"Your brother is in the house." Zhao Meilan replied.
A young man walked in from outside. When he saw Wang Gang, he happily called him brother.
He is Wang Gang's younger brother Su Mingcheng.
Su Ming grew up energetically and tall, but she had some acne on her face and her skin was not very good.
"Brother, when did you come back? Is America fun?"
Su Mingcheng, who was a foreign minister, kept asking Wang Gang so many questions that he couldn't make a phone call.
"I just arrived too. I went there to go to school and didn't have much time to play. If you have a chance, you and Mingyu should also go there." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"What are you going to do? Air tickets are so expensive." Zhao Meilan also entered the room at this time and happened to hear Wang Gang's words.
"Mom, I heard that my brother found a job there and can remit foreign currency back home every month. Is it true?" Su Mingcheng asked.
Zhao Meilan turned to Wang Gang and asked: "By the way, I was about to ask you, what kind of job do you do in the United States?"
Wang Gang thought for a moment and said, "I found a job as a cook near the school."
"Help in the kitchen?" Zhao Meilan asked in surprise: "You haven't touched Yang Chun Shui since you were a child, how can you cook?"
"Learn while cooking. Cooking is actually very simple. How about I show off my skills tonight." Wang Gang stood up and said.
"Pull him down! It's not easy for you to come back, and I can still make you work." Zhao Meilan turned to Su Daqiang and said:
"Su Daqiang, why are you sitting there! Why don't you cook for me?"
Su Daqiang shrank his neck and whispered: "It's a rare time for my son to come back, and he won't let me chat with him."
"After eating and washing the dishes, it's time for you to chat." Zhao Meilan said angrily.
Su Daqiang had no choice but to stand up, take the food from Zhao Meilan's hand, and walk to the kitchen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Gang stood up and wanted to help, but Su Mingcheng held him back.
"Brother, tell me quickly, how is it in the United States? Is it very developed? I heard that girls there don't even wear clothes when they go out on the street. Is it true?"
Wang just smiled and said: "There is no one who goes out on the street without clothes. Foreigners should be more open-minded and wear cooler clothes, but it's not like they are naked."
Su Mingcheng touched the back of his head and said, "It's very easy to make money over there with swords! I heard that every household has a car."
Wang Gang explained: “The wages there are higher than in China, but the pressure of life is also quite high. Most families have cars, but most of them are second-hand cars or classic cars. It is normal for a car to be driven for more than ten or twenty years.
"
Su Mingcheng asked: "Brother, how much can you earn per month, and how much can I earn if I go to the United States?"
Wang Gang finally heard that Su Mingcheng was so enthusiastic and had the idea of studying abroad.
"You also want to study abroad?" Wang Gang asked.
Su Mingcheng said a little embarrassedly: "Several of my classmates have gone out."
"Have you passed the TOEFL or IELTS?" Wang Gang asked.
Su Mingcheng blushed and said, "I passed the exam, but failed, so my mother never let me take the exam again. She said the registration fee was too expensive and it would be a waste of money if I took the exam again."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then there's nothing you can do. Foreign countries mainly look at these two scores. If you don't do well in the exam, you won't be able to get out."
Su Mingcheng asked eagerly: "Brother, how did you pass the exam? Do you have any tips?"
"There is no secret, just learn hard and practice your spoken English more. It is very important during interviews." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"It's English again! I hate learning English the most." Su Mingcheng said.
"Your English is not good and you still want to study abroad?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.
"Didn't I hear that if you go abroad for gold plating, it will be easier to find a job when you return home?" Su Mingcheng said sheepishly.
Wang Gang sighed and said: "If you are doing it for work, you might as well consider taking the postgraduate entrance examination at home. Going abroad may not be suitable for you."
"Go abroad, who wants to go abroad!" Zhao Meilan walked in again and said to Su Mingcheng: "Su Mingcheng, let me tell you, you are not material for studying abroad. Just stay at home and find a job."
Su Mingcheng stood up, hugged Zhao Meilan and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm just saying, if you really ask me to leave you, I won't be able to bear it."
Zhao Meilan was so coaxed that she said, "Hurry and wash your hands. We will eat when your father is ready."
Wang Gang held the phone and said, "Mom, I haven't contacted Mingyu yet. She didn't answer the phone."
Su Mingcheng complained: "What are you doing contacting that white-eyed wolf? She didn't regard herself as a Su family member after she went to college."
"Mingcheng, how can any brother say that about his sister?" Wang Gang said with some displeasure.
Zhao Meilan snorted coldly: "No more contact, let's eat first and get together again when we have a chance!"
The words of Zhao Meilan of the Su family were imperial edicts. Wang Gang could not contact Su Mingyu, so he had no choice but to give up.
