Wen Ying took her eyes away from Aunt Wu and stared at Chen Ru with her eyes blankly.
Chen Ru pulled her sleeves and whispered: "After a while, Aunt Wu asked you if you like Magic City and if you want to go to Magic City to study in college, just say you like it! Show me how excited you were when you got off the plane yesterday.
Take a look at it, Aunt Wu, do you understand?"
Wen Ying's eyelids moved, and she somewhat guessed the purpose of tonight's dinner.
Wu Chunqin came closer, and Chen Ru tried her best to smile tenderly:
"This is my mother's classmate. You should call her Aunt Wu."
She usually seems to be smarter, but if she can't get on the stage at this time, Chen Ru will be stunned to death.
Chen Ru's tone was rare and gentle, which shocked Wen Ying back to her senses, and she obediently called "Aunt Wu".
It’s good for a woman to be rich and she can spend money and energy on maintenance. Aunt Wu in 2005 doesn’t look much different from Aunt Wu in 2014.
Wen Ying knew that her rebirth had changed many things. She was able to meet and become friends with Xie Qian in advance, so it was not surprising that she met "Aunt Wu" nine years in advance.
She just didn't expect that Aunt Wu would be her mother's old classmate.
Time and space are intertwined, and Wen Ying is a little confused.
Her heart felt as if it had been hit by a blunt object. It wasn't pain, but it was sore that it was unspeakable.
Wu Chunqin looked Wen Ying up and down. The little girl's back was straight and her shoulders were open, which gave her a good first impression.
Chen Ru has been trapped in a small place for half her life, and she should have spent a lot of energy on raising children. Marrying early or marrying late are both personal choices. No matter which one you choose, you should run a good business. If you don't rely on both, your career
There is no development, and the family management is in a mess. In middle age, the frustration can make people depressed.
"Get in the car quickly and pick you two up for dinner."
Wu Chunqin took the initiative to take Chen Ru's arm and placed Wen Ying and Chen Ru in the back seats, while she took the passenger seat.
Wu Chunqin has a car, but she didn't drive today and took a taxi.
She wasn't here to show off in front of her old classmates. Taking a taxi in Shanghai was quite convenient. She could stop at any time, so she didn't have to drive herself. She could also have a drink with Chen Ru while eating.
Along the way, Wu Chunqin was very enthusiastic and asked Wen Ying many things, including the new concept essay contest and Wen Ying's usual results.
After hearing that Ying told her about the school she attended, Wu Chunqin kept praising Wen Ying.
"Sakura is better than when we were in school before. This school is a good choice."
Rongcheng Province focuses on famous middle schools in the southwest region. Wu Chunqin heard about it from Chen Ru yesterday. Today, she wanted to ask Wen Ying again just to see what Wen Ying would answer.
Wen Ying was not talking about the provincial key enrollment rate, but the school's teaching atmosphere, which encourages students to innovate and practice social practice. Whether it is supporting a few students to start their own business during the summer vacation or carrying out various activities, it is very training.
During this kind of conversation, when they arrived at the restaurant where Wu Chunqin was entertaining guests, the communication between Wu Chunqin and Wen Ying no longer felt unfamiliar.
In a short period of time, Wu Chunqin's affection for Wen Ying deepened.
I don’t know why, but the rhythm of Wen Ying’s words and her thinking struck a chord with Wu Chunqin.
This little girl seems to know herself very well.
Wu Chunqin would not think of such things as "rebirth", she attributed it to fate.
When I was studying, there were eight people in a dormitory, and Wu Chunqin and Chen Ru had the best relationship.
Although we haven't seen each other for so many years, the old friendship is still there, and she also likes Chen Ru's daughter!
During the meal, Wu Chunqin didn't say anything serious. When the meal was almost done, she suddenly asked Wen Ying: "You participated in the New Concept Essay Contest. Do you already have your favorite university? Do you want to come to Shanghai to study?"
As expected, Wu Chunqin asked Wen Ying if she wanted to go to Shanghai to study in college.
Wen Ying thought of Chen Ru's explanation just now, and thought of Wu Chunqin's background, and immediately guessed what Chen Ru wanted to do.
Her mother wants to follow Aunt Wu's path and use the opportunity of the New Concept Essay Contest to get her into the university where Aunt Wu's husband is?
Chen Ru didn't explain clearly because Chen Ru couldn't guess that Wen Ying would know Wu Chunqin or even know Wu Chunqin's family background!
Precisely because she understood Chen Ru's plan, Wen Ying did not want Wu Chunqin to misunderstand.
In Chen Ru's vaguely expectant eyes, Wen Ying shook her head:
"Aunt Wu, the New Concept Essay Contest is just my interest. I will not pin my future on one competition. It has nothing to do with which university I want to enter. I am only a freshman in high school and have two and a half years to go.
You can work hard, I like the city very much, but if you want to come to the city to study in college, I can't tell you yet."
Reducing admission scores was just an excuse used by Wen Ying to seek Chen Ru's consent.
Wen Ying was really not willing to take the route of lowering her score and enrolling in a prestigious school.
Most of the prestigious schools that admit first-prize winners through the New Concept Essay Contest by lowering their scores allow the winners to study in the Chinese Department.
Wen Ying has no objection to the Chinese Department. She even dreamed of studying the Chinese Department in her previous life, but Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong disagreed.
At that time, Wen Ying thought that by studying Chinese, she could become a writer and engage in writing work. Now of course she knows that is not the case. No matter what major she majors in, it will not affect her writing.
Writing is a person's desire to talk from the heart, and it has little to do with whether he has studied Chinese or not. If a person really likes writing, he can write regardless of age, occupation, or under any circumstances.
Wu Chunqin looked at Wen Ying, then at Chen Ru, but said nothing for a while.
So has Chen Ru ever mentioned it to her daughter?
It should have never been mentioned.
Parents usually do things like this behind their backs and don't tell their children.
But after hearing Sakura's words, it seemed that he already understood the meaning behind this meal.
——I wanted to help, but was rejected?!
Wen Ying's words made Chen Ru anxious. She wanted to kick Wen Ying under the table, but she was afraid that Wu Chunqin would notice the noise, so she smiled dryly and glared at Wen Ying:
"There is a reduced score admission, why not? This is the reward you deserve for participating in the competition."
"It also depends on whether I like the school and the major. I can't just lower my scores. I should also go to schools I don't like. Admission with lower scores is a safe bet, not my first choice... The premise is that I have to
Get the first prize first.”
Wen Ying told the truth, and Chen Ru was very angry.
like or not?
Chen Ru didn't think she could pass the college where Wu Chunqin's husband went to by relying on Wen Ying to take the exam.
Don't say whether you like it or not. People are willing to lower their scores for admission, so Wen Ying shouldn't be picky!
I like having a shit to use!
When looking for a job after graduating from college in the future, what employers will consider is not your hobby, but whether the brand of the school you graduated from is strong enough.
Chen Ru could hardly hold back the smile on her face and regretted not explaining the purpose of the meal to Wen Ying in advance.
I lowered my face and asked for help, but was ruined by this stinky girl.
The atmosphere between mother and daughter was a little tense, but Wu Chunqin smiled and smoothed things over:
"This girl of yours is very ambitious. It's quite simple, but it's complicated for us adults."
Wu Chunqin comforted Chen Ru, then turned to Wen Ying to confirm, "Do you really know what you are doing? Auntie, tell you the truth, you have a chance to go to a prestigious school, but if you don't need it, this opportunity may
It falls on other people. It is a good thing to be ambitious, but I am afraid that if you do not do well in the college entrance examination in the future, you will regret it when you think about what happened today."
Of course Wu Chunqin was willing to respect Wen Ying's choice.
Even if her husband is in college, to do this, he has to ask for favors. It's not like Qingpiaopiao will give the first prize to Wen Ying as soon as he opens his mouth, or even if Wen Ying wins the first prize, it won't necessarily
Being able to meet the admission conditions of the school - what Wu Chunqin was able to do was to give priority to Wen Ying when she met the basic conditions.
After meeting with Chen Ru yesterday, Wu Chunqin was thinking about this matter and went home to ask her husband's opinion.
The husband did not refuse, but asked her to see how the child was doing first.
If you don't have any problems yourself and you are considered one of the better ones among your peers, it doesn't matter if you help someone else.
If you are impatient, just take a shortcut to get into a prestigious school. If you want to help, you must be cautious.
Based on the current situation of Chen Ru and his wife, Wu Chunqin really wanted to help out of past friendship, not because she expected Chen Ru to repay her with anything.
Judging from the dimensions of social status, career height and income, everyone is no longer in the same class. Chen Ru is unable to repay Wu Chunqin.
When we met today, Wu Chunqin could tell that Chen Ru had educated her daughter well. Although Wen Ying grew up in a small city in the southwest, she was independent-minded and not petty at all. She was someone who could help the group develop more in the future.
Wu Chunqin was not annoyed, she was even a little happy.
It is certainly a good thing for young people to be ambitious.
Wen Ying is very similar to Chen Ru when she was young. Chen Ru would not accept others' kindness casually.
The difference is that when Chen Ru was young, she was tough in dealing with things and would never lower her face to ask for help. Wen Ying was ambitious, but she didn't have the hedgehog temper of Chen Ru. She could reject others without making them angry.
As a young man, if he has no ambition at all, Wu Chunqin won't like it.
It's just that Wen Ying is too young now, too young to have been severely beaten by society, so she doesn't know how much impact a higher starting point can have on a person's life.
Wu Chunqin gave up her teaching position in a university and resigned to start a company outside, but the academic path was not going to work.
Although she improved her academic qualifications after working, took postgraduate entrance examinations and studied for a Ph.D., and went from a factory to teaching in a university, it seemed that she had made up for the lack of her first academic qualifications, but that was not the case.
The barrier is there, invisible and intangible, but it is real.
Also, the years when she worked in the factory were a waste of the best years for Wu Chunqin.
If she stays in college, she will never be able to get in touch with the true inner circle, and she will not be able to do her best. Wu Chunqin's pride cannot accept "making do with it".
Wu Chunqin now has a new career and is considered a successful person in the eyes of others, but she also has regrets.
——If in high school, Wu Chunqin could have anticipated the difficulties of today and worked harder on her studies.
She can go to a bachelor's degree.
In school, I took the postgraduate entrance examination and studied for a Ph.D.
She doesn't have to waste such precious years!
She won't fall behind others.
Wu Chunqin sighed, "This kind of regret may not come after you take the college entrance examination, or even after graduating from college, but after... Xiaoying, you really have to think about it."
Wu Chunqin's words silenced Wen Ying and Chen Ru.
Wen Ying's silence was recalling her past life.
Since she refused to go back to her hometown to take the civil service examination and chose to work hard in Shanghai, she has been suffering, tired, and emotionally broken, but she has never regretted it.
Chen Ru's whole body felt like she was submerged in cold water.
Isn’t it Wu Chunqin who he is talking about?
That kind of regret is not after the college entrance examination or after graduating from college, but now!
