A middle-aged woman poked her head out from the door, wearing a floral apron. Although she was middle-aged, she had a beautiful face. She was Shen Dapeng's mother, Liu Fengyun.
When Shen Dapeng saw his mother for the first time, his heartbeat quietly stopped and his breathing became stagnant!
He covered his heart and squeezed it hard a few times before his heartbeat resumed, and took a deep breath to make his stuffy chest feel better.
Seeing Shen Dapeng looking at him blankly, a smile appeared on Liu Fengyun's face: "Dapeng, why did you come back so late? Did you get into trouble again and was caught by your father?"
"No, this kid was chatting with his classmates downstairs. I happened to come back and saw him, so I called him up!"
Shen Haitao didn't want Liu Fengyun to know about his son's beating, otherwise he would nag him endlessly, so he lied casually and winked at Shen Dapeng.
"Ah, yes, that guy Li Zeyu dragged me and refused to let me go home!"
Shen Dapeng sniffed hard for a few times, and the strong smell of rice came through. His eyes suddenly glowed green, and he licked his lips: "Mom, what delicious food did you make again? It's so delicious?"
"Your favorite braised fat-headed fish, hurry into the house, wash your hands and eat, otherwise it will be fishy after a while!"
Liu Fengyun turned around and went to work in the kitchen.
Shen Haitao and Shen Dapeng went inside and washed their hands, then sat down at the dinner table and waited.
"Lao Shen, how is the election for that position in your unit going?"
Liu Fengyun was busy preparing bowls and chopsticks, serving rice, and then sat down at the table. The first thing she did was to pick a piece of white meat from the belly of the fish, pick out the fish bones, and put them into Shen Dapeng's bowl.
Shen Haitao ate a big meal and responded casually: "If you fail, I will probably go to the county appearance management brigade! Don't you always hope that I can have some time off? I guess I will be completely free this time!"
Shen Dapeng didn't interrupt and just ate his own meal. Do you still want to have some leisure time? After the merger of the county, sanitation, and urban construction, the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau was established. You will be busy!
"It doesn't matter if you fail, you are already in your forties, so it's so nice to be able to work free of charge! My son will also go to college next year, and we, the old couple, still have to depend on each other!"
Thinking that Shen Dapeng would leave her side when he went to college next year, Liu Fengyun's face showed a little reluctance and helplessness.
"Going to college is a good thing, why are you looking like that?"
Shen Haitao glanced at Liu Fengyun and threw his chopsticks on the table, not only to vent his anguish of failure in the job competition, but also to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Fengyun: "When your child grows up, you have to let him go out and explore. If the eagle does not fall from the cliff,
How to become an eagle soaring in the nine heavens?"
"Yes, that's a good thing. When my son is admitted to a prestigious university, he will be proud of his family!"
Liu Fengyun picked out another piece of fish, but she still didn't want to eat it, so she put it into Shen Dapeng's bowl again.
Shen Dapeng used the dim light above his head to look at the loving smile on his mother's face. Even though there were a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he still couldn't hide the beauty of a mature woman.
It is so different from the image I have in my mind of working hard for my family and having nearly half of my hair gray in my forties!
Shen Dapeng felt very uncomfortable when he heard his parents nagging about their daily routine.
Back then, he was only admitted to a junior college, which disappointed his parents. Now that he has the opportunity to come back this time, he will never miss it again!
"Mom, I'm full, I'm going to do my homework!"
After taking two quick bites of rice and stuffing his mouth full, Shen Dapeng ran towards his bedroom without looking back. His mouth was bulging, but two lines of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, with a bitter taste...
Back in the room, Shen Dapeng sat on his single bed, looking at Nicholas Tse's promotional posters on the wall that were bleached by the sun, in a daze.
Among the messy pirated tapes on the Sony WALKMAN player, there are one or two expensive "imported editions" mixed in. The few pieces of printing paper scattered on the bedside are Cai Jun's "viruses" printed under the banyan tree.
Familiar and unfamiliar memories intertwined in Shen Dapeng's mind at this moment. His childhood idol and favorite writer had not been cared about for more than ten years.
Suddenly, without knowing where the energy came from, Shen Dapeng rushed to the desk, took out all the textbooks from his schoolbag, and started to read.
When I was divided into arts and sciences classes in my second year of high school, my foundation in chemistry and biology was really poor and I couldn't get into it.
Compared to precise calculations in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, he would rather memorize liberal arts knowledge points, especially since he was particularly interested in history and geography, so he finally chose liberal arts.
There are a total of six subjects in the liberal arts examination, including three major subjects including mathematics, history and geography, and liberal arts.
Shen Dapeng has been interested in history and geography before, so many things are deeply impressed in his mind. He only needs a little review!
As for English, after all, he was a white-collar businessman in his previous life. He can’t say that he is guaranteed to pass the CET-6 exam, but communicating with foreigners will definitely not be a problem!
In the high school English test, there were only a few types of grammar, and it was not difficult for him to accumulate vocabulary.
As for Chinese, what matters is the perception and understanding of words. He has lived two lifetimes, is his understanding ability still inferior to that of a teenage high school student?
What's more, when I work in Sanlitun, I often have to organize various documents and submit various reports, so my writing skills are naturally not a problem.
After some calculations, only mathematics and politics were somewhat difficult. Shen Dapeng was not proficient in science and arithmetic. In his previous life, he only took a college entrance examination because he only scored more than 40 points in mathematics.
And after so many years, many calculation formulas have long been forgotten. Even if he went to college, the exercises in the books are still as big as two heads.
Although politics is not that difficult, everything needs to be memorized by rote, and you also need to have an understanding of current affairs. I can see the current affairs thoroughly, but there are so many things that need to be memorized in books, and I am afraid that I will not be able to really understand them in a while.
Can't remember everything.
"call……"
Shen Dapeng sighed heavily and put aside his politics and mathematics textbooks. He might as well review the subjects that he has an advantage in first. With the impression in his mind, he can learn faster.
In fact, Shen Dapeng underestimated himself. Although the knowledge points were familiar and unfamiliar, he got started quickly. After all, he had the knowledge memory of a junior college. It was really easy to look back at the things in high school, but why did it feel so difficult in the first place?
Inadvertently, the moon and stars were already shining outside the window, and the two family buildings were already dark. Only Shen Dapeng's room was still dimly lit.
"Hey, why is the light still on in Dapeng's room? The little brat must have fallen asleep and forgot to turn it off. What a waste..."
Shen Haitao got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found that the light was still on inside Shen Dapeng's ajar door. He was about to push the door open and turn off the light, but saw his son immersed in reading through the crack in the door. He was speechless for a moment!
In the corridor before, although Shen Dapeng said he wanted to get into a good university, Shen Haitao didn't take it seriously at all. But now it seems... his son has changed!
The corners of Shen Haitao's mouth raised slightly, and he murmured with great relief: "It seems that my son has really grown up!"
