Chapter 1083 Lin Dongzhe, Times Have Changed
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 the news with them that he was going to Shanghai.
Xiang Pengfei was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Ah, 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 to go in 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. He took 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 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 smiled softly: "Don't worry, I have asked for you. Tunan is doing well in college and adapting quickly. But he has to learn painting from scratch. Haozi said that he will practice in the dormitory for an hour every night. I have used several bundles of pencils, and my drawing skills are now on par with the average level of the class.”
"That's good, that's good. Oh, 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 torturous 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 feeling 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. Huang Ling saw this and 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 , outstanding advanced workers, and promotions 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, it's not entirely his fault. Before, 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 didn't feel comfortable. I was fine by myself. , Qing Jing." 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 of them laughed and laughed, and the scale of their jokes became 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, and Zhuang Chaoying took 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 they walked. If they saw anything new, they would go over and 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're both half the same."
"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 crows and say the pigs are evil, you should think of a way to subdue your son."
"I have no other choice. I have tried all the methods I should use. I can only hope that this trip to Shanghai will be effective." Song Ying felt tired.
In 1984, the speed of the train was higher than before. This time when he arrived in Shanghai, Lin Wufeng clearly felt that the time spent standing was much shorter.
"Wow, this is Shanghai. There are so many people."
Standing outside the Shanghai Railway Station, Xiang Pengfei sighed sincerely.
"Don't stand there stupidly. Get on the bus quickly. You won't be able to get on the bus soon." Lin Dongzhe pulled him and ran to the bus station.
"Dongzhe, slow down."
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying could only catch up with Zhuang Xiaoting. Fortunately, they only came for two days this time, so they brought some underwear for replacement and not much luggage. Otherwise, they really couldn't catch up with these two sky-runners.
After finally squeezing into the bus, Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying quickly held down the two sky-runners.
"If you run around again, I will send you home."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei obeyed obediently.
On the bus, Xiang Pengfei suddenly said to Lin Dongzhe, "If I have money in the future, I will buy a bus, and each person who gets on will pay me. How much money will I make along the way?"
Lin Dongzhe thought for a while: "Then do we have to pay for the ride?"
"You, Aunt Song, Uncle Lin, Uncle and Aunt, Brother Hao, Brother Tunan, and Xiaoting are all free. I can drive you to play on Sundays."
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying did not take Xiang Pengfei's words to heart, just thinking that it was just a child's casual talk.
Finally, the bus stopped at the gate of Tongji University, and Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei immediately rushed down like wild horses that had broken free of their reins.
Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying were blocked by the crowd and could not get off for a while. They were so anxious that they sweated.
Fortunately, through the car window glass, they saw that the two brothers were intercepted by Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan on the left and right, and they were relieved.
"Brother Hao, I missed 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 a look of being abandoned.
Qin Hao patted him on the back: "I also spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, why did you come back?"
"Ah, you went to Beijing again? Are you going to participate in the Go competition?"
"It's not a competition, it's a training camp."
While talking, Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying had already squeezed out of the car with Zhuang Xiaoting, and the two of them glared at the two sky monkeys.

"Haozi, Tunan, you have to take good care of Dongzhe and Pengfei this time. You are not at home, and they are about to go crazy."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei immediately lowered their heads and looked at each other, meaning: How old are you, why are you still complaining.
Zhuang Tunan caught Xiang Pengfei and scolded him, while Qin Hao said to Lin Wufeng: "Uncle Lin, I'll take you inside for a walk. When you're tired, you can eat directly in the school. Tongji's canteen is famous throughout Shanghai."
"Yes, eat at Tongji, Dad. Our food is good. Look, I've gained weight." Zhuang Tunan agreed.
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 university, I took a year of formal classes. After that, it was all a mess..."
"Okay, Mr. Lin, don't be sentimental. At least you went to university. I haven't even seen what university is like." Zhuang Chaoying was already a little impatient. The most regrettable thing in his life was that he had never been to university.
The group entered the campus with laughter and chatter. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan first took them around the school teaching 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 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.
Qin Hao said to Lin Wufeng: "Uncle Lin, please take your time to walk around. I'll talk to Lin Dongzhe for a while."
"Okay, go ahead." Lin Wufeng
When they came to a corner where no one was, before Qin Hao spoke, Lin Dongzhe said: "Brother Hao, you won't persuade me to study hard and work hard to get into college like my parents do?"
Qin Hao smiled: "Whether you go to college or not is your own business. Neither I, Aunt Song, nor Uncle Lin can make the decision for you."
Qin Hao patted Lin Dongzhe on the shoulder: "From childhood to adulthood, you have always been very smart and know what you are doing. When other children of the same age were still asking their parents for money, you had already learned to use the money from selling waste to rent comic books."
Lin Dongzhe was a little embarrassed by Qin Hao's praise.
Qin Hao continued: "Do you remember the comics I brought you before?"
"Of course I remember, the Doraemon."
"Then did you know that it was not only a comic, but also made into an animation and even a movie, which earned 1.56 billion yen at the box office, equivalent to 90 million yuan."
Lin Dongzhe was stunned by this sudden news.
"So, I never thought that reading comic books was not a proper job, but I think it is necessary for you to have 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 era when college students have the same status and salary as junior high school students is 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 Go 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 those 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 high school entrance examination, then you will 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 a distance.
"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 to blame 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.
