Chapter 1494 He is my father
After Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei were brought back, the parents of both sides were ready to take their children back and give them a good lesson. After all, this matter really could not be ignored, and it almost turned into a disaster for several families.

The neighbors were also paying close attention to what was happening here. It had been a while since they heard the sound of Lin Dongzhe being punished for being naughty, and they actually felt a little nostalgic in their hearts.

The main reason is that Lin Dongzhe is also a talented person. Every time he is played in a mixed doubles match with his parents, he will frequently reveal some secrets and golden sentences. He is really the source of happiness in "People in the Alley".

However, Huang Ling felt embarrassed when facing Xiang Pengfei. After all, she was not his direct relative, and now even the identity of his aunt no longer existed. She suddenly felt a little regretful that she should have refused at the beginning.

Huang Ling, not knowing how to discipline Pengfei, felt helpless and realized she had done the most foolish thing. "Pengfei, I've always known you're a smart kid. Even though you don't study very hard, you should understand some social conventions."

"Aunt, I'm sorry! I was wrong this time." Xiang Pengfei bowed his head with a look of shame on his face and apologized.

Huang Ling looked at Xiang Pengfei meaningfully again and said, "Pengfei, your uncle and I divorced a long time ago. The last time I allowed you to spend the summer here was because you were young. As for agreeing to let you live in the cotton mill this time, it was also because of Tunan's face."

"..."

"Pengfei, the reason I'm telling you all this is because I want to tell you that I can't educate you like your parents did. Everything depends on your own initiative. As for how far you can go in the future, it also depends on your own efforts."

Xiang Pengfei, realizing he had done something wrong, blushed and quickly promised, "Thank you, aunt! I won't mess around again. I will study hard from now on."

"Okay! Go do your homework!" Huang Ling sent Xiang Pengfei away with a splitting headache.

"Yes! Aunt."

Looking at Pengfei's lonely and regretful back, Huang Ling naturally felt a headache. If the child was not her own, it would be particularly troublesome.

At this time, Mr. Yang from the long-distance bus station came to apologize with some egg cakes. He looked at Huang Ling and Song Ying frankly and apologized, "I'm so sorry! Although I know the children skipped classes, I think they need to relax occasionally, so I didn't force them to go back to class."

"Hmph!" Song Ying on the side still looked unhappy.

Master Yang then awkwardly continued to explain, "I didn't think much about the children's decision to go to Shanghai at first. After all, Master Zhang, who greeted them, is an old friend of mine, and I trust him very much. Now that this has happened, I naturally feel extremely regretful."

After hearing the explanation, Song Ying became even angrier. "Master Qian, you let the children get on the bus without their parents. What if something happened? Who is Master Zhang? Why would Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei trust him?"

Master Qian felt very embarrassed after hearing this and apologized repeatedly, but accidentally fell while leaving.

Huang Ling, who was standing by, quickly ran out and helped the man up. Master Qian, however, explained a little embarrassedly, "I'm fine! I'm probably hungry because I haven't eaten all day."

"What? You haven't eaten for a whole day?" As expected, both Huang Ling and Song Ying were surprised.

"We drivers have a very hard life. We don't have time to eat. We often work so hard that we forget to eat."

"This..." Huang Ling looked up at Song Ying beside her in surprise after hearing this.

"..." Seeing this, Song Ying felt a little guilty, so she cooked a bowl of noodles for Master Qian herself.

At this time, Master Qian was undoubtedly very touched. After both parties had talked things out thoroughly, they gradually became acquaintances and friends. You have to know that this was still an era that valued loyalty and friendship.

A saying passed down from mouth to mouth among the general public is to rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. This is not like the backstabbing and profit-seeking of later generations. This era can be regarded as the last trace of simplicity in Chinese civilization.

Afterwards, Song Ying talked about what happened today with Lin Wufeng, and Lin Wufeng naturally felt very regretful. Song Ying then learned that Lin Wufeng claimed to work overtime every weekend, but in fact he went to Director An's refrigerator factory to work part-time.

Lin Wufeng looked at Song Ying and explained, "Song Ying, I was a little worried about being discovered at first, but thinking about our family's financial constraints, I persevered. It's been half a year now, and there haven't been any problems."

"Wu Feng, why don't you just forget it! If someone finds out, no one can predict what the outcome will be." Although Song Ying felt that the extra money was very tempting, she was worried that something might go wrong and still wanted to dissuade him.

However, Lin Wufeng was already feeling a bit overwhelmed. "But I still want to make more money. I can't let you guys eat coarse food anymore."

"Nonsense! When did our family start eating coarse food?"

"That's why I want to earn more. You don't need to worry too much. I will definitely be cautious on my side."

"Hey! All right!"

Of course, Huang Ling also knew that Lin Wufeng had taken private work. She also thought that the matter could be a big deal or a small one, and that she couldn't harm Lin Wufeng, so she decided to remain silent about it and pretend to be unaware of it.

Huang Ling knows very well that everyone’s life is not easy, and sometimes one has to make some compromises and choices in order to survive.

Then, when Song Ying was chatting with Huang Ling, she mentioned a little secret revealed by Lin Dongzhe: when Zhuang Tunan went to the train station to pick them up, he was accompanied by a beautiful girl, which aroused everyone's curiosity about the matter.

Lin Dongzhe, who is always smart, chatted with Li Jia all the way, and Xiang Pengfei also took the opportunity to learn a lot of information from Li Jia, which became the topic of conversation for Song Ying and others after dinner.

……

At this time, a shocking news came from the United States across the ocean. The Chinese mathematician "Zhuang Chaoying" in the United States solved the world's difficult problem "NP-complete problem" and won this year's Fields International Medal in Mathematics.

You should know that those who win the Fields Medal are all great figures in mathematics, and the Fields Medal has always been known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics. It immediately caused a huge sensation in the domestic academic community.

You should know that Suning is still a Chinese citizen, so the honor of this international award also belongs to China. The honor is not comparable to that of Chinese experts such as Shing-Tung Yau and Chen-Ning Yang.

Speaking of the fact that the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics project, there is a little story. That is, Nobel's ex-wife was abducted by a mathematician, so the Nobel Prize did not have this mathematics project.

Seeing the school decorated with lights and colors for celebration, Li Jia suddenly had an idea and looked at Zhuang Tunan beside him and asked, "Zhuang Tunan, this international mathematician Zhuang Chaoying is also from Suzhou. Is he an acquaintance of yours?"

"Ah?" Zhuang Tunan was naturally stunned by Li Jia's question.

Seeing that Zhuang Tunan did not deny it immediately, Li Jia was surprised. "What? Zhuang Tunan, could it be that I guessed right?"

Thinking that Li Jia usually listened attentively, Zhuang Tunan chose to tell Li Jia the truth, "Li Jia, actually he is my father."

"What? Zhuang Tunan, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true! But I hope you can help me keep this secret. I don't want my studies to be affected."

"Hehe, don't worry! I'm very tight-lipped."

"Thank you."

Then Li Jia looked at Zhuang Tunan with curiosity and asked, "Zhuang Tunan, can you introduce your father to me?"

"This..." Zhuang Tunan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll go out and tell nonsense?"

"No! I just don't think there's much to introduce. He used to be a middle school math teacher. He got into Fudan University with a perfect score on the first Gaokao. Then he went on to study for a master's degree and went abroad to study at MIT." "That's amazing! It feels like your dad's life has been a complete revelation."

"..."

At this time, Zhuang Tunan naturally felt very proud. You know, Suning is his biological father, and the honors achieved by Suning also belong to their Zhuang family.

Seeing that schools like Fudan and Tongji were posting banners to celebrate Suning's winning of the Fields Medal, Zhuang Tunan immediately felt a huge pressure.

When Zhuang Tunan went home for the first time during the holiday, Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei were locked at home for making mistakes and could only read books and do homework.

However, the clever Zhuang Tunan found that the TV was still hot. Obviously, they had just peeked at it, and their little trick could not be hidden from him.

Seeing that Zhuang Tunan had exposed their trick, the two of them quickly apologized and said that they could go out as long as Zhuang Tunan came back.

So, Zhuang Tunan took them out for some fresh air and helped them with their homework, which made Song Ying feel relieved.

At this moment, Zhuang Tunan suddenly handed Huang Ling a copy of the People's Daily and said, "Mom, my dad won an award abroad."

"Win an award? What award?" Huang Ling from the newspaper was a little confused.

Zhuang Tunan quickly explained, "The Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize of mathematics, is the good news that's all over the academic world and in the newspapers right now."

"Pretty good." Huang Ling said with a complicated expression.

"Mom, when I was filling out my college application, my dad wanted me to pursue a career in government, but I chose the construction industry, which I love."

"It's okay! Tunan, you don't need to think too much about it. After all, going to college is your own business."

"But I'm worried my dad will be angry."

"No! He doesn't have the time to care about you right now. I think he's probably living a carefree life in America right now."

"..."

……

Soon it was the annual New Year's Eve party again. Huang Ling naturally didn't need to endure the disgust of Zhuang's father and mother, but she still asked Zhuang Tunan to take Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei with her.

Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Huang Ling in front of her with some reluctance, "Mom, how about I stay and keep you company until the New Year's Eve?"

"No need! You should go and spend the New Year with your grandparents. I can just catch up on some sleep at home today." However, Huang Ling forced a smile and refused.

"mom……"

"Go! Don't keep your grandparents waiting anxiously."

"Mom, we'll be back early tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

After Zhuang Tunan, Zhuang Xiaoting and their three children left, Huang Ling immediately felt lonely and realized for the first time that she was a lonely person.

Then Huang Ling lay down on the bed and fell asleep. The pressure of this period was also relieved. Feeling tired, Huang Ling fell asleep quickly.

Zhuang's mother started to be disgusting right from the start, her mind full of calculations on others, "Tunan, have you heard anything about your father recently?"

"Huh? Grandma, I don't know." Zhuang Tunan answered somewhat unnaturally.

As expected, upon hearing Zhuang Tunan's reply, Zhuang's mother burst into a swearing fit. "Humph! Tunan, your father is the most heartless person. Don't learn from your father's ruthlessness and disloyalty when you grow up."

"..."

At this time, Zhuang's father also began to instill ideas in Zhuang Tunan, "Tunan! You are the eldest grandson of our Zhuang family. You must take good care of your younger brothers in the future, especially Zhennan and Zhenbei from your third uncle and aunt's families."

"Yes! Grandpa, I understand."

Mother Zhuang, still somewhat unwilling to accept the result, asked again, "Tunan! People say that college students are all government officials. So, are you getting paid now?"

Zhuang Tunan looked at the strange grandma in front of him with a wry smile and explained, "Ah? Grandma, I'm still a student now. My main task is to study, not to work, so naturally I don't get a salary."

"What's the point of going to college without a salary? I should have just enrolled in a technical secondary school. I'm sure I'd be working and earning a salary by now."

"..."

"Tunan, your grandfather and I are completely dependent on your third uncle and aunt right now. They're under a lot of pressure. As the eldest grandson, you have to share the pressure for the family!"

"..."

The next day was New Year's Day. Zhuang Tuanan, Zhuang Xiaoting and the other two left their third uncle's house in a panic. They felt that facing their grandparents at their third uncle's house was really a painful torture.

Huang Ling and Song Ying were also wishing each other a happy new year. Song Ying specially gave Zhuang Tunan a big red envelope to thank him for helping Lin Dongzhe with his homework. "Tunan, you've worked hard. Take the red envelope and buy some delicious food."

"Aunt……"

"Tuanan, this is also a gift from your aunt, just accept it!" Seeing this, Huang Ling asked Zhuang Tuanan to accept the red envelope.

"Thank you auntie."

Then, Song Ying talked about Lin Dongzhe's upcoming high school entrance exam and hoped that he could get into No. 1 Middle School. "Sister Ling, come with me to the temple to pray later. I hope the Bodhisattva will bless Dongzhe to get into No. 1 Middle School."

"Ah? Song Ying, aren't you embarrassing the Bodhisattva?"

"Huh! Sister Ling, do you also find it difficult?"

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate! Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Oh! Yes! I suddenly realized that I was too greedy."
