Chapter 1499 Li Jia
The relationship between Song Ying and Huang Ling is naturally very close. In addition, due to Huang Ling's unfortunate experience, she unconsciously regards Song Ying as a close sister.

So there are really very few things to consider when speaking, especially when it comes to other people's family affairs, you can really say whatever you want. After leaving the Wu family, they are still chatting enthusiastically about Xiao Min.

Song Ying suddenly said something from her heart to Huang Ling, "Sister Ling, I used to think it was great to work in the factory for my whole life. After I retired, I would still have the factory to provide for my retirement."

"Isn't that the case?" In fact, this was also what Huang Ling thought in her mind.

Song Ying, however, explained with a sorrowful look on her face, "No! After what happened, I feel guilty even trying to persuade Xiao Min. This kind of life where you can't see the end of it is really boring."

"It's mainly because there's a generational gap between young people and us. Plus, Xiao Min seems to have made up her mind, so it has had a kind of impact on your thinking."

"..." Song Ying naturally agreed with this statement. Xiao Min just said that times have changed, which made Song Ying feel deeply emotional.

Old Wu is not without good things now. His biological daughter Wu Shanshan was admitted to Tongji University. Although it is not a top major, it is still a famous university in this era.

So Old Wu didn't have too many feelings about Xiao Min's experience. He was more influenced by Zhang A-mei's expression. Deep down, he still felt very proud.

At this time, Lin Wufeng also ran into Wu Jianguo and asked, "Old Wu, I don't think you are too worried about Xiao Min's situation?"

However, Wu Jianguo explained to Lin Wufeng with a depressed look on his face, "Of course I'm worried! But there's no point in just worrying. We've already thought of all the possible solutions. If Xiao Min doesn't want to go to the Third Factory, what can we do?"

"That's right! But your family already has Shanshan, a college student, so you have hope for the future." Lin Wufeng nodded in approval and thought of Shanshan again.

"Hehe, that's right! Shanshan really made me proud as a father, but it was also because of this incident that A-mei and Xiao-min were very dissatisfied with me. They thought that I still loved Shanshan and her brother more in my heart."

"Isn't this nonsense? The country is now vigorously cultivating high-level talents in various fields, the purpose of which is to promote the development of the entire country and society. Shanshan was able to get into university because of her own hard work. Your Xiaomin doesn't have such ability, right?"

Wu Jianguo shook his head with a depressed look on his face and said, "That's true, but unfortunately women are never reasonable."

"Old Wu, your Shanshan's grades are excellent. She will definitely have a bright future. She's already the second college student in the alley."

"..." After hearing this, Old Wu's face looked a little unnatural, because he felt a little guilty facing Wu Shanshan.

You should know that when he filled out his high school entrance examination application, he went to the school in person to change it to a normal technical secondary school. As for why Wu Shanshan was admitted to No. 3 Middle School, it was obviously because Wu Shanshan changed it back later.

So every time Old Wu saw his daughter, he felt ashamed. For the first time, he felt embarrassed and ashamed for being a father. The more Wu Shanshan acted like nothing had happened, the more uncomfortable Old Wu felt.

Lin Wufeng returned home and told Song Ying about this matter. However, Song Ying knew some inside information. "Wufeng, Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei are the worst. When Shanshan was filling out her application for the high school entrance examination, Wu Jianguo actually went to the school and changed Shanshan's application."

"What? Then why was Shanshan admitted to No. 3 Middle School?" Sure enough, Lin Wufeng was also surprised when he learned this inside information for the first time.

"That's because Sister Ling anticipated what Old Wu and Zhang A'mei were going to do, so she warned Shanshan to be careful. Sure enough, Shanshan went back to the school to check her application and then, despite the heartache, changed it back."

Lin Wufeng, who understood what had happened, looked down upon Wu Jianguo. "This...this Old Wu is such a piece of shit."

Song Ying, who has a hot temper, despises men like Wu Jianguo the most. "Humph! Even though Old Wu was just trying to avoid family conflicts and forced Shanshan to change her application to a secondary normal school, to put it bluntly, it was because he was too selfish."

"Yeah! It seems I underestimated Wu Jianguo. It's better to stay away from people like him in the future."

"Ah."

……

At the same time, Mr. Ruan and others who were far away in Shanxi had already told the staff of Pingyao Ancient City about their plans for the protection of the ancient city and expressed their desire to preserve the ancient city.

They plan to open up a new area near the ancient city as a new city to meet the needs of urban development.

The staff of Pingyao Ancient City also expressed their support, saying that they were also native Yunyao people and very much hoped that these ancient buildings could be preserved.

Both parties are full of expectations for this plan.

In the darkroom, Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia were busy developing photos and chatting about their recent experiences.

Zhuang Tunan suddenly looked at Li Jia affectionately and said that meeting Li Jia was the time when he believed in fate the most.

Just as he was about to kiss the infatuated Li Jia, there was a knock on the door and the two of them hurriedly separated.

Afterwards, Zhuang Tunan's team prepared to return, but the staff told Teacher Ruan that the county government had not approved their protection plan.

This news made everyone feel very disappointed. Teacher Ruan encouraged everyone not to give up and decided to go to Sijiucheng to seek help, so that everyone could return to school first.

Before they were about to part, Teacher Ruan suddenly remembered something and specifically called Li Jia over to ask, "Li Jia, I remember you're from Shanghai, right?"

"Huh? Teacher Ruan, my parents were both educated youth from Shanghai who went to Heilongjiang, but now our whole family does live in Shanghai." Li Jia quickly explained to Teacher Ruan in a concise manner.

"That's great! A while ago, a friend helped me find a place to renovate an old house. I need to rush to Sijiu City as soon as possible, so please help me with the preliminary surveying and we'll talk about it after I get back from Sijiu City."

"Okay! Teacher Ruan."

Then, Teacher Ruan handed Li Jia a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. "This is the other party's phone number. It seems he's a mathematics professor at Fudan University."

Li Jia, who took the phone number, asked doubtfully, "Teacher Ruan, what's the other party's name?"

"Eh? I was so busy I forgot. Was his last name Zhuang or Zhou?"

Li Jia tried to hold back his laughter and looked at Teacher Ruan in front of him, realizing that Teacher Ruan was still thinking about the ancient city of Pingyao. It was already very good that he could still remember this matter.

"Teacher Ruan, then I know what to do."

"it is good."

At the train station, many students shed tears because they were reluctant to leave.

In order to spend more time with Li Jia, Zhuang Tunan skipped the Suzhou station and went back to Shanghai first and then to Suzhou. It can be seen that he has fallen in love unconsciously.

On the train, Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia witnessed the magnificent sunrise together.

At this moment, Zhuang Tunan suddenly looked at Li Jia in front of him and asked, "Li Jia, when we were parting just now, I saw that Teacher Ruan specifically wanted to discuss something with you?"

Li Jia didn't explain too much to Zhuang Tunan. "Yes! It's just a small matter. Teacher Ruan was worried that he wouldn't be able to come back in time, so he gave it to me first."

"Oh? Then you want me to stay and help you?" Sure enough, Zhuang Tunan took the initiative to offer to stay and help.

"No need! It's just a small matter. I can handle it myself. You should hurry back to Suzhou and reunite with your family."

"Alright."

This experience not only deepened the relationship between Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia, but also made the team more united and ready to face future challenges together. Back home, Huang Ling and others were delighted to see Zhuang Tunan back.

Zhuang Tunan noticed that the paint on the bicycle Lin Dongzhe gave him was peeling, so he wanted to repair it.

Lin Wufeng initially thought it was unnecessary, but Zhuang Tunan insisted that it was a respect for Lin Dongzhe's feelings.

After hearing this, Lin Wufeng expressed his support and joked that this way Lin Dongzhe would have no car to go out for a run, and he should thank Zhuang Tunan.

On the other hand, there was another dispute in Wang Yong's family because Zhou Qing obtained a Shanghai household registration. Wang Yong wanted Wang Fang to return to Shanghai and fight for the small house, but Wang Fang firmly opposed it, saying that it was approved by the Production and Construction Department and had nothing to do with Wang Yong.

The dispute between brother and sister Wang Yong and Wang Fang made Song Ying and Huang Ling's families particularly heartbroken. After all, the house occupied half of their yard. The angry Lin Wufeng wanted to just push the house down and restore the yard to its original state.

……

At the same time, when Li Jia was chatting with her parents, she heard that her parents wanted to arrange for her younger brother Wenwen to have a Shanghai household registration. However, Li Jia thought that her uncle and aunt might not like Wenwen and was worried that Wenwen would be bullied in Shanghai.

But Li Jia's father believed that Shanghai household registration was more important and insisted on letting Wenwen come. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted Li Jia to give up his Shanghai household registration and support Wenwen in settling down and taking root in Shanghai with them.

At this time, Li Jia was undoubtedly feeling particularly upset. She felt that this family was too depressing, and once again strengthened her thoughts and impulses to escape from here.

Then Li Jia remembered what Teacher Ruan had entrusted to her, and hurriedly left this home that made her feel depressed, and went to the street store to call the other party.

"Hello! I'm Zhuang Chaoying."

"Ah? Hello, Professor Zhuang! I'm Li Jia, a student of Professor Ruan from the Department of Architecture at Tongji University. He asked me to conduct preliminary docking and surveying with you first."

"I understand! You wait for me at the East Gate of Tongji University at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Goodbye, Professor Zhuang."

"See you."

Li Jia, who had hung up the phone at this time, was still in shock, because she was too familiar with the name "Zhuang Chaoying". Isn't this the father of her ambiguous male classmate?

Of course, Li Jia also thought about calling Zhuang Tunan to talk about this, but after thinking about it, she chose to give up. After all, this might really be just a coincidence of having the same name.

The next morning, Li Jia got up early, dressed up carefully, and then left this small apartment where she lived under someone else's roof.

When I arrived at the east gate of Tongji University, I found that it was not yet 8:30, so I waited patiently.

Sure enough, after waiting for about half an hour, Li Jia saw the latest model of Mercedes-Benz W116 slowly approaching the school gate and stopping in front of her.

Su Ning rolled down the car window and looked at the girl in front of him with confusion and asked, "Student Li Jia?"

Li Jia excitedly looked at Su Ning in the car and introduced him, already convinced that Su Ning was Zhuang Tunan's father. "Hello, Professor Zhuang! I'm Li Jia."

"boarding."

"Ok."

At this time, Li Jia naturally seemed a little timid and uneasy. She had already recognized that Professor Zhuang was Zhuang Tuanan's father, but she didn't know the rules and sat directly in the back seat.

Suning didn't take it too seriously and drove directly to the old villa. When Li Jia saw the spacious single-family house with a yard, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

After getting off the car, Su Ning briefly introduced the situation to Li Jia, "Student Li Jia, this is the old house that is to be renovated. It was designed by the famous French designer Connock in the 1940s."

"Professor Zhuang, excuse me for asking, is this the apartment given to you by Fudan University?" However, Li Jia looked at Su Ning with a strange expression and asked.

"Haha, no! Fudan University isn't that arrogant. I bought this with my own money."

"Thank you, Professor Zhuang, for the information! I'll start surveying now, and once Teacher Ruan returns from Sijiu City, we can begin the repair work."

"Okay! Whatever you want."

Then Li Jia started surveying with excitement on his face, while Suning sat leisurely in the living room drinking coffee and reading newspaper, not paying much attention to Li Jia's specific work.

Li Jia, who was doing surveying, couldn't help but secretly look at Suning. She felt that Suning had the temperament of a successful person and gave people a particularly mature and stable feeling, which was a fatal temptation for a girl like her.

In fact, Suning recognized Li Jia's identity early on. Apart from feeling that the world was too small, he didn't feel anything particularly strange.

An hour or two later, Li Jia came to Su Ning again after finishing his work and said, "Professor Zhuang, I have finished the survey."

"Thank you for your hard work! Come sit down and have a cup of coffee." Suning personally doubled the cup of fragrant coffee for Li Jia.

"Thank you, Professor Zhuang." Li Jia sat down uncomfortably and picked up the coffee to taste.

"Student Li Jia, judging from your accent, you are a Shanghai native?"

"Yes! Professor Zhuang, my parents were both educated youth from Shanghai who went to Heilongjiang, so I grew up in Heilongjiang. However, my parents have always taught us Shanghainese."

"I see! Since you're from the Department of Architecture at Tongji University, do you know a student named Zhuang Tunan?"

"Professor Zhuang, I know him! Zhuang Tunan is my classmate. He just came back from the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi."

"Oh? What a coincidence?"

"Professor Zhuang, Zhuang Tunan doesn't know you've returned to China, right?"

"Yes! I just returned home a few days ago, but his mother already knows about it. I'm sure Tunan knows about it too."

"Professor Zhuang, will you bring all your family members from Suzhou to live in Shanghai in the future?"

"No! Tunan's mother and I separated a few years ago. Besides, they both have stable jobs in Suzhou and wouldn't want to leave their hometown to live in Shanghai."

"..."

"Student Li Jia, this is the key to this house. Please give it to Teacher Ruan later. The renovation here will be handed over to Teacher Ruan."

"Okay! I'll contact Mr. Ruan as soon as possible. Once he finalizes the repair plan, I'll call you, Professor Zhuang."

"it is good."
