Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 29

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, there was a knock on the door of Lin Jinglan's house. Zhou Hui opened the door and found a man and a woman standing at the door that she did not recognize.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Hui asked strangely.

The two people standing at the door asked cautiously, "Excuse me, is this Lin Jinglan's house?"

Zhou Hui's face was even more surprised, "Yes, you..."

Seeing Zhou Hui nodding, the two smiled and took a step forward, "We are the parents of Lin Jinglan's classmate Gu Panpan, and we are here to celebrate the new year."

Zhou Hui welcomed the two into the door without knowing why.When Lin Jinglan heard the movement, she hurried out to greet her, "Hi, Uncle and Auntie."

Gu Panpan's parents put the things in their hands on the table, and looked at Lin Jinglan with a smile on their faces, "This is Jinglan, I didn't expect not only to study well, but also to be so beautiful."

Lin Jinglan smiled shyly, "Happy New Year, Uncle and Auntie! Are you here for something?"

Gu Panpan's mother quickly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I just came to pay New Year's greetings. We actually wanted to thank you a long time ago, and now we just take advantage of the New Year's opportunity to bring some food to see you."

"Panpan's grades, her father and I are very clear, originally we didn't expect her to pass the preliminaries." Gu Panpan's mother held Lin Jinglan's hand, her tone was very excited.

"Panpan's grades have improved so much, all thanks to you. I heard from Panpan that you have been helping her with tutoring..." Gu Panpan's mother said, "I, we really don't know how to thank you."

Lin Jinglan was so blushed by Gu Panpan's mother's behavior, she quickly gave way, "Students should help each other, and you don't deserve your thanks."

"Really, I didn't do anything. I'm very touched that you can come to visit me as a guest. I will never accept the things you bring." Lin Jinglan picked up the two packages of things that Gu Panpan's parents brought from the table, Push it hard into Gu Panpan's mother's hand.

Gu Panpan's mother gave it to Zhou Hui again, and now Zhou Hui understood what was going on, and she was determined not to accept the gift, so she tried her best to give it to Gu Panpan's father.

At this time, Lin Shan just came out of the house. Gu Panpan's father saw Lin Shan, and put the gift into Lin Shan's hand again.

Lin Shan just came out of the house when he understood what was going on. Seeing that Gu Panpan's father gave him a gift, Lin Shan didn't even say a word of politeness, and just reached out to grab it firmly.

Lin Shan put the gift aside and smiled at Gu Panpan's father, "Will you stay for a meal?"

Although Gu Panpan's parents said that they brought the things to give away sincerely, they were a little dazed when they suddenly saw Lin Shan's posture.

Lin Jinglan stared at Lin Shan, her eyes almost burst into flames.

It's really embarrassing for Lin Shan to be like this!

She helps her classmates with tutoring, and she is extremely satisfied to get a heartfelt thank you.How could it be possible to accept a gift from a classmate's parents?

She desperately refused for a long time, but Lin Shan immediately accepted it as soon as he came out!

Besides, this gift was brought to thank her, so what right did Lin Shan accept it on his own initiative?

Zhou Hui grabbed her wrist behind Lin Jinglan, but Lin Jinglan held back and did not rush up immediately.

Lin Jinglan warned herself that she should not lose her composure in front of outsiders.After all, Lin Shan is her father in name, and she still has to cherish her own image, and she doesn't want outsiders to see her family's jokes.

After all, Lin Shan is shameless, and she has to.

Zhou Hui immediately got up and went to the kitchen to cook, intending to entertain Gu Panpan's parents, but the two of them did not stay for dinner in the end, and left directly after delivering the presents.

What Lin Jinglan didn't expect was that Gu Panpan's family was not the only ones who came to the door with gifts, and almost one family after another came to the door.

Zhao Yumei's parents took Lin Jinglan's hand, and thanked her non-stop, "Jinglan, we don't know how to thank you. Your help to Yumei is really greater than all the teachers combined. .”

Lin Jinglan quickly waved her hands, "Auntie, you have said too much."

Zhao Yumei's mother also realized that what she said just now was inappropriate, so she quickly turned away, "Jing Lan, if you need anything, feel free to come to your uncle and aunt, as long as we can help, you will never shirk."

Lin Jinglan was particularly moved. Although she spent a lot of time and energy helping her classmates study, she felt indescribably satisfied after seeing the students around her really improve their grades.

She really didn't expect that her behavior would make the parents of her classmates so grateful, that every family came to the door with gifts to express their gratitude for the New Year.

Helping others is already a happy thing, but now seeing the people being helped really appreciate her, Lin Jinglan almost wants to hold her face with both hands, this kind of feeling should not be too good.

Only Jiang Hao's parents didn't bring gifts, but they didn't come empty-handed either. Lin Jinglan couldn't laugh or cry when she saw the things in their hands——

It's a big red pennant.

There are four big characters "good teacher and helpful friend" written on it.

Moreover, on the way Jiang Hao's parents came, the two of them had been pulling a corner of the pennant and unfolding the pennant, walking over with such great fanfare.

Lin Jinglan really wanted to squat on the ground and cover her face. People in this era are too shameful to do things...

Lin Shan took all the gifts brought by everyone to his own room, and did not let Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui touch him at all.

Lin Jinglan saw that Lin Shan had given out several bags of gifts, and he didn't know who they had given them to, and even sold the contents of several bags of gifts privately, when Lin Jinglan bumped into him counting the money.

With some worthless food left, Lin Shan ate alone in the house without even asking Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui.

Lin Jinglan looked at Lin Shan with disdain.

She was originally worried that Lin Shan wanted to embezzle her manuscript fees, and she also planned how to prevent Lin Shan from succeeding.

Now it seems that she doesn't have to do anything at all, because what Lin Shan did by herself is too shameful!

Although Lin Shan has the advantage of being a "father", it is a pity that Lin Shan's every move is too much.

There are still a few days left before leaving school, but Lin Jinglan doesn't want to live under the same roof with Lin Shan who is always coveting her manuscript fee.While Lin Shan went out to resell the gifts, when Zhou Hui went out to buy vegetables, Lin Jinglan packed up the package, left a note, and went straight to the bus station.

The school dormitory was not available yet, so Lin Jinglan went in the direction of Teacher Han's house.

When Teacher Han saw Lin Jinglan who came to the door suddenly, she was startled. After looking around, she found that Lin Jinglan was not injured and was in good spirits. Teacher Han was relieved.

Lin Jinglan was very embarrassed, "Mr. Han, I really can't live at home anymore. I also know that I will disturb the teacher by visiting the door rashly."

"But I really don't know who to go to..." Lin Jinglan sighed, "Mr. Han, there are still a few days before I leave school, can you help me find a place to live? I will pay the rent."

Teacher Han was taken aback by Lin Jinglan's words, "Why can't I stay at home anymore?" Teacher Han came back to his senses, "There is no need to look for a place to live, the teacher still has room at home, you can stay here!"

A wry smile appeared on Lin Jinglan's face, "My dad, you also know that he is a man who only cares about money and has no human touch."

"This holiday, many parents of classmates in the class came to my house to pay New Year's greetings. My mother and I would not accept those things no matter what, but my father accepted them all without saying a word."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Jinglan's face, "I help my classmates with their homework, but it's just a mutual help between classmates. How can I accept things from my parents? My father really lost everyone to the Lin family!"

Teacher Han comforted me, "Just accept it, it's nothing."

Lin Jinglan frowned, "If it's just to accept the presents, that's fine. He bought all those presents in the blink of an eye! He took the money and kept it in his hands!"

"It's all a wish from a classmate's family...how could he..."

Lin Jinglan's eyes turned red, and she stared at Teacher Han in a daze, "It's not just about gifts. Teacher Han, you don't know that since I came home, my father has tried every means to cheat me out of the manuscript fee I earned. come out."

"Seeing that I refused to give it to him, he even came to my room in the middle of the night while I was asleep and rummaged through boxes and cabinets! He wanted to steal the money I hid!" Lin Jinglan raised her voice.

"I dare not stay at home, so I ran out quickly..."

"I absolutely dare not give him the money," Lin Jinglan sobbed, "If he wants to be like other people's fathers, I will hand over the money to his parents without saying a word. We are all a family. The money I earn will be given to my parents." Shouldn't flowers be..."

Lin Jinglan lowered her stance and spoke in an extremely aggrieved manner.

The expression on Teacher Han's face changed, showing both distress for Lin Jinglan and anger at Lin Shan.

Lin Jinglan continued, "As long as I give him the money, I will never get a penny from him to pay for my college education. Teacher Han, I have such good grades, how can I be willing not to go to college?"

"If I don't earn money and want to spend the money Lin Shan earns to go to college, he won't give it to me, and I can't say anything."

"But now it's my manuscript fee! Can't I use the money I earn to pay for my college education?"

Lin Jinglan burst into tears.

Everything she said was true, although she intended to complain about Lin Shan's bad deeds.But now, the grievance in her heart can no longer be suppressed.

She is all alone and has no one to rely on.

Lin Shan is her father in name, but has become her obstacle after all.No matter how despicable Lin Shan is, if she ignores Lin Shan in the future, she will inevitably be accused of being unfilial.

All her life, she couldn't get rid of Lin Shan.

Seeing Lin Jinglan crying, Teacher Han saw the tears running down her fair face. She was crying extremely restrained, obviously trying to control her emotions.

But after crying for a short while, Lin Jinglan wiped her face with a handkerchief, smiled at Teacher Han with red eyes, "Sorry, I lost my temper just now."

Teacher Han was very distressed, perhaps because she came from such a family, Lin Jinglan was always very mature and sensible.

Teacher Han hugged Lin Jinglan in his arms, "If you trust the teacher, deposit the money with the teacher first, and when you go to university, the teacher will personally send you there."

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, she didn't expect Teacher Han to say that, after all, as far as she knew, even teachers were unwilling to get involved in students' housework.

What's more, teachers also take certain risks in keeping money for students.

A warm current flowed through Lin Jinglan's heart, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Han."
