Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 55

Hong Tao really couldn't bear to see his younger brother's listless appearance every day, and angrily said, "Hong Ze, how long will you be living like this?"

Hong Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then said to his elder brother Hong Tao with a bitter face, "Brother, I..." He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, he was indeed too depressed these days.

Hong Tao said, "I think you've been spoiled by your parents and me! You've followed your wishes since childhood, but now if you encounter any setbacks, it's as if you can't live."

Hong Ze smiled wryly. To him, this was not even the slightest setback.

"Anyway, let's have a treat at home tomorrow to celebrate your admission to university, and you can stop crying in front of the guests tomorrow." Hong Tao taught Hong Ze.

Hong Ze nodded absently.

Hong Ze's father sneered, "With your virtue, if I were that girl, I wouldn't like you either!"

Hong Ze gasped, tensed up, and looked at his father suddenly, "You, how do you know?"

Hong Ze's father folded the newspaper in his hand, "How do I know? You went all the way to Beijing because of the girl, and you were lowered a few grades when you applied for the volunteer program. How could I not know if you applied for Beijing University of Technology? "

Hong Ze froze, hearing his father's tone, seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his behavior.

Hong Ze didn't know how to explain to his father, "If I don't follow her to Beijing, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life..." Hong Ze whispered.

With a cold face, Hong Ze's father picked up the newspaper again, flipped through it, and ignored Hong Ze.

Hong Ze's mother couldn't stand it anymore, she came out of the kitchen to dry her hands, and said to Hong Ze, "Why don't you understand what your father means? If you don't go to Beijing with her, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Sighing at home and doing nothing, won't you regret it later?"

"I have paid such a high price for lowering the grades of the university, but Mom sees that you want to just give up?"

Hong Ze quickly denied, "How is it possible! How could I just give up like this?"

Hong Ze's mother said, "That girl has already gone to Beijing, why are you still lying at home every day?"

Hong Ze was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his mother in disbelief, and then at his father, only to see his mother smiling at her, and his father snorted again, shaking the newspaper in his hand.

Hong Ze hesitated and asked, "You mean... let me go to Beijing too? Don't you want to treat me tomorrow?"

Hong Ze's mother glared at Hong Ze, "Tomorrow is a treat, and you won't be able to leave before tomorrow! But have you bought your train ticket? Have you packed your luggage? Don't these things have to be done a few days in advance?"

Hong Ze's eyes suddenly brightened, and he glanced back and forth between his parents, "Are you encouraging me to leave for Beijing?"

Hong Ze's father sneered, "Otherwise? Don't tell me you're moaning at home every day, and the things you want come to you? Whether it's studies, career or love, you have to work hard to get good results. It's as simple as that. Reason, Dad thought you would understand."

Hong Ze's eyes suddenly had a figure, but he heard Hong Ze's father throw cold water, "But the girl is so good, your hard work may be in vain."

"And have you ever really reflected on your mistakes?" Hong Ze's father asked, "I think if I don't mention you, you don't intend to reflect on yourself?"

Hong Ze looked at his father in bewilderment.

Hong Ze's father said, "If you want to go to Beijing to go to university, you can. But if you go to Beijing, you can only go to a school like Beijing University of Technology? Are you not sure if you are the best?"

Hong Ze's father glanced over, and Hong Ze felt that his whole being had been seen through. He heard his father say, "You apply for the school, partly for the sake of being sure that you will be able to go to Beijing, and partly for the sake of your own heart." Satisfaction? Do you feel that if you do this, you will be sacrificed, and the girl will be moved?"

Hong Ze's mother explained, "Emotional matters are the most taboo. Others are not doing much. You yourself feel that you have sacrificed a lot, and you have touched yourself in a mess."

"If you really like a girl, you have to figure out what she likes and what she doesn't like, and give her what she really wants, not what you want to give." Hong Ze's mother said slowly.

Hong Ze woke up suddenly, he found that what his parents said today actually had the same meaning as what Lin Jinglan said to him that day.But that day Lin Jinglan's words were to reject him, of course they didn't make it so clear, but today's parents' words were to help him wake up.

Give people what they really want, not what you want!

Hong Ze repeated these words silently in his heart.

He was wrong before, and he was always giving what he wanted to give.

"I'll go to the train station to see if there are tickets for a few days later." Hong Ze got up and was about to go out.

"Have you really thought about going to Yunnan instead of Guangdong?" Zhang's mother asked Zhang Wenzhong, "I'm going to buy a ticket soon, so make up your mind quickly, or you won't be able to change it later."

Zhang Wenzhong smiled and said, "Didn't it be agreed a long time ago? If I can pass the provincial champion exam, you will accompany me to Guangdong. If I fail the exam, I will accompany you to Yunnan."

Zhang's mother sighed, "At that time, I was just talking casually. It's rare that you are free after the college entrance examination. Why don't you go to the place you most want to go?"

Zhang Wenzhong insisted, "Let's go to Yunnan." He heard that Guangdong, the frontier of reform and opening up, is developing very rapidly.

Zhang's mother knew her son's character, nodded to show that she knew, and persuaded Zhang Wenzhong, "It's just a provincial champion, don't take it too seriously."

Zhang Wenzhong nodded, indicating that he knew.Mama Zhang left with a sigh. She knew that her son had always been competitive and always wanted to be the first. He had indeed had a smooth journey from childhood to adulthood, and he had never returned home. She was very proud of her son at first, but now she is worried about his personality. Will not be able to withstand a little setback.

The phone rang, Zhang Wenzhong walked a few steps quickly, and answered the phone at home, "Hello? Uncle Bao." Zhang Wenzhong raised his heart, trying to look as nonchalant as possible.

"Do you know which university the provincial champion went to?" Zhang Wenzhong tried to calm down his voice.

"Okay, I see, Tsinghua University..." Zhang Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came back to his senses, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Bao, and I will trouble you."

Zhang Wenzhong hung up the phone and stood still, Lin Jinglan went to Tsinghua... This was almost the last thing he wanted.

Although I don't want to admit my thoughts that cannot be seen, they do exist.

Zhang Wenzhong thought that if Lin Jinglan made a mistake in volunteering and went to a school that was much worse than Tsinghua University and Peking University, he would tell himself, so what if the test scores are high?It's useless if you can't keep up with your vision and knowledge. Even if you get the highest score in the province, you can't get into the best university.

If Lin Jinglan went to the same school as him, Peking University, then he would tell himself that he still had a chance, the temporary college entrance examination results were nothing, and he still had a chance to prove that he was better than Lin Jinglan in university!

But Lin Jinglan went to Tsinghua, which was as good as Peking University, but it happened to be not the same school as him, so he had no chance to compare with Lin Jinglan.

Zhang Wenzhong was silent for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed back, "Uncle Bao, please check for me again, what major did Lin Jinglan apply for in Tsinghua University?"

Uncle Bao's voice came from the receiver, "Energy."

Zhang Wenzhong was taken aback, but he didn't expect such an answer, "Okay, I see, thank you." Hanging up the phone absent-mindedly, Zhang Wenzhong's feelings became more complicated and difficult to distinguish, and he turned out to be an energy major...

He took out his admission letter and looked at the Chinese Department written on it...these two majors are really far apart.Zhang Wenzhong could almost imagine that they would take completely different paths, how should he compare this?
Now that the house has been bought, there is no reason to leave it empty.Lin Jinglan first asked someone to paint the house, and then started to find a carpenter to make furniture.

After buying this house, she really didn't have any money in her hands, so she had to plan and save every step of the way.Lin Jinglan didn't let Zhou Hui know about this for the time being. Anyway, the rented house has already paid one month's rent, and she needs to live in it for a full month. This month's time is just for her to tidy up the house and add all the furniture and other things.

As long as Lin Jinglan thinks that this house in Wudaokou belongs to her, bubbles of happiness will pop up in her heart, and she will be full of energy!
She bought a suite in the future universe center!

As long as you think about it this way, the tediousness and exhaustion of painting walls, making furniture, and shopping are nothing.What's more, being able to personally arrange the place to live in the next few years, no matter how you think about it, it is full of happiness.

Lin Jinglan asked Zhou Hui from time to time, "What color cushion do you like?"

Zhou Hui looked at Lin Jinglan warily, "What kind of cushions should I buy again? If you want, how many can Mom make for you?"

Lin Jinglan shook her head, "I'm not buying it, I'm just asking, what color do you really like?"

Zhou Hui replied, "Orange, brown."

Lin Jinglan nodded. It seems that Zhou Hui, like her, likes warm colors. This is easy to handle, and the overall arrangement will be more harmonious.

Two days later, Lin Jinglan asked Zhou Hui again, "Where are the curtains? What color do you like?"

Zhou Hui looked up at the pretty new curtains in the rented house, wondering what Lin Jinglan wanted to do, "Aren't their curtains pretty good? Do you want to change them?"

Lin Jinglan said, "If you don't want to change, I'll just ask."

Seeing that Lin Jinglan has been like this these days, Zhou Hui asked her what color she likes and what style she likes from time to time, but she really didn't see what Lin Jinglan really bought back.Thinking of this, Zhou Hui felt relieved, it seemed that Lin Jinglan was really just asking.

Zhou Hui thought about it seriously, "I like darker pink or light brown."

Lin Jinglan nodded, dark pink and brown, Zhou Hui's aesthetic preferences are really similar to hers.Lin Jinglan decided that the curtains in her bedroom should be dark pink, and the curtains in Zhou Hui's bedroom should be brown.

Gu Qi knew that Lin Jinglan was hiding Zhou Hui's arrangement of the house, and he often came to help when he was free.This morning, when Lin Jinglan went out, she saw Gu Qi standing at the door again. Lin Jinglan was not surprised and asked, "Brother Gu, have you had breakfast yet?"

Gu Qi did not answer Lin Jinglan's question, but said directly, "There is a notice posted on the bulletin board at the school gate that someone is looking for you."
