Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 87

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Hui, Yang Hai, Hong Ze's parents and Hong Ze's elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew sat together. There was a table full of dishes in front of them, but none of the seven moved their chopsticks, and they all stared at the front. TV screen, watching the Spring Festival Gala without blinking.

This is one of the rare New Year's Eves when Lin Jinglan and Hong Ze did not reunite with their families at home, but the whole family was extremely happy.

Zhou Hui pushed Yang Hai, "Go and order dumplings, and I will call you when my daughter comes out."

Yang Hai sat without getting up, "What if my daughter comes out as soon as I leave, don't go, don't go."

Hong Ze's father said, "There is no rush to cook dumplings. There are so many dishes on the table, so I'm not hungry. Just cook them before twelve o'clock." Saying this, he didn't have the slightest intention to get up and go to the kitchen to cook dumplings.

In the end, it was Hong Ze's sister-in-law who went to the kitchen to cook dumplings, and repeatedly told Lin Jinglan that when she appeared on Chunwang, she must call her loudly so that the firecrackers outside were too loud to be heard.

This Spring Festival Gala, Lin Jinglan will come to the stage to say a few words. Like several other industry leaders, she will be commended on the Spring Festival Gala and say a few words at the same time.Hong Ze went to accompany Lin Jinglan, waiting to pick her up after the end.

In fact, when the Spring Festival Gala program team invited Lin Jinglan, they were a little hesitant. They wanted to invite Lin Jinglan because Lin Jinglan was the founder of Qingjing Scholarship.But Lin Jinglan's other identity made them hesitate. Lin Jinglan is also an academician, and she is the youngest academician.

It is obviously a great honor for many accomplished people who have contributed to society to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and say a few words.But when her achievements reached Lin Jinglan's level, the Spring Festival Gala felt that she couldn't invite her, and worried that Lin Jinglan would not attend.

But Lin Jinglan's attraction to the program group of the Spring Festival Gala is too great. They have invited people from other fields. If it is said that the academic field has influenced young people, it is definitely Lin Jinglan.

In the end, the program group of the Spring Festival Gala still gritted their teeth, "Please! It is said that Academician Lin is a very easy-going person, without airs. Although Academician Lin may not be free to come to the Spring Festival Gala during his busy schedule, how will we know if we don't try it."

After Lin Jinglan received the invitation, she really wanted to refuse.But after Zhou Hui and Yang Hai heard the news, they really wanted to see Lin Jinglan on the Spring Festival Gala, but Lin Jinglan couldn't convince them at all.

For Zhou Hui and his generation, going to the Spring Festival Gala is still a very sacred thing, and the significance of it is extraordinary.Afterwards, Lin Jinglan had no choice but to compromise. Moreover, Lin Jinglan felt that she was too busy on weekdays and didn't have much time to spend with her family. Since Zhou Hui and the others had such a wish, she would be satisfied as long as she could.

On the TV screen, the host of the Spring Festival Gala was talking, Hong Ze stared slightly, and leaned forward a little.Zhou Hui also noticed it, and shouted, "Hey, is it time for Jing Lan to come out?" She raised her voice twice, and shouted towards the kitchen, "Her sister-in-law! Come quickly!"

Standing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Jinglan rarely put on makeup. After all, when the stage lights were on, her face would look extraordinarily pale without makeup.

When Lin Jinglan came to the stage, the audience in the audience all looked dazed. They didn't know why Lin Jinglan stood up.When the host respectfully called Lin Jinglan Academician Lin, the audience gasped one after another.

Although they all knew that Lin Jinglan was the youngest academician in China, they didn't have such a big shock at all until they saw him directly.Standing beside the host, Lin Jinglan didn't talk much, but she had a calm and introverted aura that made people want to be convinced involuntarily.

Although the host is bright, beautiful, and humorous, Lin Jinglan's aura is obviously stronger than the host's when she stands beside her.And Lin Jinglan looked really young and beautiful, she looked about the same age as the host.It surprised many people who thought that the academician must be an old man.

"Academician Lin has made outstanding academic contributions, but today we invite Academician Lin to come because of another identity of Academician Lin - the founder of the Qingjing Scholarship." The host took out several letters from his hand and began to read, "Here are a few letters we have selected..."

At the same time, many students from all over the country, even many graduates and working people from all walks of life, stared at the TV screen intently, hoping that the Spring Festival Gala would win the letter they sent to Lin Jinglan, but at the same time I don't have any hope, after all, there are too many students who have received the Qingjing Scholarship. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I don't know how many people will send letters to Lin Jinglan.

Ye Hui was also one of them. When she heard the first sentence read by the host, she clenched her hands tightly, but she still couldn't believe that the letter she wrote could be drawn. She thought in her heart, what if Who wrote the same at the beginning.When she heard the third sentence, Ye Hui finally couldn't hold back and screamed out loud. What the host was reading was her letter!

Ye Hui heard the host's voice, but her eyes fell on Lin Jinglan's face without blinking, for fear of missing a glance.

The sound from the TV was accompanied by the sound of guns outside the window, "If there is no senior sister Jinglan—although she is a professor and an academician now, when she established the Qingjing Scholarship to help me, she was just a senior sister in college ——Without her, my life today would be completely different, a life I can no longer imagine."

"College students in the 80s are very precious. As long as they can be admitted to college, even if the family can't afford the tuition fee, they don't need to worry about the tuition fee at all. But more people, like me, can't wait for the opportunity to go to college at all. The family couldn’t afford the tuition fees, and after graduating from junior high school, they had to drop out of school to work.”

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lin, for changing my original destiny, allowing me to finish high school and enter university, and see a completely different world. However, opening my horizons and improving my knowledge really can't solve any practical problems. , There will be too many difficulties and obstacles, whenever I can't hold on, want to let go of my strength and stop fighting, and let myself fall back into the mud again, I will think about Senior Lin..."

Before she knew it, Ye Hui had burst into tears.

The host changed another letter, Ye Hui wiped her face with a handkerchief, curled up on the sofa, took a deep breath, and began to listen to other people's stories.

Tonight, countless people like Ye Hui stood in front of the TV.Perhaps they were not lucky enough to be selected for the letter, but they all thought that being able to get the help of the Qingjing Scholarship was the luckiest thing in their lives.

When Lin Jinglan and Hong Ze walked out, tiny snowflakes floated in the sky.Lin Jinglan was wearing thin clothes, Hong Ze quickly wrapped the down jacket around her body, and after getting in the car, he handed her the thermos cup, "Drink some hot water."

Lin Jinglan leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm exhausted from high heels... I don't know how my mother wears them every day. By the way, did you call and ask your parents to go to bed first?"

Hong Ze smiled, "It's useless to call, they will definitely wait for you to go back."

Sure enough, when Lin Jinglan came home, none of the family members were asleep, and everyone looked excited.Zhou Hui tugged at Lin Jinglan and asked, "How does it feel to go to the Spring Festival Gala? It's good, right? Thinking that people all over the country can see my daughter... I'm so excited!"

Lin Jinglan looked at Zhou Hui who couldn't even close her mouth, and really couldn't empathize with Zhou Hui's feelings, "I want to know what it feels like, and then I will work hard on my career and do more charity. In the future, I will rely on my reputation as an outstanding entrepreneur and so on. Go to the Spring Festival Gala, feel it yourself."

Zhou Hui smiled and glared at Lin Jinglan, "I really have to go to the Spring Festival Gala later, so I can shut your mouth!"

Hong Ze's sister-in-law came out of the kitchen with dumplings, "I just cooked them for you two, and I saw you two driving back from the balcony, so I put them in the pot."

Lin Jinglan took it with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Turning around, she took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to Hong Qi, "New Year's money."

Hong Qi took it with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Auntie! Happy New Year, Auntie!"

Hong Ze's sister-in-law glanced away, saw the thickness of the red envelope, and said politely, "You gave him so much again. These years just the red envelopes, I don't know how much you gave this little bastard."

Lin Jinglan said with a smile, "Only once a year." Hong Ze's sister-in-law said, "Once a year, you usually give him flowers." Changing the subject, she asked, "You really don't plan to have a child? ? You and Hong Ze are both grown-ups. If you don’t want it anymore, it will be really difficult to get it in the future. Knowing that you two are busy, it’s okay for me and his brother to help you take care of the children later.”

Lin Jinglan shook her head, "Hong Ze and I discussed it a few years ago, no. Since we don't have the energy to educate our children, we simply don't want to have them. Children are not kittens or puppies. Just don't starve and don't freeze."

Hong Ze's sister-in-law thought for a while and nodded. She was just talking about it. If Lin Jinglan really gave birth to a child and left it to her to take care of her, she would really dare not.As a child of an academician, what kind of education does she have to make before it counts as a delay?No matter how hard she tried, she didn't have the ability.

Hong Ze heard the conversation between Lin Jinglan and his sister-in-law, and smiled and hugged Lin Jinglan's shoulders, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about us," jokingly said, "When we get old, can Qiqi ignore us?"

Hong Qi, who was eating snacks, jumped over when he heard the words, and shouted loudly, "Take care! I take care of uncle and aunt!"

There was a roar of laughter.

The sound of firecrackers outside the window gradually subsided, and the night sky covered by fireworks also reappeared the original quiet and pure black.

Lin Jinglan picked up Doudou who had just taken a bath, "Let's go, on the first day of the new year, I'll let you go to bed with Mom and Dad."
