After getting off work at six o'clock, Su Qing rode his little Mulan motorcycle all the way back to the family home in the living area. Entering the house, the kitchen wafted out the unique aroma of the Su family's food, and Su Qing shouted sweetly: "Mom, I'm back." ”

A face that was still dignified and graceful with a little wind and frost poked out of the kitchen, it was Su Qing's mother Liu Yan: "Qingqing, wash your hands and prepare for dinner." ”

"Hey, I know, Mom!" Su Qing entered his room and took off his coat, took out the book "Ordinary World" from his bag and read it roughly for a while, and then put it on his desk.

During the meal, Liu Yan looked at her daughter from time to time. Since the death of her husband, this precious girl in front of her has become the only concern of this poor woman in the world, and she can't wait to pour all her love into her daughter without reservation.

"Qingqing, is it okay to go to work today?" asked Liu Yan intimately.

"Well, it's okay, it's okay as usual. Su Qing paused and asked cautiously, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Liu Yan saw her daughter's smile with begging, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so polite to my mother, you can say something about it." ”

"Well...... Su Qing plucked up his courage before he said, "I...... I want to repeat my university entrance exam. ”

"Repeat the university entrance examination?" Liu Yan frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to take the university entrance examination?"

"Mom, I don't want to stay with us for the rest of my life, I want to be admitted to college and see the world outside. Su Qing said coquettishly.

"No!" Liu Yan's face sank, and he said categorically: "The factory is willing to recruit you in, and it was in exchange for your father's life." You are now a regular worker in the factory, and you have a formal establishment. If you go to university, if you don't pass the exam, how can you go back to work in the factory? No! Absolutely not!"

Su Qing pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't like my current job, except for cleaning all day long, I just make up my bed, and when I go to work, I seem to be able to see what I will be like in a few decades." ”

"Alas!" Liu Yan saw that her daughter was disobedient, and sighed: "When your father was here, he really wanted you to be admitted to the university, but you couldn't get in." Now that you've been in class for a year, aren't you even more unable to take the exam now? Qingqing, good boy, listen to your mother, stop thinking nonsense. Work hard, find a suitable man to marry in the future, and have children in this life. ”

"No!" Su Qing was willing to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life like his mother, and blurted out: "Sun Shaoping, as the son of a poor peasant, also knows that he can leave his hometown and work hard to go outside in the vast world. Why can't I?"

"Who is Sun Shaoping? Your new friend?" Liu Yan pricked her ears, she didn't want her precious girl to have anything to do with a young man from the countryside.

"Oh, what friend? It's a character from a novel that Geng Gong gave me. Su Qing said slightly.

"Who is Geng Gong? Why haven't I heard of it?" Liu Yan asked a series of questions, and the girl was speechless, not knowing how to speak.

"If you don't say it, I'll ask Xiaojun, and he will definitely tell me. Do you say it?" "Sending books to each other between men and women means an exchange of feelings, Liu Yan is worried that his daughter will be deceived, so he doesn't dare to be careless.

Su Qing reluctantly confessed: "Geng Gong is not from our factory, he is an engineer from the Donghai Provincial Chemical Design Institute, and he came to our factory to provide construction services." ”

"Oh, from the design institute!" Liu Yan pondered carefully, and suddenly said, "Did he encourage you to take the university entrance examination?"

"Ah!?" Su Qing didn't expect her mother to guess so accurately, and her shocked expression immediately betrayed herself.

"This guy is really not a good thing!" Liu Yan said angrily: "If you dare to seduce and bewitch my girl, I will settle accounts with him." ”

's mother wanted to question Geng Zhiyuan in person, but Su Qing was so frightened that she tried every possible explanation and comfort, and finally coaxed her mother to relax. Liu Yan had eaten more salt than Su Qing had eaten, and he promised his daughter not to disturb Geng Zhiyuan on the surface, but secretly he had his own plans.

The next morning, Liu Yan sat in the back bucket of the three-wheeled motorcycle of the neighborhood committee and entered the factory. After her husband died, the factory arranged Liu Yan into the neighborhood committee of the living area to help manage the trivial matters of the parents in the living area. The water, electricity and other public facilities in the living area are all repaired and maintained by the nitrogen fertilizer factory, so Liu Yan needs to go to the factory every once in a while to reimburse some expenses.

As soon as he entered the factory, Liu Yan directly found Liu Jun and asked him to lead him to meet Geng Zhiyuan. Liu Jun noticed that his aunt was not good, and there was something wrong, so he wanted to shirk but didn't dare to offend, so he had to take her to Geng Zhiyuan's office.

Geng Zhiyuan was idle in the office and studied the drawings carefully, when he suddenly saw Liu Jun leading a middle-aged aunt who looked like Su Qing and walked in. His heart moved, he stood up and smiled politely: "Liu Gong, this is ......"

Liu Jun whispered embarrassedly: "This is my aunt, Su Qing's mother." ”

Liu Yan saw a tall young man standing up in the office, wearing glasses and an elegant face, upright and sunny. Before entering the house, Liu Yan was still angry, but when he saw Geng Zhiyuan, he immediately disappeared.

"Auntie, hello!" Since it was Su Qing's mother, Geng Zhiyuan was busy and greeted politely.

"Good! good!" Liu Yan looked Geng Zhiyuan up and down, secretly surprised in his heart.

When Liu Yan was a child, she once learned a little face-to-face technique from her grandfather, and according to her observation, Geng Zhiyuan's thick eyebrows, big eyes, and strong nose and mouth are typical of success. People with this kind of face generally have a firm will, and once they see the goal, they will definitely insist that Qingshan will not relax, and they will not give up until they reach their goal.

"No wonder Qingqing mentioned him, this young man looks like he is inherently kind, not a bad person. Liu Yan's mind turned slightly, and he explained with a smile: "I heard Qingqing say that there is a young engineer from the design institute in the factory, and I happened to come to the factory to do something, so I came to take a look." You're busy. ”

Geng Zhiyuan saw that she was about to leave as soon as they met, so he had to say politely: "Auntie, walk slowly......"

Liu Yan came and went quickly, and after she left, Geng Zhiyuan touched his head and couldn't figure out why: "Strange! Strange! Su Qing's mother came to see me? I'm not his daughter's boyfriend, why did she come to see me? Is it because she dislikes me and instigated her daughter to take the ......university entrance examination?"

Thinking of Liu Yan's angry face when he first entered the door, Geng Zhiyuan said firmly: "Yes!

He thought again, "That's not right. Since you came to me to ask for your guilt, why didn't you say a word and left? Is it because my protagonist's aura works? It's really strange!"

After returning to the guest house for lunch at noon, Geng Zhiyuan called Su Qing aside and talked about it: "Your mother went to the factory to look for me in the morning." ”

"Huh!?" Su Qing said nervously: "My mother didn't care about you, did she?"

Geng Zhiyuan saw that she was so frightened that her complexion changed, and said with a smile: "Look at what scared you, you just said two words." Your mother is very nice and kind to me. ”

Su Qing smiled shyly and said, "Brother Geng, I'm sorry." My mom didn't want me to go to college, so I guess I went to you for this. ”

"I think it's for this, too. Geng Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Xiao Su, it's late August, if you want to take the university entrance examination, you have to hurry up and make up your mind, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"I ...... I ......" Su Qing snorted: "But my mother doesn't want to, and I can't help it." ”

"You decide your own path, no one can make up your mind for you. Geng Zhiyuan tried his best to agitate: "Choice means that there are gains and losses, and the gains and losses are different depending on what you care about." Isn't there such a saying? If you don't give up something, how can you get the goal you want?"

"Brother Geng......" Su Qing is only nineteen years old after all, where can he make up his mind: "I'll go back and discuss it with my mother." ”

When she came home for dinner in the evening, Su Qing hadn't figured out how to speak, and Liu Yan suddenly said to her daughter: "Today I told your Uncle Deng that you want to go to university, and he promised to find a way to do it for you, so let's wait for his news." ”

Su Qing was stunned by the sudden change in her mother's attitude: "Mom...... You?"

"What am I?" Liu Yan smiled softly: "Mom has figured it out, my daughter is so good, she shouldn't live in this mountain like me for a lifetime." ”

"Thank you! Mom!" Su Qing was so excited that she put down her chopsticks and snuggled into her mother's arms and cried: "I must study hard and be admitted to university." ”

"Alas......" Liu Yan stroked her daughter's black and smooth hair and sighed: "I was selfish back then, and I had to ask your father to come back to our factory." He could have stayed in Beijing, but if I had followed him to Beijing, maybe he wouldn't have ......."

"Mom......" Su Qing saw her mother crying, and hurriedly comforted: "Our mother and son are doing well, and Dad can feel at ease when he watches from the sky." ”

"Well...... Liu Yan wiped his tears and said: "Last year, you suffered a loss in English in the college entrance examination, I heard that Geng Gong graduated from a famous university, so I can't ask him to help you tutor in English." ”

Mother actually offered to invite Geng Zhiyuan to tutor her, Su Qing couldn't turn around for a while, and said in shock: "Mom, didn't you say that he is not a good thing, and blame him for seducing me......?"

Liu Yan's old face turned red, and he couldn't tell his daughter that he was secretly meeting, so he defended: "Mom, didn't you just figure it out? Why don't you have a ready-made teacher? If he doesn't want to, we can pay him." ”

"Not really. With Su Qing's understanding of Geng Zhiyuan, if he wants to tutor him in English, he will never ask for any payment. It's just that Su Qing is at the age of a young girl, and she has subconsciously regarded the tall, handsome, mature and elegant Geng Zhiyuan as the object of her secret love.

At noon the next day, when Su Qing told Geng Zhiyuan that her mother agreed to her to take the college entrance examination and wanted him to tutor in English, Geng Zhiyuan was slightly surprised: "Let me tutor you in English?

Su Qing thought he was unwilling, so he pursed his lips and said, "You asked me to take the university entrance examination, and now you don't want to help me, what do you mean?"

"No......" Geng Zhiyuan smiled: "You little girl, did I say I wouldn't help you? I'm just very strange how your mother's attitude changed so quickly." ”

"Of course my mother is for my good!" Su Qing asked, "Brother Geng, you have no problem tutoring me in English, right?"

"Nonsense!" Geng Zhiyuan said proudly: "When I was in college, I scored more than 90 points in the fourth-level test and more than 80 points in the sixth-level exam. ”

"Great!" Su Qing clapped her hands happily and said, "I'll go home and get the books after eating, let's start in the afternoon." ”

"Xiao Su ......" Geng Zhiyuan smiled evilly: "I'm a very strict teacher, if you regret it, it's too late now." ”

Su Qing knew that he was testing himself, and immediately said resolutely: "Master Yan is a high apprentice, if I don't do anything well, you can criticize it." ”

"Good!" Geng Zhiyuan praised: "Ambition! There is a way to endure hardships in order to become a superior person." I will be strict with you, and I hope you can also hold on to your beliefs. ”

Su Qing stretched out his little hand and said, "Geng Gong, let's give a high-five, I must be admitted to university." ”

"Okay!" Geng Zhiyuan also stretched out his hand, and as soon as the two hands touched, Su Qing suddenly held his hand tightly, and a warm current rushed down his arm to his heart.

Geng Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise, Su Qing smiled, and she was extremely charming in a moment!
