Chapter Twenty-Seven: Dominating
On July 2nd, Xu Lan packed her luggage and bought a suitcase for this purpose, and all kinds of changing guys were loaded into it, Cheng Ran looked a little crying and laughing, "Mom, we are just going to take the test for one day, not moving." ”
Xu Lan said, "If you are away from home, be prepared." And your dad went there first, I don't know what the situation is, whether I brought enough things, and it is rare to go out once, I heard that the clothes in the Rongcheng Kowloon Wholesale Market are very cheap...... I'm going to go shopping then, you go to Rongcheng, visit your relatives, don't bring some special products, don't count on your dad for these things!"
The exam in Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School is on the 4th of July, the train on the evening of the second, the third is a day off, and the fourth is the exam, and then you may stay in Rongcheng for a day or two, and then you should come back.
Cheng Ran remembered that Xu Lan didn't go out very often, the car and horse were inconvenient in the past, and it was far away to be able to go on a business trip, the plane ticket was a luxury, not an ordinary family could afford it, and the train ticket was also a big expense, so the cost of going to Chengdu was very high.
There is no Taikoo Li in the center of the city in the later generations, Silverstone Plaza, at this time the Rongcheng Kowloon Lotus Pond Wholesale Market, is simply a shopping resort that radiates the whole province, and even has a reputation in China.
At this time, there is no such thing as e-commerce, and generally a city will have such a centralized business market, which brings together goods from merchants from all over the country, and then distributes them from here, and cities across the country are similar.
My mother has never been to Rongcheng much, but it does not hinder the woman's enthusiasm for shopping, because of her husband's career and her son's future study, she seems to have found a legitimate reason to let her travel to Rongcheng at ordinary times, and her response is generally to go to Rongcheng and waste money.
Seeing that Xu Lan looked like she was about to come over and prepare for the past, Cheng Ran said softly, "Mom, the family has moved over in the future, and it's not like you can go whenever you want." ”
"That's early. Xu Lan said, "I just don't need summer clothes, I'll go see what to buy......
Xu Lan said "go see what to buy", not "go buy more", in fact, Xu Lan also has times when she dresses up, but every time she thinks of her home, Cheng Ran's various uses, she naturally dissipates this idea.
Now she is still stuck in her previous thinking, but she also slowly feels the changes in the surrounding environment brought about by the change of the situation at home, Yuan Chun, who has always loved to come out in front of her to show off her family background, now her mouth is much tighter.
Many people in the unit privately discussed Fulong Company, and cast envious and admiring eyes on her.
There is a supervisor in the company who has always been above the top and difficult to deal with, but now he is very polite to her. In the past, Manager Tong's more introverted and shy wife came to the unit, just to say hello to her and nod her friends, but now she will take the initiative to ask about Cheng Ran's situation, and then talk about her daughter, Khotan, Cheng Ran is a legend in No. 1 Middle School, and pull her to chat for a long time.
Even the boss of the hotel found her and said frankly that the hotel will be restructured in the future, and many employees will have to buy out their seniority, but she Xu Lan can take a stake in the future hotel after it is private, and she does not need to take a share of money and leave like other people.
In the end, she still didn't make a difference, took the compensation like everyone else, and left the previous unit.
It seems that there are many things, the previous people and worldliness, have slowly changed with the growth of Cheng Feiyang Fulong, and Xu Lan is a little difficult to adapt. This period of time is also the window period when he left the unit that he has worked for more than ten years, and it happened that Cheng Ran was also going to take the exam, so he should take a break and go to Rongcheng. Cheng Feiyang had already taken the lead in passing with Fulong's senior management, and they had met him in the past at the address of the future company.
On the evening of the second day, the two rushed to Rongcheng by train.
In fact, in terms of the choice of transportation, Cheng Ran still prefers to planes, but with Xu Lan's concept, even if her family can afford to fly now, she will still be heartbroken when she sees the ticket money, so if she doesn't buy a ticket, at most it is a hard sleeper. So Cheng Ran accompanied her in the rumbling green train carriage to the south of Rongcheng.
When he arrived at the station in the early morning, Cheng Feiyang picked up the car, and Fulong bought an old electronics factory in the west of the city that could not be operated, and the factory was very happy about him, the boss of Fulong, and sent a special car to personally send him to the train station to pick up his family. Put the luggage into the trunk of Santana 2000, and the family rushed to the Pearl Hotel in Rongcheng Shiwai, which Cheng Feiyang had booked in advance.
This is to take care of Cheng Ran, the tenth middle school itself is located in the first ring road, there are many hotels outside, every year when the tenth middle school independent enrollment examination, the surrounding hotels are overcrowded, many families from the cities and counties in the province to accompany their children to the exam, every time the exam is looking forward to outside, that is called a spectacular.
Nowadays, too, when I check in, I see a lot of students and parents, and there are many family hotel solicitors holding "accommodation" signs on the roadside streets.
At the time of check-in, Cheng Ran asked tentatively, "Can you book two rooms?"
As a result, Xu Lan scolded her, "What do you need two rooms for? I'm your mother, what's not to live in together? How expensive are two rooms?"
Cheng Ran couldn't cry or laugh, he really wanted to say that he now has more than a million lying in his card, what can't he afford to live...... But don't say this kind of shocking words in front of Xu Lan, he and Cheng Qi are making money in board games together, they know, but they don't care about how much they earn, and they probably still have the mentality of giving their children privacy and letting him freely dispose of himself......
If this number is made public, it is estimated that the existing life will be chaotic, and there must be a lot of extraneous things, and my mother has been a little confused by the changes in the family recently, so I still don't add to her burden.
But in the end, Xu Lan still opened two rooms, and when she gave him the room card, she said, "You have grown up, you have to have a little privacy, but I remind you! Don't think that no one is staring at you and closing the house to play! No one is watching you unconsciously, and you won't be able to enter the high school you set when the time comes, it's your own business......
From the elevator all the way up to the corridor, Xu Lan was chattering. Maybe when I arrived, I was affected by the atmosphere of the family that was constantly checking in and coming to the test, and I started to get nervous. When my mother is nervous, she keeps talking.
In fact, Cheng Ran knew that not necessarily all of those who came to take the exam took his sophomore transfer exam, and many of them came to participate in the independent enrollment of the first year of high school.
Self-enrollment is the policy of the Education Bureau for these high schools. The enrollment of transfer students is not within the policy of the Education Bureau, nor is it large-scale recruitment, and the difficulty of the topic is known to everyone, so in fact, there are not too many students who come to take the transfer exam, and it is estimated that there are only one or two hundred. In fact, many people have never even heard of this exam before, and they will only be asked by phone to consult, and they will only be asked by the admissions department of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School to determine your school grades and rankings, and after determining their qualifications, they will let you come to collect the exam materials.
When I walked into my room, I hid quietly.
Cheng Ran put down the bag, listened to Xu Lan tidying up the trolley box in the next room, and said that he would bring him the washkerchief later.
He replied with a chorus of voices, went to the window, fumbled with the ropes, and pulled back the curtains.
At a glance, you can see the antique building, which has been holding on to its original site for more than 2,000 years, and has not moved in the wind and rain.
Outside the red riveted copper nail gate is a slip of six red columns, supporting the green glazed tile roof, behind this façade, is the shadow of the ancient building of the Han Dynasty, with the thick atmosphere of history standing majestically.
Li Hongzhang once presented this inscription "The world's Hanlin is backward, and Shuzhong Jiashi is half a protégé." The stone room is cloudy, and the Jinjiang wind and rain reading lamp. ”
Ji Xianlin wrote "a school in ancient and modern times, and it will shine for a thousand years".
He Qifang has taught Mandarin here, Cao Baohua has taught English here, and some stone plaque inscriptions can be seen everywhere in it, which are from Ma Zhitu, Li Fangming, Lu You Fan Zhongyan......
This building, which has gone through 2,000 years of mighty years, stands so majestically in front of countless people who are looking at her at this time.
With an air of inconquest.
