Chapter Forty-Nine: Time Moves Forward Like Water
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Cheng Ran didn't sleep much that night, and when he lay in bed, he could float a lot of things.
He actually understands Jiang's mother's attitude towards him, after all, who would believe that such a thing as rebirth will happen in this world, in fact, even if it is his own performance today, or even if he knows that the Tianxing Daoist Pavilion belongs to him in the future, with Jiang's mother's position, even if he can praise the rumored young man who built a commercial body "Tianxing Daoguan" with board games, cafes and Internet cafes as the main body without knowing that Cheng Ran is the founder......
But it doesn't really take that for granted.
In fact, from the internal building of the State Guesthouse that is enough to turn away ordinary officials in Rongcheng, as well as those luxury cars or public vehicles that are qualified enough to enter, and the license plate can make people with an eye in awe of the insiders, all of them show the clouds and mountains and energy behind this that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Through the imprint of what Xie Houming revealed and his own hook, what kind of family the Lu family and the Jiang family are has actually unfolded in front of Cheng Ran.
The guests at Jiang Hongshao's banquet are very easy-going, and their conversation is also cordial, but in fact, whether it is Luo Kang, who smiled and said that he would go to Australia to enjoy Qingfu after retirement, or Wei Xiuxian, who is well-connected, or Wei Weiqing's father Wei Zhonghong, who won the second-class award for scientific research and scientific progress in the research group, are all people who can mobilize a lot of resources and energy, promote many careers, and even affect many people's life circumstances.
The reason why they seemed so ordinary, intimate and enthusiastic at the feast...... It's because it's in front of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.
If it weren't for Cheng Ran's rebirth, he and Jiang Hongshao would be two completely different trajectories.
Even if he is reborn and returns, if it weren't for Lao Jiang's experience and encouragement, he probably wouldn't have made great efforts to study, and he knew that since he didn't want to take the road of academic research, he didn't have to compete too much for his grades, and he would be enough to enter a good university in the future.
However, Jiang Hongshao is different, whether it is the first in the school when she graduated from junior high school, or the competition for the position of the first high school in the province after entering the tenth middle school, she seems to be struggling to move forward.
In the past, Cheng Ran may not know what kind of mood this is.
But now that he has experienced the scene of Baoguo Temple, and has learned about the Lu family and the Jiang family from the future, he understands that when you stand on a platform that is promoted and supported by everyone, your starting point is already at that height, and you can only walk to a higher place.
Behind the long-awaited warmth and affection, there is actually a cold cruelty that is inconvenient to refine in the cracks of the world.
Cheng Ran didn't know what Jiang Hongshao's future life would be like in such a family, and where would their intersecting life trajectories end up.
Even if he was reborn, Cheng Ran, who no longer knew how the future of personnel would change in the future, actually found that what was in front of him was not a smooth road, but a majestic moat like from Jinggang Mountain to Tiananmen.
The beating sonic boy icon Cheng Sledgehammer and the ginger spring of the smiling girl icon on CQ also hope that their icon will bounce like the beating of the heart, and it will continue as always.
Hearing each other's hearts beating is the most important thing in the world.
......
In the blink of an eye, No. 10 Middle School ushered in the beginning of the school season, but in the week from Jiang Hongshao's house to the next week of school, Cheng Ran often asked Lao Jiang out to play, and Jiang Hongshao, who spent most of the winter vacation in the capital for the Spring Festival, seemed to be making up for the lack of this time.
The so-called no skirt no spring. When I met for the first time, Lao Jiang was wearing a light blue pleated skirt, a pair of white flats under the calves, short cotton socks at the ankles, and an off-white sports jacket with cuffs to resist the cold of Rongcheng in spring.
The whole person is full of youth and beauty, but she has the elegant temperament that is rare at her age.
Even walking in the city center of Chunxi Avenue, which is known as a cloud of beautiful women, Jiang Hongshao will receive countless frequent review eyes, including some beautiful girls who look at and observe.
In front of the vendors in the New Town Plaza, each of them took an ice cream cone, and the result of the treat was still Jiang Hongshao, on the grounds that they lost the fist guess. And the two of them licked the cone, and Jiang Hongshao's upper lip was foamed with ice cream, and Cheng Ran smiled vigorously, often receiving the old ginger's horizontal eyebrows.
They also went to the movies together, and they watched the world of Truman, the inspiration for countless later literary and film works, the ping-pong rescue soldier Ryan, and finally the otaku ancestor 1900 who died with his beloved piano along with the exploding ship, and so on, great movies and great lives......
Once at the end of the movie, I saw that it was past nine o'clock at night and close to ten o'clock, so Jiang Hongshao's mother called, and Cheng Ran hurriedly went out with her to take a taxi to take her home and go back by himself.
To a certain extent, Cheng Ran found that after going to Jiang Hongshao's house as a guest that day, Jiang's mother gave the greatest tolerance to their meeting, and the unimpeded way that Lao Jiang could go out to meet him every time he went out to meet him after watching a movie.
It seems that people still need to understand each other to get rid of inherent cognitive biases.
Of course, the two of them don't come out purely for fun, sometimes Jiang Hongshao will ask Cheng Ran to accompany her to go shopping and buy stationery, and when she sees a good-looking pen, she will buy one for Cheng Ran by the way, and sometimes Cheng Ran asks her to do her homework in a small café with vines on the walls of the old street, which is called "changing the environment".
In fact, the scenery of the old Jiang family's villa facing Du Fu's thatched cottage in Canglang Lake is probably unparalleled, but Jiang Hongshao still won't burst it as scheduled.
At the beginning, I would make a phone call to explain the day's plan, and sometimes the two often didn't have to communicate too much, often chatting on CQ with a sentence of "see you in the old place", or a simple word, "slow", and tacitly packed up things to meet. Because the two often do questions and read books together, the private café full of creepers' exterior walls is called "Slow Time".
Time is slow, but time also passes like water.
Jiang Hongshao also told him in the café that an American university sent her a school introduction email, although it was not a formal offer, but that probably meant that if she went through the process, the other party would definitely give her priority in admitting her to the school.
Cheng Ran was speechless, in this year, many top students in schools are proud to be able to apply to foreign universities, but when Lao Jiang is put here, someone else has sent her introduction materials from home in advance.
Jiang Hongshao also felt strange, although there were many students who actively applied for foreign schools at this time, but obviously she had not applied, why did people still send the introduction email, but I want to estimate that the competitions she participated in in the tenth middle school performed well, just like last year's science and technology innovation competition in Hong Kong City has an international nature, although they are all soy sauce countries, but this does not prevent Lao Mei's university with strong intelligence and analysis skills from targeting top students like her.
On another level, Cheng Ran estimated that Lao Jiang's family background was probably one of the obscure reasons why these universities targeted her.
Jiang Hongshao finally said that she didn't plan to study abroad, so those so-called letters of introduction were put aside.
These days are spent in the two of them doing problems together, reading books together, or discussing hot topics in the world.
They discussed the boundaries of literature, Jiang Hongshao even said that she was not taboo in reading meat and vegetarian food, and there was no shortage of many forbidden books in her own house, she sometimes gave priority to those things, the more red her face was, the more cheerful she watched, and she blushed when she said it, and she did not shy away from it.
They talk about literature, about movies, about philosophical issues, about financial phenomena, and so on...... But he didn't talk about the future.
Perhaps both of them have a tacit understanding that the future will be based on their own down-to-earth, rather than an ethereal castle in the air.
