Chapter 56 Study Abroad
This week, Lin Yanmei specially invited Wang Guizhi to her home to play.
Wang Guizhi has a sweet mouth, is also very temperamental, and there is nothing wrong with treating people, so Lin Yanmei's parents like their daughter's roommate, and they heard that Wang Guizhi is still writing manuscripts to make money, so they praised her well.
"Gui Zhi, you see that as soon as you come over, my parents will praise you," Lin Yanmei pursed her lips and pretended to be angry, "Who is their daughter!"
"Okay, good," Wang Guizhi knew that Lin Yanmei was joking, and there was a little smile in her words, "Don't make trouble, your parents really love you, it's much better than my biological parents." ”
Wang Guizhi is now able to calmly tell the situation of her original family in front of Lin Yanmei.
Lin Yanmei knew that Wang Guizhi's biological parents were not good to her, and Wang Guizhi almost didn't go to school. She didn't really want to talk about this topic, she always felt that it would make Wang Guizhi sad, so she changed the topic: "Guizhi, do you know why my family's family conditions are better than others?"
"Why?" Wang Guizhi was actually quite curious, but she knew that it was too rude to ask directly.
"Like the aunt before me, she opened a boutique and did a good job. In addition, I have a few relatives and aunts who are doing business abroad, and they all love me. ”
Wang Guizhi heard Lin Yanmei say this, and only then did she understand why their family conditions were much better than ordinary people. In these years, those who can do business in foreign countries are quite rich, so Lin Yanmei's family will definitely not have a bad life.
Wang Guizhi thought of his unsuccessful parents again, and felt that human reincarnation really requires technology.
"My mother's background is not very good, and she has suffered a lot," Lin Yanmei recalled to herself, saying, "When I was a child, my family's family conditions were not very good, and later my aunt went abroad to do business, helped my family, and also took my parents to do business, so my family became rich." My mother has suffered a lot before, so she spoils me more and doesn't want me to suffer too. ”
She paused and said, "I also told you that when I was a child, I watched other people take pictures so I became interested in photography, and then I pestered my mother to buy me a camera, and it happened that my birthday was approaching, so my mother bought me one, and I also took a lot of photos." ”
As she spoke, Lin Yanmei showed Wang Guizhi the camera she got when she was a child. Wang Guizhi took a look and found that even now, this camera is very expensive, at least she can't afford half of it with her current money. Not to mention how rich the people who could afford this camera were eighteen or nineteen years ago.
However, Wang Guizhi didn't feel sour, she was happy that her good friend could have such a good family.
"The photos here are all very good-looking," Wang Guizhi flipped through the photos of the camera and felt that Lin Yanmei was actually quite talented, "It's good that you are indeed a photographer." ”
"Alas," Lin Yanmei couldn't stop sighing when she talked about photography, she held her chin with her hands, and her face was unstoppably sad, "I told my parents to study abroad, but I was alone when I went abroad, and it was so far abroad, my parents didn't worry about me, so they didn't let me go." ”
When Wang Guizhi heard this reason, he was surprised: "I thought they didn't agree with you playing photography." ”
"That's just their excuse," Lin explained, "and I later learned that they just didn't worry about me." ”
"Then why don't you go and talk to your parents again, what if you agree?" Wang Guizhi proposed.
"No, they must have rejected me again. Lin Yanmei rejected the proposal without thinking about it.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Wang Guizhi said to her with a smile, "Did you only talk about your dreams when you said it before?"
"That's right," Lin Yanmei didn't understand what Wang Guizhi meant, and replied honestly, "Otherwise, what would I say." ”
Wang Guizhi smiled and touched Lin Yanmei's head, thinking that she was still too young: "You, this reason is too empty." You only talk about your dreams, but you don't say why you want to learn photography, find a reason. Didn't the Chinese teacher say that when you write essays, you should see the big from the small? In the same way, when you talk to your parents about this matter, you can also talk about it from the small. For example, you can say that it is for the sake of the people, but you have to think of the reasons for this. ”
Lin Yanmei thinks that Wang Guizhi's words are very reasonable, her parents are very patriotic, and it must be easy to start from this aspect!
The two discussed for a while and decided to start from the big to the smallest.
Lin Yanmei grabbed her father Lin Zhize, who was about to walk to the living room to watch TV: "Dad, I have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Zhize asked casually.
"You come to the study with me first, this matter is still very important. Lin Yanmei pulled her father to the study.
In the study, Lin Yanmei swallowed her saliva and was about to say, "Dad, do you remember what I said before, I want to be a photographer?"
Lin Zhize immediately reacted, Lin Yanmei wanted to discuss this matter: "No, there is nothing to talk about." ”
He directly rejected Lin Yanmei.
"Dad," Lin Yanmei said softly to Lin Zhize, "You just listen to me, and it's not too late to refuse when you're done." ”
Lin Zhize watched this usually well-behaved daughter suddenly become like this, so he decided to listen to what she had to say first.
"Dad, do you know our country's current international status?" asked Lin Yanmei anxiously.
"I know," Lin Zhize nodded and said, "Does it matter?"
"That's right, Dad, you also know that our country's international status is a bit low at the moment, so many people are prejudiced against us," Lin Yanmei said slowly, "So I think I can do something for our country." If I were a photographer, I would be able to take beautiful photos of our motherland, so that more people could understand our country and no longer look at us with colored glasses. ”
Lin Zhize was silent for a while, he felt that his daughter's words were indeed like this.
"Dad, I really like photography, and I also love my country, I want to proudly show the best side of the country to foreign countries, so that they can see what our country is like and no longer have prejudices," Lin Yanmei saw that her father did not immediately speak against herself as usual, she felt that there was a play, and hurriedly said, "And you don't have to worry about me, I am not alone abroad, and my sister-in-law and uncle accompany me, they will not let me be wronged." ”
Lin Zhize raised his head to look at his daughter, his daughter was very firm at the moment, and her eyes were bright.
Lin Zhize was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "I really can't do anything about your daughter, if you want to go, just go." ”
In the end, Lin Yanmei's family was moved.
The biggest difficulty is the opposition of the family, and this difficulty has been overcome, and the next difficulty is to learn English.
Although Lin Yanmei's English grades are good, there is still a big gap between her and studying photography abroad, so Lin Yanmei's family decided to drop out of school and hire someone to tutor Lin Yanmei in English.
When Lin Yanmei went through the withdrawal procedures, she still pulled Wang Guizhi and cried, saying that she would definitely miss Wang Guizhi, and told her that she must not be bullied at school.
Wang Guizhi agreed one by one, and she was also very uncomfortable, after all, Lin Yanmei was the only friend of Wang Guizhi in her life.
The news of Lin Yanmei's withdrawal from school shocked everyone.
Lin Yanmei said the news herself, she sorted out all her things with a smile and said goodbye to everyone in the dormitory, regardless of whether they had a good relationship or not.
And Pu Meili has long been unpleasant to look at Lin Yanmei, she has always felt that Lin Yanmei, who is wealthy in this family, looks down on herself. She also said bad things about Lin Yanmei before, but she only dared to whisper it with others, and didn't dare to say it in public, because she was afraid that Lin Yanmei's family conditions were good. And now that Lin Yanmei is gone, she can speak freely to her heart's content.
"Do you know why Lin Yanmei suddenly dropped out of school?" Pu Meili suddenly asked after seeing Lin Yanmei leave.
"Why? Do you know?" asked Zhou Jing curiously.
Pu Meili nodded, with a smug smile on her face: "Of course I know! Doesn't she have a boyfriend? Why quit, it must be that her family does not agree, she is pregnant again and is ready to elope! Look at how big her belly is!"
In fact, Lin Yanmei had a big belly because she ate Wang Guizhi's rice, she thought it was too delicious and ate a lot, but she still ate it.
Pu Meili thought that Wang Guizhi didn't know the reason why Lin Yanmei dropped out of school, so she wanted to go to the dormitory next door to publicize it.
"Enough!" Wang Guizhi couldn't help it anymore, the separation with her best friend was sad enough, but there were still fools talking nonsense here, "Why are you gossiping about other people?"
Pu Meili saw that it was Wang Guizhi, she had never taken Wang Guizhi seriously, she glanced at her, and continued to say in a weird manner: "Heh, who should I be." Why, don't gossip about her, do you say yours?"
"Pu Meili, I advise you to be careful, if you gossip everywhere, you won't be afraid of retribution?" Wang Guizhi said very angrily.
"What retribution? Do I have to be struck by lightning if I tell the truth? Oh my God. Pu Meili was not convinced, she didn't expect that Wang Guizhi, who had always been plain and transparent, would dare to oppose herself in public.
"I said before that I was going to work part-time in the hospital, but the next day the counselor said that someone reported me for instigating others to skip classes and work, which is not what you said? The counselor also secretly told me that it was you who said," In fact, the counselor didn't say it, but Wang Guizhi was sure that her own incident was reported by these eight women, "And I followed Lin Yanmei home this week, of course I know why she dropped out of school." She dropped out of school to study abroad, not a pregnancy elopement at all, you slander other people's innocence and make up some decent words!"
Wang Guizhi's mouth is very fast, and most of her quarreling skills are learned from Zhao Huixiu.
As long as the voice is loud, as long as the speed of speech is fast, don't say anything unreasonable, and ignore it can beat others.
She sneered, and then continued: "Pu Meili, since what you said is the truth, do you dare to bet with me? I told Lin Yanmei about you slandering her as having a boyfriend's child and eloping, do you think Lin Yanmei will sue you? This rumor is illegal." If it's true, their family will naturally not do anything to you. But if it's fake, they're going to take you to court, and guess the judge thinks who's going to be true?"
"You also know that Lin Yanmei's family is rich, and they can still afford this little money for a small lawsuit. Pu Meili, do you dare to gamble? Huh?" Wang Guizhi deliberately made the matter bigger, just to bluff Pu Meili.
And Pu Meili also fell for the trick, and she naturally didn't expect that she would be sued in court for her nonsense. She shut up and never spoke again.
The roommates thought that this matter was over, but who knew that Hong Shuyan suddenly came out again:
"Pu Meili also said bad things about Zhou Jing and Carina Lau, I slept in the dormitory, and she thought I was asleep and no one in the dormitory said it. ”
All of a sudden, the dormitories exploded.
They thought that Pu Meili only spoke ill of others to them, but they didn't want to be the one who was slandered.
Pu Meili was blamed by her roommates, and in anger, she slammed the door and left the dormitory.
