Chapter Twenty-Four: One More Righteous Son
After Chinese New Year's Eve, Shang Zhenwu officially celebrated the New Year, and this year's New Year, he usually has to go to others to pay New Year's greetings. Especially Shang Zhenwu's father, Shang Tianyou, wants to pay New Year's greetings to his direct leaders, such as the deputy directors in the general office of the municipal government, which is even more indispensable. So Shang Zhenwu's father, Shang Tianyou, also took his mother Zhang Ting out early in the morning and went directly to greet his boss and colleagues, and Shang Zhenwu was the only one left in the family. Because Shang Zhenwu is a trainee teacher in the school, teachers can generally have a holiday with students during the winter and summer vacations, and naturally there is no need to pay New Year's greetings during the holidays. Of course, some familiar people can also go to the New Year, but Shang Zhenwu is not familiar with it! According to the habit of the sixth middle school, there is generally no group meeting, and now the state is cracking down! During this period of time, the state is cracking down on what is taking advantage of the festival to receive gifts and extravagance and waste, in this kind of government and state-owned enterprises and institutions, who dares to mess around?
So Shang Zhenwu began to wait at home for his parents to come back for the New Year, but at this time Shang Zhenwu's door was knocked.
"Knock knock!"
"Who?" Shang Zhenwu asked.
"Teacher Shang, it's me! Lin Tingting! ”
Shang Zhenwu almost fainted, it was actually Lin Tingting, which made Shang Zhenwu really feel strange. Isn't Lin Tingting the daughter of Deputy Secretary Lin? Why did you come here for the Chinese New Year? But Shang Zhenwu still has to open the door, so he can't turn people away, right?
"Happy New Year, Mr. Shang!" Lin Tingting said.
"Tingting, why are you here?" Shang Zhenwu asked.
Lin Tingting replied: "Mr. Shang, my father is also busy paying New Year's greetings to colleagues in the government, and I have nothing to do when I am idle, so I took the initiative to say that I came to pay you New Year's greetings." If it weren't for you, Mr. Shang, I wouldn't have been able to succeed in the exam this time, but this time I advanced several places!
"Well, this is also the result of your usual efforts, if you don't listen carefully, then I can't help you! If you don't listen carefully when I teach, I won't be able to help you! Shang Zhenwu replied.
Lin Tingting immediately took out a gift box, and then said: "Teacher Shang, this is a painting I painted myself, it is the scene of Confucius teaching to all students, and I thank Teacher Shang for teaching us." ”
When Shang Zhenwu heard this, he also accepted the gift. However, Shang Zhenwu actually only taught them the last few courses, and did not teach the whole semester. The key is that in fact, their basic knowledge is still relatively solid, and Shang Zhenwu only gave them a key review, so they can pass at a critical time. If the basic knowledge is not solid on weekdays, then in the end, even if Shang Zhenwu lectures on the key points, he will not be able to master it!
"Since you're here, what else do you bring! Come on in! Shang Zhenwu said.
Shang Zhenwu took the initiative to invite Lin Tingting in, and then Shang Zhenwu asked carefully: "How is Deputy Secretary Lin doing?" He didn't say anything, did he? ”
"No, Daddy didn't say anything about you. Dad also wants me to learn more from you so that I can improve my grades in the future. Lin Tingting said.
Shang Zhenwu also probably knew that Deputy Secretary Lin should not treat himself, you must know that those officials and cadres, on weekdays, there are five or six people in front of others, as if no one gives face, and some officials who are bullish even dare to slap the table with their superiors. But there is a kind of person who must give face, and that is the teacher of his own children.
The one who those officials dare not offend the most is their children's teachers, because other teachers have mastered their children's teaching and future, and which parent does not care about their children's teaching and future, so of course they don't dare to offend their children's teachers easily? When the time comes, people will come to your children, then you will really regret it for a lifetime, or even regret it for a lifetime, after all, everyone will care about the future of your children, regardless of status.
Although, it seems that some officials have a high status, much higher than an ordinary teacher. But in fact, the county magistrate is not as good as the current management, you seem to be in charge, but you are not in charge. Teachers are directly managing your children, can you still keep an eye on them all the time? This is the so-called reason that county officials are not as good as the current management, who doesn't know those officials? Therefore, those officials may not buy anyone's face, but they dare not easily offend their children's teachers.
"Teacher Shang, where is Uncle Shang?" Lin Tingting also asked.
"Like your Deputy Secretary Lin, how many of these guys in politics are idle during the Chinese New Year?" Shang Zhenwu said helplessly.
And Lin Tingting also understands that her father has not been idle during the New Year since she was a child, so it is normal for this to happen. Anyway, you have to pay New Year's greetings to the leader during the holidays, and it doesn't matter if the gift is valuable, but if you don't go, it's a matter of attitude. Maybe the leader doesn't necessarily remember who has been, but who hasn't, and that can be seen at a glance. Therefore, there are a few people who are in politics who do not want to go to the New Year during the New Year, and they do not expect the leaders to remember him, but they must not remember that he did not go to the New Year.
"Tingting, how have you been learning French lately?" Shang Zhenwu asked.
"Very good, the spoken language is already a bit eyebrow-raising. But that's the computer in our house that has been replaced! The software that Mr. Shang gave to him to contact the spoken language is so powerful, it is simply damaging the computer! Lin Tingting said helplessly.
Shang Zhenwu thought secretly: "You are also content, this software decades later runs on the computers of this era, how can it not eat up a lot of computing power?" This is still the result after I asked Lao Jia in 2050 to help cut most of the functions, otherwise the machine in this era would not be able to run at all. With this software, sooner or later, the computer will lose two-thirds of its regular lifespan. ”
"Tingting, what do you want to do now?" Shang Zhenwu asked.
"I've been wanting to listen to more songs lately so that I can get acquainted with them. In the next few years, I plan to apply for a conservatory of music and study professional vocal music. Lin Tingting said.
"Alright! I'll help you find out what music I've got for you! Shang Zhenwu said.
Shang Zhenwu came to the room alone, opened his laptop with QQ2050 installed, and then logged in to QQ2050. Shang Zhenwu took the initiative to contact Lin Tingting in 2050, and Shang Zhenwu also felt a little strange, because next to him was Lin Tingting, a middle school student, but the other QQ2050 was actually Lin Tingting in 2050, which made him feel quite surprised.
And Shang Zhenwu opened Lin Tingting's dialogue window, and then found that Lin Tingting in QQ2050 was actually online, which made Shang Zhenwu even happier immediately, because he took the initiative to send a message over.
"Tingting, are you there?" Shang Zhenwu asked.
However, to Shang Zhenwu's surprise, the other party's answer was not Lin Tingting.
"Father-in-law, is that you?" Shang Zhenwu's hair suddenly stood on end, who the hell is this?
"Tingting, are you sick?" Shang Zhenwu immediately gave QQ2050 that Lin Tingting asked.
However, the "Lin Tingting" sent a message saying: "Father-in-law, I'm not a mother, and now my mother is out and going to a concert." Now I'm using my mother's QQ. But I didn't expect that it was my father-in-law that you were contacting your mother? ”
"You ......"
Shang Zhenwu heard that the person who used Lin Tingting's QQ account was actually Lin Tingting's son, which made Shang Zhenwu a little unhappy. But what the unpleasantness was, Shang Zhenwu didn't know.
"Father-in-law, I'm Shang Ke! It is the adopted son of Lin's mother, who is ten years old this year! Where are you? The Shang Ke said.
Shang Zhenwu reacted at this time, and this turned out to be the adopted son that Lin Tingting said. Shang Zhenwu remembered that two days ago, Lin Tingting in 2050 said that she had never been married, but she adopted an adopted son at the age of forty and named her Shang Ke to commemorate the day when Shang Zhenwu taught them lessons.
"Oh? It's you, your mother? I have something to look for her! Shang Zhenwu replied.
However, the Shang Ke said: "Father-in-law, let me talk to you, this is the first time I have contacted you!" And mom is busy with the concert right now and doesn't have time! ”
"So? Well, but why do you call me stepfather? Shang Zhenwu asked.
"I don't know, anyway, Mother Lin kept telling me that my stepfather was Shang Zhenwu. But I haven't seen him, and I've heard that he's been missing for years. However, a few days ago, my mother told me that my stepfather Shang Zhenwu appeared on QQ again, so I borrowed my mother's QQ number, and then wanted to see who my stepfather was! I've always been told that I was a fatherless child, so I wanted to know who my stepfather was! Shang Ke said.
Shang Zhenwu was speechless, he actually had an extra son for some reason, so he was really speechless. However, this righteous son was actually adopted by Lin Tingting in 2050, which made Shang Zhenwu feel a little surprised. However, Shang Zhenwu remembered one thing, a very strange thing.
"It doesn't make sense, Lin Tingting's adopted son, why is his surname Shang?" Shang Zhenwu thought suspiciously.
"Father-in-law, you will be my father from now on!" Shang Ke said.
"......" Shang Zhenwu was speechless, and he didn't reply a word, obviously he didn't know how to reply at all, he had an extra son inexplicably?
Although this son was adopted by Lin Tingting and has no blood relationship with herself, she inexplicably has an extra son, which is also a speechless result for Shang Zhenwu, who is not yet married. However, seeing that the other party is a ten-year-old child, and he has been said to have no father since he was a child, Shang Zhenwu is not easy to hit him.
However, Shang Zhenwu also felt that this Shang Ke seemed to be too mature, and he actually spoke very maturely, not like a ten-year-old child at all. However, according to Shang Zhenwu's current speculation, children in the future may become more and more precocious, after all, there are more and more things in contact with society, and it is easier and easier to mature. Therefore, Shang Zhenwu is not surprised that a ten-year-old child in the future 2050 may not be exposed to fewer things than today's adults, so the psychological maturity of ten-year-old children may not be much less than that of adults in 2016.
Shang Zhenwu didn't answer, and that Shang Ke sent a message again: "Father-in-law, why didn't you stay with Mother Lin back then?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Shang Zhenwu was suddenly stimulated by these words and coughed, how did this unlucky kid speak?
Shang Zhenwu was really speechless, this Shang Ke asked directly, how could Shang Zhenwu answer? Lin Tingting is her own student, and she is her teacher, this is not for Shang Zhenwu to be a color. Demon Teacher?
However, Lin Tingting's adopted son, Shang Ke, sent a series of messages.
"Father-in-law, you know that Mother Lin has been looking for you everywhere for decades. I even looked for a lot of people, from all walks of life, but I didn't find you, and you seemed to have evaporated from the world. Since Mother Lin graduated from junior high school, your stepfather has also disappeared, and I don't know where you went. And Mother Lin has been looking for you for decades, and recently I learned that you were invited by the country to do secret research. And even now you can't just come out, this is really too tragic. And Mother Lin has a deep affection for you, she hasn't been married for decades, isn't it just to find you? And you've delayed her, what a bastard! ”
"Also, Mother Lin didn't adopt me until she was forty years old, and she also gave me the surname Shang and named me Shang Ke, doesn't this explain the problem? So shouldn't you treat her well? Now that you're still missing, what does she think? ”
……
Next, Shang Ke asked questions for his stepmother, which made Shang Zhenwu speechless, because he finally knew what was going on with Lin Tingting in the future. It turned out that Lin Tingting had never been married all her life because of herself in parallel time and space. However, this Shang Zhenwu really didn't know where he had gone in that parallel time and space, so now Shang Zhenwu didn't know how to answer. And Lin Tingting, for the sake of herself that she was not married at the age of forty, simply adopted an adopted son, named Shang Ke, and followed Shang Zhenwu's surname Shang, and even Lin Tingting let Shang Zhenwu be called her father-in-law like this, which is enough to explain the problem.
Shang Zhenwu didn't know what to say, so he still had nothing to say.
"Father-in-law, how do you plan to compensate Mother Lin in the future?" Shang Ke said with a look of grievances for his mother Lin.
"I can't just come out now, I can only contact through QQ, and I can't do anything. Then I can talk to you Mother Lin a little more! Shang Zhenwu replied helplessly, he couldn't travel to 2050 to meet that 2050 Lin Tingting!
However, Shang Zhenwu inexplicably had an extra son for himself, but he really had nothing to say.
