Chapter Ninety-One: A Good Governor and a Good Father
Ling'er said in a low voice: "Brother, I always thought that you knew that my father was the vice governor, so he was so good to me." But after listening to the conversation between you and my grandfather just now, I realized that I was wrong, and it turned out that my brother was really good to me. So I was very moved in my heart, and as soon as I was moved, I couldn't help but cry......"
"Silly girl, that's why!" Zhao Changfeng laughed, "What's so touching about this?" Isn't there anyone but your brother who is genuinely good to you? I don't think so, right? Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Liu are very good to you! ”
Ling'er shook her head and said, "Brother, you don't understand. It's not the same! Grandpa and grandma were good to me, but it was because of my father. ”
Zhao Changfeng said: "Ling'er, how can you think of Grandpa Zhang like this? Grandpa Zhang's surname is upright, but he is not the kind of snobbish villain. When I was in the Cultural Revolution, Grandpa Zhang suffered a lot of grievances in order to protect your grandfather! If Grandpa Zhang was that kind of snobbish villain, he wouldn't have suffered so many grievances! ”
"Brother, you misunderstood!" Ling'er looked up at Zhao Changfeng: "You really didn't understand what I meant. When I say that my grandfather is good to me because of my father, I mean that my grandfather likes me because he likes my father. Even if my father is not a vice governor now, but an ordinary worker or a farmer, my grandfather will be very good to my father. ”
Zhao Changfeng shook his head and said, "Ling'er, I still don't understand. Grandpa Zhang can't be nice to you if he's good to your dad? ”
"Hey! You're not only a stinky guy, you're a stupid guy! Ling'er was so anxious that she wanted to hit Zhao Changfeng with her little hand, "I mean, grandpa likes me because he likes me because he likes my father, grandpa doesn't really like my surname, he completely accommodates me because my father is brought up by him!" ”
Zhao Changfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ling'er, do you care if your grandfather likes you because he likes your father or because he likes you?" In short, as long as the result is that grandpa likes you, isn't it? It doesn't make a difference! ”
"You ......"
Ling'er was in a hurry, and her eyes turned red again. Frightened, Zhao Changfeng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, good Ling'er, even if Grandpa Zhang doesn't like you because he likes you." And what about your mom and dad? They must genuinely like you, right? ”
"Mom and Dad?" Ling'er bit her lip and smiled faintly, "If I change my name, they may really like me." ”
"Change a name?" Zhao Changfeng was a little inexplicable in his heart, "Ling'er, what name do you change to make your parents really like you?" ”
Ling'er said: "If my name was 'work', they might like me!" It's a pity that my name is not 'work', but 'Ling'er', so they have to like that 'work'. ”
"You're such a naughty ghost!"
After Zhao Changfeng understood Ling'er's words, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Ling'er, the little girl, was complaining to him in disguise that her parents liked work more than her.
"Ling'er, your parents like to work out of duty, they must like you very, very much in their hearts!" Zhao Changfeng said.
"Humph! Like me? Didn't see it at all! Ling'er said aggrievedly: "They are busy all day long, and they often leave me alone. If it weren't for Grandpa Zhang and their move to Zhongzhou, I'm afraid I would have to live with boiling water and instant noodles every day. ”
Zhao Changfeng had fully understood why Ling'er was crying just now at this time. In peacetime, Zhao Qiang and his wife must have been busy with work and neglected to take care of Ling'er. Ling'er's age is an important period for the formation of the surname, and it needs the care and care of parents both psychologically and physically.
Zhao Qiang and his wife entrusted Ling'er to Zhang Changsuo and his wife to take care of, although they solved Ling'er's eating problem in life, but because Zhang Changsuo and his wife have a huge difference between Ling'er in age and education level, they can't solve Ling'er's psychological dependence problem, so Ling'er still feels lonely psychologically, and no one loves her.
It was at this time that Zhao Changfeng appeared. Since he is only six or seven years older than Ling'er and a college graduate, there is no generation gap between Zhao Changfeng and Ling'er, and they communicate very well. In addition, Zhao Changfeng can help Ling'er in mathematics, which Ling'er likes very much, which naturally makes Ling'er feel psychologically dependent on him, and really regards him as his own brother in his heart. In addition, Zhao Changfeng acted generously and led Ling'er to McDonald's dinner every once in a while, Ling'er thought that Zhao Changfeng loved her very much.
But at that time, there must have been another doubt in Ling'er's heart, that is, she thought that Zhao Changfeng must have known that she was the daughter of the vice governor, so he cared for her. It's just that Ling'er needs love too much at this time, and she likes Zhao Changfeng very much in her heart, so she accepted it. It's just that Ling'er often reminds herself in her heart that Brother Changfeng doesn't really like her, but because of her father, he is so good to her.
But today, when Ling'er called her mother and came back, she heard the conversation between Zhao Changfeng and her grandfather, and Ling'er suddenly realized that Brother Changfeng didn't know that she was the daughter of the vice governor, and Ling'er was immediately moved. It turned out that Brother Changfeng liked her wholeheartedly, he really liked her, and he didn't mix it with other factors. In Ling'er's memory, since she grew up like this, she had never met such a person who only loved her herself instead of caring about the family background behind her.
Ling'er is not a girl with shallow eye sockets, and it is difficult to shed a tear no matter what kind of grievances she receives, but at this time she suddenly met a person who was really good to her, but she suddenly felt very wronged in her heart, and tears fell out in a hurry.
However, Ling'er cried like this, but the psychological distance between her and Zhao Changfeng was one step closer. Ling'er has a lot of things buried in her heart, she has always wanted to find someone to talk to, but she doesn't know who to talk to. Even if it was Zhao Changfeng before, Ling'er was reluctant to tell him. But today, after Ling'er cried, she suddenly had an urge to confide in Zhao Changfeng.
"Brother......
"Huh?"
"Won't you make up for it today?"
"Why don't you make up classes?"
"I want to talk to you, can I?"
"Talk? Why not? Don't we talk a lot? ”
"Brother! That's different! ”
"It's not the same?"
"Hmm."
"What's the difference?"
"Anyway, it's just different!" Ling'er gently kicked the desk leg on her toes, "Those words were useless before. It's not useless, it's not the same as what I said today. ”
Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "Ling'er, then what are you going to say to me today?" ”
"I, I, I want to talk to you today." Ling'er's voice is like a mosquito.
"Hehe, it turns out that Ling'er wants to talk to me from the heart?" Zhao Changfeng smiled: "Okay, that brother listens." ”
Ling'er whispered.
When Ling'er was a child, her parents were not very busy with work, and they loved her very much, but since the fourth grade of primary school, after her father became the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City, she was still busy and had almost no time to take care of Ling'er, but at this time, her mother was not very busy with work, and she could take care of Ling'er, and Ling'er had not psychologically felt neglected.
Later, my mother's position was also promoted, and she gradually became busy, but unlike her father, her mother could still spare a little time to take care of Ling'er, so Ling'er was somewhat acceptable to this situation.
Later, when Ling'er was going to high school, her mother's work burden became heavier and heavier, and she thought that Ling'er had already started high school and was a sensible child, so she didn't need parents to worry about it, so she turned all her attention to work, basically ignoring the communication between Ling'er and Ling'er.
And there is a special situation about Ling'er, that is, Ling'er is different from the children of other leaders, in Zhongzhou City, whether it is the leader of the province or the leader of Zhongzhou City, the children generally go to Zhongzhou City No. 1 Middle School to study. When the leaders of Zhongzhou No. 1 Middle School accepted these students, they basically figured out the family history of these students, and they would give special care to the children of these leaders, both openly and secretly.
However, Zhao Qiang is very strict with Ling'er, he is afraid that the school leaders will take good care of Ling'er because of him, which will not only make Ling'er have a sense of superiority in his thinking, but also easy to make Ling'er lazy and not study hard. Therefore, when he was in junior high school, Zhao Qiang arranged Ling'er to take the exam in the area of the Central Plains Provincial Experimental Middle School through other means, so that Ling'er was admitted to the Central Plains Provincial Experimental Middle School with his own strength.
Zhongyuan Provincial Experimental Middle School and Zhongzhou No. 1 Middle School are also provincial priorities, but there are no leading children who have studied in the past, and most of them are poor students with excellent character and learning.
According to Zhao Qiang's request, the people who arranged Ling'er to the experimental middle school area forged a file for Ling'er, and the leaders and teachers of the experimental middle school did not know Ling'er's true identity, and in their eyes, he was just an ordinary student with good grades.
