In the evening, the old couple of the Chen family came to Chen Chuan and Jiang Meina's residence for the first time. Jiabao stayed at the school and didn't come back until the weekend.

Jiang Meina was obviously a little panicked, and was busy making tea and pouring water, lest the hospitality be inadequate.

Grandma Chen said, "Don't be busy! We have come to tell you something of business. ”

After Chen Chuan and Jiang Meina sat down, Chen Chuan's father said, "I heard that Jiabao's mother quit her job at the bank and is going to Guangzhou to do business?" ”

Chen Chuan asked in surprise: "You really resigned?" It's such a big deal, why don't you discuss it with me? ”

"You're so busy, how can I have a chance to discuss with you?"

"What kind of business does your sister do in Guangzhou?" Grandma Chen asked.

"She's doing a lot of business right now! Mainly clothing wholesale. ”

Grandma Chen said with emotion: "Back then, you two sisters just rented beds and sold clothes. - She's out of the way now! ”

……

Back then, the Jiang and Chen families were neighbors in the front and back yards.

Jiang Meina graduated from middle school and was unemployed at home, so she rented a bed with her sister to sell clothes. It was also at this time that Zhang Lei, who was buying clothes, fell in love with Jiang Meina at first sight.

At the beginning, when Zhang Lei asked Jiang Meina, Jiang Meina also told her sister a joke: "Look at that person - like a big peanut!" I'm afraid it's not as tall as me! Who will follow him, how can he get it out? ”

But this "peanut" is really infatuated! Send a silk scarf today, a set of cosmetics that are not available on the market tomorrow, and a brand-name bag from abroad the day after tomorrow. These are things that Chen Chuan has never bought for her, and she can't even afford to buy them if she wants to!

Once, Zhang Lei celebrated his birthday and also invited Jiang Meina, which was Jiang Meina's first time at Zhang's house.

Oops! - Compared to your own home, this is simply a palace! Duplex building, there are four or five rooms! The toilet in other people's homes is bigger than Chen Chuan's bedroom!

"Marry me! - Marry me, you are the mistress here, no! - It's the Queen! My dad agreed, the bank is hiring, and he can arrange for you to work in the bank. How good it is to be a real white-collar worker! Zhang Lei's words moved Jiang Meina.

……

Alas! There's no place in the world to buy regret medicine!

"Resign, resign! It's really hard for you to continue to work in that banking environment! - But why do you have to go to Guangzhou? Jiabao has two years to go to university, so you can rest assured when you leave? Grandma Chen said.

"Jiabao has you to take care of you, I-rest assured! Besides, Jiabao doesn't want to see me ——, me, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived in school. ”

"It's normal for children to be young and rebellious in adolescence. As a mother, you can't always be angry with your children, right? During this time, after experiencing so many things, the child couldn't digest it for a while and had psychological disorders. Isn't this - aren't everyone actively trying to find a way and do work to help him get through this hurdle? What will happen if you leave like this? It's all done! Grandpa Chen was a little excited.

Grandma Chen sat down next to Jiang Meina and said earnestly: "Actually, Lu Chang is right! Do you calculate, how much time do you have with your children day and night? Two years later, the child will go to college, and only the winter and summer vacations will come back every year. After finishing school, it's hard to say where to work, I'm afraid that only the New Year's Festival, and I have to catch up with the long vacation to come back. In the future, how much will you have in your heart if you fall in love, get married, and have children? There are only two years left to stick with the child! Are you willing to just leave? ”

Grandma Chen's words made Jiang Meina burst into tears. Not only did the words deeply touch her heart, but also that after all these years in the Chen family, her mother-in-law had never looked at her squarely, let alone spoke so calmly!

Chen Chuan said: "Jiabao's psychological problems are also developing in a better direction. Teacher Ming said that this battle is a bad thing; But from another point of view, it's also a good thing. ”

"It's all punished, or is it a good thing?" Jiang Meina said puzzled.

"The reason why Jiabao is so impulsive, of course, is because it was his sister who was bullied. But isn't there too much depression in your heart? I got into a fight, and I vented it all at once! If we slowly guide it, it should be no big problem! No one or the teacher gave up, so what reason do we parents have to give up? Chen Chuan didn't seem to have persuaded his wife so kindly.

Grandpa Chen took out two real estate certificates from his bag and put them on the coffee table: "These two properties are both stores in the commercial street, and they were transferred to the name of Jiabao half a year ago." Both storefronts are duplexes. What about our opinion, to do business, it is better to be at home. Your sister's purchase channel is not a problem, you cooperate, it should be possible. You can rent out one of the two shops, and the living expenses should be enough! Anyway, decide for yourself! - As for the cost of Jiabao's future schooling, you don't have to worry about it, we have it all! ”

Grandma Chen said: "Children can't do without their mothers, and mothers can't do without children!" - Don't go! ”

"Mom and Dad, I can't ask for this store! - I'm already very despised by people! I can't reach out for any more possessions! Otherwise, even my own flesh and blood look down on my ......! Jiang Meina sobbed.

"First, this house is not what you want! If you really tell me the conditions and ask for property, I will never give it to me! Second, this property is a family treasure! We don't care what happens to the accounts between your mother and son. Grandma Chen said, "-Also, even if you two are married,—— you are also middle-aged, and we can't care so much about being old people!" Still, I advise you to think about everything. The past is already there, and it can't be changed! - But you have to go on, don't you? ”

……

In the afternoon self-study class, Ming Hao found that Zhai Xiaoya and Sun Yucong's seats were empty, so he asked, "What about these two people?" ”

Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "I was taken away by Director Zhang!" ”

"What did they do again?"

"Little girl...... Write. Xiao Ha helped her draw illustrations......"

"Ho! - Is there still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in our class? Ming Hao walked out of the classroom and went straight to the political and educational office.

……

In the office of the Political and Educational Department, two little girls were crying with snot and tears!

"Just in time you're here! - Look at the masterpieces of these two students! - People want to write 500,000 words! The outline is ready! Look, that's all that has been written! Director Zhang handed a manuscript paper to Ming Hao.

"Youth on the Left, Time on the Right" ,—— a good name!" Ming Hao looked at the illustration drawn by Sun Yucong again, "Not bad! - Pretty close to the point! ”

"You two go back first! - Waiting for processing. Director Zhang sent the students away and said, "What are you fooling about?" - Did you know? This is reported by a parent! - Let me scare and scare them. ”

"I've often heard of 'pit dads', but I've never seen such a 'pit'!"

It was Sun Yucong's mother, who said that the child went home for half a night and didn't sleep, drawing comics one by one. Let me scare her! Unexpectedly, I picked two melons with a vine! Director Zhang said.

"Teacher Zhai, did you say hello? - What is his attitude? ”

"He? Don't look at the teacher, looking at other people's children all day long, he didn't notice such a big movement of his daughter! - I was told on the phone just now that I want to clean up the little girl at once! - Alas! I can't sharpen my own knife with my own knife! - I deserve ...... wicked man"

Ming Hao smiled and said, "Okay——。 You're done singing blackface, and I'm going to sing redface! - We design two children in so many dimensions——, it doesn't seem to be very authentic! ”

"Okay——! Good guy you should be. Anyway, what our political and religious department does is an errand that specializes in offending people! ”

……

Ming Hao left the political and religious office, while Zhai Xiaoya and Xiao Hasun Yucong were waiting in the office.

"You've written tens of thousands of words, haven't you?" Minghao asked Xiaoya.

"More than 30,000 words."

"It's not easy to write completely by hand! - How laborious it is to revis! ”

"I don't dare to use a computer at home......"

"So—how long are you going to finish writing these 500,000 words?"

Zhai Xiaoya peeked at Ming Hao and said, "I don't know." ”

"I used to have a dream of being a writer. - That was when I was in college. At the beginning, it was very inspiring, it was a spring of thought! ”

"So- what are you writing about?"

"Youth Campus, the title is "Breaking into Youth".

"Published?" Xiaoya and Xiaoha asked together.

"After that——, I couldn't write anymore!"

"Why?" Zhai Xiaoya asked.

"In the beginning, I felt that there were many things around me that could be used as material for writing. However, as I write, I feel that I am only recording the superficial things of life, and I can't dig out the deeper things, such as the social significance of the works! - So, what is the point of such a work? At that time, my teacher told me that literary works are by no means the accumulation of words, but the accumulation, precipitation and perception of experience! - So, I let go of that vanity. ”

"Teacher, I see! My experience is not enough! - I won't write it for now! Zhai Xiaoya said.

"From my point of view as a Chinese teacher, I approve of your writing. However, you are going to take the college entrance examination! Now that the college entrance examination is less than two years away, you have to complete such a huge work, can you not be distracted in terms of studying? So, I'm in favor of you stopping! - However, you may wish to keep writing observation notes, which will help you in your future writing! ”

"Teacher, I don't draw comics anymore!" Sun Yucong said pitifully.

"It's good to have a hobby! But it's not good to stay awake in the middle of the night! Now is the time for you to grow your body, and the schoolwork is so heavy, besides, you are not allowed to prepare for the art major, even if it is a hobby, you must be modest. You say, don't you? Ming Hao said to Sun Yucong.

Sun Xiaoha nodded and asked, "Then-does the school still punish us?" "That's what the two of them care about the most.

"The school said, this time - record it first, and see the aftermath. If you do it again, I won't be able to save you! - Do you understand? Ming Hao said seriously.

"Got it!"

"Got it!"

"Xiaoya, don't you like to write? After the exam, during the summer vacation, I will give you an important task! - Write a play script! Ming Hao handed them the writing outline and comic book.

"Really? - What content? Zhai Xiaoya immediately asked as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Let's finish the test! After the exam, I'll give you the materials! - I'm telling you, it's a big deal about the festival! ”

……

Final exams are over! According to the example, the school should select the top students in the whole year group to form an "experimental class". However, Class 8, which has always had the best results, encountered "Waterloo"!
