Chapter 215

It was another sunny morning. Xu Di jumped rope in the yard for a while, memorized some English words, and then went to the kitchen to help Aunt Wu make breakfast.

After school started, Xu Di got into the habit of getting up half an hour earlier every day, exercising and memorizing words.

They also had a lot of homework in the Faculty of Arts, so she went to the English Department to attend a few classes. Xu Di knows that English will still be very important in the next few decades.

Anyway, she studied English for several years in her previous life, and later, in order to tutor her children, she learned it systematically by following videos and using learning software.

The phonetics, grammar and reading comprehension are all okay. Now it's not too difficult to memorize the words again.

"Aunt Wu, when Chaoyang comes back, you can stay for a few more days. You have been too busy recently and you haven't been able to go back to see your grandson."

"It doesn't matter. I just know they are doing well. Xiao Di, I'll tell you the truth. Although that is my daughter's home, I am not comfortable living there.

People, at all times, must have a nest of their own. ”

Aunt Wu's sigh was probably not a whim, but the result of something happening.

"Aunt Wu, it's actually easy to have your own home. If you don't have many relatives in your hometown, you can buy a small house here.

When you don't want to work anymore, you have your own house and savings, and your life will still be happy. ”

Xu Di couldn't say it directly. Aunt Wu gave all her money to her daughter and son-in-law, counting on them to support her in her old age, which was quite risky.

It is better to give some appropriately and keep the bulk for yourself. In the future, the probability of your daughter and son-in-law being filial to you will be higher.

Because, from Aunt Wu's words, it is not difficult to guess that her daughter does not have a job and does not have much say in her husband's family.

"We thought the same thing. I asked Aunt Qian to ask the Housing Authority for me. If there is a suitable small house, I will buy it.

I have saved some money in the past few years, so buying a house should be no problem. ”

Aunt Wu raised her daughter alone, and her husband also sacrificed his life, so she knew what was going on.

"That's great, Aunt Wu. Come on, things will get better and better."

Xu Di thought about it and it made sense. Aunt Wu was not an ignorant woman who knew nothing. Otherwise, she would be eaten alive if she were to raise her daughter alone.

After dinner, Xu Di rode his bike to school.

There were still two large classes in the morning, and Xu Di and Liu Yun sat together.

After the last quarrel with Wei Hua, Xu Di didn’t take it seriously. He just had different ideas.

Other students in the class became closer to her and occasionally discussed problems with her.

To put it bluntly, no one is very interested in so-called group activities.

The age range in their class is a bit wide.

Like the squad leader, he is about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. It is said that he has three children in his family, and the younger one is only a few months old.

There are also two female classmates who are married and have children. Among them, there was a female classmate who was admitted to a university in Beijing together with her husband. They brought their child with them and lived in the girls’ dormitory.

Except for single female and male classmates, or people like the class monitor whose wives and children are back home, no one else has the free time to climb the Great Wall or visit the Forbidden City.

"Xu Di, let's go. My back and waist are sore from sitting all morning.

I feel that after the age of 25, my physical strength is obviously not as good as before. ”

"Okay, if the professors hear you saying this, they will definitely criticize you!"

"Yes, my grandma always told me not to say I'm old in front of other old people."

Liu Yun laughed, and Xu Di also laughed. Her grandmother had also said the same thing.

Xu Di carried her things and parted ways with Liu Yun at the entrance of the teaching building. She was going to the bicycle shed to push her bicycle.

"Xu Di, come here for a moment."

Hearing someone calling him, Xu Di looked back.

Bai Weiwei from their class is a loner who likes to be alone.

"Bai Weiwei, you called me?"

"Well, my mother is looking for you. She's in the office."

After saying that, he turned and walked forward without saying another word.

Xu Di knew that Professor Zhang from their School of Arts was Bai Weiwei's mother, and Wei Hua had already made this known.

There were few people in the office; all the professors had gone home.

"Professor Zhang, you're looking for me?"

Xu Di really couldn't figure out what Professor Zhang wanted to talk to her about, as she had done her homework well.

"Well, sit down and talk.

I am Zhang Chaoyang’s aunt. I wonder if you have heard of me? ”

Xu Di was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was Grandma Fang's daughter. It was said that she went to support the Third Front construction and he had never seen her before.

"Ah! I heard before that you were supporting the construction of the Third Front."

"Well, I just came back not long ago. I went to the retirement home last Sunday, and the old man told me that Chaoyang's wife was studying at Peking University and asked me to take care of her.

Chaoyang, it is not easy for you to defend your country. In the future, if you have any problems with your studies, you can come to me. ”

"Thank you, Professor Zhang. No, thank you, Auntie."

Xu Di didn't expect that there would be such a fate.

"Bai Weiwei, my daughter, you two are both relatives and classmates. Please interact more in the future."

"Okay, we'll be in the same class from now on and we'll get to know each other slowly." Xu Di didn't understand Bai Weiwei, nor did he know what her personality was like. Don't be too confident.

"Okay, I won't waste your time. We live in the school's staff quarters. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to my house to find me."

"Okay, aunt. We don't live far away. Come to our house if you have the chance."

Xu Di also said a few polite words, then got up and left.

"Mom, let's go home too."

"Well, let's go. Weiwei, we are back. It's safe here. You don't have to be afraid."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Professor Zhang touched his daughter's head and hid his heartache in his heart.

As for Xu Di, when she left the professor's office, she felt it was quite a coincidence that they had such a fate.

However, Professor Zhang does not look like an old man and has quite big eyes, otherwise Xu Di would have recognized him.

After arriving home, Xu Di shared this matter with his grandmother first.

"Grandma, grandma, let me tell you, Professor Zhang from our School of Arts is actually Zhang Chaoyang's aunt, the aunt over there.

Also, Bai Weiwei, a classmate in our class, is Professor Zhang’s daughter. ”

"Is Zhang Nan back?"

Xu Di didn't react for a moment and was stunned.

"Zhang Chaoyang's aunt is called Zhang Nan, a pretty good kid. It's a pity that the couple wasted so many years in that mountain valley."

Grandma Qian had no problem with the other party, nor with the three children she gave birth to.

She and Zhang Gensheng met by chance. In essence, he did nothing wrong, he was just not loyal.

"Professor Zhang is a nice name. She just came to me and said that she heard from my grandfather last week that I am in the Faculty of Arts at Peking University and asked her to take care of me."

"Okay, just let it go and get along with each other."

Grandma Qian had no objection. She was happy to see someone taking care of Xiaodi.

“I think so too. If we have similar personalities, we can just spend more time together and get to know each other better.

If you don't get along with each other, just let it go and don't force it. ”

"Yeah, that's it."

After Xu Di finished chatting, he went to wash his hands.

Grandma Qian was happy. It was nice to have a granddaughter-in-law who was like her granddaughter.

She used to have to deal with all kinds of emergencies due to her work, which made her very tired.

Xiaodi is a straightforward kid, without too many ulterior motives. It is easy and pleasant to get along with him.

"Mom, mom, when can I eat the leeks? I want to eat leek dumplings."

"Mom, mom, I picked up eight eggs today. I wonder which chick was lazy."

"Mom, I've finished reading all the comic books."

Three children surrounded Xu Di, chattering non-stop.

“It will take another ten days before the leeks can be eaten, as they need to grow slowly.

A hen cannot lay eggs every day or it will get tired.

Tuantuan, during the break, mom will take you to Xinhua Bookstore to see if there are any new comic books. ”

Xu Di answered her daughters' questions one by one and took them to wash their hands. Aunt Wu then called for dinner.
