The island has a vast sky, a colorful seabed, a star-studded beach, and schools of fish.
Looking at those little kids who were sweating profusely, Lin Nanfeng seemed to see them training on the island when they were young.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye they go their separate ways and become adults!
Lin Nanfeng's life was very comfortable. Her tense heart gradually relaxed and she became more mellow. Xiang Guifan was always following her.
The days passed quietly and early summer soon arrived.
Beijing, Hua University.
"When you have time, memorize English words. Listen, read, and write more. When you have free time, communicate more with your classmates. This will help you all improve together."
The new English teacher on the podium was packing up the textbooks while talking, his eyes vaguely glancing towards where Lin Anju was.
It’s not that she, a 32-year-old woman, has any fantasies about a 17 or 18-year-old boy, but that this little boy looks so much like his father, as if they were cast in the same mold.
When Zhang Zhenni thinks of her missing brother, she still feels hatred.
12 years have passed, and every time Dad and Grandma mention my brother, they become irritated towards Mom!
After going abroad, the two most common things my grandmother said were: one was that she regretted coming out with them.
The other sentence cursed the mother for destroying their Zhang family and leaving them without descendants, saying that after she died, there would be no descendants to burn paper money for her.
They have had a hard time these years. Besides having little money, they are also discriminated against by foreigners.
The more I look at Lin Anju, the more he looks like his father, especially his profile, he is a carbon copy of his father.
Lin Anju and Lin Mengniang have the same surname, and he looks very much like his father. Is it really such a coincidence that two people who are not related by blood look so similar?
Jenny stopped a classmate and asked, "How old is Lin Anju this year? He looks much younger than you."
After the country resumed the college entrance examination, most of the people who took the college entrance examination were between 30 and 40 years old, and these people had some traces of time on their faces.
Students in their teens and twenties are in the minority, and those who are in their teens and still look fair and clean are particularly conspicuous.
So Zhang Zhenni noticed Lin Anju on the first day of class.
The students who were stopped thought that the teacher saw that Lin Anju was too young to keep up with the progress, so they explained for him:
"Teacher Jenny, Lin's mother is a translator. He speaks three languages, especially English. You don't have to worry about him not being able to keep up. His spoken English is also very good. Last year, he represented our school and gave a speech at Peking University next door."
The students sounded very proud because their class became famous because of that speech.
It is because of this that Lin Anju is called the academic genius by his classmates.
Zhang Zhenni was stunned. "Lin Anju's mother is a translator?"
Lin Mengniang, that woman, can't read a single word, so there's no way she could be a translator. Is this really just a coincidence?
Or maybe Duobao was picked up by someone after he disappeared, and is now being raised in this family. Otherwise, it would be impossible.
The classmate proudly said: "Lin Anju's sister is a soldier. I heard from Lin Anju that she is a very powerful soldier."
Zhang Zhenni immediately gave up the idea of doubting Lin Anju.
But she didn't expect that her classmate's next words would make her feel conflicted again.
"Teacher, did you just ask me how old Lin Anju is?"
Without waiting for her to ask, the classmate said, "He's 17 years old. Lin Anju is 17 years old this year, and he is the top scholar in Su Province."
Zhang Zhenni was not impressed by the term "top scholar", but she was really surprised that Lin Anju was 17 years old.
He looks a lot like his father, his surname is Lin and he is 17 years old. He has three of these traits. Is this really just a coincidence?
Suddenly, Zhang Zhenni felt a chill on her back. She thought of something and went to see my director in the Academic Affairs Office.
"You want to see Lin Anju's file?" The director's words were filled with shock and vigilance.
It is true that Zhang Zhenni is an English teacher hired by the school at a high price, but such a person is not trustworthy at all.
They ran abroad when they saw nothing was happening, and now that the country is doing well, they are running back.
Such people have no stance. In the old days, they would be either fence-sitters or traitors.
And as a foreign teacher, are you allowed to see the students’ files?
Besides, Lin Anju’s file was encrypted, and he, as a director, couldn’t access it.
What's more, you are a foreigner.
"Do you know about Lin Anju's family situation?" the director asked her.
Zhang Zhenni hesitated and shook her head: "I only heard a little bit."
The director said, "You don't understand his family's situation, but you want to see his file. What are you thinking?
The school invited you back to teach students knowledge, not to use these tricks on students and parents."
If you ask the director to tell the truth, he doesn't trust any of the teachers invited from outside, and even says that they are old-fashioned and pedantic.
He just felt that when the country was weak, those who abandoned everything and ran away were not good people.
So he didn't trust them.
Zhang Zhenni felt very embarrassed by the director's words, as if she would gain some benefits after reading Lin Anju's file.
Her hand holding the book bent unconsciously, but she had to endure it.
Because this job is respectable, she needs this job to save face.
When my uncle was traveling abroad, he accidentally fell into the sea on the boat.
Later, the Zhang and Meng families became enemies, and they had to bend their lofty heads and rely on their hands to survive.
The expressions she saw outside these years were something she had never experienced before.
With the country's doors wide open, every family member thought about their homes and land in the country.
She thought that life wouldn't be the same after she came back, but at least she could still live a middle-class life.
Who knew that life now is still like that outside, where I have to live according to other people's moods.
Zhang Zhenni was scolded by the director again before being allowed to leave.
The director treated her as a spy in his words and deeds.
Zhang Zhenni no longer thought about whether Lin Anju was her missing brother, and she did not have the energy to explore it further.
Because life is tiring enough, who has the energy to care about someone who is not sure whether he is dead or not.
I dragged my heavy feet back home, back to the house of less than 50 square meters with a small yard.
Hearing the shouting and cursing coming from inside, Zhang Zhenni stopped at the door. She felt very weak, very tired, and wanted to die.
"What sin have I committed? I thought I would have a good life after I got out, but I ended up washing dishes and mopping the floor in a restaurant for more than ten years.
Now I finally come back, thinking I have made it through, and I am still the respectable old lady I used to be, but what happened?"
"Who the hell sold all my properties? Not a single one left. This is killing me!
What the hell have I done wrong? Why am I so unlucky? Isn't it enough for me to kowtow to you?"
After saying that, the old lady knelt down and kowtowed in all directions, wishing she would kowtow her life away.
This person is Lin Nanfeng’s grandmother, the old lady Zhang who said that she wanted to go abroad to enjoy a good life.
