Chapter 162: Comparison is the thief of anger
Seeing Gu Hansong, Meng Shulan's eyebrows curved and she was very happy.
Gu Hansong smiled and nodded.
"Back to school?" he asked.
"Yes. Classes will start tomorrow, so take your stuff to the dormitory first."
Gu Hansong: "I'll help you."
"OK."
Meng Shulan gave him the backpack and the two of them went towards the school.
Because there were no formal classes and the school guards were not on duty, people were free to come and go.
Gu Hansong delivered the things to the downstairs of the dormitory building and couldn’t go upstairs.
Meng Shulan asked him, "Are you going back to the village later?"
He had just come back and was bound to go back to the village, but after not seeing each other for so many days, Meng Shulan missed him a lot.
She had to start tutoring again, so even if they could meet, they would just exchange a few words and it was impossible for them to be together except on weekends.
Besides, he is busy too. I don’t know if he will be there until the weekend.
Meng Shulan just couldn't bear to let go.
Gu Hansong naturally saw it.
And he was also reluctant.
"Do you want to study in the evening?"
"Need not."
Gu Hansong: "Is the bicycle in town?"
"Here I am."
"Put your things up there first, and we'll go get the car."
"Okay, wait a minute, it will be quick."
Meng Shulan hurried upstairs carrying her things, with a smile on her face all the way.
Although Gu Hansong didn't say anything just now, the tacit understanding between the two told her that this man wanted to take her out, like last time, for a walk outside.
Meng Shulan originally wanted to make the bed, but now she didn't have the heart to do it, so she just put her things down and left.
The two went to the store.
When they were almost there, Meng Shulan said, "Wait for me in the front. I'll ride the bike over here. My mom is here. We're being too blatant. She probably has something to say."
Although her family has not explicitly opposed it, they haven't agreed either. Right now, everyone is still persuading her to focus on her studies. It's okay for them to make a secret appointment without anyone knowing, but it would be a bit inappropriate to show it directly.
Meng Shulan cared about Gu Hansong's feelings and made a special trip to explain it to him.
Gu Hansong nodded and went to the front.
When Meng Shulan returned to the store and pushed her bicycle out, He Jinqiu saw her and asked where she was going.
Meng Shulan told a little lie, saying that she was going to a classmate's house to play for a while, and quickly pushed the bike away.
After coming outside to meet up with Gu Hansong, the two of them left the town through the small road. Then Gu Hansong rode his bike and Meng Shulan sat behind him, and they went to the river beach where they had been last time.
This time, the two did not sit down there, but followed a small path on the side to a river mouth above.
This estuary is very wide, with green trees on both sides and nice scenery.
Meng Shulan asked Gu Hansong what he was doing and what he did during the few days he was in the city.
Gu Hansong said that it was actually nothing, he just received two phone calls.
"A phone call? An important call?"
"Um."
Gu Hansong: "The head of a private overseas Chinese foundation wants to donate some equipment here. Previously, they had arranged for a worker who knows Mandarin to contact the city. For some reason, the person was not there a few days ago, so someone else was replaced to communicate with us. The other party has a strong local accent and can't communicate well with the translator arranged by the city, so they called me over."
It turns out that things are not complicated.
Can……
Meng Shulan: "You also understand the accent of a foreign language?" This guy is not that good! Gu Hansong smiled, "Actually, I didn't quite understand what that person said. We just changed the language to communicate."
"A different language?"
Gu Hansong nodded, "She can speak Russian."
Okay, Meng Shulan understood now.
She said helplessly: "When did you learn Russian?"
This was the first time she knew that this person could speak Russian.
It’s so amazing! She even started to feel inferior to him.
Gu Hansong: "When I was learning English before, there happened to be a set of books on this subject in that warehouse, so I learned it by the way."
Gu Hansong had never thought about learning Russian, but that set of books was so rare and they were full of notes. He thought it was a waste to let them rot in the corner, so he picked them up and started learning.
Meng Shulan knew that the warehouse he was talking about was the banned books warehouse behind the city library.
Those books that could not be destroyed for some unknown reason were hot potatoes in everyone's hands at a certain period of time. Who would have thought that they would become Gu Hansong's paradise in the future.
Meng Shulan remembered that twenty years ago, there was a trend of learning Russian, but for various reasons, this trend was soon abandoned by everyone. I guess the book was lost at that time.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
People just learned a language by the way.
If I want to get a high score, I have to keep my notes in my hands day and night.
Meng Shulan: "Did you deliberately invite the city leaders to come to the village this time?"
Meng Shulan had wanted to ask this for a long time.
She didn't know how he spent the New Year in his previous life, but there was definitely no such thing that shocked the whole village.
There are not so many coincidences in the world.
She was about to lose the temper, so someone from the city came and took him away.
He was probably trying to save himself on purpose.
Gu Hansong: "It wasn't intentional. They just called the town and asked me to come over, but I didn't go."
This is not intentional! Meng Shulan: "You are famous now."
Gu Hansong looked at her, "Is it not good?"
That way no one would laugh at her behind her back.
"Nothing is wrong." Meng Shulan smiled and shook her head, "Some people are beginning to envy me."
Gu Hansong also laughed.
Meng Shulan asked him, "Have you resolved the issue over there? How long will you stay this time?"
Gu Hansong: "Nothing for now. But after the Lantern Festival, I'm going to South City."
There are still eight days after the Lantern Festival.
Meng Shulan: "Is this visit a business or a personal matter?"
Meng Shulan already knew that he went out not only for his own development, but sometimes also to help the city do things.
In the past two years, Gu Hansong often went to the city and got to know some people, and sometimes they would ask him for help.
Gu Hansong: “Both.”
All right.
Meng Shulan: "Come to school when you leave."
"Um."
The two of them walked around the estuary and prepared to go back. After all, it was getting late.
Gu Hansong: "By the way, a few days ago in the city, I heard from a friend that English will be scored in this year's college entrance examination. It will not account for a large proportion, maybe about 30%. It will be taught in class tomorrow, and the school should also teach it."
Meng Shulan must have known about this and had already made preparations in advance.
But she still pretended to be surprised, "Really? Fortunately, I like English very much and have not fallen behind in the past two years."
Gu Hansong nodded. "It's just the beginning, so the questions shouldn't be difficult. They're mostly based on the textbook content."
That is indeed the case, but due to long-term neglect and lack of teachers, their class did not get good scores in English in the last life.
Meng Shulan: "If you see any good books when you go out this time, please bring two for me."
"good."
Gu Hansong: "Also, have you decided on your major in college?"
