Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Part 2
Donating a library is a good thing, but it has recently caused some unpleasant effects at Capital University.
After the reform and opening up, many overseas inspection trips were organized across the country. The reality that there is a large gap between China and developed countries in terms of economy, science and technology has been generally accepted and understood by the Chinese people.
We are a country that was founded not long ago, and was rebuilt on a land that has experienced war and is devastated. Isn't it normal that we have a gap with others?
It doesn't matter if there is a gap. As long as the Chinese people are united and work hard, the gap will definitely narrow gradually. If not in 50 years, then in 100 years. If not in 100 years, then in 200 years. One day, we will catch up with and even surpass those countries.
——This is what most Chinese people think nowadays.
The Chinese have always been self-respecting and self-reliant. Even if they lag behind, they will not deny themselves, but face the challenges head-on and work hard to catch up.
However, a small number of people began to advocate that everything abroad is better than in China. Some even dug up the "famous saying" of Mr. Hu, who was the president of Capital University before the founding of the People's Republic of China: The moon in the beautiful country is rounder than that in China.
This donation of the library seems to have become proof that "the moon in the United States is rounder than that in China."
Overseas Chinese have been running businesses in the United States for decades, and when they come back, they can easily donate a library. How many people in China are still struggling to make ends meet? Let alone donating a library, eating meat once a week is a luxury.
In particular, Lin Yiqing has expressed her admiration for the beautiful country that is strong, democratic and free as described by overseas Chinese businessmen on many occasions. She has described a particularly beautiful scene of the beautiful country to her classmates, and has pushed the debate on "where the moon is rounder, at home or abroad" to a white-hot level.
Public opinion within Capital University is polarized.
One side supports Lin Yiqing, believing that China had continued the feudal dynasty's policy of "closing the country to the outside world" for decades, causing the country's economy, science and technology, construction and other aspects to lag far behind developed countries.
One side strongly opposed Lin Yiqing, believing that there might be a gap between China and other countries, but not everything abroad is good. Hearsay is completely unreliable, and one should not belittle oneself because of it.
Some were even extreme, starting to post big-character posters in schools, demanding the elimination of "bourgeois unhealthy tendencies" in the schools and refusing to build libraries that were "given out of charity."
…
The library that Su Jingnian donated with good intentions turned out to be a charity.
Shen Moer has been very busy lately, because every time their garment factory launches a new style, similar styles will appear on the market within a few days. She has to keep an eye on the factory's production issues while making up for the courses she missed before. She almost wishes she could split every minute into two minutes.
By the time she heard about this, the campus bulletin board was already covered with big-character posters saying “Don’t eat food given out of pity.”
Shen Moer was simply speechless.
In fact, she had seen big-character posters occasionally when she passed by the propaganda column, but she didn't look at them carefully and thought they were about economic policies or cafeteria food. It was not until Fu Mingze, who had been detained in the laboratory for a few days by her tutor, came out and asked her what was going on, that she realized what was going on.
It happened to be Sunday the next day, so Shen Moer and Fu Mingze took their daughter to Yongning Hutong and asked Fu Zhiyuan to help contact Su Jingnian who was investigating in Shenzhen.
Originally, the inspection team would go to Hong Kong City after inspecting Shenzhen City, and then return to the beautiful country from Hong Kong City.
However, before Su Jingnian left, he also said that he would try to come to the capital again before returning to the United States, so that the family could have a meal and take pictures together. It happened that the inspection in Shenzhen was nearing its end, so Shen Moer discussed with him and asked him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
After Chen Moer finished her call and came out of Fu Zhiyuan's study, she saw her daughter performing "Colorful Clothes to Entertain Parents" in the living room.
Xiao Liangliang was wearing a pink floral cotton jacket today. Her soft hair was tied into two little buns on her head. She had a chubby little face with shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiled, making her look like a doll in a New Year picture.
The New Year picture doll held a handful of candy in her hand and was walking with her wobbly little legs, distributing her favorite candy to the elders one by one.
"Madam, give it to me. Grandma, give it to me!"
"Granny, give it to me!"
"Grandpa, give it to me!"
"Give it to me!"
Every elder who was given the candy was beaming with joy, as if they had received not just a candy but a piece of gold, and they uttered compliments without paying.
The little girl already understood the compliments, her little face was full of pride, she grabbed a candy and walked to her father, stretched out her little hand and said, "Daddy, peel it!"
My biological father was not treated as someone who could share candy with me. He was only treated as someone who could assign me tasks to do.
Fu Mingze glared at his daughter with a cold face: "Daddy won't peel it."
Before Xiao Liangliang could say anything, the elder next to him, who had just been bribed with candy by the little guy, refused to listen.
"Mingze, how old are you? Why are you still angry with your own daughter?"
"Hey, kid, why are you so stern? What if you scare the child? Hurry up and smile at the child!"
"It's just peeling a candy. Come on, Uncle Liangliang will peel it for you."
…
But is Xiao Liangliang afraid of her biological father?
The answer is that it is impossible to be afraid!
Fu Mingze always had a sullen face. The little girl was indeed his biological daughter. Facing a face with almost no expression, she could accurately tell when her biological father was in danger and when he was safe.
When she felt something was wrong, she would turn her head and dive into her grandfather's arms.
When she felt okay, she would stare at her biological father with her big round eyes and "argue" with him.
Like now.
The little guy stared at his father, pouted his lips, and shouted: "Daddy, peel it!"
Without waiting for Fu Mingze to say anything, she rolled her round eyes, turned around, twisted her little butt, took another candy from the fruit plate on the coffee table, and staggered in front of Fu Mingze: "Here."
A little expression that says "You just want candy, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Shen Moer leaned against the door and watched, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The others in the room couldn't help laughing, and the old lady slapped her thighs and almost cried with laughter: "Oh my, look, our little Liangliang is still generous and doesn't argue with her biological father."
Fu Mingze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He touched the little girl's soft hair and reluctantly stuffed the candy without the candy wrapper into his daughter's mouth: "You can only eat one."
When the little guy ate the delicious candy, he was immediately overjoyed. He threw himself into his father's arms and kissed him on the cheek. His saliva with the smell of milk immediately covered half of Fu Mingze's face.
Fu Mingze: “…”
The others couldn't stop laughing.
This is really a leaky little cotton jacket.

Three days later, Capital University suddenly notified all departments to suspend all classes in the afternoon and hold an emergency school-wide meeting.
"What's going on? Why are they suddenly notifying us to hold a school-wide meeting? Is it because the school can't stand the recent debate about whether the moon is round or not?" Yuan Lan said while eating.
Shen Moer distributed some of the braised pork in the enamel pot to Wu Yanan and Wang Sanchun, and then said, "We'll know in the afternoon."
In fact, she knew what was going on, but it was a bit troublesome to explain it to Yuan Lan and the others now. It would be better for them to listen to it themselves in the afternoon and understand what was going on.
Wang Sanchun was a little absent-minded. Usually when Shen Moer shared her dishes with her, she would refuse out loud, but this time she said nothing and just buried her head and ate in silence.
Wu Yanan was a little familiar with Shen Moer, and knew that Shen Moer's family was well-off. What she said about not liking to eat too much meat in one meal was also true, so she didn't bother to be polite with Shen Moer. She picked up the meat and ate happily, and even joked to herself: "I feel like I have gained a lot of weight since I went to college and was able to eat meat."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "It's a good thing you helped me share the burden, otherwise I would have gained ten times more weight."
Wu Yanan suddenly laughed embarrassedly.
Shen Moer glanced at Wang Sanchun, then exchanged glances with Yuan Lan. Yuan Lan silently said two words, "home". Shen Moer nodded to show that she understood, and changed the subject: "How are you reviewing?"
Yuan Lan: “…”
She would rather continue discussing the afternoon meeting.
Wu Yanan answered honestly: "It's okay. I just started reviewing. It's still early. I'll just take a look at it. But Lin Yiqing seems to be working particularly hard recently."
She suddenly looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "I once heard her telling someone next to the bushes downstairs that she was going to study abroad in the United States."
Yuan Lan immediately acted sneaky as well, and asked in a low voice, "Is she trying to get a place for the department's government-sponsored overseas students?"
Sending students abroad started last year, but the number was not large. It is said that there will be more places this year. The news has already spread throughout the department, but the school has not made any official announcement.
I heard that some junior students were given the opportunity to study abroad last year, so theoretically, they also have a great chance this year.
Wu Yanan said softly, "It seems so, but she also said that even if she couldn't get a place to study abroad at public expense, she would go abroad at her own expense. She also mentioned Mr. Su who donated the library to our school, and said that Mr. Su promised to help find someone to write a letter of recommendation for her."
Yuan Lan also whispered: "Do you think this Mr. Su has taken some kind of drug from Lin Yiqing? He asked someone to write a recommendation letter for her and donated a library to our school."
After a pause, she lowered her voice even more: "It's not that my thoughts are impure, ha, could it be that Mr. Su has a crush on Lin Yiqing?"
Shen Moer choked on a mouthful of rice and started coughing violently. It took her a long time to recover. She couldn't help but say, "Don't guess. Mr. Su is old enough to be Lin Yiqing's father. Besides, he has already started a family in the beautiful country and has a wife and children."
Su Jingnian had told her that he and his wife met in Taiwan Province, and later they went to the United States together, settled down there, and had three children. The eldest son was about the same age as Shen Moer.
Yuan Lan muttered, "How do you know?" Then she thought that Shen Moer was also in the reception team of the inspection team, and thought that she heard it from others during the inspection team, so she made a gesture to shut up: "Just pretend you didn't hear it, I just had a sudden thought."
Of course, it was not until the school-wide meeting in the afternoon that Yuan Lan realized that Shen Moer had not heard it from others during the inspection team, but that Mr. Su had told her himself.
Also, Mr. Su doesn't fancy Lin Yiqing at all. Mr. Su's affairs have nothing to do with Lin Yiqing!
Lin Yiqing was just daydreaming and having wild fantasies!
