Chapter 019 Leaving
Jinling City Municipal Middle School is under expansion. A new teaching building will be built, and the existing two-story teaching building will be renovated and expanded. All first-year high school students were temporarily placed in two rows of bungalows for transition.
When the school made this decision, Lin Zhengqing voted against it as the vice president.
Those two rows of bungalows were school buildings before liberation. They were abandoned when a large number of schools were closed in the late 1960s and have been vacant for more than ten years. According to Lin Zhengqing's idea, the bungalow should be reinforced and repaired during the summer vacation, and then students could move in to attend classes.
But Sun Boping, the president of the university at the time, insisted on going his own way, saying that the school's funds were limited and it had already cost a huge amount to build a teaching building. There was no budget left to repair this dilapidated building.
Besides, the renovated teaching building will be completed in October. When the students move out, the bungalow will be demolished. For more than a month of transition, it is not worth spending so much money.
The reasons were very good and the plan was passed.
In fact, Lin Zhengqing knew it. Sun Boping felt the threat from Lin Zhengqing, so he resolutely rejected Lin Zhengqing's proposal. If someone else had mentioned it, Sun Boping might have accepted it.
It's fine now. The beams collapsed. Lin Zhengqing's worries became a reality and the students were injured.
Lin Zhengqing was not a vegetarian. He immediately found the minutes of the meeting, threw them to the working group from the Education Bureau, and then devoted himself to the disaster relief work.
By the time the students and parents were settled in the hospital and finally returned to school, it was already dark. Teacher Zhang, a follower, immediately reported to him that Police Zhao from Qingyang Police Station had called. Only then did Lin Zhengqing remember that there was also the matter of Lin Siwei's household registration.
When I called him again, Police Officer Zhao was already off duty. Lin Zhengqing always felt uneasy, so he entrusted the school affairs to the vice principal on duty and hurried home.
When I got home, the house was already in chaos.
The door is in tatters and the house is deserted. Liu Yuxiu is not at home. Lin JiaLe regarded him as an enemy and immediately slammed the door. Although Lin Jiahuan was also dissatisfied, she was still able to communicate, saying that her grandpa had been to Fish Bone Lane and hurt a neighbor and was sent to the police station. Liu Yuxiu went to her grandpa's house to comfort her.
Lin Zhengqing felt dizzy, and his heart felt cold to his heels. Now we are in big trouble, at home, at school, everywhere.
He began to wonder if Lin Siwei had a bad fate.
Sangmenxing. So after his mother died in the country and she went to the city to seek refuge with him, he immediately became so unlucky?
Fortunately, school has been arranged for her, so let's go quickly.
"Siwei, has the matter been done?" He called Lin Siwei into the yard and asked quietly.
Lin Siwei was still carrying the yellow satchel. The yellow satchel is indeed much easier to use than the sack.
"It's done. This is grandma's household registration book. I'll give it back to you." She respectfully handed the household registration book back to Lin Zhengqing with both hands.
After registering at the police station, she was no longer afraid of any complications. She returned her household registration book generously and appeared to be very obedient and filial.
Lin Zhengqing took the household registration book, opened it and looked at it, feeling filled with emotion.
Don't blame me for not keeping you, there's nothing I can do about it.
Lin Zhengqing said: "Tomorrow I will take you to the Grain Technical School. You bring everything with you and you will not come back here again."
Sure enough, it was three days. Lin Siwei thought to himself: I originally didn't want to stay longer, but your last sentence is quite indifferent.
"Can't I come to see you even during the holidays?" Lin Siwei asked deliberately and naively.
Lin Zhengqing hesitated.
In fact, he also thought that even if he lived on campus, there would always be weekends, holidays, and winter and summer vacations. Should Lin Siwei be allowed to live on campus forever without coming back?
But if she comes back, I am afraid that she will be swept away by this broom star again.
He said harshly: "I'll go tell Principal Xie that you'll be allowed to live on campus during the holidays."
This was a clear rejection. Lin Siwei sneered in his heart, but said: "Maybe I can go visit grandma when I have time. I remember the address. After all, I am also her granddaughter, and I am on her household registration, so I should go and see her."
Lin Zhengqing's heart moved.
He is an only son and has two older sisters. After my father died of illness a few years ago, my mother lived alone. Liu Yuxiu thought her family was poor and rarely interacted with the Lin family. Her mother-in-law looked down upon her and had long since stated that she would not allow him to live with her.
If Lin Siwei is willing to take more care of the elderly, wouldn't he be able to help Lin Zhengqing fulfill his filial piety?
He looked at Lin Siwei and suddenly felt that this child was not completely useless. I even started to reflect on myself, why didn’t I think of such a good arrangement?
"You are really a filial child. It's settled. When school is over, I will take you to grandma's house to meet you."
...
Lin Zhengqing was particularly efficient in sending Lin Siwei away.
Early the next morning, Lin Siwei was carrying a yellow satchel and a sack to say goodbye to the place where he had lived for three days.
No one said goodbye.
Lin Jiale threw a paper ball into the yard and pointed at Sang and Huai: "Garbage should go to the garbage dump. You can't recognize your own place."
Lin Jiahuan closed the English book: "It's not all garbage when you come out of the technical school, but it's definitely not gold."
Liu Yuxiu went even further and moved the bamboo ladder out of the house and put it on the courtyard wall. Use actions to show that I have taken back the attic and it no longer belongs to you.
Lin Siwei didn't bother to argue with them. She already has a new platform in her life, so she doesn't want to play any family ethics drama with them.
The Grain Technical School was a bit far away. Lin Zhengqing rode his bicycle with her for nearly forty minutes, sweating profusely, and finally saw a dilapidated school building in a suburban town.
It must be said that Jinling in this era was not developed at all. The urban area is extremely small.
A forty-minute bicycle ride is actually only seven or eight kilometers. I will leave this for future generations, but here in the urban area, housing prices are sky-high. But now, everyone still calls it "countryside".
"How about it? This school is pretty good, isn't it?" Lin Zhengqing was panting, but standing at the school gate, he felt a sense of vanity to show off his abilities to a daughter from the countryside.
Lin Siwei nodded: "It's so big, with dozens of acres of land."
Lin Zhengqing and Yourong Yan said: "It's older than our city, but this school building and this area are almost as big as those of colleges and universities. Our city The school is not as big as the school. It is a provincial school after all."
Lin Siwei still nodded: "The land in the city is expensive, so it is better to go to the city."
After saying this, Lin Zhengqing became proud again: "That's a pity. You can’t enter the city anymore, Jia Huan Jiale’s goal is the city.”
"But it's the same if I make money earlier."
"That's right. Work early and become independent earlier, and you don't have to worry about it."
This was Lin Zhengqing's heartfelt words. He even wanted to say, get married early, and you wo n't have to worry about it. It has nothing to do with the Lin family at all, and I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a father.
"Principal Lin, you're here so early."
An enthusiastic voice sounded behind them. It was Xie Baosheng who was at work.
