Chapter 188 Extra: Making Gold
When she was kicked out of the house by Nie Lao San's wife, Sheng Jin was only about four years old. He was still young at that time and probably only had a vague impression of her, knowing that she was once his sister.
After that, the Nie family and the Gu family were not on good terms and had little contact with each other. Even when the children met on the streets or in the mountains, they would not speak. If the adults did not speak but the children did, wouldn't they be beaten and scolded?
Therefore, Fubao and Shengjin rarely spoke to each other.
They were from the same village and had been siblings for more than ten years without much communication. But if they were in a foreign land, in this distant and prosperous capital, and saw each other unexpectedly, he would call her "Sister Fubao".
It was this sound that made Fubao remember that he had called himself that when he was a child.
Fu Bao looked around the dormitory and asked with a smile, "I know you got into college, so I came to see you. The others in the dormitory haven't arrived yet?"
Shengjin was still a little shy in front of Fubao, and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, they haven't arrived yet. Actually, I came too early. I was afraid that there might be any trouble and the school would be delayed, so I came early. I didn't expect to come too early."
As he said this, he touched his head embarrassedly.
Fubao looked at his reserved look and smiled: "Who sent you here?"
When talking about this, Sheng Jin's eyes dimmed a little: "I came here by myself. My parents were busy and had no time to see me off. My sister was also busy."
Seeing him like this, Fubao immediately understood.
Nie Laosan's wife was cruel to him in the past, but loved Shengjin and Shengyin very much. However, as life became worse and worse, the resentment in his heart grew bigger and bigger. With the growing resentment, his temper became worse, and the little maternal love he once had was also eroded over the years.
At this moment, she might not be very kind to Sheng Jin.
Fubao sighed secretly in his heart and asked softly, "Have you eaten?"
Sheng Jin shook his head: "I just arrived and haven't eaten yet. How can I eat in the cafeteria?"
Seeing this, Fubao said directly: "Come on, I'll take you out to eat the fried noodles here, which is a local specialty."
Shengjin was of course embarrassed and was dragged out by Fubao.
A bowl of noodles with soybean paste, topped with sauce and mixed with various vegetables. The rich and bright sauce wraps around the white flour noodles, making people hungry at first sight.
Shengjin must have been really hungry, so he didn't hesitate and ate with big mouthfuls.
Fubao looked at him and remembered when he first came to the city. At that time, Brother Dingkun also ordered a bowl of fried noodles with soybean paste for him.
She chuckled, and seeing that he had almost finished eating, she asked him about various things, such as his future choice of major.
Sheng Jin looked bewildered: "How do I choose a major? I don't know either."
They were all rural people who had just moved to the city. How could they understand this? They thought that once they got into university, they would eat commercial grain from then on. They didn't know there was such a thing as a major.
Fubao helped him analyze the advantages of the University of Science and Technology, the possible future assignments for graduates of each major, and the learning goals that should be achieved in the four years of university.
After hearing these words, Sheng Jin was stunned. After being stunned, he became more confused. After being confused, he slowly understood.
I thought that getting into university would be enough to fulfill my wish, but I didn't know that once I entered the city and looked out over this vast world, it would be an even more difficult road.
Live a life of idleness and wait for death, then get assigned to a unit after graduation and continue to idle away. That is one way of living. Use these four years to work hard.
Working hard to enrich yourself and reach new heights is another way of living.
Shengjin looked at Fubao and was deeply moved: "Sister Fubao, I understood some of what you said, but not all of it. However, I think what you said makes sense. I will ask you for advice more often in the future."
Fu Bao smiled and said, "Our Imperial University is not far from your school. It only takes ten minutes to get there by bike. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. No matter what we say—"
We were once a family, but not anymore.
Fu Bao paused for a moment and said, "Since we're all from the same village, we must take care of each other."
Shengjin nodded gratefully: "Sister Fubao, thank you!"
He was admitted to university, and no one told him what he should prepare. His mother was just happy, saying that his admission to university would bring honor to the family and that from now on he could send money and things home. He found out on his own what he needed to prepare for university, and after finding a way to get the money together, he finally came to the capital.
After coming to the capital, no one cared about him anymore. From then on, he was alone and had to rely on his own strength to fight.
At this time, the hand extended by Fubao was like a piece of driftwood in the vast ocean to him. He felt that he had a companion here, psychological support, and someone to discuss things with when encountering problems.
After dinner, Fubao accompanied Shengjin back to school. Shengjin told Fubao all his questions and his curiosity about the city. Fubao answered them one by one and finally reminded him: "In addition to learning professional knowledge, you must also learn English well, especially spoken English. This will be very important in the future. Our country now has a quota for publicly funded overseas study every year, and when allocating quotas, they attach great importance to TOEFL scores."
Although Shengjin didn't understand TOEFL yet and didn't know what the indicators for studying abroad at government expense were, he tried his best to memorize them.
Before leaving, Shengjin, who had already said goodbye to Fubao, suddenly thought of something and called Fubao.
Fubao was surprised: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Shengjin looks forward to Fubao.
Of course he knew that Fubao had once been his sister, and that they had eaten from the same pot, but had later been driven out by his mother.
Fubao is very handsome, fair and clean, and he is pleasing to the eye.
When he was a child, he used to secretly watch Fubao.
When she grew up, she was smart, capable and sensible. Shengjin wished more than once that she was his sister, and how nice it would be if she had not been driven away.
But he knew it was impossible. There were some things his mother did that he didn't understand when he was a child. But when he grew up, he understood. He knew that his mother was a person with a very bad temper. If he was not her biological son, he would not be able to tolerate it.
So this idea gradually faded away. I knew it was impossible and that we were not from the same world.
What he didn't expect was that he was admitted to Capital University of Technology and came to the capital, and she was so good to him.
Thinking of the past, Shengjin's eyes were actually a little moist. He smiled shyly, looked away, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Fubao, when I was a child, I was not very sensible. If I bullied you, then, then I'm sorry..."
When I was very young, I didn’t understand much and didn’t know the concepts of right and wrong. I followed my parents in many things.
Fubao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Shengjin to say this to her.
She was silent for a moment, then smiled: "What are you talking about? I've forgotten all about those childhood memories!"
When she said that, he also smiled and couldn't help but touch his head again: "Thank you, Sister Fubao, thank you so much."
