July is the hottest month of the year and also a month full of farewells.
On the day she received the admission letter, Zhang Chuntao finally smiled.
She tore open the envelope tremblingly, and when she saw the four big golden words "Capital University", she screamed excitedly.
All the hard work and sweat over the past year have not been wasted after all.
"Did you pass the exam?" Huang Ying picked up the phone. When she heard her ex-husband's words, her mood was extremely complicated.
As a mother, she is naturally happy that her daughter is making progress.
But now Huang Ying has already given all her energy and love to her son. She suddenly feels as if she has made a wrong bet. Maybe she should help her daughter more.
Perhaps, she should improve her relationship with her daughter so that she can take care of her younger brother in the future.
…
Zhang Chuntao saw Xiaohua again at her graduation banquet.
"I find that when we meet each other now, it's either to get married or to go to school. We don't see each other unless it's necessary." Xiaohua joked immediately after seeing Zhang Chuntao.
"Really?" Zhang Chuntao smiled. "At least this holiday, I can go out whenever you want to see me."
"Oh, I have no choice now," Xiaohua shook her head. "I left my child with my mother-in-law today. But if I go out to play every day, she will definitely scold me."
Skinny Monkey also came. Of course, he was not on the invitation list, but the fact that Zhang Chuntao was admitted to Beijing University had already been widely circulated in Banxia City.
He looked at Xiaohua and Zhang Chuntao from afar and found that although these two women were of similar age standing together, Xiaohua looked much older.
Before Zhang Chuntao noticed him, the skinny monkey left.
"You," Zhang Chuntao shook her head, looking rather angry at him for not fighting back. "You have to make money and take care of the kids, but what about Zhang Xin? Is he just sitting around doing nothing?"
"Don't mention him," Xiaohua said after a year of marriage, her fantasy about Zhang Xin finally shattered. "As for me, I'm working hard to make money for my child. I just hope my child doesn't end up like me, but like his godmother, and studies hard!"
These words sounded familiar, and Zhang Chuntao remembered that this was what Xiaohua's mother used to love to say.
At that time, Xiaohua complained about her mother's nagging all the time, and said that it was cruel for her to pin her hopes on her child. Who would have thought that a few years later, these words would come out of Xiaohua's mouth herself.
"Your mother is here!" Xiaohua was sharp-eyed and quickly noticed Huang Ying, who was dressed fashionably and avant-garde.
At that time, few people would go to the provincial capital specifically to buy clothes, so Huang Ying immediately became the focus of everyone's envy.
She was holding the hand of a cynical little boy, and standing next to her was the chubbier Uncle Yang.
"Mom," Yang Xing was indignant. Who would have thought that the person who got into Jingcheng University, the one praised and envied by everyone, would be the sister he looked down upon. "Are her grades real?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huang Ying was about to slap him. "She's your sister, show some respect! And when you see her later, you have to be nice to her, too. Got it?"
Yang Xing hummed sullenly, his face full of reluctance.
Huang Ying had already walked over at this time. When she saw Zhang Chuntao, she showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
"Taozi, you did so well in the exam this time. You really make me proud!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Chuntao still gave Huang Ying enough face and said with a smile, "Well, thank you, Mom."
Uncle Yang glanced at Zhang Chuntao before saying to Taozi's father, "You are amazing. You have raised such an outstanding daughter."
Old Zhang could tell that this was the most sincere praise Old Yang had given Zhang Chuntao in all these years.
Valley sac
He looked at his daughter and suddenly felt that all his efforts over the years were worth it.
Zhang Chuntao was very happy at the graduation banquet. Everyone took good care of her, and the various compliments made her feel very comfortable.
After the graduation banquet was over, Uncle Yang waved his hand and invited Zhang Chuntao, her grandfather and father to have dinner together at a high-end restaurant.
"I heard it's a more upscale restaurant than the Red Wall!" Xiaohua was quite envious after hearing this.
Whether she was willing to admit it in her heart or not, the distance between her and Zhang Chuntao was getting farther and farther.
Xiaohua even suspected that perhaps after the summer vacation ended and Zhang Chuntao went to Beijing, they would gradually lose contact.
After Zhang Chuntao walked into the high-end restaurant, she found that in addition to the two families, there were also several elders she didn't know.
Judging from her appearance, she should be the same age as her father.
As if to answer Zhang Chuntao's doubts, Huang Ying said, "These are your Uncle Yang's friends, all of whom work in the government. It was me who suggested today that he bring you here to see the world. It would be a good thing for your father anyway."
Zhang Chuntao knew what Huang Ying said was true, so she agreed. It was just a meal. And she had indeed received a lot of material help from her mother over the years.
Yang Xing sat opposite Zhang Chuntao. He stared at this increasingly unfamiliar sister and felt dissatisfied.
But soon, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dad, I want to eat dog meat stew!"
Uncle Yang didn't think much of it: "Well, the dog meat stew in this restaurant is their specialty, you must try it when you come here."
Zhang Chuntao naturally noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from the opposite side, and the owner of this gaze was her younger brother.
Dog meat?
What a cruel child.
However, Zhang Chuntao still responded with a smile and accepted his provocation calmly.
When the steaming hot dog meat stew was served on the table, Yang Xing, like a cute little brother, took the initiative to pick up a piece of dog meat for his sister and put it into his mouth: "Sister, please eat it."
The others burst into laughter:
"Yang Xing really likes his sister!"
"These two kids have such a good relationship!"
"Yang Xing is such a sensible and sweet-talking kid. You've educated him really well, Mr. Yang."
Even Lao Zhang seemed to have forgotten Einstein and said with a smile: "Eat the peach quickly. After all, it was given to you by your brother."
Zhang Chuntao seemed to be back in the noisy and chaotic dance hall. She stared at the dog meat in the bowl as if facing a great enemy.
But under so many expectant eyes, she still picked up the piece of dog meat and put it into her mouth.
It tasted pretty good, though a little hot. But for some reason, Zhang Chuntao burst into tears while eating.
“It’s so delicious,” she said through tears. “It’s so delicious that it makes me cry.”
She kept picking up dog meat and putting it into her bowl, eating while crying, but the corners of her mouth were raised.
This scene made the audience feel extremely distressed, and they wanted to reach through the screen to hug Zhang Chuntao.
When Yu Lina saw this performance, she suddenly felt that her position as the best actress was unstable.
