Chapter 239 Aunt Huang’s answer is definitely the best solution
Tuanan knew that they were coming home today, and he and Xiaoting were waiting eagerly.
When the car drove to the door, he ran out, helped take the luggage from the car and carried it back home.
Everyone happily gathered around Zhou Huaiyi to distribute gifts. Huang Ling pulled him aside, told him the result, and gave him a stack of school photos.
"This is the library...this is the teaching building..." Huang Ling introduced the school to him.
"I've seen this gate in the newspaper." Tuanan pointed to a photo, his eyes full of surprise.
"Now we can put our minds at ease and get through this final hurdle," Huang Ling encouraged.
Gifts such as watches, roast duck, and preserved fruits are no longer important to Tuanan, because Huang Ling has already given him the best gift.
The next day when he went to school, he met Xie Zheyu at the door. Xie Zheyu noticed at a glance that the electronic watch on his wrist had been replaced with a silver mechanical watch.
"Aunt Huang, you are so generous. I've been wanting a digital watch for a whole year, and I just put it on, and you're already upgrading." Xie Zheyu raised his wrist in the air, full of envy.
Tunan smiled.
Thinking about college, he asked Xie Zheyu, "Have you decided on your target school?"
"Which other university can I apply to? Isn't my uncle a teacher at Jiaotong University? My parents think it's closer to study in Shanghai." Xie Zheyu replied.
Tunan stopped, looked at him, and suddenly said: "What if Shanshan goes to Beijing?"
He was not talking nonsense. He heard Wu Shanshan asking Huang Ling for her opinion at the factory over the weekend.
Huang Ling advised her not to consider Wu Jun, because Shanghai was the same as Beijing, and it was impossible to take care of him all the time. Besides, Wu Jun also needed to grow up on his own, rather than always being under her wing.
She suggested that Wu Shanshan go to the best liberal arts school. Although she didn't say it explicitly, it was undoubtedly Peking University.
With the support of her brother and Huang Ling, Wu Shanshan settled down. Whether she could break free from the shackles of her family depended on this one move. Now, she was very confident.
Xie Zheyu was stunned when he heard Tunan's words, then said, "What does it have to do with me if she goes to Beijing?"
"It's okay, I was just saying it casually." Tuanan curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
When they were about to reach the classroom, Xie Zheyu asked: "Didn't she say she was going to Shanghai to take care of her brother when she went to Beijing?"
"Isn't it none of your business?"
"No, I'm just curious, what about you? Have you thought about it?"
Tunan nodded and said, "I've made up my mind. My goal is Tsinghua University."
"Then I will also apply to Tsinghua University and become your alumnus." Xie Zheyu and he had similar academic performance, and the two often competed for the top three in their grade.
"Xie Zheyu, this is a serious matter. Don't take it lightly. Think about it carefully." Tuanan was convinced by him.
"I've thought this through carefully! And this is the result I got through reasoning. You, you have no idea, it must be Aunt Huang who chose it for you! With Aunt Huang's ability, the one she came up with must be the best solution! If she helps you choose, then isn't that helping me choose?
So my conclusion is, just be like you. The fact that you were able to apply means you're more than 20 points ahead of the cutoff. I'm only about 5 or 8 points behind you. If I don't choose a popular major, there's no problem at all. Maybe I'll even score 5 or 8 points higher than you!"
Tunan, who always managed his facial expressions well, lost control of his facial expressions at this moment.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
You said it's not right, it seems to make sense.
You're right, but it seems we can't do that.
"It's decided. My new goal is Tsinghua University! I need to go and do some questions quickly." Xie Zheyu laughed and went to his seat.
Tunan shook his head: "I'll do a few exercises to calm my nerves."

The next day, when Song Ying came home from get off work, she heard Lin Dongzhe howling in the house.
She was delighted, knowing that it was Huang Ling who had returned, and she called out before she even entered the room:
"Sister Ling!"
Huang Ling answered from inside the room. When she saw her come in, she asked:
"How did you know I was coming?"
"Lin Dongzhe! He's screaming like a ghost. You must have bought him something nice, so he must be happy."
"Mom, mom, look!" Lin Dongzhe raised his arm to show Song Ying.
It was a men's electronic watch.
"Oh, why buy such a precious thing for this naughty monkey?"
"Mom, mom, look behind you!"
Lin Dongzhe ignored his mother's teasing and took off the watch to show her the back, on which were the words "Beijing Commemoration".
"This is really good." Song Ying was also happy to see it.
"Mom, Auntie, I'm going out to play for a while and then come back to do my homework!"
Before the two of them agreed, he ran out and ran into Lin Wufeng who was coming back from get off work.
"Dad! Look!"
He just waved his hand in front of Lin Wufeng, and before Lin Wufeng could see clearly, the man had already run away.
"Wu Feng, Sister Ling is back." Song Ying called.
"It turned out that Sister Ling bought him an electronic watch. I didn't even have a clear look at it before she ran away." Lin Wufeng said with a smile.
"It's just right that Mr. Lin is back." Huang Ling took out another leather box and handed it to Song Ying.
"It's for me!" Song Ying took it.
"Yours."
"What? This box looks expensive."
She opened it happily, and inside was a pair of Enicar watches.
"It's a couple's pair, one for you and one for Mr. Lin. It's a new model that's not available in Shanghai," Huang Ling introduced.
"How much is this? It's quite expensive," Song Ying asked.
She had always wanted a small gold chain. She had seen it on TV but had never been able to buy it. Now the style she had in her hand was exactly what she wanted.
"It doesn't matter how much money you pay, I just want to ask you whether you like it or not." Huang Ling did not answer the question directly.
"I like it, but..."
Lin Gong took over and said, "Sister Ling, this is too expensive. Please check how much it costs and we will pay you."
"Then I don't want the money, and I won't give you the watch. I'll throw it in the trash can when I go out." Huang Ling snatched the watch box back.
"Hey! You are such a jerk! Give it to me," Song Ying got anxious when she heard it, and snatched it back. She took the watch out of the box and started to wear it. "How do I open it? Sister Ling, can you help me fix it?"
Huang Ling began to help her put it on.
"Just right! Oh, it's so beautiful!" Song Ying raised her hands to show the two of them.
"Take it down and I'll throw it in the trash!"
"Let go!"
The two began to tickle each other daily.
Afraid that they would drop the watch, Engineer Lin happily picked up the watch box from Song Ying's legs.
After enough fun, the two asked Mr. Lin to try it on. It was high-end, classy and classy.
Huang Ling told Song Ying:
"When I went to the watch counter, the girl selling watches dropped her jaw. She had never seen me buy a watch like that."
How did you buy it?
Huang Ling stood up and performed: "Comrade, wrap up all of this row for me."
"Hahahahahaha! A row! The little girl was scared to death."
Huang Ling still remembers that in the drama, the original owner followed Zhuang Chaoying and suffered a lot but got nothing in return. The first gold necklace was bought for her by Song Ying.
They sat side by side in the yard, holding up their wrists, the setting sun shining on their faces and on the sparkling watches on their wrists.
Before we knew it, midsummer was here.
