Chapter 368 Promise
After seeing Hong Sheng off, Lin Su'e packed up and went out.
Daxing Town, La Meizi Hotpot Restaurant, Zhao Chunlan saw her with a surprised look on her face: "Mom?!"
Lin Su'e got straight to the point: "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Zhao Chunlan: "What's the matter?"
Lin Su'e briefly explained what Hong Sheng had said to her.
After listening.
Zhao Chunlan fell into deep thought: "Mom, if Zhenli really has this talent, I don't think it's impossible."
"After all, his academic performance is really poor."
"It might be more suitable for him to go down the sports path and continue his studies as a gifted student."
"Is it?"
Lin Su'e's eyes flashed: "I think so too."
"I thought so."
Zhao Chunlan: "You can ask Zhenren, Zhenyi and Fenglan for their opinions."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Yes, let's pool our wisdom."
She is not a domineering person. She allows children to participate in important family matters, especially adults.
The brothers and sisters in my family have a good relationship, so they should have known about this.
Call Zhao Zhenren first.
After listening, Zhao Zhenren said without hesitation: "I agree, the third child's grades are indeed not good. It's better for him to go into sports. At least he can be a physical education teacher in the future, which is also a stable job."
Although you can't make much money.
But, with him around, he will definitely take care of his younger brother.
The eldest brother is like a father. Now the family situation is better and they have money, but his position on himself has not changed.
In his heart, whether it is his mother, elder sister, younger brother or younger sisters, they are all his responsibility.
Lin Su'e: "Okay, I understand."
“…”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she hung up the phone.
Then.
I called Zhao Zhenyi again.
"A sports student?"
"I actually know one. My roommate's brother was a sports student, and he also got into Tsinghua University. He won provincial-level awards and participated in Tsinghua's winter camp. He was admitted through early admissions."
Hearing this, Lin Su'e was interested: "Enroll in school in advance?"
"Um."
Zhao Zhenyi: "Sports students and art students all have interviews before the college entrance examination. After passing the interviews, they wait for the college entrance examination scores to come out. Generally, they can get in with 300 or 400 points."
"Of course, my roommate's brother has a Beijing hukou, so locals have some policy advantages, with higher scores and higher enrollment numbers."
Lin Su'e understood: "Is that so~"
But he thought to himself: I also have several properties in Beijing, and all of these houses have quotas. It would be easy to register Zhao Zhenli.
only.
Zhao Zhenli didn't have to go to Beijing.
If you want to learn sports, shouldn’t you study it there?
Even if she studies sports, she still hopes to keep her children by her side.
The child is still young~
Zhao Zhenyi spoke again: "The third child doesn't like reading, so I think it's a good idea for him to go into sports."
He had taught Zhao Zhenli to read before, so he naturally knew his level. If he had just studied hard, he would probably not even be able to graduate from elementary school. Now that he had shown a talent for sports, this was a good opportunity.
"Mom, you said he recently participated in the county's table tennis competition and won first place? If he wins a few more, he will definitely have no problem going to junior high school, if nothing else."
"Besides, this is without any professional training. Once you have enough training and win a few provincial and municipal awards, you won't have to worry about high school..."
Hear this.
Lin Su'e's eyes lit up: She had no other extravagant hopes, she just hoped that Zhao Zhenli could go to school and not become illiterate.
"Okay, Mom knows. I'll think about it carefully."
“…”
After chatting for a few more words, I hung up the phone with him.
Lin Su'e called Zhao Fenglan again and told her about Zhao Zhenli.
Zhao Fenglan also expressed her support: "Mom, I was admitted because of my cultural talent. If the third child has this talent, we must make use of it."
She is partial to certain subjects.
I was very weak in science, but fortunately I was favored by Professor Zhao in advance and was specially recruited into the Chinese Department.
certainly.
This is also because she has won several literary awards.
"My Father and Mother" won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of the top awards in the country, and naturally it was able to open the door to Fudan University.
Even Peking University and Tsinghua University can be expected.
But she chose Fudan because of her teacher.
Thinking of this, she naturally said: "Maybe, the third child can go to Tsinghua University or Peking University by participating in competitions and winning awards~"
"hehe."
Lin Su'e smiled from the bottom of her heart: "I will be very lucky if he can go to Chengdu University~"
But I have made up my mind.
“…”
After finishing her business, she asked a few questions about Zhao Fenglan's study, life and work before hanging up the phone.
…
Having nothing to do.
She spent the whole afternoon in the hot pot restaurant and went with Zhao Chunlan to pick up four children from school.
Zhao Zhenli: "Mom?!"
Zhao Yulan: "Mom, why are you here today? You came specially to pick us up~"
Zhao Zhenxin: "Mom!!"
Zhao Baozhu: "Grandma, Mom~"
Lin Su'e waved her hand and said, "Come up and sit down, let's go home."
It was inconvenient on the road, so she didn't tell Zhao Zhenli about changing to study physical education.
Back home.
Zhao Zhenli: "Finally I'm back. I'm so tired~"
“So hungry~”
"Mom, what are we having for dinner?"
“…”
Lin Su'e didn't answer. She cleared her throat and looked at Zhao Zhenli seriously: "Third brother, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this.
Zhao Zhenli suddenly became nervous.
He muttered to himself: Have I made any mistake again?
I tried desperately to recall the past, but I couldn’t think of the following: What haven’t I done recently? Didn't offend the teacher, didn't fail to hand in homework on time, didn't come in late or leave early...
Could it be that the fact that I copied my deskmate's homework was exposed?
No way? !
I obviously didn't copy it, I changed several places on purpose...
Zhao Zhenxin and the other two also looked over curiously.
The three of them thought in their hearts at the same time: What mistake did the third brother/uncle make again?
Lin Su'e told him carefully what Hong Sheng had said today.
Zhao Zhenli suddenly realized.
Zhao Zhenxin and the other two were also shocked and surprised.
"Third brother, you won first place?"
"Third brother, you are amazing. You actually won first place in a competition with so many people from the entire county?"
"Third uncle is awesome!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenli couldn't help but let out a smug smile: "Not bad, those guys are too weak, I didn't even try my best, I just fought casually and won first place."
"After I came back, I told Teacher Hong that it was not interesting at all~"
"It's not challenging at all. I feel like it's not as exciting as playing with the seniors in school."
What a Versailles.
Lin Su'e shook her head amusedly and asked, "So do you want to concentrate on studying sports and participate in competitions often in the future?"
Hearing this.
Zhao Zhenli regained his focus, a little dazed: "I, I haven't thought about it..."
Lin Su'e: "...Do you like playing games?"
"Well enough."
Zhao Zhenli touched his chin and said, "Playing games is much more interesting than studying~"
This is the true thought of a poor student.
"I'm sure I'll meet a lot of people with great skills in the competition. I really want to compete with them. It's interesting to compete with people with good table tennis skills~"
At the end of his speech, his eyes lit up.
See here.
A look of understanding flashed across Lin Su'e's eyes.
The third child likes sports, but he is too young and doesn’t know what this choice means.
This means that as a parent, she has to make choices for him.
To this.
Lin Su'e didn't hesitate for long and quickly came up with an answer: "I've made up my mind, let's learn it!"
"Tomorrow, I will talk to your teacher Hong about this matter. From now on, you will be under his responsibility. Listen to him carefully."
Zhao Zhenli nodded obediently.
At this time.
Zhao Zhenxin interrupted with an anxious voice: "So, from now on, Third Brother won't go to school with us?"
The three of them had been together from the first grade to the fourth grade and had a very good relationship. He didn't want to be separated from his third brother.
Zhao Yulan also agreed: "Yes~"
Zhao Baozhu: "I want to see my third uncle. Baozhu likes my third uncle."
After listening.
Lin Su'e patiently explained: "Don't worry, the third child will still go to school with you in the future, but he will probably take leave from class more often to go for sports training."
Zhao Zhenxin and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good!"
Zhao Yulan said carefully, "From now on, Third Brother's cultural studies will be left to me. I will take good notes so that Third Brother can understand them as soon as he sees my notebook."
Zhao Zhenli looked embarrassed.
Little sister, I appreciate your kindness, but it’s not necessary.
Zhao Baozhu waved her little fist and said, "Uncle San, bring back a championship!"
Zhao Zhenli rubbed her hairy head and boasted without thinking: "Good niece, you have a good eye. Just wait and see. Third uncle will definitely win a championship for you."
Zhao Baozhu admired him: "Okay!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
No one expected that the joke would become reality.
“…”
…
the next day.
Lin Su'e was going to see Hong Sheng, so she and Zhao Chunlan simply sent the children to school.
Then, I went to Hong Sheng’s office.
A female teacher saw her and said, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Lin Su'e replied: "I'm looking for Master Hong Shenghong."
Female teacher: "Oh, he doesn't have classes this morning, so he probably hasn't..."
Before he finished speaking, Hong Sheng's surprised voice rang out from outside the door: "Zhao Zhenli's mother, you came to see me?"
"Come in quickly."
"Have you decided on that matter?"
Lin Su'e looked over and nodded at him with a smile: "Yes, that's right."
Please ask her to sit down.
Hong Sheng enthusiastically poured her some water: "Drink some water."
Lin Su'e: "Thank you."
Hong Sheng looked at her eagerly.
Lin Su'e didn't keep the secret and said first: "Teacher Hong, I will leave my Zhenli to you from now on."
As soon as these words came out.
Hong Sheng was stunned at first, then he showed an ecstatic expression and nodded continuously: "No problem, leave it to me."
"Teacher Hong, I am naturally relieved."
Lin Su'e asked again: "If Zhenli studies physical education in the future, do I need to tell his class teacher?"
“There are some formalities.”
Hong Sheng: "But it doesn't matter. I can handle it. If you are free, accompany me to meet the class teacher and prove that Zhenli's transfer to a sports student has been approved by his parents."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Of course there is no problem."
"Okay, let's go."
“…”
I went to meet the head teacher and everything went smoothly. After all, head teacher Zhao Zhenli had always been troubled by him. It was not that he disliked children with poor grades, but he was simply worried about him. What if he couldn't graduate?
It would be best if you could get extra points in sports now.
After saying.
Lin Su'e said goodbye to Hong Sheng: "Teacher Hong, I will trouble you to take care of Zhenli from now on."
Hong Sheng laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "It should be, haha."
Lin Su'e: "Then if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Hong Sheng: "Slow down."
The two separated.
Hong Sheng returned to the office humming a song.
The teacher in the same office couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this: "You look so happy. Your dream has finally come true~"
She is also a physical education teacher, so she naturally knows what happened between Hong Sheng and Zhao Zhenli.
Hong Sheng shook his head: "Hey, this is not called wish fulfillment, but it is called where there is a will there is a way. It is all thanks to my persistence that I finally moved the heart of Zhao Zhenli's parents."
The female teacher complained: "Are you trying to impress him? It's obvious that Zhao Zhenli's grades are too poor, so his parents can only take a gamble by taking other measures."
Hong Sheng didn't care: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have a precious disciple now."
He was also glad that Zhao Zhenli was a dummy when it came to studying, otherwise there would have been no way he would have been able to concentrate on studying sports with him in his entire life.
Zhao Zhenli: Teacher, you speak very nicely. Please don’t say that again next time.
…
The other side.
Lin Su'e went to the vegetable market to buy some meat and vegetables, and did not go to the hot pot restaurant. She walked slowly towards home.
In the past few months, Zhao Chunlan stayed in Pu County because she was preparing for her marriage.
After marriage, she will probably still have to travel around the country to develop markets and open branches.
The countryside is a society based on personal relationships.
Having many relatives means that someone will have a birthday or a wedding every now and then, which requires banquets and gifts.
Fortunately, Lin Su'e had some family background, otherwise she would have gone broke from giving so many gifts.
This is not.
Just got home.
I saw an acquaintance standing at the door of my house.
Lin Su'e was surprised: "Xinyuan, why are you here?"
Wang Xinyuan heard the voice and looked over, his face full of smiles: "Aunt Lin."
"I'm here to invite you to dinner at my home."
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows.
Wang Xinyuan explained excitedly: "Xiuzhi is pregnant, and the 15th is her birthday. Mom said it's a double happiness, so we might as well invite all the relatives and friends to have a meal at home."
"That's a good thing~"
Lin Su'e was overjoyed: "Then I must go."
Wang Xinyuan and Qian Xiuzhi got married in March 1981. It has been three and a half years now, and there is still no news of pregnancy.
Wang Xinyuan and his parents were open-minded and did not urge the birth of the baby; however, Qian Xiuzhi's parents were under a lot of pressure.
She is a matchmaker.
Bringing the two together.
Qian Guisheng and He Dadi were both very grateful to her. The two families were very close, and the Qian family would never forget Lin Su'e when there was a happy event and they would host a banquet.
therefore.
He Dadi also talked to her about this matter several times.
There was no way. The gap between the two families' financial conditions was too big. He Dadi was worried that if they had no children, Wang Xinyuan would change his mind and Qian Xiuzhi would get nothing.
From He Dadi's perspective, this worry is not unreasonable.
Although, Lin Su'e knew that she was overthinking.
He Dadi also wanted to buy Qian Xiuzhi a folk remedy for having a baby, but Lin Su'e finally persuaded her to stop.
In the countryside, the folk remedies for having children are mostly magic water, medicine cooked with snakes, insects, rats and ants...very disgusting.
Most of them are useless.
A few are harmful to the body.
Fortunately, hard work paid off and Qian Xiuzhi finally became pregnant.
This is a great joyous event for both families.
After thinking a lot, she asked, "No. 15, right? At home or somewhere else?"
Wang Xinyuan replied: "At home."
Lin Su'e: "Okay, I understand."
Then, she remembered something: "By the way, have you told your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Wang Xinyuan shook his head: "Not yet."
"I'm on my way to Shuikou Village first, so I thought I'd tell you first."
"Then go quickly."
Lin Su'e urged: "Brother Qian and Sister He have always wanted to have a grandchild. If they knew Xiuzhi was pregnant, they would be so happy~"
Wang Xinyuan nodded heavily: "Okay."
Lin Su'e quickly took a bottle of drink from the coffee table and handed it to him: "By the way, take this peach drink and drink it on the way. Even though it's only morning and the sun is quite strong, don't get a heat stroke."
Wang Xinyuan was not polite: "Thank you, auntie."
Lin Su'e waved her hand: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"Okay, goodbye, auntie."
"Bye-Bye."
…
Flash.
It's the 15th.
Lin Su'e went there alone.
On the way, I met Qian Guisheng and his family.
"Su'e."
"Sister He, what a coincidence~" Lin Su'e was surprised and surprised: "I actually ran into you guys."
He Dadi smiled and said, "You are going to Xiuzhi's place too, right?"
Lin Su'e nodded: "Yes."
He Dadi: "That's great, let's go together."
Lin Su'e had no objection: "Okay~"
He Dadi suggested with a smile: "Put your bicycle on our ox cart and sit on it too."
Lin Su'e simply nodded.
He Dadi ordered her husband: "Guisheng, go help Su'e get the bicycle up."
Qian Guisheng was a quiet person. Hearing this, he got out of the car quickly and walked over to move the bicycle.
Lin Su'e did not refuse and greeted politely: "Thank you, Brother Qian."
The bicycle was quite heavy, so it was quite difficult for her to move it onto the half-meter-high ox cart.
Hearing this, Qian Guisheng smiled friendly and said, "It's okay~"
He was quite strong and easily moved the bicycle onto the ox cart.
Lin Su'e sat next to He Dadi.
He Dadi looked at her son and daughter and said, "Call for help."
Qian Changsheng: "Aunt Su'e."
Qian Xiulian: "Hello, Auntie."
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded: "Good, good, good, Xiulian is getting more and more beautiful, Changsheng's face is also rosy, and his health is getting better and better."
He Dadi smiled from ear to ear: "In the past two years, thanks to Xinyuan's concern for Changsheng, he often sent some supplements to him."
"I went to the doctor a while ago, and the doctor said that his physical condition is now similar to that of other people his age."
"From now on, you don't need to take medicine anymore."
Lin Su'e was happy from the bottom of her heart: "Really? That's a great thing~"
Changsheng is a pitiful child.
I took medicine as meals even though I couldn’t speak yet. I couldn’t do strenuous exercise on weekdays and could only stay at home. I didn’t have any friends of the same age.
He Dadi nodded sincerely: "Yes, I can finally rest assured. As long as the children are all well, Lao Qian and I will be satisfied."
"Changsheng hasn't gone to school yet, right?"
Lin Su'e: "Now that he is well, are you ready to send him to school?"
As soon as these words came out.
Qian Changsheng's eyes sparkled and he looked at He Dadi expectantly.
On the side, Qian Xiu Lian touched her younger brother's head with heartache.
He Dadi looked at him lovingly, smiled and nodded: "She must be sent to school."
"It's July and the school is about to have its summer vacation. I have discussed it with the head of the family and plan to send him to school in the second half of the year."
Qian Guisheng nodded.
After hearing this, Qian Changsheng couldn't help but cheer: "Wow, that's great!"
Because of his long-term illness, he was rather frail and habitually lowered his voice, making him look both pitiful and adorable.
Qian Xiulian also smiled: "When the time comes, Changsheng can go to school with his friends in the village."
Qian Changsheng's eyes became brighter and full of anticipation.
He Dadi watched the interaction between the siblings tenderly, and suddenly thought of something. She leaned close to Lin Su'e's ear and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Now, there is only Xiulian for me to worry about."
Lin Su'e was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
He Dadi pulled her arm, looked at Qian Xiulian, and lowered her voice: "Sister Su'e, my Xiulian is 24 years old. Can you see if there is a suitable young man to introduce to my Xiulian?"
Lin Su'e was surprised.
I glanced at Qian Xiu Lian. She was talking to Qian Changsheng with her head down and didn't notice this side.
Lin Su'e was puzzled, but seeing that He Dadi was being mysterious and didn't want Qian Xiulian to hear, she asked in a hollow voice, "Doesn't Xiulian have a boyfriend?"
He Dadi looked unhappy: "We broke up."
Lin Su'e asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"because……"
At this time.
Qian Xiulian interrupted curiously: "Mom, what are you talking about with Aunt Lin?"
Qian Changsheng echoed: "Yes~"
He Dadi quickly shut up and waved her hand with a slightly stiff expression: "Nothing."
"Ahem, just talking about your second sister~"
"Boss, hurry up, Xiuzhi is still waiting for us, don't let her wait anxiously."
Qian Changsheng: “Oh.”
Qian Xiu Lian didn't think much about it and nodded.
Qian Guisheng remained silent as usual.
Lin Su'e frowned slightly, and He Dadi gave her a look, hinting, "Let's talk about it later."
Lin Su'e nodded.
I thought: This might be Xiulian’s sad story, so it’s normal that I don’t want her to hear it.
On the way.
She began to recall things about Qian Xiu Lian's boyfriend.
Qian Xiu Lian's partner was an educated youth from the village named Zhang Qing, and they fell in love with each other over time.
He failed the college entrance examination when it was resumed in 1977, but he never gave up and took the exam every year, but he failed every time. At the end of 1980, all educated youth were allowed to return home. His parents sent him a letter and he returned to the city.
This is already the latest batch.
He Dadi told her that Zhang Qing was unwilling to return to the city at that time and did not want to be separated from Qian Xiu Lian, but it was Qian Xiu Lian who persuaded him to go back. No matter how valuable a city household registration is, it is more valuable than a rural household registration.
After returning, he and Qian Xiu Lian continued to exchange letters and he kept sending her packages.
Lin Su'e has met people.
The young man is three years older than Qian Xiu Lian and is a down-to-earth and steady person.
When he was an educated youth, he was hardworking and never complained of being tired. After he was with Qian Xiu Lian, he did not take advantage of her. Instead, he tried his best to buy her food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities.
When she heard He Dadi talking about this, she specifically checked the marriage matching value and got 79 points, which was already very high.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem.
Now, she didn’t know what had happened, and it was difficult for her to judge. She could only suppress her random thoughts for the time being.
