Chapter 146
Lin Hui's idea of transferring her son to another school came to her suddenly.
Although Kong Fei has been studying hard since entering high school, his grades are still above average.
Since the division of liberal arts and science, Kong Fei's class teacher has explained the children's academic performance levels to parents at parent-teacher meetings.
The top 50 students in the grade will be able to enter key universities in the future, while the bottom 100 or so students may be admitted to either the first or second tier universities.
The next ones are three-year colleges and junior colleges.
Kong Fei ranked 128th in his grade.
This result is neither good nor bad.
If it were a few years ago, Lin Hui would have been satisfied.
With this score, and given his status as a sports student, the child can go to a good school.
But now, Lin Hui has a different opinion.
She had a deep conversation with Kong Fei and learned that Kong Fei wanted to enter university as an ordinary student.
She suddenly thought more.
She glanced meaningfully at her son who had grown taller.
"Which university do you want to go to?"
Kong Fei: "I want to apply to a university in the capital."
Lin Hui recalled Wang Mengmei's envious expression that she also wanted to buy a suite in the capital for Jian Li.
"She said every day that she would apply to a university in the capital, and then I would buy her a house to make her life more convenient."
Lin Hui did not expose her son's thoughts.
She thought about it and decided to give her son a push: "We have a house in the capital, but you can't take the college entrance examination there because there are requirements for your academic status. Your household registration is still in your hometown... Otherwise, I can transfer you to a school in the provincial capital of your hometown."
Nowadays, the college entrance examination is not strictly managed except in big cities. For people like me who own properties everywhere, no one cares much whether I go back to my hometown to take the exam or take it here.
But the score line in Lin Hui's hometown is lower than that in Taocheng.
Lin Hui originally planned to transfer Kong Fei’s household registration to Taocheng during the summer vacation of her second year of high school.
Now Kong Fei suddenly said that he wanted to use his academic scores to take the college entrance examination. Lin Hui felt that it would be better to return to her hometown instead of taking the college entrance examination in Taocheng.
Kong Fei has grown up. If Lin Hui was worried about her son before, she no longer has such thoughts.
In the past two years, Kong Fei has taken care of himself and his younger brother. When grandma comes to visit, Kong Fei will take her out for dinner and buy clothes for her from time to time.
Lin Hui is very proud of her son, and of course she hopes that he can achieve his wish one day.
"Mom knows what you're thinking, so you don't have to rush to reject me. You're still young now, and sometimes you act on impulse and don't think far enough, which is actually not good for anyone. It's a good thing for you to go home and study this year. If you think clearly, you will face life with a better attitude in the future. What do you think?"
Kong Fei thought about it for two nights and finally found Lin Hui.
He agreed to transfer.
Lin Hui took the time to look for a school and finally found the best high school for Kong Fei in the provincial capital of her hometown.
Before Kong Feilin left, the lights in the room were on for several nights, and he took out a box the next day.
"Mom, please go back and give this to Jian Li."
Lin Hui looked at her son and said, "You can send it yourself."
These days, Kong Fei still goes to school every day, and Jian Li's class is on the floor above him.
Kong Fei was silent for a while: "Forget it."
He always felt inferior to Jian Li, and was often afraid.
Lin Hui took the box and asked, "Can I see it?"
Kong Fei's face turned red: "Look."
Lin Hui opened the box and saw a small pendant inside which was made of various small prisms glued together.
Crossed with each other, it looks ordinary.
Kong Fei placed the ornament in front of the glass.
Lin Hui's breathing paused for a moment.
The prism refracts sunlight and produces small rainbow-colored spots. As the lens moves, the spots also move. If it is morning, the rainbow will fill the entire room.
Lin Hui: "Why did you think of giving this as a gift?"
Kong Fei lowered his head: "I just remembered it by chance."
Actually, it’s not like that, but he always has this feeling when he sees Jian Li.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there were such wonderful people in the world.
"Okay, Mom will give it to her."
Kong Fei tensed up for a moment: "Don't say it."
"……good."
"Don't send it right away."
"Then I'll wait until her birthday to give it to her."
…
Kong Fei left quietly, and Wang Mengmei complained to Lin Hui.
"You are too anxious. Why don't you ask me to have a meal with you?"
In the future, when the children go to college and live in different places, it is unknown when they will see each other again. Wang Mengmei has a very good impression of Kong Fei. Except that she thinks this child is a little introverted and doesn't like to come to the restaurant to eat, he is a good child overall.
"I feel heartbroken when I think about sending my child to a boarding school so far away."
Lin Hui said calmly, "Boys should be like this. I've told him that school is also a way for him to develop independent living skills, such as washing clothes and folding quilts. He will have to do these housework after he gets married. Look at your Jian Feng and Lao Kong. Men who love their wives will not have bad luck."
Wang Mengmei's emphasis was off: "Old Kong went back to his hometown. Do you know how he is doing?"
Jian Feng was also worried, but he couldn't ask. After buying the store from Kong Guorong, asking these questions would feel like making fun of him.
Lin Hui: “…That’s it.”
At this age, what bad words can't I tolerate? Kong Guorong has settled down after returning to his hometown. He now runs a small business in the town. As long as he can withstand the scrutiny of others, he will be able to make a living.
However, Kong Guorong's mother, Lin Hui's ex-mother-in-law, who had cursed Lin Hui during the divorce, called her frequently during that period, and she kept trying to use sympathy to get Lin Hui to remarry her son.
"You have been together for so many years and have two children. At his age, can you bear to see him live such a miserable life?"
Lin Hui was not soft-hearted either. She directly replied on the phone: "What kind of hell is this? He is not in debt now, and he lives like an ordinary person when he returns to his hometown. If you insist on saying this is a hell of a life, then what kind of life do people in the world live? Your son got out of this situation in the first place. If you feel sorry for him, take good care of him and help him get out of this situation. I divorced him, and I didn't get a penny from him. Why should I pay for him?"
Kong Guorong's mother tried to persuade him earnestly, and Lin Hui's attitude was very clear.
She just won't remarry!
She has had enough of the past life, and now she doesn't even consider remarriage!
This time when Kong Fei went back to school, Lin Hui told her brother and sister-in-law, asking them to go to the city to see Kong Fei if they had nothing to do, but not to tell anyone else.
She bought a house in the city, and she will go back to the city to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year.
As for her hometown, she has no plans to go back.
Lin Hui: "It's really boring to go back to my hometown."
After doing it once, Lin Hui no longer had any interest in returning home for a glorious trip.
Going home would just mean seeing a bunch of hypocritical faces. She has her mother by her side now, and her brother and sister-in-law can see her if they want to. As for other relatives in her hometown, there is no need for her to give up her interests just to get a few nice words from them.
Wang Mengmei felt like she had found a soulmate: “That’s absolutely right!”
When she went back at the beginning of the year, she thought she could withstand all the moral blackmail from outsiders, but she ignored her mother, Zhao Chunlan!
Zhao Chunlan had a hard life in the early years, but now her two daughters have finally done well and she has become famous in the village.
Less than two months later, Zhao Chunlan called and asked Wang Mengmei if she still remembered the son of her uncle's cousin's sister-in-law.
Wang Mengmei remembers nothing!
There's no way she could remember this complicated relationship!
Zhao Chunlan: "Oh my, how could you not remember? When you had your wedding banquet that year, your uncle brought the child here, and you even held the child in your arms."
Wang Mengmei actually had some impression of him, but it was a bad impression.
Her uncle has been acting as an old uncle for so many years, but he has done nothing serious. When they and their siblings were still young, her uncle would roll his eyes at them every day.
Her sister-in-law was always in a weird mood: "Chunlan, don't take all the children with you when you go out. It's only because your brother and I don't mind. Otherwise, if you bring a bunch of children with you, people will think you are rich."
Because of this background, Wang Mengmei has no close relationship with her uncle's family.
But when she got married, her uncle usually sat at the head table.
You have to invite me.
Wang Mengmei still remembers that at that time her uncle not only brought his wife and children, but also several people from his wife's family.
After we arrived, we put in a gift list and sat down with seven or eight people.
The question is, someone happened to be visiting, so I just brought it over.
Wang Mengmei is now furious whenever she thinks about it. Her uncle complained about the discarded dishes during the banquet and got drunk early, causing no one at the table to eat properly. Wang Mengmei did not toast him, and he used this as "evidence" of Wang Mengmei's guilt every time they met later.
Zhao Chunlan tried to argue: "You really didn't toast him. He's an old uncle, and he only drank with you once in his life. It's normal for him to be angry when he didn't even get to drink."
Wang Mengmei: "…I didn't toast him. He was already drunk and passed out. How could I toast him when he was lying under the table? I would just pour the wine on the floor!"
Zhao Chunlan: "You kid, you are already grown up, why are you still holding a grudge... Your uncle didn't do it on purpose. Besides, you don't care if he is drunk or not, he is your uncle, and you are wrong if you don't toast him. But your uncle also said that as long as you arrange for that kid to work in your store, this matter will be over, and he won't bother with you. Did you hear that? If a kid of 18 or 19 comes to your store, you should teach him a lesson..."
Wang Mengmei was speechless and finally said this.
"Are you done? I won't hang up after I finish. Anyway."
Zhao Chunlan kept saying "ouch, ouch" and that she was disobedient, but after a few days of peace and quiet, she came back to introduce it again without getting tired of it.
The Zhang family lent me a friend when they were young, and the Li family gave me Tao when they were young. After all, they always wanted to help.
Wang Mengmei regretted it.
"I'm not going to do that again this year."
