After the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yunhai turned two years old on his birthday, and school started. Meng Tao was about to start a different university life.
My current university life is very different from that in my previous life, but school is a place to learn. Other things are not important. Just get used to it.
Meng Tao's score was actually enough to get her into Tsinghua University, but she applied to Peking University. Han Dongdong, Xia Moli, and Yan Baozhi complained about her, saying that she should come to Tsinghua University so that she could become an alumnus of theirs. They could protect her and ensure that she would be comfortably arranged before graduation.
Meng Tao smiled and said that if she didn't want to be their alumnus, she would want to be an alumnus with her husband. Shen Yu graduated from Peking University, so she would also go to Peking University.
The three girls were silent. They were depressed when their enthusiasm was only being fed dog food.
Shen Yu sent his wife to the school to register and arranged for her to live away from home - the child was young and couldn't leave his mother.
In fact, he himself did not agree with his wife living in the school dormitory. It was unreasonable for a couple to live separately while living in the same city.
After completing the admission procedures, they waited for classes to start two days later. The couple walked around the Peking University campus, and Shen Yu introduced the school's history to the new junior sister.
Meng Tao listened carefully and suddenly said, "Hengrui is also from Peking University, and my fourth cousin is a professor at Peking University. She has a house in the school, right? Shouldn't we go and take a look?"
Shen Yu: "She is very busy now and has no time to meet you."
"What are you busy with?"
"Customs just intercepted a batch of important antiques and asked experts to examine them. She also went."
"Wow, fourth cousin is amazing!"
"Don't praise her like that in front of her, she'll think you admire her a lot and then chase you to be her student, locking you up in a small dark room for lectures every day."
"Here we go again, your experience."
"You're talking about, that thing, childhood trauma."
“Hahahaha…”
After the couple came out of school, they saw that it was still early, so they went to the two courtyard houses that Meng Tao had bought. They were filled with various antique furniture and woods purchased from consignment shops and the black market.
Zhu Chunlin and several veteran carpenters would come over after get off work and on weekends to repair the damaged old furniture and restore it to its original state. Some of the new furniture was also drawn and made by Zhu Chunlin under the guidance of Meng Tao based on the styles of later furniture.
The young carpenter is now completely obsessed with restoring antique furniture and innovation, to the point of neglecting sleep and food. Originally, Meng Tao encouraged him to take the college entrance examination, and he was very tempted, but he could not help but devote a lot of energy to woodworking. The two-month cultural review time was too short, and he felt that he had no confidence and gave up, and will take the exam again next year.
Another person waiting to take the college entrance examination next year is Lin Xiaoxue. Shen Yu remembered her wrongly and thought she had graduated from high school, but in fact she only studied to junior high school and failed the first college entrance examination. Ding Hao said that the girl was obsessed and was now studying very hard, and it seemed that she was determined to get into university.
Only with obsession and desire can one break through the shackles. That is better than being controlled and exploited by her mother Ge Hongjiao for a lifetime.
After looking at the furniture, Meng Tao and Shen Yu talked with Zhu Chunlin for a while before going home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw little Yunhai running out cheering to greet his parents. The weather was still cold, and the little guy was wearing a down jacket and looked as round as a little penguin. He was carrying a pink and blue backpack and looked like he was going to kindergarten.
Xiao Yunhai's schoolbag is filled with storybooks and picture books that are read to him every day. When he watches TV or goes out and sees primary school students carrying schoolbags, he knows about going to school. When he hears that his mother is also getting ready to go to school, he gets up early in the morning and asks his grandmother to help him carry his schoolbag, saying that he can accompany his mother to school.
Xiao Wangcai ran closely beside Xiao Yunhai to prevent him from falling.
Meng Tao squatted down and hugged her son, apologized to him guiltily, and explained why his parents didn't take him to school. The mother and son kissed each other cheek to cheek. A jealous man couldn't stand it anymore, and without waiting for her to finish, he took her son away.
Little Yunhai especially likes his father to lift him up high and let him fly. He laughs happily.
Meng Tao, with an empty arms: "..."
A big furry head came over, and Meng Tao hugged Xiao Wangcai, scratched its chin, stroked its ears and forehead, and said thank you for its hard work.
It is not an easy task to play with little Yunhai at home. Little Yunhai, who can walk and run, is very active. He is so fast that you can’t find him in the blink of an eye. Uncle Gao has a wooden ladder, but he dare not leave it outside now, because little Yunhai once climbed up the ladder. I don’t know how he did it, but he climbed to the roof and sat on the ridge, clapping his hands and laughing.
The two-year-old kid managed to climb up the roof and remove the tiles, but he just failed to crawl through the dog hole. That’s because Xiao Wangcai was following him. Xiao Wangcai couldn’t do anything to him when he went up, but he could stop him when he went down.
That time when she went up to the room, Xu Zhen was almost scared to death. She thought she had no sound, so she shouted loudly. Unexpectedly, she actually made a sound, but it was not that sharp and sounded a little hoarse, but there was indeed sound.
The mischief of her grandson served as a stimulus, and Xu Zhen was able to make "ah, oh, uh" sounds in succession from then on.
He couldn't even say a complete sentence. Of course, it wasn't all Xiao Yunhai's credit. The pills that Shen Yu prepared in the space according to the ancient recipe were beginning to show effects.
While Shen Yu was talking to his son, Meng Tao took out two pieces of beef jerky from her bag and gave them to Xiao Wangcai as a snack and also as a reward.
Xu Zhen came out of the room and handed the notebook to Shen Yu to read. It said, "You guys, pack up and follow me back to grandma's house. I'll be back in the evening."
Shen Yu: "Where is Dad?"
I just asked my son, and Xiao Yunhai said, "Grandpa went out in the car."
Xu Zhen wrote: "Your dad got a call and said he was out for something and wouldn't be home for dinner, so we'll go to grandma's house."
Shen Yu: “…”
When he was thirty years old, he got married, had a son, and started a family. However, in the eyes of his young mother, he still belonged to her and was under her care. Not only him, but also his wife and son, would be taken back to his grandmother's house by his stepmother who stuck to her parents' side as long as his father was not at home. This had become a normal thing for her.
Meng Tao was very happy when she heard that they were going to her grandma's house. She told Xiao Wangcai: "You can play with your friends at grandma's house again. Be a gentleman this time and don't fight with girls again."
Then he took Xiao Yunhai back to the house to wash his hands and face, change his clothes, and Shen Yu went to back out the car that had entered the garage.
The family of four and their dog happily went to Xu's house.
At this time, in a cadre guesthouse, the driver Xiao Guo was walking in front carrying two travel bags, Shen Heping was behind, and two young girls around 20 years old were standing on either side of him. The passage on the second floor was a bit narrow, and it was really crowded for three people to walk together. Neither of the two girls was willing to take a step back, and they both hugged Shen Heping's arms tightly.
