Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Update 2
Donating a library is a good thing, but this matter has recently caused some bad effects in Capital University.
After the reform and opening up, the whole country organized many overseas study tours. The reality that China has a large gap with developed countries in terms of economy, technology, etc. has been generally accepted and understood by the Chinese people.
The founding time of the country is short, and it is a country that was rebuilt on a land that has experienced war and is full of scars. Isn’t it normal that there is a gap between us and others? It
doesn’t matter if there is a gap. As long as the Chinese people are united and work hard, the gap will definitely be gradually narrowed. If fifty years are not enough, then one hundred years, if one hundred years are not enough, then two hundred years. One day we will catch up with and surpass those countries.
——This is the idea of most Chinese people nowadays.
Chinese people have always been self-respecting and self-reliant. Even if they fall behind, they will not deny themselves, but face challenges head-on and strive to catch up.
However, there are also a small number of people who have begun to advocate that everything abroad is better than China. Some people even dug up the "famous saying" of Mr. Hu, who was the president of Capital University before the founding of the People's Republic of China: The moon in the United States is rounder than that in China.
This time, the donation of the library seems to have become a proof of "the moon in the United States is rounder than that in China".
Overseas Chinese have been running businesses in the United States for decades, and they can easily donate a library when they come back. How many people in China are still struggling to make ends meet? Let alone donating a library, eating a meal of meat a week is a luxury.
In particular, Lin Yiqing also expressed her admiration for the powerful, democratic and free America that overseas businessmen talked about on many occasions, describing a particularly beautiful America to her classmates, and further heated up the debate on "Which is rounder, at home or abroad?". Public
opinion within Capital University was polarized.
One side supported Lin Yiqing, believing that China had continued the "closed-door" policy of the previous feudal dynasty for the past few decades, causing the country's economy, technology, construction and other aspects to lag far behind developed countries.
The other side strongly opposed Lin Yiqing, believing that there might be a gap between China and foreign countries, but not everything in foreign countries was good either, and hearsay was completely untrustworthy, and one should not belittle oneself because of it.
Some were even extreme, posting big-character posters in schools, demanding the elimination of "bourgeois unhealthy practices" in schools and refusing to build a "free library".
...
The library that Su Jingnian donated with good intentions turned out to be "free".
Shen Moli has been very busy these days, because every time their garment factory launches a new style, similar styles will appear on the market in a few days. She has to keep an eye on the factory's production problems while making up for the missed courses. She almost wishes every minute could be split into two minutes.
By the time she heard about this, the campus bulletin board was already covered with big-character posters saying "Don't eat free food".
Shen Moli was speechless.
In fact, she had seen the big-character posters when she passed by the propaganda column occasionally, but she didn't look carefully and thought it was about economic policies or canteen dishes. It was not until Fu Mingze, who was detained in the laboratory by his tutor for a few days, came out and asked her what was going on that she realized what was going on.
It happened to be Sunday the next day, so Shen Moer and Fu Mingze took their daughter to Yongning Hutong and asked Fu Zhiyuan to help contact Su Jingnian who was investigating in Shenzhen.
Originally, the inspection team would go to Hong Kong after the inspection of Shenzhen, and then return to the United States from Hong Kong.
However, before Su Jingnian left, he also said that he would try to come to the capital again before returning to the United States, and then the family would have a meal and take pictures together. It happened that the inspection in Shenzhen was coming to an end, so Shen Moer discussed with him and asked him to return to the capital as soon as possible. After Shen Moer finished
the call and came out of Fu Zhiyuan's study, she saw her daughter performing "Colorful Clothes to Entertain Parents" in the living room.
Xiao Liangliang was wearing a pink floral cotton jacket today. Her soft hair was tied into two small knots on her head. She had a chubby little face, and when she smiled, there was a faint pear swirl at the corner of her mouth, just like a New Year picture doll.
The New Year picture doll grabbed a handful of candy in her hand, and walked with her wobbly little legs, distributing her favorite candy to the elders one by one.
"Madam, grandma!"
"Grandma!"
"Grandpa!"
"Susu!"
Every elder who was given candy was so happy that his eyes were beaming with joy, as if he had received not a candy but a piece of gold, and he kept praising her. The
little girl could already understand the compliments, and her little face was full of pride. She grabbed a candy and walked it in front of her father, and stretched out her little hand: "Dad, peel it!"
Her father was not treated as being given candy, but was only treated as being assigned a task.
Fu Mingze glared at the girl with a cold face: "Dad won't peel it."
Before Xiao Liangliang could say anything, the elder who had just been bribed by the little girl with candy was not happy.
"Mingze, how old are you? Why are you still angry with your daughter?"
"Hey, kid, why are you frowning? What if you scare the child? Hurry up and smile at the child!"
"It's just peeling a candy. Come on, Uncle Liangliang will peel it for you."
...
But is little Liangliang afraid of her biological father?
The answer is that it is impossible for her to be afraid!
Fu Mingze always has a cold face. The little girl is worthy of being his biological daughter. Facing a face with almost no expression change, she can accurately tell when her biological father is dangerous and when he is safe.
When she feels something is wrong, she will turn her head and dive into her grandfather's arms.
When she felt okay, she would stare at her father with her big round eyes and "argue" with him.
Just like now.
The little girl stared at her father, pouted her lips, and shouted: "Daddy, peel!"
Without waiting for Fu Mingze to say anything else, she rolled her round eyes, turned around and twisted her little butt, and took another candy from the fruit plate on the coffee table, staggered in front of Fu Mingze and said: "Here."
With a little expression of "You just want candy, I'll give it to you, right?"
Shen Moer leaned against the door and watched, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Others in the room couldn't help laughing. The old lady slapped her thighs and almost cried: "Hey, look, our little Liangliang is still magnanimous and doesn't bother with her father."
Fu Mingze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He touched the little girl's soft hair and helplessly stuffed the candy without the candy wrapper into her daughter's mouth: "You can only eat one."
The boy was so happy when he ate the delicious candy that he threw himself into his father's arms and kissed him on the cheek. His milky saliva immediately covered half of Fu Mingze's face.
Fu Mingze: "..."
The others couldn't stop laughing.
This is really a leaky little cotton-padded jacket.

Three days later, Capital University suddenly notified all departments to suspend all classes in the afternoon and hold a school-wide assembly.
"What's going on? Why did they suddenly notify the school-wide assembly? Is it because the school can't stand the recent debate about whether the moon is round or not?" Yuan Lan said while eating.
Shen Moer shared some of the braised pork in the enamel pot with Wu Yanan and Wang Sanchun, and then said, "You'll know in the afternoon."
In fact, she knew what was going on, but it was a bit troublesome to explain it to Yuan Lan and the others now, so it would be better for them to listen to it themselves in the afternoon and understand what was going on.
Wang Sanchun was a little absent-minded. Usually, when Shen Moer shared her own dishes with her, she would refuse out loud, but this time she said nothing and buried her head in silence to eat.
Wu Yanan was a little familiar with Shen Moer, and knew that Shen Moer's family was well-off, and that what she said about not liking to eat too much meat in one meal was true, so she didn't bother to be polite with Shen Moer, and she took the meat and ate it happily, and even joked to herself: "I feel that since I went to college and was able to eat meat, I have gained a lot of weight."
Shen Moer smiled and said: "Fortunately, you helped me share, otherwise I would have gained ten times more weight."
Wu Yanan immediately smiled embarrassedly.
Shen Moer glanced at Wang Sanchun, and then looked at Yuan Lan. Yuan Lan silently said two words "home", and Shen Moer nodded to show that she understood, and changed the subject: "How are you reviewing?"
Yuan Lan: "..."
She would rather continue to discuss the afternoon meeting.
Wu Yanan answered honestly, "It's OK. I just started reviewing. It's still early. I'll just take a look. But Lin Yiqing seems to be working particularly hard recently."
She suddenly looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "I once heard her telling someone next to the bushes downstairs that she was going to study abroad in the United States."
Yuan Lan immediately looked sneaky and asked in a low voice, "Is she trying to get a place for the department's government-sponsored overseas students?" The department
started sending overseas students last year, but the number of students was not large. It is said that there will be more places this year. The news has spread throughout the department, but the school has not officially notified them.
I heard that a junior student won a place to study abroad last year, so theoretically, they also have a great chance this year.
Wu Yanan said softly: "It seems so, but she also said that even if she can't get a place to study abroad at government expense, she will go to study abroad at her own expense. She also mentioned Mr. Su who donated a library to our school, and said that Mr. Su promised to help find someone to write a letter of recommendation for her."
Yuan Lan also said softly: "Do you think this Mr. Su has taken some kind of love potion from Lin Yiqing, and he is looking for someone to help write a letter of recommendation for her, and he also donated a library to our school."
After a pause, she lowered her voice even more: "It's not that my thoughts are impure, ha , could it be that this Mr. Su has taken a fancy to Lin Yiqing?"
Shen Moer choked on her food and started coughing violently. It took her a long time to recover. She couldn't help but say, "Don't guess. Mr. Su is old enough to be Lin Yiqing's father. Besides, he has already started a family in America and has a wife
and children." Su Jingnian had told her that he and his wife met in Taiwan Province, and later they went to America together, settled down there, and had three children. The eldest son was about the same age as Shen Moer.
Yuan Lan muttered, "How do you know?" Then she thought that Shen Moer was also in the reception team for the inspection group, and thought that she had heard it from others during the inspection group, so she made a gesture to shut up: "Just pretend you didn't hear it, I just had a sudden thought."
Of course, when the whole school meeting was held in the afternoon, Yuan Lan realized that Shen Moer had not heard it from others during the inspection group, but it was Mr. Su who told her himself.
Also, Mr. Su was not interested in Lin Yiqing at all, Mr. Su's affairs had nothing to do with Lin Yiqing!
Lin Yiqing was just daydreaming and having wild ideas!
