Chapter 84 Counterattack



Cheng Rushan sent Jiang Lin to school. He parked the jeep downstairs of the administrative building and then walked to the classroom with Jiang Lin.

Along the way, I saw a lot of big Z newspapers posted on bulletin boards, big trees and even walls, and many people gathered there pointing and talking.

When passing by a large Z newspaper, Cheng Rushan glanced at it and saw the words "The battle between two campus beauties will immediately determine their character". He frowned slightly, but did not lose his temper on the spot.

Soon, several students from the Department of Architecture rushed over, tore off the big Z newspaper, and pasted a new one.

A male student shouted: "Some people should not go too far and bully others too much. Do you think that we, the flowers of architecture, have no one to protect us? So you can just let you bully us like this?"

"That's right, she stepped on our classmate to get to the top, and now she is slandering her as not as good as her. How shameless!"

"Yesterday afternoon, she almost pushed Jiang Lin down the stairs. She is so vicious, and she has no right to criticize others!"

"What's going on?" the students asked.

When Cheng Rushan heard that sentence, he almost pushed her down the stairs. His body suddenly tensed up and he turned to look at Jiang Lin with a probing look.

Jiang Lin quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I just bumped into him because I was walking too fast. My classmates exaggerated a little to seize the initiative. I was really touched. I didn't expect so many people to defend me."

Since Jiang Ling is like this, don't blame her for being rude. Do you think she won't be angry or fight back?

Engage in a war of words? Post a big Z newspaper?

Does Jiang Ling not know the relationship between herself and the School of Literature?

Although Zeng Hongjie is not here during this period, his friends from the school newspaper are here. They are all talented writers. Will they give up when it comes to writing articles?

She didn't want to make Cheng Rushan worry, and she didn't want him to interfere, because he was a military cadre. If he interfered, no matter what he did, it would be misinterpreted as bullying, and it would give others a handle to affect his work.

Cheng Rushan looked at her, "Linlin, you know I'm not afraid of anything."

There is nothing he is afraid of, only what he doesn't do.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Of course I know. Well, it has been delivered, you can go back to work."

She looked around and saw that everyone's attention was attracted by the big Z newspaper, and not many people were attracted by her, the real protagonist. So she took Cheng Rushan's hand and shook it, acting coquettishly with him, asking him not to be angry and to go back to work.

Cheng Rushan lowered his eyes to look at her, smiled, opened his arms and hugged her in his arms, "I really am..." There is nothing I can do about you, I don't want her to suffer any injustice.

Jiang Lin told him to go back to work, waved to him and watched him leave.

He was wearing a military uniform with a military green woolen coat on the outside. His tall and straight back was particularly eye-catching in the thin scenery of early spring.

The classmates had noticed them a long time ago. Whenever they appeared together, people felt that there was a sweet atmosphere around them. But no one would go up to spoil Captain Cheng's fun when he was with his wife.

After all, we have known each other for a year. We have attended many dances, seen Captain Cheng accompany his wife many times, and experienced Captain Cheng's powerful aura and cold eyes many times.

If he is unhappy, with a stern face and silent words, just staring at you with a pair of dark and bottomless eyes, it is enough to make you feel flustered.

They had long known Cheng Rushan's temper, so of course they didn't dare to disturb him.

Now that he was gone, they ran over to find Jiang Lin, "Jiang Lin, this time their art class went too far, we have to fight back."

Jiang Lin thanked them first, "Thank you classmates for protecting me."

"This is not just about you, this is the honor of all of us. The people we elected were humiliated by them like this, do we still have the face to do this?"

The students were filled with righteous indignation and decided to confront Jiang Ling's supporters.

Yesterday, Lu Hang went to the art class and made a scene, humiliating the class beauty Jiang Ling on the spot, arrogantly threatening the whole class not to draw Jiang Lin and the other two casually, and finally walked away like a gangster, making enough noise that the news spread to all the major departments and classes of the provincial university almost the same day.

When school was over that evening, Jiang Ling took the big Z newspaper to the architecture class to make a scene, and challenged Jiang Lin on the spot, pushing this school beauty incident to yet another climax.

At that time, everyone thought that she was just angry, or she was playing the role of a weak person and accusing Jiang Lin.

As a result, when we were having lunch, there were several big Z newspapers posted at the entrance of the cafeteria, accusing Jiang Lin of being a school bully, being narrow-minded, and bullying other junior schoolmates. They attacked Jiang Lin for being a senior and the flower of architecture, but being aggressive towards a junior schoolmate, saying that she had no grace and brought disgrace to the Department of Architecture. She was simply a disgrace to the Department of Architecture and was not worthy of being the school flower due to her bad behavior.

Everyone came back to their senses. It turned out that Jiang Ling had a big appetite. She was not pretending to be weak, she was going to provoke a fight!

The ambush is set!

While stepping on Jiang Lin to get to the top, he once again trampled on Jiang Lin's character. This is likely to make the masses who do not know the truth hate Jiang Lin and think that she is bullying others by taking advantage of her power. After all, many people like to judge others' character based on hearsay.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated.

Not only does she have admirers and supporters, Jiang Lin, as the first generation of undergraduate students at the provincial university after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, has excellent academic performance, great looks, and an open personality, and is very popular at the provincial university.

The classmates felt that they were being treated as fools, and attacking Jiang Lin was also attacking them, so they had to fight back.

How Jiang Ling became the most beautiful girl in the school in such a short time, outsiders don't know, they just think it's fate, a good story. But Jiang Ling's classmates know how this "good story" came about, how they created public opinion and set the pace, and then they would step on it anytime and anywhere.

What? Jiang Lin is an expired yellow-faced school belle. She is pregnant and no longer qualified to be a school belle. And the new school belle Jiang Ling is young and tender, and most importantly, she is unmarried!

Being unmarried means that other men have more opportunities and can pursue you openly.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Jiang Ling to gather a group of young people who were full of vigor and pursuing beauty in the shortest possible time.

Some people contacted the female classmates in Jiang Ling's class to find out the situation, especially those who had long disliked her. They spontaneously organized to post a big Z newspaper to expose Jiang Ling's misdeeds and support the Flower of Architecture.

So, all the information about how Jiang Ling created the public opinion about being the school beauty, how she slandered Jiang Lin, how she got to the top, etc. were posted everywhere. Also, there were also reports about how Jiang Ling maliciously pushed Jiang Lin yesterday, how she deliberately challenged Jiang Lin to discredit her character, and how she manipulated the Da Z newspaper afterwards, etc. All of them were dug out and posted everywhere, and more and more people learned the truth.

Jiang Lin thought that this would be all that was needed, since everyone knew the truth and Jiang Ling wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

As a result, Zeng Hongjie came back from outside and after hearing about this incident, she ignored everything else and went to attend the library party after school in the afternoon.

Participants: Jiang Lin, Zeng Hongjie, Su Xingyun, Sun Qinghui, Lu Hang, Guo Yanqiu, and seven or eight other people. Jiang Xinglei, Jiang Min and others had also been here before, but Jiang Lin later felt that the matter had been resolved and asked them not to come, as it was inconvenient after all.

Jiang Lin: "The matter has been resolved. This is the last meeting today. From now on, everyone should concentrate on studying."

Su Xingyun: "That won't work. If she wants to step on it, she can step on it. If she can't step on it, she can just move back. How can it be so easy?"

Lu Hang: "We are selecting the most prestigious campus belle in the province, so kick her out. How can she be called a campus belle if she has no personality or style and just imitates others? She doesn't deserve it!"

Guo Yanqiu glared at him and said, "Don't make trouble."

Lu Hang was anxious: "How can I say that I am causing trouble? This is the most effective way."

Jiang Lin wondered: "You can also speak idioms?" His speaking skills have improved today. Could it be that being with Dr. Guo has neutralized their IQs?

Lu Hang chuckled and didn't tell them that he went to ask Brother Cheng for advice. Brother Cheng said that whoever controls the propaganda mouthpiece will win, and if there is no victory, create it.

The provincial university newspaper is in their hands, so what else can't they do? Since they are talking about school beauties, they can use authoritative school newspapers to select "Provincial University School Beauties" and "Provincial University Celebrities". The criteria cannot just be based on looks, but should be based on grades, appearance, and abilities. Without Jiang Ling's name, she won't be angry to death, and see if she can still fool people with the title of school beauties.

Su Xingyun and Sun Qinghui clapped their hands and cheered, "This is a good idea, what do you think, Zeng Hongjie?"

Zeng Hongjie came back from the train, feeling a little tired. She leaned against Jiang Lin and said with a smile, "What a good idea! While suppressing the enemy, we should also elevate ourselves, so that we can achieve greater results and leave her far behind."

Lu Hang slammed the table and said, "Yes, that's what I said!"

Guo Yanqiu looked at him with a half-smile, feeling that this boy seemed to have suddenly become wiser. He looked bright and although he still looked a little silly, the more he looked at him, the cuter he became.

Zeng Hongjie was inspired by Lu Hang and immediately thought of several aspects. "The flower of provincial university construction has been concerned about the members since the day she went to the countryside. She wants to be a firm proletarian model worker, take root in the vast rural world and make achievements. After five or six years of hard work, she finally led the whole brigade..."

Jiang Lin was sweating when she heard this. "Xiao Jie, please stop talking. I'm sweating profusely."

It's really shameful. How can such a high-sounding word be used to describe a low-key person like me?

What's more, what model worker!!!

The original owner avoided labor when he went to the countryside and hadn't worked for five or six years.

Zeng Hongjie interpreted it as the gap between her ideal and reality causing her endless pain. She grew up and matured in the pain, and finally emerged as a butterfly and found her direction of development...

It's not just about the things that happened in Shuihuai Village, but also about the things that happened in the provincial university, such as organizing social gatherings for classmates to provide them with spiritual food, so that they can entertain themselves while studying and leave behind good memories, participating in knowledge competitions, helping to develop new building materials and design teaching buildings, making suggestions for family planning to protect many mothers and babies, preparing for the protection of ancient buildings, and so on.

They listed the events that Jiang Lin participated in one by one.

They even boasted about Jiang Lin's happy family life. She respected her parents-in-law and never got angry with them. She loved her more than her own daughter. She educated her children and gave them writing talent at a young age. She published children's stories in newspapers and xx magazines. In addition, Wensheng's troupe was all contributed by Jiang Lin. She supported Wensheng's drama studies, encouraged him, and enlightened him. Therefore, she was also very popular in the field of literature and art...

Jiang Lin: “!!!”

Are you really talking about me? Are you sure you want to flatter me like this?

"You guys are exaggerating too much. I'm not that good. If people start to take it seriously, I won't be able to stand it."

Zeng Hongjie looked at her in surprise. "We are just writing your facts. What's wrong with that? I didn't ask you to pretend to be a scientist or a singing and dancing queen. What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Lin: “…”

Well, whatever you say goes, the pen is in your hand.

Zeng Hongjie put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "I am as obsessed with you as Captain Cheng is. I will definitely write about you with sincerity and truthfulness, without any falsehood."

Zeng Hongjie and others have amazing work efficiency. After they agree on a topic, they do some research and start writing.

The first issue of the "Provincial University Campus Beauty Series" is themed "Architecture Beauty". In the second and third issues, Jiang Ling will not appear anyway, and she will definitely not be the Beauty of the Academy of Fine Arts. The reason is that she has no personality and characteristics of her own, and her grades are not good enough!

The school newspaper used up an entire issue of its pages to introduce the flower of provincial university architecture. In addition to what Zeng Hongjie and others wrote themselves, there were also contributions from other classmates, and even poems written to her by her admirers. Zeng Hongjie also had the ingenuity to publish several small works by Dabao and Xiaobao.

They were well-known in the province. They were twins, beautiful, smart, humorous, and good at dancing. Whenever they attended a dance, many people would go to see them. Now that they showed off their talents, they immediately attracted waves of praise. Some people even came to Jiang Lin to express their envy for her having two such outstanding sons.

When a kid compared it to Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling’s talent was nothing. It was nothing at all.

Because of the publicity in the school newspaper, many people knew that Jiang Lin and her colleagues had given suggestions to the Municipal Party Committee Office. A mother who benefited from the suggestions and saved her child even thanked her specially.

Jiang Lin originally wanted to get into college, get a good job, and live a happy life. But now, with Zeng Hongjie and others pushing her forward, she felt embarrassed to slack off. If she didn't make progress, how could she live up to everyone's praise?

Jiang Lin felt a little embarrassed when the school newspaper came out so seriously, but Jiang Ling was stunned.

She originally thought that accusing Jiang Lin would make her classmates sympathize with her, which would increase her fame, but Jiang Lin became notorious. She never thought that her slander of Jiang Lin's character would result in her being accused of being vicious, stepping on others to get promoted, scheming, and a socialite, etc. She received so many negative comments that even her supporters decreased significantly.

Not only that, some of the additional benefits she gained as a school belle began to fade. In the past, people would let her participate in some activities, associations, and exhibitions just because she was a school belle and a beautiful painter, but now when they heard that she was restless and was stepping on others to get to the top, their impression of her changed and they refused to let her participate.

Soon, Jiang Ling went from being the most beautiful girl in the school to a vicious little black flower, becoming the topic of conversation among classmates. When she went to the cafeteria to eat, people would stare at her and say with disdain, "Tsk, who am I, just like me!" Her female classmates also excluded her and didn't include her in anything. She used to look down on them, but now they don't include her, "She's good at provoking boys, can't she just do everything with them?"

After a while, Jiang Ling felt like she was going crazy. She couldn't lose everything she had worked so hard for like this, she had to find a way to get it back.

At noon that day, she rode her bicycle to the old city, where the alleys were winding and the houses were lined up. She came to a house, knocked, and waited for a while for someone to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Ling started crying, "Sister Yiyi, please help me."

The person who came to open the door was Meng Yiyi. She was much thinner than before, the baby fat on her face had completely disappeared, her temperament was gloomy, and her eyes were somewhat cold.

Her voice was originally gentle and sweet, but now it also had a cold and stern feeling, "How many times have I told you not to act on your own and make stupid mistakes!"

"She is going too far. We are all school beauties. Why does she let Lu Hang humiliate me?" Jiang Ling was furious, but still couldn't swallow that anger.

"You are so stupid, and you still dream of becoming a nationally famous beautiful painter in ten years? You're so stupid that you can post a big Z newspaper. The article is over, and the four-member group has fallen. Who are you posting this for? Do you think your death is too slow?"

"I... I'm just so angry and want to ruin her reputation..." Jiang Ling was brainwashed by Meng Yiyi so much that she felt that she should step on Jiang Lin and that she was better than Jiang Lin.

"I think you should just go back and be a plaything for the old man!"

"No, no, Sister Yiyi, please don't ignore me. Ask my brother to help me. I will be obedient and never act on my own again." Jiang Ling was anxious. If she was abandoned, she would have no choice but to go back to the poor and backward mountain village and never get out in her lifetime.

She didn't want to go back to that place full of sin, darkness and humiliation. No matter what the cost, she wanted to stay in this glamorous world.

Meng Yiyi glanced at her with disgust. "You look a bit like her, and you can quickly become famous by using the title of school beauty. After becoming famous, you should study hard and practice your painting skills to make your ability match your fame. This way, you will not be a flash in the pan and have more capital to enter a higher circle. Now..."

"Sister Yiyi, please teach me. I will never, ever dare to move again." She begged.

Meng Yiyi sat on the stool without saying anything. Jiang Ling's biggest problem was that she had no patience at all. Because she had been miserable when she was a child and had very low self-esteem, she finally climbed out and became a college student, but she became arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Now I know how serious it is to fall down.

Even if you know you have the first-mover advantage, you may not necessarily win, let alone those who have no patience?

Ever since Meng Yiyi was sent to prison by Cheng Rushan and Jiang Lin, she has understood one thing: the most important thing in life is patience.

She shouldn't have jumped out so hastily to target Jiang Lin, she shouldn't have been so impatient to seize Cheng Rushan. She shouldn't have... She made a lot of mistakes. Although she was in pain in prison, it was also an opportunity, giving her the opportunity to calm down and think about how she should move forward.

In order to get Bian Haitao to rescue her, she told him the truth, but she didn't dare to say that she was reborn. She was afraid that Bian Haitao would have other bad ideas, so to avoid trouble, she changed her words and said that she could see the future direction and part of the future of people close to her, but this future would change due to different choices.

Her decision was right. For Bian Haitao, being able to change the future was easier to accept than having died once in reality.

All the major events she predicted happened, so Bian Haitao accepted this explanation and believed it firmly.

At the beginning of last year, he finally agreed to get her out of prison and let her live in this courtyard, so that she could concentrate on studying and researching future trends.

She also knew that she could only rely on Bian Haitao. Apart from him, no one would believe her. Even if she demonstrated her abilities, there was no guarantee that the other party would not imprison her and use her for his own purposes.

She was lost in her own thoughts, but Jiang Ling became anxious, fearing that Meng Yiyi would give up on her.

She knelt on the ground anxiously, hugging Meng Yiyi's legs, "Sister Yiyi, I will listen to you from now on. Please."

Meng Yiyi looked down at Jiang Ling kneeling at her feet, feeling a twisted sense of satisfaction in her heart. After looking at her for a while, she said, "From now on, don't compete with her, and don't emphasize that you are a school beauty. You need to wash off your makeup, concentrate on painting, improve your painting skills in the shortest possible time, and wait for the right opportunity to make a splash."

Jiang Ling nodded repeatedly, "Sister Yiyi, I'll listen to you."

"Remember, if you mess up again," Meng Yiyi gritted her teeth, "I can have someone take you out, or I can throw you back into the mud!"

In her previous life, Jiang Aidi applied for a technical secondary school but failed. She was later tricked by her brother into going to the provincial capital to engage in the flesh trade, and it was Lu Hang who rescued her. In this life, Meng Yiyi asked Bian Haitao to find a way to get her out of her hometown and find someone to train her so that she could be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and by the way, she changed Jiang Aidi's name to Jiang Ling because her face was somewhat similar to Jiang Lin.

She pinched Jiang Ling's arm hard, and Jiang Ling started crying immediately because of the pain.

"The pain will remind you not to make mistakes and not to fall back into the mud again!"

"I know, I know." Jiang Ling covered her face and sobbed.

"Just cry like that, be a good boy, and get rid of your previous arrogant and domineering school beauty temper."

She used to be arrogant, but now she is humble, gentle and quiet. There will always be people who notice her changes and differences, sympathize with her, and pay attention to her again.

Life has its ups and downs and only when she makes a splash again will she have the experience of being talked about.

"Don't think about those things. Just study hard and make sure you are in the top 15 in the final exam. As for this battle for the school beauty, it's no big deal. The school didn't get involved. It was obviously just a minor fight between students. Even if you stepped on someone to get to the top, it was because of the male classmates. There is no evidence to prove that you harmed her. No harm was done. No one will hold you accountable for this."

Although Meng Yiyi was not studying at the provincial university, she knew all about those things as someone had told her about them a long time ago.

After receiving the guidance, Jiang Ling felt much calmer and she rode her bike back to school.

When she was riding her bike past the playground, she happened to see Jiang Lin and Zeng Hongjie walking and chatting there. They were two beautiful women, so pretty that even women could not help but feel yearning for them.

She glared at them hatefully, feeling like bugs were gnawing at her heart.

Jiang Lin and Zeng Hongjie noticed the strange gaze and turned their heads to look, only to see Jiang Ling standing outside the playground looking at them.

In the past, when Jiang Ling spied on someone, she was always far away, or pretended to pass by him by chance. Because she didn't stop, the other party wouldn't pay much attention. This time, the distance was closer, and she was looking at him so directly, so Jiang Lin immediately felt it.

Jiang Ling originally wanted to go over and loudly apologize to Jiang Lin, so as to win the sympathy of passers-by and let everyone see her weakness. But she remembered Meng Yiyi's cold eyes and immediately stopped moving.

She couldn't offend Meng Yiyi again, otherwise she would be in trouble.

She turned around, got on her bike and sped away.

Office of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region.

In the new era, the government shifted its focus to economic development and made reasonable adjustments to the military, so everyone from top to bottom was busy holding meetings.

Whenever there is change, some people rise and some fall.

Some people's future ends here, while others' future has just begun.

The newly established Discipline Inspection Committee was praised and highly valued by the leadership. At the same time, instructions were issued requiring the discipline inspection departments of the military, government, public security, procuratorate and court to cooperate and supervise each other, to establish cooperative departments, and for all parties to send capable people to participate in the work.

Originally, these were all opportunities for Bian Haitao, but now because of Cheng Rushan's arrival, almost all the opportunities he was optimistic about were "snatched" away by Cheng Rushan, which couldn't be more infuriating.

Bian Haitao even thought that maybe his future in the military was over? Or should he listen to Meng Yiyi and resolutely quit the military to seek a way out in the government, public security, procuratorate or court?

With his current position and achievements, he can get a very good job in the Provincial Public Security Department.

Meng Yiyi told him that the future is an era of economic development. Decades of peace have made the army just a security guarantee, a strong background, and a deterrent, without the need to attack. Without war, the opportunities for soldiers are training, exercises, disaster relief, etc. If they want to upgrade, they can only wait step by step.

Originally he wanted to get promoted through Fang Chengxia, but he didn't know... Commander Fang himself was no longer able to do it.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes drifting towards Cheng Rushan uncontrollably. He had never thought that this man would have such a deep entanglement with him. He didn't change his future, but he was beaten to death by Cheng Rushan! Damn it!

Although this will never happen again, he still can't avoid hatred and jealousy.

A person who doesn't know the future or destiny can become jealous and hate someone just based on his current emotions, not to mention that he and Cheng Rushan have so many entanglements and grudges.

Therefore, he simply couldn't let go, couldn't let go, and was in torment all the time. He wished a rock would fall from the sky and crush Cheng Rushan to death.

Cheng Rushan was sitting there. He had feelings for Bian Haitao the moment he saw him, but he had been ignoring him. As a result, Bian Haitao's gaze seemed to be glued to him, with a gloomy and hateful look in his eyes. Cheng Rushan could feel that strong emotion clearly.

He turned his head to look back, and their eyes met in mid-air. Cheng Rushan's eyes were cold, and Bian Haitao was unable to dodge and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't even have time to hide the hatred in his eyes.

Cheng Rushan snorted softly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, showing undisguised contempt.

Bian Haitao was immediately filled with rage. No man could tolerate the provocation from his love rival.

The newly appointed Minister of Political Affairs, Kong, glanced at the whole audience and asked, "Anything else you want to add?"

Cheng Rushan raised his hand.

Minister Kong nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Cheng Rushan said: "Minister Kong, I have visited various universities in the past two years. After ten years of repression, some students are still unable to adapt to university life. Either they have not been liberated, or they are too self-indulgent. I suggest that we offer a military theory course to strengthen the cultivation of students' world outlook, outlook on life, and values."

He talked about the recommended course content, including military theory, military thinking, first aid knowledge, etc., which, combined with military training, should leave a deeper impression on college students and better cultivate their spirit.

Minister Kong listened carefully and nodded repeatedly. "This is a good suggestion. We can discuss it with the Ministry of Education, and then our military region will send teachers to give lectures and training."

Director Feng of the Political Department of the Logistics Department immediately said, "Director Kong, will the teachers be arranged by our Political Department?"

Minister Kong looked around again, his eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one, and finally fell on Cheng Rushan. He said: "Captain Cheng will take the lead and organize a university military theory classroom research group to study it."

To enter the classroom, teaching staff are indispensable. A university must have a few fixed teachers to give lectures. These universities in the provincial capital have to have at least dozens of people, all of whom have to work part-time. It is common for one person to take on multiple roles and do the work of several people.

Of course, the provincial university is the key target, and we will definitely implement the pilot project here first. If it goes well, we will promote it throughout the province.

After the meeting, Director Feng and Cheng Rushan called over a few young and promising officers, and invited a few experienced old comrades who were retired to enjoy their old age, and they all held a meeting to discuss it. If they came up with an effective plan, they could directly report it to the Education Bureau.

Finally, it was decided that this project would be jointly led by Cheng Rushan and Bian Haitao, with Cheng Rushan as the team leader and Bian Haitao as the deputy team leader, and they would report directly to Minister Kong.

When the meeting was over, Cheng Rushan packed up and planned to go to the transportation department first. He had a lot of work on hand now, and he was busy all the time.

Bian Haitao stood at the door, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking at him with a sneer, "Captain Cheng, what is your academic background? Aren't you afraid of not having the confidence to enter a university classroom?"

Cheng Rushan said calmly: "Relax, I didn't ask you to lecture on literature and science to college students. Or is it that Deputy Director Bian hasn't even learned military business well and has no confidence at all?"

Bian Haitao was so angry that he snorted and took a puff of his cigarette.

Cheng Rushan walked past him and asked, "Deputy Director Bian didn't even study for the college entrance examination?"

After saying that, he walked away.

Bian Haitao was so angry that he bit the cigarette in his mouth. The purpose of taking the college entrance examination is to pursue a better career. People with good jobs like them will not spend time reviewing for the college entrance examination. They don't have the energy or motivation to study. They usually rely on further study to improve themselves. He went to the capital to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University a few years ago and was promoted after returning.

But he had done the college entrance examination questions, and the results were terrible: he definitely would not pass.

He had never told anyone about this, but from what Cheng Rushan said, it was clear that he knew about it.

Damn it!

It was already hard for him to believe that Jiang Lin was admitted to the provincial university. In his impression, Jiang Lin was not a good student at all, and she only had the level of a technical secondary school. It was incredible that she was admitted to the provincial university. So he deliberately used some tricks to mark her admission letter and detained it for two days. He even took her college entrance examination papers from the school and locked them in his filing cabinet. The scores of the first batch of college students would not be announced, and the papers would not be kept for too long. They would eventually be disposed of. He did not think there was anything wrong with taking them away.

Every time he looked at the paper, it cruelly reminded him again and again that Jiang Lin was no longer the same as she was before. Perhaps he had hurt her too deeply back then, or perhaps it was her hatred for him that made her work harder.

Anyway, he just refused to admit that Jiang Lin became a better person after leaving him.

He repeatedly confirmed with Meng Yiyi whether he and Jiang Lin would have any intersection in the future, and learned that their futures had deviated from the original track. Jiang Lin had left Cheng Rushan to be his mistress and had given birth to a child for him. But he abandoned Kuang Guomei and married Fang Chengxia, and later ended up badly until he was beaten to death by Cheng Rushan, and Jiang Lin was thrown into prison by Cheng Rushan.

Fortunately, with Meng Yiyi's advice, the future has changed, and he did not marry Fang Chengxia. Even with Cheng Rushan, who is an eyesore, he can still create a new world.

But this also made Bian Haitao a little nervous. He always wondered if Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan could also see the future? Why did their life trajectories change? They didn't get any advice from Meng Yiyi!

Unconsciously, his psychology became increasingly unbalanced.

Cheng Rushan was completely unaware of his complicated psychological activities. After the meeting, he went to the transportation department. When he finished his work and it was almost time for dinner, he packed up and went home.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard laughter in the yard.

Jiang Lin is teaching Wensheng to sing. "Wensheng, this is a song, not an opera. You don't have to sing it like an opera. Just sing with me. The girls of Alishan are as beautiful as water, and the boys of Alishan are as strong as mountains."

Wensheng learns to sing opera very quickly, and he can get the hang of it after listening to it a few times. But when he is asked to sing, he always sings it as opera involuntarily. Actually, he was not like this at the beginning. At that time, singing opera was just a hobby, and he sang it occasionally, which did not affect him. He could even sing nursery rhymes with Dabao and Xiaobao.

Later he joined a drama troupe, where he trained his voice and sang operas every day. He was so obsessed with it that now whenever he sings he always sings in the tune of operas.

He can compose all his songs in the tune of opera, and they sound very nice.

But singing opera is tiring, and the audience is small. To be honest, ordinary people still prefer to listen to popular songs.

Jiang Lin likes it too. Vincent has such a nice voice and she really wants to hear him sing.

Listening to Wensheng singing the story of the girl from Alishan as an opera, Jiang Lin and the others couldn't stop laughing.

Dabao: "Come, listen to me sing."

Xiaobao: "I can do it too."

The two brothers are only 9 years old, but their voices are still clear and pleasant, and they sing with a unique feeling.

Jiang Lin taught them to sing "Edelweiss" again. Seeing Cheng Rushan coming in from outside, Jiang Lin said happily: "Brother Shan, Vincent was chosen by a famous director to sing the movie theme song. Isn't that amazing?"

After the Cultural Revolution, the literary and cultural undertakings began to recover, not only literary works, but also film art. Now in response to the requirements of the government's cultural department, some films are made to reflect on the past ten years, focus on current developments and changes, and focus on family planning and other themes.

The film in which Vincent was invited to sing the interlude is called "Sweet Family". It tells the story of Aunt Cao, who favors boys over girls. She made a lot of fuss in order to have a son. Later, she asked her daughter and son-in-law to settle down in her home to take care of the old couple in their old age. Finally, Aunt Cao responded to the family planning policy and got sterilized.

Although the story seemed simple to Jiang Lin, it was at least more lifelike than model operas. It told the stories of ordinary people and was more popular among citizens.

The name of the interlude is "Children are treasures in our hands", which is very consistent with the current mainstream propaganda meaning, but the tune is very nice.

Cheng Rushan put his arm around her waist and said to Wensheng, "Sing for us."

Wensheng grabbed his ears, feeling a little depressed, "...I haven't learned it yet." He looked at Jiang Lin and Yan Runzhi and said aggrievedly, "Am I a little stupid?"

"How could it be possible!" Dabao and Xiaobao encouraged him in unison, "It's such a long song, you will learn it after singing it a few times."

Jiang Lin: "Wensheng is too focused. He focuses on one and ignores the other. In fact, opera singing is also divided into different types. You can perform Peking opera, Huangmei opera, and Bangzi opera. So just treat singing as a kind of storytelling or something."

Normal people could not understand or empathize with him, but Jiang Lin had been with him for a long time and studied psychiatric magazines and researched Vincent's mental state and consciousness, so it was easy for her to understand his feelings.

After hearing her words, Vincent closed his eyes and began to transform the feelings in his mind.

Yan Runzhi signaled everyone to keep their voices down and not disturb Wensheng, and she took Cheng Yunzhi to set the table.

Dabao and Xiaobao moved small stools, and the two brothers squeezed on one stool and waited for Vincent to show a surprised and delighted expression and shout "Ah, it really works!"

Jiang Lin told them many stories, including the clever Ikkiu and Conan. However, in order to avoid the difficulty of explaining in the future, she changed the names and backgrounds, made up some stories, and kept the scenes of brainstorming and enlightenment and the exciting scenes of there being only one truth.

Dabao and Xiaobao like this kind of scene very much. When listening to the radio, they especially like to hear the storyteller hit the wake-up stick and say, "Oh, so that's how it is!" Even in class, they like to see their classmates suddenly realize the solution to a problem.

This makes them feel inexplicably excited and inspires their own inspiration.

By the time Yan Runzhi had set the table, Cheng Rushan had already come out of a quick shower, and Wensheng was still standing there muttering to himself.

Suddenly, Vincent shouted, "I get it!" and began to sing fluently like an ordinary person.

Dabao and Xiaobao jumped up and cheered, "That's great!"

I like to see people’s surprised expressions at that moment.

While eating, Wensheng was still humming, and he couldn't stop. Seeing Jiang Lin's eyes full of amazement, as if she forgot to eat while listening, Wensheng was simply too beautiful.

He said to Jiang Lin, "Mom, I'll go sing at your next class activity."

Jiang Lin applauded: "Welcome, welcome."

Dabao: "I'm going to tell ghost stories!"

Now the pen name Lin Shi is somewhat famous in the provincial university newspaper, Story Forest, Semi-Monthly Talks and other publications, but readers have complained that the styles of the articles written by this author vary too much and do not seem to be written by the same person.

Xiaobao's face changed: "No, there are no ghosts in this world, we are materialists!"

Dabao glanced at him and said, "There are no more dinosaurs, no dragons, no gods, no snail girls, no..."

Xiaobao likes stories about gods and demons, but he is afraid of ghosts. This is his weakness, and Dabao has a firm grasp on it.

Jiang Lin stared at them and said earnestly, "Dabao, let's tell some healthy and happy stories, not those scary ones."

Dabao: "Is it scary? I don't think it's scary at all."

Jiang Lin quietly poked Cheng Rushan and asked him to take action.

Cheng Rushan: "Start studying the Four Books and Five Classics from now on. Memorize them and be able to speak them, so that you won't be so idle."

In fact, as long as this kid doesn't come to scare his wife, he doesn't care if he scares others. Xiaobao is a cunning kid. He is inseparable from Dabao all day long. He will pounce on Dabao when there is a little danger. It's strange that he is afraid of him.

When Xiaobao sees his dad taking care of Dabao, he just laughs, hehe.

Dabao glared at him and said coldly, "What are you talking about? Hehe, aren't you afraid that Hehe will come to you at night?"

He thought Xiaobao was annoying because he always laughed, so he told his classmates about a little ghost called Hehe. But Xiaobao was scared so much that he forgot about it in the past two days.

Xiaobao: "Dad!"
