The design competition in the school is in full swing. An An has passed three levels in a row and is waiting to go abroad to participate in the competition. But before that, it is Jiang Jiang's turn to go abroad first. Originally, they were supposed to leave on April 3, but unfortunately the teacher who led the team had something to do this time, so he moved the date forward by two days.
An An wanted to bring the whole family with Jiang Jiang, but the conditions were limited, and the baggage check-in at this time was even more expensive than the ticket for one person, so he had to give up in the end.
After picking and choosing, An An and Teacher Sun packed a full suitcase for Jiang Jiang.
Along the way, Dong Dong hugged Jiang Jiang's shoulders, looking like a good brother. To outsiders, the relationship between the two brothers is really good, but it is not the case.
Dongdong punched Jiang Jiang in the chest, "Gu Jiang Jiang, you bastard, you're going away without even telling me!" The whole family knew that Jiang Jiang was going abroad, but he was the only one who didn't know. He was so secretive.
They had slept in the same bed together for several years, but he didn't even give him any advice.
Jiang Jiang knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't fight back. He let Dong Dong punch him several times before he spoke, "I'll be away from home from now on, and you'll be the man of the house. You'll have to take good care of An An and Mom!"
Dong Dong rolled his eyes at Jiang Jiang, "Do I need you to tell me that?" He also wanted to go abroad, but his master didn't allow him to. And all the knowledge in Old Man Lang's belly had been drained by Jiang Jiang, otherwise Old Man Lang wouldn't have agreed so readily to let Jiang Jiang go abroad.
The two brothers talked as they walked.
After Dong Dong finished speaking, it was the turn of Gu Wei Qiang and Teacher Sun. As elders, they thought it was a good thing for their children to do well and go abroad to develop, but as parents, they couldn't bear to leave their children, especially at this time of separation, and their reluctance increased a bit.
Gu Wei Qiang patted Jiang Jiang on the shoulder, "Good boy, you are taller than me now. When you go out, you are no longer a child. If you are bullied, just beat me back. If you can't beat me, call me and I will avenge you!" Men may not be so sentimental, but they just want their children not to be bullied outside.
Over the years, Jiang Jiang has already regarded everyone in the Gu family as his closest relatives, and Gu Weiqiang is his father. His nose was slightly red, "Dad, I know!"
Teacher Sun glared at Gu Weiqiang in a reproachful manner. The child was going abroad and would soon be thousands of miles away. This man was really arrogant. He didn't even think about it. If the child was really bullied, what would be the use of calling him! After all, distant water cannot quench nearby thirst.
Teacher Sun was very practical. "You have always been sensible. Mom won't say much else. Just take care of yourself outside. Our family has money. Don't be reluctant to eat and drink. If you don't have enough money, just call home and your family will send you some. In short, don't worry about money!" She
couldn't help with anything else at home. When it came to money, Teacher Sun always believed in contributing as much as she could. For this reason, she went to the principal to sign an IOU and advanced one year's salary. She taught at Tsinghua University and earned nearly 80 yuan a month. The principal added an extra digit to make it a total of 1,000 yuan.
Teacher Sun has always been a frugal person at home, and he put all the money his family had saved during their long time in Beijing into the donation. In total, it was only fifteen hundred yuan. Compared with other children, this amount was not much, but it was the whole heart of their elders.
In the end, Teacher Sun and An An packed the suitcase together. Before Jiang Jiang even looked at it, his eyes became warm, "Mom, I'm going away. You take care of yourself at home and don't correct homework too late at night. If you really have to work overtime, turn on the new desk lamp you bought for An An. Don't be reluctant to pay the electricity bill!"
Even though they live in such a nice house now, Teacher Sun is still as frugal as before. When he is correcting homework or revising lesson plans at night, he is reluctant to turn on even the high-wattage desk lamp.
Originally, these words should have been said by An An, the daughter of the family. But now that they came from the mouth of Jiang Jiang, the son, the usually cold teacher Sun couldn't help but burst into tears, "Good boy, I know!"
Jiang Jiang is a thoughtful child who sees everything. Now such a filial son is going away for a long time, and it is not known how many years he will be gone. Teacher Sun feels so sad!
As the head of the family, Gu Weiqiang naturally hugged Teacher Sun's shoulders tightly, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your mother and will not let her stay up late to work overtime at night!"
Jiang Jiang nodded.
Finally, it was An An's turn. She originally had a thousand things to say, but when she saw Jiang Jiang, she couldn't say anything. The tip of her tongue felt bitter, and she sighed softly, "Gu Jiang Jiang, you must take good care of yourself when you are abroad." She called out the man's full name, half of it was a threat, half of it was worry, and the rest was just reluctance.
Every time Jiang Jiang called An An by her full name, it meant that An An was a little angry. Jiang Jiang felt uneasy, but looked at An An with a little expectation, "An An, don't you want me to go abroad!"
An An raised her hand and pinched Jiang Jiang's ears, "I am reluctant
to let you go!" Jiang Jiang's face lit up, and then she heard An An continue, "But, Jiang Jiang, you have your own future. Sister is waiting for you to stand at the top in the future and write the three words "Gu Jiang Jiang"! At that time, sister will be proud of you!" An An has always known that Jiang Jiang is an extremely outstanding child, but after experiencing everything, he learned to hide his shortcomings. An An hopes that Jiang Jiang can shine abroad.
Jiang Jiang's eyes dimmed at first, but when he heard An An's last words, he brightened up, "If that day really comes, will you come abroad with me?"
An An smiled, "Okay! Sister is waiting for you to take sister to see the foreign world!"
"It's a deal!", Jiang Jiang's eyes sparkled. He stretched out his little finger and pulled An An's hand without giving room for rejection. He pointed at her thumb and pressed it lightly. He said in a high-spirited tone, "An An, we have stamped it. Don't regret it!"
An An nodded with a smile and watched Jiang Jiang's receding back, whispering, "Have a safe journey!" In fact, An An would not care whether Jiang Jiang was doing well or badly abroad. She only cared about one thing, that Jiang Jiang was her younger brother. However, Jiang Jiang was no longer the obedient boy he used to be. Instead, he showed his ambition. Since Jiang Jiang was ambitious, what would happen if she gave him some encouragement?
Lu Yan, who was beside An An, had a very gloomy face. He drove the Gu family here, especially Jiang Jiang who was sitting in the passenger seat. When this brat left, he said goodbye to everyone except him! He didn't even
give him a glance.
He was really too arrogant, but he didn't care about the farewell of this brat. He was really too unpleasant.
An An turned around and found Lu Yan, who was shivering. Then she realized that Jiang Jiang seemed to have forgotten about Lu Yan. She comforted him, "Okay, okay! Don't bother with a child!"
The word "child" obviously pleased Lu Yan. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I won't bother with my brother-in-law!" Haha, no matter how capable Jiang Jiang is, no matter how important he is in An An's heart, he can only be a younger brother forever.
This identity can never be changed in this life.
An An knew that Lu Yan was upset at the moment, so she stroked him and said, "I knew you would have a good temper as a brother-in-law!"
Okay, okay! An An said just two words, and the dark clouds on Lu Yan's face disappeared immediately. He held An An in his arms affectionately and walked in front.
Gu Weiqiang and Teacher Sun, who were walking at the end, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. No one expected that Jiang Jiang would have such an attitude when he left, and it was obvious that he was not in harmony with Lu Yan. As elders, one is a son and the other is a future son-in-law. They are both flesh and blood. If Jiang Jiang was in front of them, they could still say a few words, but Jiang Jiang was already on the plane, so naturally they couldn't say anything.
However, after seeing An An comfort Lu Yan, they smiled at each other.
Lu Yan is a good son-in-law in every way, except when he has a cold face, which is scary. At this time, only An An can comfort this sullen Lu Yan.
After sending Jiang Jiang away, there was one less person in the family. When eating, An An habitually picked up food for Jiang Jiang on her left, but found that the seat on her left was empty. Not only An An sighed, but everyone at the table sighed. Dong Dong couldn't help it. He poked the white rice in the bowl with chopsticks, "Sister, do you think Jiang Jiang has white rice to eat abroad?"
After moving to Beijing, An An didn't hide it anymore. She told Gu Weiqiang and Teacher Sun directly that she made some money by doing business with Lu Yan, and she reimbursed all the food and clothing expenses of the family. After having this cover, she directly replaced the brown rice at home with refined white rice, so the table was always white rice.
This was a life that I couldn't even imagine in the past.
Dong Dong asked, and An An lost her appetite. "I think so!" This was just to comfort her family. The food abroad was completely different from that in China. Jiang Jiang had to adapt to the new environment.
When she left, An An packed an extra 3,000 yuan in Jiang Jiang's suitcase, and also packed several small yellow croakers. She packed seven for Jiang Jiang in total. These were collected by Lu Yan in the morning. She didn't dare to pack more because they were very heavy to carry on the plane.
It can only be said that the prepared money is useful in one aspect, and his real way out is these seven small yellow croakers. Even if Jiang Jiang does not have a good life abroad, these small yellow croakers are enough for him to live a stable life for a long time, and even support him to return from abroad.
You know, no matter what era, gold is a hard currency.
On the plane, Jiang Jiang saw the two small bags of money in the suitcase and knew that the smaller one was prepared by Teacher Sun, and the larger one was prepared by An An. When he was about to put the larger one alone, he found that the weight was wrong. When he opened it, the golden small yellow croakers almost blinded his eyes.
I don't know why, when seeing these little yellow croakers, Jiang Jiang didn't cry when she said goodbye, but now she couldn't help crying. When An An and the others were missing Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang was also missing them. No
one had any interest in this meal, so they finished it in a hurry.
And An An forced herself to be busy. In the previous school design selection competition, she passed three levels and naturally got a place to go abroad. But it didn't mean that she could go abroad after getting the place. The contestants of this competition were selected in the top five, and these five students were also singled out for intensive training. After all, it was still difficult for them to get a place abroad with their current level.
The training teacher that the school found for these five students was also a master-level figure who had participated in international competitions. However, China's design industry started late, and even their teacher this time had only participated in international competitions and did not get a particularly good ranking. Teacher Lin put all the regrets on the students and doubled the learning tasks assigned to them. An An was also very busy at school every day, and for a while, he had no time to think about messy things.
