445 People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes

Secretary Zhou has been an official for many years and is considered a veteran in the officialdom. He seldom admires anyone.

Fu Zhengtu is an exception.

He held the hand of this outstanding young man with both hands, and his gratitude was beyond words:

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your outstanding contribution to our county."

Fu Zhengtu held his wrist, bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, “It may be a piece of cake for you, but for many people, it may be a life-changing event.

Our area is still backward after all. Compared with big cities, there is a huge information gap. With your lecture today, this gap has been narrowed and we are not completely in the dark. "

Fu Zhengtu has always been a practical person, he doesn't like small talk, and he doesn't like the empty talk in officialdom, he only speaks the truth.

Fortunately, Secretary Zhou is also a practical man. He values ​​Fu Zhengtu's talent and wants to keep him to talk with him at night by candlelight.

Unfortunately, Fu Zhengtu was very busy and rushed back to work right after the lecture.

Su Taotao asked him to drive back while she took the two children to see Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang hadn't seen Chenchen for a while and wanted to hug him, but he couldn't do it anymore.

Instead, Old Hu happily picked up Chen Chen, kissed him again and again like a baby, and gave him the candy man that had already melted and that he had kept for a long time and was reluctant to eat.

Chen Chen smiled happily, and while using sign language, he said, "Grandpa Fu, let's eat together!"

Even though the boy could speak clearly already, he still had the habit of calling Lao Hu "Grandpa Fu" just like when he was a child.

"Uh uh uh..." Old Hu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He carried Chen Chen to the kitchen. He had some good food hidden there for Chen Chen to eat with him.

Chenchen waved to his good friend: "Baibai, follow me, there will be candy!"

Mr. Tang turned his gaze away from the old man, the child, and the big black dog, and couldn't stop smiling:

"You came just in time. I was just about to tell you something."

Fu Yuanhang made tea for everyone and asked casually, "What's the matter, teacher?"

"I'm going back to the capital." said Mr. Tang.

Fu Yuanhang's hands shook and the tea almost spilled on himself.

Su Taotao quickly took the teapot from his hand and said, "Be careful."

Fu Yuanhang shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Why do you suddenly want to go back to the capital?"

"It's not that I suddenly want to go back," Mr. Tang took the tea from Fu Yuanhang's hand and took a sip.

"Ah Hang, you have a great talent for painting and you are also very smart. It only took you four or five years to achieve the skills that others would have spent ten years or even longer to develop.

Many painters could not write or paint a work like "The Story of Time" in their entire lives, but you did it at the age of fifteen.

To be honest, I don't have anything left to teach you. The reason I refuse to leave is because I can't bear to leave you.

”

Mr. Tang felt that the luckiest thing that had happened to him was that he met Su Taotao's family on the train and accepted Fu Yuanhang as his last disciple, a person he was secretly happy about even in his dreams. He had taught him everything he should and could teach.

Even if I sleep forever from now on, I will have no regrets in this life.

"teacher……"

Mr. Tang raised his hand and pressed it: "My nephew in the capital has urged me countless times. I didn't leave before because I really couldn't bear to leave you. I haven't been back for several years. It's time for me to return to my roots."

Old Tang patted Fu Yuanhang on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction. He had watched this good boy grow up with his own eyes, from being not even as tall as his shoulders to being taller than him now.

Before he knew it, he had grown into a towering tree that provided him with shade and coolness:

"Ahang, the college entrance examination has been resumed. The best universities are in the capital, and your teachers are waiting for you in the capital."

Fu Yuanhang looked at the gray-haired teacher in front of him and nodded heavily, his eyes unconsciously moist: "Teacher, you must take care of yourself. You must take good care of yourself."

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "I will, and so will you."

"Mr. Tang, when do you plan to do it?" Su Taotao asked.

"Tomorrow." Mr. Tang replied.

Su Taotao was stunned: "So fast?"

Mr. Tang still smiled and said, "No, I've been preparing for a long time. I was planning to call you tomorrow to tell you."

Su Taotao looked helpless: "Mr. Tang..."

She knew what Mr. Tang meant. He didn't want them to do anything for him, didn't want to hear words of thanks, and even less did she want them to prepare gifts.

If she hadn't come to my house suddenly today.

They planned to leave quietly.

"That's enough," Mr. Tang raised his hands, "no need to say anything, there's still a long way to go."

Su Taotao nodded: "Yes, there is a long way to go, maybe we can meet in the capital soon."

Su Taotao had nothing to hide. Even if she failed to get into a university in the capital this year, she would continue to take the exam next year. She would eventually be admitted.

Mr. Tang raised his eyebrows, then thought of something and asked tentatively:

"You've also signed up for the college entrance exam? Which university in the capital do you plan to attend?"

Su Taotao nodded: "Yes, the education level there is better and there are more opportunities."

Su Taotao didn't need to say much, Mr. Tang naturally understood what she meant.

Although gold like Fu Yuanhang and Chen Chen will shine no matter where they are, if they are placed higher and farther, they will be able to see higher and farther, store more knowledge, and exert greater energy for the country and the people in the future.

This is why in the 21st century, everyone is still accustomed to migrating to big cities. For the sake of the next generation, they will also try to take root in big cities.

Mr. Tang slapped the armrest of his chair heavily. "Great, great. What about Zhengtu?"

Mr. Tang would never think that Su Taotao would not be able to get into university.

Su Taotao is very intelligent, but she was born at the wrong time and never had the chance to go to university.

Since she said so, she will definitely bring the child with her.

It’s just that Fu Zhengtu’s job is not easy to move.

Tang Lao knew her limits. She didn't intend to hide anything and told the truth:

"When I pass the exam, he will apply to be transferred to the capital headquarters. We will be inseparable as a family."

Elder Tang was now completely relieved: "Yes, yes, yes, we won't be separated. The whole family will be together. That's great, great."

He was particularly reluctant to leave his two children, and thought that he would have to wait at least a few years until Fu Yuanhang went to college before they would have the chance to reunite in the capital.

At his age, he doesn’t know if he can wait for a few more years.

Unexpectedly, Su Taotao fulfilled his wish ahead of time.

After resolving this worry, Mr. Tang felt a lot more relaxed.

They stayed until the last bus back to the base was about to leave.

As a result, Su Taotao really had no time to prepare anything for Mr. Tang, and didn't even have time to have a meal with him.

However, the old man left a lot of good things for Fu Yuanhang. All the things in the house, including his own works, and even the house were handed over to Fu Yuanhang. He said that he did not plan to come back in the future and let Fu Yuanhang handle it with full authority, and he would transfer the ownership when he was old enough.

Mr. Tang also repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to see him off tomorrow.

When he gets there he will call them to let them know he is safe.

He also asked Su Taotao to study hard and try to pass the exam so that they could meet in the capital in a few months.

After going out, Fu Yuanhang's eyes were red. He grabbed the heavy key tightly, knocked three times at the door, and then turned and left.

Chenchen also held his mother's hand and looked back every few steps:

"Mom, when can we see Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Fu again?"

"It will be soon. Mom will try to let you see it after the New Year." Su Taotao said.

If she remembered correctly, after the college entrance examination in December, universities would start classes one after another after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

Chen Chen wrinkled her nose and said, "Ah, that's still a long time. What should I do if my uncle misses Grandpa Tang?"

Su Taotao smiled and touched the child's head: "You also want Grandpa Fu's candy, right?"

Chen Chen nodded honestly: "Yes, I do, and I miss the grandpas too."

"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon waxes and wanes; it's all normal in life, but there will always be a time for reunion." Su Taotao said this mainly to Fu Yuanhang.

Chen Chen nodded heavily: "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart. I have learned this from you, Mom."

(Note: Su Shi's Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear?)

"Chenchen is really smart."

It's such a relief to have a son with a photographic memory.

"Sister-in-law, I understand too." Fu Yuanhang said.

Su Taotao held Fu Yuanhang's arm and said, "Of course, our uncle is also very smart, right Chenchen?"

Chen Chen nodded and scratched Bai Bai's tail: "My family is very smart, even the dog is very smart! Isn't that right, Bai Bai?"

“Woof woof woof…”

Su Taotao: “…………”
