When Chu Yao and other students first entered the university, they were ridiculed by their classmates because of their skin color. Later, under the crushing strength of their own, those "chosen ones" had to admit defeat.
From then on, they maintained a state of non-enthusiasm, non-association, and non-provoking attitude towards students like Chu Yao.
After Chu Yao and the others were far ahead in their studies, they had to admit that the people they looked down upon before were indeed very capable, and the relationship between them eased a little.
In a blink of an eye, Chu Yao and other students have been studying in Columbia for a month. During this month, they have learned a lot of knowledge that is not available in China and enriched their spiritual world.
Every day they wander in the ocean of knowledge, and sometimes they are even reluctant to leave the classroom.
They are all young and energetic boys and girls. Their enthusiasm for learning makes college students from other countries feel scared.
For a while, they even trembled when they saw Chinese students.
They were no longer as arrogant as before. They had never seen such a hardworking group of people.
Seeing that the students were working so hard, the embassy staff took them out for fun during their break.
Learning is not just about learning knowledge from books, but also about learning about the humanities of different places, seeing where they live, and gaining an in-depth understanding of their lifestyles, to see if they have any advantages that we need to learn, and what are their shortcomings that we need to avoid when we build.
This trip had a great impact on the students. They felt that in addition to studying, they should go out more often to increase their life experience.
Another big thing happened during the trip. Here's what happened.
The students were chatting together in groups of three or five on the lawn when suddenly a series of "bang bang bang" sounds were heard.
This was the first time they heard gunshots, and they were immediately frightened and in a mess. Fortunately, the embassy staff were nearby and calmed them down in time and allowed them to retreat to a safe place.
After the students got on the bus, they saw what had happened with lingering fear.
This sight scared them to death. There were people fighting openly in the street, and one of them was holding a gun. The "bang bang bang" sound just now must have been made by this person.
The embassy car drove past and they didn't know what happened next.
But this incident had a very bad impact on them, bringing back some bad memories, especially for Tan Haoyu, who was also one of the people who experienced those things.
The atmosphere in the car was very depressing.
The people at the embassy were a little annoyed, but also a little used to it.
They have been living like this for the past few years. Today's situation was just a one-sided beating, not a bloody fight between two groups. If they encountered a bloody fight, they would be in big trouble.
"Comrades, cheer up and think about why we are here?" The embassy staff didn't say much, just said this and sat down.
The students began to reflect on the purpose of their studies.
Yes, their purpose is not only to make their motherland stronger, but also to prevent today's events from happening in the country. They want the motherland and the people to live in a safe and healthy environment.
Finally, smiles appeared on the students' faces.
Chu Yao was still lost in thought.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it’s just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.
On this return journey, these twenty students made great contributions to the future prosperity of the motherland.
The time spent studying always passes quickly, and they have adapted to this fast-paced life. When they take a break occasionally, they feel like they have nothing to do.
Chu Yao and the others' lives here seem to be on the right track.
And Kyoto is not bad either.
Before leaving, Chu Yao gave both parents many recipes for business use.
For example, this braised pork recipe.
After the two families discussed it, the elders of both families made braised meat, while the four young people continued to run the breakfast stall.
By doing this, they actually made a lot of money.
Yao Jinnian also suggested that they buy more shops facing the street so that they would not be exposed to wind and rain, and it would be good to keep them for appreciation in value in the future.
In the end, they bought three shops for 20,000 yuan, one of which also came with a small yard.
This made them very happy.
Yang Zheng, Wu Siyu, Chu Sheng and Lin Ling seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. As long as they had money, they had to buy, buy, buy and stock up.
The key is that what they buy and hoard is nothing else but houses, from courtyard houses to private houses, they will buy them as long as they like it.
Yao Jinnian nodded secretly after knowing this.
The four young people were shocked by their parents' generosity, not to mention the subsequent skyrocketing housing prices in Kyoto, especially the prices of courtyard houses.
Originally, the two elders had agreed that they would move out after Chu Yao came to Kyoto and officially settled down. But now that Chu Yao has gone abroad, they are worried about the elderly and children at home, big and small.
So, the issue of moving out was not mentioned again.
Yang Hang's work also made further progress and he was promoted.
This time he was directly promoted to the position of deputy director, which made everyone in the unit jealous. However, there was nothing they could do about it, after all, Yang Hang had made great contributions.
He was even featured in the newspaper once, but his photo was not published to keep a low profile.
This made the family happy for a long time, especially the three little ones.
They wanted to take the newspaper to school to show off, but then they remembered what their mother said about being low-key, so they silently folded the newspaper in their hands and put it in their treasure box.
Yang Hang and the three little ones were counting the days, waiting for Chu Yao to come back.
But summer has just passed and next year is still a long way off.
Yang Hang could not go abroad due to work reasons. Besides, people at that time were naturally afraid of going abroad.
Fortunately, I have two parents, Uncle Nian and Aunt Zhao to take care of me at home.
Time passed as they waited.
This year, they were not used to the days without Chu Yao at home. They always called Chu Yao to eat and go to school, but every time after calling, there was no clear response and they all fell silent.
Nothing has changed at Kyoto University. Except for the students who are still striving hard, everything else remains the same.
There are stalls everywhere on the street, and there are even women who love beauty and have given themselves a fashionable instant noodle hairstyle. When they walk on the street, they will definitely attract people’s attention.
Yang Zhao and his friends have grown a lot taller this year, especially A Zhang, who has become much more sensible and motivated in his studies. He is no longer noisy at home, which makes the adults in the family feel distressed.
I wonder if A Yao would cry if she knew that Erbao had changed.
