Chapter 152 Lin Family
Just as they finished packing up the house, several tricycles parked at the gate of the yard, and the neighbors also started moving.
"Tuanan, Xiaoting, someone is coming over from next door, come out quickly and help." Huang Ling went out to take a look, then turned back and shouted.
Zhuang Tunan came out and saw a family of three talking to Huang Ling. This should be the family of three of Lin Wufeng, Song Ying and Lin Zhedong. Song Ying was dressed very fashionably. Although she was moving, her clothes were very eye-catching. She wore a dark blue pointed collar jacket and a turmeric turtleneck sweater. She looked bright and neat.
In sharp contrast, the man next to her was dressed in rustic clothes, and the little boy next to the coal pile was even more sloppy.
Song Ying was very familiar with the girl. "Sister Ling, right? Lin Wufeng, this is our future neighbor Sister Ling, Dongzhe, call her auntie."
Lin Wufeng quickly put down the thermos in his hand and extended his hand to Huang Ling, "Sister Ling, nice to meet you."
When Lin Dongzhe heard his mother's words, he looked up and smiled brightly at Huang Ling. His facial features were very similar to Song Ying, with delicate features and very likable. Just as Lin Dongzhe was about to call her "Auntie", he suddenly heard the voices of Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting talking outside the courtyard. He immediately ran to the gate and looked out.
When Lin Dongzhe turned around, Huang Ling couldn't help but notice his pants. There was a big hole on the buttocks of the pants, and a piece of his underwear was exposed through the hole. There was a blurry word "urine" on the underwear. It should be the underwear made of urea bag cloth.
This reminded Zhuang Tunan of a popular saying: "To determine whether a cadre is a cadre or not, first look at the material of the pants. There is a small Japanese pattern in front of the crotch, and urea will appear in the back. The nitrogen content of the left leg is the percentage of the right leg."
At present, the supply of materials is tight. To buy cloth, you not only need money but also tickets. Many people have set their sights on the urea bags used to hold fertilizers. They cut the leftover urea bags into pants to wear. Only capable people can get this, and ordinary people cannot get it.
Huang Ling instinctively disliked Song Ying. She dressed up ostentatiously while her husband and son were dressed slovenly. She was not doing a good job as a wife and mother.
Zhuang Tunan didn't think so. Lin Wufeng was a student at Shanghai Jiaotong University. After graduation, he was assigned to Suzhou Compressor Factory. Song Ying worked in a cotton mill and was also a skilled worker. The couple had only one child, Lin Dongzhe. Lin Wufeng didn't support the family endlessly like Zhuang Chaoying. Their family conditions were much better than his own.
The reason for this is that Song Ying has a somewhat careless personality, Lin Wufeng often needs to deal with machines, and Lin Dongzhe is naughty, so no matter how good his clothes are, they will be torn after a while. After a long time, Song Ying became too lazy to care about these things.
"Is this Tunan? I've heard of your name at the compressor factory. We have a little genius in Suzhou?" Lin Wufeng patted Zhuang Tunan's shoulder and praised him. At the same time, he did not forget Zhuang Xiaoting, "Is this your sister? She is in the same class with Dongzhe. She is very pretty and she combs her hair well. Sister Ling's craftsmanship is really good."
Huang Ling was immediately happy to hear this. What mother doesn't like others to praise her child? "Uncle Lin, I heard that you are a student at Shanghai Jiaotong University? If I encounter questions I don't understand in the future, can I ask you?" Zhuang Tunan asked.
"I can still answer some questions about physics, and I know a little Russian, but it's hard to say about the other things. It's been so many years since I graduated, and I have forgotten a lot of things. Don't blame me for being incompetent if I can't answer them by the time the time comes." Lin Wufeng said with a smile and without any airs.
The family of three worked together to help the Lin family clean up the house, and were invited to stay for a meal. They all felt that their neighbor was quite nice, and living in the same yard with such people would definitely make their future life not difficult.
Soon, another small incident happened in the yard, which completely changed Huang Ling's attitude towards Song Ying's family. Their yard was a little lower than the yard next door, so Wang Yong next door dug a hole in the yard and drained the sewage into their yard.
As soon as Song Ying found out, she started cursing. Lin Wufeng remained silent and dug a few bags of soil to block the drain. When it rained at night, the water could not drain out and went directly into Wang Yong's house.
This move completely subdued Wang Yong. He no longer dared to poke and stabbed, and obediently repaired the hole in the wall.
"Mom, Dad doesn't take care of things all day, you are soft-tempered, Aunt Song has a strong personality, and Uncle Lin is smart. We are lucky to be neighbors with such a family." Zhuang Tunan also felt fortunate. If he didn't have such a capable helper, he would have to work hard on his own in the future.
After his reminder, Huang Ling understood and went to help Lin Dongzhe mend his pants. The relationship between the two families became more harmonious.
However, when Zhuang Chaoying came back, this wonderful life was disrupted.
As soon as he got home, he talked incessantly about the college entrance examination paper marking, as if he regarded this as the greatest honor in his life. However, he forgot to thank Huang Ling and enjoyed his spacious new home with peace of mind.
After dinner, all the neighbors came over. They listened with great interest to Zhuang Chaoying's stories about marking the college entrance examination papers. "Some people wrote poems on the papers I marked, and some wrote 'Thank you for your hard work, all the marking teachers!' There were all kinds of answers on the papers, and only a few of them were well answered. If a paper had a high accuracy rate, all the teachers in the room would compete to see it."
"We rushed to circulate the papers, firstly to make the students happy, and secondly to open up new ways of thinking about solving problems. This year's college entrance examination was too hasty, and the Education Committee did not have time to prepare correct answers. The examiners had to summarize the standard answers themselves, but their individual problem-solving methods were limited. When we saw other problem-solving methods, we quickly let other teachers take a look to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the examination."
"Overall, the candidates have a very poor foundation. They don't even know many basic junior high school knowledge points and have been delayed for too long."
"Many rural school teachers themselves don't understand. I heard that when filling out applications for a high school, all the graduates filled in 'Peking University'. I guess admission to this school is in jeopardy."
"What kind of school is Peking University?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Peking University is the best school in the country." Zhuang Chaoying answered with longing.
"Oh, then your son Tuanan will definitely be admitted to Peking University in the future!" another neighbor praised.
"It's too difficult to get into Peking University. No matter which university it is, I'll be satisfied as long as he can get in." Zhuang Chaoying said casually.
“It may be difficult for others, but not necessarily for Tunan. I talked with Tunan these few days. He has a solid grasp of math and physics in high school. He can pass the college entrance examination even if he takes it now.” Lin Wufeng, the only college student at the scene, was full of confidence in Zhuang Tunan.
"High school mathematics, physics?" Zhuang Chaoying was confused. How many days have I not been home? It feels like several years have passed since you said that. When did Tu Nan start learning this? I have something to do these days, so I will update twice. I will try to update more when I come back. (End of this chapter)
