Chapter 84
He Ling was right. Even if he didn't have an admission letter, as long as he had all his documents, he could still get one and then wait for school to start.
He Ling wanted to study law, but he chose to accept the transfer, so he was transferred to the Foreign Languages Department. But He Ling wasn't ready to give up on his original dream. Even before school started, he was already thinking about how to balance his two majors.
He really wanted to study.
Since the day he was forced to drop out of school ten years ago, he has dreamed of studying in school.
Thinking of the troubles at home, He Ling applied to the school teacher for early registration.
On the second day of the college entrance examination, they locked themselves in the room. If I hadn't set fire to the room and scared them so much that they didn't dare to open the door... they would have definitely missed the exam.
After what happened today, he definitely won't be going back to that house. If he can't register with school early, he really won't have anywhere to go these next few days.
Fortunately, after understanding his situation, the teachers at school made some concessions.
In fact, like many families who were persecuted during this period, He Ling's family also encountered the same situation.
He Ling's maternal grandfather had some assets, and in his youth, he worked as a comprador in a foreign trading company. Later, when the civil war broke out and fighting broke out everywhere in the country, his maternal grandfather, realizing the situation was not going well, left the country with his family.
He Ling's mother stayed for her so-called love, but she was eventually betrayed by the love she believed in, and committed suicide by jumping off the building in humiliation and despair.
As for He Ling's father, when he found out that something was wrong, he not only divorced his wife resolutely, but also put justice above his own family and pushed He Ling's mother directly into the abyss.
After the divorce, He's father married another woman with two children under the arrangement of He's grandmother.
Although she had two children, the woman had a good family background and her husband was said to have been a martyr. However, after marrying him, they found out that the martyr was her husband's brother, and that her husband had simply died in an air raid.
But that woman was a powerful one. As soon as she married into the family, she took control of He's father and later gave birth to a son for him. Old Mrs. He never liked He Ling's mother, so she also didn't like He Ling very much. In addition, Old Mrs. He was partial to her youngest son, so with several families living together, it's easy to imagine what kind of life He Ling, a motherless child, would have.
Especially He's father, every time he saw his eldest son who looked just like his ex-wife, he felt guilty and embarrassed.
In addition, He Ling was young at the time and did not know how to hide his emotions. As a result, He's father had an escapist mentality and wondered why his son didn't just die.
By the way, in order to prevent himself from being implicated, He’s father adopted He Ling out when his ex-wife got into trouble.
At that time, everyone knew about He Ling's mother's situation, so who would dare to take him in? In the end, it was Grandma He who came up with the idea of giving him up for adoption to their second son, who died at the age of thirteen.
Because he had gone through relatively formal procedures, He Ling was able to stay in the city, which was a blessing in disguise.
There's nothing we can do about it, since he's the only one registered in his family.
Life in the city wasn't much better than in the countryside, but He Ling finally managed to grow up anyway.
There are just too many people who can't stand his good side~
Children brought by the stepmother, children born by the stepmother to her biological father, cousins from her uncle's family, cousins from her aunt's family... Children are innocent and cruel. They seem to know who is weak and how to bully the weak by nature.
Without anyone to restrain me, I naturally thought I was right, and over time, it became a habit...
Compared to He Ling, a poor kid with a scumbag father, a stepmother and a group of unreliable relatives, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun, whose fate was changed by Weisheng, are doting children.
Not only that, the Ning family members living abroad are also trying every means to contact Ning Chaoyun, and they are very concerned about their niece Weisheng.
By the way, because there were students taking the exam at home, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun had previously avoided the work of marking the papers, but they were also frantically preparing for the new semester.
They don’t know what the foundation of the first batch of college entrance examination candidates is like after a decade of absence, from what depth they should start with their lesson plans, and whether they should systematically review the knowledge learned in junior high and high school in the first month after school starts.
I get home from get off work late every night. One day, I fell on my way home because I didn’t see the garbage thrown on the roadside.
He fell off his bicycle, and the fall was so severe.
After finally getting up, they found that their bicycle was broken and they had to push it back home.
In fact, their small Western-style building is very close to Jinling University, and even if they walk there, it only takes about ten minutes. But the problem is that Jinling University is quite large, and if they really want to walk from their home to the office building, it will take 40 to 50 minutes. So riding a bicycle is more convenient and faster for commuting.
When Ning Chaoyun returned home, his feet were swollen like buns. Weisheng helped him with various blood circulation and bone straightening methods. Then, despite Ning Chaoyun's objections, he pressed him into bed to rest for a few days.
It was not until this time that Jinling University remembered that they had not given Ning Chaoyun and Ming Yichen separate rooms.
Since the two had the same academic qualifications, experience and professional title, the school allocated them a three-bedroom, two-living-room dormitory in the professorial building in the staff residential area.
The dormitory is much closer to the office building, and to return to the small western-style building from the professor building, you can use the side door here.
However, after going out from the side door, it takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle to reach the small Western-style building.
There is no furniture in the dormitory, but all the water and electricity are available. Now we can move in just by moving some furniture.
When Weisheng heard that the dormitory was on the third floor, he didn't let Ning Chaoyun limp over to clean, but went there himself with the tools and cleaned it for a whole day.
Weisheng moved all the old furniture in the small Western-style building to the dormitory, and placed a complete set of Nanyang-style furniture in the small Western-style building that she had purchased in Hong Kong in her previous life.
After changing the furniture, the feeling of a small Western-style house suddenly came up.
For this purpose, Weisheng also took Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun to take a lot of photos with the style of the Republic of China.
Ever since they got a dormitory at school, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun stopped going home at noon. They would grab a bite to eat in the dormitory and then stay there for lunch. Sometimes, if they got off work late, they would stay there.
Weisheng usually stayed in the small western-style building, watering the fruit trees and vegetables in the backyard, and feeding the two old cats and several chickens that followed them all the way from north to south to Jinling.
Those two old cats were brought back from Aunt Liu's house when Weisheng's family went to the countryside that year.
Because of their meticulous care and the presence of Weisheng, a veterinarian who has not yet completed his training, these two cats are considered to be rare long-lived cats in this era.
However, these two cats were not very adaptable to the climate of Jinling City, so for their sake, Weisheng directly converted the sunny but now empty study room on the first floor into a floor-heated room.
The house was dry and warm, and there were plenty of cat toys and small teething items, so the cat regained some of its mischievous nature.
When sleeping, he would lie on his back with his belly exposed.
Weisheng once saw a video online, which said that a zoo specially kept a young leopard together with an old leopard in order to revive it. Unexpectedly, the naughty little leopard actually made the old leopard more and more lively.
Thinking of this, Weisheng took out two little male cats that were over a month old from the space and raised them together with the two old cats.
With these two little ones, the old cat is indeed more lively, and Ning Chaoyun's face is full of smiles when he sees them.
Compared to the cat at home, the three hens didn't react much. They laid three eggs a day, with guaranteed quality and quantity.
No matter how busy you are, there is only so much housework to do, and learning requires a combination of work and rest. So when Weisheng has nothing to do, he not only learns tailoring from others, but also learns how to cook.
Weisheng has made several kinds of sauces recently.
Beef sauce, egg sauce, mushroom sauce, lean pork sauce, green pepper sauce, egg sauce...
These sauces that can be used to mix noodles and rice are packed in cans and sent to the professor's building.
Bring some of the vegetables grown in the backyard with you, so that it will be convenient for you to eat when Ming Yichen and the others are not back at noon.
In the evening, Weisheng would call their office and ask what time they would get off work and whether they would be going home. If they were going home, she would prepare dinner for them. If they were not going home, she would just eat something casually.
The telephone had always been there, and it had been used even after Wu Laoliu and his family moved in. When they moved out, the government workers who took over the house didn't dismantle it, but they did take the phone and cut the line.
It was such a small thing, and Weisheng installed it in a matter of minutes. After that, he went to the telephone company to confirm the phone number and billing details, and their family's phone was put into normal use.
The initial installation cost of a phone is a thousand yuan, and then there are monthly rental fees and communication fees. So although Weisheng saved on the initial installation cost, he couldn't save on anything else.
This expense is not a burden for a dual-income family, so Weisheng did not save this money.
And life has indeed become much more convenient with the advent of the telephone.

Time flies and it’s time to go to school.
Weisheng had experience and knew the conditions of the girls' dormitories of the past two classes, so she did not choose to live on campus this time, but continued to live in the small Western-style building.
But at noon, she would go to the professor's place to eat and take a nap.
Then, since Weisheng also started eating lunch at school, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun, who used to just eat a bite at noon, no longer did so.
Later, Weisheng also had dinner here, and only returned to the small Western-style building after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
Sometimes the whole family of three goes back, and sometimes Weisheng goes back alone.
The days have no regular pattern, but they form their own rules.
However, compared to Weisheng, who worked hard to study meteorology and adapted to university life very well, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun once again realized how lucky they were after joining the faculty of Jinling University.
Many of their colleagues were persecuted during that decade and sent to the countryside for forced labor. They lived in stables like cattle and horses, and ate food even pigs wouldn't eat, enduring a decade of hardship. Some didn't even make it.
Even if some colleagues stayed in the city, their lives were even more miserable than that yellow lotus...
After hearing these things, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun knew that if they did not have their daughter and grandmother, they would probably be like most people who went abroad to study, either dying a violent death or having a miserable end.
Listening to their colleagues' memories, Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun felt that their past and present lives were no different from each other, as if they had been given away for nothing.
Occasionally, they would be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.
They dreamt of themselves dying a violent death, or of their precious children being wantonly abused and drowned in a fish pond. When they woke up, they felt relieved, but also felt that they had heard those stories too many times.
Because the dream was so tragic and unbearable, the couple never told anyone about their dream. Then, after waking up, they doted on Weisheng even more.
In her previous life, she met a father who was weird but very warm-hearted. In this life, she met a pair of parents who had positive values, good character, and loved her deeply. This made Weisheng love life more and like this world more.
In comparison, He Ling has deep hostility and disgust towards this world.
Perhaps he lost his mother too early and was abandoned too early, so he questioned all the emotions in the world. He even began to hate himself because he had the same cold blood as his father.
After school started, many girls fell in love with him because of his face, but those looks made him think of the daughter brought by his stepmother.
She also said she liked me, then sneaked into his room in the middle of the night and told him she had raped her. If I hadn't been prepared, I'd have been humiliated even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
like?
like?
Haha~
Jinling University was a large university, and the only connection between Weisheng and He Ling was Ning Chaoyun, a foreign language professor. Even so, Weisheng hardly ever saw He Ling again during his four years at university.
The two of them were at two extremes in college. Weisheng was very popular, but he had to consider Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun's face, so Weisheng had a very good image outside, and his methods of rejecting those people were also very gentle. He was known for his intellectual elegance.
He Ling was recognized by the whole department as having no quality and no manners.
Because he never cared about the girls' face when rejecting others, and was blunt and sharp in his words, over time, his "good reputation" spread.
They were both studying at Jinling University, but Weisheng only met He Ling in the professorial building after He Ling applied for a master's degree in English.
After not seeing each other for several years, He Ling and Weisheng still remembered each other. Like everyone else, Weisheng remembered He Ling for his exceptionally beautiful face. And He Ling remembered Weisheng for his generosity in lending him a pen during the college entrance exam.
During the years when He Ling was studying for a master's degree, Weisheng would often see him in the professorial building. However, after He Ling graduated and joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Weisheng rarely saw him again.
Meteorology involves too much knowledge. Even though Weisheng knew that this subject was not easy, he still persisted for his own little dream.
Anyway...she has a lifetime to study meteorology in depth.
Speaking of which, the reason why Weisheng wanted to study meteorology was because one day when he was watching a TV series that he had downloaded at some unknown time in his space, there was a Taoist priest in the series who could accurately predict natural disasters such as wind, frost, snow, rain, drought and flood.
So Weisheng wondered if she also studied meteorology, would she be able to predict wind and rain, understand drought and flood?
Just because of this idea, Weisheng plunged into meteorology.
Meteorology books are numerous and varied, spanning ancient and modern times, both Chinese and international. The sheer volume of books he had to read each semester was nearly as tall as Weisheng himself, and despite being incredibly careful about protecting his eyes, he still ended up becoming nearsighted.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
With no financial pressure and various grants and scholarships available, Weisheng continued his studies. After graduating from university, he applied for a graduate degree in his department and then a doctoral program under a professor in the department. After completing his doctorate, Weisheng applied for a government-funded study abroad program.
Weisheng applied to a school in the United States, but bought three tickets to France and took Ning Chaoyun and Ming Yichen to visit relatives in France.
A round-trip ticket to France costs 4,800 yuan, and three tickets cost more than 10,000 yuan.
Sitting on the plane to France, Ning Chaoyun was whispering to Weisheng about how expensive the plane tickets were and how little his salary was.
Back in the countryside, the family's small savings of a hundred thousand yuan were of little use. Later, when they moved to Jinling, Weisheng took care of everything, including the house.
Apart from the house, the rest was daily expenses. Weisheng covered two-thirds of their daily expenses, and the rest came from various subsidies from school. Their salary was simply not enough to cover it all.
Because of the domestic price level, Ning Chaoyun gradually felt that her family was quite wealthy, but she didn't expect that a trip to France would break her defenses.
This money is really not worth spending!
Seeing this, Weisheng advised her to relax and said that her grandmother had given him some antiques, and he could get all the money back by selling them.
Ning Chaoyun thought about how well her grandmother had treated them over the years, and her mood brightened. "After all, it's something passed down from our ancestors. We can't sell it to foreigners."
Weisheng smiled upon hearing this and leaned close to Ning Chaoyun's ear and said, "Don't be so stingy. Foreigners are very generous. If they want any antique, I can get it for them, no matter what kind."
The antique business is very complicated. If you sell a fake, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Ning Chaoyun understood what her daughter meant by "whole" and twitched her lips. In the end, she advised, "...it's enough to have enough money to spend."
We don't have to "fix" antiques to make money.
Wei Sheng didn't think so. "Don't worry, I'm not begging them to buy it. Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. If they come into my hands, I will naturally reciprocate."
Ning Chaoyun didn't say anything after hearing this, but changed the subject and talked about his brothers and sisters.
Weisheng has the original owner's memories. Before the age of ten, the original owner lived in France and had met those relatives. The impressions are still clear.
Listening to Ning Chaoyun reminiscing about the past, Weisheng could still join in a few words. Ming Yichen, who was listening nearby, also interjected a few words from time to time.
Although the long journey is tiring, it doesn’t feel boring when the family is together.
Since Weisheng was studying meteorology, Ming Yichen curiously asked Weisheng to look at the clouds outside the plane to see if he could see anything.
Wei Sheng, who was being watched by an outsider, said: "..."
After just a good sleep and a few airplane meals, the family found themselves on the streets of Paris, France.
I didn't say hello to my relatives here before coming here, so no one came to pick me up at the airport.
Weisheng and the other two first booked a suite at a hotel close to Uncle Ning's home. After unloading their luggage and making some fresh air, they went to visit Uncle Ning's family with the earthenware gift.
They arrived just in time. If they had been a day or two later, they might never have seen him again.
And this will be Ning Chaoyun's lifelong regret.
