Chapter 54 Reminder from Uncle Zheng
Ji Ling and her father got the admission letter easily.
Ji Yong held it carefully with both hands, as if holding the most precious thing in the world.
Seeing this scene, Ji Ling felt inexplicably sour and warm.
She stood quietly on the sidelines without disturbing them. Someone watched from afar and greeted them, so Ji Yong put the admission notice into his bag.
"Why are you father and daughter here?" Zheng Pingshun asked Ji Yong, but patted Ji Ling's shoulder with his hand, "Xiaoling is doing well, your aunt and I bought gifts for you, and you are here, now we Go home. That kid Zheng Shi has been refusing to come back in the county, and he said he was playing with you, and lied to me, so I won’t break his legs when he comes back.”
Ji Ling: This is feasible.
It was only then that she knew that the other party was Zheng Shi's father. In fact, their father and son looked eight points alike.
"Old Zheng, you don't go to work today?"
Zheng Pingshun laughed loudly, "You guys are here, I'm asking for leave."
"You work hard, and you are not an outsider. Why are you being polite? Let's meet again when you return to the county on vacation." Ji Yong didn't agree, and told them about their coming to collect the notice.
Zheng Pingshun laughed, "Old Ji, your tail is up to the sky now, right? I told you that your little Ling will be very successful in the future. Do you believe me now?"
"Letter." Ji Yong said.
Zheng Pingshun took out five yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into Ji Ling's hands without any explanation, "I went to the small shop across the street to buy delicious food, and it cost me everything. Uncle bought it for you. This time, your father doesn't agree with my asking for leave. Then Let’s get together again when we return to the county in a few days.”
Ji Ling couldn't laugh or cry, seeing that her father didn't stop her and let her accept it, she thanked her and walked across the street.
I thought to myself why adults nowadays like to use this trick to send people away.
Standing at the gate of the Education Bureau, Zheng Pingshun and Ji Yong saw that they were safely across the street, and then Ji Yong asked, "Tell me what's the matter? I have to send Xiao Ling away."
"Have you got Xiaoling's university admission letter?"
Ji Yong nodded.
Zheng Pingshun said seriously, "She is the number one student in the college entrance examination. Have you ever wondered why you got it so late? Did you forget?"
Ji Yong learned what Xu Wangting said on the phone, and his tone gradually slowed down, "You mean there is something else in it? If that's the case, it's impossible for my uncle not to know."
Seeing the serious expression of his good buddy, Ji Yong hesitated and stopped talking.
Zheng Pingshun said, "I have also heard something about the notice. Even if I haven't met you today, I plan to call you and talk about it. Someone should have called and suppressed it. It should be your uncle who asked about it. , the other party didn't dare to provoke your father-in-law's family, so he took his hand away."
"Xiao Ling is the number one student in the college entrance examination, how can such a big thing happen."
"As long as there are people who have money, they don't necessarily have to be the number one in the college entrance examination to report, or they can be lowered to go to a different school." Zheng Pingshun said, "Since there is nothing wrong with this matter, you just know what to do, and don't pursue it. I guess your uncle knows something, since he didn't say anything, he just doesn't want to make a big deal out of it."
Ji Yong pursed his lips and refused to answer.
"I know your temper. There is no evidence for this matter. Even if you make a big fuss, you will end up letting it go. Listen to my advice. I know you can't swallow this breath. I will secretly inquire for you. Whose family can I find?" , I can always swallow this breath when I have a chance in the future.”
Ji Yong also knows that with his family background, he can't touch the other party, or if he makes trouble, it will only make the people behind him hide deeper.
Hearing the suggestion from his good friend, Ji Yong finally nodded unwillingly.
Zheng Pingshun patted his good brother on the shoulder, which man doesn’t want to be a mountain for his wife and children, supporting everything for them, but when faced with certain things, sometimes he can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Xiao Ling met a friend?" Zheng Pingshun didn't know how to comfort his buddy, and happened to see Ji Ling talking to someone across the way, so he asked Ji Yong to look over.
Ji Yong temporarily put aside what he just did, and looked across the street.
Ji Ling didn't expect to meet Zhu Weidong again. She wanted to walk away, but Zhu Weidong stopped her.
"Wait a minute."
Ji Ling looked back at him.
Zhu Weidong still stared at her closely, looking at her from top to bottom.
Ji Ling: .
Just as she was about to raise her leg again, she stopped again.
Zhu Weidong reached into his pocket, took out her handkerchief, and handed it to her.
"this is yours."
Ji Ling: "Are you serious?"
Breeze blowing, summer should be a refreshing feeling, but Zhu Weidong felt a little cold, the little girl in front of him stared at him with black eyes, as if he would tear him apart if he opened his mouth.
Zhu Weidong: Is there something wrong? Just now he checked the clothes again and again, and he did not identify the wrong person.
But the little girl's eyes were a little scary, he hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Zhu Weidong thought that he had indeed admitted the wrong person, put the handkerchief back in his pocket, nodded apologetically, turned around and strode away.
Ji Ling: You know how to play!
After living two lifetimes, she was getting more and more confused by Zhu Weidong, and she really couldn't guess what he was going to do.
Every time I meet him, he is always inexplicable and confusing.
When she returned to her father, Ji Ling was still a little dazed. When her father asked who it was, she only said that she was asking for directions, but didn't say much.
When separated from Zheng Pingshun, Zheng Pingshun also asked her to help watch Zheng Shi, and Ji Ling readily agreed.
On the way back, Ji Ling saw that her father was absent-minded, but from a child's point of view, she didn't have to worry about adults' affairs.
In Xu’s house, when Ji Yong’s father and daughter came back, Xu’s father, who usually went out for a walk, didn’t go out today. When he saw the admission notice Ji Yong handed over, there was a rare smile on his serious and rigid face.
"good."
Although there are only two short words, it can be seen that he is happy.
Mother Xu winked her daughter's eyes, and the corners of Xu Fang's mouth twitched.
Ji Ke was at the side, leaning over to squeeze in front of Xu's mother. After seeing the notice, she pouted, "I really want to go to school in Kyoto."
"That can't be done, the volunteer application is over, and the major you choose is still the best in our province." Xu Mu said.
Father Xu nodded.
Xu Fang didn't speak for a moment when she saw the disappointment on her little daughter's face.
Ji Jianhua went back to work in the factory in the morning, and Xu Wangting also went to work. Xu Hongmei said something was going on, and as soon as she left, her two children followed her. After lunch at Xu's house, Ji Yong's family of four got on the bus and went back to the county.
On the road, the husband and wife sat in the back row, and the two daughters sat in the front. Xu Fang suddenly sighed.
"It would be great if Xiao Ke also went to college in Kyoto, and the two sisters also have someone to take care of."
After waiting for a long time but her husband didn't answer, Xu Fang looked up and saw her husband staring out the window in a daze, she pushed him, "What are you thinking?"
Ji Yong came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"
Xu Fang looked at him squarely, "Today you and Ji Ling went to pick up the notice and came back with something on your mind. It's not easy for me to ask at my mother's house. What happened?"
Ji Yong thought of his wife's prejudice against the eldest daughter, and thought that the relationship had just warmed up. If he told the matter, the wife would be ashamed and angry, and she would definitely bring her anger to the eldest daughter.
He shook his head and said with a smile, "I just think that the three children will leave me, and I feel that we are getting old."
Xu Fang froze for a moment, laughed lowly, and twisted his waist, "A man is still worried about getting old, you are really promising."
Looking at the smile on his wife's face, Ji Yong felt that it was a right choice to hide the matter.
