Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 648 The place I wanted to escape from became a place I envied (Monthly Ticket Plus)

Not only Fang Yan didn't believe it, but other people in the family who knew Fang Ning also didn't believe it.

What kind of personality is she?

Would you go to Shanghai to study for love?
In fact, everyone can guess that she just wants to be farther away from home to avoid being controlled.

It's just that saying this hurts my parents' feelings.

But what Dad and the others want is not the correct answer.

This is just an explanation.

Everyone waited for her at home for such a long time and always wanted to know why she was admitted to Fudan University.

Now I know the "reason".

It can be considered as an explanation to everyone.

Fang Ning was very panicked at the moment, she couldn't help but say:

"He's not the educated youth who joined the team with me, but a pen pal of mine. I met him when I was in Beijing."

"We have been talking about this for a long time, so when the college entrance examination was resumed this time, I filled in that area without hesitation."

"I just didn't expect that I would pass the test."

In this era, pen pals are a very popular way to make friends. People make friends through exchanging letters, sharing their lives and exchanging ideas.

In an era without communication tools such as the Internet and mobile phones, letters were one of the ways people communicated over long distances.

In fact, people of every generation have a strong desire for knowledge and cultural exchanges, and are eager to understand the cultural life of different regions. By becoming pen pals with people from different places, this curiosity and thirst for knowledge can be satisfied.

Through pen pals, people can get to know people from different backgrounds beyond geographical boundaries and enrich their lives.

Some magazines and newspapers also provide people with this channel.

Many youth magazines and literary publications have special pen pal columns to publish pen pals' information, including their names, hobbies, and even their photos.

In addition, there are some exchange activities organized by the school, which allow young students to establish connections with classmates from other schools and then develop pen pal relationships, sharing learning experiences and interesting life stories.

In this era, there are indeed stories about male and female pen pals who have been in contact for many years and then develop into partners as they grow older, so my second sister’s story is not completely made up.

In short, the writing phenomenon of this era is a unique cultural landscape of the era. It contains people's emotions and memories, just like chatting on WeChat in the Internet era of later generations. It is a very common social phenomenon.

Everyone knows what kind of person Fang Ning is.

He said that a fellow educated youth in the same team had challenged her and said that she would not be admitted to Fudan University, so she got angry and insisted on applying to Fudan University, and she was admitted.

Everyone must believe this because she is just that kind of person.

It is indeed possible to do so.

But she said it was because of love...

How can it be?

If it were her, she would definitely ask her pen pal there to come to Beijing and would never compromise.

"Well, if that's the case, it's nothing. After all, you are so old, it's reasonable for you to want to date." Dad nodded without further investigation.

This made Fang Ning a little surprised. He really didn't expect that his lie would be believed by his father so quickly.

I didn't even question it from beginning to end.

Only Fangyan knew that his father was just going through the motions and covering up the matter in front of the entire family.

This is the end of the investigation into my second daughter's decision to go to university in Shanghai.

As for whether what she said was true or false, Dad was too lazy to pursue it.

"If you are not stupid or deaf, you won't be a householder."

In "Zizhi Tongjian", this sentence was said by Emperor Daizong of Tang to Guo Ziyi, and now it is also used by my father.

As an elder, when dealing with household chores, sometimes you need to play dumb and not be too serious. For example, if you really take today's matter seriously, dig deep and get to the bottom of it, the truth will eventually turn into a big conflict, and Fang Ning himself might be embarrassed to come back after that.

This is also a way to demonstrate wisdom, tolerance and understanding, maintain family harmony, and at the same time cultivate the younger generation's ability to solve problems independently.

The other people in the family were also smart people. Seeing that their father did not pursue the matter, the eldest sister immediately smiled and said to the second sister:
"Since you are pursuing love, then of course it is correct, but you have to be careful when judging people. The real person and the letter will not be the same."

At this time, the younger brother also took over the conversation:
"That's right. For example, in the stories I wrote, I would more or less glamorize the protagonist. When my readers wrote to me, they always associated me with the protagonist I wrote about, thinking that I was such a perfect person. I felt a little embarrassed."

The second sister Fang Ning was amused by her younger brother's self-deprecation. She immediately felt the pressure eased.

At this time, the old lady said to her:
"But if the person is really suitable, bring him back to us next summer vacation."

Fang Ning nodded awkwardly after hearing what his mother said.

At this time, only Fangyan was left speechless. He thought for a moment and said:

"Second sister, it's good for you to go to Shanghai. I may fly to Shanghai frequently. You can learn about the place first and then be my tour guide."

"Hmm? Aren't you studying in Beijing? Why do you fly to Shanghai so often?"

"After college, I need to do some academic research on Chinese medicine. Shanghai is a gathering place for Chinese medicine practitioners in the south, so I may fly there with my teacher. Shanghai is also close to Nantong, so I have to visit Uncle Liangchun when I go there."

Fang Yan had mentioned Zhu Liangchun's matter during the previous meal, so Fang Ning also thought about it and nodded thoughtfully.

Fang Ning nodded and said:
"Okay, then when you come, I will definitely treat you well."

At this time, Zhu Lin, who was making tea, also came out and handed a cup of brewed black tea to Fang Ning.

Fang Ning was immediately attracted by the scent of honey.

"This is the tea that the guests sent to us when we got married. There are many kinds of tea. This one is called Keemun black tea. I found it to be the most fragrant, so I made a cup for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Fang Ning took it with both hands, then took a sip and found that it was indeed very fragrant.

It's much more fragrant than jasmine tea.

Then everyone at the table changed the topic and talked about other things. Fang Ning drank his tea and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We finally finished dinner at nine o'clock.

At this time, the other people in the family also took out the gifts they had prepared for Fang Ning.

Fang Ning saw the food, clothing and daily necessities given by the family and stuffed into his hands, and he felt the warmth of this big family.

For a moment, she was a little dazed and suddenly felt that her decision to go to Shanghai to study at university away from her family was not the right one.

At this time, Zhu Lin was trying on the tweed coat he bought for his second sister, and it looked quite suitable.

Fang Ning felt embarrassed. Such a woolen coat didn't look cheap, and she only brought back some local specialties.

Even the wedding gift she prepared for Fang Yan and his wife was just a handmade gift she made herself. She didn't even have the courage to take it out at the moment.

Fang Ning, who had always been proud, suddenly felt a little inferior.

This is not only a comparison of monetary value, but also a comparison of who cares more about whom in "family affection".

At this time Fang Yan also said to the second sister:

"Second sister, get up early tomorrow morning so I can feel your pulse. You've been away for so long, and your life hasn't been very good. Plus, you were sick a while ago. I'll take good care of you while you're at home during the New Year."

"Try to get your body back in good shape before you go to Shanghai."

After hearing this, Fang Ning nodded awkwardly and said "hmm".

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the home she wanted to escape from was far from what she had imagined.

Now, after the third child returned to the city, this big family has been brought together again, and everyone lives a very happy life. Everyone can pursue the life they want.

Now the parents don’t have to worry about anything, and they can even often be proud of their children and enjoy the envious looks of others.

My eldest sister has a harmonious family, a capable husband, and smart and lovely children.

I have my own reputation and achievements.

The third brother, the client, has achieved even more success. He went to Shanghai to study international politics, and now he is helping the country to connect with overseas Chinese businessmen and attract foreign investment back home.

The third brother is already doing what he wanted to do, and he is doing quite well. He has two buildings, investment funds attracted by the school, and even follow-up ambulances, defibrillators and so on. There may be more in the future.

The connections involved here are something I would never have been able to encounter if I were studying in Shanghai.

Now it seems that the place I wanted to escape from has become the place I envy and long for.

For a moment, Fang Ning felt mixed emotions.

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 103000 words.

There will be more updates in the afternoon.
