Chapter 1485 New Version of Xianglin Sao

February 16, 1978 was the first day of school. Suning went to Shanghai a day in advance. Huang Ling and the two children naturally said goodbye to him reluctantly at the train station.

However, what Suning did not expect was that Zhuang's father and mother also came, but Suning did not give them a good look.

Because Suning knows that they cannot be treated well. They have long been accustomed to exploiting their eldest son and will definitely not give up this cash cow next time.

Being soft-hearted for a moment will only harm others and yourself. Su Ning will never do such a stupid thing, and will never indulge them like his original self did.

Just before Suning entered the ticket gate, he suddenly looked at Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting and said, "Tunan, Xiaoting, Daddy is waiting for you in Shanghai. There's not only Fudan University in Shanghai, but also Tongji University and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. I hope you can all go to college like Daddy."

Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting nodded their heads earnestly and said, "Dad, we will definitely get into college."

"Okay! Daddy has great confidence in you. Also, you must take good care of your mother and never make her angry."

"Dad, we got it."

In the original drama, Zhuang Chaoying was very eager to go to college. The fact that he was crazy about instilling this idea into Zhuang Tunan at the beginning was proof of that. Now, Zhuang Chaoying's dream has been realized by Suning in another way.

Then Suning walked into the ticket gate resolutely. It was impossible for him to have any attachment to Huang Ling. Originally, his marriage with Huang Ling was a blind marriage.

To be honest, the marriage status of Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling in the original drama was not good, and it was really not as good as the relationship between Lin Wufeng and Song Ying next door. After all, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying have always discussed and respected each other.

It feels like there is an awkward situation between Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling, as they are talking at cross purposes. Neither of them can understand the other, and when a conflict arises neither of them can convince the other.

Only then did Huang Ling feign surprise and look at Zhuang's parents, "Mom and Dad, why are you here too?"

"Hmph! Huang Ling, how did Chaoying become like this now? Did you instigate him?" However, Huang Ling's question was met with questioning and complaints from Zhuang's father and mother.

Huang Ling then looked at Zhuang's father and mother with a face full of grievance and explained, "Dad, Mom, how can you speculate about me like this? I don't want him to go to college, but it's no use what I said!"

Of course, what Zhuang's parents couldn't accept the most was Su Ning's ruthlessness. They first thought of their own interests and asked, "Why doesn't he care about our affairs anymore?"

"Chaoying doesn't even want to work anymore, and he doesn't care about his wife and children. How can you expect him to take care of you now?"

"This……"

Huang Ling couldn't help but burst into tears when she said this. She felt that marrying such a man was really unfair. "Mom and Dad, what should I do in the future? Tunan and Xiaoting are still so young. How can I support them with my salary alone?"

"Hmph! Who made you unable to capture Chaoying's heart? I think you deserve it now!" As expected, Zhuang's father and mother did not want to get into trouble and immediately busied themselves with shirking responsibility.

"..."

At this time, Huang Ling listened to the vicious words of Zhuang's father and mother, and looked at the resolute and ruthless backs of the old couple. Huang Ling, who had long been disappointed with them, did not feel much.

If anyone is to blame, it should be her own fault for not choosing the right man. Zhuang Chaoying used to be very foolishly filial and cowardly, but now Suning is extremely selfish.

At this time, Huang Ling was completely disappointed with her marriage, but looking at the well-behaved Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting beside her, Huang Ling could only force herself to live for her children again.

After Huang Ling brought Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting back to the cotton mill, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng immediately looked at Huang Ling with concern, "Sister Ling, is Teacher Zhuang really gone just like that?"

"Yes! I just sent him on the train." Huang Ling responded expressionlessly. Suning's ruthlessness was not enough to make her sad.

Then Song Ying once again expressed the strange feeling she had over the past few days, "Sister Ling, Teacher Zhuang's behavior was very strange a while ago, as if he was deliberately explaining something."

"I already knew it in my mind. Zhuang Chaoying is like a kite with a broken string. No one can tell where he will end up."

Song Ying looked at the poor woman in front of her with some pity, "Sister Ling, you really have such a hard life."

"It's not hard at all! I'm so happy just looking at Tuanan and Xiaoting every day." However, Huang Ling pretended to be strong and looked at the two children beside her.

"That's right! Sister Ling, your Tunan and Xiaoting are so well-behaved. Sometimes I really want to trade sons with yours."

"Hmph! You're so beautiful."

"Ha ha……"

Lin Dongzhe is really very naughty. Now that Zhuang Tunan is at school and not at home, Lin Dongzhe naturally plays with other children. As a result, he is laughed at by other children for having holes in his pants.

Of course, Lin Dongzhe, who inherited Song Ying's violent gene, almost got into a fight with the other kids. Then Lin Dongzhe was playing alone on the dirt pile. When Song Ying saw this, she quickly took him home and cleaned him up.

It was just that she had just cleaned Lin Dongzhe, but he turned into a naughty monkey again without her noticing, which naturally made Song Ying feel like crying but unable to do so.

Now Song Ying really misses Zhuang Tunan. When Zhuang Tunan was at home, he took good care of Lin Dongzhe.

……

However, the Suzhou Cotton Mill after Suning left remained unchanged and had no impact on the mill. After all, everyone was still most concerned about their three meals a day and food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As the days passed, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying also learned some things about the banker. After all, they all lived in the same yard, and it was impossible for them not to know even if they wanted to.

The nephews of the Zhuang family came here a few days ago. They wanted to use the public toilet, but they felt it was too far away and the weather was very cold, so they were a little disgusted and went straight home. It can be seen how shameless the second son of the Zhuang family is.

Suning beat him so badly at the beginning, but he still couldn't forget to run over and take advantage of him. Naturally, this refreshed Suning's understanding of human nature.

Song Ying, who understood the trivialities of the Zhuang family, stood up for Huang Ling. She and Lin Wufeng could both see it, "Sister Ling, you are really a good person. You haven't enjoyed much happiness following Teacher Zhuang."

When thinking about the hardship she had during these years, Huang Ling could not help but become an indignant Xianglin Sao. "Hey! You don't understand! Zhuang Chaoying always compares me to the hard times she had as a child, thinking that I just don't know how to appreciate the blessings I have."

"Hmph! I just can't stand men talking nonsense like that. If Lin Wufeng dares to talk like that, I will beat him to a pulp." Song Ying, who had a hot temper, couldn't stand Zhuang Chaoying's words and thoughts. She never thought that the gentle man would be such a scumbag.

Lin Wufeng, who was eating melons on the side, was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the melon would be eaten by himself. "Huh? Song Ying, what does this have to do with me?"

"Lin Wufeng, you'd better not be a heartless man like Teacher Zhuang, or I will make you live a life worse than death."

"Uh...crazy!" In fact, in the original drama, Zhuang Chaoying believed that he had to rely on his parents to borrow money from others to finish school, and Huang Ling's family conditions were relatively better, so he could not understand his hardship at all. Now that his life is a little better, he wants to help the family, but Huang Ling is unhappy, so the two quarreled because of this.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhuang Chaoying has never respected Huang Ling. He only cares about his own face and likes to enjoy the feeling that his parents and brothers depend on him. In the final analysis, he is still a selfish waste.

Then Song Ying stopped paying attention to Lin Wufeng and looked at Huang Ling and said, "Sister Ling, we all understand you. Take the case of the Wu family next door as an example. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. No mother wants to see her children suffer. One generation takes care of the next generation. You, as a wife and daughter-in-law, can suffer, but you definitely don't want Tunan and Xiaoting to suffer with you. It's a pity that Teacher Zhuang doesn't understand you at all."

"That's right! I'm in this state now. If I want to be a good wife and a good daughter-in-law, I will definitely harm the interests of Tunan and Xiaoting, so it doesn't matter if I become a bad person for the sake of the two children."

"..."

In fact, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng could only persuade Huang Ling a few words at most. After all, these were Huang Ling's own family affairs, and as outsiders, they could not play much of a key role.

In the following days, the relationship between the two families became closer and closer. Song Ying's boldness and Huang Ling's tolerance were perfectly combined, and they became the best pair of confidants in the cotton mill.

……

After the Chinese New Year, Grandpa Zhang's family suddenly bought a TV, and it was the first TV in the cotton mill, so they could watch the news broadcast. Lin Dongzhe liked to watch the pictures in it, so he went to Grandpa Zhang's house to watch it every day.

Although he couldn't understand it, he still liked to watch it because the TV showed a bizarre world.

But if he always went there, it would inevitably make the other family unhappy. Lin Dongzhe also had a bad temper, so he got up and left.

When she got home, she complained about this to her parents and asked them to buy her a TV as well. Song Ying couldn't bear to see her child suffer, so she agreed to buy the TV.

Buying a TV was not a small matter in that era, but Song Ying was determined to save money and said she would buy it when she saved enough.

Lin Dongzhe was surprised to think that when he had a TV at home, he would invite all his good friends in the neighborhood to watch TV, unlike Grandpa Zhang's family who were so stingy.

Huang Ling, who had overheard the Lin family's conversation next door, asked in confusion, "Song Ying, I heard you were going to buy a TV for Lin Dongzhe?"

"Yes! I just can't bear to see my son being wronged. I will buy it when I save enough money." Song Ying was filled with indignation when she thought of what happened to her precious son.

Huang Ling then disapproved and advised Song Ying, "I advise you not to buy it. After all, having a TV will affect your studies."

"This..." As expected, Song Ying was a little confused by what Huang Ling said.

"Besides, your Dongzhe is already very naughty. If he has a TV, how can you and Wu Feng control him?"

"Hey! Are we really going to break the contract with our child like this?"

"What are you afraid of? Dongzhe can't beat you anyway."

"Haha, it seems to be true?"

……

Suning was not excited at all about entering university again. After all, he just wanted to get away from that suffocating family. As time went on, Suning and Huang Ling's marriage would be in name only.

In addition, the college students in the grades of 1977 and 1978 are over the age limit. Most of them are married, and some female students even have to think about feeding their children while taking exams.

Of course, this is the misfortune and sorrow of an era. Chinese people understand this, so the author will not elaborate on it here.

Naturally, Suning became a celebrity at Fudan University. Many people expressed their curiosity about him. "Zhuang Chaoying, I heard you scored a perfect 500 on the college entrance exam?"

"Yes! I became a high school math teacher right after graduating from technical secondary school, so I had a much better chance than many of my classmates."

"That's pretty impressive! Why didn't you choose Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"Fudan University's mathematics program is a top-tier one in China, but I feel like Tsinghua and Peking University are just so-so."

"Zhuang Chaoying, you're wrong! Fudan University is still not as good as Tsinghua and Peking University. Even studying abroad doesn't have the same advantages as Tsinghua and Peking University."

"What about you? You should be married already, right?"

"I got married! But she's a country girl. We had no feelings for each other at all. I divorced her before I came to Shanghai to attend university."

"..."At this moment, Suning immediately thought of the "Eighteen Donkeys of Fudan" in later generations.

"Ahem," Su Ning suddenly thought that he seemed to be one of the Fudan students now, and he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and then he didn't say anything more about this topic.

However, what happened today is also a reminder for me that I should not talk about family matters with my classmates anymore. There are many people like Chen Shimei who abandon their wives and children nowadays.

Suning studies hard in school every day, and he doesn't have much interest in Shanghai at that time. It would be better for him to focus all his energy on studying.

Although Suning has had many university experiences, his study and research in mathematics is not in-depth, so he still has to work harder on weekdays.

Of course, Suning has also considered shortening the four-year undergraduate curriculum, but after all, the college entrance examination has just been resumed, and universities do not have much experience in this regard, so we will have to wait at least one or two years before making a decision.

The professor of mathematics suddenly approached Su Ning and invited him, "Zhuang Chaoying, I'm going to write a math paper soon. Are you interested in helping me?"

"Professor Wu, of course I'm happy to do that. If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."

"Well, then prove this formula again. Remember to be as detailed as possible."

"Okay! Professor Wu, I know what to do."

"Well, take your time! There's no need to rush. Tell me if you need any information and I'll get it from the library for you."

"Yes! Professor Wu."
