Chapter 1490 The man of the hour
The times are like a wheel rolling forward. Everyone's life is getting better and better, and the goods on the streets are becoming more and more abundant.

Huang Ling and Song Ying finally no longer have to eat snake melons. They can grow other vegetables to eat, and they can also supplement their family income by growing vegetables. Now Huang Ling and Song Ying are already enjoying it.

Yiming also obtained a business license for an individual merchant, and was finally able to do business openly. This also marked the beginning of his struggle in the great era.

After he told Lin Wufeng the good news, Lin Wufeng was naturally very happy for him. After all, this was a rare way out.

Song Ying was still a little surprised when she heard the news. Restricting individual businesses had become a consensus among everyone. "Wu Feng, did Yiming really get a license for an individual business owner?"

Thinking about the previous crackdowns on self-employed individuals, even Lin Wufeng found it hard to understand. "Right! I didn't expect the current policies to change so quickly. I couldn't even imagine such a thing before."

"But I still feel that a formal job is a guaranteed income." However, Song Ying is very satisfied with her current life.

"Of course! Everyone's life is getting better now, and stable jobs are definitely becoming more and more valuable."

Yiming came to Huang Ling and Song Ying specifically in the evening, wanting them to help him knit a sweater, which he would then sell. He simply paid a deposit of 50 and left.

You have to know that the technicians in the cotton mill are all very good. Yiming is doing this to make a living from the mountain and the sea. Naturally, he has to make a profit from the cotton mill, which is a treasure trove.

After Yiming left, Song Ying looked at Huang Ling in disbelief, "Sister Ling, slap me and see if I'm dreaming."

"Song Ying, you are not dreaming, these are really five big unity notes." Huang Ling also looked at the five big unity notes on the table with surprise.

At this moment, Song Ying couldn't help but feel excited. "Is this really the case? Is it really that profitable?"

"Of course! Haven't you seen that Yiming's temperament has changed?"

"Yeah! I'm so moved now."

After Yiming made some money, he first bought a watch for Lin Wufeng. Lin Wufeng and Song Ying didn't want it, but Yiming forced it on them.

If Lin Wufeng had not taken out his watch to bribe the joint defense personnel, Yiming and Xiangyang might have been sent to the police station, and they would not be able to live the comfortable and free life they have now.

So Yiming and Xiangyang are both very grateful to Lin Wufeng. Xiangyang has been repaying Lin Wufeng by studying and working hard, while Yiming has always been obsessed with the watch, so he returned the watch to Lin Wufeng as soon as possible.

……

The children in the small courtyard were all influenced by Zhuang Tunan, because Zhuang Tunan often borrowed books from the school library for them to read, and the whole alley was filled with the fragrance of books.

After reading the book borrowed by Zhuang Tunan, Wu Shanshan couldn't help but change her mind. She originally only wanted to apply to a technical secondary school, but now she aspires to a better school because the books in the school cannot be easily bought or borrowed outside.

The same goes for Song Ying. Although she is not well educated, after reading those books, it was as if the door to a new world had opened. Many things that she didn't understand before were now understood. She also fell in love with poetry, and those beautiful sentences always lingered in her mind.

Huang Ling began to observe the relationship between Zhuang Tunan and Wu Shanshan, and found that Wu Shanshan always came to Zhuang Tunan to borrow books, and the two would discuss the story together. Huang Ling was worried that they were in adolescence now and that premature love would occur between the two children.

For this reason, Huang Ling even called Suning for help, hoping that Suning would persuade Zhuang Tunan not to fall in love too early. After all, Zhuang Tunan now trusts Suning very much.

However, Su Ning seemed unconcerned and advised, "Huang Ling, you're worrying too much. We can't break this window paper now. The two children may not know what's going on yet. If they find out, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

"It's so easy for you to say! All my hopes are on Tunan now, so I naturally don't want him to do anything wrong." But Huang Ling still didn't dare to gamble with Zhuang Tunan's future. After all, premature love is like a Pandora's box containing the devil.

Seeing that Huang Ling was still stubborn and couldn't get over it, Su Ning reminded Huang Ling to think about the consequences. "Huang Ling, have you ever thought about this? If the two children are just normal friends and you suddenly explain this to them, it might be difficult for them to get along, right?"

"What should we do then?" Huang Ling asked Suning depressedly on the phone.

Then Suning expressed his own opinion, "Puppy love is not the prehistoric beast you imagine. Even if they really fall in love, it's not a big deal."

"Nonsense! Premature love will definitely affect Tunan's studies." Sure enough, Huang Ling considered Suning's point of view to be irresponsible.

"Not necessarily! Humans need emotional support. The heavy workload of study and life is also very stressful, so it's good to find an appropriate outlet for emotions."

Huang Ling vented her anger and hung up the phone. "What a heresy! I shouldn't have called you."

"..."

Suning really doesn't think there's anything wrong with being in love. It's more of a mutual affection that sprouts during adolescence. It's also good for both parties to leave each other with such a beautiful memory of adolescence.

But now Huang Ling is too dependent on Zhuang Tunan. Even in the original drama, she placed all her hopes on Zhuang Tunan's studies, and the tension she showed was suffocating.

In addition, Su Ning's time travel this time led to his divorce from Huang Ling. Huang Ling, who felt insecure, became even more crazy. Any movement of Zhuang Tunan would cause Huang Ling's strong reaction.

One day, Huang Ling saw Wu Shanshan coming to the house again to borrow notes from Zhuang Tunan, so she took the time to go to Old Wu's house. In fact, she wanted to indirectly remind Old Wu and Zhang A'mei to pay attention to the impact. She was just worried that the two children would really fall in love prematurely.

But after communication, it was discovered that Zhang A-mei's implicit meaning was that she was planning for her daughter Xiaomin. She also planned to use one of Lao Wu's places, and even considered Xiaomin's career direction.

As for the mention of Wu Shanshan, he seemed very casual. He kept saying that Wu Shanshan had good academic performance and there was no need to worry about her. She could just finish junior college and choose any major, and then find someone she could get along with and marry.

Huang Ling also saw that Old Wu had a lot of grievances in his heart, but as an outsider, it was not easy for her to say too much. After all, these were other people's family affairs.

Seeing that Wu Shanshan was treated differently, Huang Ling's mentality softened again. She realized that Wu Shanshan still lacked the love of her parents, and swallowed back all the prepared remarks.

But after hearing what Zhang A'mei said, Wu Shanshan felt sad and aggrieved and started sobbing. She was still thinking of applying to No. 1 Middle School, but Zhang A'mei did not want to support her to continue her studies, thinking that she might not be able to get into university after graduating from high school.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Huang Ling comforted Wu Shanshan, "Shanshan, you have to learn to look forward. If you really want to go to high school, then find a way to fight for it. There's no point in complaining here."

"Auntie Ling, can I really do this?" Wu Shanshan then looked up at Huang Ling in front of her and asked.

However, Huang Ling was also influenced by Song Ying, and some of her words and thoughts became quite tricky. "You should ask why you can't?" "I..."

"Shanshan, we only have one life to live. Don't leave any regrets for yourself. Just stride forward towards your goal."

Then Wu Shanshan was still worried about her parents' obstruction. After all, she still had to be under their protection. "But what if my dad and mom don't agree?"

Huang Ling suddenly reminded Wu Shanshan, as this kind of rash behavior is common among many parents. "So you have to be careful about them changing your preferences. Also, as long as you get into high school, they can only passively accept it. They want to make high school admission a fait accompli."

"Aunt Ling, thank you! I will definitely study hard."

"That's good! Auntie is waiting for your good news."

After leaving the Wu family, Huang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly. She originally wanted to remind Wu Shanshan not to fall in love with Zhuang Tunan too early, but unexpectedly she suddenly turned into a caring aunt.

However, Huang Ling did think that Wu Shanshan and her brother were too pitiful. Ever since their father married them a stepmother, his father also became their stepfather. Their lives were definitely the worst for the brother and sister in the cotton mill.

……

Suning is now a celebrity at Fudan University. He was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University with a perfect score of 500, and then he collaborated with his tutor to publish a series of academic papers.

He completed four years of university courses in just one year and was successfully admitted to Fudan University as a master's student. It is said that he is now preparing to take the entrance exam for a doctorate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. He is truly a prodigy in the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University in Shanghai.

A female classmate looked at Su Ning beside her with a smile on her face and asked, "Senior, I heard you are also from Suzhou, right?"

"Yes! I used to be a math teacher in a middle school in Suzhou." Su Ning looked up at the other person and explained casually.

The female classmates at this moment naturally looked at Su Ning with admiration and worship, "You are really amazing! You can actually complete the university course in such a short time."

"It's OK! The main thing is that university courses aren't too complicated. As long as you can apply what you have learned to other areas, it's easy."

Then the female classmate curiously asked about Suning's study abroad, "So, senior, are you really going to study abroad at MIT?"

"Yes! We are preparing for this right now. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, my math papers have been published in international journals."

"Senior, I wish you success in getting the admission letter from MIT."

"Thank you."

Then the female classmate looked at Suning and invited him, "Then I wonder if I have the honor of treating you to a meal?"

"No need to eat! After all, my schedule is very full now, and I have to do research with Professor Qiu later." It's a pity that Su Ning didn't know how to be gentle with women and refused.

"Okay then! Once you get your acceptance letter from MIT, I'll invite you out for dinner."

"it is good."

Suning has long been accustomed to this kind of chatting up from female classmates. After all, he is a celebrity at Fudan University, and his youthful appearance makes him the absolute school idol on campus.

So many female classmates wanted to get close to Suning, but unfortunately Suning had no interest in these suitors and believed that women would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword.

No! It should affect your motivation to move forward.

College life is quite boring. Fortunately, Suning has long passed the stage of being obsessed with girls, otherwise he might really lose control and have a campus romance.

Professor Qiu was also very surprised to see this student. He did not expect that Suning could complete his university studies in just one year and successfully passed the entrance examination for a master's degree at Fudan University.

Professor Qiu looked at Su Ning in confusion and asked, "Chaoying, how is your application to study abroad going?"

"Everything is ready, and all the application materials have been submitted." Su Ning briefly explained the situation to Professor Qiu.

Professor Qiu also looked at Su Ning with satisfaction and nodded, "That's good! You don't have any problems with your English. It all depends on the situation at MIT."

"Do your best and obey destiny."

"Haha, Chaoying, don't worry too much. You're no unknown figure in the international mathematical academic community. MIT should be eager to accept your application."

"I hope so! If it weren't for the fact that this "sea turtle" identity is really tempting, I wouldn't want to go abroad to eat bread and drink milk."

"Haha, that's enough! Stop trying to act like a good kid and take advantage of the situation. Make good preparations these few days. For example, take care of things at home as much as possible. It won't be easy to come back after leaving the country."

Then Su Ning casually introduced his own situation. Family affairs had long ceased to be a burden to him. "Professor, that's right! But I've divorced my ex-wife, and my children are raised by her. I don't need to worry too much about family matters."

"Oh? You are divorced too?" Professor Qiu was surprised when he heard this for the first time.

"I can't help it! I've been studying away from home for years, and it's really hard to take care of things at home."

"Indeed! This is a common problem among you students from grades 77 and 78."

Situations like Suning's are very common in this era. The original combination was a tragedy of the times. Now that they can break free from the shackles, it is natural for them to want to fly away.

In addition, university is a very inclusive small society, so Professor Qiu and others are not surprised. They pay more attention to the academic accomplishment of students.
