Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1086: The banker is causing trouble again?

In the evening, in the cotton mill family lane.

Song Ying and Huang Ling were feeling a little restless in the courtyard until they heard a loud voice shouting: Dad, Uncle Zhuang, hurry up, I'm starving.

"came back."

"They're back."

Soon, Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei chased each other into the courtyard, and Song Ying and Huang Ling both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Dongzhe, where are your father, Uncle Zhuang, and Xiaoting?"

"They are all behind us. They are walking too slowly. Mom, is there anything to eat? We are starving on the way."

Song Ying and Huang Ling hurried to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Soon Lin Wufeng and the others also arrived home. They were all hungry, so they sat down and started to feast on the food.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Song Ying and Huang Ling hurriedly asked about Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan's situation in Shanghai.

Lin Dongzhe was quick to reveal: "Brother Hao and Brother Tunan are living very well in Shanghai. They have four people in a dormitory, and the food in the cafeteria tastes very good. They can eat a variety of dishes from all over the world."

Xiang Pengfei added: "Aunt, Tongji University is very big. The playground is ten times the size of its affiliated high schools. There are also basketball courts, football fields... Oh, and volleyball courts."

Zhuang Xiaoting also joined in: "There are also cinemas and libraries. You can watch movies right in school. There are also a lot of books in the library. I used to think that No. 1 Middle School had enough books, but compared with Tongji's library, they are nothing."

"Really? It's indeed a prestigious university." Song Ying and Huang Ling's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Zhuang Chaoying took the opportunity to say to Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei: "Now you know the benefits of a key university, right? If you work hard and get good grades in the college entrance examination, you can enjoy these benefits too."

"Okay, Dad, I will try my best." Zhuang Xiaoting nodded obediently.

Xiang Pengfei could only focus on eating, as he couldn't even think about going to a key university.

Seeing this, Song Ying also looked at Lin Dongzhe: "You should learn from Xiaoting and stop thinking about playing all day long."

"Mom, I get it. I will study hard." Lin Dongzhe lamented. From now on, he would have to say goodbye to comic books and video halls.

Lin Wufeng secretly winked at Song Ying, thinking that too much is as bad as too little, for fear that his wife might push Lin Dongzhe too hard and cause him to rebel.

After dinner, the children all complained that they were tired, so they washed up early and fell asleep.

Only then did Song Ying have the opportunity to ask Lin Wufeng about the specific situation.

"Haozi talked to Dongzhe alone for a while. I'm not sure what they talked about, but Dongzhe's attitude has indeed changed. Let's see what he actually does. If it doesn't work, we can think of a solution."

Song Ying sighed: "Alas, I have tried my best anyway. If it still doesn't work, it can only mean that Dongzhe is not destined to study."

Just when Song Ying was about to lie down to sleep, she was pulled up by Lin Wufeng, who even sneaked a few glances into Lin Dongzhe's room in a sly manner.

"What do you want to do? Aren't you tired after the long journey?" Song Ying patted Lin Wufeng embarrassedly.

Seeing that Song Ying had misunderstood, Lin Wufeng laughed: "Don't make trouble, I have something to tell you, about Haozi."

Song Ying then realized that she had made a mistake and her face turned even redder: "You should have said so earlier."

Lin Wufeng chuckled and said, "But if you're interested, it's not impossible."

"Hate it. Do you have any sense of propriety? Let's get down to business." Song Ying glared at Lin Wufeng angrily.

Lin Wufeng then sat up straight and said in a low voice: "Haozi seems to be in love."

"Really? Where is that girl from? What does she look like? Is she pretty?"

Facing Song Ying's series of questions, Lin Wufeng laughed: "You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

"Stop talking nonsense, answer one by one, speak quickly."

Lin Wufeng had no choice but to describe Li Jia's appearance. The more Song Ying listened, the more she regretted: "If I had known, I shouldn't have saved that ticket and should have gone with you guys."

"There will be opportunities in the future. I think Haozi is serious about that girl."

Song Ying raised her chin proudly: "Of course, our Haozi has been the most responsible since he was young."

As he was talking, Lin Wufeng suddenly remembered something and took out the women's watch he bought for Song Ying from his bag.

"This watch is very expensive, isn't it? Where did you get the money to buy this?"

"The factory gave out some bonuses on New Year's Day, plus what I saved, it was just enough."

Song Ying looked at the lights again and again, feeling extremely happy, but she said, "Don't buy these things in the future. They are not for eating or drinking. If Lin Dongzhe gets into college in the future, I will have to support him for many years. We have to spend them sparingly."

Lin Wufeng agreed readily, and then took out a colorful scarf from his bag like a magic trick.

“This scarf…”

"Haozi bought it for you. He kept it a secret from me at first. I only saw it when Lin Dongzhe was rummaging through her bag on the train."

Song Ying held the scarf in her hands, eyes full of emotion: "Last time, Xiaoting received the manuscript fee for her composition and bought a scarf for Sister Ling. I mentioned it to Haozi, but I didn't expect that he kept it in mind..."

As she spoke she began to cry. Lin Wufeng comforted her for a while, and the couple fell asleep in each other's arms.

Time flies, and the final exams are approaching. For two consecutive weeks, the other three people in the dormitory studied late into the night. When the lights were turned off, they lit candles or used flashlights to review. Zhuang Tunan was particularly hardworking.

A week after the final exams, college students began to go on vacation.

In the last class, the head teacher assigned everyone an assignment to think about the relationship between space and people, and asked everyone to complete it carefully, and then announced the official holiday.

Zhuang Tunan was just about to take Qin Hao back to pack his luggage, but he saw him and Li Jia quietly leaving the classroom through the back door one after the other.

For some reason, Zhuang Tunan felt a sour feeling in his heart.

"Zhuang Tunan, don't be influenced by that guy. He was absent for a month and still got first place in his major. If you fall in love, you will be ruined. How can you be worthy of your parents who worked so hard to support you in school?"

On the other side, Li Jia leaned against the railing, looking at the bleak scene in front of him, and said with some sadness.

"It should be very cold in the Northeast now, right?"

"Aren't you going home for the New Year this year?" Qin Hao asked softly as he approached.

Li Jia shook her head and smiled bitterly: "My parents asked me to spend the New Year at my uncle's house, so that I could save the money for the round-trip ticket and buy some New Year's goods for my uncle and aunt."

"Give me a call, I'll come see you after the New Year."

Qin Hao's tone was a little overbearing, and he didn't seem to allow Li Jia to refuse. Li Jia frowned slightly, but still gave a number.

"Do you want to make money?"

"?"

"It's annoying to live under your uncle's roof anyway, so you might as well come with me and earn some pocket money." Qin Hao spread his hands.

Li Jia hesitated: "You are not trying to speculate, what if you are caught by the school..."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely legal."

"OK then."

Looking at Qin Hao's receding back, Li Jia was very curious about how he could make money.

After returning to the dormitory and packing his luggage, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan boarded a train to Suzhou. The tickets were purchased by the school, so not only did they not have to queue up at the ticket office in the early morning in the middle of winter, they could also enjoy student ticket discounts, which is one of the hidden benefits of college students.

After getting off the train, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan squeezed onto the bus, changed buses twice, and got off at the entrance of the cotton mill’s family alley.

"Hey, the two college students from our alley are back."

"Haozi and Tunan are back. Now Song Ying and Huang Ling are happy."

As soon as they reached the alley entrance, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan were recognized and stared at like mascots for a long time before they squeezed out a path.

The familiar courtyard at the end of the alley gradually became clear in front of them. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan looked at each other and both felt as if they were in another world.

"Brother Hao, Brother Tunan, you are back."

Xiang Pengfei was the first to notice them, and his shout startled everyone in the yard.

Song Ying and Huang Ling ran out of the kitchen immediately. Because they were in such a hurry, one of them was holding a kitchen knife and the other was holding a spatula.

"Aunt Song, I'm back."

"Mom, I'm back."

Song Ying and Huang Ling hugged Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan respectively, their eyes moistened with tears.

It took a while for the two to calm down and invite Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan into the house.

"Haozi looks a little fatter than before?" Song Ying asked Huang Ling uncertainly.

Huang Ling nodded in agreement: "Tunan looks good too. It looks like the food at Tongji is really good."

"Mom, let me tell you that the dishes cooked by the chefs in Tongji's cafeteria are all delicious. Next time you come to Tongji, I'll take you to try them all."

Even though she was just listening, Huang Ling seemed to smell the fragrance of famous dishes from all over the world, and her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Song Ying pulled Qin Hao aside and asked the question that concerned her most.

"Do you have a photo of the girl named Li Jia?"

Qin Hao was happy: "Aunt Song hasn't developed to that stage yet. When we confirm our relationship, I will definitely take a photo with her and send it back to you as soon as possible."

Song Ying felt regretful but also happy when she heard this: "Okay, you should also treat others well. Don't be like your Uncle Lin, who is like a piece of wood and makes others angry."

"Why did Uncle Lin make you angry?" Qin Hao's curiosity was also aroused.

Song Ying thought of the scene when she first met Lin Wufeng, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

"Don't mention it. It was winter when I first met your Uncle Lin. He asked me out to watch a movie, but I was freezing on the way back. He was wrapped in a thick coat and didn't even bother to put it on me. When I asked him about it later, he said confidently: You didn't say you were cold. Besides, I was cold even if I gave you my coat."

Qin Hao was overjoyed. This was only the 21s. If it were the st century, with Lin Wufeng's straight male behavior, it would be difficult for him to find a girlfriend.

As they were talking, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting came back, and the courtyard became more lively.

After dinner, Lin Dongzhe went back to his room to do his homework. Song Ying then pulled Qin Hao aside and asked in a low voice.

"Haozi, what did you say to Dongzhe? He has become a completely different person since he came back from Shanghai. He ranked in the top 30 in the final exam. The teacher said that if he continues like this, he will have a good chance of being admitted to the senior high school of No. 1 Middle School."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Aunt Song, I promised Lin Dongzhe to keep this a secret, but don't worry, it must be a good thing."

"Okay, then I won't ask. As long as Lin Dongzhe can get into college, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do."

After finishing the small talk, Qin Hao told Song Ying and Lin Wufeng about applying for passports.

"Apply for a passport? Are you going abroad?"

"Well, there is a China-Japan Go Tournament this year, and I will probably have to go to Japan. The Go Academy asked me to come back and get my passport first, and then they will arrange for a unified visa application."

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were so excited that they didn't know what to say. Going abroad was a rare thing in the 1980s. Many people might never leave the city in their entire lives, let alone go abroad.

Early the next morning, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying took leave to accompany Qin Hao to the police station to apply for a passport. It was not easy to apply for a passport these days, and a letter of introduction from the unit was required.

The chess academy had already issued a letter of introduction to Qin Hao. When the police officer in charge of handling the formalities at the police station heard that Qin Hao was going to Japan to participate in a competition, he immediately encouraged him.

"Come on, young man. You can lose to anyone but not to the Japanese."

"Ah."

In the next few days, no one knew who leaked the news, but the news that Qin Hao was going abroad to participate in the competition quickly spread throughout the Family Lane, and from time to time someone would ask about Song Ying's specific situation.

After hearing the news, Zhang A-mei was so jealous that she yelled at Xiao Min, "Look at how useless you are. Look at Haozi, he's going abroad soon and he's a college student. Isn't he much better than those students in your class?"

Xiao Min pouted: "Mom, don't be so blind. Don't you think about why that college student likes me?"

"You...you're so mad at me!"

After Zhang A-mei left in anger, Wu Shanshan said to Xiao Min in an inexplicable tone: "You, don't you really have any ideas at all?"

"Do you think it will work?" Xiao Min smiled contemptuously: "I'm different from you. You and Xiaojun have lived in this family alley since childhood. Aunt Song and Aunt Huang will sympathize with you. My mother and I are outsiders to this alley, so I never expected them to accept me."

"But, in fact, you are almost the same. Sympathy is sympathy, but when something really happens, everyone will still put the interests of their own family first. Otherwise, with your grades, you would be studying in No. 1 Middle School now, right?"

The thorn in Wu Shanshan's heart was hard pressed.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets and alleys of Suzhou become particularly lively. Besides giving Lin Dongzhe extra lessons occasionally, Qin Hao would go to some gardens in Suzhou with Zhuang Tunan. For this purpose, Zhuang Tunan even borrowed a camera from Li Yiming, and they took six or seven rolls of film in just a few days. Huang Ling once sighed: Studying architecture is really expensive.

Zhuang Chaoying felt inexplicably guilty when he heard similar words. Although Zhuang Tunan no longer had to pay tuition after being admitted to university and his living expenses were subsidized by the school, he still had to pay for textbooks and some consumables himself.

In order to learn painting, Zhuang Tunan used hundreds of pencils in one semester, and the textbooks for the Department of Architecture were not cheap.

Zhuang Chaoying had thought about asking for his salary back several times, but in the end he found it difficult to bring himself to do so.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuang Chaoying brought his family to visit Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang to pay New Year's greetings. At the dinner table, Grandpa Zhuang's words instantly froze the originally lively atmosphere.

"Pengfei, isn't there an empty room in the house you live in? Go back and clean it up, and let Zhendong and Zhenbei live there after he leaves." (End of this chapter)
