1329: The Old Thing Is Lucky (3 More)
Aunt Song also felt the same:
"Xiaolan is just too busy, so what are you doing in such a hurry? She has time to improve at her age."
Xia Xiaolan is different from all her peers.
Aunt Song felt that she was not used to the slow and leisurely life. Others studied and worked hard, and Xia Xiaolan's efforts far exceeded that of her peers.
People are enjoying their youth recklessly. She seems to have stolen her youth from somewhere. If she doesn't live every day to the fullest, Xia Xiaolan will be anxious... She is only in her early 20s, and the urgency that doesn't wait for me is better than that of Aunt Song. The old lady is still serious.
Mao Kangshan said it himself, but he did not allow others to say it, and immediately refuted Aunt Song:
"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. Her starting point is not as good as others. Naturally, she has to spend time and energy to catch up! Without 100 points of sweat, there is no way to achieve 100 points of success... Don't talk nonsense in front of her and let her vent in one breath. , and then slack off.”
Don't feel bad for Xia Xiaolan?
It hurts!
But only strict teachers can produce high-level apprentices. This saying has been passed down since ancient times, and it must be reasonable.
To be a teacher is to be strict, even if the students do not understand and secretly curse in their hearts, at least the teacher has a clear conscience. Under the strict and high standards, no matter how stupid or lazy students are, they can learn something!
Mao Kangshan dropped the book, "I have to call her and ask her a few words."
The things were moved downstairs, and the phone hadn't moved down yet, Mao Kangshan climbed the stairs to make a phone call.
"Where is Dad? The food is ready!"
He also asked Dean Zhong to come and have dinner together, and Dean Zhong also contributed to the change of house.
Aunt Song waved her hand, "I think I went to Xiaolan to show off, let him go, or he won't be able to sleep tonight!"
The Mao family was actually very curious. They didn't know about Xia Xiaolan's situation. What the hell happened, people are so filial to the old man, Zheng Shuqin and Mao Guosheng are all overwhelmed, there must be a reason!
In front of Mao Kangshan, he didn't dare to ask, but as soon as Mao Kangshan left, he hurriedly pestered Aunt Song.
Aunt Song was also confused.
"It was this summer when the old man suddenly asked me to buy fish and cut meat one morning, saying that someone would come to the door..."
She didn't think it was too hard for Pengcheng to help. Mao Kangshan still did a good job, and he was more energetic than working in Hangzhou to retire.
The other half, Mao Kangshan climbed upstairs and returned to the "home" where he and his wife lived for many years.
Everything has been emptied, and the house will be returned to the unit as soon as the phone is moved out.
He still called the capital first.
Xia Xiaolan only returned to the capital today.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xia Xiaolan did not continue to float in Pengcheng, but returned to the capital.
This year, I have no time to toss back to my hometown in southern Henan. Xia Xiaolan plans to spend the New Year in the capital:
"I also said that I would go to Hangzhou to see you and my wife..."
"No, you run around and waste all your time on the road. Spend the Spring Festival with your family well. After the Spring Festival, you will go abroad. If you are leaving from Hong Kong, then we can meet in Pengcheng!"
Mao Kangshan asked her not to come.
Now most of the trips to the United States are from Hong Kong. Hong Kong flies to Japan, and when she transits to the United States, she is an exchange student according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Education. Naturally, she also goes with other exchange students. The department has informed her about the process of going abroad. to leave Hong Kong.
That is to say, before going abroad, we can meet again.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't have to go to Hangzhou anymore.
Mao Kangshan said that the four children in the family had collected 5,000 yuan each and wanted to give it to Xia Xiaolan.
"Teacher, how can I ask for this money—"
"Why not? You must accept this money."
Xia Xiaolan thought about it and it was right. It was the intention of Teacher Mao's sons and daughters to make more and less. It was no wonder that Teacher Mao couldn't hide the joy in the tone of his words.
As for why the five sons and daughters cost only 20,000 yuan, Xia Xiaolan thought with her toes, and knew that Mao Guosheng and his wife were acting as demons.
Could it be that she thought wrong at first, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, and if she can live with a wife like Zheng Shuqin, Mao Guosheng has no need to rescue him at all?
Well, fortunately, Teacher Mao and Aunt Song have other children.
When hanging up the phone, Mao Kangshan whispered thank you to her.
Xia Xiaolan smiled: "It's only right and proper for the apprentice to respect the teacher. If you say thank you, you can see the outside world."
Mao Kangshan is not the kind of person who forcibly sensationalizes.
Whether Xia Xiaolan is good or not, not only is he generous, but the situation in his family has changed.
...
After hanging up Mao Kangshan, Xia Xiaolan was also happy.
"The other children of Mr. Mao's family are quite filial. The family is willing to pay 5,000 yuan, and they made up a total of 20,000 yuan. They asked Mr. Mao to hand it over to me, and said that for Mr. Mao and Mrs. Song to change the house, they should also be considered as their contribution."
It is not easy to save 5,000 yuan for a family that only depends on wages for food. With this money, they can have a decent marriage for their son.
Grandma Yu rarely did not open her mouth, and nodded in approval:
"When your children get married, they have their own families. Not all of them have good financial conditions like you. They put their parents in front of everything, so they don't have to live in their own homes? If you have money, you can contribute to your strength, and filial piety is also important. Do what you can.”
Could it be that the Mao family never thought about letting their parents live in a better house?
Must have thought about it.
It's just that in the past few years, everyone's thinking was relatively rigid.
The policy is already very good. After all, it is an architectural design institute. It has cooperated with brother units to draw a few times, and there is no shortage of people to repair family buildings.
The house was allocated to Mao Kangshan, and the floor and floor plan were good. It was Mao Kangshan and Aunt Song who exchanged the house with the younger son's family. What can the other children say?
Talking too much, it's like fighting for your parents' house!
In the past two years, Aunt Song has been inconvenient in her legs and feet, and the Mao family has been in a hurry. It was refused.
Bah, what is simple, isn't it stingy?
Grandma Yu was deeply touched. When Yu's family was rich, she didn't even know how to write the word "simple"!
To be a poor ghost, there is nothing you can do without being simple.
It is rare for Xia Xiaolan to be generous financially, except for the big head, who came up with a perfect solution to solve the housing problem of Mao Kangshan and Aunt Song. Anyone who has a little affection for their parents in their hearts, seeing outsiders treat the second elder like this, it is impossible not to be touched— The life of the surname Mao was really good, and he took Xia Xiaolan as his apprentice.
Just as Grandma Yu sighed like this, she heard Xia Xiaolan ask her:
"I'm going to go abroad soon. You'd better tell me Uncle Xu's situation in detail. What are the characteristics? Did you bring any credentials when you went abroad? What is your age? I'll be more sure of finding someone!"
Grandma Yu calmed down.
——She wants to take back what she said just now, not only is the old man surnamed Mao lucky, but she is also lucky!
