After Wang Gang received the admission notice, the whole family was very excited, especially Huang Ling, who cried while holding the admission notice. Wang Gang and Zhuang Chaoying coaxed her for a long time.
After Zhuang's father and mother heard the news, they took Zhuang Kanmei's family of four to the house to congratulate him. Zhuang's mother even invited guests to a restaurant for the first time, which almost made a joke.
?Zhuang’s mother invited everyone to eat noodles, but in the end she missed Huang Ling’s calculation, and Huang Ling rebuked her in front of everyone.
?"Mom, I am a human being too, and I also need to eat."
?Zhuang’s mother couldn’t get off the stage on the spot, she was very embarrassed.
Neighbors in the alley heard that Wang Gang had been admitted to university, Fudan University, and they all went to the banker's house to congratulate him. Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling showed their faces very much.
When Song Ying and her family visited Zhuang's house, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling took Lin Wufeng and asked them many questions about the university campus.
Lin Wufeng is a top student at SJTU and is full of memories of his alma mater.
"Fudan is more famous than Jiaotong University, but one is more liberal arts and the other more science. The academic styles of both universities are very good." Lin Wufeng said to Wang Gang:
"Tu Nan, you can't relax when you get to university. Sometimes university is just the starting point, and there is no limit to learning!"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, I have already thought about it. I will take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation instead of studying for a doctorate."
"What is the postgraduate entrance examination?" Huang Ling didn't know much about this and thought that getting into college was enough.
Wang Gang introduced his university education to Huang Ling in detail, and Huang Ling was very surprised.
"How long will it take to study for a doctorate?" Zhuang Chaoying asked.
"Four years for a bachelor's degree, three years for a master's degree, and then a doctorate. It's hard to say the time, it depends on personal study conditions." Lin Wufeng said with a smile.
"I am less than 20 years old after graduating from Tunan University. I should continue to study. If I have the opportunity, I can be recommended by the school to study abroad."
"Study abroad?" Zhuang Chaoying said in surprise: "Doesn't that mean going abroad?"
Huang Ling said with a straight face: "I don't want Tunan to run so far away. What if Tunan doesn't come back? Shanghai feels far away to me."
Zhuang Chaoying said: "If a child has abilities, we should not stop him, we should let him fly high. The higher he can fly, the better."
Huang Ling said sadly: "But I can't bear to let my child go far away."
Wang Gang said speechlessly: "Mom, these are all trivial matters, why are you so worried?"
Huang Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, my worries are unfounded!"
Song Ying took Huang Ling's arm and said, "Sister Ling, you will be blessed in the future. Tunan will definitely be successful in the future, unlike our Dongzhe. Even if he can get into high school, let alone college, I am grateful to God."
"What's wrong with Dongzhe? His academic performance is not very good now."
"This mud monkey's academic performance is good now, that's because Tunan's tutoring is good. When Tunan goes to Shanghai to study at university next month, our family Lin Dongzhe will have no one to control him, and his grades will go back again." Song Ying worried.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I will let Xiao Ting take care of Dongzhe from now on. Anyway, with her here, Lin Dongzhe dare not not learn."
Zhuang Xiaoting said dissatisfied: "Brother, I don't want to care about Lin Dongzhe, he is annoying to death."
Lin Dongzhe shouted: "I just don't want you to take care of me. You urge me to wash my hands and brush my teeth all day long."
Song Ying angrily grabbed Lin Dongzhe's ears and said, "I think Xiao Ting is doing a good job, but you know how to fool me."
"Mom, why are you always looking at Zhuang Xiaoting? I am your biological son." Lin Dongzhe said unwillingly.
"It would be great if Xiaoting were my daughter! Who would want a mud monkey like you?" Song Ying snorted coldly.
Lin Dongzhe was still unconvinced and started making noise, making everyone laugh.
Wang Gang had long discovered that the childhood sweethearts Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were getting closer and closer. It seemed that the childhood sweethearts' friendship had deteriorated with age.
However, the two children were still young and did not notice this change. Wang Gang did not interfere too much, but felt that it was quite good.
Although Lin Dongzhe is a bit naughty, he finally knows the basics. Lin Wufeng and Song Ying are definitely good family candidates. If Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe can really become a couple, Wang Gang will also be happy to see it happen.
The only thing that worried Wang Gang was Huang Ling. After he went to Shanghai to go to school, Huang Ling had no one to protect her. If he was bullied by his parents, he would be beyond his reach.
At night, Huang Ling handed a bankbook to Wang Gang.
"Son, in the bankbook is the money you earned from contributing articles over the years. I haven't touched any of it. I keep it all for you. You can take it to school and try not to treat yourself badly when you get to school." Huang Ling warned with red eyes.
"Mom, you can keep this money for your use! I don't have to pay tuition to go to school, and I also get a monthly subsidy. Plus I make money by submitting articles, so I won't be short of money." Wang Gang pushed the passbook back and said:
"If you see what is lacking at home, just buy it. Don't be afraid of spending money. Your son will only make more money in the future."
Huang Ling smiled and said: "Our family is not short of money now. Most of your father's salary is in my hands now. You have grown up. I don't have to worry about you when you go to college. Don't worry too much about your family."
Wang Gang said: "If daddy and grandma bully you and Xiaoting again, just cut off the relationship with them. Don't care too much about daddy's feelings. There is no need to wrong yourself."
Huang Ling smiled and said: "Mom knows, don't worry about me, your dad is honest now! You are my biggest confidence, I am now talking like my father and mother are talking nonsense."
Wang Gang said: "Mom, if you don't use this money, you can use it to buy gold. If you see a suitable house, you can also buy it. It will be used in the future."
"House?" Huang Ling thought of something and said, "Yes, buy a house. You will be an adult in a few years and will definitely get married in the future. You cannot lack a house."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Xiao Ting also needs a house when she gets married! You can't favor one over the other!"
Huang Ling shook her head and said: "Xiaoting is still young and a girl. The house will be divided among the units later, so there is no rush. We really can't live at home."
Wang Gang warned: "Mom, I think the situation in the cotton spinning factory will get worse and worse. You should prepare in advance. Don't expect the work unit to allocate houses. If you can buy a private house, buy it as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mom, I will listen to you." Huang Ling said, "You have had ideas since you were a child, and you have never missed one."
Wang Gang told Huang Ling some other things before he packed up and went to school.
On the day they left, Zhuang Chaoying asked for leave to see Wang Gang off to Shanghai. Wu Shanshan gave Wang Gang a small ball of stuff behind her back and asked him to get in the car and open it.
Wang Gang discovered that it was a pastry wrapped in a handkerchief, with a small note inside, with only two words written on it.
"wait for me!"
The handkerchief is quite exquisite and has Wu Shanshan's name embroidered on it.
When Wang Gang opened the handkerchief, he was not carrying Zhuang Chaoying, and he could see clearly.
"Tunan, what's going on between you and Wu Shanshan?" Zhuang Chaoying said seriously.
"Nothing." Wang Gang ate the cake and put the handkerchief away.
"Son, it's not that Dad is against your love, it's just that you and Wu Shanshan are still young and some of your ideas are immature." Zhuang Chaoying said worriedly.
"Dad, don't worry! I have already gone to Shanghai to study at university. I will have very few opportunities to see Wu Shanshan in the next few years. What could happen?" Wang Gang said speechlessly.
Zhuang Chaoying thought to himself that he still knew his son well. He had been sensible since he was a child and should not make principled mistakes, so he stopped saying anything.
The father and son took the car all the way to Shanghai and rushed to the Law Department of Fudan University to report. Zhuang Chaoying was shocked by the scene on the university campus, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
Wang Gang doesn't have any feelings about college. It's not like he has never attended one.
?After Zhuang Chaoying returned to Suzhou, he immediately introduced the university campus to Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei, and encouraged them to follow the example of their eldest brother and study hard.
?But Zhuang Chaoying didn't expect that his encouragement would have another effect. Because Xiang Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe yearned for college and missed Wang Gang, they secretly carried their family members on their backs and got on the bus to Shanghai.
