The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen got up very early. He walked to the window and opened the curtains. It was still bright outside. Zhang Chen walked back and sat down on the bedside. On the bedside table, a maroon urn exuded a dim light. The portrait Xiao Zhao looked at him and smiled quietly.

Zhang Chen put his hand on the urn and smiled. He said, Xiao Zhao, let's go back to Hangzhou together. It seems like it was yesterday, but now, we are playing hooligans on the coal pile in the boiler room of the Red Flag Hotel. , Zhang Xiangbei is going to the United States.

I thought I would be very relaxed about this matter, but when he really wanted to leave, I couldn't sleep last night. I finally fell asleep. Look, I woke up so early again. You said, What's wrong with me?

I always tell others that boys just have to be free-range. They are like weeds. They can grow wherever they are thrown. More training is good for a boy’s growth. But when it comes to this day, the little boy will grow. Zhao, why do I feel like a woman who not only loves her son and daughter, but also loves her mother-in-law and mother-in-law. She keeps explaining the same things, which makes Zhang Xiangbei feel bored.

It’s really funny to think about it. When I was Zhang Xiangbei’s age, I thought Lao Zhang was very verbose, but when I reached this age, Xiao Zhao, I even felt that I was more verbose than Lao Zhang.

I know that Zhang Xiangbei went to the United States, and Xiaofang is taking care of him in the United States. Don’t worry. Awan told me that day that there are several children who are really unaccompanied in the United States and usually stay with Americans. At home, Zhang Xiangbei is many times better than them, but I am still very nervous.

I don’t even know if it was right to agree to Zhang Xiangbei’s study in high school in the United States. If you were here, Xiao Zhao, would you agree to his going to the United States to study?

Is it really that important not to go to a key high school? If you can't go to a good university, what does it matter? He needs to work hard. His parents have already helped him work hard. Xiao Zhao, are you right? We work so hard and work so hard, mostly for him. He doesn’t need to take the money like many people do. Find a job with your diploma.

Even if Zhang Xiangbei never went to college, it won't affect his good life. Are you right, Xiao Zhao? What, you don't agree? If you don't speak, you don't agree.

Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing when you look at me? Okay, I know what you are laughing at. Are you laughing at my thoughts again, like a rich man? If you were here, you would definitely let him go to the United States, right? I knew you would. Xiaofang doesn’t have to go to Yale. She’s doing very well in China, but you still want her to go.

It's right to think about it. Xiaofang has been abroad for two years. How much has changed. People really need to be knowledgeable. Xiao Zhao, you don't know how powerful Xiaofang is now. I think I am not afraid of anything. , when I arrived in the United States, being led around by Xiaofang, I felt like a child following an adult, haha. Looking at her calm and composed manner when talking to those people, I didn't believe it.

This is still the same Xiaofang who blushed when talking to people and dared not speak loudly. Four years at Zhejiang University and two years at Yale have really transformed people. It seems that the four words "education and education" are still correct.

Also, Xiaofang always said that I underestimated Zhang Xiangbei, and I was still not convinced. I thought, I don’t know my son yet, but it turned out that it was true, what I thought Zhang Xiangbei couldn’t do, he He did it all, and did it very well. Zhang Xiangbei is going to attend the No. 1 high school in New York, which is Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School.

No, no, it's not Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School, it should be Beijing, that's not right, New York, New York is more like Shanghai, Zhang Xiangbei was admitted to the best high school in Shanghai, Xiao Zhao, you don't even dare to think about this, right? ? Anyway, I didn’t even dare to think that Zhang Xiangbei could get into the top eight high schools in Hangzhou.

In this way, Zhang Xiangbei really did the right thing to go to the United States. Changing a place will not only bring no harm to people, but only benefits. If people move living trees and dead trees, just shoot a gun and change places, maybe Zhang Xiangbei will really be able to live in another place. can achieve final victory.

In this way, if Zhang Xiangbei did not take this path, does it mean that he did not realize his potential? If so, will he blame me in the future? Xiao Zhao, will you blame me? You just think your son should be the best, right?

Xiao Zhao, your son is leaving today. If you are reluctant to leave, go to the United States and see Xiao Fang and their home.

Zhang Chen took the watch next to the urn and looked at it. He said, Okay, Xiao Zhao, I won't tell you anymore. I want to wash my face and brush my teeth first, and then go over to see if Zhang Xiangbei has gotten up.

Zhang Chen stood up and went to the bathroom. After washing up, he changed his clothes and was about to go out. Someone knocked on the door. Zhang Chen quickly walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was Zhang Xiangbei, neatly dressed. It looked like he had arrived early in the morning. It's ready.

"So early?" Zhang Chen asked, "Dad was just about to call you."

"Dad, I want to say a few words to mom." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Zhang Chen said yes, you go.

Zhang Xiangbei walked into Zhang Chen's bedroom and sat in the place where Zhang Chen had just sat in front of him. Zhang Chen walked into the room, turned on the air conditioner, and said to Zhang Xiangbei, it's still early, Zhang Xiangbei, what do you have? If you want to, you can talk to your mother slowly.

Zhang Xiangbei said "Oh".

Zhang Chen closed the door when he came out. He went to sit on the sofa in the living room and thought to himself that Xiao Zhao was very busy today. Just after sending me away, his son came again.

Zhang Chen thought, laughed, and said proudly, "Do you think our father and son are so easy to get rid of, Xiao Zhao?"

Zhang Chen turned on the TV. "Chao Wen Tian Xia", which was just launched by CCTV News Channel last month, was already on the air. Zhang Chen started watching it while smoking.

After smoking two cigarettes, Zhang Xiangbei hadn't come out yet. It was already bright outside, and the balcony was covered with fluffy sunshine. The wind blowing in from the open door was already hot. Zhang Chen took it I pressed the remote control on the coffee table to turn on the air conditioner, then stood up and prepared to close the balcony door.

"Zhang Xiangbei! Zhang Xiangbei!"

There were shouts from downstairs. Zhang Chen walked to the balcony and stretched his head out of the balcony to take a look. He saw Sun Xiangyang, looking up with his head raised. When he saw him, he asked:

"Uncle, is Zhang Xiangbei here?"

"Here, come up." Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen walked back into the room and closed the door. Zhang Xiangbei also came out of the bedroom and asked Zhang Chen, "Is it Sun Xiangyang?"

Zhang Chen said yes, I asked him to come up.

As soon as the two people finished talking, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Xiangbei walked over and opened the door. Sun Xiangyang was panting heavily, with steam rising from his head. Zhang Xiangbei said:

"Let's go down."

Sun Xiangyang put his hands on his hips and glared at Zhang Xiangbei, his belly heaving up and down, and he said out of breath: "If I had known this, why would I have come up here?"

Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiangbei laughed.

The school is out for summer vacation, and Sun Xiangyang is going to see Zhang Xiangbei off at Pudong Airport together.

Although it was already summer vacation in the United States and it was still early to start school, Xiaofang said that she had signed up Zhang Xiangbei for a summer camp so that Zhang Xiangbei could interact with American children earlier. The most important thing was, Adapt to the English environment in advance, otherwise, she is worried that Zhang Xiangbei's hearing will not be able to keep up after school starts.

The three of them went downstairs and walked to Zhang Chen's parents' place. Xiaoshu and Yao Fen also arrived. They and the four old people had even finished breakfast and were waiting for them. The three of them hurriedly sat down to eat breakfast. While having breakfast, Xiao Sheng called Zhang Chen and told Zhang Chen that he had arrived at the parking lot at the door.

"Have you had breakfast?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Already eaten." Xiao Sheng said.

"Okay, we'll come out right away." Zhang Chen said.

The three of them had finished their breakfast, and Xiao Zhao's mother was about to clean it up. Zhang Chen's mother shouted, "Never mind it, we'll talk about it when we get back, just leave them here."

Although Xiaofang repeatedly called them and told them to bring as few things as possible and to buy whatever was missing when they arrived in the United States, Zhang Chen saw that four elderly people, especially grandma and grandma, still prepared two very large items for Zhang Xiangbei. The big suitcase was full of stuff, Zhang Chen asked:

"Why are there so many things?"

"Beibei is a human being, not a kitten or puppy. People don't need so many things?" Zhang Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "No, his room has been prepared by Xiaofang for him. The food, sleeping, and food are all ready-made. He just needs to bring a few sets of clothes that he needs to change recently. If he needs to add more, Xiaofang I’ll buy it for him too, why does he have so many things to bring?”

"Don't worry about it, he needs it anyway." Zhang Chen's mother said.

Lao Zhang said at the side: "I have said it before. The Red Army marched for 25,000 miles, and each person only had one bed roll. Why do you need to bring so many things to read a book?"

"You also said that if you could bring it, you would be happy to bring all the vegetables and eggplants you grow to the United States. Tell me, you asked Xiaofang if you could bring these fresh vegetables on the plane. How many times did you ask Xiaofang?"

Zhang Chen’s mother said sarcastically, Lao Zhang smiled awkwardly, and Zhang Chen’s mother continued to scold:

"Keep your mouth shut. The Red Army marched for 25,000 miles. The Red Army also ate grass roots and leather belts during the Long March. Why didn't you eat it? Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, there are still two belts left. I will cook them for you tomorrow. eat?"

Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang laughed. Zhang Chen heard that his mother was a little angry today. After thinking about it, he realized that it was because Zhang Xiangbei was leaving.

Zhang Chen quickly said: "Okay, let's go, Zhang Xiangbei, what grandma and grandma brought for you must be good things, right?"

"I just..." Zhang Xiangbei was about to say "I don't want it", but when he saw Zhang Chen winking at him, he quickly shut up.

"Let's go, Xiaoshu, let's go." Zhang Chen said to Xiaoshu.

Xiao Shu and Zhang Chen each pulled up a large suitcase and walked outside. A large group of people came outside and saw Qu Tianlin already in Xiao Sheng's van. She also came to see off Zhang Xiangbei. This person here A large number of people got on the bus and it was filled immediately.

Zhang Chen asked Xiao Sheng: "How are Xiao Wu and the others?"

"They have already set off and are waiting for us at the highway intersection." Xiao Sheng said.

Another van was driven by Xiao Wu. In it were Liu Ligan, Tan Shuzhen, Sister Guihua, Xiang Nan, Zhou Ruoyi and Zheng Xinxin. They were on summer vacation. These three best friends in junior high school were together again.

Xiao Sheng drove to the entrance of Genshan West Road Ring Expressway and saw Xiao Wu's car parked here. Xiao Sheng drove the car in front of it and stopped, opened the door, Xiao Shu and Yao Fen got out of the car, and went to In that car, the seats in this car can be more spacious and everyone can sit more comfortably.
