Chapter 95 The way out

Summer vacation is here, and the hot summer is here. It seems that there are only two colors left in the world, one is white, the color of bright white and dazzling sunlight, and the other is green, the verdant green that everything grows to the extreme.White is plentiful everywhere, whether in cities or in rural areas, while green is unevenly distributed, with few in cities and more in rural areas.

Cheng Xin's favorite weather is sunny, and his favorite color is green, so his favorite season is summer.But this summer, he was a little unhappy. He originally planned to practice basketball in this city, and then let Chen Xin come to continue to make up lessons for him. He signed up for a trial training class in a basketball club in Shanghai. The temptation was too great. After all, he had never received a completely professional basketball training, so he hesitated for a long time, and went to Shanghai. He comforted himself and said , the brief separation is for a longer future.

After Chen Xin heard the news, although she was a little bit reluctant, she didn't say it out loud. Since it was the path Cheng Xin chose, although he couldn't support it 100%, he was still willing to respect his choice and not hold him back.It just so happened that my mother had already called back and wanted to come back to pick up the two brothers to play in Guangdong. Chen Xin rejected her mother's proposal to pick them up, saying that she would just take her brother there.

This is not the first time for Chen Xin to travel abroad. When he was very young, when his father was still alive, he followed him to live in Guangdong for a while, and even went to kindergarten there for a year, but the time was too long. The memory of Guangdong is completely gone.This was the first time he went out by himself, bringing his brother with him.Fortunately, he is no longer the cowardly and cowardly Chen Xin. Cheng Xin gave him confidence and courage, and also broadened his horizons.

When the mother picked up her two sons at the train station, she felt so proud. The sons have grown up and can go out alone without being accompanied by them. They are no longer children that worry her.

When mother and child meet, greetings are naturally indispensable.Chen Xin looked at her mother. She was wearing a bright long dress and white high-heeled shoes. Her hair was permed and dyed, her face was powdered, and she looked very good. She looked at least five years younger than before. , Such a mother made him feel a little strange, because in his memory, his mother hardly dressed up. He suddenly felt grateful to his stepfather. At least he made his mother's life comfortable. What is more important than mother's happiness?

Chen Xin was still the same, she smiled quietly after greeting people, and said very little.Chen Xi came to Guangzhou for the first time. When he saw the crowded Guangzhou Railway Station, he was full of curiosity. He kept looking around and asked everything he saw.Mom patiently explained to him.

Mom took them to take the subway and said: "Your uncle was going to pick you up by car, but a regular customer came to see the goods, and he went to receive them. I can't drive yet, otherwise I wouldn't have to squeeze the subway. In a few days, we will drive to Zhuhai to play."

Chen Xi became excited: "Mom, are you going to the beach?" Inland children are always curious about the ocean.

Mom nodded: "Well, yes, I will take you to the beach to take a bath."

"Are there any shells?" Chen Xi asked impatiently.

My mother smiled and said, "Maybe yes, the very small ones." The last time I went to the beach was more than ten years ago, and I took Chen Xin with my ex-husband. At that time, there was no Chen Xi. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the Glancing at the eldest son, Chen Xin has grown taller again, and is now half a head taller than herself, "How tall is Xin Xin now?"

Chen Xin said: "I don't know. The last time I measured it was 173. I haven't measured it for a few months."

My mother smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's 1 meters tall. I'm catching up with your dad. Can't you wear clothes? Go back and have a rest today, and I'll take you shopping to buy clothes tomorrow."

Chen Xin shook her head: "No, there are enough clothes to wear."

My mother smiled and said, "Guangzhou's clothes are cheap, so it's okay to buy more."

Chen Xin is not looking forward to coming to Guangzhou. After all, her mother has formed a new family, and their coming will only cause trouble.But from the mother's point of view, maybe they will make her feel more at ease when they come, and don't let her feel too much indebted.And it's not a bad idea to come and have a look, at least knowing what the mother's life is like, it can be regarded as the children's concern for the mother.

Chen Xin's stepfather, surnamed Cai, is Cai Shenglong, a native of Hubei. He came to Guangzhou very early to do business, bought a house and settled down.As far as economic conditions are concerned, it is already considered good.The house is not too remote. It is in Haizhu District, and the transportation is convenient. They got off the subway and walked for a few minutes to the community. It is a bit old community, but it looks very lively. The trees in the community are shady and the grass is fragrant. It is verdant, the old people sit and chat under the fruitful mango trees, and the children chase and fight in the community, feeling very peaceful and peaceful.

Chen Xi felt that his eyes were not good enough. There were mango trees, lychee trees, longan trees and jackfruit trees everywhere, which made people greedy. In his heart, Guangdong is really rich and a good place!At this moment, he was slobbering at the big and many mangoes on the branch again, and he was a little unable to walk, so Chen Xin had no choice but to turn around and grab his younger brother's wrist: "Let's go, don't look at it." It's not shameful to be ashamed.

Chen Xi took two quick steps and followed his brother's footsteps: "The mangoes are so big. Brother, whose family are these mangoes from?"

Chen Xin said, how do I know.Mom smiled at the side: "It's from the public. I heard that when the mangoes are ripe, the property management of the community will pick the mangoes and deliver them door-to-door. Everyone can eat them."

"Does mom have it too?" Chen Xi became excited, his eyes were shining.

Mom smiled: "It should be, but there are too many people, and we can't share a few. I bought some at home, and I went home to eat."

Chen Xi was happy, but Chen Xin was not happy. Here, they are three mothers and sons, or a family. When they went to the stepfather's house, they always felt like an intruder. The stepfather had a son who was not much younger than himself. The attitude towards the other party is not very optimistic.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the house, the mother called out: "Kaikai, we are back." She took out new slippers for the two sons.

Chen Xin changed his shoes a little nervously, while silently looking at the furnishings of the house. Fortunately, they are just ordinary people in the city. Having lived for such a long time, he has adapted to all kinds of city life, and now he will not be as restrained as a countryman who first entered the city.

He had just changed his shoes when a boy came out from behind a door. He was wearing a basketball vest. He was no taller than himself, a bit fat, and also wore a pair of glasses. He looked like his stepfather. He looked at the two brothers emotionally.When Chen Xin saw the other party, he immediately thought of Ji You, felt a little familiar, and smiled at him.

The mother hurriedly introduced: "Kaikai, this is brother Chen Xin and brother Chen Xi, and Xixi is called brother." She said and pushed the younger son.

Chen Xi was the youngest and the most extroverted, so he hurriedly said hello, "Hello, brother."

Chen Xin was a bit apprehensive, calling him brother, what will he call himself in the future?

The boy by the door came out: "My name is Cai Bokai, welcome." He walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the washed grapes on the table and ate them.

Chen Xin heard that the other party's tone was indifferent, and she must be just like himself, also harboring grievances, so she just nodded and said, "Hello, I, this is Chen Xin."

Mom hurriedly smiled and said, "Xinxin, you sit with your brother, watch TV, eat fruit, and snacks, and mom will cook."

The three boys are all of different ages. Chen Xin and Cai Bokai are the closest in age, and they could have chatted with each other, but Chen Xin can't speak well and doesn't want to talk to strangers. I was young, and there was a generation gap in my age, and I couldn't chat with older boys at all, so there was only an awkward silence in the room.But Chen Xi didn't seem to be affected, he started to eat right after he sat down, the table was full of his favorite food, he was so happy.

Chen Xin went to the bathroom, walked to the kitchen, saw her mother was busy and wanted to help, she was kicked out by her mother and asked him to rest, Chen Xin had no choice but to take out her mobile phone, and when she saw a message from Cheng Xin, she clicked on it After looking at it, the other party asked him if he had arrived, and he returned.

Cai Bokai watched him play with his mobile phone, glanced at him, and said, "There is wifi here, let me connect it for you."

This is the olive branch offered by the other party, and Chen Xin quickly handed over her mobile phone: "Thank you."

Mom was cooking, and looked back into the living room. The children had already begun to communicate, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. She felt that they should be able to chat. They were all boys, and they were about the same age.

Not long after, Cai Shenglong came back, welcomed Brother Chen Xin very warmly, and sat down to chat with the two brothers.Only then did Cai Bokai realize that Chen Xin stammered a bit when speaking, so he couldn't help but take a second look. He had heard that Chen Xin was a genius student who could earn money without spending money on studying. I was a little unconcerned in my heart, but now I found out that geniuses also have shortcomings, and immediately felt that Chen Xin had changed from a golden phoenix to a pheasant, and she was no different from herself.This only shows that he doesn't understand Chen Xin. Chen Xin's reticence is definitely not because of arrogance, but because of fear of embarrassment.

After getting acquainted gradually, Chen Xin found that Cai Bokai was actually quite a nice person. At least he respected his mother and would not ignore her. Occasionally, he would do some considerate actions, such as complimenting which dishes were delicious when eating, eating After the meal, she will also help put away the bowls, and when cutting the fruit, she will have her mother's share. Chen Xin is relieved, at least she doesn't have to worry about her mother's lack of status in this family.

In the evening, Chen Xin and his brothers slept in the guest room, and there was no air conditioner in the room. Cai Shenglong kept apologizing and said that he was busy recently, so he didn't bother to install the air conditioner, so he just bought an air conditioner fan.Chen Xin said it was enough, they didn't have air-conditioning in their hometown, so it was even hotter than this and they came here.

On the first night in Guangzhou, the two brothers slept soundly, one because it was not hot, and the other was because of peace of mind.

The next day, my mother took Chen Xin brothers and Cai Bokai to go shopping and buy clothes. What she meant was that the three children were treated equally and were not mean to anyone.Cai Bokai is very sensible, saying that he has bought a lot this year, and he doesn't need to buy clothes, he only needs a pair of basketball shoes.Chen Xin didn't want to buy more, and only bought two to appease her mother.Chen Xi is small and grows fast, so he bought two more sets, which were just right and one size bigger.

In the afternoon, my mother went to the store to help and let the brothers play at home. Cai Bokai was going out to play with a basketball. He asked Chen Xin if he would go, and Chen Xin nodded and went with him.Cai Bokai found that Chen Xin was not a nerd, and he was not bad at playing basketball, so he warmed up to him immediately, and asked about his high school studies when he returned.Chen Xin said a little bit based on what he knew. Learning has always been easy for him, and it couldn't be easier. Cai Bokai couldn't help but feel confident when he heard what he said was simple.

On the third day, Cai Shenglong invited someone to watch the store, and took the whole family to Chimelong Paradise. The children had a great time. Although Cheng Xin also took Chen Xin brothers to the playground last year, the facilities in their city Of course it can't be compared with here.After a thrilling day, on the way back, Cai Bokai mentioned: "Sun Yat-sen University."

Hearing this, Chen Xin turned her head and looked out of the car window. They were indeed passing CUHK. It was already dark, and there were no lights on the campus. It was dark, only the gate was lit, and the big characters on the gate were very clearly illuminated: "Far from home Is it?" He knew that Sun Yat-sen University has a long history and is the best university in Guangdong, so he yearned for it and wanted to take a look.

Cai Bokai said: "It's not far, just a few stops away from our home. It would be great if I could be admitted to CUHK in the future."

Cai Shenglong answered with a smile: "Then you have to work harder, the University of China is not so easy to take the exam. Chen Xin, come to the University of China, the employment of universities in Guangdong is very good."

My mother said with great anticipation: "Yes, it is not bad to come to CUHK to study, and my mother is here too."

Chen Xin smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer. He had always preferred Tsinghua University and Peking University in his heart, and had never considered other schools at all.Chen Xi replied on behalf of his elder brother: "My elder brother wants to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University." best university.

When Cai Shenglong heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "That's right, of course Chen Xin's grades have to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Have you ever thought about what major to study?"

In the past two years, Chen Xin has already had a general idea of ​​what major to study: "Maybe it's biology."

Cai Shenglong nodded and said: "Biology is good, but it's not easy to get a job. But it's nothing. Graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University, you don't have to worry about employment. You can learn whatever you want. Uncle supports you 100%."

After hearing this, the mother just looked back at her son and said nothing. She already knew that the distance from her son would only get further and further away, and now she had to learn to adapt.

When I got home, Chen Xin chatted with Cheng Xin on QQ, and suddenly asked Cheng Xin: "Have you decided what university you want to go to? Where will you go?"

When Cheng Xin saw this news, he didn't know why he asked this suddenly: "Not yet, what's the matter? Have you thought it over?"

Chen Xin said: "Today we went out to play and passed Sun Yat-sen University. My mother wanted me to be admitted to Zhongshan University."

"Isn't it? It's too wasteful for you to be admitted to Zhongshan University!" Cheng Xin's strategy has always been aimed at Tsinghua University and Peking University. Is it too late to move to Zhongshan now?

Chen Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw this sentence: "No, I plan to take the biology department of Peking University." Chen Xin has learned about biology majors on the Internet, and most of them are ridiculed, because biology majors are mostly scientific research, the content is boring, and employment is difficult. Difficult, even Peking University's biology majors have many people transfer to the department, Chen Xin is not worried about the boring of scientific research, but a little worried about employment, because it is a matter of survival, especially he wants to let his grandparents live a good life as soon as possible.

Cheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not too bad."

Chen Xin was lying on the bed, thinking about the way out in the future, and then felt that she was thinking too much. Before taking the university entrance exam, she was thinking about making money. If she thought too much, the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge. Isn't it the right choice for me to go to university? Do you like your major?

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Xin asked, "Where did you go today? Did you go to the beach?"

Chen Xin was caught in her own thoughts, and did not reply to the message in time, Cheng Xin sent another message: "Why don't you talk?"

Chen Xin came back to her senses, picked up her phone and sent back a message: "No, I thought about something. I haven't gone to the beach yet, I went to Chimelong Paradise today."

Cheng Xin asked: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Chen Xin thought about it, and then replied: "I heard that the Department of Biology is not easy to find a job, and I am worried that it is difficult to find a job."

Cheng Xin's message was immediately replied: "Why worry, I will support you if you don't have a job."

When Chen Xin saw this sentence, his face suddenly became hot, and his smile became bigger and bigger. Although he didn't really need him to support him, but seeing what he said was inexplicably happy, he thought again, if he keeps following him in the future When Cheng Xin was together, there was no pressure to buy a house, get married, and raise children. The pressure was much less than that of ordinary people, and the poor were poor. Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt relieved again.

Cheng Xin said again: "By the way, Xi Qi told me something today. Now there is a calligraphy competition that is calling for papers. Would you like to send a piece of calligraphy to participate in the competition? There will be prize money. I will send you the materials in a while, you have a look."

As soon as Chen Xin heard about the calligraphy competition, she immediately regained her spirits: "Okay, send it to me."
