Xu Zhiwei asked: "Are you sure that Shen Lian will go abroad with you?"

Gu Heng didn't answer whether he did it or how sure he was, he only said: "This is the best way now."

Xu Zhiwei sneered in his heart: The best way is Shen Lian's way, Gu Heng's way, not his.

That night, Xu Zhiwei was watching TV with his grandfather when the phone rang suddenly.

Xu Zhiwei immediately jumped up from the sofa: "I'll pick it up!"

He thought maybe it was Gu Heng.

But as soon as the phone was answered, there was another familiar but surprising voice on the other end——Xu Wenkang seldom called.

Xu Zhiwei was surprised: "Dad?"

Xu Wenkang gave an "um" and asked lightly, "Is grandpa there? Let grandpa answer the phone."

Xu Zhiwei didn't know what was going to happen to Xu Wenkang. When his grandfather answered the phone, he turned down the volume of the TV and tried to listen to what they were saying.

Grandpa has a loud voice and doesn't have to bother to listen.

"That's right! Zhiwei said so!"

"...What's wrong with this? What do you think, tell him yourself that he is your son!"

"Tomorrow, it seems to be tomorrow, Zhiwei!"

Grandpa called him loudly: "Come and talk to your dad!"

Xu Zhiwei was called to answer the phone again.

"Dad." He called out, not knowing what to say.

Xu Wenkang cleared his throat: "I heard from your aunt that you want to apply for medical school?"

Xu Zhiwei told him; "I want to study medicine."

Xu Wenkang asked again: "Tomorrow the school will provide guidance on filling out the report?"

Xu Zhiwei was really surprised, because after the college entrance examination, Xu Wenkang never asked him how he did in the exam.It was my grandfather who called to tell me about the score. Xu Wenkang was not excited or happy when he heard that he got a super high score.

Xu Zhiwei had already made preparations to fill in the guidance and volunteers by himself.Parents won't ask anyway.

I didn't expect Xu Wenkang to suddenly care about...

"Are you going tomorrow?" Xu Zhiwei asked tentatively.

Xu Wenkang said: "I'll meet you at your school tomorrow, and I'll go talk to your head teacher."

Xu Zhiwei didn't know what Xu Wenkang was going to talk to the teacher in charge of - the college entrance examination was over, it would be too late to care about his grades at this time.Besides his score, it is quite stable to report to the target school.What can we talk about?

Is it just to enjoy the envious eyes of other parents?

Xu Zhiwei did not expect that Xu Wenkang accompanied him to the parent-teacher meeting for the first time after three years of high school were over.

He thought to himself mockingly, maybe it was a little bit better than never at all.

In the morning of the next day, there was a guidance meeting for filling out the reports at No. [-] Middle School.In addition to explaining the key points for filling in the report in detail, various guidance materials and university admissions brochures are distributed.The class teacher will also discuss with the parents.

When Xu Zhiwei arrived in class, he realized that not everyone was there.

The deskmate told him: "All the ones that come today are online."

Fill in the report in batches, and the school gives priority to guiding one online.When the score line is drawn, it separates people from each other.

Xu Zhiwei looked around.People who are a little above the score line of this book are basically more leisurely, because they have more choices.People who hover around the score line are relatively nervous.He saw Shen Lian coming too.

Shen Lian's score was exactly one point lower than the first line.But he still came to today's guidance meeting, and his parents also came.Shen Lian's father was not in good health because of a car accident, and he was still wearing a long-sleeved shirt in summer, so he chatted with the head teacher as soon as he arrived.

It could be seen that the whole family was thinking about Shen Lian's future.

However, Shen Lian himself was not too discouraged, nor was his spirit broken.There was still light in his eyes, and he had the same smile on his face as usual.A girl asked him concerned: "Squad leader, where are you going to report?"

Shen Lian replied generously: "My score is embarrassing, I'm not sure yet. It would be great if we were all in the same city in the future, I don't want to be too far away from home."

Xu Zhiwei listened to their chat in silence.

He thought that Shen Lian's family might still be weighing and comparing various plans, trying to find the most suitable path for Shen Lian.Maybe Shen Lian will choose to go abroad in the end...

At this time Xu Wenkang appeared outside their classroom.

Xu Zhiwei greeted him immediately.

Xu Wenkang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and complained: "Why is your classroom so hard to find? Forget it, what choice do you have besides applying to medical school?"

He got straight to the point.

Xu Zhiwei said, "No more. My first and second choice are both medical schools."

Xu Wenkang frowned, and said bluntly, "Don't apply to medical school, what are you doing studying medicine?"

Xu Zhiwei couldn't believe what he heard—his father never asked about his studies, but now came to interfere with his report.

He said, "Why do you study medicine? Of course you want to be a doctor."

Xu Wenkang said: "Your score...what's wrong with reporting it?"

It was only then that Xu Zhiwei realized that he and Xu Wenkang had never really communicated in all these years.So now their every word is spoken by chickens and ducks, and they can't understand each other's logic.

It is precisely because he can report his scores to anything, and he has the freedom to choose, that's why he chose the school he wanted to go to!

He gritted his teeth, and finally he could only deal with the belated "caring" with indifference: "I've already decided."

Xu Wenkang muttered a few words, he was going to talk to the head teacher, and asked the teacher to dispel Xu Zhiwei's idea of ​​studying medicine.

The head teacher happened to be chatting with Shen Lian's parents.

Xu Wenkang didn't know Shen Lian's parents, he just waited in the back with an impatient expression.Xu Zhiwei heard Shen Lian's parents talking to Lao Chen seriously.

"Shen Lian is thinking about repeating the study. But we think he is a little bit family-loving and worried about our family's financial situation. However, repeating the study puts too much mental pressure on him..."

Old Chen nodded in agreement: "I know that Shen Lian's level is definitely not at this level, but the change of the model next year will be very detrimental to re-study. I understand the feelings of your parents. If you have this condition, let the children suffer less.

"

Shen Lian's parents nodded again and again, and they chatted with Teacher Chen for a few more words. The meaning in the words was that they hoped that Teacher Chen would advise Shen Lian to go abroad.

When Shen Lian's parents left, Teacher Chen immediately smiled when she saw Xu Zhiwei. She boasted to Xu Wenkang, "Zhiwei worked really hard this year and did well in the exam!"

In fact, many "circumstances" happened this year, but everything turned out fine, and Mr. Chen canceled all the rumors.

Xu Wenkang didn't respond to the teacher's praise, and said directly: "Teacher, with Xu Zhiwei's grades, can he apply for a better university than his preferred school?"

Teacher Chen looked at Xu Zhiwei's simulated report: "XX Medical University is already a very good school, if you go to T University and P University, it will probably be difficult to be admitted."

Xu Wenkang said: "I don't want Xu Zhiwei to study medicine."

Teacher Chen looked at Xu Zhiwei in embarrassment.As the head teacher, she knew the student's character very well, but she was actually very stubborn in her heart.However, parents of students will have various ideas. Some parents think that studying medicine is not good, and she has encountered it before.

Xu Wenkang said: "There are many people who studied medicine and then changed their careers. They don't know how to practice medicine at all. There are too many people who are not suitable for this profession."

He added: "And how long does it take to study medicine? Can I work after a five-year undergraduate degree? At least graduate school? How long will it take?"

Xu Zhiwei said, "Yes. I will study medicine for at least eight years."

Xu Wenkang said sarcastically, "You can only work after eight years of study, so don't worry."

Xu Zhiwei understood everything.

Xu Wenkang didn't care what school he was admitted to, nor what job he would do in the future.He was just worried about having to study for eight years and asking him for tuition fees.

Teacher Chen obviously felt that this was an internal problem within their family, and she couldn't fundamentally solve it, so she could only suggest that they go back and discuss it.

After returning home, Xu Zhiwei told his grandfather about it, and made it clear.

So that night, grandpa called his aunt again, saying that the whole family had dinner together, but in fact he forced Xu Wenkang to agree.

During the meal, my aunt smoothed things over: "It would be great to have a medical student in my family. I will have a plan in my heart when I see a doctor in the future. It is convenient to find a doctor."

Grandpa asked Xu Wenkang to take out 2 yuan first.

He put down his words, Xu Zhiwei's university tuition fees will be borne entirely by Xu Wenkang.If Xu Zhiwei wanted to study medicine, no one would stop him.

Xu Wenkang was so angry that he dropped the bowl and left.

For this matter, the family was noisy for almost a week.In the end, the matter was settled, Xu Wenkang paid all the living expenses for five years of undergraduate tuition and living expenses, and Xu Zhiwei paid for the postgraduate living expenses by himself, and Xu Wenkang subsidized him a part every year.

This matter involving money caused a lot of noise.When the final agreement was reached, Xu Zhiwei only felt that the father-son relationship between him and Xu Wenkang, which was so weak to zero, had turned into a negative number.

On the day after handing in the application, Xu Zhiwei heard about Shen Lian—Shen Lian didn't plan to repeat his studies, and there was no suitable college to apply for, so he found an intermediary to go abroad.

That night, Xu Zhiwei was in the classmate

In the group, I saw someone asking Shen Lian.

Shen Lian appeared and replied: "Ready to go to Australia."

Everyone immediately burst into congratulations. Shen Lian's failure in the college entrance examination was not a big deal at all.Xu Zhiwei looked at the row of congratulations, and only thought about one thing - Gu Heng would fly to that huge island with Shen Lian, there was plenty of time between them, and Gu Heng would accompany Shen Lian without any scruples.

This time, no one will hinder them.

Xu Zhiwei suddenly felt that it was time for his "plan" to come to an end.

He sent a message to Gu Heng: "Will you accompany Shen Lian to Australia?"

After a very long quarter of an hour, Gu Heng replied to him: "Almost, it's almost settled."

He obviously didn't want to go into specifics.

I don't know if this is perfunctory or considerate of him.

Xu Zhiwei typed quickly: "Then we won't see each other for several years."

Gu Heng immediately replied this time: "Not necessarily, we will come back during the holiday and we can still meet."

When Xu Zhiwei looked at that "we", he felt it was dazzling.

He calmed down and continued to reply: "I will be very busy studying medicine, so I may not have time to meet up."

Gu Heng was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.

Xu Zhiwei pressed send: "I want to see you again. I haven't tried that super luxurious movie theater in your house, and I want to watch a movie with you again."

Gu Heng replied: "Come tomorrow? I'm at home."

Xu Zhiwei smiled slightly in his heart, and he only replied in a cute way—"Okay, wait for me."
