Danqing

Chen Ming is the son of Chen Jianguo. He is a senior student at N University in the provincial capital, which can be ranked among the top ten in the country. He is also the best college student out of the Chen family.

Chen Kezhi has been sharing the bed with his parents for the past few days, and he is not used to not having Tan Songxue by his side.

The third day in the provincial capital was Saturday. Chen Ming had no class and went home last night. Chen Kezhi told him that he wanted to visit their university.

Chen Ming wanted to review, but he still did not refuse Chen Kezhi's request.

Everyone likes smart and obedient children. Chen Ming has been deeply impressed by this Mandarin-speaking cousin since he was a child. It stands to reason that children from the county should be the same as Tan Songxue, who are surprised and bluffed when they see everything, but Chen Kezhi does not. Similarly, neither the conversation nor the knowledge is like a child over nine years old.

Who has ever seen a child less than ten years old say to all the elders with tea instead of wine at a family banquet?

Chen Kezhi is like that, and he speaks Mandarin well and soundly, auspicious words come out of his mouth, his emotions are sincere but not artificial, and his attitude is respectful but not humble.

Chen Ming had to admire this cousin, even if he couldn't do what Chen Kezhi did, he could speak comfortably to everyone, except of course Chen Shiwen, the daughter of the second brother Chen Jianjun.

Unlike Chen Ming, Chen Shiwen looked down upon Chen Kezhi as a cousin. After all, he came from a small place and couldn't catch her eyes.But Chen Shiwen did not show that he was well educated since he was a child, and he still got along happily with Chen Kezhi's family.It's just that the sense of superiority in her bones is still there, and Chen Kezhi's behavior of toasting is in her opinion hypocritical flattery.

Chen Jianguo wanted Chen Ming to go into politics before, but Chen Ming was influenced by his grandmother and sick grandfather. He wanted to study medicine since he was a child. Chen Jianguo didn't want to force him, so he let him go.

When visiting N University on the third day, Qin Songxue also followed Chen Ke in a desperate manner. Since it was a children's activity, Chen Ming promised to take good care of the two children, but Qin's father and mother did not follow, they I am also very supportive of visiting universities, but Father Tan wants Tan Songxue to be admitted to a fine arts academy or a prestigious university with a calligraphy major, while Mother Qin wants Tan Songxue to study in the same way as Chen Ming. Popular majors.

But since Qin Songxue was still young, the two parents hadn't discussed it yet, so they didn't realize that they had a disagreement.

N University is a comprehensive university with the highest score in the medical school. Chen Ming got in with the seventh score in the city.What Chen Ming most wanted to go to was actually the medical university in the imperial capital, but the score there was too high, and he was still a little short, so he applied for the n university that was close to home.

This was the first time for Chen Kezhi and Qin Songxue to visit the university. The learning atmosphere of N University was very strong. There were students reading books everywhere in the woods, and many people were reciting English in the corner. Chen Kezhi listened intently for a while, but didn't understand much.It's not that the content is profound, but that my dear friend's oral English is really bad.

"employee." Chen Kezhi corrected the accent of a word in a low voice.

With sharp ears, Chen Ming heard it all at once, and asked in surprise, "You know?"

"My mother is a high school English teacher." Chen Kezhi said.

"No wonder...you should have just started English class in the third and fourth grades of primary school. I wonder how you can even know this word." Chen Ming looks like Gao Xinrou, with crooked eyes, and he smiles like a spring breeze.

A modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.This is how Chen Ming feels.

"Our family has a lot of English books. I usually read some. If you don't understand, you can ask my mother."

Tan Songxue looked around curiously, running back and forth from time to time, but Chen Kezhi never left his eyes.

Chen Ming only thought that Chen Kezhi was nervous and Tan Songxue didn't care too much, and said casually, "Learning more English is not harmful. China is about to join the WTO, and it's just a matter of one or two years... Do you know about the WTO?"

Chen Kezhi frowned and shook his head.

"That's right... how old are you, why should I tell you this?" Chen Ming laughed, unconsciously treating Chen Kezhi as an adult.

"Brother, tell me."

"Interested?" Chen Ming found a stone bench in the woods and sat down while talking. Qin Songxue didn't know she was tired, so she squatted aside to play with ants, and Chen Kezhi sat opposite Chen Ming.

"WTO is the World Trade Organization. People from China and the European Union signed a bilateral agreement in the imperial capital in May this year. Once China joins the WTO, the market will open up, and the economic structure will inevitably change. From planned economy to reform and opening up for so many years, China It’s not in line with the world, now it’s time to adjust... Just look at it, the changes in the Celestial Dynasty will be earth-shaking in the next ten years.”

Chen Kezhi didn't speak, digesting the unfamiliar terms Chen Ming told him.He knows about the European Union. It is a high-frequency vocabulary when watching the news at [-] minutes at noon every day. It is a union of many European countries.

"If I didn't really like studying medicine, I would probably choose economics or finance...Xiao Ke, have you thought about which major to study in university?"

Chen Kezhi shook his head. Although he thought about going to a famous university, he really didn't think about the major.

"Let's study finance."

"Is it... doing business? Or a bank?" Chen Kezhi asked tentatively. In his concept, only merchants and banks deal with money.

Chen Ming waved his hand: "Of course it's not about business. It's about the same as a bank... The Chinese government has great power, but in the final analysis it is still the economy that controls politics. If it weren't for Deng, the Chinese government would not be where it is today, nor would it have the confidence to join the WTO. Why did the Olympic bid fail? In the final analysis, it’s not because China has no money. Xiao Ke, listen to me and study finance. People who don’t understand economics want to do a big business, no matter how educated they are, they will be in vain.”

Chen Ming grew up in the provincial capital since he was a child, and Chen Jianguo was once the deputy mayor in charge of the economy. His vision is more than 01:30 points higher than his peers. It is precisely because of this that he also realizes the importance of the family. It took him most of his life to get to where he is today, and it would be a pity if he didn't fall back in his generation.Chen Kezhi is a talented individual, and it would be too much for him to stay in that small county.

Chen Kezhi was still thinking, and he clearly felt the gap between the two from the conversation with Chen Ming.This is not just the gap between adults and minors, but the difference determined by the environment in which they grew up.

Their starting point is too different.

He thinks that he has more things from elementary school than his peers, but what about Chen Ming?What was Chen Ming exposed to since he was a child?The knowledge he learned from books was still child's play in front of Chen Ming.At Chen Ming's age, would he be worried about the postgraduate entrance examination, or would he be running around looking for a job?But Chen Ming was concerned about state affairs.

"Xiao Ke, come to the provincial capital to study in junior high school. The attached high school of N University has its own enrollment quota every year." Chen Ming is not worried that Chen Kezhi will not pass the exam. If the line has not arrived, then he doesn't need to pay so much attention to Chen Kezhi.

Among the four children in their family, although Chen Shiwen is excellent, she is a woman after all, and she will marry into someone else's family when she grows up. The third child, Chen Hao, is in the army with his father, and basically decided to join the army. We can only count on Chen Kezhi.

Chen Ming didn't think it was too early to talk about this with Chen Kezhi. It was difficult for him to see his cousin, and his cousin was mature enough to know what he wanted.

"Well... thank you brother, I'll think about it when I go back." Chen Kezhi didn't immediately agree. There are still three years before he enters junior high school, so he still has time to think about it.He is fully willing to come to the provincial capital to study, but what about Tan Songxue, should he come with him?

Qin Songxue was poking the ant hole on the ground with a small stick, having a great time.

Chen Kezhi had long regarded Tan Songxue as his little wife, and he didn't want Tan Songxue to leave his side. What if the two separated for a long time and Tan Songxue became estranged from him?Then wouldn't all the results of his management of Tan Songxue in the past few years be in vain?

The little boy was troubled.

He had to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Don't worry too much about this matter in the past two years. The high school affiliated to N University also has self-enrolment, but it's rare to take some exams. If you don't want to leave home, you can come back to high school... Of course, the other two key middle schools in City Z are also very good, but If you are admitted to N University, you should apply to the attached high school." Chen Ming thought that Chen Kezhi was too young to be separated from his parents, so he persuaded him.

Chen Kezhi didn't explain much about it. As he grew older, he gradually realized that his thoughts were a bit shocking, so he had to keep Tan Songxue by his side when he didn't know anything, and never leave him. open him.

At the end, Chen Ming said again: "Don't think that I let you think about these things as supersedes, and don't think that you don't have to think about these things at your current age. It's better to gain insight than to gain insight from a height. If you really If you want to do something, you must get on that platform early, think what no one else thinks, think what no one thinks."

Chen Kezhi said solemnly: "I understand."

Near noon, the students studying in the self-study room went to the cafeteria to eat one after another, and the number of people on the road gradually increased. Chen Ming felt a little hungry, so he said that he was treating guests to the cafeteria at noon today.

The two children have never eaten in the cafeteria, and they both find it quite novel. The food in the cafeteria is not delicious, but it is not too difficult to swallow. Generally speaking, it is not satisfactory.

Tan Songxue never refused anyone who came when he was hungry, and he didn't complain if he was full.

Since Chen Ming is from the medical school, he didn't bring his two children to visit their teaching building, but just walked around in other departments. In addition to the most beautiful teaching buildings of N University, the School of Economics is the most beautiful. Chen Ming said with a smile that money is different, and the teaching buildings are higher-grade than other schools.

The environment of n is very good, there are camphor trees everywhere, and there is an artificial lake, surrounded by college students who are in love. Qin Songxue finds it strange. Even though he was relatively conservative in 2000, he is a preschool student. , Where have you seen the scene of sitting together and falling in love?So he stared at the others motionlessly, causing one of the girls to walk away in embarrassment.

Chen Ke thought he was ashamed, so he grabbed him and told him not to run around, which made Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Visiting the university today had a much greater impact on Chen Kezhi than yesterday's exhibition. Chen Ming's words allowed him to determine the specific direction of his future life, and indirectly affected the ending between Chen Kezhi and Qin Songxue 20 years later.

On the fourth day, Father Chen was going back. He only took two days off and had to go back to work on Monday.The old man and the old lady wrapped a big red envelope for the two children, which was a bit thick to the touch, but Father Tan shy away and was embarrassed to accept it.

The old lady said: "Xiaoqin, you are welcome. I saw Qiuqiu growing up. This is a little thought from our old man. You can receive it. The old man and I will not sit together for a few years. Maybe you You won’t see us next time…”

Now that the words have come to this point, Father Tan can't refuse anymore, so he accepts after thanking him again and again.

After I left, I opened the red envelope. Qin Songxue got 1000 yuan, which was a lot of money. Mother Qin didn't know what to say. My grandparents didn't have any outsiders who cared about her son. It was inevitable by comparison. Some chills.

These three days, Tan Songxue had a great time playing, and kept asking his father when he could come to play again, and Tan's father reluctantly told him for several years.

If Chen Kezhi wants to stay in City Z, he can go to school here directly.

Qin Songxue agreed without thinking.

Chen Kezhi peeled a piece of chocolate for him and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.
