small town enyuan

Your school has a cultural performance on New Year's Day, and there is also a small charity auction in the middle, parents can be invited.Are you going to invite me? "

Liang Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Cheng Zhien.

Cheng Zhien thought to himself, this person is quite well-informed, since he has been asked, he is too embarrassed to refuse, "Then you don't have time, do you?"

"I have time."

"Okay. I'll sign up for the teacher tomorrow."

"Then what are you two going to auction? Generally, the parents who go will donate something to the school, and then auction it off. The money will be used as a scholarship fund by the school." Lin Yanqing explained to the next two children.

"It's such a trouble, then we won't participate." Cheng Zhien backed off.

"It's okay, you can go back and ask your grandpa to help you think about it. He has a lot of good things." Lin Yanqing gave Cheng Zhien an idea.

"Ah? It can still be like this." Cheng Zhien thought, what kind of father is this, and encouraged his son to ask his father for things.But it seems interesting.

"Of course." Lin Yanqing said.

"Why don't you ask Grandpa for it yourself?"

"I'll ask for it, but your grandpa won't give it to you. You can go. Besides, I'm so old, how dare I ask your grandpa for it."

When the two returned home, Cheng Zhien changed into his slippers and tiptoed into the house. Seeing that the light was still on in the study on the first floor, he poked his head over to have a look.

The old man was still awake, reading a book with glasses on in the study.Seeing the child showing his head at the door of the study, he asked, "Are you home? The supper is in the pot in the kitchen."

"I'll make it myself later." Cheng Zhien leaned closer, "Grandpa, happy Christmas Eve. I'll give you an apple."

"Yeah, happy holidays for you too, happy every day." Mr. Lin took the apple happily.

"Grandpa, please do me a favor." Cheng Zhien sat on the armrest of the chair, getting closer to the old man.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

"Our school's New Year's Day Art Show has a charity auction. Parents who go there need to bring something that can be auctioned. My dad is poor, so he asked me to ask you for it."

Lin Yanqing passed by the door of the study and heard Cheng Zhien call him daddy for the first time. He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He turned and went into the bathroom, and waved his fist happily in front of the mirror, ignoring the content that his son betrayed him.

The old man smiled, looked around, picked up the pen holder on the table, poured out the pen inside, "Take this."

"Ah?" Cheng Zhien held the ink-stained pen holder, a little hesitant in his heart, can this thing be taken out, "This... how much is it worth?"

"Twenty to thirty thousand." The old man said with a smile.

"Ah, so expensive!" Cheng Zhien hastily put the pen holder gently on the table, deliberately placed it in the middle, "Is there anything worth thousands of dollars?"

Lin Yanqing walked into the room with a smile, and pointed to the pen holder on the table, "This is a Hetian jade pen holder. In your school's auction, there won't be too expensive things, but there won't be too cheap ones either. Twenty or thirty thousand is just right. .It’s actually a parent’s ticket.”

Cheng Zhien cleaned up the pens on the table, "Then you better not go, the tickets are too expensive."

Lin Yanqing and the old man looked at each other and smiled, and said to Cheng Zhien: "Your school is the focus of private schools, and there are all good students in it, and the parents generally have a good status. Everyone is taking this opportunity to meet and chat with each other. You don't have to be too stingy when dealing with your classmates, you can still make friends when you have time."

Cheng Zhien glanced at Lin Yanqing, wondering if Lin Yanqing ran a small clinic, or if he was bragging.Although he seldom goes out for a stroll these days, Cheng Zhien still knows that prices in Beijing are too high after going to the supermarket.He spends money like running water every day when he opens his eyes, he is really worried about whether Lin Yanqing can make this money.

On the second day of school, Cheng Zhien still carried the pen holder to school.Give the pen holder to the teacher who organized the activity and sign up.The teacher gave him an exquisite invitation letter.

After handing over the invitation letter to Lin Yanqing, Cheng Zhien fell into the sea of ​​books and questions again.No matter how other students learn, he can only learn in this way. There is not much time and he needs to make full use of every hour.Especially with Liang Yuan's supervision, learning has filled Cheng Zhien's life.

On the afternoon of the 31st, when the parents came to the school to participate in the activities, Cheng Zhien and Liang Yuan looked up from their desks.The warm auditorium is divided into many areas, decorated with lights and festoons like the scene of a party.The huge screen above the stage is showing a promotional video, and music is playing softly in the hall.The hall was already filled with students in school uniforms.

Several large classrooms next to it were specially converted into various activity rooms, and there were also staff members wearing different uniforms shuttling back and forth.Cheng Zhien saw this kind of large-scale event for the first time, and followed Liang Yuan, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.He leaned into Liang Yuan's ear, "This is too extravagant."

Liang Yuan frowned slightly. He knew that this school was an activity organized by the main campus and the International Department. The families of the students in the International Department were either rich or expensive. For Cheng Zhien who had been living in a small town, this kind of scene , is indeed too exciting.He pulled Cheng Zhien to sit down on the chair, "This is what a rich school does, and it's naturally different from the schools in the county. Don't make a fuss."

"Your old school was just as good."

"That's not true, but it is indeed much better than the county."

"Okay." Cheng Zhien shook his head, since he arrived in Beijing, he had to digest everything he encountered.Looking around at the surrounding environment, Cheng Zhien took out the vocabulary book from his arms, he might as well memorize a few more words if he has time.The current English teacher teaches in pure English every day. Cheng Zhien has managed to practice her oral English well, but her vocabulary is still too small.

Liang Yuan was listening to English with a headset on. In fact, English is his shortcoming. Since arriving in Beijing, his English scores have improved a lot.He turned his head just in time to see the parents entering the arena one after another.

Liang Yuan touched Cheng Zhien, Cheng Zhien looked up in confusion.It turned out that it was Lin Yanqing who came and was greeting the teacher in the parents' rest area.Next to the team of each class is the corresponding parent rest area.There are class teachers and classmates who are guiding parents to enter.When parents come, they will be seated in this area first.There are also small tables inside, with flowers and various fruit drinks on the table.

Seeing Lin Yanqing waving to himself, Cheng Zhien reluctantly put the book in his arms, and pulled Liang Yuan over together.

Lin Yanqing nodded and smiled at Liang Yuan, then patted Cheng Zhien's head.

Cheng Zhien turned his head to hide, "Oh, I'm so annoying, being seen by my classmates is going to make fun of me."

Lin Yanqing smiled and asked the teacher opposite, "Mr. Lu, these two children didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

"No, no, they are all good at studying, and Cheng Zhien is improving very quickly." Teacher Lu is very satisfied with these two students who have been studying all day, "It's just that they have less contact with classmates. Student apartments, it’s best to integrate into collective life.”

"I arranged extra-curricular tutoring for them, and I will trouble you about this after the tutoring class is over." Lin Yanqing explained to the teacher with a smile.

Teacher Lu didn't know the truth, and thought that the two children were spoiled by their families and they were not very gregarious. To remind the parents is also for the growth of the students.Seeing that the parents said so, they didn't say much, just nodded with a smile.

A couple came from behind, well-dressed and exquisitely dressed.He walked over to say hello to Teacher Lu, and the man walked towards Lin Yanqing, shaking hands warmly with a smile on his face, "Dean Lin, I really didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Yanqing shook hands with a smile, "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence. Your son is also studying here?"

"Yes," Mr. Chen said with a smile, "I heard that you have been a single nobleman all these years, but I didn't expect to hide it so deeply." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Cheng Zhien, "Is this your son?"

Lin Yanqing smiled and introduced, "This is my son, Doudou. This is my sister's child, Xiaoyuan."

Cheng Zhien called to the person with interest, "Hello, Uncle Chen." Liang Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Your son is so handsome." Mr. Chen praised, and Lin Yanqing smiled brightly.

"The main reason is to follow my father." Cheng Zhien's words made people laugh, and the flowers on Lin Yanqing's face bloomed even bigger.

Mr. Chen raised his hand to his wife who was talking with the teacher, and called his wife over to give an introduction.

Everyone greeted again.Mr. Chen's wife patted Cheng Zhien's shoulder lightly, "Let me tell you, this kid looks young and has such good grades. He is smart at first glance. He went to school early and went to college early. I heard that during the [-]th Five-Year Plan A child who is [-] years old can just go to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology. I have a friend who is in charge of recruiting the junior class, and I will introduce it to you another day."

Cheng Zhien dealt with it with a big smile on his face. Seeing the parents getting together to chat, he curled his lips and leaned close to Liang Yuan, "It's really hypocritical."

Liang Yuan pushed Cheng Zhien's head away, poked Cheng Zhien's shoulder, "Be honest."

Mrs. Chen's wife raised her hand and called her children over, and pulled them over to let a few students communicate more together.Parents are friends, and children should get to know each other better.It was only then that Cheng Zhien remembered that this chubby classmate surnamed Chen seemed to be called Chen Jinyan, and he was a well-known carefree person in the class.

Sure enough, the carefree Chen Jinyan patted Cheng Zhien's shoulder and said, "So you are Uncle Lin's son. Why didn't you tell me earlier." After speaking, he felt something was wrong, and then lowered his voice, "Why don't you have the same surname as your father?" Then he patted Cheng Zhien on the shoulder again, "Understood, you and your mother have the same last name."

Cheng Zhien thought to himself, you know nothing.

Chen Jinyan pulled Cheng Zhien and Liang Yuan to the chairs beside them and sat down, "It's too hypocritical not to stay with their adults."

Cheng Zhien instantly had a crush on this little fat man.
