Chapter 20 The capital, here I come(1/2)
The leader of the Education Bureau said some irrelevant words to everyone and drove away.
The audience was silent. Many villagers looked at Ye Lingchen and his son, their faces were full of embarrassment and envy, and no one spoke for a moment.
All fools know that the reason why the people from the Education Bureau came here was entirely because of Ye Lingchen, the provincial top scorer!
It’s ridiculous that Chu Hao even thought he was self-righteous and speculated that his achievements were incomparable to Ye Lingchen.
"Mom, let's go." Ye Lingchen said again.
"Well, I'm going to tell your dad about this news soon."
Xu Zhen nodded quickly, with great excitement in her voice, she turned her head and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.
The two left slowly, and when they walked to Chu Hao, Ye Lingchen paused.
He said calmly: "Your uncle's car repair shop really can't help me!"
Chu Hao's face was gloomy and his cheeks were hot.
His uncle's car repair shop, how could he be? He actually wanted to recruit a top scholar in the province.
As soon as he left, Xu Zhen couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and dial it.
"Hey?" Ye Jin's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Ling Chen's results are out." Xu Zhen's voice trembled a little.
The other side of the phone was silent for a long time, and pretended to be calm and said, "Don't you come out tomorrow?"
"A classmate asked someone to ask at the dinner table."
Ye Jin heard Xu Zhen’s voice crying, and his heart, which was not very hopeful, sank into the bottom of the valley and spoke hoarsely: “It is expected that poor grades are not good.”
After saying that, he paused. He couldn't help but be curious, and continued to ask with the last glimmer of hope: "Then... how many points did he get?"
The tone was solemn, as if waiting for some kind of judgment.
"Ling Chen scored...725 points."
"725 points, this score..." Ye Jin couldn't come back to his senses for a moment, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly widened, his whole body was shaking, and he spoke almost tremblingly, "I might have heard it wrong just now, how many points did you say?"
"725 points, Ling Chen is the top scorer in the province!" Xu Zhen's tears flowed down again.
I hope my son will become a dragon, and I cried with joy.
"Is this score accurate?" Ye Jin couldn't help asking.
"Everyone from the Education Bureau has come, and he also said that he would give Ling Chen a scholarship of 50,000." Xu Zhen said what happened today.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Ye Jin was so excited that he couldn't speak, and murmured for a while, "I'll go home now!"
At home, Ye Jin and Ye Lingchen sat opposite each other, and neither father nor son spoke.
This is the first time in so many years that Ye Lingchen has looked at his father so closely.
His eye sockets were a little sunken, and there were already three or five crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His extremely bright eyes were covered with traces of vicissitudes of life.
"Son..." Ye Jin was also looking at Ye Lingchen, saying a thousand words, and finally said, "You have grown up."
You have grown up, but I have grown old.
Ye Lingchen's vision was a little blurred, and he quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands, "Dad, I won't let you and mom worry about you again in the future."
Ye Jin's eyes were also a little wet, "Hahaha, OK! Then let us both be drunk and return without returning today!"
As a doctor, Ye Jin usually doesn't drink wine, but today he makes an exception and asks Xu Zhen to take two bottles of good wine he has collected.
"Ling Chen is still a child. How could a father encourage his children to drink?" Xu Zhen complained.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
That night, Ye Jin and Ye Lingchen chatted a lot and drank a lot. Among them, the most common sentence Ye Jin said was, "Ling Chen, a good person, deserves to be my son, hahaha..."
The meal did not stop until Ye Jin was drunk and lay down, and Ye Lingchen's proficiency in drinking soared to 70%.
I'm afraid it's hard for me to get drunk in the future.
Ye Lingchen was still extremely awake and helped Ye Jin into the room, and he also went back to the room to sleep.
The next day, until the sun was noon, Ye Jin opened his eyes in a daze.
The moment he woke up, he was completely drunk and sat straight in front of the phone, picked up the pen and paper, and was ready.
Although he knew Ye Lingchen's score from Xu Zhen's mouth, he was still worried without formal confirmation.
He clearly remembered the minute number and Ye Lingchen's admission ticket number, and trembled and pressed the button according to the prompts.
"Hello, your score is..."
Every time Ye Jin talks about a subject, he will write down the scores very carefully.
When the last score was said, the tears that Ye Jin had to endure yesterday finally flowed down his cheeks.
Then, I couldn't wait to take out my cell phone
"Hey? It's my second uncle, it's me Ye Jin. My son's score has come out. He scored 725 points, and he was so careless that he was the top scorer in the province..."
"Hey? It's my aunt, it's me, Ye Jin, isn't this high score? My son got 725 points, hahaha, the score is really okay..."
...
All day long, Ye Jin was happy and called all the relatives he could think of.
Smiling like a child.
At this time, Ye Lingchen was already in Longhu Community.
"Go to the capital?"
Ye Lingchen said in surprise while massaging Xiao Feifei's silky body.
"Yes." Xiao Feifei nodded, squinted her eyes, and enjoyed Ye Lingchen's massage like a cat.
Then, he turned around and looked at Ye Lingchen with anticipation, "I recently took on a martial arts drama and prepared to return to the capital to shoot."
"You also said that it takes half a year of massage to recover. Why don't you go there with me?"
Ye Lingchen was silent.
The capital is the capital, prosperous and indulgent, and is fascinated by luxury. I don’t know how many people’s eyes are fascinated by people’s hearts.
Even if Xiao Feifei doesn't mention it, according to Ye Lingchen's grades, he can be admitted to Huaqing University or Beijing University.
"Do you have any plans for summer vacation?" Xiao Feifei continued to ask.
"Not yet." Ye Lingchen shook his head.
"Since there isn't, then why not go to Beijing to play with me. I can be your guide." Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen and continued to bewitch him: "And pay."
"When will you set off?" Ye Lingchen asked.
Xiao Feifei replied: "I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."
Ye Lingchen nodded and did not rush to express his opinion.
On the one hand, he had not gone so far alone, and hesitated whether he should stay at home with his parents. On the other hand, he really wanted to go to that rich city and then decide whether to go to college there.
His young mind was just when he was full of confidence and wanted to see another world.
"Don't worry, the capital is my territory, and I won't let you be bullied when I get there." Xiao Feifei suddenly said angrily. After saying that, she couldn't hold back and laughed.
Ye Lingchen thought for a long time and finally asked the question he was most concerned about, "How much is the salary?"
Xiao Feifei: "..."
Sister Lin: “…”
When he got home, Ye Lingchen discussed with his parents for a long time, then began to pack his bags and prepare to leave tomorrow.
"Mom, I'm going to register for Beijing University. This time I go to Beijing and I will go directly to school after school starts." Ye Lingchen said.
"Um."
Xu Zhen nodded lightly, but just kept helping Ye Lingchen pack his luggage with his head down.
On the side, Ye Jin was silent.
"There is dryness in the capital. I heard that it is the dryest during this season. You must take care of yourself." Xu Zhen explained, "The ones here are summer clothes, autumn in the middle, and a cashmere sweater and coat on the other side. If it is too cold, put on it."
"Mom, it's too early to bring winter clothes now." Ye Lingchen was speechless.
"The climate is not sure. You have never been so far away, and you have been there for so long, ready for any eventuality." Xu Zhen said, and couldn't help but wipe away tears.
"My son is going far away, he has a bright future. Don't cry." Ye Jin said from the side.
Xu Zhen helped Ye Lingchen pull the box and took out a package from the side, "There are some foods here, all of which are local specialties from our Zhishui City. If you are hungry on the road, eat something. If you don't have enough, send a text message to your mother and send it to you."
"You have the money you have to spend on the road. Your dad will send money to your bank card every month from now on. Don't save what you should spend."
Xu Zhen suddenly became more and more words, as if she could never finish speaking. She told her left and right words, but she never stopped.
"Mom, I can make money myself."
"The capital city has a lot of expenses, don't worry, parents have some savings, don't think too much."
