The Pentium Era - South to North

This summer, Xiaofang had a vacation in early June, but she did not return to China immediately. Instead, as Zhang Chen said, she traveled around the United States and even went to Mexico. She did not return to China until mid-July. At this time, it’s summer vacation to the south and north.

Zhang Chen’s hotel on Renmin Road in Sanya has been renovated and is about to open. The plan for the botanical garden has also been made and is being approved. However, the road leading from the outside to the botanical garden has begun to be widened and renovated, and it is still necessary to build a new building in the mountains. Build a parking lot next to the road, that is, near the road outside. In the future, all tourists must get off the car here and take a battery car in.

Zhang Chen was going to Sanya, and Xiaofang wanted to take Xiang Nan and North with him. Xiaofang said, brother-in-law, I want to see that dream-like place you mentioned.

When Zhang Chen was talking to Xiaofang on the phone, he did tell her that looking down from the top of the mountain was like a dream.

Zhang Chen said okay, let’s go together.

Zhang Xiangbei looked at Zhang Chen, hesitating and hesitant to speak. Zhang Chen was surprised and asked him, "Don't you want to go to Sanya?"

Zhang Xiangbei shook his head and said to Zhang Chen, Dad, can I take my best friend with me?

"Sun Xiangyang?" Zhang Chen asked.

Zhang Xiangbei nodded, Zhang Chen said yes, I will call his father later and tell him to come with us.

Sun Xiangyang's father is now the director of the General Affairs Office of Lin Shuwan and is very familiar with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Xiangbei jumped up when he heard this and shouted, "I'll call Fatty Sun and tell him."

Xiang Nan saw it from the side and immediately shouted: "Uncle Zhang Chen, can I also take my two best friends to Sanya?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, they can stay in our hotel anyway, as long as their parents agree."

Xiang Nan's two best friends, one is Zhou Ruoyi, whose parents are both cadres of the city government. They all like Xiang Nan and are very familiar with Tan Shuzhen. Xiang Nan thinks that her parents must be fine, as long as she helps Zhou Ruoyi to talk to them. Just say it.

Another one is Zheng Xinying. Her parents are both teachers at Zhejiang University. Although they also like Xiangnan, they are very strict with their daughter. They require her daughter to never be second in the class. Occasionally getting second place is a shameful and humiliating parent.

The strangest thing, and what made the whole school famous, was that whenever there was a parent-teacher conference, Zheng Xinyin's parents would come together and immediately become the protagonists of the parent-teacher conference, having their own opinions and suggestions on almost everything.

They think that their suggestions for schools and classes are the most reasonable, but they don’t know that teachers and other parents actually hate their behavior. Some parents say that they rely on their daughters’ academic performance. Well, show off your power at the parent-teacher conference. Otherwise, which child will have parents come to the parent-teacher conference and sing along with each other?

When it comes to parent-teacher meetings, there are always parents who go back and talk to their children, who then talk to their classmates, and the classmates’ words reach Zheng Xinxin’s ears. Zheng Xinxin feels so embarrassed that when he hears that a parent-teacher conference is going to be held, , I felt like my head was heavy. On the second day of the parent-teacher meeting, when I walked to the door of the classroom, Zheng Xinxin felt that his legs were shaking.

When she was in the first year of junior high school, there was a parent-teacher meeting. Zheng Xinyin once begged her grandma to come and not let her parents attend. But her grandma never dared to interfere in her granddaughter’s education. They were Zheng Xinyin’s parents. The final say.

Now she has to ask Zheng Xinxin to go to Sanya with her. Xiang Nan feels that her parents are having a hard time, and if Zhou Ruoyi goes, she won't be able to go. Xiang Nan feels that Zheng Xinxin will die of pain if she is alone at home.

Xiangnan looked at Xiaofang for help, and said to Xiaofang: "Aunt Xiaofang, can you help Zheng Xinxin? She wants to go out to play. She is almost bored to death at home."

Both Zhang Chen and Xiaofang knew what Xiangnan meant. Although Zheng Xinxin's parents had no contact with Xiaofang when they were in school and Xiaofang didn't know them, Xiaofang was a top student at Zhejiang University and now at Yale. She is currently studying for a Ph.D., even at Zhejiang University, and is somewhat famous. Besides, Zheng Xinxin's parents are strict with Zheng Xinxin, don't they just want her to be like Xiaofang?

With Xiaofang taking them with her, what should her parents be worried about?

Xiaofang said yes, I will tell it to your best friend.

Xiaofang followed Xiang Nan to Zheng Xinxin's house. As expected, Zheng Xinxin's parents knew about Xiaofang, but they didn't know that Xiaofang was Xiang Nan's aunt. Xiang Nan and Zheng Xinxin went to Zheng Xinxin's room and closed the door. , the two of them were hiding behind the door, their hearts beating wildly as they listened to what was going on outside.

Outside, Zheng Xinyin's parents were very polite to Xiaofang. They invited Xiaofang to sit on the sofa, took out Nongfu Spring from the refrigerator, and made sure she drank it. After the initial politeness passed, they all asked Xiaofang about her life at Yale. Condition.

"It will be your second year soon. You will study at Yale for another two or three years?" Zheng Xinxin's mother asked.

Xiaofang shook her head and said, maybe not, just study for another year. My tutor also told me so.

"After another year of study, will you get a master's degree or a doctorate degree?" Zheng Xinxin's father asked.

"Doctor, I have obtained more than half of the credits now." Xiaofang said.

"Oh my God, you got a PhD from Yale in two years!" Zheng Xinxin's mother turned and called Zheng Xinxin's room, "Zheng Xinxin, Zheng Xinxin!"

Zheng Xinxin came out of the room. Her mother said to her, "Did you see that this aunt is going to get a PhD from Yale University in two years? You have to learn from this aunt. Let me tell you, when she was at Zhejiang University, , he is a famous academic master."

Zheng Xinxin said, I understand, and I will definitely learn from Aunt Xiaofang.

Next, Xiaofang and Zheng Xinyin's parents talked about taking them to Sanya to play together. Zheng Xinyin's parents looked at each other with embarrassment. Xiaofang quickly said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will supervise them to study and check every day." Their summer vacation homework.

Zheng Xinxin's parents heard Xiaofang's words. For Xiaofang's sake, they finally agreed to Zheng Xinxin go to Sanya with them, but there was one requirement, which was air tickets and accommodation fees, including tickets for the outing. They must make it clear that they must bear this responsibility themselves.

Zheng Xinxin and Xiang Nan jumped up when they heard behind the door that they could go to Sanya. Other words had nothing to do with them and they didn't want to listen.

Xiaofang smiled and said: "What's the accommodation fee? It's my brother-in-law's own hotel. It's empty if we go there. We don't have to pay in the first place."

Zheng Xinxin's father said, that's not okay. If that's the case, you can't go.

Xiaofang has seen too many people like this in school. They say they have self-esteem. In fact, many times they are too clear-minded about small things and stick to small details, which in turn is a sign of low self-esteem. In Hangzhou dialect, such people To put it simply, it is a sour account. If you look closely, you will find that they generally come from a humble background. They subconsciously feel that they are successful now and need to prove their current abilities.

Xiaofang said okay, I will let them charge according to the actual fee. When Xiaofang said this, she felt ridiculous. There are so many people living there, and no one else is charging, just her. You must treat yourselves Is your child doing something so special? Have you considered the child's feelings?

Xiaofang said this, and Zheng Xinxin's parents agreed.

After deciding on the trip to Sanya, when Xiaoshu and Yao Fen came back for dinner, Zhang Chen asked them, are you going?

Yao Fen shook his head and said, "I have to go to work and don't have time."

Xiaoshu also shook his head. He said that he was going to Shanghai to stay for a while to regain his childhood memories.

When Xiaofang heard this, she laughed and cursed, "You spent your childhood in Chongqing. You never went to Shanghai before you were nineteen years old. What childhood memories do you have in Shanghai? Did your childhood start when you were nineteen years old?"

Xiaoshu looked at her and said, your chemical brain doesn't understand. These childhood memories are to be recalled in a strange place. The stranger, the more exciting and the deeper the feelings will be. It's just like you, The longer you stay in the United States, the more delicious Chongqing hot pot will be.

Xiaofang was speechless by Xiaoshu. She said okay, we science students really don't understand your artistic mind.

Zhang Chen understands what Xiaoshu wants. What he wants is the alienation effect similar to what Brecht said, which is to pull people away from the familiar environment. In a strange environment, you are familiar with the environment. Your understanding will become clearer.

"Then you should go to Hong Kong or Tokyo." Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu said, "Let's go to Japan and see Dongshan Kaiyi by the way."

Xiaoshu said yes, but it would take a long time to get a visa to Japan.

"I'm here to help you." Zhang Chen said.

"Are you going?" Zhang Chen asked Yao Fen, "If you want to go, I will ask for leave for you and Tan Shuzhen."

"It's better not to give it up. The current overall environment is not good, and the morale in the company is relatively low. If this person asks for leave and that person asks for leave, I think it will be even worse." Yao Fen and Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen nodded, feeling that Yao Fen's consideration was right.

The next day, Zhang Chen went to the Friendship Hotel, told Xiaoshu's situation, and asked Harada Shino for help. Harada Shino was very familiar with the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. He immediately called and contacted him. After contacting him, he wrote on the note: He got the name and phone number of the first secretary of the consulate general and asked Xiaoshu to go directly to him.

Xiaoshu got his visa to Japan on the same day he went to the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. Before Zhang Chen and the others set off for Sanya, he took a flight to Tokyo one day ahead of them.

Zhang Chen and the others arrived in Sanya. Before they could get out of the Phoenix Airport, Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei screamed: "Aunt Hongmei!"

Zhang Chen was startled and looked again, and sure enough he saw at the exit, not only Cao Minfang waiting for them, but also He Hongmei standing with Cao Minfang, who arrived in Sanya an hour earlier than Zhang Chen and the others.

He Hongmei and Xiaofang hugged each other immediately. When it was over, Xiaofang pushed He Hongmei in front of Zhang Chen. He Hongmei stood there, looking at Zhang Chen with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Chen asked.

"What, you're not welcome?" He Hongmei asked.

"Welcome, of course, welcome with raised hands and feet," Zhang Chen said.

"That's pretty much it." He Hongmei nodded, and then said, "Yaomei is back, so I don't have to come."

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaofang, who was looking at them with a smile, and asked, "Have you already contacted me?"

When Zhang Chen said this, Xiaofang was stunned. He Hongmei smiled and said: "Guo Guo, you are too old-fashioned. What time has it been? She is in the United States, and we are in contact every day."
