Zhao Yuan no longer wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of early autumn in the countryside, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Lanhua and Cao Damiao and returned home.
Lin Wenxi's phone calls became Zhao Yuan's daily support.
"Are you up?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Woke up."
"did you sleep well last night"
"OK. How about you"
"Also...it's okay. Have you had breakfast?" In fact, Zhao Yuan often suffered from insomnia when he returned home.
" I ate, what about you"
"I ate too. What are you doing today?"
"Look...some things..." In fact, Lin Wenxi was looking at the new school's admissions brochure, school rules and regulations, as well as the itinerary, train numbers, etc. Lin Ziwei only briefly explained these, leaving the rest to his son to take care of himself.
Day after day, Zhao Yuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Is there no one in your family watching..." Zhao Yuan asked.
"My mother has been at home during the summer vacation, and my father seems to be very free these days. Uncle Hongxuan takes a few people around for a walk from time to time..." Lin Wenxi was helpless: "Do you know where my home is?"
How come Zhao Yuan doesn't know? He has quite a few friends in Yangzi County, including people from the Power Supply Bureau and the Telecommunications Bureau who can help provide the address of the head of the household named Huang Xiya. Zhao Yuan has done this more than once Came for a visit. But every time, she was treated politely by Huang Xiya, or persuaded to leave by Lin Ziwei gently yet dignifiedly. He really had no reason to go to Lin Wenxi's house anymore.
But regardless of whether it was justified or not, Zhao Yuan was just acting out of necessity on this trip.
"I'll come over in the afternoon." Zhao Yuan said.
So that sunny afternoon, Lin Wenxi sat in the room and refused to go out, and refused to buy clothes with Huang Xiya.
Zhao Yuan walked in, found the shoe covers skillfully, and sat down in the chair at the bottom of the room. Lin Wenxi poured him a cup of hot tea. While reading the newspaper, Lin Ziwei raised his head slightly to stare at the uninvited guest, waiting for him to speak first.
"Uncle, if I return all the donated money, will Wenxi still be able to stay?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"It has nothing to do with money. He helped you, but the method was wrong. I don't care if the merits are equal to the faults. But if he leaves, it has nothing to do with you." Lin Ziwei said.
"No one in the class wants Wenxi to leave," Zhao Yuan said.
"You have come here several times on behalf of your classmates. These are not reasons, and any reason does not apply to him." Lin Ziwei said simply.
"After all, Norio University is more suitable for him. As someone with both academic and moral excellence, shouldn't he have the opportunity to go to a larger world to further his studies and expand?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"No university is a person's final future." Lin Ziwei said.
"But any important decision may affect a person's life." Zhao Yuan said.
Lin Ziwei looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, then put down the newspaper, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "So, if you know that this decision is correct, then just follow the right direction."
"The word correct is a very controversial word. It would be better to say that this decision is good for him, so just go in the direction that is good for him." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"This is also the reason." Lin Ziwei affirmed.
"Then what does it mean to treat him well? He is an adult, so it is up to him to decide whether he will stay or go. Give him complete personality and control. This kind of treatment is good for him, right? Then uncle thinks it is good for him, no. He must really think it's good, so wouldn't it be better for him to make his own decision?" Zhao Yuan said sincerely.
"It makes sense." Lin Ziwei glanced at Zhao Yuan approvingly and smiled slightly: "An adult has the right to do whatever he wants to do that does not violate the law and morality. With specialization, when something is too complicated to make a more appropriate choice based on his age and experience, as an elder, it is completely necessary to make some decisions for him, do you agree?"
"I agree. But I also agree that no one can fully understand another person. As Wenxi's father, you may not be able to fully understand your son. You may not be able to fully understand how much potential, ability, and character he has. Therefore, given his age and experience, the inability to make a more appropriate choice is just a rule of thumb, rather than something that can be measured by actual standards. It is a false proposition. Since it is a false proposition, then you have to help him Making a decision, this decision can be regarded as a false proposition, do you agree with it?" Zhao Yuan talked eloquently.
"Then, let me give you a standard. As for him helping you raise funds and donations, he does not need to risk his grandfather, my biological father's name, but directly do it in your name. Although this is It will hurt your self-esteem a little, but compared to saving your father, these little things are not worth mentioning, right?" Lin Ziwei asked.
Zhao Yuan had to nod in agreement.
"If he is capable enough and understands you
As a person, he would not be so reckless. Then, he would not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, reasonably and lawfully requiring him to disclose the source of his donation, and then drawing the conclusion that he was "fraudulent", which would in turn affect and harm his family. In the eyes of your classmates, you know who he is doing this for. However, people from other schools will not know, and the all-pervasive media will not know, and such ignorance and vagueness can be used by others to fan the flames, hurt him, the school, and the family, a situation where three loses and one gains. If he was capable enough, could he have avoided it?" Lin Ziwei asked.
"He..." Zhao Yuan was speechless for a moment. How could Lin Wenxi think of so many things? Lin Wenxi could only think of raising donations for himself and not hurting his own self-esteem. How could he be so smooth and sophisticated? Everything he did was just out of a pure heart. Let's talk about exchanges with Lin Wenxi, what would have happened to me at that time? It should be that I had some basic concerns, I should have dealt with it more tactfully, and I might even have abandoned Lin Wenxi's so-called self-esteem. But this is where Lin Wenxi is much better than himself.
While Zhao Yuan was thinking, he looked deeply at Lin Wenxi, who was sitting silently beside him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"His decision may only be good for him, but he cannot judge whether this decision is good for his family. In this life, should he live only for himself?" Lin Ziwei added patiently.
Zhao Yuan just said nothing for a long time, then stood up and bowed to Lin Ziwei: "As a friend of Lin Wenxi, I am very grateful to my uncle for taking the time to talk to me so patiently. This fully shows that you value Wenxi. Thank you. .”
Lin Ziwei nodded slightly in approval but said nothing. Zhao Yuan could only look at Lin Wenxi, looked at him again, and finally left sadly.
"You, a classmate, are quick-witted and don't follow blindly. You will be a figure in the future. As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, it will be very beneficial for you to learn and interact with him more." Lin Ziwei said to Lin Wenxi.
Lin Wenxi remained silent.
"Then what do you think about your transfer to another province?" Lin Ziwei asked again.
Lin Wenxi lowered his head, shook his head hard for a long time.
"The truth is, your mother and Hongxuan have told you many times. If you really want to be stubborn, there is nothing you can do." Lin Ziwei said and entered the inner room. If you don't leave, how can I use my fists? You, an ignorant child, and your mother are my weaknesses in this life, Lin Ziwei. Lin Ziwei couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't want to leave. But I have to leave. Thank you." Lin Wenxi's brief words in the text message made Zhao Yuan almost cry.
Chen Wanxin simply couldn't believe that this familiar number was him. She stared at the caller ID, feeling a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.
During those three months, she almost despaired. She almost thought that even if Lin Wenxi left, she would never be able to be with Zhao Yuan again.
After Lin Wenxi left, Zhao Yuan completely lost his soul.
Although he was still working a part-time job, he only went to that bar from time to time, and he got drunk from time to time. He even had ambiguous relationships with many men and women in the bar, and scandals spread everywhere. For a while in the bar, Zhao Yuan had another nickname He is a "little guy looking for grievances", because all the men and women he has hooked up with are soon abandoned and their resentments are skyrocketing.
At school, Zhao Yuan still had classes, but he snored all year round. He would get hit in the face by a basketball when playing basketball, which made Zheng Kai almost instigate a rebellion and expel him from the basketball team. According to Wang Xiang, Zhao Yuan also moved his bed to the lower bunk and often wore only the red jersey, as if he was possessed.
Zhao Yuan almost ignored all the girls. Only when he was with Gu Xi often did he see his long-lost hearty laughter.
Zhao Yuan would disappear for a day or two every once in a while, and when he came back, he would call friends and drink to drown his sorrows. If Zhao Yuan's grades hadn't been so bad, and because the people at the street office had caught a thief, people had sent banners to the school with great fanfare, and the credits for the second place in the cross-country competition were gradually deducted, Zhao Yuan would have been Maybe it will be processed by trial reading.
Chen Wanxin has been worried and wanted to have a long chat with Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan did not give her any chance and did not even look at her.
Just after the summer vacation, Zhao Yuan went to Beijing alone and visited the gardens of the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and universities before returning to Yangzi County. Zhao Yuan only stayed in Yangzi County for a few days, and Zhao Yuan got drunk all day long with a group of brothers. General Zhao Ming gave him a hard lesson with a stick and drove him to his aunt's house in the countryside to help with farm work. Zhao Ming will know very well that if this son is not successful, he will often look at the few remaining photos of his mother in the past and be in a daze. As long as he is allowed to go to his aunt's house, Liu Lanhua, who is married to a farmer, to work, It will take a few days to recover. What Liu Lanhua said was much more effective than his biological father.
Chen Wanxin pressed the answer button.
"Wanxin, Wenxi is going to be sent to another province to study at university. Is there any way you can let him stay at Jifu University?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"I may have no choice, and besides, I actually don't want to." Chen Wanxin couldn't help but get angry when she heard that what Zhao Yuan said was related to Lin Wenxi.
"What are the conditions?" Zhao Yuan said.
"Dare you agree to my conditions?" Chen Wanxin's voice came through the other end of the phone. In early autumn, Zhao Yuan felt that the pores all over his body suddenly opened, and waves of chill invaded his skin and penetrated into his bones. He couldn't help but shudder. Chill.
