Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

36. Day 5 (The Past of Tao i)

~

On the fifth day, the weekend was approaching. Grandpa and grandma entertained Director Lai at a nice restaurant. When Director Lai arrived, grandpa and grandma were already waiting.

"Director Lai, I'm really troubling you and wasting your precious time. We, Tang Jiahui, are not sensible enough to let you worry."Grandma is very polite.

"This, classmate Tang Jiahui is rude, you should discipline her well."Director Lai

"Her parents divorced, and we didn’t educate her well."Grandpa picked up the cup and toasted to Director Lai

"Your parents are divorced. As grandparents, you should be more careful. Today's young people are easily deceived, and there are so many scammers. They are like Taoists, unlike our older generation, who have old hearts."Director Lai

"Yes, yes, thank you, and please take care of us. We want her to read more books and learn about the international project we mentioned last time."Grandpa

"This! This, the school is full, the school's selection is very strict, Tang Jiahui's grades are also very reluctant, usually he has to be in the top few."Director Lai

"It's all that Daozhi's fault, damn it."grandmother

"Well, I'm not talking about you, your parents are also responsible. Students should study hard in school. What kind of behavior would it be to fool around with that kind of teacher all day long? That person in Tao Zhi thought he was great because he went abroad and studied for several years. He didn't learn anything good. Instead, he brought the bad things from abroad. What is freedom and openness? This is what we have in China. , we have our own traditions, what our Chinese nation pays attention to is propriety, justice and integrity, what is it?"Director Lai

"Yes, yes, yes, we are completely separated and will never see him again."Grandpa

"Such people do not deserve to be teachers, they do not even deserve to be human beings, and they do not deserve to live in this world."Director Lai

"Yes Yes."grandmother

"He is a disgrace to our educational community, and I, as the head of the department, would like to apologize to you."Director Lai suddenly became very responsible.

"You are so responsible and noble. I feel relieved that Tang Jiahui has a department head like you."grandmother

"Look, is there any way to go abroad?"Grandpa

"You have only come to me now, and you are too careless."Director Lai

"Director Lai, you are right, it is all our fault. Can you help us more?"Grandpa filled Director Lai's glass with wine. He believed that after two glasses of wine, things would become easier to handle. This is the experience he has gained over the years.

"Things have reached this point, which is very difficult to handle, but it is not impossible. We can only recruit people into the class."Director Lai

"So there is still hope of going abroad?"Grandpa

"The education provided by British universities is the best in the world. They have very high requirements for international students, depending on their grades in each semester during the university period. In her junior year, in order to meet their requirements, we added a lot of classes to the international class, including... etc., it is very heavy. This year is very critical. You must urge her to study hard and stop making messy things. Can't lift it up, can't get out."Director Lai introduced in a serious manner. Grandpa and grandma listened carefully.

"Please, you are the head of the department and you have such a high official position. Please help us think of a solution."grandmother

"In this way, I will study with other teachers and try to add a special admission quota for you, but it will cost some money."Director Lai

"Okay, we'll pay for it."Grandpa

"Recommended teachers in the school are also required to write letters of recommendation. This is also very important. If their grades are not outstanding, how can they be willing to write them and what should they write?"Director Lai

"Letter of recommendation, can you help me find some connections when the time comes?"grandmother

"Can't you find anyone?"Director Lai asked pretending to be surprised.

"How do we know each other? Please."Grandpa

"After all these years in school, I still have some kindness. I look for it when I need it and help others until the end. But favors must be repaid. This is a society of favors. You know, courtesy is reciprocal."Director Lai

"Yes, please help us more and we will never forget you."Grandpa

"Fortunately, I met Director Lai, otherwise I would have missed this good opportunity. You are Tang Jiahui's destined person and the honored person of our family."grandmother

"This is a small matter. We who are engaged in education cannot be like businessmen who only care about money. There is no need to thank me. I still want to thank the professor who helped write the recommendation letter."Director Lai

"Everyone is grateful, everyone should be grateful."Grandpa

"I just try my best to help, but there is no guarantee that I will be admitted. I can only help you get a chance. Is it up to you to bring the master in to practice? You have to think carefully about it. After all, international projects cost a lot of money."Director Lai

"Of course, a good education requires more tuition. Yes, thank you so much. I will definitely let Tang Jiahui study hard."Grandpa.

After drinking and eating, grandpa handed two cigarettes to Director Lai.

"What is this? As the dean of a university department, I should do these things for students."Director Lai glanced at the bag which contained Chinese cigarettes.

"It's a small thing, don't take it personally."Grandpa

"Are you asking me to take a bribe?"Director Lai pretended to shirk

"This has nothing to do with going abroad, and this is not at school. It is just a simple expression of friendship. If you don't accept it, we won't be considered friends."Grandpa

"What you did, it seems like it's my fault if I don't take it."Director Lai smiled and took the cigarette.

Grandpa and grandma were very happy that someone in the family could study abroad.

Director Lai was very tactful and once again made the parents willingly take out the money, and he was full of gratitude. People like to take the special relationship channel, Even normal roads can make people burst into tears as long as they are marked with special care.

Going from the countryside to the city, from the small city to the big city, from the big city to the megacity, from home to abroad, it seems that only this kind of leap can prove that you are in the right place. Progress. People usually don’t think their hometowns are good. They forget that their so-called bad hometowns are caused by themselves. Most people will encounter difficulties brought by strangers wherever they go, more or less, but for After completing the leap, it is inevitable to spend more money, and they are willing to do so. Some even use any means to achieve their goals.

On the sixth day, Tang Jiahui was not there. The house suddenly became much empty on Saturday morning. Tang Jiahui did not tell Daozhi when he would come back. After a while, after the family calmed down, he came back directly to get things. There was no information. Daozhi was thinking. Tang Jiahui shouldn't be like this. Suddenly the door rang. Daozhi immediately went to open the door.

"Why are you here at this time?"When he saw Li Xiuyan, he suddenly frowned in surprise and then smiled again.

"Am I not welcome?"Li Xiuyan knew that Tang Jiahui was not here, and she had been thinking about it all night, so she came early in the morning.

"Come in, have you had breakfast?"Daozhi was planning to get something to eat.

"No way."Li Xiuyan.

Daozhi fried two eggs, which were very tender, toasted a few pieces of bread, brought salt and pepper to the table, and made two cups of coffee. Li Xiuyan did not expect that the first time she and Daozhi had dinner was Breakfast, at home, so many things happened behind this meal, it can be said that it is not easy to come by. Looking at the plates on the table, Li Xiuyan was very happy. There were many boys who bought breakfast for themselves, but those who cooked breakfast for themselves, Tao Zhi is the first one. The yellow and white eggs on the plate are distinct. The yellow color shows nobility, and the white color is a bit more holy. Thinking of the recent events, how dirty they are underneath. Although it is a simple meal A simple breakfast made Li Xiuyan feel complicated.
