Chapter 206 Preparing to Go to College Ning Weidong raised his head and took a look at An Ning, who looked like a fox spirit. He guessed what she was thinking and said with a half-smile, "You want me to help you deceive those people in your family?" An Ning hugged Ning Weidong's arm and said, "What do you mean by our family? We are together, right?" Ning Weidong could clearly feel the elasticity coming from his arms. It is summer now, Ning Weidong is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and An Ning is only wearing a dress with a underwear underneath. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Seduce me~" and then looked down at An Ning's plump bust. An Ning deliberately increased her intensity: "Then do you agree or not~" Ning Weidong didn't care about doing a favor. After all, it was just a matter of a word and it didn't affect his interests. What's more, An Ning's words are actually more beneficial to Ning Weidong. The old saying that if you rush to do something, it's not a good deal is not without reason. After this matter was settled, Ning Weidong asked again: "By the way, last time you said you wanted to find the property left by your parents, how... did you find it?"
Ning Weidong has never forgotten this incident, but he didn't mention it again after talking about An Ning last time. Although Ning Weidong was curious and interested in this matter, An Ning never contacted him again afterwards, and Ning Weidong did not take the initiative either. In addition, due to other subsequent events, he let the matter go. I happened to see An Ning today, so I brought it up. An Ning's face flashed with a strange expression, and she forced a smile and said, "You are talking about that~ It's no longer needed." It can be seen that there must be something else going on here. But since An Ning said she didn't need it, no matter if it was out of sincerity or she was playing hard to get, when Ning Weidong asked, Ning Weidong would not ask again. He was just curious about this matter, not that he had to do it. Forget about An Ning’s attitude now. At this point, the meal was almost over. Ning Weidong wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "That's it. Go back and tell An Zhiyuan. You can decide for yourself how to say it." An Ning responded, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. In fact, she hoped that Ning Weidong would continue asking questions, but rationally speaking, based on her understanding of Ning Weidong, this result was normal. After coming out of the restaurant, Ning Weidong rode away on his bicycle. He didn't go back to the unit either. After all, he had just drunk two bottles of beer. Although it was not a big deal for Ning Weidong's alcohol tolerance, it was not good to be seen drunk, so it was better not to go. Ning Weidong simply went home directly. It was almost two o'clock when I rode my bike to the slum. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Uncle Lu sitting under the persimmon tree in front of their house as usual, enjoying the cool air, leaning on a rattan chair, holding a palm-leaf fan, and wearing a large white vest. Ning Weidong greeted him: "Uncle Lu, it's cool~" Uncle Lu was a little confused at first, but he opened his eyes and said, "Hey, Weidong! Why are you back so early today?" Ning Weidong said: "Something happened. I drank some wine at noon."
Uncle Lu watched Ning Weidong push his bicycle into the Moon Gate, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he still had to be a leader. If you are a workshop worker, it is not easy to ask for leave. Just then, Aunt Lu came out from inside the house, lifting the door curtain and asking, "Hey? Who were you talking to just now?" Uncle Lu said: "Ah~ Weidong just came back." Aunt Lu was also surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. She sat on the small bench next to her and said, "Tell me, where did Shi Xiaonan go? We haven't been able to find him for several days." Uncle Lu narrowed his eyes and said, "I say you are redundant. Since they can't find the person, it means that they don't want to have anything to do with the Wang family anymore. Why are you still getting involved? In the end, you've wasted your time and energy, and you're still blamed." Aunt Lu sighed and said, "I'm just thinking about it. After all, they are the original couple. It's better to remarry than to find someone else~" Uncle Lu curled his lips in disapproval and said nothing. Aunt Lu lowered her voice and said, "By the way, the girl from the Bai family will be leaving in two days. Do you think we should give her some money?" Uncle Lu sat up straight again, thought for a moment and said, "It's fine as long as you get the point. Although I've been admitted to university, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to come back from abroad." Aunt Lu understood that Bai Fengqin would probably never come back after she left, so there would be no point in giving her more money. He nodded and continued, "You said, once Fengqin left, Bai Fengyu would be left alone..." Uncle Lu glared at him and said, "I'm telling you, don't make a mess of it. Whether someone is lonely or not has nothing to do with you. Stop meddling in other people's business." Aunt Lu pursed her lips and whispered, "I just feel that..." Before she could say anything else, Uncle Lu interrupted her and whispered, "What do you think? Do you know what's wrong with her? With Bai Fengyu's looks, if she really wants to attract a man, do you think she can't?" Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You mean...she has someone else?" Uncle Lu uttered a "tsk". …… At this time, Ning Weidong had already parked his bicycle. Before I walked into the house, I heard someone talking behind me. When I turned around, I saw sisters Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin coming in from the Moon Gate, each carrying a big bag. The two were stunned when they saw Ning Weidong. Bai Fengqin asked in surprise: "Brother Weidong, why didn't you go to work today?" Ning Weidong responded and asked, "Did you two go to the street to buy things?" Bai Fengyu said: "Fengqin will leave the day after tomorrow." Ning Weidong glanced at the things the two bought and said with a smile, "You two bought so many things, and you also brought clothes and bedding for Fengqin. How much luggage will it take? How can she carry it?" Both girls were stunned. Neither of them had ever traveled far away. When they thought about Bai Fengqin going to school thousands of kilometers away, they felt that she should bring everything with her. Ning Weidong walked over and continued, "Take what you should take, and don't carry everything you shouldn't take, or you'll be at a loss when you get on and off the train." When Bai Fengqin heard this, she realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although women of this era were relatively strong and there were almost no delicate women, their strength was limited after all. He hurriedly said, "Brother Weidong, can you help me see what I should bring?" Ning Weidong was dragged into the Bai family's house. Although I am leaving the day after tomorrow, I have already packed up a lot of things in the house. Ning Weidong glanced around and said, "You don't need to bring the wash basin or anything else. Go buy new ones later." Bai Fengqin said "Oh" and obediently took out an enamel basin with a red background and peony flowers. Ning Weidong added: "As for bedding, the school should provide it, but it probably won't be new. But if you dry it in the sun and knock it over, it should be fine. Just bring a set of new sheets and quilt covers. If you think it's too dirty, you can just bring a set with you." Bai Fengqin hurriedly said, "I'm not that pretentious." and pulled out the quilt again. Ning Weidong then mentioned a few more things and helped Bai Fengqin to reduce her luggage. But in this era, it was not like later times. You could just pick up your bag and go wherever you wanted to go, and buy whatever you needed when you got there. In this day and age, many things require tickets and cannot be bought even if you have money in your pocket. Ning Weidong added: "By the way, although Jingzhou City is considered to be in the south, it is damp and cold in winter. Don't think that the south is not cold. Bring your cotton-padded clothes for the winter." Bai Fengqin was stunned. She had never been out of the capital since she was a child. Bai Fengyu was in the same boat. She had only heard people say that the south was very warm and it didn't snow in winter. But this silly girl didn't even bring a cotton coat. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there. A rainy day in winter in Jingzhou City will make you cry from the cold." After giving some pointers, Ning Weidong said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll have Ruyi drive you to the train station." Bai Fengqin was stunned, while Bai Fengyu felt a little guilty and quickly said no. Ning Weidong insisted, so the two of them had no choice but to agree. Ning Weidong continued, "By the way, don't take too much money with you when you leave. Just bring twenty or thirty for emergencies. I'll remit the money to you once you've settled down." Bai Fengqin said: "I know, I don't need much money. The school gives me fifteen yuan a month in college subsidy, which is enough." Ning Weidong waved his hand and said, "Fifteen yuan is enough to eat in the cafeteria, but if you want to buy a book or a piece of clothing, you will have to spend money." Bai Fengqin still said, "Really? It's not necessary." She could tell that Ning Weidong wanted to give her money. Bai Fengyu didn't stop them. In her eyes, Ning Weidong was half-brother-in-law of Bai Fengqin, and it was only right for him to give some money to his sister-in-law to go to college. It was just that she was not in a position to say this, but since Ning Weidong took the initiative, she would not stop him. Ning Weidong said, "Okay, listen to me. I'll give you an extra 30 yuan a month for your living expenses during the next few years when you go to college." He then looked at Bai Fengyu and said, "Put this money with your sister first, and I'll remit it to you every month." At the end, he explained, "It's not good for you to have too much money in your hands when you are alone outside. It's not safe." Bai Fengqin didn't know what to do. She guessed that Ning Weidong would give her money before leaving, but she didn't expect him to give so much. Thirty dollars a month, that’s three hundred and sixty dollars a year, and more than a thousand dollars in four years. She didn't know whether she should accept it or not, and looked at Bai Fengyu. Bai Fengyu was also surprised, but nodded after a slight hesitation.
Bai Fengqin then agreed and thanked Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong said, "Fengqin, I didn't give you this money to spend recklessly. Use part of it on your studies, and the rest on buying some decent clothes. Going to college is not like going to middle school. College is like entering society. As the old saying goes, respect your clothes first and then respect your people. Dressing neatly and appropriately will leave a good impression on others. The other thing is socializing. You need to get to know your classmates and teachers at school." Bai Fengqin listened with blinking eyes. What Ning Weidong said touched upon her blind spots in knowledge. No one had ever told her this before. Before she was admitted to university, all she had to do was study. Ning Weidong emphasized: "Especially the relationship with teachers! I heard someone say that if you are an ordinary person, then your university teacher may be the most amazing person you can meet in your life. Don't be silly and listen to the class and disappear after class. Take this opportunity to establish a personal relationship with the teacher. If it is a female teacher, make friends with him. If it is a male teacher, make friends with his wife or daughter. Do you understand~" Bai Fengqin sucked rice like a little chick. She was very smart. Although she didn't quite understand at first, she immediately realized how important it was that Ning Weidong said these words to her. It is likely that many of her classmates who went to college with her did not realize this until several years later. By that time, they may have already graduated, lost the opportunity, and regretted it. Bai Fengyu on the side also suddenly realized. She had no such awareness at all and just thought that everything would be fine as long as Bai Fengqin was admitted to university. After giving some instructions, Ning Weidong went back. The two sisters of the Bai family were left. Bai Fengqin was still looking through the window into Ning Weidong's room, admiringly saying, "Sister, how come Brother Weidong knows everything? He hasn't even been to college..." Bai Fengyu said, "In the past, people said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Although Weidong has never been to college, he has been to the countryside and traveled hundreds of miles. At home, he has been influenced by Brother Ning and his wife, so of course he is well-informed." Bai Fengqin nodded, but she felt something was wrong. There are many people who go to the countryside to work, but no one who comes back can be like Ning Weidong. There's just no point in arguing. …… On the other side, An Ning returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. I turned on the electric fan in the room and sat on the rattan chair to enjoy the breeze. In this season, leather sofas are not as comfortable as this old-fashioned rattan chair. While enjoying the breeze, An Ning was thinking about the meeting with Ning Weidong just now. After about twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door. As soon as she came back just now, she asked someone to look for An Zhiyuan. I guess he should be here by now. I got up and opened the door, and it was indeed An Zhiyuan. After staying in Beijing for a few months, An Zhiyuan changed a lot of his dress style in order to fit in with the social circles here. At least now no one can tell at first glance that he is from outside. "What's the matter? Why are you calling me here so urgently?" An Zhiyuan changed his slippers and saw that An Ning had been drinking.
An Ning didn't keep the secret and said directly: "I just met with Ning Weidong." An Zhiyuan suddenly became energetic. Just as Ning Weidong expected, although he had met some kids from big courtyards recently, and they would drink and brag to each other, but when it came to the serious matter, none of them could solve the problem. That's why he reacted like this when An Ning mentioned Ning Weidong today. He quickly asked, "He's looking for you?" An Ning glanced at him and said, "I'm looking for someone~" An Zhiyuan was a little disappointed. If Ning Weidong took the initiative to find An Ning, it meant that something had happened on Ning Weidong's side. In fact, it was Ning Weidong who found An Ning. But An Ning changed his tone for his own benefit. Even so, An Zhiyuan still held out hope, because if there was no progress, An Ning would not have specially called him over and asked, "What's going on?" An Ning considered her words carefully and said, "It's about the last time. We didn't reach an agreement. I thought I couldn't just accept it, so I went to him again. Ning Weidong was very persistent at first, but... this time he seemed to be a little reluctant and said he could meet you again." "Really~" An Zhiyuan was overjoyed. He has been under a lot of pressure recently, and Hong Kong has urged him to go back more than once. But he was unwilling to do so. If he went back in such disgrace, he would definitely be criticized, which would have a great impact on him. But if I don't go back and continue to stay in Beijing, I won't see any opportunities. Unexpectedly, just when he was in a dilemma, An Ning brought him an unexpected good news! (End of this chapter)
