Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 50

The life Tang Xu hoped for has always been simple, some books, together with his parents, let them live a good life, and finally marry a good wife and give birth to one or two fat babies.

This wish is what many ordinary people want. Although it is very simple, it is also the most difficult.

Now Tang Xu seems to have completed a small half.

This year was the New Year that the Tang family spent together in the city, and the lightness of the New Year in the city did not affect the atmosphere of the Tang family's New Year's Eve. I took out all my good dishes, and I was busy all day just for this evening meal.

The whole family sat around the table and ate very deliciously. Tang Xu ate a lot with dignity. Tang's father has been in good health for half a year since the operation. His pale face gradually turned a little rosy, and he looked very energetic .

That night, they sat in the living room and turned on the heater, which was a rare luxury. The Spring Festival Gala was still on the TV, and the family had no unnecessary worries in the warm space.

In the second half of the third year of high school, Tang Xu's birthday was over, and he finally became an adult.

In the last semester of senior three, Tang Xu learned a new language, French, and combined with the learning experience of the first two languages, it took him 8 months to use it without hindrance, so in the second half of senior three During the semester, he started translating in three languages, and the workload continued to increase.

Tang Xu didn't move out of the dormitory because of his study, and he still lived under the same roof with Bai Liangshu and the others. On weekends, he would go home to be with his parents. The last time I kept praising Tang Mu's cooking skills for getting better and better, it made Tang Mu laugh from ear to ear.

At first, Tang’s mother proposed to go out to find a job within a few months after Tang’s operation, but Tang Xu stopped her and kept Tang’s mother at home on the grounds that her father was still weak, but after half a year, Tang’s mother couldn’t stay anymore. How can a person who has been used to being busy for decades bear staying at home all the time.

Tang's mother has nourished a lot in the past six months. Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Tang Xu went around to help her find a free handicraft job. This kind of handicraft work is more rewarding. The more you do, the higher the salary. It's not very tiring. Someone will come to collect the finished products and distribute materials every day. This job is very suitable for Tang's mother. She can work and take care of Tang's father at the same time. Naturally, her mother helped her with her busy work, and the two of them could earn a little less than half a hundred yuan a day, which at least subsidized some households.

Bai Liangshu and the others are very envious of this kind of life. Every time they go to Tang Xu's house, they will help Tang's mother to do a little. At the beginning, they are messy. Teach them, and later these few people became proficient, and every time they went to Tang's house, they would get itchy hands if they didn't do a few tricks.

Tang Xu would also be busy next to his parents at this time, watching those little things turn into a work of art on his mother's callused hands, Tang Xu would feel that his mother was really powerful and great.

The word greatness is not too much for Mother Tang. Twenty years of persistence and protection have brought about the comfort and comfort of today. Mother Tang thinks it is completely worthwhile to ask herself. What things are bitter before they are sweet can be truly realized. Life is not easy, even though Mother Tang is a country woman who has never seen the world, she still understands this truth.

The life of the Tang family is gradually on the right track, and Tang Xu is about to usher in the college entrance examination.

Tang Xu contacted a high school in his hometown during the first semester of his third year of high school. Originally, many foreign students chose to return to their hometown during their third year of high school, but Dehui High School is a little different from other schools. Students can go back to their hometown for the exam half a month before the exam. , if some students study well but have no connections, Dehui will help to contact the school where the candidate’s domicile is registered. No matter which area or school they are in, they will sell Dehui. Of course, this is only for some students who are very good at studying, and it needs to be half a year in advance Apply.

The college entrance examination these days is actually not strict, and many national policies are not clear, so as long as you return to the place where you live in time, there is a school that accepts the records and you can take the exam.

Tang Xu was going back to his hometown for half a month, and Tang's father and Tang mother insisted on accompanying him, and they went home to see the old house, but Tang Xu couldn't help but they finally agreed, and the family of three went back to their hometown together.

Once I got back to my hometown, I was warmly welcomed by the neighbors. A group of people wished Tang’s father a good look. After thanking Tang’s mother and Tang’s father, they were busy cleaning the house. The house that I hadn’t lived in for almost a year was terribly dirty. Dust was everywhere, but Mother Tang's hands and feet were quick enough to wash and scrub in half a day. Father Tang also helped a lot. Together with Tang Xu, they took the sheets to the river to wash and then dried them in the yard. The bedding was also dried in the yard.

The women next door who have a good relationship with Mrs. Tang came over to help and make fun of it. Seeing Mrs. Tang busy, she lamented that men’s health is different. It hasn’t changed a lot in a year. It was scary to be sick before. .

Tang's mother narrowed her eyes when she heard Tang's father being praised and laughed. If she hadn't been deceived by Tang's father's skin when she was young, she wouldn't have married him as a medicine jar, but it's okay, everything is fine now.

For the neighbors, the changes in the Tang family are undoubtedly upward. Tang Xu, whom he hasn't seen for two years, has grown up. Not to mention his height, he is filial and smart. He has become a hot topic in Yunfei Village when he comes back for the college entrance examination. On the topic, some people who wanted to see the Tang family's jokes are now too suffocated to speak. The son is promising, the father has recovered from illness and the mother is capable. This family is now only enviable and enviable.

Tang Xu went to the school to report and received a warm welcome from the principal. Tang Xu's grades have been in the top two in Dehui for three years. It is an honor, although such students are not taught by them.

In the next ten days or so, Tang Xu went to the school to report and attend classes from time to time, but found that the school's teaching progress was really urgent, but Tang Xu still listened to the teacher's class very carefully. For those who like to learn, it is good for the teacher to listen carefully This is a mentality of scholars.

On the first day Tang Xu went to school, there was a commotion in the school. It was very stressful that a person who had studied in high school in Dehui came to their school to take an exam. The students went to the official website of Dehui High School to check. In the case of Tang Xu, the school exploded, and the students knew within a few days that there was a student who was a top student in the school. In a school with great competition pressure like Dehui, everyone thought that he could maintain such good grades. Tang Xu will win the first place in the college entrance examination in City K in this year's college entrance examination, and of course the fact will be the same.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Tang Xu received an email from Ji Rong, wishing him a title on the gold list. Tang Xu smirked and replied with two words: yes.

On the day of the college entrance examination, June [-]th, the weather was already very hot, and the candidates were all in good condition.

Tang Xu was the same as before, and the speed of the test was also accurate. Tang Xu was quite calm, but he was a little nervous. The exams in the past two days are related to the future of many children, and it is the same for Tang Xu.

After the exams on the second day, there were cheers in the school. Some stressed-out children hugged each other and cried loudly after the exams. This was a reasonable way to vent.

The results of the college entrance examination will be announced in late June. Tang Xu and his parents stayed in his hometown for another week. A few days before going back to school to fill out the application, Tang Xu checked the information of B University. When he saw the biomedical major, he was a little moved. After his father's operation, he thought about whether he would be involved in medical professional studies in the future, but this kind of major is very time-consuming and energy-consuming, so he must not be able to do much part-time work intermittently, and the time is simply not enough for Tang Xu .

At night, Tang Xu sat in front of the computer and sent his thoughts to Ji Rong, then stared at the mailbox in a daze. Now he needs someone to give him some encouragement and affirmation, and he hopes that person can be Ji Rong.

It took two days to get a reply to this email.

"to: Tang Xu

If you want to learn it, go for it. This subject is very good, and the domestic medical market may be very broad in a few years. Don’t give up the possibility of the future because of a part-time job, or you will regret it.

by: Ji Rong. "

What Ji Rong said was right, Tang Xu's heart was no longer confused in an instant. When he went to the school to fill out his application, his first choice was B University, and his second choice was A University. Two prestigious schools of similar grades filled in both majors. It's biomedicine and engineering.

Afterwards, Tang Xu and his parents stayed in their hometown for a few more days. When they left, Tang's father and Tang's mother were very reluctant, but they had a son in the city, and they hoped to be with Tang Xu, so they had feelings for this old house again. Choice is still a child.

Back in city b, Tang Xu still went to report to Yin Lianchang. Yin Lianchang's company had grown into a large company, and it remained the same for half a year. Tang Xu really admired Yin Lianchang's business acumen.

"What major are you going to study in university?" Yin Lianchang had known Tang Xu for almost three years, so he naturally didn't regard Tang Xu as an outsider.

"Get ready to study biomedicine."

"As expected of Tang Xu, this major is in short supply now, and there are very few talents in this field. If you really want to study, you will have a bright future after graduation." Yin Lianchen patted Tang Xu on the shoulder and sighed, knowing this kid It won't be easy.

Tang Xu grabbed his head and chuckled: "This will become a very practical major, and I'm really interested."

"That's very good. You still have to be interested in your major in college, so that you will be motivated." No matter what decision Tang Xu makes, Yin Lianchen will always agree with it.

"Well, I will study hard." Tang Xu couldn't wait to go to class.
