Chapter 679 But this money...
"Have you talked about it?"
Meng Wantang said this with a smile, then turned and ran away.
"This kid!"
Lin Su laughed and scolded.
The smile in her eyes never faded.
After several years of getting along, her daughter finally started to act like a child in front of her. She used to pretend to be mature, like an adult, and put the burden of the family on her shoulders.
Mingming wanted to be a doctor, so in order to avoid gossip, he had to go to college. After graduation, in order to avoid gossip, he had to work for a period of time in the company, and only after he saved everyone's face did he open his own small clinic.
In all these years at home, she has never lived for herself and has always been thinking about others.
How could Lin Su not feel distressed?
Meng Wantang had no time to grieve over the passing of time. She could not find out any news about her grandparents, but from the information about those great scientists that came to light decades later, she could see that they were making silent contributions.
They can receive news from the outside world through newspapers, magazines...
Unfortunately, she is not a professional technician.
Maybe I can even publish some papers in authoritative foreign journals.
and many more!
She can't do it, but there is someone in her family who can!
Meng Wantang turned around and went into the house and called Lin Hao.
"Hello, please call user 8888, please call me back as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Wantang didn't go anywhere else. Instead, she took a book on Chinese medicinal materials and sat on the sofa to read it.
Lin Hao has not graduated yet and is still working hard to pass the postgraduate entrance examination in order to further his studies.
He had just returned from the school library and had just walked to the door of the dormitory when he heard the pager ringing. He lowered his head to take down the pager, turned it on, and immediately turned around and walked out.
There is a canteen in the school with several public telephones, but the phone charges are a bit expensive.
Generally speaking, Lin Hao wouldn't make a phone call unless it was urgent.
Although, he is not short of money.
He couldn't spend all the monthly subsidy from the school, so his sister gave him a hundred yuan every month, asking him to eat more and not let himself suffer.
When his mother called him, she said, "Your sister is better than me, and a better mother than me. She really treated you like half her own child! When you grow up, you must never forget your sister. Even if you get married and have children, you must tell your wife and children how well your sister treated you."
Lin Hao knew that it was his sister who helped his mother get through the darkest period in his family.
In fact, the life their family has now is all thanks to his sister.
He also knew that the reason why his sister treated him so well and loved him like her own brother was that his mother had taken good care of his aunt, and his sister had treated him well silently without saying anything.
Lin Hao quickened his pace and soon arrived at the convenience store.
"Auntie, let me make a call."
"let's hit!"
The aunt was knitting inside. She looked up at Lin Hao and pointed at the phone next to her and said, "This can be used for long-distance calls. Long-distance calls cost 80 cents per minute."
Lin Hao nodded, picked up the long-distance phone and dialed his home number.
The phone rang twice before it was connected.
"Lin Hao?"
"Ah."
Before Lin Hao could speak, Meng Wantang said very quickly, "Ask your school about studying abroad. I'll send you there. Give me your answer as soon as possible. Don't say you don't want to go. Only when you return from abroad after completing your studies can you serve your country."
"Sister, I..."
Lin Hao had just said one word when Meng Wantang continued, "I opened a clinic and it's doing pretty well. Of course, it's mainly about making money. Your mother is fine, and so are the other people in the family. You don't have to worry about them. Is there anything you can do?"
Lin Hao opened his mouth, with a lot to say but one question: "Sister, do I have to stay with this student?"
"Of course, if you want to further your studies, you can't just stay in China. You can't just scrape together the little things you have now. You have to go out and see the wider world before you can come back to serve your country. So, think about it carefully and call me back tomorrow morning."
"understood."
Lin Hao hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
He looked down at the time and it was exactly 58 seconds.
His sister is quite punctual in timing.
Accurately hang up the machine and don't let him spend a penny more.
Lin Hao paid the money and stood there for a long time without moving. Only when someone came to make a phone call did he slowly walk back.
It's not that he is not calm, it's that anyone would feel uncalm.
He is smart, but he is far behind his sister. After entering university, he studied very hard. The more he learned, the more he understood how vast the ocean of knowledge is.
The school had places for students studying abroad at public expense, but he knew he couldn't compete for it and had never even thought about it.
But his sister suddenly called him and knocked him dizzy.
So he can also study abroad?
No, is studying abroad really that easy?
My sister said it seemed easier than drinking water.
He was a little overwhelmed.
Lin Hao walked halfway and turned back.
He walked to the pay phone and said to his aunt, "Aunt, I want to make another long distance call."
"It's still this phone. Please dial the number!"
Long distance calls are usually locked.
If you don't unlock it, you can only make local calls.
Lin Hao called the hospital and it happened to be Lin Jing who answered: "Hello, who is this?"
"Mom, it's me."
"Haohao?"
Lin Jing was very surprised. She didn't expect her son to call her suddenly.
She was worried about her son and asked him with concern: "Haohao, is there something wrong? Are you short of money? Or did you not do well in the exam and need to repeat the grade, or were you expelled?"
Her son's hesitant tone did not allow Lin Jing to remain calm. She thought a lot in an instant.
Lin Hao was speechless.
"Mom, I'm fine. My sister called me just now. She asked me to think carefully about whether I want to study abroad. It seems that she wants to send me abroad. Mom, studying abroad will cost a lot of money."
Lin Jing also fell silent.
The reason she remained silent was not because her niece wanted to send her son abroad, but because she heard the underlying meaning of her son's words just now.
My son wants to study abroad.
Yes!
Now is the time to go abroad
Most people go abroad to make money.
But there is still a large number of people who want to go out to study and further their studies.
Opportunities like this are rare.
My son is an excellent talent, so it is normal for him to be moved and yearn for it.
"You can go if you want to. Don't worry about the money. It's not that our family can't afford you. Besides, Mom has saved enough money over the years for you to study abroad."
When Lin Jing spoke with full confidence, what was in her mind was that after selling her house and adding up her salary over the years, the total was only 31,000.
This money may not even be enough for the children's tuition. Even if it is enough for the tuition, what about the travel expenses?
Where's the money for food?
She remembered that those who went abroad to study in the past all came from wealthy families. However, many students who went abroad at public expense lived frugally, studied hard, and also tried hard to find ways to make money.
Lin Jing tightened her fingers.
She didn't want her son to suffer so much.
But money...
