Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 107: Goodbye

The heat is unbearable, even if you sit still, you can sweat all over.

The black-and-white TV at home finally announced its end of life when it was repaired for the fourth time.

"I'll buy a new one tomorrow. I am not used to having a TV at home." Li Minghua is a TV fan at home.

"I heard that a color TV cost more than 3,000 yuan, but it's better to buy black and white. These are enough for a year's tuition. Why is it so wasteful." Liu Chunzhi was used to saving money and was reluctant to spend the money.

"I just want to change to a color TV. It has colors, clear images, and it looks good."

The couple quarreled again about the TV, and Li Wei was able to enjoy himself listening to the radio while hiding in his room.

Parents' bickering seems to be commonplace to the family, and they have long been used to it. A pair of children also let them go, and did not persuade them.

Li Jianping walked into Li Wei's room, but saw Li Wei lying on the table listening to a song. He walked over and took out a box.

"Congratulations on entering the university, this is a gift from me."

Li Wei sat up and took a look, but saw that it was a small paper box. She asked, "What's inside?"

"You can use it, I went to several places to buy it."

Li Wei opened it curiously. There was a small walkman inside. It happened that there was a tape at home. She hurriedly put a cassette in and listened to it. The effect was not bad.

"Thank you, brother, for your gift. It is much more convenient to practice English listening."

"Dad said that when your notice comes down, we will go back to have a banquet to invite relatives, friends and neighbors. Anyway, you are also the first female college student to come out of our village. It's a great event to celebrate."

"I don't think I need to be so solemn. Reading is my own business, and I am responsible for my family. Why should everyone in the village know about it."

Li Jianping smiled and said, "Don't you understand. Dad felt that he finally raised his eyebrows, and his daughter saved him face. His face is bright. Besides, there are many college entrance banquets in this city. We have received a few more in our shop. It’s not a rare thing anymore. Good things should be let everyone know.”

Placing the wine for further studies reminded Li Wei of Daqi’s Luming Banquet and Qionglin Banquet. At the time, her third brother, Jinshi, Qionglin, hosted a banquet, which was probably the most energetic time in his life.

August 18 was a great day, and Li Wei finally waited for Nanyin's admission notice. She was holding the big red notice. This was a future she had earned. Her second brother must also like it when she knew it.

The day after she received the notice, she reported her situation to Chen Yating, and Chen Yating on the phone was also happy for her.

"It's really difficult to see each other now, when will you come to my house."

After hanging up the phone, Li Wei rode to Chen's house. Father Chen taught the basic skills of several apprentices, and he was very happy to see her here and blessed her: "Weiwei, congratulations."

"Where is Yating?"

"She's in her room, go ahead."

Li Wei went to the back room, the window opened, and a small electric fan was placed on the table. Chen Yating was sitting on a wicker chair and was reading a thick martial arts novel. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she did not raise her head. She was still immersed in herself. In the world.

"Yating!"

"You are here." Chen Yating finally closed the book.

After the college entrance examination scores were announced, Chen Yating felt bad. Her scores did not reach the undergraduate level. The family planned to let her repeat the college entrance examination for another year and take the college entrance examination again next year.

"when are you leaving?"

"It's the 29th, I'm afraid that the ticket is not easy to buy and leave early."

Chen Yating had some dismay in her eyes. She turned around and gave Li Wei a hug: "I have been a friend for three years. I was really unaccustomed to parting, so remember to write to me later."

Li Wei said: "Yes, I will call you too. How about you, decide whether to stay or go?"

Chen Yating said: "I don't want to waste another year of youth. What about college? Both are studying nursing, and college degree is enough. I can work a year earlier. It's just that the notice has not yet come down."

Two young girls of the same age talked about the future, and both were full of sadness.

"Hu Linlin, I called her house several times but no one answered, and I don't know what's wrong with her."

Chen Yating said: "Her score is enough, she should be able to go. By the way, you know Lin Haishu?"

Li Wei listened carefully and said: "What about him, his score is very good, he is said to be the eighth in the city, should he be able to go to a good school?"

"I heard that he is going abroad."

Another one is going abroad. Is going abroad also popular now?

"Go to America too?"

"I don't know much about this. If you have a good relationship with him, you know better than me."

Li Wei said: "I called him before, and I heard that he was out on a trip, so I didn't contact him again."

"He is a bit interesting. I remember sitting behind us when he was in high school. He was a very quiet person, and I found him very shy. I have never seen a shy boy like him when he grew up. Lian told a girl You have to blush in a word, and I teased him at the time, it flies so fast."

Li Wei knows that in a few years, today will become a memory, and I hope her friendship with Chen Yating will remain unchanged by then. In her previous life, she had no friends except her own sister. After entering the palace, the concubines in the harem took the initiative to draw up a relationship with her, and some were jealous of her. In any case, they were taking their own interests. Later, she moved into Chongqing Palace, and there was no one beside her who even talked to Wan Su, but in the end, even Wan Su betrayed her. She was a lonely person, all her life.

After returning from the Chen family, Li Wei dialed the series of numbers again, and after five rings, the phone was finally connected.

"Hey……"

"It's me, how are you? I saw your painting, it's very good, thank you."

Li Wei stood against the wall, her fingers twisting the phone line subconsciously. She was silent for a while before she said again: "I heard you are going to leave. When is it set?"

Lin Haishu over there said: "The 27th plane."

"Where to fly?"

"Australia."

"Good, congratulations."

Lin Haishu here smiled and said, "Thank you, congratulations, and hope to see you again in the future."

"Well, as long as you have to return to China, you should be able to see you again. When will you be free, how about meeting?

With his chest thumping, Lin Haishu hesitated for a long time before returning to Li Wei's words: "I'm afraid I don't have time. I'll see you later."

Seeing Lin Hai's refusal, Li Wei stopped insisting: "That's it, congratulations again. Thank you for your care for three years. I am very happy to meet a friend like you."

"I'm very happy too, thank you, Li Wei."

Lin Haishu hung up the phone, his face flushed. He knew that he had missed the best time to tell his thoughts, and he was about to leave now. He didn't know what other changes would be made in the future. Ten thousand words only turned into a thank you.
