In October, the autumn leaves turn yellow and the sycamore trees lose their leaves! At this time in the Republic of China, the concept of a holiday golden week had not yet been formed.
Han Songlin had been in Jiangzhong for a long time, until Liu Yuyan called to remind him that he should prepare to go to the capital.
Go to the capital?
I almost forgot.
Zhou Tong is getting married, so I have to go.
Anyway, what should he get her for a wedding present?
A cash gift?
That would be fine.
Before going to the capital, Han Songlin went home for a visit. Zhou Tong sent an invitation from the capital, saying that the wedding was really something.
As soon as he opened the door, something hit him, but fortunately Han Songlin was quick and caught the pillow.
Han Ting stood on the sofa, her eyes wide, her hands covering her mouth. The look in her eyes and the expression on her face were very cute!
Han Songlin looked at the pillow in his hands. It wasn't a big pillow, and it was filled with goose down.
As for whether it was real or not, Han Songlin really wasn't sure. Anyway, it was quite expensive when he bought it.
It didn't feel heavy in his hands.
Han Songlin wanted to say something, and at the very least, he wanted to lecture Han Ting a little, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
'Dad!' Han Yingzi exclaimed, getting off the sofa and hugging Han Songlin's thighs.
Han Songlin looked at the scene in the middle of the living room and couldn't help but twitch his mouth a little.
Han Yumeng stumbled over and also came over, asking Han Songlin for a hug.
Han Songlin threw the cushion onto the sofa, picked Han Yumeng up, and pinched her little face, which was extremely cute.
'Han Ting, why don't you put the things on the floor back together? Where's your mother? She'll be so angry with you when she sees this!'
Children really are like that. When they're having fun, they don't care about anything.
It's hard to know what to say.
Get angry, but think about how you were when you were a child.
Han Songlin grabbed Han Yingzi by the collar, lifted her up and put her down on the sofa. He wasn't curious about why Han Yingzi was at home.
It was normal for cousins to come and visit each other.
'Mum's gone out!'
Liu Yuyan has gone out?
And she's left the kids alone at home?
"Auntie Tang Yan is here!'
Tang Yan is here.
Where is she?
Han Songlin saw Tang Yan, sitting on the deckchair on the balcony, looking very relaxed.
She had actually fallen asleep.
Han Songlin kicked the chair, and Tang Yan woke up. She was still a little dazed from just waking up.
'Ah, Uncle, you're back!'
Han Songlin didn't care about the way Tang Yan addressed him. This girl was more eccentric than most children her age in the world.
He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing!
'Where's your sister, Yu Yan?'
Tang Yan got up and hurriedly went to see Han Yufei in the bedroom.
Little one, you didn't wet the bed, did you?
'Sister Yu Yan went to the market to buy food.'
She went to buy food?
Tang Yan carried Han Yufei out and the little one looked at Han Songlin with a puzzled expression on his face before reaching out for a hug.
Han Songlin couldn't help but smile. Not bad, not bad!
He sat down on the sofa with Han Yufei and Han Yumeng in his arms. Han Yufei was now over a year old and had passed through her infancy, entering toddlerhood.
'Come on, say 'daddy'!'
'Daddy!' Han Yufei called out, and then reached out to touch Han Songlin's face.
Tang Yan sat on the side, leaning against the sofa. She wanted to sit next to Han Songlin, but there was no room.
Han Ting was on her left, and Han Yingzi was on her right.
'Uncle, are you going to Beijing?'
'Yes!' Han Songlin glanced at Tang Yan, and then blurted out, 'It's okay, you'll go next year!'
Thinking about Tang Yan's grades, Han Songlin said that he really underestimated her.
Usually, although Han Songlin is not at home, when he talks to Liu Yuyan on the phone, he also cares about the situation at home and the grades of Liu Yang and Tang Yan.
Liu Yang's grades in the monthly exam in September were quite good, and he came in second in his grade.
As for Tang Yan, she still occupies the first place in the liberal arts grade.
Judging from previous years, the student who comes first in the arts at Yuechi No. 1 Middle School can basically get into either of the two universities in the capital.
'If I go to school in the capital next year, will you send me?'
Han Songlin thought for a moment and said, 'If you really get in, I'll definitely send you both. We'll go to the capital together, visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the square.'
Liu Yuyan went grocery shopping with Liu Yang. Watching Liu Yang carry big bags and small bags in her hands, Liu Yuyan only had a little in hers.
Han Songlin didn't say anything either, just giving Liu Yang a pitying look.
'Brother-in-law!'
Han Songlin looked at Liu Yang doubtfully. What's with this hesitation?
'Yes?' Han Songlin put the rice under the counter in the kitchen.
'Yes, I want to ask, is there internet there!'
Internet?
What an old-fashioned term. People in the future generally call it the internet.
The Internet is made up of millions of computers connected together via the network.
'The backbone of the Internet in our country is still under construction, so we won't be able to use it until next year.'
Han Songlin didn't know the history of the development of the Internet in China, but he did know that the pig farm was built in 1997 and the goose farm in 1998.
As for cats and dogs, it was still too early to talk about them.
As for the number of degrees, he couldn't remember.
The year 1998 was a very special year in the history of the Chinese Internet. As for why it was this year, Han Songlin feels that it should have a lot to do with the fact that the construction of the Internet's infrastructure had reached a certain stage.
Anyway, China is indeed very fast when it comes to infrastructure construction.
For example, the future 5G network, from being decided on to being made available to users, took less than a year, and it has already achieved nationwide coverage of prefecture-level cities.
Han Songlin also wants to have the internet, and when he reads the newspaper, he pays a little attention to it.
'You'll go to school in the capital next year, and at that time, you'll be able to access the internet. Our country, the place where the most advanced technology happens, is the capital. Our small county in the west is so isolated.'
Liu Yang nodded solemnly. There was less than a year left, and he could wait.
'Do you find high school studies difficult?'
Liu Yang thought for a moment and said, 'It's okay, it's not too difficult.'
Not too difficult!
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Han Songlin's mouth: 'In this regard, I don't want to give any advice or anything like that. Just a good balance of work and rest. Also, don't push yourself too hard. In this life, standing at the cusp of the times is a lifetime, and living at the end of the wave is also a lifetime. Overall, whether at the cusp or at the end of the wave, we are all above the trends of the times.'
Liu Yang lowered his eyes, then looked at Han Songlin brightly again: 'Brother-in-law, you are already on the crest of the wave, and I want to see what the view from up there is like!'
Han Songlin suddenly smiled and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder: "Ambitious!'
Liu Yang, has he grown to this extent already?
Han Songlin was very happy in his heart.
Liu Yuyan: "What are you two chatting about? Hurry up and give up your seats, do you still want to eat?'
Han Songlin and Liu Yang glanced at each other and gave up their seats.
Tang Yan entered the kitchen to help, and the two of them talked inside, with laughter coming from time to time.
Han Songlin stayed at home for two days, and then left for Rongcheng, from where he had to take a plane to the capital.
Han Songlin went to the capital alone, as Liu Yuyan had to stay at home to take care of the children.
