"Cough cough, stop, I know you are still not happy. But this matter is over like this. By the way, how do you think about the insurance research?"

"Director Li, I still decided to give up."

"I've told you that even if you give up your postgraduate qualifications, you still have to apologize to Mr. Xue."

"Going to apologize on Monday?"

"The time is not certain. The school gave Mr. Xue a week off. He will come to the school next Friday. I will notify you then."

"Ah."

"Okay, nothing else matters."

"Thank you Director Li."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei didn't open WeChat to see what was written in the notice that belonged to him, but hurriedly dialed his mother's number.

Generally, there is nothing at home, and my mother rarely calls him, and he usually calls back on a fixed Sunday night.

I called this morning, there is a high probability that there is something wrong.

"Hey, Xiao Ning, have you eaten yet?"

The phone was dialed, and Ning Wei felt relieved when she heard her mother's voice was calm.

"I'm about to go to dinner. I was studying in the library just now. The phone didn't turn on the sound. I didn't hear the call. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, by the way, is there any result about your insurance research?"

"The grades were barely up to par."

"Oh, that's it." The voice of the mother on the other side was a little lonely, and there was a taste of hesitation.

"Mom, don't worry, although I didn't succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination, I did a good job in studying, and I am very sure about the postgraduate entrance examination." Ning Wei said quickly.

"I'm not worried about your studies..."

Ning's mother didn't finish her sentence, and Ning Wei also realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What's the matter, Mom, just tell me, or I'll book a ticket to go home now."

"Hey, it's not that the factory is not doing well recently..."

Hearing this, Ning's mother immediately began to confide.

It turned out that since last year, due to the emergence of an alternative and higher-tech product in the market, sales and benefits have continued to decrease.

Correspondingly, the factory is currently only maintaining 60.00% of its production capacity due to insufficient orders.Then the management changed the performance calculation method, and the wages of front-line employees were reduced by about 30.00% on average.

Of course, Ningwei's family is not that kind of particularly poor family.

But to support a college student and pay the housing loan, for a dual-career family, each person’s salary is reduced by 30.00% per month, which is still a big blow to a small family.

Ningwei's living expenses were not short, and the two adults didn't mention it when they went home during the summer vacation.

But seeing that the child is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the two adults specifically checked the tuition fee standard of Jiang Da Mathematics College, which is about 8000 yuan a year. In addition, graduate students have to prepare some living expenses for the child. According to the current standard, 1200 a month is not too much. difficulty.

So Lao Ning sent his family's antique motorcycle for overhaul and used his spare time after get off work to go for a ride. He could earn some money to subsidize his family. On average, he could earn five to sixty yuan a day.

This has only been done for more than a month, and Lao Ning fell when he came home last night.

A 50-year-old is a [-]-year-old, and it’s fine if he falls. Lao Ning is still reluctant to go to the hospital, refuses to rest, and insists on waiting for his health to get better and go for a motorcycle ride. Ning Wei made the call.

Of course, Lao Ning was absolutely not allowed to make this call. This was because an old Chinese doctor friend of the family came to help Lao Ning apply medicine, and Ning's mother used the excuse of going out to buy vegetables to call Ning Wei.

Now he is also avoiding the calls that Lao Ning answered in the kitchen, and wants Ning Wei to persuade Lao Ning not to work so hard at night.

"Okay, mom, I got it. By the way, I have some good news to tell you. I won the first-class scholarship for outstanding students of the college this year, with 5000 yuan, and the college decided to recommend me to apply for the school. If I get all the Huawei scholarships, I basically don’t need living expenses from my family in my senior year.”

Ning Wei said bravely.

"Huh? Really?"

"Can I lie to you about this? I won't eat anymore!"

"You kid is really promising, I'll tell Lao Ning now..."

"Wait, Mom, don't talk about it first. Dad will know that you called me if you talk about it? I'm telling my dad tonight, and I'll leave this matter to me. "

"Okay, let's put it this way, I'll cook first. Your Uncle Xu came to help your father set his bones last night. You have relied on him for the past two days, so why don't you keep him for dinner today?"

"Okay, then I'll hang up first!"

……

"call……"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei let out a hard breath.

Well, he did receive a scholarship for three consecutive years from freshman to junior year, which is why Ning's mother believed him, but they were all second-class scholarships, only 1000 yuan.

This year, due to various reasons, I missed the scholarship.

This is just great……

Ning Wei thought about the remaining 600 yuan in the card, and felt like crying.

Fortunately, as the backing of the dormitory, there seems to be 500 yuan in the meal card.

So here comes the question, how to survive for three months with 100 yuan?This is really a problem!

019 I invite you to drink coffee

In Ning Wei's view, Lao Ning is a stubborn, irritable, silent father with fierce fists.At least the blame for his inability to express his feelings must be blamed on Lao Ning.

Lao Ning saves face, but does not compare.

The specific manifestation is that I always have two sets of clothes, and I never talk to relatives and friends when my family is in trouble.

For example, when he was short of money to buy a house, when the factory was doing well, he would work overtime to earn allowances and bonuses.

It directly led to Ning Wei often not seeing Lao Ning at home when he was in elementary school.

Lao Ning's education methods for Ning Wei's middle and primary school were also extremely simple and rude. There was no patient persuasion.

This also caused Ning Wei to hate Lao Ning before entering high school.

But there is one thing that Ning Wei has to admit, no matter how rough Lao Ning is to him, as long as his son eats at home every day, there will always be a large bowl of meat, which will not be repeated, in front of him.

Ningwei liked beef the most when he was a child, so most of the time there was a big pot of stewed beef in front of him, which was delicious when dipped in sauce.

In Ningwei's memory, the time when Lao Ning smiled at him the happiest was the day when Jiangcheng University's admission letter was mailed home.

That night, Lao Ning invited all the primary, junior and high school teachers who could teach Ning Wei, and held a well-behaved teacher appreciation banquet at a mid-range restaurant in the city. Ning, she laughed from ear to ear all night.

Now Lao Ning is 50 years old, but he is still irritable. He can fall down while riding a bicycle, and he refuses to go to the hospital. The most terrifying thing is that Lao Ning has never been afraid of his wife until now!

On the way to the cafeteria, thinking back to the old Ning in memory, Ning Wei's tears flowed out unconsciously, this bad old man, stubborn and ruthless!

What makes Ning even worse is that Lao Ning is not as easy to fool as his mother, he will believe whatever he says.

Because Lao Ning is very good at judging others by himself, what he always said is: "If a son doesn't lie to me, is he still a son?"

No reason!

I like to lie to my father, so I think that all the sons in the world like to lie to me, so who can Ning Wei turn to for reasoning?

……

"Ning Wei, where the hell have you been? I didn't answer your calls, and didn't reply to your WeChat messages?"

The shoulder was patted, which also made Ning Wei break free from the depression. Looking back, it was Luo Xiang.

Looking past Luo Xiang, there are a man and three women behind him.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Are you crying?" Luo Xiang asked in surprise.

"I'm sick, why cry when I have nothing to do? The wind was strong just now, and the sand blew into my eyes." Ning Wei rubbed the corners of his eyes casually, and replied annoyedly.

"Aren't you guys studying by yourself?"

"I also have to eat during self-study. I originally said to go out to eat, but Xu Mo and Yang Xiaohui both said that we can eat casually in the cafeteria, so we came over to eat together. Hey, I happened to meet you boy! Lao Ning, Lao Ning, Are you trying to piss me off? Taylor's formula plus intermediate value theorem?"

Within two sentences, Xu Ruixuan also came over and began to criticize Ning Wei.

Ning Wei smiled, looked up at Yang Xiaohui, and happened to meet her eyes, and then both of them quickly looked away.

It's still a little embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, let's go to eat together when we meet, why are you crowded at the entrance of the cafeteria?" Xu Mo glared at Xu Ruixuan, and said carelessly.

"Let's go, I'm going to treat you today, don't let anyone steal it from me. But classmate Ning Wei, next time I ask you a question, you have to show face!" Luo Xiang said, patting Ning Wei on the shoulder.

……

Soon several people prepared meals, and six people happened to sit at the table in the cafeteria.

Three boys sit on one side and three girls sit on the other.

Because the other two couples basically confirmed their relationship, Ning Wei could see Yang Xiaohui on the opposite side when he raised his eyes.

more embarrassing.

"Hey, Ning Wei, I didn't mean you. We are all in a fellowship dormitory. You sent Yang Xiaohui back yesterday, and you didn't even say you took the initiative to add a WeChat account? How can you be a man?" Luo Xiang, who was sitting next to Ning Wei, said. .

The two girls on the opposite side lowered their heads and smiled. In exchange for Yang Xiaohui's angry white eyes, Ning Wei's eyes lit up.

Yup!

If he said that he had won a first-class scholarship, or that some brothers in the dormitory helped him lie, there is a high probability that Lao Ning would not believe it.

Moreover, if Lao Ning persisted in verifying and revealing his secrets, he might work even harder, and my mother couldn't control this man at all.

But if it is his girlfriend, Lao Ning will probably believe it, because Lao Ning has always believed that girls generally do not deceive their elders.

This probably has something to do with Lao Ning's childhood experience.

Lao Ning and his elder brother are both mischievous and mischievous, and they will come out with their mouths if they lie.

But Ning Wei's aunt was different, she never wanted the two brothers to get along with each other and deceive their parents...

So if a girl is willing to help him lie, maybe he can get by.

Yang Xiaohui is really a suitable candidate.

Because at least this girl is not the kind of talkative girl.

If Yang Xiaohui had told the dormitory what the two of them had chatted with last night, Luo Xiang and Xu Ruixuan must have known by now that they had made a great ambition to be a graduate student at Peking University and Tsinghua University. When I was queuing up for dinner just now, I had already teased myself.

But it didn't, which meant that the girl didn't talk much, even if he told her about his situation, he wouldn't spread it around.

As for telling Yang Xiaohui about the predicament he is currently encountering, whether it will affect the girl's perception of him, Ning Wei doesn't care.

Anyway, he didn't intend to pursue this girl.

And he doesn't think that being poor at home is the original sin or something shameful, he just doesn't want the guys in the dormitory to know, and then start caring about it on a daily basis.

Probably influenced by Lao Ning, Ning Wei hopes to get out of the predicament with his own hands.

With this in mind, Ning Wei sincerely asked the girl opposite: "Then, can I add you on WeChat?"

"Aren't you in the group in the fellowship dormitory?" Yang Xiaohui said angrily.

Is this boy really stupid or just pretending?This also has to ask?

Ning Wei patted his forehead. The direct consequence of having three chatterers in the dormitory was that whenever he was pulled into a group chat by these three, the first thing he did was click on the group message Do Not Disturb.

Then he put aside the fact that he had joined the group chat.

The other two girls laughed more happily, and the two bad friends in the dormitory looked at Ning Wei approvingly, most likely feeling emotional in their hearts, this child has finally enlightened.

However, what made them more happy was yet to come.

Ning Wei is not only enlightened, but also learned to infer other things from one instance.

After a brief lunch in the cafeteria, when Xu Ruixuan proposed to go out for a stroll in the afternoon, Ning Wei said to Yang Xiaohui: "Well, student Yang Xiaohui, how about I invite you to have a cup of coffee?"

When Yang Xiaohui hesitated for a moment and nodded in response, Luo Xiang and Xu Ruixuan secretly gave Ning Wei a thumbs up.

As a well-known comprehensive double-first-class university in China, the coffee shop in Jiangcheng University is delicious and not expensive.

Ning Wei brought Yang Xiaohui to Jane Coffee next to the sixth building of Meishe.

In addition to the fact that the coffee here is really not expensive, it is also because the layout of the second floor of the coffee shop is unique and private.
