"Why did Uncle Lin make you angry?" Qin Hao's gossip was also aroused.

Song Ying thought of the scene when she first met Lin Wufeng, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"Don't mention it. It was winter when I first met your Uncle Lin. He invited me out to watch a movie, but I froze on the way back. He was wrapped in a thick coat and didn't know how to put it on me.

Yes, I asked him later, and he said confidently: You didn't say it was cold, and besides, I was cold too when I gave you my coat."

Qin Hao was overjoyed. This was the 1970s. If it were the 21st century and a straight man like Lin Wufeng was like him, it would be difficult to find a girlfriend.

While they were talking, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting also came back, and the courtyard became more lively.

After dinner, Lin Dongzhe consciously went back to his room to do his homework. Song Ying pulled Qin Hao and asked in a low voice.

"Haozi, what on earth did you say to Dongzhe? Since he came back from Shanghai last time, he has become a completely different person. This time he got into the top 30 of his grade in the final exam. The teacher said that if he continues like this, he will be promoted directly.

The high school section of No. 1 Middle School is very promising.”

Qin Hao smiled: "Aunt Song, I promised Lin Dongzhe to keep this matter secret, but don't worry, it must be a good thing."

"Okay, then I won't ask. As long as Lin Dongzhe can get into college, I will do anything you ask me to do."

After chatting, Qin Hao told Song Ying and Lin Wufeng about applying for a passport.

"Applying for a passport? Do you want to go abroad?"

"Well, there is a Sino-Japanese Go Tournament this year, and I am going to Japan. The Chess Academy asked me to come back and apply for a passport first, and they will arrange to apply for a visa later."

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were so excited that they didn't know what to say. Going abroad was a rare thing in the 1980s. Many people, let alone going abroad, might never leave the city in their entire lives.

Early the next morning, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying took leave to accompany Qin Hao to the police station to apply for a passport. Applying for a passport is not that easy these days and requires a letter of introduction from the employer.

The chess academy had already opened a letter of introduction for Qin Hao. When the police officer at the police station heard that Qin Hao was going to Japan to participate in the competition, he immediately encouraged him.

"Come on young man, you can't lose to little Japan if you lose to anyone."

"Um."

In the next few days, no one knew who leaked the news. The news that Qin Hao was going abroad to participate in the competition soon spread throughout the family alley. From time to time, people would ask about Song Ying's specific situation.

After Zhang Amei heard the news, she was so jealous that she yelled at Xiao Min: "Look at your worthless appearance. Look at Hao Zi who is going to go abroad soon. He is also a college student. He is no better than those in your class."

Are your classmates much stronger?"

Xiao Min pursed her lips: "Mom, don't be blind. Don't you think about why that college student likes me?"

"You...you make me so angry!"

After Zhang Amei left angrily, Wu Shanshan said to Xiao Min in an incomprehensible tone: "Do you really have no idea at all?"

"Do you want it to be useful?" Xiao Min smiled contemptuously: "I am different from you. You and Xiaojun have lived in this family alley since childhood. Aunt Song and Aunt Huang will sympathize with you. My mother and I are both familiar with this alley.

I am an outsider, so I never expect them to accept me."

"However, you are actually the same. Sympathy is sympathy, but if something happens, everyone will still put the interests of their own family first. Otherwise, with your grades, you are already in the first middle school, right?"

The thorn in Wu Shanshan's heart was pressed hard.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets and alleys of Suzhou become extremely lively. Qin Hao occasionally gives Lin Dongzhe extra lessons and goes to some gardens in Suzhou with Zhuang Tunan. For this purpose, Zhuang Tunan also borrows a camera from Li Yiming. For a few days

I took six or seven rolls of film, which made Huang Ling sigh: Learning architecture is really expensive.

Zhuang Chaoying felt inexplicably guilty when she heard similar words. Although Zhuang Tunan did not need to pay tuition after he was admitted to university, and the school subsidized his living expenses, he had to pay for teaching materials and some consumables at his own expense.

In order to learn painting, Zhuang Tunan used hundreds of pencils in one semester, and the textbooks in the Department of Architecture are not cheap.

Several times, Zhuang Chaoying thought about getting his salary back, but in the end he found it difficult to bring up the idea.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuang Chaoying took her family to Zhuang Ye and Zhuang Nai's place to pay New Year greetings. At the dinner table, Zhuang Ye's words instantly solidified the lively atmosphere.
