"Uncle, where are you reading the newspapers?"
Chen Jianguo knocked on the window as he asked with a smile.
"You are?"
The grandpa heard the noise and put down the newspaper. He put on his reading glasses and looked at Chen Jianguo. He didn't seem to recognize Chen Jianguo. When he saw Lin Pilan being pulled by Chen Jianguo, his face immediately turned ugly.
"Young people are not allowed to fall in love during school if they don't study properly. Have you seen the school rules? Hurry up and let go of that lady's hand! "
"Pfft!" Rinperan could not help but laugh. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be mistaken for a student.
"I'm Jianguo, don't you know me?"
Chen Jianguo squeezed Lin Peilan's hand, indicating that she should not take any action.
"The founding of a country?" The grandpa tried his best to recall, "It's that one. That naughty one from back then. When we built the new teaching building, he must give the script he designed to the principal?"
"Uncle really has a good memory. It's that naughty me."
"Didn't you go abroad to study? Although not all the teaching buildings were built according to your blueprints, some of your suggestions were later adopted. "Now that you've returned from graduate school, you should have a better stage to perform on …"
"…"
Chen Jianguo was embarrassed. When he first started showing his love of architectural design, he was so infatuated that when he saw someone building a house, he stopped to take a look.
During the second half of his third year in high school, when the school was about to build a new teaching building, he was so happy that he was about to jump up.
It was a blueprint that carried his first strongest feelings, and he sent it to the principal in an anonymous letter.
The results were as one might imagine. In the entire campus, he was the most passionate about architectural design, and the principal could tell after checking that it was him.
Due to his parents' identity, the principal had even specially invited him to speak. At that time, although he was still not very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, he remembered the strict teachings of his father and vaguely felt that he had caused trouble for his parents.
He did not expect that the principal would not be a flattering person. He also paid a lot of attention to talented students. He took out the blueprint to tell him that the starting point was good, but he also pointed out the flaws in it.
In the end, she followed him home to find her parents, saying that she could now wholeheartedly do her favorite architectural design and build her home country's mountains and rivers, and that it was inseparable from the principal.
If not for him personally making a trip home, and his father still wanting him to join the army, and his mother having him walk the liberal arts route and become a teacher in the future, the university entrance examinations and volunteering would have left his two elders at loggerheads.
With the support and explanation of the headmaster, Chen Jianguo was able to study his favorite architecture engineering college successfully, and also got a great opportunity to leave the country for further studies.
But now that the shamelessness of his youth had been exposed, Chen Jianguo still felt a little uncomfortable in front of Lin Peran. Back then, it was really shameful that he did not know how high the sky and how deep the earth was.
Chen Jianguo carefully turned his head to look at Rinperan, but he didn't see any unusual expression on her face. Chen Jianguo let out a sigh of relief.
"Back then, when everyone was young and didn't know about the matter, it made things difficult for them." Chen Jianguo said embarrassedly, "Uncle, I'm getting married today. This is my wife. I want to bring my wife in to take a look at the school building.
"Yo!" He was already married! It was rare to return to school, but as long as it didn't affect the students' studies, it didn't matter. "Come in!"
The grandpa carefully sized up Rinperan and happily agreed with a warm smile.
"Thank you."
Chen Jianguo led Rimperan from the reception room into the school. The distance between them was only one door, and when he heard the sound of reading in his ear, Rimperan felt like he was in the sea of learning.
The excitement and curiosity in her eyes were fully captured by Chen Jianguo. He felt both heartbroken and gratified at the same time. He had made the right decision to bring her to the school for a look.
"You can go in yourselves! I won't follow. Your alumni have already gone their separate ways and will occasionally come back to visit. Only you, the principal, is worried about you the most. "Your blueprint is still stuck in the celebrity section of the school even though it's still a symbol …"
No matter the time, the school always gave people a feeling of vitality, allowing people to be able to fully learn.
Walking along the familiar campus with Chen Jianguo, Lin Pilan had a passionate desire to swim the sea of knowledge again. The long-awaited desire in her heart was stirred.
One day, she would have to rely on her own hard work to return to school and study more to enrich herself.
"Is this what that grandpa meant when he said 'go and study'?"
In front of a school building that was obviously newer than the previous ones, behind a large glass frame, among all kinds of newspapers and manuscripts, there was only a different design that was stuck squarely in the middle.
"Humph!" Chen Jianguo cleared his throat uncomfortably and said softly, "I've let you down. If you have seen these things you will forget them, so don't keep them in your heart. "
Lin Pilan could not help but smile. This shy and uncomfortable boy, where could he find the shadow of that domineering and uninhibited man?
"It's really quite good." Ringpelin was sincere praise.
Chen Jianguo had intended to bring Rimplan to the campus to play, not to see him in his young and ignorant embarrassment. In order to divert his attention, he pointed to the basketball court behind the school building.
"There's a basketball court at the back. Let's go take a look."
The shy Chen Jianguo was another surprise to Lin Peran. As he quietly followed him, he couldn't help but introduce the campus.
Ringpelin's vision of the campus, it must be said that at this moment, a lot of it had been filled.
The two of them were not walking very fast in this small park, but without affecting the students' class, they did not go to the classroom. In the middle of their stroll, they saw a man in his fifties hurrying over.
"The founding of the country is back? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could arrange for you to say a few words of encouragement to junior brothers and sisters? "
It turned out that the principal of this high school was surnamed Qin. Back then, he had been in the same class as Chen Jianguo. With his fortuitous encounter, he was extremely enthusiastic towards Chen Jianguo.
"I came in a hurry, please forgive me."
"No need for that, I'm still waiting for your experience to set an example for my classmates!" This must be the nation-building wife, right? " she asked, looking at him affectionately.
"Pei Lan, this is Teacher Qin. He is my life mentor back then."
"Hello, Teacher Qin."
"Great!" It was indeed a fearsome thing to be a young person after the establishment of a family! I don't deserve to be your mentor in life. It's your abilities and talents that make you what you are. "
After they got to know each other, the two of them shook hands and continued walking in the front. Lin Peran quietly followed behind them. It could be seen that the principal admired Chen Jianguo a lot, and his words were full of praise for him.
Chen Jianguo was extremely modest. Knowing that the policy was now better and that there were more and more students, that the old school buildings were not enough and that the school was going to expand the new school buildings, Chen Jianguo happily took over the work of designing blueprints.
