Chapter 502 The Only Daughter 30
Lin Chengyuan's grades in elementary school and even junior high school were among the best in his grade, never falling out of the top three, and this did not affect his wide range of hobbies. He participated in various activities and competitions after school, and won countless awards.
Lin Chengyuan was so well-rounded and outstanding in every aspect, which aroused envy, jealousy and hatred among parents who pushed their children to improve.
Indeed, today's Lin Chengyuan is indeed a very eye-catching big boy. He is fifteen years old, [-] meters tall, has a sunny and handsome appearance, and has excellent grades. Which parent does not love this kind of child.
Not only does he have good grades in cultural classes, he is also good at basketball and football. He is a seed player on the school team. He often participates in various inter-school competitions and has won many awards.
Although he didn't take the piano exam specifically, he still played well. Lin Chengyuan wrote the manuscripts himself when he participated in the speech competition. At most, Lin Hui helped him make some modifications and polishes, and he actually won several small and medium awards.
Perhaps it was because Lin Hui graduated from the English Department and had cultivated his interest in English since he was a child. He often practiced conversations with him at home, so his English was even better. During the winter vacation of the third grade of junior high school, he was bored and tried to take the IELTS test. I actually got a good score of 7 points.
Because Cheng Yuan's overall performance was so outstanding, he was recommended to the best high school in the city early by his school.
Despite this, he still studied hard like other students and faced the high school entrance examination in the best condition. He wanted to see where he ranked in the city.
After the results of the high school entrance examination came out, he felt a little frustrated when he saw that he was ranked forty-sixth in the city. According to his original estimate, he felt that he should be in the top twenty.
It's a pity that there are many children with good grades, especially at this stage. The difference in scores between the two rankings is not big. Some even have the same score, but one is in front and the other is in the back. His test is actually Yes, the ranking is lower, but it actually doesn't mean anything.
However, this kid is used to being at the top, but he refuses to admit defeat and cannot tolerate being so low in the rankings. Therefore, this summer vacation, even when traveling to relax, was not too enjoyable.
Lin Hui felt that it would be good for the boy to be ranked lower, so that he would not be arrogant and think that he was so great and not take other people seriously.
Over the years, he has been going too smoothly, which is not a good thing. Children must experience some setbacks if they want to grow up!
This year my family went to Jiuzhaigou. In midsummer, the highest temperature in the mountains here is only around [-] degrees, which is similar to spring and autumn in some places. You even need to wear a coat in the morning and evening.
Father Lin and Mother Lin are getting older now. Although their health is generally good, they cannot compare with before.
Even when I come to Jiuzhaigou, I only dare to move in the north, because the altitude in the north is about two thousand meters, while the altitude in the south is more than four thousand meters. The difference is too big, and I am afraid that the elderly will not be able to bear it.
The family rented a family suite in a B&B with three bedrooms, one of which was a suite with a bathroom. There was also a living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen. They could cook their own meals or eat in the restaurant of the B&B, which was very convenient.
Although summer is the local peak tourist season, there are a lot of tourists, but their family did not just come to watch the flowers for three or two days, so they were not affected by the crowds, but felt content and lived very comfortably.
It is now 2022. Compared with more than ten years ago, the development of science and technology has really changed the world. The older people feel this, the more profound it will be.
For example, people of Lin's and Lin's generation were born in the three years when natural disasters were severe and they were starved of food. Their childhood impressions of hunger and the preciousness of food were very clear and profound.
By the time the original person was born, it was the late [-]s. The country had survived the most difficult period and had begun to make progress in a good direction, with the economy developing rapidly.
When Lin Chengyuan was born, the country had basically gotten rid of poverty and began to make leaps in higher and more cutting-edge research.
When Father Lin and Mother Lin were young, ordinary people were not qualified to install telephones in their homes, and only work units could have such precious things as telephones. But now, more magical and easy-to-use mobile phones are in the hands of everyone.
Father Lin and Mother Lin also keep pace with the times. They use their mobile phones to browse short videos and read various information every day.
Lin's mother likes to post to WeChat Moments, taking pictures of interesting things she sees that day, adding various dynamic special effects and then posting them, at least one post a day. Lin's father prefers to forward those meaningful famous quotes and aphorisms, and then adds them to the picture. The last picture with artistic conception becomes more and more mysterious.
Although they still rely on handwriting or voice input for typing, it does not prevent the old couple from playing with their smartphones.
Now that Lin Chengyuan has graduated from junior high school, Lin Hui also bought him a smartphone. It is made in China. From the chip to the program, it is all independently developed, designed and produced by a company in China. It is no worse than foreign mobile phones and is more advanced. Very cost effective.
A very high-configuration mobile phone costs less than [-] yuan, and for this amount of money, if you buy a foreign fruit machine, you can't even buy those outdated models.
Cheng Yuan was a little reluctant at first. He felt that the fruit machine was more famous and more upscale. Many of his classmates and friends used fruit machines. If he used a domestic machine, he would seem to be inferior.
But after I actually started using it, I realized that the domestic machine smells really good!
It's silky smooth to use, there's no lag when playing games, and the photos are super clear, which is very suitable for young people like him.
Even Lin's mother secretly wanted to give him money to buy another fruit phone, but he refused. He had already experienced the benefits of domestic mobile phones.
Now, he can calmly leave the watermark of his mobile phone model on the photo and post it on WeChat Moments to spread the word.
The family lived in Jiuzhaigou for almost a month and returned to Ningcheng just when Cheng Yuan was about to start school.
In fact, Ningcheng's house is not hot at all. There is central air conditioning, but there is definitely a difference between artificial cooling and natural cooling.
Now Sister Chen is still working as a nanny at home. She originally wanted to take her with her when she went to Jiuzhaigou, but she wanted to go back to her hometown to see her, so she was asked to go back to her hometown to visit relatives on vacation.
In fact, Sister Chen is getting older now and is not as capable as she used to be. But we have been together for a long time and have feelings, so we don't want to change people. After all, it is not easy to get along with someone again.
Besides, nowadays there are many smart appliances that can help with housework, such as window cleaning robots, vacuum cleaners, sweepers, and mops that combine washing and mopping. They are all available at home. You just need to learn how to use them at the beginning. , which greatly reduces the burden of housework.
Since Sister Chen’s third year of working at home, Lin Hui has paid her social security for flexible employment in the community. In two years, when Sister Chen reaches the age of fifty-five, she will be able to receive Ningcheng’s retirement benefits. Gold.
Because of Ningcheng's developed economy, the pension level is relatively high. Even if Sister Chen can no longer work in the future, with this pension, she will have a minimum living security. This is why Sister Chen has been treating the Lin family in these years. One of the reasons why people do their best.
