Although I received a conditional notice of registration for the preparatory examination from the Admissions Office of Han University, it was not a formal examination permission after all. Dong Qiangqiang knew very well that the so-called glimmer of hope was still just hope. Whether he could enroll in school was still unknown.
He learned from the official website of AP that due to the large number of application materials to be reviewed and sent to the AP review department from China and Germany in a short period of time, the waiting time of all applicants was virtually extended.
The only good news during this period is that university applicants in Germany do not need to fly back to China in person. They only need to provide relevant materials, while domestic applicants have to go to ap’s Beijing headquarters to take a written test and interview.
The taste of the blunt knife piercing the flesh was too torturous. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know how long he would have to wait to get the coveted verification certificate. He couldn't help but make an international long distance call to the ap headquarters in Beijing, but the reply he received was still "We have accelerated the review work, please wait patiently for the next notification."
His mentality also changed during the long wait, from sitting on pins and needles to living like a year, and from living like a year to being discouraged.
Love it as you please, Dong Qiangqiang, who was tired, didn't care anymore.
On Thursday, the Han University Examination Center issued a notice that the time for the preparatory examination was finally determined to be 8 a.m. on Wednesday, August 8, which is an auspicious date. Of course, this is only for those candidates who can take the exam.
Since she did not receive the transfer from Lu Wei, Mother Lu quickly called Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang planned to follow Lao Bai's suggestion and send money to the Lu family in two installments. Although he would have to pay one more remittance fee, Lu's mother would most likely continue to ask Lu Wei for money. He planned to remit 800 for the first time and 700 for the second time. This would leave himself some room. If Lu Wei was released from prison and asked about it in the future, he would be able to give Lu Wei an explanation (although he had no obligation at all).
Just as Dong Qiangqiang stood in front of the bank's AT machine and entered Lu's mother's account information key by key, a Chengdu phone number appeared on his mobile phone again.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that Mother Lu would stare at him so closely. In addition, the AP incident in the past few days had made him very annoyed. He was angry and his tone unconsciously became very harsh. "Aunt Lu, I have transferred your words..."
"Is this Dong Qiangqiang?" A crisp male voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.
Dong Qiangqiang looked at the number again suspiciously. It was indeed the area code of Chengdu, but he remembered that he had no classmates or friends in Chengdu. "I am. Who are you?"
"Oh, hello, Brother Dong. I am Lu Wei's younger brother, and my name is Lu Shan." The boy spoke slowly and sounded very polite.
Dong Qiangqiang was a little anxious now. He never expected that Mother Lu's life-threatening chain of all would be upgraded. After the old man urged the young one, why would he not let anyone live?
His mind became hot and he almost told everything about Lu Wei's imprisonment.
Fortunately, he was standing in the bank, and the solemn and quiet bank hall allowed him to control the spread of his emotions in time.
"Lu Shan, tell your parents that I am helping your sister transfer money to them, and ask them to calm down."
"Brother Dong, don't transfer it yet." Lu Shan said calmly, "I don't need the money."
Dong Qiangqiang's hand that was continuing to enter account information suddenly froze. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say? You won't transfer it?"
"Yes."
"But your mother has called me several times recently to ask me to notify your sister to transfer money home. Your sister asked me to help transfer money because she was too busy." Dong Qiangqiang emphasized in particular, "Mother Lu has made several calls to urge him. "This fact.
"I know." Lu Shan's tone was always calm, "Because my mother and father want me to repeat the study."
"No, just wait a minute." Dong Qiangqiang became more and more confused as he listened. "I remember clearly that your mother said a few days ago that you were not satisfied with your college entrance examination results, so you need to repeat the exam for a year and take the exam again."
"I am indeed dissatisfied with my college entrance examination results, that's true." Lu Shan explained patiently, "But I don't want to repeat the exam."
Dong Qiangqiang immediately asked, "You don't want to? But your parents do, right?"
"Yes, I don't want to, because my family has no money." Lu Shan said seriously, "So although I am not satisfied with the results, I don't want my parents and my sister to live in such misery. I don't want to be a vampire."
Lu Shan's words shocked Dong Qiangqiang. He didn't expect that Lu Shan's attitude would be contrary to his parents' thoughts. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
There was silence on both ends of the phone.
After a long while, I heard Lu Shan continue: "If you don't help my sister transfer the money, my parents won't be able to raise more money for me to repeat my studies, so that I can legitimately go to university. There is a work-study program in the university. I can also get scholarships and work part-time, which can support my family. I am a man and I cannot rely on my parents and my sister to support me."
Lu Shan's words made Dong Qiangqiang look askance. He couldn't help but secretly pointed out: The young man has ambition.
Thinking of his impoliteness at the beginning, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Then you mean I won't switch?"
"Yes, I won't change. My sister should be more in need of money than I am. After all, she is working alone in a foreign country, so it is safer to keep more money with her. I can deal with it here no matter what."
Dong Qiangqiang felt a sore nose: "What if your parents don't receive your sister's money and then go to someone else to borrow money?"
"I have basically asked my relatives and friends, and none of them have much money, so they mainly pointed at my sister." Lu Shanyun took a breath and continued, "But no one answered my sister's cell phone, so I gave it to you. The caller, your cell phone number was given to me by my sister."
"What about that, Lu Shan, are you sure you don't want to repeat the reading?"
"I'm sure. Brother Dong. I've thought about it very clearly." Lu Shan's reply was straightforward.
"Well, I have an idea, what do you think?" Dong Qiangqiang, standing next to the AT machine, explained the idea that suddenly came to his mind.
After listening to Dong Qiangqiang's suggestion, Lu Shan couldn't help but praise: "Brother Dong, your method is still more stable, then I will listen to you."
"I'd like to reiterate again that what we just talked about is a family matter in your family and a major event in your life. I personally feel that it would be best if you can win the support and understanding of your parents. So if you have the chance, You should still communicate with them more." Dong Qiangqiang suggested sincerely.
"Thank you, Brother Dong, I will seriously consider your proposal just now. One more thing, I also want to study in Germany in the future. If there is anything I don't understand, can I call you? If you ask me something It might be inconvenient for you, sister." Lu Shan smiled sheepishly.
"No problem, you can call me on my mobile phone at any time. I will tell you everything I know about studying abroad. But before that, you must know one thing. No matter which country you go to study in the future, you'd better learn from your childhood. Take each of your courses seriously from the beginning, don’t waste time, don’t make do with yourself, learn from my lessons, and use your time in the right place, understand? Otherwise, every difficulty you dodge will become a problem in the future. Disturbing your peace like a ghost."
"Brother Dong, your last sentence is really philosophical." Lu Shan assured, "I've written it down."
"That sentence was said by Rabindranath Tagore, let's encourage each other." After Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, he put down the phone with relief.
