♂?,,
In the evening, on the way to Youyi Hotel, Lin Hong and Feng Wan talked about his school days.
Feng Wan also believes that Lin Hong continuing primary school is unnecessary and a complete waste of time.
So go straight to junior high school? It seems unnecessary. With Lin Hong's current level, going to university is more than enough.
Of course, Feng Wan did not hope that Lin Hong would directly go to university. In her view, reading books is not just for learning knowledge. At school, there are many other things worth learning, such as how to get along with people and make friends.
Lin Hong's current personality is already a bit introverted. If he directly skips grades and goes to university, it may even more cause defects in his personality.
This year after the Spring Festival, Lin Hong was already thirteen years old, but his entire demeanor didn't show a bit of his true age.
On the one hand, it's because Lin Hong is mentally mature beyond his years. When chatting with him, you can't see any immature behavior at all, which easily leads to a misunderstanding about his age. On the other hand, it's Lin Hong's height - although he's quite slender, he doesn't count as short, after all, children in southern China generally aren't very tall.
In short, saying Lin Hong is a high school student would not raise any suspicions. After all, among high school students, some people started learning early in childhood and only attended elementary school for five years, so it's not uncommon for 14 or 15-year-olds to be in that situation.
At this thought, Feng Wan's heart moved involuntarily.
"Why don't we let Lin Hong stay in America for a year?"
The more she thought about it, the better the idea seemed.
As far as she knows, the education in America has a big difference from that of domestic. It attaches more importance to the cultivation of personal ability. Before entering university, American parents and teachers do not pay much attention to students' academic performance. Being able to get excellent grades is good, but it's not a big deal if they can't. During this period, they focus on cultivating children's character and various abilities, such as social skills, creativity, and thinking ability. It is only after entering university that they begin to attach importance to the study and research of cultural knowledge.
And this is exactly what Feng Wan advocates for in her educational system.
At Lin Hong's current level, knowledge and academic performance are not a problem for him. His English proficiency is also no issue. Sending him abroad to experience the American education system and environment is indeed a good idea. Not only can it help him develop his independent personality, but also cultivate other abilities. Anyway, it's just one year, even if he really can't adapt, there won't be any big impact, and continuing high school won't make much difference either.
She had just been reunited with her son for a short time, and although Feng Wan felt some reluctance in her heart, she was still able to control her emotions for the sake of her son's future.
She had this idea because there is an excellent opportunity now, and the list of students who will participate in the international academic exchange project for the first time has not been finalized yet. As long as it is handled properly, Feng Wanyue may be able to secure a spot for Lin Hong.
Feng Wan originally accepted Cook's invitation just to accompany Lin Hong. Lin Hong was able to make friends with foreign friends, she felt very happy and had to support him, otherwise it might have discouraged his enthusiasm in this regard.
Now, Feng Wan thought this was a good opportunity to have a good chat with Cook. With Cook's relationship, Lin Hong's chances of becoming an international exchange student could be increased by several points.
When Lin Hong and his party arrived at the Youyi Hotel, Cook had been waiting for them in the dining hall for some time.
What Lin Hong found very strange was that, apart from Cook, the little reporter in the S was also present. Lin Hong had a deep impression of this girl because at that time she had a camera hanging around her neck and kept running back and forth to take pictures for others.
Although Lin Hong also thought the girl was extremely beautiful, he was more interested in the camera in her hand. He had never seen a camera before. At that time, they didn't know each other, otherwise Lin Hong would definitely ask to borrow it and study it carefully.
Cook smiled and acted as an intermediary, introducing them to each other in English, but speaking slowly so that everyone could understand.
"Hello Aunt Feng, I'm Xu Wenjing, a student at S Middle School." Xu Wenjing greeted politely.
Although she wasn't clear why Cook had insisted on inviting her to the dinner party, she was still thrilled at the prospect of having dinner with someone she idolized.
"Good." Feng Wan nodded in response, "This is my son, Lin Hong. Little Hong, quickly call sister."
Lin Hongzheng was salivating at the steak in front of him, but when he heard Xu Wenjing speak up, he looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Muttering to myself in my heart, this voice sounds so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before.
He heard his mother's words and didn't think much about it, casually calling out in a muffled voice: "Sister."
Years later, he still regretted his mistake and said "one slip of the tongue can lead to eternal regret".
Lin Hong's mind was preoccupied with the steak at this moment, so after some small talk, upon hearing the signal to start eating, he immediately began devouring his food.
Of course, when he was in the dining hall, he observed how others ate steak, so he also ate with some style.
He just cut them into bigger pieces, and when he felt a bit stuck while eating, he would grunt and take a swig of drink, and it actually had a kind of "big chunk eat meat big mouth drink wine" pleasure.
It would be even better if I could eat it with my hands. Lin Hong thought to himself.
Feng Wan saw her son like this, and suddenly she was speechless again. She had a mind to remind him, but thinking about it, she decided not to, after all, her son was still just a child, and these things could be told to him slowly later on.
Kuk had already seen Lin Hong's big belly once, so he didn't feel strange about it anymore. Instead, he thought Lin Hong's true nature was very kind and specially instructed the waiter to make an extra serving for him, letting Lin Hong eat comfortably.
At first, it was just Cook and Feng Wan talking in a low voice.
Xu Wenjing just quietly listened on the side, although sometimes some vocabulary was not understood, but overall it was still possible to know what content was being said. Mainly Feng Wan asked Cook about some basic information from the American school side.
Although it's a bit boring, there's no way around it.
It reminded her of the scene when she took Cook on a tour of the school's amateur radio club this afternoon.
When she saw the familiar card in Cook's hand, she exclaimed in surprise.
She also had a card in her hand, which she kept carefully, and she always looked forward to the day when she could meet the owner of the card.
Xu Wenjing anxiously asked Cook where the card in his hand came from, because she knew that after Cook got off the plane, he didn't go anywhere and had been in Beijing all along. So there was only one possibility - the owner of the card was also in Beijing.
As expected, Xu Wenjing got a definite answer from Cook. However, when she asked him where the person was, the annoying Cook saw her anxious appearance and started to tease her, even asking about the story behind it in a very gossipy way.
Having no choice, Xu Wenjing could only privately tell Cook about what had happened between her and XZZ, of course omitting most of the details.
In the end, Cook still didn't tell her the answer, but instead invited her to his dinner party and only told him who the other person was after the dinner.
This annoying Cook!
