growing up

As soon as Ling Chao's parents got married, they came from Province S to City H to work hard together. Later, Ling Chao was born and grew up in City H.After their careers improved to a certain extent, they were so busy that they couldn't keep their feet on the ground, so they didn't have time to go back to S Province.In addition, grandpa and grandma left early, both of them were only children, grandpa and grandma were also taken to live in H city, and other distant relatives gradually lost contact with each other.Due to some policies and parents' own reasons, Ling Chao's family's household registration has not been moved, which means that Ling Chao must return to his original place for the college entrance examination.Mom and Dad originally planned to let him pass the college entrance examination, so they never thought about it.Ling Chao didn't understand much at first, but he only found out after listening to the teacher after the first year of high school.

But Ling Chao insisted on going there alone to study.Parents have been more democratic and open since they were young. Generally speaking, as long as Ling Chao's decision does not hurt himself, he will not be opposed. However, transferring to another school and leaving home are indeed major events, and a 16-year-old is still a child no matter what.In the end, they agreed to transfer to another school in the second year of high school.Dad said that it will take time to find a school and arrange accommodation.

Province S is a typical northern province, and City H is a typical southern city. The completely different geographical location, different climate, and different customs and customs are all new and tempting challenges for Ling Chao.

My parents have been busy running around all these years, and the company was officially listed last year. Although Ling Chao has lived a carefree life since he was a child, and his parents have given him a lot of freedom, there is still a lot to teach and do.Ling Chao learned Sanda from a young age, but his personality is docile and sunny, independent and assertive, and he is more mature than his peers.

This time when he transferred to another school, he just wanted to exercise himself. In fact, his father arranged it very well.I won't suffer at all.Sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers will more or less have second-school thoughts in their hearts, as if they are already adults and can live independently.

I heard that the new school is also a provincial priority.In city D, my father bought a two-bedroom apartment in a community near the school, and refurbished it, so that it would be better to go there after finishing high school.

City H was extremely hot that summer, and he managed to survive most of the summer vacation at home, leaving school for only ten days. Ling Chao took advantage of his parents' business trip to convince them again, and set off for City D a few days earlier.

The plane flew over half of China, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when it landed at D City International Airport.Unlike the blazing heat of City H, Ling Chao could clearly feel the difference in temperature as soon as he left the airport. This feeling is quite good.

Ling Chao only brought a backpack, and all other luggage was sent over in advance.The housekeeping aunt my father hired to help take care of him has already cleaned up for him.He just needs to pack lightly.

17-year-old Ling Chao has grown in stature in the past two years. Although the height of 182 is not particularly conspicuous in the north, he looks handsome. He is dressed in pure white sportswear and matched with a white baseball cap. His whole body exudes youthful vitality. , Along the way, many people looked back.

Ling Chao hailed a taxi and reported the address, and the driver uncle kicked the gas pedal and drove the car out.

He took out his mobile phone from his backpack, turned it on, and called his parents, but no one answered, he must be in a meeting or busy, Ling Chao shook his head, and reported to his parents on WeChat that he was safe.After waiting for a while, the phone still didn't answer, so Ling Chao didn't care.The right hand supports the car window wall to see the scenery on the side of the airport expressway outside the window.

This road is relatively empty, except for occasional cars passing by the side lane quickly, and rows of unknown big trees on the side of the road are slowly retreating.

It's finally here, the place I've been looking forward to for a year, Ling Chao thought he would be very excited, but he really doesn't feel comfortable with such a calm state of mind right now.

The uncle driver may be used to talking with passengers, but when Ling Chao was busy contacting his parents when he first got on the bus, he was not free. Now the uncle driver calmed down and started chatting.First I asked him if he was traveling or going home, and when he learned that he transferred from the south, he exaggerated City D.Ling Chao had no time to connect and talk, so he could only listen with a smile.

It only took an hour to get from the airport to the city, and the driver didn't stop talking along the way.If it wasn't for the fact that there was no extra water in the bag, Ling Chao would have sent a bottle forward.When the large characters of "Zhaohui Community" appeared in front of his eyes, Ling Chao let out a soft breath.

Why!It's finally here!

After paying the car quickly, taking the bag, opening the door, and getting out of the car, I didn't forget to bend over and say thank you to the car before closing the door, and closed the door without waiting for an echo.

Standing at the gate, I looked around.There is a wall around the community, and tree branches protruding from the wall can be seen.The wall is silver-gray, with reliefs of various shapes on it.Across the road is a commercial auxiliary, and there are three characters of pedestrian street on the exit on the right.

I heard from my dad that the school is on the next street, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.Ling Chao looked around casually, there were many pedestrians, and the street opposite was very lively.I don't know how it is at school.Forget about school today.There are still ten days left.

The 3rd building is easy to find, just enter the third building on the right hand side.Looking at the outside of the building, it seems that this community should not have been around for a few years. The elevator goes directly to the 16th floor, and there are four households on the first floor. 1602 is the house my father bought for himself.

Dad decorated the house well. It is not a small two-bedroom, one is a bedroom and a study, and the other is equipped with fitness equipment such as treadmills and sandbags.Before coming here, the housekeeping aunt came to clean it, and it was clean.The bed in the bedroom has been made, and the sent luggage has also been packed.Clothes are neatly hung or folded in closets.There is a computer on the desk.Ling Chao turned on the phone casually, and the Internet was normal.There was nothing on the bookshelf next to it. There was a special study room at home, but Ling Chao didn't want to bring any books, so he packed the textbooks for the first year of high school and a few books he often read.Only a small pile was left scattered.Although this place is not as big as my home in the south, it is more than enough for me to live alone, and it is only two years of high school.enough.

The aunt is responsible for cooking and cleaning for herself after school starts, and now she has to solve her own life these days. My mother wanted to add money to let the aunt come over, but Ling Chao refused.Said that he is such a young man, and he can still cope with ten days of life.

Ling Chao took a shower, changed his clothes, and looked around while wiping his hair.There was nothing to clean up, the phone on the desk rang just in time, it was my mother's call.

"Mom, you're done!" Ling Chao answered the phone.

"Have you arrived at your place of residence? I just finished a meeting, and I'm going to have dinner with your dad." Mom's voice came.

"It's early, I took a shower. Don't worry, everything is going well. Dad's house is well-equipped, and there is a separate gym. The computer is ready." Ling Chao clicked on the speaker Put your phone on the desk, pick up a dry towel and continue to dry your hair.

"Hey, that's right, your father must be reliable in his work!" The voice belonged to my father, and beside it was my mother's soft voice of scolding for grabbing the phone. "You have come so many days ahead of time, I'd better invite Aunt Chen to cook for you for a few days. Otherwise, it would be unhygienic for you to go out to eat every day!" Mom pretended to grab the phone successfully.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, it's been settled long ago, and the auntie signed the contract, maybe there are other jobs going on these days. I've already troubled her to help me pack my luggage, and I'm too embarrassed to bother Don't worry, I promise to pay attention to diet. I won't eat indiscriminately." Ling Chao said with a smile.

"That's it, you should pay attention there by yourself. Be patient in everything and don't conflict with others. Alas! I'm still worried. Otherwise, I'll arrange work arrangements to take care of her after two days of work." You." My mother still looked uneasy.

"Don't, don't, you should work, eat and sleep, don't you worry about your son? When did I cause trouble casually? Just don't make troubles. Don't worry, don't worry!" Ling Super close to the phone and talk to Yitong.

"Your mother just treats you as a child, and I believe in my son. Besides, how can ordinary people beat my son!" The person who spoke became the father again.

"Can you talk nicely, you're encouraging him to fight and make trouble. Now adolescent kids are impulsive and love to make trouble. Go, go, get out of the car and give me the phone!" My mother snatched the phone and said.

Ling Chao can even imagine his parents snatching mobile phones in the parking lot at this moment, and he is very happy and moved. These are parents, and no matter how old their children are, they are still children in their hearts.

"Mom, I promise, don't mess around, otherwise, I will report on WeChat at least once a day from now on, what do you think?" Ling Chao coaxed his mother.

"Hey! Don't think your mother is nagging you. You are not yet an adult. Although we have been busy these years, we have always seen each other often. Now you are walking so far alone, and your mother is worried when you travel thousands of miles." Ling Chao heard The sound of closing the car door, my mother should get in the car.

"No, how can I dislike my beautiful and gentle mother nagging! Alright! You go to eat quickly. You and Dad should pay attention to your health because you are so busy every day. I am about to eat too." Ling Chao said.

"That's ok, you take care of yourself. By the way, I put a card in the middle of your backpack. The password is your birthday. You can use that for whatever you want to eat or buy. Don't treat yourself badly. We are so busy, it is for my son Have a better life. Mom hung up the phone. If you need something, call or send us a WeChat message." Mom said.

"Okay, goodbye, Mom and Dad." Ling Chao waited for the phone to hang up before standing up straight.

Parents have always been very reassuring and tolerant of themselves, and they have no concept of raising children from other people's families. They have a lot of pocket money since they were young.Ling Chao is not the kind of person who spends money lavishly. He has always had a lot of pocket money since he was a child. His mother created a card for him to save. In the past ten years since he went to school, the card actually has a lot of money.Ling Chao didn't expect his mother to put another card for him.

Flipping it out from the middle of the backpack and holding it in his hand, Ling Chao smiled and put it in his wallet.Anyway, it is estimated that this card will not move if there is no accident.Just when you need it.

His hair was still a little wet, so Ling Chao turned around and went to the bathroom to dry it.It's not too early, and I still have some Chinese food on the plane.Ling Chao took the wallet and keys, and was about to go downstairs to have something to eat and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.
