My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 55 Lin Jing's Past

Xu Qingfan's remarks, as the closing statement of the press conference, deserve full marks.

However, no one was too surprised. They were just slightly impressed, thinking that he truly deserved to be called a literary prodigy who moved CCTV. He could easily utter such refreshing and insightful quotes.

When the event ended, Xu Qingfan noticed that each reporter received a small handbag, presumably containing red envelopes and gifts. Indeed, it's good to have a powerful backer!

"Wow, Xiao Fan, you're amazing! If you don't have talent, just keep repeating; if you're not a genius, take it one step at a time. It's simple and rhyming, truly a role model for our Experimental Elementary School!"

Song Youcai came over and rubbed his head with a smile, but Xu Qingfan only found him noisy.

All he wants to do now is call Lin Wanning and tell him that he didn't mean to stand someone up; the interview just came too suddenly.

"Teacher Lin's points were also excellent. I'll have them printed out on the bulletin board at the school gate and keep them there permanently!"

"Hehehe, Principal Song, you flatter me. It's nothing really, just some heartfelt words, and they may not be suitable for everyone."

"No, no, no, Teacher Lin, what you've summarized is exactly what I've felt after years of teaching and nurturing students! It must be widely promoted!"

Xu Qingfan was quite certain that his godmother would get a promotion and a raise after returning from the National Day holiday.

Whether or not I get a raise isn't important; what's important right now is going home and calling Wan Ning.

As for why he had to go home to make the call, he admitted that he hadn't memorized Wan Ning's home phone number; he had only written it down in the phone book next to the landline.

Just as he was thinking about Lin Wanning, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, as if it were a hallucination.

"Brother Qingfan!"

Xu Qingfan turned around abruptly, but saw no one.

"Brother Qingfan~"

But the sound was still there, and it was coming from below. He looked down and realized that Lin Wanning had been squatting there at some point.

"Wan Ning! What brings you here!" Xu Qingfan couldn't hide his surprise and delight.

It turns out that Xia Xiaoxiao called Lin Wanning's family before leaving home. Xu Qingfan, you have no heart!

"Hehe~ It was Xiaoxiao who told Ningning. Xiaoxiao called and said that Brother Qingfan and Xiaoxiao were coming to the school for an interview, and told Ningning not to come." Lin Wanning jumped up.

There were many people around, so instead of putting my arm around Qingfan's neck, I put my hand on his shoulder.

Xia Xiaoxiao walked over and glanced at him with disdain. He still has the nerve to say he's protecting the best Wan Ning in the world? Laughable!

Xu Qingfan touched his nose and changed the subject, saying, "How did Wan Ning get here? We're going to eat later, and Wan Ning is coming along too."

"Ningning walked here all by herself!"

"Huh?" Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat. Good heavens, don't mess with this.

"Hehehe! o(*￣︶￣*)o" Lin Wanning grinned happily when she saw the two of them. "Hehe, I was just kidding. Grandpa brought Ningning here. Grandpa's over there!"

Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Lin Wanning pointed and sure enough, they saw their grandfather walking his bird there.

During a proper bird walk, a cockatiel flew in a circle before landing back on Grandpa's shoulder.

"Wow!" Xu Qingfan was completely stunned. He wanted to get a Pokémon too!

"Grandpa Wanning keeps parrots?"

"The ducks are kept in cages in the yard. This is the eighth parrot that Grandpa has raised." Lin Wanning counted on his fingers for a moment before giving his answer.

Just as Xu Qingfan was wondering why his grandfather kept so many parrots, the cockatiel flew to the roof, then to the tree, and disappeared from sight.

"Oh, this..."

The parrot didn't turn back even after the whistle had worn out. Grandpa Lin walked back, grumbling and muttering something like, "This bird has a bad temper," and "It must be the weather."

"Grandpa Bird has flown away again," Lin Wanning said publicly, revealing his embarrassing situation.

"It didn't run away, it didn't run away, Grandpa made it fly home by itself!"

Lin Zhenyuan waved his hand in denial, not giving his eldest granddaughter a chance to continue speaking, and changed the subject, saying, "Xiao Fan is amazing! Grandpa watched yesterday's interview. Confident, generous, filial, and talented, she's exactly like Grandpa when she was young!"

"Pfft... I'm still a little worse than Grandpa was when he was young."

"Haha, it's not that much different!"

...

For lunch, we went to the largest seafood restaurant in Licheng, and Song Youcai treated us out of his own pocket.

Lin Zhenyuan probably rushed back to buy birds, so he left Lin Wanning behind and drove off on his own.

Although they didn't give Xu Qingfan any extra tea eggs, a sumptuous seafood feast was a good alternative, including king crab, grouper, and Australian lobster. The meal cost Principal Song over ten thousand yuan.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, as there was an interview scheduled to air that evening on the provincial television station.

The school has made arrangements for his subsequent schedule. After the provincial TV interview airs, he should not accept interviews in a rush. He should only accept one or two invitations from influential TV stations.

For example, Phoenix TV's "Qiang Qiang San Ren Xing", the currently most popular "A Date with Luyu", and the provincial TV station's "Night Talk" program.

I have connections at my school to get on these shows, but of course, it would be best if I could get an invitation from CCTV.

Xu Aiguo and Yao Jinping didn't understand, so they naturally asked Lin Jing for her opinion. Lin Jing thought the arrangement was good, so she nodded in agreement.

"Principal Song, it's settled then. We also need to give Xiao Fan some private space. Being constantly exposed to the spotlight is not suitable for a child's growth."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Teacher Lin and I are truly of the same mind!"

It's almost turning into Lin Jing's shape. Luckily, Principal Song is almost seventy this year, otherwise Xu Qingfan would really suspect that he has ulterior motives.

...

The restaurant was not far from the staff quarters, and the six of them walked back after leaving the restaurant.

Xu Aiguo and Yao Jinping showed no signs of fatigue. Watching the three children happily riding their little train ahead, Yao Jinping smiled sincerely and said, "Doesn't it remind you of when we were kids?"

Lin Jing smiled and said, "Betting on books to pass the time, the fragrance of spilled tea lingers; at the time, it all seemed so ordinary."

"I remember what Xiaofan said in yesterday's interview about how a mother becomes a mother. Looking back now, it seems that's how it is. Countless difficult days have passed by without us even realizing it."

Yao Jinping hugged Lin Jing. She was actually doing well, with her husband and mother-in-law taking care of her around the clock. Even her natural childbirth went quite smoothly, and she didn't suffer much.

Lin Jing had a terrible experience. During childbirth, the older generation was superstitious and believed in natural childbirth. After a lot of trouble, she ended up having a C-section, which was truly a painful ordeal.

After giving birth to Xiaoxiao, and because it was a girl, her parents-in-law stayed at the hospital for a day to take care of her before finding an excuse to go back. Xia Guofu was driving in another province and did not come back.

Fortunately, with her parents by her side and Yao Jinping, who had been in postpartum confinement for almost half a year, taking care of her personally, Lin Jing managed to pull through.

After this incident, Lin Jing realized two things: one was that Xiao Xiao must not marry far away in the future, and the other was that she should find out whether her husband's parents were easy to get along with before choosing a husband.

Then she discovered that Xiao Fan, who was five months older than Xiao Xiao, was simply the chosen son-in-law!

From that time on, Lin Jing treated Xiao Fan as her own son.
