Chapter 87 Nasty Cook
In the evening, on the way to the Friendship Hotel, Lin Hong and Feng Wan talked about his schooling.
Feng Wan also believes that it is unnecessary for Lin Hong to continue to go to primary school, which is purely a waste of time.
So go straight to junior high school? It doesn't seem necessary. At Lin Hong's current level, it is more than enough to go to college.
Of course, Feng Wan does not want Lin Hong to go to college directly. In her opinion, reading is not just for learning knowledge. In school, there are many things worth learning, such as learning to get along with people, making friends, etc.
Lin Hong's personality is a little lonely now. If he skips directly to college, it may cause defects in his personality.
After the Spring Festival this year, Lin Hong is already thirteen years old, but his whole performance can't tell his real age at all.
On the one hand, because of Lin Hong's precocious thinking and chatting with him, he can't see any childish performance at all, which is easy to cause an age misunderstanding. On the other hand, it is Lin Hong's height. Although he is relatively thin, he is not short. After all, children in southern China are generally not tall.
In a word, no one will doubt that Lin Hong is a high school student. After all, among high school students, some people were enlightened earlier when they were young, and they only went to primary school for five years. Fourteen or fifteen-year-olds are not without it.
Thinking of this, Feng Wan couldn't help but move.
"Why don't you let Lin Hong go to the United States for a year?"
The more she thinks about it, the more she thinks it's a good idea.
As far as she knows, there is a big difference between education in the United States and China, and she attaches more importance to the cultivation of personal ability. Before college, parents and teachers in the United States did not value students' academic performance very much. It is naturally good to get the best, but they won't care too much if they can't get it. During this period, they focus on the cultivation of children's personality and various abilities, such as social skills, creativity and thinking skills. When you reach college, you will begin to pay attention to the study and research of cultural knowledge.
And this is the education system advocated by Feng Wan.
At Lin Hong's current level, it is completely difficult for him in terms of knowledge and grades, and there is no problem with oral English. It is indeed a good idea to send him abroad to experience the educational level and atmosphere of the United States. He can not only hone his independent character, but also cultivate various abilities in other aspects. Anyway, it's only one year. Even if he really can't adapt, it doesn't matter. If he continues to go to high school, it won't have much impact.
Not long after she and her son have reunited, although Feng Wan is a little reluctant, she can still control her emotions for the sake of her son's future.
The reason why she has this idea is that there is an excellent opportunity now. It happens that the list of the first batch of students to participate in international academic exchange projects has not been finalized. As long as it works properly, Feng Wan is likely to win a place for Lin Hong.
Originally, Feng Wan accepted Cook's invitation just to accompany Lin Hong. Lin Hong is very happy to make friends with foreign friends, and she must support him, otherwise it may undermine his enthusiasm in this regard.
Now, Feng Wan feels that this is a good opportunity to have a good chat with Cook. With Cook's relationship, Lin Hong's probability of becoming an international exchange student can be a little greater.
When Lin Hong and others arrived at the Friendship Hotel, Cook had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time.
What made Lin Hong feel very strange was that in addition to Cook, the little reporter in S was also present. Lin Hong was deeply impressed with this girl, because she had a camera around her neck and always ran around to take pictures of others.
Although Lin Hong also thinks that the girl is very beautiful, he is more interested in the camera in her hand. He has never seen a camera. At that time, they didn't know each other, otherwise Lin Hong would have borrowed it from him to study it carefully.
Cook introduced them as a middleman with a smile. Although he spoke English, he spoke very slowly this time so that everyone could understand.
"Hello, Aunt Feng, my name is Xu Wenjing, and I'm a student in S." Xu Wenjing greeted politely.
Although she didn't know why Cook had to invite her to the dinner party, she was still very excited to have dinner with the people she worshipped.
"Hello." Feng Wan nodded and responded, "This is my son, Lin Hong. Xiaohong, call your sister.
Originally, Lin Hong was looking at the steak in front of him and swallowing, but when he heard Xu Wenjing's mouth, he looked at her with a puzzled face.
I muttered in my heart that the voice was so familiar that I seemed to have heard it somewhere.
Hearing his mother's words, he didn't think much about it and casually shouted vaguely, "Sister."
Many years later, he regretted his mistake. In his words, "a loss of mouth makes a long-lasting hatred".
Lin Hong's mind at this moment was completely on the steak, so after the greeting, when he heard the signal to start, he began to eat directly.
Of course, when he entered the restaurant, he observed how other people ate steak, so he ate it well.
However, he cut it into large pieces. When he was a little choked, he muttered and took a sip of the drink. Unexpectedly, there was a pleasure of "eating meat and drinking in large pieces".
It would be better if you could eat it with your hands. Lin Hong thought so in his heart.
When Feng Wan saw her son like this, she was speechless again. She wants to remind her, but think about it, let it go. After all, the son is still a child. Let's talk to him about this kind of thing slowly in the future.
Cook had seen Lin Hong's big belly once, so he no longer felt strange about it. Instead, he thought that Lin Hong's true temperament was very kind, and specially ordered the waiter to make an extra one for Lin Hong to eat comfortably.
At the beginning, Cook and Feng Wan talked softly.
Xu Wenjing just listened quietly. Although sometimes some words can't be understood, in general, she still knows what is said. The main reason is that Feng Wan asked Cook about the basic information about American schools.
Although it's a little boring, there's nothing I can do.
She played the scene when she led Cook to visit the school's amateur radio club this afternoon.
When she saw the familiar card in Cook's hand, she shouted in surprise.
She also has one card in her hand, and it is well kept by herself. She has been looking forward to seeing the owner of the card one day.
So Xu Wenjing asked Cook very eagerly how the card in his hand came from, because she knew that after Cook got off the plane, he had not gone anywhere and had been in Beijing. Then there is only one possibility, and the owner of the card is also in Beijing.
Sure enough, Xu Wenjing got an affirmative answer from Cook. But when she asked where others were, the annoying Cook, saw her eager appearance, actually sold the matter, and asked the story very gossipyly.
With no way, Xu Wenjing had to tell Cook briefly what happened between her and XZZ in private. Of course, most of the details were hidden.
In the end, Cook did not tell her the answer, but invited her to his dinner and waited until after the dinner to tell him who the other party was.
This annoying Cook!
