The scorching summer, Zhang the Second received a call from Zhang Guoqing and his son a thousand miles away, and upon learning that his little nephew was going abroad to study, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
As soon as he arrived at the unit's dormitory building, he greeted Lin Juhua, and didn't even bother to have dinner first before hurrying overnight to the county town.
When Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang heard the news, their feelings were a mix of surprise and delight.
The surprise was that their grandson, barely 20 years old, was going abroad alone. Could he manage it? It's such a long way; when would he arrive?
The delight was from understanding how much of an honor studying abroad is; just look at how envious people from the provincial city are whenever someone mentions going overseas...
Times have truly changed.
In past years, having overseas connections was a disaster.
