Chapter 103 Father and Son
"How is your study at school?" Putting down his bag, Luo Yanhua sat down on the sofa, patted the seat next to him and asked Luo Yang to sit down as well. After Luo Yang sat down, he asked kindly.
"It's okay. The course load is a bit tight, but it's not a problem for me." Luo Yang replied respectfully.
His father was usually very serious, and the Luo family had strict family education, so Luo Yang developed the habit of talking to his father like this since he was a child. As he grew older, Luo Yang was no longer as scared of his father as he was of a tiger when he was a child, but this kind of thing in his bones had never changed.
Luo Yanhua habitually asked Luo Yang some questions about school, and Luo Yang answered them one by one. After talking for a while, perhaps Luo Yanhua suddenly realized that he was not talking to his subordinate but his son, and the questions became a bit formulaic, and he couldn't help but smile.
"You should study hard in school, and you should unite with your classmates. You are a college student now, not a working young person. You should be friendly and helpful to your classmates. Friendship is very important. Maybe in the future, your classmates may be your strong arms. Remember not to put on airs in school and act noble. This is not good!"
"I understand. My classmates at school are all good and I know what I should do." Luo Yang replied.
Luo Yanhua nodded, glanced at his son and asked, "So, have you made any friends among your classmates at school now?"
When he heard his father ask this question, Luo Yang didn't know why Song Yuanchao flashed through his mind. He nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
"Oh." Luo Yanhua immediately asked with great interest: "What kind of classmate is he? Can you tell me about it?"
No one knows a son better than his father. Luo Yanhua knows his son very well. Although Luo Yang seems to be casual and doesn't have the bad temper of a kid from a wealthy family, he is actually very noble-minded. Apart from a few buddies who grew up together as children, he seldom makes friends with others.
Even during the time when Luo Yang was an educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness, Luo Yanhua once asked Luo Yang about his experience as an educated youth and wanted to learn from him about some of the friends he made during that time. However, Luo Yang acted very cold and only told Luo Yanhua that he had not made any friends during those years as an educated youth. As for other things, he did not mention a word.
This is Luo Yang's personality, but as a father, Luo Yanhua still hopes that he can make some worthwhile friends, especially since he is now a college student at Imperial University.
As a leader in his position, Luo Yanhua is very clear about why the country wants to restore the college entrance examination and give such generous treatment to college students nowadays.
The whole country is in a state of disrepair and there is a severe shortage of talent in all areas of the country. University is the best choice for cultivating talents . Luo Yanhua can imagine that after these college students graduate and enter the workplace, they will definitely be valued. Perhaps ten or twenty years later, their generation will become the backbone of the country and shoulder heavy responsibilities.
There is no so-called "three iron bonds" in this era, but from ancient times to the present, the relationships between classmates, fellow townsmen, and classmates have always been the Chinese tradition and one of the most reliable relationships.
Although Luo Yanhua is an upright person who is always meticulous in both public and private affairs, and hates those who use backdoors to gain connections, Luo Yanhua is not an old stubborn person who sticks to the old ways , so he hopes that Luo Yang can change in his college life, get along well with his classmates while studying, and it would be even better if he could make friends with a few like-minded and excellent classmates, which is extremely important for his future path.
So when Luo Yanhua heard from Luo Yang that he had made friends in college, he immediately became interested and couldn't help asking.
Luo Yang was stunned. He just answered his father's question subconsciously, but he didn't expect his father to ask more questions. For a moment, Luo Yang didn't know how to answer.
"What? You can't say it? Or are you using this kind of words to prevaricate?" Luo Yanhua's expression suddenly became stern, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Yang.
"Of course not. Actually... Actually, this classmate and my family have some connection." Facing his father's questioning, Luo Yang secretly complained. If he had known this would happen, he should not have answered like this. He should have just said no. Now, he was being questioned by his father. If he didn't tell him the whole story, he might have beaten him up in anger.
Luo Yang's answer surprised Luo Yanhua a little. He looked at Luo Yang in confusion, searching for the children of the people he knew in his mind.
Luo Yang glanced at his father, sighed inwardly, and said, "Dad, this classmate is my classmate, his name is Song Yuanchao."
"Song Yuanchao?" Luo Yanhua frowned slightly, thinking about his old friends who had the surname Song, whether they had a son named Song Yuanchao. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anyone, because in his memory, the old friends with the surname Song either had only daughters or he had never heard of anyone named Song Yuanchao, let alone anyone who was admitted to the Imperial University of Peking.
"Dad, do you still remember Uncle Lin Daoyuan?"
"Lao Lin? Is your classmate related to him?" Luo Yanhua asked in surprise.
Luo Yanhua certainly remembered Lin Daoyuan. They used to live in the same compound, had a good relationship with each other, and had worked together for a while. But now they are no longer in the same department. After Lin Daoyuan resumed his work, he went to the Planning Commission, while Luo Yanhua took a more important position. But the two still have contacts. Last month, Luo Yanhua ran into Lin Daoyuan , and the two chatted for a long time.
Luo Yang nodded and said with a stiff face: "Uncle Lin has a daughter named Lin Yan. She and my sister were childhood friends. You still remember her, right?"
"Of course I remember. Little Yanzi used to come to our house to play quite often. What? Is this Song Yuanchao Lin Yan's...?"
"Yes, he is Lin Yan's boyfriend." Luo Yang said, and then told his father about Song Yuanchao's situation in general. As Luo Yang spoke, Luo Yanhua had a general understanding of Song Yuanchao. In particular, Luo Yang embellished what he knew about Song Yuanchao in order to cover up his slip of the tongue. This made Luo Yanhua even more interested in Song Yuanchao.
"Hearing what you said, this young man is really good." Luo Yanhua nodded with satisfaction. From Luo Yang's narration, this young man named Song Yuanchao is not only excellent, but also loyal to Lin Yan. Such people are rare nowadays.
Luo Yanhua has always believed that strong ability does not mean anything. Among those great villains in history, who was not capable? The ability is only part of the standard for judging a person. The key lies in the other person's character.
From this point of view, Song Yuanchao's character is not a problem. A person who has friendship and can give to his lover can't be that bad. Moreover, Song Yuanchao performed so well in school. Moreover, he also knew Lin Yan, a girl, and watched her grow up since she was a child. If Song Yuanchao was not excellent, how could Lin Yan choose him?
Thinking of this, Luo Yanhua showed a gratified smile on his face. It was indeed a good thing that Luo Yang could make friends with such a young man, and they also had such a relationship, which made Luo Yanhua even happier.
"When you have time, ask Yan Zi and Song Yuan Chao to come to my house and sit with me. I haven't seen this girl for a long time. By the way, let's take a look at this young man Song Yuan Chao."
Luo Yanhua's words made Luo Yang secretly groan, but he couldn't say no, so he could only agree reluctantly. He hoped that his father was just saying it casually. Anyway, he was busy with work, and it would be best if he forgot about it.
"By the way, Dad, I want to ask you something." His mind was racing, and Luo Yang felt that if he continued talking, his father would probably notice something, so he quickly changed the subject.
"What's up?"
"I would like to ask you, will there be any policy adjustments in the near future to open up the market?" Luo Yang asked somewhat nervously.
"Why are you asking these questions?" Luo Yanhua suddenly became serious. He was very politically sensitive and subconsciously made a gesture of interrogating Luo Yang.
"Dad, don't forget what major I'm studying now." Luo Yang had long understood Luo Yanhua's reaction, and he was not panicked at all. Instead, he explained: "My major is economics. I have been studying this knowledge these days, and at the same time thinking about these problems about our country's economy. I went out for a walk and took a look during my spare time these days. I suddenly discovered a problem, which is about some changes outside..."
Luo Yang immediately reported to his father what he had seen, including the situations he had discussed with Da Bing, Jun Zi, and Xiao Qiao. After he finished speaking, he said to his father, "It is precisely because of these reasons that I initially judged that there will be a trend of opening up the market, but I am not sure, so I asked you this question. If it is inconvenient, you can choose not to tell me."
After listening to Luo Yang's explanation, Luo Yanhua's expression eased. Looking at his son, he suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart. His son has finally grown up!
