Chapter 691: No. 1 in the world
Gu Haifan was admitted to Harvard Medical School. After receiving the news, Lu Jiaxin immediately called him: "Haifan, congratulations."
She was cheating, but this child suddenly came from the countryside to the prosperous metropolis of Hong Kong City. I don’t speak Cantonese and I have never been exposed to English. I really started from scratch. It is not easy to get to where I am now in seven years. I have to praise Gu Xiuxiu here for her ruthless vision in selecting people.
Gu Haifan guessed that he would be admitted to Harvard, but he was still unsettled before the results came out, but now his mind is finally settled.
Lu Jiaxin asked: "School starts in September, when are you going to come back?"
Gu Haifan said it was not that fast: "I have to finish repairing my dad's grave before I can come back. It will take about two days to repair the grave, and I also want to thank the people who helped me. Cousin, I'll be back on the 22nd."
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "We don't have any relatives in Hong Kong City, so we won't hold a banquet. Since you plan to hold a banquet after repairing the grave to thank those who helped you, then hold it for three days and treat it as a celebration of getting admitted to college. Haifan, I’ll pay for it.”
Gu Haifan hurriedly refused: "Cousin, no, I have money."
Lu Jiaxin was in a good mood: "I don't know how much money you have. I sent so many red envelopes last time, so I definitely don't have much left. Don't argue with me, it's settled."
Although Gu Haifan is still just a student, he has six houses under his name. Gu Xiuxiu bought two houses for her, and the other four were sold villas. The half of the money that belonged to him was also used by Lu Jiaxin to buy a house. The houses in Hong Kong City are very easy to rent, and you can earn tens of thousands of dollars every month. There is an education fund for his education and tutoring, and his family is responsible for the food and clothing expenses. In addition to buying some of his favorite books and things, Gu Haifan also spent a lot of money over the past few years.
Seeing her say this, Gu Haifan smiled and agreed.
The day before the grave repair, he returned to his hometown again, this time with four bodyguards. One is Zhang Kun, and the other three are all recommended by Xing Ziyang. They are all Lianjiazi and they know their roots and are trustworthy.
This time Gu Haifan went back and received warm hospitality from everyone. This was what he expected, after all, the last red envelope sent out nearly 80,000 Chinese dollars. But it was impossible to get him to pay for it. One-third of the deposit was removed from the last red envelope.
Gu Haifan thanked the villagers for their kindness in the evening and returned to his home with his sixth uncle: "Uncle, are the materials for my father's tomb construction ready? Have the people been invited as well?"
Uncle Liu smiled and said: "It's all done, just wait for the repair tomorrow. I hired two masters this time and it can be repaired in one day."
After saying this, he entered the room and stuffed the big red envelope given by Gu Haifan back to him: "You kid, you still want to study, keep this money for yourself."
He knew that Ms. Gu had Alzheimer's disease and could do nothing. From now on, Haifan, the child, would have to rely on himself for everything. So he won't ask for the money, it's too hot.
Gu Haifan pushed the red envelope back and said with a smile: "Uncle, my aunt has deposited a sum of money in the bank as an education fund. This education fund means that no matter how old I am in school, all expenses can be spent from it. "
Liu Bogong understood: "It doesn't cost money to study, but you have to spend money to eat. I heard that things in Hong Kong City are very expensive. If you have money, you won't panic in trouble."
Gu Haifan felt warm in his heart. His sixth uncle was still so good: "Uncle, I have several houses under my name. I pay the rent every month and I can't use them all."
"How many houses do you have in your name? You didn't lie to me."
Gu Haifan smiled and said: "I'm not lying to you, my aunt and cousin bought it to give me a sense of security. With these houses, I can have enough food and clothing without having to do anything in my life."
Uncle Liu immediately said with a straight face: "You are still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future. Don't have such lazy thoughts."
Gu Haifan said that he was joking: "Uncle, I was admitted to Harvard Medical School. My cousin was very happy to know that she asked me to set up a flowing water mat in the village for three days to thank everyone for their help to me over the years." "Three days of flowing water mat is not a big deal. How much money?”
Gu Haifan said with a smile on his face: "My cousin said that she will pay for the running banquet. I don't know what to do with the banquet. Uncle, I have to trouble you to teach me about this."
Uncle Liu happily called his son and daughter-in-law in and asked them to help prepare the banquet. As for repairing the tomb, it is enough to have his help.
The eldest son of Liu Bogong asked: "Haifan, what university did you go to?"
Harvard Medical School? He scratched his head and asked sheepishly: "Haifan, we have never heard of the school you mentioned. What kind of school is it?"
Gu Haifan patiently explained to him that Harvard is the top university in the world, and its medical school ranks first in the world. He is planning to study for a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and a Ph.D., but he has an education fund and rent, so he doesn't worry about the cost.
After hearing this, Liu Bogong said: "Isn't that more powerful than Huada and Beijing University?"
Gu Haifan nodded and said, "Harvard ranks ahead of BGI and Peking University among global universities."
The sixth uncle was so excited that he felt that he was honoring his ancestors. Originally, he wanted to go to the village chief to open an ancestral hall to inform his ancestors, but he was stopped by Gu Haifan, who said he didn't want to cause such an instigation.
The next day, Gu Haifan and Uncle Liu were on the mountain in the morning. I originally planned to finish it in one day, but there were so many helpers that it took most of the day.
After Gu Haifan offered incense to his father, he went down the mountain with his sixth uncle. Before he reached the sixth uncle's house, he was blocked by a woman with a weathered face.
The woman looked at him, her eyes were red and she called Haifan, and then her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Gu Haifan didn't pretend not to know him. That would be too fake. He didn't bother to do this: "What are you doing here?"
Ge Xiaohong was sad to see his distant and indifferent look, and said while crying: "Mom heard that you were back, so she came over to see you. Haifan, how have you been in Hong Kong City these years?"
Gu Haifan sneered and said, "Why didn't you ask me how I was doing after you left?"
Ge Xiaohong was so blocked that she couldn't speak.
Gu Haifan was unwilling to waste time with her: "When you left me to remarry, you said that my fate as mother and son was over in this life, and you told me not to look for you in the future. I have fulfilled my promise over the years, even if I am about to starve to death. Go find you."
Ge Xiaohong regretted it so much. If she had known that he was so promising, she shouldn't have said such serious words in the first place: "I had no choice at the time."
Gu Haifan was already sensible back then and knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to find a new home with him, so she said such things.
Gu Haifan said: "If I were still the same poor person who was about to starve to death, would you come here to recognize my son? You wouldn't. You would only be glad that you dumped me as a dragster. So don't tell me that you have no last resort. Our mother and son The relationship ended seven years ago. It’s impossible to get any benefit from me.”
