Chen Suwen, possessing the 'healing,' 'wood,' and 'fire' elemental abilities, is a hot-tempered and shrewish individual. She unexpectedly transmigrates into the persona of a...
The whole family went to a state-run restaurant for a meal, and even Zhou Cunming and his wife brought their children back with them.
"Are you confident in yourselves? Ah Zong, which university do you plan to apply to?" Zhou Cunming did not take the college entrance examination. Although he had good grades back then, he had not studied for many years.
As a driver for a transport team, he rarely studied anything from books, except for driving skills and basic car repair.
He wasn't very excited when the college entrance examination was reinstated. After all, he already had a job and didn't need to work hard to get into university like those educated youth who were sent to the countryside, just so they could return to the city.
Zhou Cunming did not take the college entrance examination, while his wife Li Yulan was a poor student. She was able to get a job as a propagandist in the propaganda department because she was the only child in the Li family. Her parents spent a lot of money and connections to get her the job.
Although she worked in the publicity department, she wasn't very good at writing, so while everyone else was taking the college entrance exam, she didn't intend to.
Zhou Cunming and Li Yulan, a married couple, did not intend to take the college entrance examination, but they greatly admired the spirit of Xu Huixue and her classmates who worked so hard to participate in the exam.
"For our family to produce several college students all at once is practically a stroke of good luck," Zhou Cunming joked.
"Hmph, your brother is taking the college entrance exam, and what about you? Don't you have any thoughts?" Chen Suwen asked him with a cold snort.
"Mom, I don't have any interest in going to school. I really like my current job."
He preferred driving, which is why he chose to become a driver for the transport team and was willing to become a son-in-law of the Li family, because that's how his father-in-law would teach him everything he knew.
Zhou Cunming smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, you know me. I can't sit still in the classroom."
If his parents hadn't forced him to study hard back then, his grades wouldn't have been above average; he might have been at the bottom.
So, he really couldn't bring himself to give up his current job to take the college entrance exam.
And who says that just because he takes the college entrance exam he's guaranteed to get into university?
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. So many people across the country take the Gaokao, but the number of students admitted is fixed. He had no confidence that he could pass the exam.
Chen Suwen rolled her eyes at him, "If you don't want to participate, then you don't have to. I wasn't expecting you to anyway."
"Acong, don't be like your father. You need to study hard. If you don't get into university, you'll see what I do to you then." Chen Suwen tapped Li Cong's forehead to warn him.
Of course, she also warned Zhao Lexin and the others, "You all need to study hard. If you don't study hard, you won't get a good job. Only after you get into university can you get a good job, understand?"
"Understood, Grandma." Zhao Lexin, Zhou Xian, Zhou Mei, Li Cong, and even Zhou Shan and Zhou Hu, who had just started speaking more fluently, all responded to Chen Suwen in unison.
Zhou Cunming: "..."
Has he become a negative example?
But no matter what, he lacked confidence in himself, and since he couldn't pass the exam, he wouldn't bother with taking it.
The family arrived at the state-run restaurant and immediately occupied two tables.
Guangzhou is a big city. Before liberation, it had large restaurants, which were later converted into state-run restaurants.
The restaurant Chen Suwen and her group have come to is a very large restaurant that has been converted into a state-run restaurant. There are twenty or thirty tables on the first floor alone.
Chen Suwen and her family occupied two tables, mainly because there were many adults and children, and one table simply couldn't accommodate them all.
After sitting down, Zhou Qingyun took his son to order food. Since it was to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination for his family, the dishes they ordered could be more plentiful and a little "luxurious".
White-cut chicken is a must, after all, no feast is complete without chicken in Guangdong Province, and this classic dish is absolutely indispensable.
One roast goose, please.
"Do you really want a roast goose?"
“Yes, there are quite a few of us, so one roast goose is just enough.” Zhou Qingyun nodded, indicating that one roast goose was just right and there was no need for less.
"Alright, one roast goose."
Having bought roast goose, they didn't plan to buy roast duck anymore. They already had poached chicken and roast goose, but they didn't plan to order roast suckling pig. Zhou Qingyun ordered a plate of char siu and several servings of pork trotter rice.
Then came boiled shrimp, lettuce with oyster sauce, boiled bok choy, steamed crab, steamed fish, and other dishes. In total, we ordered nine dishes and a soup, making it a perfect ten.
As the dishes were served one after another, both adults and children were very excited.
The seafood porridge we ordered is suitable for the children, especially Zhou Shan and Zhou Hu, as well as Li Yao and Zhou Qiong. They can all enjoy the seafood porridge.
"I wish you a resounding victory and that you win the championship!" Zhou Qingyun raised his glass and said to his son and daughter-in-law.
"I wish you all the best in getting into your dream universities." Chen Suwen also raised her glass, wishing them success in their exams in advance.
"Mom, we might not get in." Shen Wenxiu was a little embarrassed. They had just finished their exams, and now they were already celebrating getting into university?
"It's alright. If you don't pass this year, you can try again next year. As long as you have a solid foundation, you will definitely pass." Chen Suwen didn't care at all.
She didn't take the college entrance exam back then, so she wasn't quite sure what that feeling was like.
But she also knows very well that the college entrance examination is extremely important to many people, and going to university is extremely important, but she will not put pressure on them.
If they can perform consistently, they should be able to get into their desired universities.
"Yes, yes, as long as you perform steadily, you will definitely pass the exam." Zhou Cunming firmly believed that his younger brother, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law would be able to get into university.
He definitely won't go to university; the only way to become a university student is for his younger brother, sister-in-law, and elder sister-in-law to do so.
If the Zhou family produces several college graduates, it will truly bring glory to their family.
"Yes, you've studied very well during this period. As long as you maintain your performance, you'll definitely be fine."
"It's okay if you don't pass the exam this year, you can try again next year. If you don't pass next year, you can try again the year after."
“The college entrance examination has been reinstated and will not be easily canceled again. As long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to get into university.” Zhou Cunzhi also held his wife’s hand, giving her a sense of reassurance.
Xu Huixue felt the warmth of the man's hands, and her smile was very sincere.
“Mom, you’ll definitely get into college. I’ll have a college student mom in the future, and everyone will be so envious of me,” Zhou Mei said with a smile, hugging her mother’s arm.
"Yes, Mom is a college student. Other kids must be very envious of me, especially Ah Gou. He must be extremely envious."
“Agou’s mother didn’t take the college entrance exam. When you become a college student, but Agou’s mother didn’t, he will definitely be very envious of me,” Zhou Xian added.
"Mom~ Awesome~" Zhou Shan and Zhou Hu encouraged their mother, their faces full of pride.
"Mom's awesome, but what about Dad?" Zhou Cunzong was a little jealous. His daughter only comforted and encouraged her mother. Had she forgotten that their father was also taking the college entrance examination?
"Daddy's a good boy~ Daddy's great too~"
Although their father was childish, the twin sisters still managed to coax him a little.
They love their mother, but they love their father too, so it's better to appease their father.
It's so tough for them, who are only two years old.
