Chapter 142 Everything is new to me, Zhang's mother is puzzled

Li Yongfu nodded, sat down and looked around the high-end sofa and table, as well as the tea tray on the table that was nearly one-third the size of the table. He didn't know what it was made of, but the color was as dark as sunken wood, shiny black, with the unique texture of wood, and carved dragons and phoenixes. It looked very grand, completely different from the small rectangular plastic tea trays they used in the countryside.

When Zhang's father came over with the tea leaves, he pressed a button on the small coffee table next to him. The lid of the teapot suddenly popped open and the water on it flowed out automatically. After a while, it stopped automatically. Zhang's father closed the lid and the kettle boiled water by itself. It was very convenient.

Li Yongfu and the others all gathered around curiously to study it. After seeing the large barrel of mineral water below, Li Meili said with a sigh, "These city people really know how to enjoy life. It must cost several hundred yuan to buy such a set of things!"

"A few hundred dollars? Where are you going to buy it? I estimate it will cost at least a thousand dollars!" Li Yongshou guessed. He worked on a construction site and had some experience.

Li Meili was so scared that she retracted her hand and sat down on the sofa obediently, not daring to look around.

Father Zhang never said anything, and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to stay in Pu City for one night?"

Li Yongfu shook his head. "How can we stay here all night? It's because the child did so well in the exam that we came here specially to see him. We have a lot of things to do at home. If I really stay here all night, the child's mother will fight with me when I go back tomorrow! By the way, where are Bai Yan and Wan Wan? Why are there no sounds?"

"They went to take the driving test. Bai Yan also signed his sister up for a guqin class. The girl is very busy now and will be back soon. It's hot at noon, so they don't need to practice driving." Father Zhang laughed and looked several years younger.

Li Yongfu enviously said, "You have really made it! Both of your children are promising, and you two have also worked hard. You don't have to worry about your future. Maybe Wanwan's cousins will even need their help in the future!"

Father Zhang pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you talking about! We are all family, so we should not have different opinions. When we were in such a difficult time, weren't you the one who gritted your teeth and helped us get through it?"

The three of them were very pleased with what Mr. Zhang said.

It was almost noon when Zhang's mother finally came back, followed by Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan. The three of them were carrying a bunch of things and their walking was abnormal.

As soon as Zhang Wanwan saw Li Yongfu and the others, she immediately called for help obediently.

"Finally, we have our provincial top scholar back!" Li Meili laughed, walked up and stuffed a red envelope into Zhang Wanwan's arms, then Li Yongfu and Li Yongshou, everyone took turns stuffing money into her, which made Zhang Wanwan a little overwhelmed.

Zhang's mother smiled and refused, "We are very happy that you came here, why give us red envelopes? Take them back, take them back."

Li Yongfu was unhappy and said with a straight face: "This is for our child, not for you! Why are you interfering? Take the child and think of it as a little gift from your two uncles and aunt. You can also buy him some new clothes. You will be a big girl when you go to college and you can dress up well!"

Since Li Yongfu had said so, Zhang's mother couldn't continue to refuse and persuaded Zhang Wanwan to accept the red envelope, and the matter was over.

Since it was a rare visit from her brothers and sisters from her mother's side, Zhang's mother really used all her tricks this time, bringing out all the dishes she was good at, including all kinds of seafood and various main dishes, filling the table.

Li Yongfu was delighted when he saw it, "My little sister has put out all the food she has cooked for many years!"

Li Yongshou nodded at the side and praised her affirmatively: "The cooking skills are much better than before you got married. Even the presentation of the dishes is very particular. You are really capable!"

Father Zhang smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and opened the beer in the refrigerator for them.

It was a rare happy day today, and Li Yongfu and the others did not hold back. They kept toasting Zhang's father and mother. Even Zhang Baiyan drank several glasses. Only Zhang Wanwan drank the juice obediently and felt full after a while.

At the dinner table, Li Yongfu asked about the school Zhang Wanwan applied for. When they heard that Zhang Wanwan chose Beijing Agricultural University, the adults were stunned.

Zhang's mother was anxious, "Why didn't you discuss this with us? With such good grades, why didn't you apply to Huazhong University and Beijing University?"

Zhang Wanwan calmly explained, "Because I want to study a major related to agriculture, but Huazhong University and Peking University don't have such a major. What do you think I should do?"

"Then change your major!" Zhang's mother said as a matter of course.

Zhang Wanwan shook her head. "What will I do after I graduate from a major I'm not interested in? Will I work in a job that makes me unhappy? Besides, I'm studying at Beijing University of Political Science and Law, and I'll definitely stay in a big city to develop my career. What will you do if I stay in a big city too? And I don't like the pace of life in a big city. It's better for me to study a major that I'm interested in, and then return to my hometown to start my own business. I believe I can definitely make a career in the future!"

Zhang's father and mother were speechless for a long time. Li Yongfu sighed and said, "This girl is so filial! She still has to consider you at this time. Forget it, since the child has made up her mind, you don't have to say anything. I believe this girl is not an ordinary person. Even if she comes back in the future, she will definitely live a prosperous life. You don't have to worry about it!"

Zhang's mother's eyes were red, and she felt touched and guilty. She choked up and said, "We just want our children to be better and better, and they don't have to worry about us. Alas! It's because we are useless that our children have to worry about us all the time!"

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Zhang Wanwan was unhappy. "I applied to this school because I want to study something that interests me. How did it get dragged down to other places? The best school in China for this major is Beijing Agricultural University. My grades are not wasted! Besides, there are top talents in every field. How do you know that the major I chose is not good? I have to go to Huada or Beijing University, and then study a major that I am not interested in, and come out to do something that I am not interested in. Is this good for me?"

Zhang's mother was speechless. Zhang's father, who had been silent all this time, spoke up now: "Okay! Since the girl has her own plans, don't worry about it. She has to be happy in her life. What we think is good may not be suitable for her. Since she has already applied, let it be. Just study hard in the future!"

Zhang's father thought more simply. As long as Zhang Wanwan was happy, she could live the way she wanted in the future. At worst, they would have to work harder to save more for the family business. Even if she didn't work after graduation and wanted to get married, that would be fine. She could just live on the business they gave her.

Li Yongfu and others had the same idea.

After being persuaded by everyone, Zhang's mother said nothing more.

After Li Yongfu and his group left, Zhang's mother wanted to continue discussing the issue, but Zhang's father asked directly, "Is your daughter's happiness more important or is it more important that we treat her well?"

This one sentence made Zhang's mother unable to say all the words she had prepared.
