Chapter 120 Find Her a Partner
After returning home, Gu Qiuyan picked up the sour jujube cake from the plate and took a big bite. The sour jujube cake had been dried up after being blown outside all night.
It tastes sour and sweet, and is very chewy.
Yu Hui shook and folded the finished pants. Seeing that her expression was not right, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I met two, no less than three annoying guys." The guy named Zhan is also an annoying guy.
Yu Hui frowned, "Being bullied?"
"Not really." Gu Qiuyan shook her head. "Who could bully me?"
She is the leader and big sister of the group.
I'm glad I wasn't bullied.
"Mom, Sister Yanyan is very good at playing table tennis." Gu Xixi said with a smile.
"Really?" Yu Hui looked at Gu Qiuyan and asked with a smile.
Gu Qiuyan: "Just average."
Zhao Changying, who was holding Beibei, complained, "She just loves to play. She's great at anything she does. You're a grown-up girl who should be looking for a partner, but you're still so playful. Who would dare want you in the future?"
"Mother-in-law." Gu Qiuyan stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.
When it comes to getting married, Yu Hui frowned almost imperceptibly, "Qiuyan is only seventeen, still a little girl."
"I'm only two years younger than you."
“…”
I forgot that this body is only nineteen.
"To be honest, I brought Qiuyan here this time because I wanted her father in the army to find a suitable partner for her. It doesn't matter how high his rank is or how handsome he is, as long as he is a good person." Zhao Changying said it directly.
Gu Qiuyan's eyes widened. "Grandma, you actually have such thoughts?"
Zhao Changying glared at her. "Your father and mother think the same thing. Soldiers are great. They have good health and good character. They are all good men trained by the army. They are much better than the young men in our village."
In fact, it is understandable that Zhao Changying and the others have such thoughts. The partners they find in the army are definitely better than the young men in the countryside. They just want Gu Qiuyan to find a good partner.
But this is really a bit early. At Gu Qiuyan's age, she should still study and take the college entrance examination.
In this way, she doesn't need to find a good partner to have a good future, but can rely on herself to have a good future and find a better partner.
"I don't want to find a partner. I'm still young." Gu Qiuyan said with a pout.
"You're already seventeen and you're still young? If you don't look for someone now, do you want to wait until you're twenty years old to find someone?"
An old maid at twenty?
Yu Hui's eyes twitched. "Mom, that's not how it's calculated now. The current law stipulates that girls are considered adults at the age of eighteen and can get married. Eighteen is the age of majority, so how can twenty be considered an old maid?"
"Besides, now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, I can go to university. Normally, a girl would be in her early twenties after completing university."
Zhao Changying felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "university". If she had not been admitted to university and could not go to college, she, Lin Siyu, would not have the confidence to divorce and cheat on her son.
"As a girl, the right thing to do is to get married and have children early. Going to university is a complete waste of time."
Gu Qiuye picked at his fingers and lowered his head.
"Mom, you're wrong," Yu Hui disagreed. "You're the village chief's wife. You should be the most ideologically conscious person in our village. How can you think like that?"
"Nowadays we are talking about gender equality, and women can also hold up half the sky."
"Girls go to college, gain more knowledge, and can become doctors, scientists, and leaders. They have a better future and can make great contributions to the country and society. How can this be a waste of time?"
"I don't have the conditions to study. If I were to go to junior high school, I would have to study on my own and take the college entrance examination to try to get into university."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye. If she remembered correctly, Gu Qiuye should have just graduated from junior high school, and Gu Qiuyan had graduated for two years and had not gone to high school.
"Nowadays, studying at a university is not only free, but the school also provides living allowances. After graduation, you are guaranteed a job, and these jobs are formal jobs that money can't buy. You might even be able to get a job in a government agency."
"Is it so good?" Zhao Changying didn't know that going to university was so good.
Then when Lin Siyu graduates from university and gets a good job, won't she be even more nervous?
Thinking that Lin Siyu would have a good future in the future, she felt upset.
A woman like this doesn't deserve to go to college.
"That's why I think that instead of finding a partner for Qiuyan so early, it would be better to send her to high school and then take the college entrance exam."
"Her?" Zhao Changying looked at Qiuyan and shook her head. "You know, when she was in school, she always failed Chinese and got a perfect score in math."
Are your grades so bad?
Yu Hui looked at Gu Qiuyan, who seemed to understand her expression and nodded embarrassedly.
"I don't want to go to high school and get into college. I always fall asleep in class, especially math class."
It felt like the teacher was chanting a sutra. After finally graduating, she didn't want to go back to school.
"Then learn a skill that you like, that you can make a living from, and that will make your life better and better."
Since she is not good at studying, she might as well learn a skill.
With a skill in hand, you won’t be afraid of going anywhere.
"I like to eat." Gu Qiuyan's eyes lit up, "Why don't you teach me how to cook, Sister Xiaohui?"
"Alright."
If you have good cooking skills, you can become a chef in the future, or you can set up your own stall or open a shop.
"Then this month, I will learn how to cook from you, Sister Xiaohui."
Gu Qiuyan clasped her hands together and it was settled.
Zhao Changying did not object. After she learned the cooking skills, she could cook for her parents-in-law and her husband after she got married.
It is said that to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach. If she captures the stomachs of her parents-in-law and the man in the family, they will not treat her badly.
However, I still need Gu Huai's help in finding this person.
Seeing that Gu Qiuye wasn't joining in their conversation, but instead was picking at her fingers with her head down, she looked a little down. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Qiuye should be going to high school after the summer vacation, right? Did you get in?"
"She passed the entrance exam," Gu Qiuyan said on behalf of her cousin. "She got into our county high school, but Third Dad and Third Mom wouldn't let her go."
"Why?" Yu Hui frowned.
In this day and age, it is not easy to get into high school.
Even if someone wants to go, they may not be able to.
Why was Gu Qiuye not allowed to study even though he passed the exam?
"My third father and mother said that it's useless for girls to study so much and it's a waste of money. Just finishing junior high school, being able to write and do math, and finding a job is enough."
"My husband and mother-in-law think so too," Gu Qiuyan complained, pointing at her mother-in-law. "Third Dad and Third Mom even want Youngest Dad to find Qiuye a formal job in the city."
This was what she overheard the night before she set out.
stare……
Yu Hui looked at Zhao Changying.
Zhao Changying touched his nose awkwardly.
