…
As August approached, Xie Ailian became more and more anxious.
Qiao Li's attitude was pretty good, and she started helping Wang Zhaozhao pack his luggage.
This time I won’t be back until winter vacation.
"Oh, I'm packing all the time. It seems like I need to take everything with me, but it also seems like I don't need to." Wang Zhaozhao suddenly sighed.
"You don't need to bring mats, blankets, kettles, washbasins, or anything like that. The school might give them to you, otherwise you can buy them over there..."
Alas, if none of us can go to see you off, there will be no one to accompany you when you need to buy daily necessities."
Qiao Li looked melancholy.
Wang Zhaozhao said, "It's likely that they will get it. If not, I can go buy it with Yanni and the others. It's okay."
"You already have several good friends. This is really a great thing." Qiao Li felt relieved when she said this.
On August 2, Xu Chengnian specially sent Xu Yanni to Dayun Lane to invite the Wang family to have lunch together at noon tomorrow to discuss Wang Zhaozhao and the others' reporting to Beijing.
Xie Ailian actually agreed immediately, which surprised Wang Zhaozhao.
The next day, according to rural custom, the whole family brought some eggs and vegetables and set off for Xu's house.
After waiting at the door for a while, Xu Yanni ran over quickly to pick up the people, and Chen Pei also ran over with her.
"Sister Ni called me and said that Uncle Xu wanted to hold a meeting, hehe..." After entering the door, Chen Pei explained with a smile.
Well! Their fathers should be very familiar.
After entering the room and saying hello, and having a lively chat, the three girls went into Xu Yanni's room to play, and Wang Zhaozhao also took Wang Chaohui away.
Xie Ailian rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Song Juan smiled and said no need, the dishes were almost ready, Xu Niannian could just cook.
In their family, whoever is free usually cooks, but Xu Chengnian is usually busier.
But whenever there are guests at home, Xu Chengnian is definitely the one who cooks. The dishes he cooks are both beautiful and delicious.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, my cooking doesn't look good and the taste is average either." Song Juan said with an embarrassed smile, "According to my daughter Ni, as long as I cook, she only wants it to be cooked or not burnt."
"You are a capable person and have a job to do. It's normal that you are not good at housework." Xie Ailian said seriously.
"I said Xiao Qiao is lucky to have a good mother-in-law who is particularly open-minded." Song Juan smiled and patted Qiao Li's hand.
Qiao Li smiled and nodded, "Many people in our village envy me."
"Isn't it? The mother-in-law is open-minded, the daughter-in-law is sensible, and they live in harmony. How can such a family not be prosperous?"
"Oh! My ideological awareness has improved only in recent years. It wasn't so good before." If Wang Zhaozhao were here, he would definitely be able to see that Comrade Xie Ailian was proud.
Chen's mother also joined in. "How wonderful! Progress is good regardless of whether it's early or late."
Although Song Juan's words were meant to be nice, they were also sincere. "Old lady, I wanted to say this last time. I really admire your support for Xiao Qiao to continue taking the college entrance examination and go to university."
"Oh! Xiao Qiao took the college entrance examination this year?" Chen's mother exclaimed in surprise. "Oh, that's really not easy, old lady... this!"
She gave a thumbs up.
Xie Ailian's face was flushed by the praise, and she became reserved and spoke more cautiously.
Then, Chen's mother talked about this year's college entrance examination.
"If we have to take the pre-exam early, I wonder how many people will be eliminated? I don't know if this is a good idea or not."
Song Juan shook her head, "We can't judge whether it's good or not... There must be people who originally had decent grades, but didn't perform well in the pre-test and thus lost the chance to take the real college entrance exam.
But, on the other hand, it is true that since the resumption of the college entrance examination, there have been too many people signing up for the exam, and the candidates' conditions are really too...
The purpose of the pre-examination is to reduce the pressure of the college entrance examination and lower the elimination rate.
It also eases the difficulty of organizing the unified examination."
"Yeah, we can't say it's fair or not. We can only say that times are changing like this, and we can only adapt to the times."
Qiao Li nodded and sighed.
She did feel the doubled pressure, but what could she do?
To put it bluntly, only the fittest survive.
A few women were chatting here. I don’t know when Wang Sibing and Chen’s father went into the kitchen to help Xu Chengnian.
Wang Dahai didn't go over and just watched TV by himself.
There was also small talk in the kitchen, but the topics were completely different.
They were talking about the factory that Wang Sibing and Lian Hong opened together.
This is the first privately owned factory in Zhushan County and even in Lianshan City.
"This timing is really a coincidence. My eldest niece went to Beijing. Even if my wife can't get into Beijing, she can at least go to a provincial university.
The factory is almost complete, and after the first batch of production officially started, I started running around to do business in October."
As Wang Sibing spoke, he cooperated with Xu Chengnian and sprinkled some chopped green onions into the pot.
"What are you doing? Asking the school to help you keep your wife? You'd better be careful, there are more young talents in the school, and they are more concentrated." Chen's father joked.
"I still have some confidence." Wang Sibing smiled. "If I'm away on business for a month or two, I won't miss her so much while she's at school."
"Hahaha, what you said... is very practical." Xu Chengnian laughed while rinsing the pot that had just been used to serve the food under the faucet.
The dishes started to be served, the restaurant was cleaned up and the dishes were set out.
Ten dishes and one soup were served, and Wang Zhaozhao and the others were called out.
If you squeeze in a little, you can sit at one table.
Everyone ate and chatted, and the first thing they talked about was the main business of the day.
"My eldest niece's analysis is that having students register for school independently might be part of an assessment. So, if someone takes them to the airport, will they be penalized?"
Wang Sibing spoke first.
Father Chen shook his head repeatedly. "It's definitely not okay to let them take the train. Three little girls, no matter how smart they are, if they encounter human traffickers... I'm telling you, I had a nightmare last night. They took her away with a handful of drugs. I woke up in a cold sweat."
He still feels scared when he talks about it. It was noon on such a hot day and he was still eating hot meals. His hair stood on end.
"Taking the train is troublesome. After getting to the train station, you have to transfer to another train to go to the airport." Xu Chengnian sighed.
"Our city and county only have shuttle buses to the provincial capital, not to the airport. We definitely have to transfer." Wang Sibing also sighed.
The three old fathers were extremely worried, while the three parties involved were eating seriously and, of course, listening with their rabbit ears perked up.
Because the pressure was not that great and the consumption was small, the three of them only ate two bowls of rice.
Xu Yanni raised her hand and said, "We don't think it's a big problem."
Wang Zhaozhao added, "Let's take the bus to the provincial capital. We can ask Xu Renjie to wait for us at the station. He's from the provincial capital, so he'll definitely know where to get a bus to the airport."
Chen Pei, "I always thought my dad was just nervous for no reason."
Father Chen: “……!”
