Chapter 254 2002
"Aunt, you are so enthusiastic, but the question is whether your Tingmei will be willing?" Yang Fangqin asked.
"Yes, definitely." Aunt Meihua said, patting her chest.
"Okay, I'll arrange a meeting between the two of you during the Chinese New Year."
"Sure, sure." Aunt Meihua said happily and brought a basket of cherries to each of them.
These are imported goods, and a box costs three hundred yuan. Yang Fangqin insisted on paying for them, but Aunt Meihua said she didn't want any. After a few rounds of refusals, Zhong Hui said she had bought all the New Year's goods for Aunt Meihua's family, and then they stopped.
In the evening, Aunt Meihua called her daughter Tingmei and said, "Xiaomei, your sister-in-law Fangqin introduced you to a man. He's a local and a partner in her driving school. You know the driving school, right? Business is booming right now."
Aunt Meihua kept on talking, and Tingmei on the other end of the phone pushed her glasses up, looking helpless: "Mom, I'm so busy with work now, how can I have time to date?"
"Time can be squeezed out. Besides, Xiaomei, your job requires you to stay up late every day. It's really too hard. Your dad and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. Otherwise, you can come back and take the exam to become a teacher or a civil servant, and work right next to our home."
"When you come back, your dad and I will buy you a car. Coincidentally, you don't have a driver's license yet, so why don't you go to your sister Fangqin's driving school to take the test?"
Her mother had mentioned this several times. Zhong Tingmei lowered her eyes. She studied social journalism and found a job in a publishing house after graduation. The work was very tedious and tiring, which was a little different from what she expected.
The ambitions I had when I first entered society have now been worn down by work. What I want to do most every day is to go to bed early.
"Besides, if you come back, no matter where you get a job, your parents will buy you an apartment next to your workplace. This way, you can be close to work and you don't have to drive. You can just walk to your workplace in a few minutes." Aunt Meihua said with a smile.
Zhong Tingmei swallowed and felt shamefully moved.
I'm not looking for a blind date, I just want to avoid having to fight a war on the bus in the morning so I can sleep in a little longer.
"But I've been in college for so many years, and I majored in journalism. Isn't that a waste?"
"What's the waste in this? No matter what job you do, you are contributing to society. Teachers teach and educate people, and civil servants serve the people. These are all good jobs." Aunt Meihua has not received much education, but now she is advising her daughter, which means she is really using all she has learned in her life.
Ting Mei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I won't go out after the New Year and will study for the exam at home."
"Oh, that's right." Aunt Meihua hung up the phone happily. Fortunately, although her son was not very good, her daughter was still obedient.
Zhong Tingmei threw down her cell phone, lay back on the bed, and said, "Who cares? I won't be working overtime today. I work overtime until midnight every night, but I only get paid a few dollars. I quit!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
In the sky, colorful fireworks bloomed one after another, dyeing the sky into brilliant colors. On the ground, people raised their glasses to celebrate the new year.
"Cheers, I wish us good health and prosperity in the new year." Zhong Xiong took out his treasured Moutai.
Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin poured a glass of juice and also poured some juice for the children. The whole family raised their glasses to celebrate.
On TV, there was still the familiar host and a festive tone, and the Spring Festival Gala officially began.
Amidst laughter and joy, it’s 2002!
