Chapter 83 You Don’t Know Until You Check

Unfortunately, Ye Xian was destined to be disappointed, and she had no chance of getting the rest.

Ye Xian looked at what Jiang Xia took out from behind, which were all dried goods and chickens and ducks raised at home, and looked away: She didn't even prepare a gift for the first meeting. With this kind of upbringing, it's no wonder that Jiang's father married her to the countryside.

Otherwise, with the connections that Jiang's father and mother have, she would never marry into the countryside.

When Jiang's father learned that the dried shrimps and golden pomfret were picked up and caught by Jiang Xia, he immediately went to the kitchen to steam the golden pomfret.

During dinner, Jiang's father saw Zhou Chenglei peeling shrimps and crabs for Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia did not refuse like last time, nor did he look unhappy. He just smiled.

This time when his daughter came back, her attitude towards her son-in-law had changed a lot. There was an invisible intimacy between their words, and he felt relieved.

His daughter finally thought it through. She had come home and asked for a divorce before, and he was afraid that they would really get divorced.

Zhou Chenglei was the one he carefully selected for Jiang Xia. He knew when he was in the army that he would have a bright future. Even though he was forced to retire now, he would not have made a mistake in choosing him. Jiang Xia would not really suffer after marrying him. Even if they were not rich, their life would not be bad.

Besides, Zhou Chenglei is loyal, responsible, determined, and capable. It is not easy to find such a man.

He is now a wounded tiger trapped in the plain, but he is still a tiger!

Father Jiang smiled and said, "I used to peel shrimp for Xia Xia, but now I can finally retire."

Jiang Dong also picked up a piece of braised beef for Jiang Xia. The braised beef was far away from Jiang Xia. After hearing what Jiang's father said, he immediately said, "And me! Dad, when you were not at home, I took care of my sister. Now there is finally someone to take over!"

Jiang Xia personally picked up a piece of the dish that Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and Jiang Dong ate the most.

Ye Xian watched Zhou Lei peeling shrimps and crabs for Jiang Xia, but she felt that he was just trying to please her because Jiang Xia came from a wealthy family.

Seeing that the two had a good relationship, Jiang's mother was relieved and said with a smile: "You two should have a child soon."

Father Jiang nodded: "Yes, it's better to have a baby sooner. Xia Xia, when do you plan to have a baby?"

When my daughter and son-in-law got engaged, she had just graduated from high school and failed to get into college. However, she was stubborn and insisted on getting into college. She took the exam three times before giving up.

Zhou Chenglei waited for her for two years, otherwise they would have been married long ago. After all, Zhou Chenglei was already 26 and a half years old when he got engaged.

If the two had married earlier and had children, Zhou Chenglei would not have been injured and retired from the army to return home to fisher, and his daughter would not have wanted to break off the engagement.

Jiang Xia doesn't want to have a child so early. "We don't plan to have one for now. We plan to have one after I finish my college entrance exam."

When Jiang's mother heard this, she became furious and said in a sharp voice, "What? You still want to take the college entrance examination? You failed the exam three times and you still don't give up? You are not allowed to take it again!"

Father Jiang gently kicked Mother Jiang's feet under the table.

Ye Xian looked at Jiang Xia in surprise. He failed the exam three times? So stupid?

Jiang Xia looked at Jiang's mother in surprise.

Zhou Chenglei squeezed Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Mom, I don't want a child for now. We have separated and live in the old house. The house is not big enough and too old. I think it won't be too late to have a child after we build a new house."

Father Jiang: "As long as you have a plan."

Jiang Dong: "Mom, my sister and brother-in-law have their own plans. They have only been married for a short time and are not in a hurry to have children. What's wrong with my sister going to college?"

He just didn't understand why his mother was so excited when she heard that her sister was going to take the college entrance examination! Jiang's mother suppressed her anger and said as gently as possible: "You can have children later, but don't delay it for too long. Even if you want to take the college entrance examination, don't take a college that is too far away from home. You can take a college in the city, which is close to home. It won't affect your relationship with Lei, nor will it affect your having children. When the time comes, you can still live at home, and your father and I can help take care of the child, and there is a nanny at home to help take care of it."

Father Jiang nodded: "That's fine too, Xia Xia, just do what you like."

Jiang Xia felt that Jiang's mother's reaction was a bit extreme, so he nodded calmly: "I'll consider it."

Father Jiang: "It's OK if you have your own plans. Your mother and I are just giving suggestions. The key is that you two should discuss and work together, and don't quarrel!"

Zhou Chenglei: “Yes.”

Then Jiang's father changed the subject again: "What happened to that letter? Who imitated your handwriting?"

Jiang Xia explained it.

Then the topic changed and the atmosphere finally became less tense.

After dinner, Jiang Dong sent Ye Xian to the guesthouse.

Originally, he planned to live in the study and let Ye Xian live in his room, but the atmosphere at home was a little strange. He was afraid that his mother and sister would quarrel again about the college entrance examination, so he decided to send her to live in the guesthouse.

Ye Xian and Jiang Dong walked downstairs. Seeing Jiang Dong pushing his bicycle again, Ye Xian asked casually, "You have a car at home. Have you learned to drive?"

Jiang Dong: "Yes, my sister and I both learned how to drive after we graduated from high school."

Ye Xian: "Is it easy to learn to drive? I was really scared of falling when I was learning to ride a bicycle before. Now I have a trauma when riding a bicycle! I feel that driving only requires sitting, and I feel very safe when sitting in a car."

"It's not difficult, but it's harder to learn than riding a bicycle. And learning to drive is more dangerous than learning to ride a bicycle. Although you won't fall, it's easy to get into an accident if you don't operate it properly."

Ye Xian smiled and said, "Really? I've never ridden in a car before, and I thought it was very comfortable and safe."

When Jiang Dong heard her say that she had never ridden in a car, he said, "Riding in a car is more comfortable than riding a bicycle, and it is also safer than riding a bicycle after you learn how to drive one. When I get a job and have enough money to buy a car, I'll take you for a ride."

He further explained: "My parents' cars are assigned by their company. They don't use them for personal purposes unless they need them for work. When we were in school, our school happened to be on the road my mom had to take to go to work, so we had the opportunity to take a ride. Later, when we went to junior high school, we had to walk to school. But my sister and I went to a different junior high school, so she could take a ride with my dad."

Ye Xian smiled: "Is that so? But I can see that your father treats your sister very well."

"My dad said that girls should be raised in wealth, while boys should be tempered."

"Is it true that your sister failed the college entrance exam three times?"

Jiang Dong was also puzzled by this matter: "Well, my sister usually has good grades, but she always fails in the college entrance examination. Maybe she just doesn't have good luck in the exam. That's why she is so persistent, because she has the ability to go to Beijing University."

Ye Xian pursed her lips: What do you mean by no luck in the exam? Failing the exam three times proves that you have no ability!

As for Jiang Dong's good grades, she felt that it was Jiang Dong's "prejudice", and was he too nice to Jiang Xia? He seemed to have some inexplicable admiration for his brother-in-law.

…

Jiang's father and mother chatted with Zhou Chenglei for a while. After Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia finished showering and returned to their room, the couple also returned to their room.

Father Jiang whispered to Mother Jiang: "Xiao Xia wants to take the college entrance examination, don't stop her. If she passes this time, don't do anything to her."

Jiang's mother's eyes flashed: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Father Jiang looked at her solemnly.

He was also wondering why his daughter, who had such good grades, failed to get into college after three attempts, so he asked someone to check it out.

You won’t know until you check. Once you check, you’ll be shocked! “Why don’t you want Xia Xia to go to college?”
