Chapter 84 Jiang's Mother's Reason

Mother Jiang met Father Jiang's deep eyes and looked back at him: "I don't want Xia Xia to go to college, I just don't want her to go to a college too far away from home. Have you forgotten how skinny Xia Xia was when she was born? The doctors said she couldn't survive? How carefully did we raise her to this age? She falls ill if we're not careful, and I don't want her to be too far away from home. But she only wants to go to Beijing University, to study in Beijing City, and she doesn't even consider other schools!"

Jiang's father didn't understand: "The child has ambitions and abilities, wouldn't it be good for her to go to Peking University? She is in good health now. Dongdong is also in Peking University, and the siblings can take care of each other."

"You forgot what the fortune teller said about her..."

Jiang's father didn't like her talking about these unfounded things the most, so he interrupted her: "I told you not to be superstitious! Don't tell me these things, I don't believe them! Don't hinder the child's development!"

"I don't care. I will never let her leave me. I raised her with great difficulty. I just want to see her grow old by my side and have children safely! Now that she is married, why does she still need to go to college? Didn't you say that Zhou Chenglei is absolutely worthy of entrusting your life to? What's the point of her going to college? It's better to have a baby as soon as possible and take good care of the child at home, so that going to college won't affect the relationship between husband and wife."

Father Jiang: "These are two completely different things. Xia Xia can have her own dreams and pursuits after getting married. The two do not affect each other. Cheng Lei is not the kind of person who sticks to the old ways. Didn't I never ask you to stay at home to take care of the children? What should I say about you?"

Jiang's mother: "Anyway, I just won't let Xia Xia go to Beijing to study at university. It's too far and I'm worried. You don't believe the fortune-telling, but I do. Stop talking!"

Mother Jiang went to take a shower carrying her clothes.

Father Jiang: “…”

Her reasons could not convince him.

But Jiang's father couldn't think of any other reason.

Jiang's mother is not usually so paranoid in her dealings with things, but she is particularly extreme about her daughter going to college.

* Another room

Zhou Chenglei was leaning against the bookshelf and flipping through the books on it.

Jiang Xia had many books, of all kinds, covering a wide range of subjects, and even quite a few original English books. He picked up two books at random and flipped through them, and found that there were handwritings in each book. Of course, some of the words were Jiang's father's, but there were also Jiang Xia's. Obviously, she had read them.

It should be a book that Jiang's father had read and recommended to her.

Jiang's father returned from studying abroad and gave up literature to join the army. Zhou Chenglei also learned a lot from Jiang's father. It was Jiang's father who helped him go to college in the army.

Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia: "Are there any of these books you would like to read? Do you want to take a few home to read?"

Jiang Xia was also looking at what books the original owner had read. She mentioned a few titles that she hadn't read: "Just these few. I've read the others. Do you have any you want to read? If so, take them back and read them."

Zhou Chenglei said, "Then I'll pick a few too."

"Okay." Jiang Xia responded casually. During dinner, Jiang's mother had said that there were not many things in this room that she brought with her when she got married, so if there was a need, she could just pack some and bring them over, there was no need to buy anything.

Jiang Xia took a look at the books in the bookcase and got a rough idea of ​​what was going on. Then he opened the original owner's wardrobe and planned to pick out some clothes to take home.

There are a lot of clothes in the closet, and the styles are nice. They don’t look cheap at first glance, but most of them are skirts, which are not suitable for daily wear in the village.

Zhou Chenglei took a look at her large wardrobe of clothes. The contrast was stark compared to the empty closet at home, which only had a few pieces.

Jiang Xia only picked out two new skirts, and then took away several short-sleeved shirts and several pairs of trousers. The original owner liked to wear dresses very much, and these short-sleeved T-shirts and trousers seemed to have never been worn. She also picked out a few sets of autumn clothes, and would come back to get the winter clothes when the time came. After all, the place was not too far away, and it was normal to come back once every one or two months.

From this wardrobe, we can tell that the original owner lived a good life at home, but Jiang's mother's attitude towards her going to college was a bit strange. Jiang Xia felt that Jiang's mother's desire to control her was stronger than Jiang Dong's.

But in reality, she has also seen some parents with a strong desire for control, who insist that their children do things according to their requirements, such as which university to enter, what major to study, what job to do in the future, and even their choice of partner.

Is Jiang's mother like this too? After only spending a few hours together, Jiang Xia couldn't make a conclusion.

Zhou Chenglei specifically picked original books. Jiang Xia spoke French well, and Zhou Chenglei also wanted to learn a foreign language.

He wanted to have a common language with her and also wanted her to teach him.

"Why are there no French documents?" Zhou Chenglei asked.

Jiang Xia was thinking about Jiang's mother and didn't react for a while.

Zhou Chenglei looked back at her and saw that she was distracted while packing clothes, looking like she was worried. Thinking of what Jiang's mother said during dinner, he guessed that she was affected. Fearing that she would be unhappy, he put down the book, walked over, and hugged her from behind: "Are you thinking about what your mother said during dinner?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "Do you think my mother's attitude towards me going to Beijing to study in university is a bit strange?"

"Yes, a little bit. You also wanted to go to Beijing to go to college before? What was your mother's attitude at that time?" Zhou Chenglei also found it strange.

Parents all hope their sons will become successful and their daughters will become outstanding.

Beijing has the best university in the country, why not allow Jiangxia to go?

And why can't Jiang Xia go, but Jiang Dong can? Does Jiang's mother not want Jiang Xia to go to college in Beijing, or does she not want Jiang Xia to go to college? Is she not wanting Jiang Xia to go to college in Beijing before or after marriage? Both of these questions must be clarified first.

How could Jiang Xia know where the original owner wanted to go to college, and how could he know what Jiang's mother's attitude was before?

She said vaguely: "Forget it, never mind, I'm already married, how can she care so much?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She has studied at Peking University, and in this life she wants to study at Tsinghua University, which is also in Beijing, a bit far away.

Jiang Xia turned around and faced him. If they went to Tsinghua University, they would have to be apart for several years.

She looked at him: "What do you think about me going to college in Jing City?"

Zhou Chenglei said directly: "I support you wherever you want to go to college, I have no objection."

Everyone has their own pursuits, especially when they are young.

In the past, he had been full of passion and rushed to the battlefield despite his parents' opposition.

He himself had been young, frivolous, selfish, had pursued and achieved his dreams, so naturally he would not stop her.

Jiang Xia: "Then I will really take the entrance exam to Tsinghua University next year. If I pass, you won't regret it then, right?"

"No." Zhou Chenglei hugged her tightly, stared into her eyes, and promised solemnly: "Jiang Xia, me and our marriage will not be an obstacle to you."

She took the college entrance examination three times and never gave up. She must have a dream.

She is talented and learns things quickly. She is so smart, beautiful, confident and radiant. Marrying him should not bury her radiance.

Even though she was radiant, he would always be with her.

Zhou Chenglei added: "I am nine years older than you. I have already done everything I want to do. Whatever you want to do in the future, go ahead and do it. I can accompany you."

Their marriage had many problems from the beginning, but as early as the night he decided not to let go, he had thought about all the problems, including her wanting to go to college, the job she wanted, whether they wanted children, the issue of her parents' objection, possible long-distance issues, etc.

He is nine years older than her, and his youthful pursuits have been realized, but he can try his best to accompany her to live the life she wants for the rest of his life, as long as they don't get divorced.

Jiang Xia looked back at him, into his extremely serious and determined eyes, which were as deep as a pool and seemed to be able to accommodate everything.

Her heart moved, and she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to kiss him. Zhou Chenglei's body tensed for a moment, then he held her waist tightly and responded quickly.
