Then, he said confidently, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your compliment. I will definitely continue to work hard in the future!"
Wang Xiaolan continued, "You have this talent, so make the most of it! In the future, apply to a sports college and become an outstanding athlete. This will not only help you realize your dream, but also bring glory to your country. Imagine standing on the international stage, representing our country. What an honor it will be!"
Xia Wei listened to his sister-in-law's words, feeling a surge of excitement. He nodded vigorously, vowing to pursue his dream. He knew this wasn't just a personal honor, but also a responsibility to his family and his country.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I will train hard and constantly improve my strength. I must become an outstanding athlete and bring glory to you and the country!" Xia Wei replied firmly.
Wang Xiaolan smiled with relief. She knew that her brother-in-law had a firm belief and an indomitable spirit. She believed that as long as he worked hard, he would achieve brilliant success in the future.
She turned her head and looked at Lai Di, saying, "Laidi, you will be taking the college entrance examination next year. What kind of school do you want to apply to? Do you have any plans in this regard? Tell me about it."
Lai Di thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, since you have set up a factory and need financial personnel, I will apply to the College of Finance and Economics to study accounting."
Wang Xiaolan said happily: "That's a good idea."
Zhaodi interrupted, "Sister-in-law, I've made up my mind too. I'm going to apply for the business management major and help you manage your business."
After hearing the wishes of her two sisters-in-law, Wang Xiaolan felt deeply moved and relieved. She knew that the two sisters-in-law respected and cared about her, and she also understood that they hoped to contribute to the family business.
However, as a sister-in-law, she is more concerned about the future development of her sisters-in-law. She does not want them to give up their interests and hobbies or even sacrifice their career plans because of family reasons.
Therefore, she said in a gentle tone: "Don't choose a major for your sister-in-law. You must choose what you are interested in, so that you can learn well." She hopes to convey an important message to her sisters-in-law through this sentence - personal interests are crucial to learning and growth.
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other, and then said in unison: "This is indeed something we are interested in! We are not deliberately pursuing anything, it is just purely out of our inner preferences and enthusiasm." Their tone was firm and sincere, and they seemed to be full of confidence in their choice.
Wang Xiaolan smiled at the two sisters-in-law's statement and said, "In this case, sister-in-law naturally welcomes you to work in my company."
As they were talking, they arrived at the State-owned Hotel.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought the menu.
Wang Xiaolan said to Yu Wenlin, "Mom, which dish do you like?"
Yu Wenlin said evasively, "Whatever, I'm not picky. You can let your brothers and sisters order!"
Xia Weiwei and the others quickly declined, saying, "Sister-in-law, you order! We don't care, just order for us!"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to order, Wang Xiaolan thought, "That won't do!" Since they were eating here, they had to eat well. So she specifically ordered a plate of braised pork, pickled fish head, vermicelli meatball soup, and braised prawns. These were all big dishes that would surely please everyone. Finally, she added a side dish to make the meal even more perfect. After the waiter took the menus, he went into the kitchen to start preparing. While waiting for the food to be served, they chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Lai Di and Zhao Di rushed to tell Wang Xiaolan about the interesting and unpleasant things that happened at school.
Wang Xiaolan listened to them very carefully and asked a few questions from time to time.
Then, Zhaodi talked about a female roommate who often bullied them at first and forced Laidi to wash her smelly socks.
"I kept thinking, 'She always bullies us like this. When will this end?' It's unbearable to be bullied so badly by her every day. So I decided to take action to let her know how powerful I am."
"At night, while she was soundly asleep, I quietly climbed onto her bed. Then, I covered her mouth and beat her up. Her screams alarmed the entire dormitory. No one in the dormitory dared to come out to stop the fight."
"I warned her that all this was because she bullied others first. If she dared to complain to the teacher, I would tell her everything about her bullying. In the end, she chose to remain silent and did not report me to the dormitory manager or the teacher."
Zhaodi took a sip of water and said, "Since then, she no longer dared to bully us. Instead, she began to do everything she could to please us and try to ease the relationship between us."
After listening to what they said, Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "You should avoid causing trouble, but don't be afraid of it either. When encountering problems, handle them calmly and don't act impulsively. If someone bullies you, you must bravely defend yourself. Of course, it is best to resolve problems peacefully to avoid escalating conflicts. However, if the other party is really excessive, appropriate counterattacks are necessary. In short, stay confident and strong, and don't let others bully you easily."
After hearing this, several people nodded, indicating that they understood what Wang Xiaolan meant.
Just when they were talking excitedly, suddenly, the door of the restaurant was pushed open and more than a dozen men walked in.
Liu San walked in front, his face brimming with excitement and joy. He waved enthusiastically to the people behind him and led them to the largest round table in the center of the restaurant. These men were wearing blue khaki Mao suits, which were very fashionable in that era and stood in stark contrast to the diners.
They chatted with one another, laughter and shouts echoing, as if the entire restaurant was infected by their energy. When they reached the round table, Liu San, even more proudly, directed everyone to take their seats, ensuring that everyone found a comfortable place. The whole scene was lively and filled with laughter.
Their arrival attracted surprised glances from the people dining there.
Wang Xiaolan was talking to Lai Di. When she heard a group of people chatting and laughing, she looked up at that table curiously.
After asking the guests to sit down, Liu San turned around and looked towards the table by the window. Their eyes met, and they both saw each other at the first moment.
Liu San was shocked at first, then he stood up in surprise and shouted.
"Sister, sister." Then he walked towards Wang Xiaolan.
Wang Xiaolan didn't expect to meet Liu San here. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
As she watched Liu San walk towards her, she couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by so quickly! The little scoundrel who used to hang out with a bunch of shady people on the streets had now transformed into a mature, steady, and responsible man.
She couldn't help but sigh, "The ancients said it well, 'A rush growing among hemp will stand straight without support; white sand in the dye will become black with it.'"
