Chen Meiyu touched her chest and took a long time to come back to her senses. "I told you, this skirt is definitely beautiful." She didn't dare to speak louder, as if it would scare the person in front of her.
The two men nodded dumbly, expressing their complete agreement with her words.
Chen Meiyu became interested and went next door to call her aunt over, and asked her daughter to try on the remaining clothes.
Xu Manman didn't want to spoil her mother's fun, so she just treated it as a way to entertain her mother, as long as her mother was happy.
The next hour or so turned into Xu Manman's fashion show. Mom and aunt expressed their opinions from time to time, while dad, brother, uncle and two cousins who came over after hearing the noise, just applauded and cheered. They had no opinions on the aesthetics, but the emotional value was maximized.
After trying on all the clothes, Xu Manman had almost digested the food she had eaten. Ms. Chen and Ms. Ye Rong were still holding the clothes that Xu Manman had changed out of, discussing whether this one should have a tighter waist and that one should be longer.
The crowd didn't disperse until 12 o'clock.
When I woke up the next day, it was already past eight in the morning and my parents had already gone to work.
There was no one in the living room, so Xu Manman went to the bathroom to wash up first. When she entered the kitchen, she saw porridge and buns warming in the pot.
After she finished her breakfast, she went to the door opposite and knocked.
It was Xu Jianguo who opened the door. "Sister! You're awake. I've warmed up your breakfast in the pot. I'll go make it for you."
"I saw it." Xu Manman looked over and saw that both cousins were at home. "What are you doing?"
Chen Ming put down his pen and stretched. "Jianguo is good at his studies, and his English is much better than Chen Feng's."
Next to him, his second cousin Chen Feng bit his pen and looked at the notebook in front of him with a grimace. "It's natural that Jianguo is good at English. Our uncle can actually communicate directly with foreign engineers."
"You studied with your uncle when you were little, and everyone studied English in the first semester. How can you face people with your current level?"
Chen Feng was hit by his elder brother and rubbed his head while crying out in pain. "Shh... I'm your brother, dear, can you be a little gentler? What's wrong with my level? I'm already better than most people in the class. Besides, I don't have to get a degree in English like you guys. Just passing is enough."
Seeing that the eldest cousin still wanted to hit his brother, Xu Manman stepped forward and held the eldest cousin's hand, and said to the second cousin,
"Second cousin, although you don't need a degree, you're majoring in mechanical engineering. Think about it, the most advanced technologies in this field are mostly in English-speaking countries. You only know Chinese now, so learning the basics is enough.
But if you learn English well, you can directly understand foreign literature, or like my dad, directly communicate with foreign engineers, wouldn't you have an advantage in learning and progressing? "
Chen Feng actually knew this truth, but facing this big brother who saw that his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and who only knew how to solve problems with violence, he couldn't help but contradict him.
Xu Manman looked at the books piled on the table and asked, "Are you guys planning to study at home all day today?"
There's no need to be so confused. I finally finished the exam.
At this time, she had completely forgotten that she had asked her cousin to learn English the day after the exam. If this were the case, she would be the one to win the title of top scorer.
Xu Jianguo replied to her, "My uncle and his family will come over for dinner tonight."
Xu Manman was just thinking that since so many people were eating, they had to go to the market to buy vegetables. She just looked in the kitchen, but there were not many ingredients left.
Xu Jianguo continued, "My third and fourth cousins will buy today's dishes and bring them over."
Well, this saves trouble.
Speak of the devil, the devil appears. Just as Xu Jianguo finished speaking, someone outside the door heard, "Jianguo, Manman, open the door quickly."
"Knock, knock."
"You're not still sleeping, are you?"
Xu Jianguo went forward to open the door, and his third cousin Xu Jianmin and fourth cousin Xu Jianan were knocking on their door.
"Third cousin, fourth cousin, you are here." Xu Jianguo took the key and went forward to open his door. He had closed the door when Xu Manman came over just now.
Fourth cousin Xu Jianan saw a few people in the room and said, "Hey, you guys are here. I thought it was time to get up."
Xu Manman also walked over and saw the two men carrying large and small bags in their hands and sacks on their backs. "Have you brought all the vegetable market stalls here?"
"Well... that's about right. But these are all our food supplies. We carried them together today. There are some more down there, Mingzi and Fengzi. Let's go down together later." The third cousin put down the sack on his shoulder.
