This gift list was finalized after Xu Manman, Chen Ming and Hai Shi's aunt discussed it over the phone for a long time.
Looking at everyone’s expressions now, this gift-giving was considered quite successful.
Holding her gift, Zhang's mother looked at Chen Ming with even greater satisfaction, "Auntie is so old now, it would be a waste for her to use cosmetics. Your mother has to work so hard to send them here from far away. It must have cost a lot of money." Although she said so, what woman doesn't like these things?
"My third uncle Manman works in a department store and has internal discounts, so it's cheaper than buying things outside." It's definitely expensive. Just the things he brought to the door today cost him over a hundred yuan. With this money, he can marry a wife in the village. It can be seen that the Chen family is taking this matter very seriously.
The things I brought today cannot be returned no matter how expensive they are. Zhang's mother was secretly thinking that she would have to add some more things to the things she had prepared for the child.
Although Zhang Wenhua and his father had been preparing food in the kitchen early in the morning, it was too early to cook, so the family sat in the living room and chatted with the two guests.
Since we are chatting, it is inevitable that we will talk about our plans after graduation.
Chen Ming knew what his future parents-in-law were worried about, but with two years left before graduation, everything was uncertain and he couldn't make any guarantees.
He also knew that in two years, when Uncle Xu was transferred to Beijing, it would not be difficult for him to let them stay in Beijing given Uncle Xu's status and connections. However, plans can never keep up with changes. Otherwise, if you give people hope and it fails to materialize in the end, all that will be left is despair.
"The major I'm studying now is quite specialized. When the country is in need of technical personnel, I'm more likely to work in a research institute than in a government agency.
Everything is still uncertain, and I can't promise my uncle and aunt that I will be able to stay in Beijing after graduation, but if there is an opportunity, I will definitely try my best to fight for it."
Zhang's father and mother understood very well that they had chosen Chen Ming because of Uncle Xu from the Xu family. Chen Ming and the Xu family were cousins, so the Xu family would not sit idly by if anything really happened. Although Chen Ming said so, the couple believed that it was basically a foregone conclusion that Chen Ming would stay in Beijing in the future.
Xu Manman did not interrupt. In fact, staying in Beijing was not a big deal for Xu Manman. Whether it was his own ability or the connections of the Xu family, it would be easy for him to stay in Beijing.
What Xu Manman is more worried about now is studying abroad. You know, when she encouraged Chen Ming to choose English as his second major, she was laying the groundwork for his future government-sponsored study abroad.
The government-sponsored study abroad program was arranged last year, but resources are limited, the number of places available for study abroad is reduced, and the number of recommended places each time is not large. Therefore, neither last year's nor this year's batch has been admitted to the Economics and Computer Science Department of Peking University or Tsinghua University.
But at the beginning of this year, four people left the Department of Physics. This was the news that Chen Ming brought back to her. The news came from his classmate who was studying both computer science and physics. Because the learning difficulty increased, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the assessment. However, the news from the Department of Physics was that he had lost ground.
Based on the information Xu Manman collected from the system, by the end of this year or early next year, there will definitely be vacancies in the Computer Science Department, not to mention the Economics Department. As for Chen Ming, who has English as his second major, Xu Manman is 80% sure that he will be selected.
In this way, his love life may face certain tests.
Even now, when talking about Chen Ming staying in Beijing, Xu Manman said this at the beginning based on her consideration of Chen Ming's own future, and she had also discussed this matter with Chen Ming frankly.
However, Xu Manman did not tell Chen Ming about the opportunity to study abroad in advance. However, since this was a matter concerning his future, she would not allow anyone to hold him back.
If my cousin goes abroad to study, he will not be able to come back for one or two years at the fastest, or two or three years at the slowest. During this period, the two of them will be separated by thousands of miles. He is naturally very confident in Chen Ming, and he feels that he will not have any inappropriate thoughts about him even though he is in a foreign country.
As for Zhang Wenjun, she may still have three to four years before graduation, so it is impossible for her to get married during this period.
You could say Xu Manman was selfish, but if she could stand the test of time and distance and finally achieve a happy ending, she would naturally bless her wholeheartedly. If she couldn't, she could only say sorry.
To be honest, she had asked her cousin Liu Libang to introduce her to a date, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. After all, Chen Ming's image of avoiding girls had already been deeply rooted in her mind.
