Nowadays, going to university is considered a great honor for the family, not to mention being sponsored by the government. For a while, the office was filled with compliments.
"Oh, your child is really promising. It's really you intellectuals who know how to teach him."
"No, it's the child who is self-aware. From the college entrance examination to college, we didn't have to worry at all." Xu Gang said lightly, but in fact he was already smiling in his heart.
"Mr. Xu, is your youngest son also in college?"
"Well, he studied the same school as his sister did before, both went to Peking University and Tsinghua University. I wonder if this guy can go abroad to study like his sister in the future." The latter part of the statement is a bit Versailles.
This makes everyone in the office so jealous that they don't know where to start. Other people's nephews, sons, and daughters are all college students, and studying abroad sounds easy, but their own children have a hard time graduating from high school. They are so jealous that their parents are really pissed off.
After Xu Manman hung up the phone, she rolled into bed and went back to sleep for a nap. She slept until 9 o'clock.
I had a very sumptuous dinner last night, so I didn’t want to eat too much for breakfast, so I just had a bowl of tofu pudding.
Caleb prepared lunch early because he was afraid that the host would be hungry.
Xu Manman was sitting in the living room doing homework. Listening to Xiao Jin cooking in the kitchen, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
After working in the kitchen for an hour, all the dishes served were delicious: braised pork with preserved vegetables, crispy roast duck, spicy fried chicken wings, dry-pot cauliflower, scrambled eggs with shiitake mushrooms, and the staple food was authentic rice.
Seeing this bright white rice, Xu Manman felt a little emotional. She had watched videos before and saw many foreigners complaining that foreign rice was not tasty. There were also videos of foreigners cooking rice and washing it with water after it was cooked.
Once in the cafeteria, she saw an old lady serving a bowl of rice. She didn't believe it, so she took a spoonful and took a bite. The raw taste almost made her leave.
So after that, every time she saw rice in the cafeteria, she would take a detour, preferring to go back and eat bread rather than try it a second time.
The party was in the evening, so it wasn't too early to go shopping. After lunch, Xu Manman took Xiao Jin to take a nap.
I got up at two o'clock in the afternoon, washed and changed my clothes and prepared to go out, but before going out, I still had a chat with Caleb Jin in the entrance hall.
"If you have something to do, go do it. If you don't, just stay home. You don't have to follow me. I have a bracelet on, so nothing will happen to me."
Seeing its pitiful look, Xu Manman added, "I'll tell you when it's over. Come pick me up then."
I arrived at the dormitory door, met up with Caroline, and walked to the food supermarket together.
Student parties are not that complicated. You just need to prepare some snacks, desserts and drinks, unlike in China where you have to prepare big meals every time.
There aren't actually many ingredients to buy, mostly snacks like potato chips and soft drinks like Coke. After walking around for less than an hour, they'll be at the dormitory.
I returned to the suite I had just moved out of yesterday. The living room had changed a lot. The white walls were covered with ribbons and balloons. At first glance, it really had that old feel.
Joseline saw the two people returning from shopping, "Hey, Molly, Caroline, look at how we did?"
Xu Manman smiled and nodded, "It looks very nice, very beautiful, you have worked hard."
Caroline handed the bag in her hand to Livia, "We bought it according to the list, please check if there is anything wrong."
Seeing the drinks they brought back, Joselin was a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you buy some wine? How can there be no wine at the party?"
Chaya said, "Come on, do you want to be kicked out of the dormitory by the dormitory warden?"
Joselin didn't dare, but still felt a little unsatisfied, pouting and muttering.
Over there, Livia and Kara had already taken out the ingredients and were ready to start working. Chaya also pulled Joselin over and said, "Aren't you going to make apple pie? Hurry up."
So Xu Manman and Caroline took over their previous work, but they had already finished most of it, leaving them with little room for improvement.
After setting up the venue, Xu Manman went to watch them make desserts. She had always eaten desserts made by Xiao Jin or produced by the system, and she had not made them very often herself, so she also wanted to come and learn from their experience.
When she saw Joseline pouring a whole bag of sugar in, she felt her pancreas make a sharp roar.
The chocolate cake made by Chaya used sugar and chocolate by the pound. Xu Manman took a deep breath and turned to watch the Indian Livia making curry.
