Chapter 245 She is adventurous in everything
The next afternoon, Tuanan returned to Zhuang Chaoying.
After the exams, Tuanan did not move back to live with Zhuang Chaoying. Huang Ling felt that there was no need to move since he would be going to college after the summer vacation anyway. Zhuang Chaoying did not ask Tuanan to move back.
Zhuang Chaoying's bed and desk were also covered with various documents.
He was also worried about his two children's college applications.
Seeing Tunan coming, he waved to Tunan to come over:
"Tunan, come here. I haven't been able to sleep these past two days! After much thought, I still think it's better to apply to a school in Shanghai. Look, if it's Jiaotong University or Tongji University, they're both very stable..."
"Dad, haven't we already decided? Mom even went all the way to Beijing to help me with the consultation."
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hand:
"That doesn't count. They can accept you if they say they will, or not if they say they won't. What if you're not accepted? It's too risky. I think you should apply for a popular major at Jiaotong University or Tongji University. With your scores, you can choose any popular major."
Tunan was startled by him and hurriedly explained:
"Dad! I only want to study architecture! So Jiaotong University is definitely out of the question. I didn't ask Tongji University in advance, so I don't know if their architecture department will accept someone like me with color blindness! They've confirmed it. I just finished the exam and Mom called the deputy director of the department. He was very happy when he heard my results."
"but......"
"Dad! If Mom says it's okay, then it must be okay!" Tuanan had no choice but to move Huang Ling out.
"Tunan!" Zhuang Chaoying became anxious, his voice rising. "This is a big deal! A huge deal! If anything goes wrong, what should we do? Stability is the most important thing!"
"Dad, don't worry. Mom won't harm me, right? She knows what she's doing." Tuanan only knew that he should trust his mother.
"What does she know? She takes risks in everything and tries to win in danger! But this is not business, this is not about making money. If business fails, you don't have to do it. If money cannot be earned, you don't have to earn it. This is different!" Zhuang Chaoying's legs were almost broken by clapping.
Tunan paused and did not argue. He knew his father too well, so he said slowly:
"Dad, I understand your concerns. You should know that we didn't apply impulsively. Mom has been planning this for half a year. Over the past two days, Mom and I have analyzed many schools, including Jiaotong University and Tongji University. The results were also based on a comprehensive consideration of my grades. It's a good choice, don't worry."
Zhuang Chaoying looked at his son, still looking worried: "But what if..."
"Dad, actually, there are always risks no matter which school you apply to. Playing it safe will make me feel a little regretful. Even if I'm not admitted, the worst that can happen is that I can study for another year, and I can still improve my score a few points next year." Tuanan said confidently.
Zhuang Chaoying sighed deeply: "You just want to listen to your mother now and not listen to my advice, right?"
Tunan looked at Zhuang Chaoying in surprise:
"Dad, I didn't mean that. I have my own thoughts and judgments..."
"You think she is more capable than me, so you think everything she says is right, right?" Zhuang Chaoying smiled self-deprecatingly.
Hearing Zhuang Chaoying's words, Tuanan suddenly remembered that Huang Ling had talked to him about this matter.
Huang Ling said that the decision of the two would definitely touch a nerve in Zhuang Chaoying.
Although Huang Ling did not mention Zhuang Chaoying's shortcomings in front of Tunan, Tunan could now feel that his father was sensitive and inferior.
Tunan took a deep breath and said to Zhuang Chaoying:
"Dad, believe it or not, I've never thought about it this way. In my opinion, she's just my mother. Whether she's capable or not, she's still my mother, and the same goes for you."
Zhuang Chaoying sighed deeply.
"Dad, has Hongbin chosen a school?" Tuanan tried to change the subject.
"Well, I think it would be safer to let him apply to a local university. His grades are just barely passing, and there are risks in getting into a good school." Zhuang Chaoying replied.
"Oh, I also wrote down an analysis of several universities in Shanghai for him. They are all written here. You can help him take a look at it when the time comes." Tuanan took out a notebook from his schoolbag.
It neatly lists the school, major, advantages and disadvantages, previous years' score lines, and this year's estimates.
Zhuang Chaoying was a little surprised when he saw it.
Given the information conditions at the time, some information could not be easily obtained.
He asked: "Did your mother find these?"
"Well, this is the information my mother found for the child of the deputy director of the Industrial Bureau. When I saw it, his estimated score was not much different from Hongbin's, so I copied it over for Hongbin's reference." Tuanan nodded.
"How did she know about these schools?"
Tuanan shook his head. He didn't know where Huang Ling got this information. He only knew that this was her first time participating in student volunteer applications, so she spent a lot of time and did a lot of work.
"Actually..." Tuanan wanted to say that Hongbin could also apply to a slightly better school and not just play it safe and choose the one with lower scores, but when he thought of how angry Zhuang Chaoying was just now, he didn't say anything more.
"Dad, I'll go back first." Tuanan stood up and said, he mainly came to deliver the information.
"Well, think carefully about what Dad said. Think about it carefully yourself."
"Yeah, okay." Tunan could only agree.
In the next room, Zhu Xiu Yu and her son listened to the conversation in this room and looked at each other in silence.
When Zhu Xiuyu heard Tu Nan leave, she went to meet him:
"Thank you, Tunan!"
"Auntie, it's okay, this shouldn't happen!" Tuanan smiled.
"It's almost time for dinner, I'm cooking! Please eat first and then go back!" Zhu Xiu Yu tried to persuade her to stay.
"Auntie, I'll come back in two days to eat. I made an appointment with Xie Zheyu to have dinner at his house today, and his parents insisted on treating me." Tuanan explained.
"Oh, you have an appointment with your classmates! Then go quickly! Be careful when riding your bike." Zhu Xiu Yu hurriedly instructed.
"Okay! Auntie, I bought some peaches and put them on the table. They are crisp and sweet. Remember to wash them before eating."
"Okay, I'll wash one for you first!"
"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm in a hurry. Don't save it. Eat it quickly."
After saying that, Tunan pushed his bicycle and left the alley.
After dinner, Zhu Xiu Yu saw Zhuang Chaoying put aside the small notebook that Tu Nan had given her.
She asked: "Chaoying, have you checked out those schools that Tunan mentioned?"
Zhuang Chaoying said coldly, "Don't worry about it. It's all useless information. I don't know if it's true or not. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a suitable school for Hongbin."
Zhu Xiuyu frowned and wanted to pick up the small notebook, but Zhuang Chaoying snatched it away:
"You don't understand. Don't worry, I'll help Hongbin look at these schools too! I won't just pick them randomly for him."
Zhu Xiuyu nodded.
The next day, before dawn, Zhu Xiu Yu woke Hong Bin up.
"Hongbin, can you accompany your mother to set up the stall today?" she asked.
"Okay!" Hongbin turned over and got out of bed.
He wanted to help after the exam, but Zhu Xiu Yu refused to agree. Today, she took the initiative to ask for it, and Hong Bin was very happy.
