When Qian Sheng returned home, he saw that dinner was ready, but only his eldest daughter was home. He looked around and asked, "Where is your third brother?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Third Brother has gone back to the county. Secretary Lu has been quite busy lately, so he might stay in the county for a few days."
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "It's certain that Secretary Lu is busy. It's only right that he works a little harder alongside Secretary Lu!"
He then looked at Qian Duoduo and asked, "You made your sister-in-law Qian Xiang the team leader, so what about you?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home and count my money?"
Qian Sheng was taken aback and said, "What do you mean? Now that you have something to do, it'll be easier to find a partner in the future!"
Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Sheng with a "So this is what kind of dad you are" look, which made him glare at her and stubbornly say, "You're a 16 or 17-year-old girl now. When you're an adult, you can start dating. I didn't say anything wrong!"
Qian Duoduo put a piece of meat into Qian Sheng's bowl and asked, "Dad, are you willing to let me get married?"
Qian Sheng looked at the meat in the bowl, thinking about Qian Duoduo's words. Finally, he sighed, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Hmm, it's quite delicious. It has her mother's true skills. Speaking of her mother, he really missed her a little!
Qian Duoduo had no idea that her father's thoughts had spread to her mother. She was still stubbornly waiting for an answer. Seeing her father just eating meat with his head down, she felt a little upset.
"Dad, you don't care about me anymore!"
Qian Sheng was still thinking about his wife when he heard the old maid's choked accusation. When he came to his senses and saw Qian Duoduo's aggrieved look, he immediately felt sorry for her!
He immediately said, "Oh, why are you pouting?"
Qian Duoduo snorted, put down her chopsticks, and remained silent. Her big, wet eyes looked at Qian Sheng, making him feel incredibly soft-hearted!
Qian Sheng immediately pushed the cucumber salad that the old maid liked forward and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Are you still angry? Dad didn't do anything to you."
Qian Duoduo's aggrieved voice came through: "Dad, you don't care about me anymore!"
Qian Sheng immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of all the children in our family, isn't your father the one who loves you the most? Your fourth brother is always jumping up and down, feeling resentful. Don't you know that?"
Qian Duoduo felt a little better when she thought of her fourth brother, who had been away from home for a long time.
She asked, "Then why didn't you say anything when I just asked you, since you so wanted me to get married?"
Qian Sheng was taken aback: "Did you just ask me that?"
Qian Duoduo nodded with a hint of stubbornness on her face, as if she wanted to know the answer, which put Qian Sheng under a lot of pressure!
He coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "My dear daughter, of course your father doesn't want you to get married."
Qian Duoduo's eyes darted around. Remembering how she had seen many fathers crying their eyes out when their daughters got married on short video platforms before she transmigrated into the book, she asked, "Dad, if I get married, will you cry?"
Qian Sheng had just put the meat in his mouth and hadn't even chewed it twice when he heard such a shocking topic. Suddenly, the meat he was enjoying didn't seem so delicious anymore.
He put down his chopsticks, looked at the remaining meat, and said to Qian Duoduo, "Do you have to say things like that while we're eating?"
Qian Duoduo chuckled and said, "Let's eat, let's eat!"
Qian Sheng glared at her, picked up his chopsticks again, and said, "If you don't want to work at the tofu shop, then what do you want to do?"
Qian Duoduo took a bite of cucumber, which was quite refreshing. He slowly swallowed the cucumber and said, "Secretary Lu once talked to my third brother and said that based on the national situation, a large number of talents are needed, so in the next few years, the country is very likely to resume the college entrance examination."
I want to learn more from Sister Niaoniao and the others. If they take the college entrance exam and return to the city, I won't have such good teachers anymore.
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Qian Sheng asked nervously, "Old lady, is this true?"
Qian Duoduo tilted her head and said, "I don't know. Whether this is true or false, let's err on the side of caution and believe it's true."
"Dad, I think you should start preparing yourself mentally as soon as possible."
Qian Sheng nodded. He knew his own children well. His third son and Duo Duo were not the type to talk nonsense. If this matter was baseless, they certainly wouldn't have said it.
Since such news has emerged, the likelihood is extremely high.
He thought about it and realized that this matter was not urgent, so he simply said, "Then let's eat first. After we finish eating, you can pack up your textbooks and study hard with Feng Zhiqing and the others during this time."
Qian Duoduo nodded as she ate her food. "My mom's not home, but I can use all the ingredients from my own space to cook this. The taste is amazing! This cucumber, for example, is so crisp and delicious!"
With her father's backing, Qian Duoduo rarely appeared at the tofu shop anymore. The only places she could be seen were at home at night when she was sleeping. The rest of the time, she was in Feng Niaoniao's courtyard.
Feng Niaoniao looked at Qian Duoduo, who was still diligently studying and flipping through her textbooks, and admired the girl's perseverance.
She walked over and asked, "Duoduo, if you get into university, which university would you like to attend?"
Qian Duoduo said in surprise, "Me? I don't know. Everyone says that Peking University and Tsinghua University are very good, but with my grades, I never dared to dream of such a place."
Ideally, it would be a place close to home, so my parents can easily walk there when they miss me.
Feng Niaoniao thought of the provincial capital she passed through every time she went home, a city with an exotic atmosphere, and asked, "Are you going to the provincial capital?"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "This is also within my consideration, but I don't know if I will be able to pass the exam."
