Zhou Qinglan was quite satisfied with these results. After all, she was a teacher, and she couldn't have students who excelled while her own children had poor grades.
When the results came out, everyone was overjoyed, and the family happily packed their bags and prepared to leave.
On July 28th, Sheng Xiping, along with his parents, wife, and children, boarded a train to the capital.
The train has sleeper berths, and for people of Sheng Liancheng and his wife's age, it's more convenient to take a sleeper berth.
They arrived in the capital at noon on the 29th. Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xitai picked them up at the station and then led Sheng Liancheng and the others directly to a restaurant.
"Dad, Mom, this is Lao Liu's girlfriend, Lin Xiangxue. She's a doctor at the People's Hospital now."
In the private room of the restaurant, Wu Yuhua and Lin Xiangxue, who had taken leave in advance, were waiting.
Upon seeing the Sheng family arrive, the two quickly stood up to greet them, and Sheng Xikang took the opportunity to introduce them to his parents.
"Uncle, Aunt, hello." Lin Xiangxue was not shy at all and stepped forward to greet the Sheng family members. "Eldest brother, sister-in-law, hello."
"Yes, yes, all good, all good." Sheng Liancheng and his wife looked at the girl opposite them with smiles on their faces and nodded in response.
"Dad, Mom, you must be tired from your journey. Please sit down."
I figured it would be a bit slow to order when you get here, so I ordered everything in advance. Mom and Dad can take a look and see what else you like to eat, then we'll order a few more.
Wu Yuhua came forward, helped Zhang Shuzhen sit down, and handed the menu to Sheng Liancheng.
Sheng Liancheng hadn't come to the capital for food, so he didn't care about such things. He waved his hand and invited everyone to sit down.
Sheng Xinhua and the others greeted Wu Yuhua and Lin Xiangxue, and then sat down next to their parents.
The restaurant staff started serving the dishes, and the family chatted while eating.
Zhang Shuzhen sat next to Lin Xiangxue, chatting with her while eating and inquiring about the Lin family.
The Lin family lives in Daxing. Lin Xiangxue's father works at the supply and marketing cooperative and will retire soon. Her mother runs a small business and does not have a formal job.
Lin Xiangxue has two older brothers and one younger brother; she is the only girl in her family.
Both older brothers are currently employed and married, while the younger brother is still in university. Overall, the Lin family is relatively well-off.
After the meal, Zhang Shuzhen felt a connection to Lin Xiangxue.
I'm quite satisfied.
The girl was good-looking, spoke eloquently and politely, had a very good attitude towards people, and was also a graduate of medical school.
Being a doctor is definitely a plus in the eyes of the older generation.
So, after the meal, Zhang Shuzhen took a box out of her bag and handed it to Lin Xiangxue.
"Xiangxue, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gift. This is something I prepared for Xitai a long time ago. Please take it."
Lin Xiangxue never expected that she would receive something so soon after meeting him, and she quickly tried to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qinglan and Wu Yuhua persuaded him to give up.
Wu Yuhua whispered a few words in Lin Xiangxue's ear, and Lin Xiangxue blushed and opened the box. Inside was indeed a watch.
Zhang Shuzhen was still behaving in the same old way; when she met her son's girlfriend for the first time, the gift she prepared was a watch.
Of course, with the development of the times, the brand of the watch is different. The one Lin Xiangxue is holding is an Omega, which is much more expensive than the Shanghai watch of the past.
"This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Our son, Xitai, is the youngest in the family. His older brothers and sisters dote on him, and sometimes he acts like a child.
From now on, you two should get along well. If he does anything wrong, just tell me, and I'll deal with him.
Zhang Shuzhen held Lin Xiangxue's hand and casually put the watch on Lin Xiangxue's wrist.
"No, Hitai is very good to me, he takes special care of me."
Lin Xiangxue looked embarrassed and glanced up at Sheng Xitai, only to meet his gentle gaze, which made her blush again.
Seeing the young couple's behavior, Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed. Her youngest son was finally finding a suitable match.
After paying the bill, Sheng Xikang and his family left the restaurant and headed straight for Sheng Xiping's house.
Sheng Xiping had lived here before, but he hadn't bought many things for his family. Now that the whole family has come, they don't have enough bedding and other supplies.
So when they learned that Sheng Liancheng and his group were coming, Wu Yuhua and Sheng Xikang took some time to come over and tidy up, and even bought a lot of things for them.
Putting everything else aside, fans are a must, otherwise the summers in the capital are too hot, and Sheng Liancheng and his men simply cannot stand it.
There are people who clean here. Wu Yuhua and Lin Xiangxue even came over a couple of days ago to do a thorough cleaning, so everything is quite clean.
When they were looking at the house, Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xikang came together, but Sheng Liancheng and his wife did not come.
When they bought the house later, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were in their hometown and were not present.
Therefore, this is the first time that Sheng Liancheng and his wife have bought a house in the capital for their eldest son.
The large courtyard house has three courtyards, with five main rooms and two side rooms, left and right wing rooms, a rear room, and a back room, totaling about thirty rooms.
After buying the house, Sheng Xiping spent a lot of money renovating it, and now it looks brand new everywhere.
There are several pomegranate and crabapple trees in the yard. The pomegranate tree is so old that it is covered with a lot of fruit, and the crabapple tree also has a lot of fruit.
It's a pity that the fruit isn't ripe yet, so we can't eat it.
There are two small flower beds in the yard, planted with peonies, herbaceous peonies and other flowers.
Several lotus pots were placed in the courtyard. The lotus flowers in the pots had already bloomed, and goldfish of various colors swam around under the round leaves.
