Erwa is really funny. He wasn't nervous during the college entrance exam, and he was even more carefree after the exam. Now that his results are out and he's doing quite well, he's suddenly getting nervous.
"I hope I won't fail to get into the school I applied to."
What if I don't pass the exam?
Just thinking about not receiving an acceptance letter makes Erwa feel like the future is bleak.
He finally escaped his misery, does he really have to go back to the hardships of high school?
At first, Zhao Qinglan and the others offered a few words of comfort, but after Erwa nagged them so much, they all became too lazy to say anything.
The results will be available in a few days, and once they are, Erwa's worries will be gone.
Perhaps because she was too worried, now besides nagging, Erwa's biggest concern every day is whether the postman has arrived.
Even the delicious food cooked at home no longer holds much appeal for him.
As Erwa eagerly awaited his arrival, he finally saw the postman in his work uniform riding his bicycle.
"Do you have any of our things?" Erwa rushed forward and asked.
"have."
When the postman brought out the acceptance letter, Erwa was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Mom, I passed the exam. I don't need to repeat a year."
Everyone came out of the house.
Erwa waved his acceptance letter with great joy.
Seeing his happy expression, Zhao Qinglan smiled. "Mom said it before, there won't be any problems."
After the initial excitement, Erwa made a surprising request.
"Mom, can I skip the graduation celebration?"
"Why?" Zhao Qinglan didn't say whether it was okay or not, she was just curious about her son's thoughts.
To be honest, when I attended my older brother and sister's graduation banquets before, I was very excited. I even started to worry about what I should say in the future because of what my older brother and sister said.
But once he received the acceptance letter, he suddenly didn't want to hold a celebration for his graduation.
He felt that going through all that trouble just to get into university wasn't worth it. With the money he'd spend on a graduation banquet, he could have eaten as much good food on his own. And most importantly, he suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore.
"Mom, if we don't have a graduation banquet, could you give me a portion of the money for the banquet to buy some food? Just a little bit will do."
Erwa was a little embarrassed when he made this request.
Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "As a reward for getting into university, Mom can give you a big red envelope, but you don't need to worry about the cost of the graduation banquet."
If it's about money, then it's not a problem at all. After all, the eldest and youngest children have already had their graduation banquets. If we don't hold one for the second child, it would seem like we don't value the second child.
The second child's school is already slightly worse than the eldest child's school. If people think that the school wasn't opened because the second child didn't do as well as his older siblings, that would be even more ridiculous.
"Mom, I really don't want to celebrate. I don't care. With that money, you could buy me some nice food. I don't want to express my feelings. If we want to celebrate, our family can just have a meal together."
Seeing that Erwa genuinely didn't want to do it, Zhao Qinglan naturally wouldn't force her son.
"Okay, if we don't want to do it, then we don't want to do it."
If others have wild ideas, so be it; she doesn't particularly care about what others think.
Erwa was happy to see that his mother had listened to his opinion.
The family knew that Erwa didn't want to hold a graduation banquet, but they didn't express any opinion.
Li Huai had originally planned to attend his eldest son's and daughter's college entrance celebrations, so he felt it wouldn't be right not to go to his second son's. He figured he had to make time to go back no matter what. But then his wife called to say that their second son didn't want to have a celebration, which surprised him greatly.
After asking further questions, I was relieved to find out that there was nothing to worry about.
"If you don't want to hold it, then don't. The whole point of holding it was to make the child happy."
"That's what I think too."
Although Erwa didn't hold a graduation banquet, Zhao Qinglan and the others still had a big meal at home, just like celebrating the New Year.
As for the other elders, even though there was no graduation banquet, they all sent Erwa graduation gifts or red envelopes with money as a reward and congratulations.
Erwa is already the third college student in their family. Even though the school he attended was slightly less prestigious than his older siblings', it was still a top-tier university in China.
Outsiders only think that the feng shui of Li Huai's ancestral graves is absolutely excellent.
I don't know how Li Zhenhua found out that Erwa had been admitted to university, but he sent his best wishes to his grandson.
However, by the time the money arrived, Zhao Qinglan had already returned to Guangzhou with the children.
Now all three of the family's eldest children have been admitted to university, and the youngest child has transferred to a school in Guangzhou. Since there are no more children in the provincial capital who need to go to school, they went back home early.
When the children start university, they can simply take a bus from Guangzhou.
The news that Zhao Qinglan and the others had returned, and that Erwa had successfully passed the university entrance exam, spread throughout the military region.
Families with children were incredibly envious, and many came to Zhao Qinglan to ask for advice on raising and educating their children.
Zhao Qinglan's mother called to say that the family had received money from Li Zhenhua, specifically addressed to Erwa. Zhao Qinglan was silent for a moment, then told her mother to keep the money safe, and she gave the same amount to Erwa herself.
She didn't hide anything about the second child, and said directly that it was a red envelope given to her by her grandfather Li Zhenhua, who lived in Beijing.
Erwa was hesitant to accept the money at first, but Dawa mentioned that he had also received money from his grandfather when he was in the capital, and only then did Erwa accept it.
Because Erwa was admitted to a university in Haishi, Dawa consulted his good friend Cheng Tao about many things.
Erwa is going to university in Haishi, so Dawa and Xiaoduo won't be able to go with him. Fortunately, Zhao Qinglan has time this time and will personally take her son to school before the start of the semester.
Lanxin now owns many businesses in Haishi, so she's not worried that her son will be completely helpless in Haishi.
She went there personally, not only to drop off her son, but also to give some instructions to the person in charge there in person.
Besides these, she also plans to stay in Haishi for a few days to look at some houses, especially around Erwa's school. If there's a suitable one, she'll buy one for Erwa. As for whether to live there or not, that's up to the child's own preference.
The older sister has her own little apartment near the school, and the younger sister knows this and is envious. Now that she knows she can have one too, she's incredibly excited.
If it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't be able to return home for several months, he would have been reluctant to leave and would have urged his mother to set off immediately.
Zhu Kexin had been following her eldest son's college entrance exam progress, and her younger son wasn't completely indifferent either.
As she grew older and could no longer have children, she missed her two biological children even more.
Having been warned by Li Huai before, she dared not show her face at the military region. Now, when she tried to find out about her youngest son, she learned that Li Huai had already been transferred and Zhao Qinglan and the others had moved away.
If Zhao Qinglan and the others were still in the provincial capital, she might have wanted to find an opportunity to see Erwa and express her maternal love. But since they were far away in Guangzhou, she didn't have the courage to come after them.
Fortunately, she didn't come, otherwise Zhao Qinglan's family would have had even more trouble.
