The Xie family had breakfast at around six in the morning.
Xie Changrong asked his wife: "Take Yingying to ask your cousin, what's going on?"
Sun Rongfang thought back to what happened last night and was not willing to answer at all.
Seeing his wife's expression, Xie Changrong seemed to have expected this and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier? You should count on our son instead of Yingying to be a doctor."
Zhou Ruomei and Ding Yuhai really said that last night, saying that the chances of a woman becoming a surgeon are almost zero. Surgeons sound cool, but ordinary people think that internists are just that.
Sun Rongfang picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat." As she said that, she put another egg into the bowl of her son who was in elementary school next to her.
Xie Wanying had long been accustomed to the scene before her. That year, her mother insisted on having another son despite her advanced age, even if she was fined and fired from her job.
The Xie family cannot be without grandchildren, male heirs, and family lineage. This is the attitude of her father and the entire Xie family, and her mother can only follow her husband's lead.
Xie Wanying had received a lot of awards in school since she was a child, but in the end, all she got was her father praising her and saying, "It's a pity that you are a girl, you have no future."
...
...
The problem is that a bunch of people around her, whether it's her parents' colleagues or relatives and friends, all say: "Raising a daughter is not as good as raising a son."
Even my intellectual aunt and uncle-in-law believed that "women cannot hold a scalpel, only men have a chance."
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang. Xie Changrong stood up to answer it and said to his wife, "It's my dad calling, it should be."
Grandpa Xie said to his son across the street: "I have asked around. Let Yingying apply to a teachers' college. It's best for women to be teachers."
Hearing this, Xie Changrong was even happier and said to his wishful daughter-in-law and daughter: "Look, my dad said the same thing."
Sun Rongfang threw down her chopsticks, was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore, and went to the balcony to hang clothes.
Perhaps, her mother once thought about getting rid of all these constraints, but she had no ability and could only rely on her daughter. She bought a bag of Sunkist oranges for 100 yuan, but her educated cousin also looked down on women.
After stuffing the bun into her mouth, Xie Wanying picked up her schoolbag, walked to the door of her house, pushed open her bicycle, got on it and left.
The college entrance examination was approaching. It was hot in late June and early July. The sun was already very hot early in the morning. Students rode their bicycles to school under the scorching sun, and the streets were crowded. The Jinqiao High School where Xie Wanying studied ranked first in the entire city of Songyuan.
It was because her daughter was studying in such a good school that Sun Rongfang had a little dream for her daughter's future. But Zhou Ruomei's words last night revealed a cruel fact: there is always someone better.
Songyuan City is not the provincial capital, but a second-rate city in the province. If the top 100 students are compared with the whole province, their scores will definitely be reduced to thousands of places. The college entrance examination is not just compared with students in the city, but with students across the country.
Even so, what Zhou Ruomei said last night was definitely too much and was intended to attack her cousin and her daughter.
The results of mock exams cannot represent the college entrance exam results. Many candidates do well in mock exams but perform terribly in the college entrance exams, while some do averagely in mock exams but suddenly soar like a rocket in the college entrance exams.
Xie Wanying recalled her past life. At that time, she was really frightened by her cousin's words, so when she filled out her application form, she dutifully filled in the laboratory technology major of a second-rate medical school.
