Chapter 220: The Children Grow Up
Mao Jianwen's position cannot be further promoted, and his elders have reached retirement age.
A new leader came to power, but he treated Mao Jianwen like an elder.
The elder's health has deteriorated recently, but he has many capable people around him so he can be taken care of slowly.
It is only a matter of time before he retires, he is very open about it.
As soon as he retired, he became restless and moved into a nursing home.
The people living here are all of similar status to the elders, and they all moved in after retirement.
Those who can come in are extraordinary; not everyone can come in.
The arrival of the elders made everyone nervous for a while, but after a while, they relaxed.
Just now, an old man lost a game of chess to an elder and immediately started to cheat.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't dare to do that.
Now.
"I don't care. I took the wrong path. I want to start over."
Don't get too used to this kind of thing.
Mr. Li and Mr. Wang are qualified to come in, but they have better places to go and they come to see their old friends from time to time.
It is natural to run into elders.
When the elder learned how comfortable they were living in the Mao family, he immediately became jealous.
But he knew that he couldn't go to the Mao family with his status, so even if he wanted to enjoy himself, it would be impossible.
If he is not comfortable, then no one else can be comfortable either.
They all say old child, old child, and they are really right.
When this group of old men get together, no one is willing to give in to the other.
Mao's father had come with them a few times, but he was not a man of such status and was unable to control their aura.
After that I didn’t want to come anymore.
It would be better to play chess in the courtyard. If you regret your move here, you will just have a quarrel at most, but here, people will fight with each other.
I can’t handle it.
He cannot take responsibility whether he hurts or touches others.
After seeing that he was unhappy, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang came less often except to see old friends.
Mao Jianwen always comes, and he comes just to see the elders.
The new leader was very nice to him, but he had a deep bond with his elders that could not be replaced by a few words.
The children are grown up and facing the first general election in their lives.
That is the college entrance examination.
An Qianqian did not influence their choices. The results were their own and they had a clear understanding of themselves.
Just like now.
Pingping is not as smart as the other brothers, but his fighting ability is the highest among the four.
So he chose to go to military school.
An An was a little conflicted. He was afraid that he would not be able to get into the school he dreamed of, but he didn't want to give up.
I don’t want to fill in the second choice.
Recently, he has been asking Tuantuan to help him with his studies, and Tuantuan's grades are much better than his.
With his younger brother tutoring him, An An has made some progress, but he is very lacking in confidence.
At this time, the mother has to step out and give him confidence.
As for Yuanyuan, influenced by Wang Xiaoyu and Han Meng, she fell in love with beautiful clothes. She didn't have high demands and she wanted to go to the best fashion design college.
People who study fashion design still need to see more interfaces. Yuanyuan in China has basically visited most of them, and now it’s time for her to go out and see the world.
Since their daughter wants to learn, of course they have to satisfy her. If conditions permit, parents are willing to give the best to their children.
Yuanyuan's identity was a bit problematic, so Mao Jianwen found a way to help her get a pseudonym, which of course did not violate the law.
While he was busy with this matter, An Qianqian stayed at home to help the children prepare their travel gifts.
After several trips, the matter was finally settled and Yuanyuan's visa was issued.
As parents, we can only wait for her to return after completing her studies.
As for Lele, her first choice was to join the army, and not as an arts soldier, which shows how big her ambition is.
But this made Anping and her husband very worried, but fortunately she was a strong-willed person, and no matter how much her parents disagreed, she finally got into the school of her choice.
As for Xiaohao, he chose the path of business. He said that if he didn't take over such a big business in the family, he would not know if he was cheated in the future.
He knew it was a joke, but his real intention was to help his parents share some of the burden.
As the college entrance examination gets closer, the house becomes quieter and quieter.
Xiaohao and Lele are older than the other four. They took the college entrance examination two years ago.
Now they all live in the school.
Knowing that their younger brothers and sisters were taking the college entrance examination, they had already made preparations and planned to take leave and come back to accompany them when the day came.
This is a sibling relationship, and the adults didn't interfere.
"Come, eat something before you read." An Qianqian helps the children prepare food and drinks every day, hoping that they will have a good body for the college entrance examination.
Not only should you eat well every day, you should also exercise.
Of course, the training was handed over to my father.
Seeing their mother come in, the four of them put down the books in their hands.
"Mom." The four of them have grown up and are taller than An Qianqian when they stand up.
"Be good, come and eat. It's not a staple food, but a soup. After drinking it, you can read a book and then go to bed. There is no need to rush for a few hours." There is only half a month left before the college entrance examination, and she understands the children's psychology.
“It’s best to combine work and rest.”
Each person was given a bowl of soup. In recent years, her dietary supplements have become more and more sophisticated.
Health-preserving soup should not be too delicious.
Just like Li Yulan said, if you open a store, you will probably make a fortune every day.
"Thank you, Mom." The four of them looked at the time. It was indeed getting late. After drinking the soup and taking a walk, it was time to go to bed.
"You are welcome."
Because the children had to stay for the exam, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang went to a nursing home as they did not want to disturb the children.
Even Mao's father, who was his grandfather, returned to Chihui Village.
Call home every day to ask how the kids are doing.
Liu Ying and Mao Jianxing sent fresh food to the home every day, hoping that the children would have good health.
It was the same with Xiaohao and the others at the beginning.
The whole family is busy taking care of the children. Fortunately, such days do not last long, otherwise no one can bear it.
An Qianqian has lost a lot of hair recently because she doesn't want to burden the children. While she prepares food for them to nourish their bodies, she also has to pay attention to their mental activities.
Fortunately, several people were able to withstand the test of life.
When the college entrance examination came, the four of them walked confidently into their examination rooms.
The four were not assigned to the same examination area, so Mao Jianwen also took a leave of absence to pick up and drop off the children at home.
It lasted for three days in total. During these three days, no one dared to breathe heavily, for fear of affecting them.
Finally, they got through these three days, and An Qianqian took a holiday with the children.
There is no need to get up early in the morning to prepare meals for them, nor do you have to worry about checking the things they will need for the exam.
It was a rare occasion to see his wife staying in bed, so Mao Jianwen felt sorry for her, so he got up quietly and prepared breakfast for his family.
We felt relieved after the exam. Not only the children felt relieved, but the adults also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You got up so early, where's Qianqian?" Li Yulan looked over and said when she saw her son coming out.
Mao Jianwen pointed to the room and said, "She has been very busy these days. Today she finally doesn't have to get up early. Let her sleep in a little longer."
