Chapter 1587 Aunt's Competition
As it turns out, Xiao Dou'er is no ordinary girl. When Li Ye arrived at school again on the weekend, he indeed saw Xu Xianpeng's parents, grandparents, and an aunt.
In this way, Li Ye felt that his "four aunts" were not so conspicuous.
Everyone cares about the children, which is why they pay special attention to it and why so many people have come. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
Anyway, this time Teacher Yan held the meeting between the two parties in the classroom, where there was room for many people.
But Li Ye thought there was nothing wrong with it, while the other side thought there was a big problem.
Xu Xianpeng's grandmother said sourly, "Oh, are you afraid that we'll bully you because there are too many of us? It's not easy for four aunts to come all the way from Dongshan to the capital, is it?"
The eldest sister, Li Yue, and her younger sisters were stunned. After learning that Xiao Dou'er had knocked out another child's tooth, although they repeatedly emphasized that the other child had started it, they still had a bit of a "favoritism" mentality, since the other child's injury was more serious.
But now, after hearing the other woman's tone and thinking back to how Xu Xianpeng had broken a classmate's nose a few days ago, the girls suddenly felt that they had done the right thing.
Decades later, a difficult-to-judge statement emerged in society: when you see a child being unreasonable, it is very likely that he is the most reasonable one in his family.
Xu Xianpeng broke someone's nose, and in the end, the person had to hold their nose and make peace with him. It would be strange if this grandmother wasn't involved in the whole thing.
Li Ye's grandmother was no pushover either; in fact, she was even more cunning.
Upon hearing this, Wu Juying replied calmly, "It must not be easy for you to come to the capital from Dongshan, but my child's aunts all work in the capital, and since it's the weekend, they all came to join in the fun. I'm sorry to have troubled you, my dear sister."
"Wow, I really didn't realize that."
Xu Xianpeng's grandmother looked at Li Juan and the others in surprise, only then realizing that these four girls, judging from their appearance, clothing and aura, did not seem like "fellow villagers" who had come all the way from Dongshan just to argue with her.
Therefore, the effect of first impressions is very significant. Wu Juying's strong Dongshan accent caused the old lady of the Xu family to subconsciously regard Li Yue, Li Juan and others as the country people she disliked the most.
Of course, even now, the old lady of the Xu family still thinks that Li Yue and others are country bumpkins.
She suddenly looked at Li Ye and said with a smile, "I heard that this Comrade Li works in a car factory, right? It seems you are quite capable, managing to arrange for several of your sisters to work in Beijing."
Li Ye glanced at the other person but did not reply.
Today, he was comparing himself to Xu Xianpeng's father, who sat there calmly and arrogantly. Why should he argue with an old lady?
Grandma Wu Juying could take care of both of you by herself.
Sure enough, Wu Juying said calmly, "Little sister, you've misunderstood again. The reason my granddaughters stayed in the capital has nothing to do with my eldest grandson."
They were both university students admitted to universities in Beijing; these two graduated from Peking University. The other two were less successful, so I won't introduce them to you.”
“.”
The entire room was silent, so silent you could hear a pin drop.
What do you mean by "These two were almost not good enough, so I won't introduce them to you"? So, just because they're not from Peking University doesn't mean they're not worth introducing?
However, Li Yue and Li Ying, who weren't particularly noteworthy, had no objections. The eldest sister, Li Yue, attended night school, which was indeed a slight disadvantage.
Li Ying did graduate from Beijing University of Finance and Economics, but she went the route of studying abroad, and her older sister went to night school. Are you deliberately showing off now to compete with her? Do you want to see who has the bigger fist?
To put it bluntly, Li Ye's fighting skills are too high, which makes the women of the Li family look like "weaklings". Not to mention the female guerrillas and female militia captains, even the eldest sister's skills are enough for her to pick up a weapon and charge into the crowd as a "fierce soldier".
Of course, you can't fight empty-handed. No matter how good your fighting skills are, you need to use weapons to fight against men. Otherwise, you'll be completely outmatched by men in terms of "resistance to blows".
However, no one would pry into Li Yue and Li Ying's educational background now, because not everyone in Beijing can get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
For most children in Beijing, the ceiling is Beijing University of Technology. There are also many children who can't get into high school. Those who can get into university are good students, okay?
Even Teacher Yan, who had always viewed people with prejudice, was shocked at this moment.
These four "aunts" were all college students, and two of them were even from Peking University. This was extremely rare in the 1980s, and their potential was immeasurable, even compared to Xu Xianpeng's promising father, who was a department head.
To be honest, if Teacher Yan had known that Xiao Dou'er had four college student aunts, things would never have turned out this way.
However, Xu Xianpeng's grandmother felt even more uncomfortable. Why could a bunch of peasants get into the best university in Beijing, while her son didn't?
Then she smiled and said, "No wonder it's all the aunties who came today! They're all very cultured people. By the way, is the child's father also from Peking University? And why didn't the child's mother come today?"
Given the nature of flower growers, when showing off, they will only show the best side. Therefore, since Wu Juying did not introduce Li Ye, Li Ye must be the weakest link.
[Your family is dominated by women, what are you so arrogant about?]
However, Wu Juying casually replied, "Yes! My grandson graduated from the Economics Department of Peking University, and my daughter-in-law graduated from the English Department of Peking University."
My daughter-in-law is very busy with work, and I'm idle at home, so I usually take care of the child. If the child makes any mistakes, it's all my responsibility as the grandmother.
No one spoke up. Given the current situation, unless Wu Juying was just bragging, the Li family's level of education was truly impressive.
Just like Teacher Yan said to Li Ye before, "The child's task now is to study." You say that Old Li's child has the wrong attitude towards studying, so how should you teach your child to study? Can you teach a family that is better than a family of college students?
Grandma Xu took a deep breath, then persisted, "Peking University is indeed excellent, a top-tier university in mainland China, but it's far inferior to world-renowned universities overseas."
"Now, the best students from mainland China are all studying abroad. My son Pengpeng's aunt was a government-sponsored student and now works for a multinational corporation in Lighthouse."
Li Yue, Li Juan, Fu Yiruo, and Li Ying were all stunned. They had come to the school today to help out, thinking they were going to have a good discussion with the Xu family about the children's fight. How did it turn into a "competition" between the aunts? Hasn't this gone off-topic?
However, at this moment, Li Ye, who had been silent until now, spoke up, and his words were very sharp.
"How come a government-sponsored student is working in Lighthouse? Was it arranged by the government?"
The Xu family members were stunned for a moment, and then they all frowned.
The old lady of the Xu family said angrily, "You are a graduate of Peking University, don't you know the specific situation of overseas students? Does this need to be arranged by the government?"
Li Ye calmly said, "According to what you're saying, ma'am, then it wasn't arranged by the government? Will she come back?"
