Not only was Nanqiao surprised, but Taohua, who was watching TV with great interest, also turned around and looked at him with wide eyes.
Her mother was very strong and her father was a man of few words. In the past, when there were conflicts, her father would just slam the table and say “is that enough?” and not say much else. She didn’t expect that they would actually quarrel today.
"Yes, they had a quarrel. Xiaoguo and Yaya told me that it seemed like they had a pretty fierce quarrel. When they came over to eat, their faces were uglier than each other."
"It's really rare. If I had known, I would have gone back to take a look at noon." Taohua smiled slyly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with watching her parents having fun.
"Girl, you want to see everything"
"Oh, it's okay. They're arguing, but it will be over in a while." Taohua waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Oh, now that I remember, you're going to be a sophomore soon. Have you figured out how to plan? Finish college in China, or go abroad for further studies? If you have an idea, it's best to tell your parents in advance to avoid any arguments later." If she plans to go abroad, Nanqiao plans to handle the formalities for her in advance, so that she can go abroad for graduate studies directly after her sophomore year. Taohua's grades are very good, so graduating early is not a problem for her. However, she can only start to handle these matters after she decides on how to develop. After all, she will go abroad after her sophomore year, and there is only one year left, so she is still a little nervous.
As for why she didn't wait until she graduated from university to go abroad, Nanqiao didn't want to do that. On the one hand, the school's main courses were concentrated in the freshman and sophomore years, and the junior year was more about social practice. Taohua said that she liked the learning atmosphere of the school, and she didn't have the mind to leisurely wander around and enjoy herself. There was no need to waste two years. Instead of doing some social practice in China, it would be better to go to another country for further study, learn something really useful, and get in touch with a different world.
Speaking of this, Taohua is a little depressed. She wants to go abroad for further studies. Now her family doesn't lack her as a laborer. She also likes to study. Since conditions permit, she wants to go abroad for further studies. But going abroad means leaving her family. She can't bear to leave her parents, sister-in-law, and nephews and nieces...
After hesitating for a while, Taohua was a little disappointed... "I want to study abroad, but I can't bear to leave you guys behind."
"What's there to be reluctant about? If you want to come back, call home anytime and I'll buy you a plane ticket." In fact, compared to missing home, Nanqiao was more worried about her safety. After all, guns were allowed abroad. Nanqiao was still a little worried when Taohua went there.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any recommendations?" Taohua asked
"I think Country Y is a good place. My uncle was transferred there a few years ago to work as a diplomat. If you have any problems, there will be someone to take care of you." This was what Nanqiao had thought of earlier. If Taohua planned to go abroad, it would indeed be a good choice.
"Then let's go there," Taohua nodded in agreement. Her sister-in-law was right. She wasn't going to some remote mountain village. She needed to learn knowledge well so that she could make money. Then going home would only be a matter of buying a plane ticket. It wouldn't be a big problem. It's not that she couldn't learn anything in China, but the current economic situation in China was not as good as that in foreign countries. She had been thinking about development in China. Taohua wanted to go out and learn some new concepts and bring them back to build the motherland.
"Really...really want to go out." This was the first time Hui Ping heard them talk about their future plans. It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that the skinny and dark girl who helped her take care of Yaya before had now grown up to be a graceful young lady, and even embarked on a bright and prosperous road that they had never seen before. All this was thanks to Nan Qiao. If it weren't for her, let alone going abroad, Taohua might have been married by now.
"Since we have the conditions, we still want her to have a better future. Anyway, we don't need Taohua to work and earn money early. Let her see more of the world." Nanqiao withdrew his gaze from Taohua and looked at Huiping.
Hui Ping was speechless, not knowing what to say. This was beyond her understanding. She only dared to think about sending her two children to college, but never dared to think that she could send them abroad...
"No problem, sister-in-law." Nanqiao saw Huiping's incredible face and knew that she had never thought that she could walk like this.
"But sending children to school will cost a lot of money. Why do we have to go abroad to receive the same education?" Huiping's eyes revealed some doubts.
"Sister-in-law, you can get education in your hometown, why do you want to come to Shanghai?" Nanqiao paused for a moment, waiting for her to accept some of it, and then continued, "I'm not saying that foreign countries are necessarily good, but there are always different things from here, and there are more desirable and excellent things. I don't think sending them to study is worshipping foreign things. Their roots are here, and they will always come back to be exposed to more different concepts and see the world. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Then...can I, too?"
"sure"
Nanqiao's words awakened Huiping. Yes, she knew that the education in Shanghai was better than that in her hometown, so why couldn't she understand that going abroad would expose her to a different world? Thinking of this, Huiping's heart hardened little by little. In the following days, in addition to making money, Huiping's other goal was to keep a close eye on Yaya and Xiaoguo's studies...
The two children were dragged to study by Huiping every day after school. No matter how the family members persuaded them, it was useless. After a long time, the two children gave up struggling and studied obediently every day after school. Seeing the self-conscious children, Huiping was very satisfied and felt a sense of accomplishment.
That day, Huiping stayed in Nanqiao for a long time and asked many questions about going abroad. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that Huiping returned home, as if thinking about something.
