Although Xu Zhiyi thought the test paper was really simple, she would not be so determined until she succeeded.
Jiang's mother was just too blindly confident in her.
It turns out that parents who love their children always have their own filters for their children.
I think my child is good in every way.
"Mom, let's talk about it when we have good news. The admission letter hasn't come out yet, so let's not talk about this for now."
Hearing his parents praising him in front of Pei Yan, he felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Mother Jiang smiled and whispered, "Okay, no more, no more. This child has become thin-skinned and shy."
Xu Zhiyi: “…”
Mom! You're too loud!
I've heard what you said.
Pei Yan glanced at Xu Zhiyi, who was secretly angry, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"You didn't even ask Xu Sheng how he did on the exam after you came back?"
"Ask him what he's doing. If he passes the exam, he'll go to college. If he doesn't, he'll continue to high school and take the exam again next year. He's still young and he's in the mood for fun."
"He went out this morning, and he hasn't come back yet at this hour. I'm waiting for you to come back for lunch, you little brat."
Jiang's mother kept saying that after being away for several months, she couldn't stay at home at all.
"Mom, you are so wise. You really need to study more. Xu Sheng is a little young, so I thought that since I am here with him, I would force him to study and give it a try."
"How could I not know? I'm not well educated. Back then, we couldn't even afford to eat and didn't have money to go to school. Now, people with education are welcome everywhere, not to mention college students."
Jiang's mother really has a longer-term vision than most people. Although she herself is not well educated, she knows that her children cannot be like that.
Even though they had three children, both of them sent all three to school.
The eldest sister finished high school, but Xu Zhiyi and Xu Sheng did not finish high school.
"If it weren't for the fact that your eldest sister got married and had children early, I guess she would have wanted to go to college." said Jiang's mother.
"Then when the child is older, if you are willing, you can still take the exam." Xu Zhiyi said.
But once you have a child and become someone else's wife, you no longer have that much freedom.
Mother Jiang thought of the Wang family, but in the end she remained silent.
In fact, the mother knew in her heart that her eldest daughter was too well-behaved and it was impossible for her to leave her daughter behind so that she could continue her studies.
Can't bear to leave the child.
Pei Yan listened to their conversation and was really impressed by the Xu family's attitude towards their children. They did not act like parents, but spoke calmly and interactively, and had a fresh understanding of their children.
Be able to support children's own decisions.
This kind of harmonious atmosphere makes it easy to sit down and chat.
Although it was Jiang's mother who was talking most of the time, Xu Hai was mostly silent, but he was listening to their conversation carefully.
Respond from time to time.
They started chatting, and Xu Hai saw Pei Yan sitting "obediently" aside, listening to their chat, and he had a little understanding of his personality.
Not talkative.
Xu Hai came into the room and took out the chess pieces. "Two games?"
"good."
Pei Yan sat opposite Xu Hai.
The two began to play chess back and forth.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang's mother went to prepare to cut the meat and wash the vegetables.
Xu Zhiyi saw that the two of them were cooking with great enthusiasm, so he followed Jiang's mother to the kitchen.
Xu Hai rarely has time to rest on weekdays, so he likes to play chess with the men in the compound and around him.
He thought he was a pretty good chess player, at least in the compound there were few opponents who could beat him.
But I didn't expect that Pei Yan, who looked so young, had so many tricks when playing chess.
Twenty minutes later...
"Uncle, I lost!" Pei Yan admitted defeat.
"Come again!" After this round, Xu Hai looked at Pei Yan with a different eye.
Xu Hai didn't expect Pei Yan to play chess with him for so long. He really became interested and the two continued to play a game.
Pei Yan had no choice but to agree.
When it was time for lunch at noon, Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to go downstairs anymore.
After all, it was too tiring for him to try every possible way to make Xu Hai win.
Xu Zhiyi put the dishes on the table and took a look at the chess game they were playing, which had just ended.
Seeing Pei Yan suddenly relax quietly, Xu Zhiyi smiled secretly but did not expose him.
It was rare for Xu Hai to encounter a tough opponent. Although he won narrowly every time, he still felt unsatisfied.
He also wanted to take Pei Yan to the compound after dinner to play chess with his friends.
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Xu Zhiyi shouted.
I don’t know where that kid Xu Sheng has gone. He hasn’t come back yet at noon.
As he was muttering to himself, Xu Sheng came back.
"Second sister, mother has made so many delicious foods!" Xu Sheng ran out without eating breakfast, and his stomach was growling with hunger.
"Hurry up and absorb it. Another dish will be on the table soon and you can eat now." Xu Zhiyi said.
Xu Sheng quickly slipped away to wash his hands.
I haven’t eaten my mother’s cooking for a long time, and I’m really craving it.
After Jiang Mei finished her work, the whole family sat and waited for her.
Only after she came did Xu Hai start to eat.
"Xiao Pei, eat quickly. I don't know if you can eat what your aunt cooks." Jiang Mei asked.
"It's delicious, Auntie, thank you for your help." Pei Yan replied politely after tasting it.
Jiang Mei felt relieved when she saw him picking up food from time to time.
On the other hand, Xu Sheng kept using his chopsticks and kept talking, "Brother Yan is also a good cook. When we were in the countryside, he often cooked for us."
Jiang Mei didn't know Pei Yan could cook, so she was a little surprised when she heard it. "Xiao Gu, you can cook too?"
"I learned a few tricks from a master chef in a state-owned restaurant, and then figured it out myself. It tastes pretty good." Pei Yan was not modest at this moment and glanced at Xu Zhiyi next to him.
Jiang Mei looked at him carefully when he said this, and didn't seem to be impatient at all.
Knowing that he is really good at cooking, I couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, my daughter can't cook. She almost burned down the kitchen when she was in it before.
"Mom, you don't know how delicious Brother Yan's cooking is. Whether it's stir-fried, boiled, or stewed, it's really delicious. If you don't believe me, ask my second sister."
Xu Hai and Jiang Mei looked at Xu Zhiyi.
"Yes, every time I want to eat something, I tell A Yan and he can make it. The dried meat I sent you before was made by A Yan."
"Brother Yan, how about you show off your cooking skills to your parents tomorrow and let them see how delicious your cooking is. And I've learned several dishes, so I can cook them too."
Jiang Mei rolled her eyes at her son. "This is Xiao Pei's first time at our house. How can we let a guest cook for us? That's ridiculous!"
Being used to the casual life in the countryside, Xu Sheng didn’t think too much about it.
"It's okay, auntie. If you have any food restrictions, I'll go buy some groceries tomorrow and you can try some." Pei Yan said.
"How can that be? This is not suitable."
It would be so ridiculous if it got out that the man had to cook when he went to the woman's house for the first time.
Jiang Mei could already imagine what the old ladies in the compound would do after they found out about this.
