400: Admission Notice (4 More)
Xia Xiaolan was also thinking about her admission notice.
Her admission letter will be sent directly to her grandmother's house, and she is in charge of the post office at her grandmother's house. Xia Xiaolan went to say hello earlier. The chances of Huaqing's notice getting lost are very small. Before the notice came, all Xia Xiaolan could do was wait.
For her, the meeting with Zhou Cheng's family was over.
There is still a lot of things waiting for her in Pengcheng.
But for the people around Xia Xiaolan, seeing Zhou Cheng's parents is a very important thing. After returning to Pengcheng, not only Kang Wei and Shao Guangrong had the cheek to inquire about the news, her uncle Liu Yong also asked, and Liu Fen, who was far away in Shangdu, also asked. Call to ask.
Liu Fen usually doesn't take the initiative to call her. Why does the handset allow two people thousands of miles away to hear each other? Liu Fen doesn't understand the principle. The distorted voice during the call also made Liu Fen unaccustomed to it. She preferred to telegraph everything. Xia Xiaolan went to the capital to see Zhou Cheng's family, but the telegram couldn't explain clearly, so Liu Fen could only make a phone call.
She really asked all the details!
Hearing that Xia Xiaolan had met almost all the immediate relatives of Zhou Cheng's family at one time, Liu Fen was so nervous.
I heard that Xia Xiaolan honestly explained the situation at home, and even told the Zhou family about her divorce. Liu Fen almost fainted while holding the microphone.
"You stupid boy, how can you say this..."
Liu Fen couldn't speak in a hurry. Of course Xiaolan was a good boy. She knew better than anyone that she was a mother. But when Zhou Cheng's family saw Xiaolan for the first time, they didn't understand it. What if they heard that Xiaolan's parents divorced?
Xia Xiaolan told her sternly:
"If Zhou Cheng's family wants to point fingers at your marital status, it will prove that Zhou Cheng and I are not suitable. Marriage and divorce are both personal choices. If the national law allows divorce, it proves that you have the right to decide for yourself. Mom, this is not What a shameful thing, people didn't understand before they got married, and more and more people will get divorced in two years. You are not ashamed at all, but you are ahead of many people. An unhappy marriage is a kind of torture, you Just bravely took the initiative to end this torture!"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, Xia Xiaolan changed the subject and said something that made Liu Fen relaxed:
"Of course, judging from the feeling of my first meeting, Zhou Cheng's family is still very easy to get along with, his grandma is very enthusiastic, and grandpa especially supports me to study more... When I left, I gave me a gift, you can rest assured right?"
Liu Fen was about to die, how could she be so breathless when she spoke?
Hearing that she had given a greeting, Liu Fen felt relieved.
The customs are similar all over the country. For the first time a girl goes back with her partner, if the elders in the man's family are satisfied, they will give some greetings. How can Liu Fen be so particular about these things? Grandma Yu taught her that Zhou Cheng is a very particular person, and his family must know these old rules. If you want to see Xia Xiaolan, she won't let her leave empty-handed. Of course, when Xia Xiaolan went to Zhou Cheng's house for the first time, it was rude to go with empty hands and a mouth.
Respect is for both parties, some old rules are feudal dross, and some rules can be passed on to my grandmother.
"Just say you, your brother married you to the Xia family at that time, and he didn't accept any dowry. The Xia family picked up a daughter-in-law and came back to be a cow and a horse. What happened to you in the end?"
Grandma Yu brainwashed Liu Fen all day long, and Liu Fen nodded whatever the old lady said anyway.
When there was a famine at that time, Liu Yong thought that she could marry and go to the Xia family to have a full meal. She had no money to buy a dowry, and what kind of dowry would she receive. Thinking about it now, of the three daughters-in-law of the Xia family, she is the only one who has never married a pound of rice. Just like Grandma Yu said, Mrs. Xia treats her the worst.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Fen explained to grandma:
"Xiaolan said that she brought something to Zhou's house. When she left, Zhou's parents gave greetings to her, Zhou Cheng's grandma gave her a jade bracelet, and Zhou Cheng's mother gave her earrings..."
Grandma Yu nodded, "That's right, you don't have to worry, your daughter is smarter than anyone else, and it's not difficult for her to please anyone."
Those who dislike Xia Xiaolan must have a conflict of interests, and Liu Fen felt relieved as Grandma Yu said. Zhou Cheng's child looked really good, he cared about Xiaolan, and respected the relatives and elders here. Liu Fen was not that kind of snobby person, and felt that Xia Xiaolan could be replaced by a provincial champion.
Before he was admitted to the provincial champion, Zhou Cheng was an officer, and he didn't say that he disliked Xiaolan's poor conditions.
Liu Fen's idea is simple, but it suits her grandmother's appetite.
The combination of the provincial champion and Huaqing University, according to grandma's guess, is just enough to pass the threshold of Zhou Cheng's family.
Xia Xiaolan is good enough, and the Zhou family will not object to her and Zhou Cheng dating.
If you can look down on the Zhou family just by being a provincial champion and a student at Huaqing University, Grandma Yu thinks that Xia Xiaolan is not so frivolous. Every powerful and powerful family needs time to cultivate. Every year there is a top student in the college entrance examination. Every year, graduates from Huaqing University are assigned to jobs.
It's too early for Xia Xiaolan to raise her tail, what Zhou Cheng was born to have, and now she is just relying on her own efforts to have the conditions that match Zhou Cheng.
Grandma Yu was sober, and she hoped that Xia Xiaolan would be sober as well... It doesn't matter whether she can marry Zhou Cheng, or even marry or who she wants to marry, what matters is that Xia Xiaolan has to understand what she wants.
Relying on men to rely on marriage is the way.
Not relying on men, not relying on marriage, is another way.
If grandma Yu said, it is not common for girls like Xia Xiaolan to be able
Bitter and sweet. It is best for a woman to have the ability herself, so she has a wider range of choices in marriage... She wants both family and career, and Xia Xiaolan has to figure out the balance between them.
"Hurry up at the post office these days. Huaqing's notices are the first to be sent, and they might arrive in the next few days."
"Hey, listen to you!"
Liu Fen agreed very briskly. Compared with Zhou Cheng's family, she also felt that the admission letter was more important.
Taking the admission letter for Xiaolan, Liu Fen also plans to go to Pengcheng. At the end of July, the busiest time for summer business has passed, and the clothing store does not need to be guarded all day. Li Fengmei also encouraged her to go to the south more often, saying that about choosing clothes styles, the two aunts and sisters have a lot to learn. . The styles they chose were not as easy to sell as Xiaolan's selection. Customers might not like clothes that they thought were good-looking... Fortunately, they were able to exchange them, otherwise they would have lost a lot of money selling summer clothes.
From this day on, Liu Fen really listened to Grandma Yu's words and went to the post office three times a day.
Everyone in the post office knows her, and they are not bothered. Anyone who can get into Huaqing University in their family will not be too much to run ten times a day!
In the blink of an eye, August came, the hottest time of the year, and when Liu Fen began to worry about gains and losses, there was finally a movement at the post office:
"Xia Xiaolan? There is a registered letter!"
#####I went out for dinner, I can update it in time when I come back at night. If you come back late, you may need to read it tomorrow morning. The remaining chapter will not be counted in tomorrow's update (#^.^#)
