Xia Xiaolan was also thinking about her acceptance letter.
Her acceptance letter will be mailed directly to Grandma Yu's house, and she is in charge of the post office near Grandma Yu's house. Xia Xiaolan has gone to say hello earlier. The chances of getting rid of Huaqing's notice are very small. Before the notice arrives, all Xia Xiaolan can do is wait.
For her, the matter of meeting Zhou Cheng's family is over.
There is still a lot of work waiting for her in Pengcheng.
But for the people around Xia Xiaolan, meeting Zhou Cheng's parents was a very important event. After returning to Pengcheng, not only Kang Wei and Shao Guangrong had the cheek to inquire about the news, but also her uncle Liu Yong, and Liu Fen who was far away in Shangdu. Call and ask.
Liu Fen usually doesn't take the initiative to call her. Liu Fen doesn't understand why the receiver of the phone can allow two people thousands of miles away to hear each other. Liu Fen was also not used to the distorted voice during the call. She would rather send a telegram for everything. Xia Xiaolan went to the capital to meet Zhou Cheng's family, but the telegram couldn't explain clearly, so Liu Fen could only make a phone call.
She really asked for all the details!
Hearing that Xia Xiaolan had met almost all the immediate relatives of Zhou Cheng's family at once, Liu Fen was extremely nervous.
Hearing that Xia Xiaolan honestly explained her family situation and even told Zhou's family about her divorce, Liu Fen nearly fainted while holding the microphone.
"You silly boy, how can you say this"
Liu Fen was in a hurry to speak in a hurry, Xiaolan was of course a good boy, and her mother knew better than anyone else. But Zhou Cheng's family didn't understand Xiaolan when they saw Xiaolan for the first time. What if they were disgusted when they heard that Xiaolan's parents were divorced?
Xia Xiaolan told her seriously:
"If Zhou Cheng's family wants to judge your marital status, it proves that Zhou Cheng and I are not suitable. Marriage and divorce are both personal choices. Divorce is allowed by national laws, which proves that you have the right to make your own decisions. Mom, this is not What a shameful thing, people didn¡¯t understand it 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 It¡¯s just a very brave 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 feel at ease:
"Of course, judging from my first meeting, Zhou Cheng's family is quite easy to get along with. His grandma is very enthusiastic, and his grandpa especially supports me in studying more When I left, I gave me a meeting gift, you can rest assured right?"
Liu Fen was about to die of anxiety, how could he speak so out of breath?
Hearing that a meeting gift was given, Liu Fen felt at ease.
The customs are similar across the country. It is the first time for a girl to go 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, it was taught by Grandma Yu, saying that Zhou Cheng is a particular person, and his family must understand these old rules. If you want to look up to Xia Xiaolan, you won't let her leave empty-handed. Of course, Xia Xiaolan went to Zhou Cheng's house for the first time, and it would be impolite to go there empty-handed and with a mouth open.
Respect is mutual. Some old rules are feudal dross, and some rules can be passed on forever in grandma's opinion.
"Just talk about you. At that time, your brother married you to Xia's family and didn't accept any gifts. Xia Jiabai picked up a daughter-in-law and came back to be a cow or a horse. How did he treat you in the end?"
Grandma Yu brainwashed Liu Fen all day, anyway, Liu Fen nodded at everything the old lady said.
At that time when there was a famine, Liu Yong thought that she could marry and go to Xia's family to have enough food, but he didn't have money to buy a dowry, so why would he accept a gift? Thinking about it now, among the three daughters-in-laws of the Xia family, she was the only one who did not spend a catty of rice. Just like Grandma Yu said, Mrs. Xia treated her the worst.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Fen explained everything to her grandma:
"Xiaolan said that she brought something to Zhou's house. When she left, Zhou's parents gave her a gift, 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 hate Xia Xiaolan must have a conflict of interest, and Liu Fen feels relieved as Grandma Yu said. That kid Zhou Cheng looks really good, he cares about Xiaolan, and respects his relatives and elders here. Liu Fen is not the kind of snobbish person, and thinks that Xia Xiaolan can change her partner if she wins the provincial champion.
Zhou Cheng was an officer before he got the provincial champion, and he didn't say he disliked Xiaolan's poor conditions.
Liu Fen's ideas are simple, but they are very suitable for grandma'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?, the Zhou family will not object to her dating Zhou Cheng.
If one can look down on the Zhou family just by virtue of being a provincial champion and a student of Huaqing University, Grandma Yu thinks that Xia Xiaolan is not so frivolous. Any powerful family needs time to create. Every year there are top students in the college entrance examination, and every year graduates from Huaqing University are assigned to jobs. Whether it is a dragon or a worm, there is no way to see it without 20 or 30 years of inspection.
It's still too early for Xia Xiaolan to raise her tail. What Zhou Cheng was born with, she just now has the conditions to match Zhou Cheng through her own efforts.
Grandma Yu is clear-headed, and she hopes that Xia Xiaolan can also be clear-headed In the end, it doesn't matter whether she can marry Zhou Cheng, or even whether she can marry, or who she will marry. The important thing is that Xia Xiaolan understands what she wants.
Relying on men and relying on marriage is one way.
Not relying on men, not relying on marriage, is another way.
According to Grandma Yu, it is not uncommon for a girl like Xia Xiaolan to be capable. Although the premise of choosing the second path will be hardship, it will be bitter first and then sweet. It's best for a woman to be capable on her own, and 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.
"Go to the post office these days and hurry up. Huaqing's notice is the first batch to be mailed. It may arrive in a few days."
"Hey, listen to you!"
Liu Fen agreed very briskly, and she also felt that the admission letter was more important than meeting Zhou Cheng's family.
After taking the admission notice for Xiaolan, Liu Fen also planned 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 long. Li Fengmei also encourages her to go to the south more often, saying that there are many things to learn about choosing clothes styles. up. The styles they chose were not as easy to sell as those chosen by Xiaolan. The clothes they thought were good-looking might not be liked by customers Fortunately, they could exchange them, otherwise they would suffer a lot from selling summer clothes this time.
Starting from this day, Liu Fen really listened to Grandma Yu's words and went to the post office three times a day.
Everyone at the post office knows her, and she is not too annoying. If anyone can get a Huaqing University in his family, ten trips a day will not be too much!
In the blink of an eye, August arrived, the hottest time of the year came, and when Liu Fen began to worry about gain and loss, there was finally a commotion at the post office:
"Xia Xiaolan? There is a registered letter!"
