While the two little girls were chattering and washing the vegetables, the rice cooker had already prompted that the rice was ready, and Chen Tianliao's first dish, braised tofu, had also begun to be plated.

"You should take it out and eat it first, this dish is to be eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold. Chen Tianliao said.

"Okay, let's go eat after washing!" Song Shiqing said.

So she quickly finished washing the dishes, then turned on the rice cooker, filled two bowls of rice, and said to Xu Qiaoli: "Xiaoli, you serve the dishes, let's go eat first." ”

"Don't you have to wait for your brother?" asked Xu Qiaoli.

"That's my brother......" Song Shiqing was speechless. She was mistaken for Chen Tianliao's sister many times. There is no way, Chen Tianliao's temperament often makes people mistakenly think that he is an adult, and she is still a proper student girl.

"I'm sorry. Xu Qiaoli's face turned red.

Chen Tianliao fried another fried pork slices with cauliflower, a fried rape, followed by the steamed fish in the pot, and the soup cooked in another rice cooker, and the dinner of four dishes and one soup was ready. By the time he reached the table, the two girls had eaten about the same.

"Your stir-fried food is so delicious. It's better than what I ate at your Beijing restaurant!" Xu Qiaoli said.

"That's because I made a change according to the tastes of your Xiangjiang people. Chen Tianliao said, "You Xiangjiang people like to eat light things, while the taste of restaurants in Beijing is a little heavier." ”

"I'll just say why the food you cooked tonight tastes a little weird!" Song Shiqing said.

Chen Tianliao smiled at Xu Qiaoli and said, "Look, this is difficult to reconcile. took care of your Xiangjiang taste, and this Beijing girl felt that the taste of the food was a little strange. ”

Xu Qiaoli smiled a little shyly: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

Chen Tianliao said: "This is what I should do. ”

"By the way, which university are you going to go to next year? It won't be a domestic university, right?" asked Xu Qiaoli.

Song Shiqing looked at Xu Qiaoli, but saw that Xu Qiaoli's face was as usual.

Chen Tianliao said: "I am going to the United States. Several U.S. schools have already invited me to enroll after my senior year of high school. ”

"Why do you want to go to the United States and not to the United Kingdom?" Xu Qiaoli asked. She wants to study in the UK.

"Because the future of the world lies in two countries: the United States and China. The United States will be far ahead for a long time to come, and of course I want to study in the United States. ”

"But don't you think Britain is more aristocratic?" asked Xu Qiaoli.

Chen Tianliao smiled: "The so-called aristocratic atmosphere needs to be piled up with money. They still have money, and of course will maintain the so-called aristocratic atmosphere for a while. But when they had no money, they were a bunch of pirates who killed people without blinking, savages in the eyes of the continent. ”

"You're very rich now, aren't you just going to cultivate an aristocratic temperament?" asked Xu Qiaoli.

Chen Tianliao shook his head and said, "I look rich now, but the development and changes of this era are jaw-dropping." My little money will soon be nothing. And even if I want to cultivate an aristocratic temperament, I will not learn those things in the West. I am a member of the Chinese nation with a glorious history and culture of 5,000 years. ”

Xu Qiaoli shook her head and said, "But no one agrees with you." ”

Chen Tianliao smiled: "So I have to be so strong that they have to bow their heads in agreement." This is how the British Empire recognized the European continent back then, and the United States now recognizes old Europe by virtue of its strength. ”

Xu Qiaoli was dumbfounded.

When Chen Tianliao saw Xu Qiaoli like that, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although you Xiangjiang people are very developed, you can't do it in your bones, and you are thinking about how to be a good little brother of Westerners." The mainlanders are different, although they are relatively backward at present, but they all want to stand side by side with Westerners, and even be the leading big brother. ”

"I don't think that's likely. There are too many problems in China. ”

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "Although there are many problems in China, it can lead the world for more than a thousand years, why can't it continue to lead?"

Xu Qiaoli felt that her outlook on life had been hit like never before: "But the West is so far ahead. ”

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ”

Xu Qiaoli was speechless.

Chen Tianliao said: "That's why Xiangjiang and Baodao have developed so well, but I haven't settled down and started a business in the past. No matter how well you develop, you are nothing more than a vassal of others. And although our side is currently backward, it has a vast world and great achievements. If you are interested, coming here when you are looking for a job will definitely have more excitement than staying in Hong Kong. Of course, if you're after a peaceful life, then I didn't say it. ”

Xu Qiaoli was stunned for a while before she said: "This is the most optimistic view I have heard about the mainland. ”

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "This is because you don't know the real mainland. For example, you always say that the people in the interior are all made into a bunch of obedient people from above. This is wrong. If we actually grew up in elementary age, our textbooks taught us how to rebel and how to actively change our status and destiny. The country is full of restless people. And the power of these restless people, coming together, will completely change the fate of this country. ”

Xu Qiaoli smiled: "I'll just say why there are so many big circles, it turns out that this is the case." ”

Chen Tianliao blushed a little and said, "That's just the bad side. There are two sides to everything. ”

The origin of the term "big circle" is no longer clear. Legend has it that because circles are used to represent cities on the map of China, the more important the city is, the larger the circle, so the people of Yangcheng call themselves "big circles". When they arrived in Xiangjiang, they all called the mainlanders a big circle. Of course, this is not a good word, and it generally refers to mainlanders who work as traitors in Xiangjiang.

Xu Qiaoli said: "Anyway, thank you for your advice." I'm going to study in the UK, and I'm going to pay attention to the situation in the mainland. I don't want to live a quiet life, but I want to make a career like my aunt. If the mainland is a suitable stage, I will go back to the mainland to do things with you. ”

Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided!"

Song Shiqing looked at the two of them, a little deflated. Both of these are super top students, and foreign universities are arbitrary. She is about to be a notch off, whether her grades can enter a prestigious school depends on luck.

According to common sense, she doesn't have to worry about not going to a good school. Chen Tianliao is already planning to help her brush up on a prestigious school. For example, it is expected to donate a large sum of money to the famous Stanford University to pave the way for Song Shiqing to enter it. The relationship between private universities in the United States and the children of the powerful is already an unspoken rule that everyone knows. A lot of the results of the laboratory can also be pushed to her to add a little luster to her resume. For example, the VCD gave her some results, and the USB flash drive released next year also gave Song Shiqing some results. Song Shiqing's participation in student assistance and study tours will also be recorded in the archives as social practice. In short, how the rich children of the United States brush their resumes, Song Shiqing followed. In this way, as long as it is not muddy and does not go to the wall, it can be completely brushed into a famous American school. The United States, as a paradise for the rich, is not in vain.

But Song Shiqing refused. She decided to apply to a university in China. She is not used to privileges. Chen Tianliao followed her.

At this moment, the two top students began to discuss the difference between British and American universities in front of Song Shiqing, and Song Shiqing looked at them speechlessly and stopped talking.

However, Xu Qiaoli quickly turned the topic to Song Shiqing: "By the way, Xiaoqing, are you going to study in the United States or Europe?"

Song Shiqing smiled: "I'd better stay in China." Xiao Liao said that it was too dangerous abroad, and he had to follow him. And he was going to UC Berkeley, but there was no school in the Bay Area for me, so I stayed in the country. ”

Xu Qiaoli was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not dangerous abroad." I've been to the UK several times and nothing bad has happened. ”

Song Shiqing said: "That's because you stay in the rich area. Xiao Liao's sister-in-law was in danger when she was studying in the United States, and if Xiao Liao hadn't sent a bodyguard to infiltrate the university as her roommate, she would have been in danger. At that time, she stupidly ran to the slums to help the poor......"

"Hey, Xiaoqing, don't be happy to say bad things about others behind your back!" Chen Mei's voice sounded at the door. I don't know when, Chen Mei has already opened the door and come in. A few people in the house were talking, but they didn't hear her open the door.

Song Shiqing said behind her back that Chen Mei's troubles had been arrested, and he lowered his head with a flushed face. Chen Tianliao smiled: "Okay, good, sister-in-law, you taught you right, you can't say bad things about others behind your back." Therefore, we will no longer speak ill of you behind your back. This time I had to say it face to face. ”

"Hey, Xiao Liao, don't go too far!" Chen Mei rushed on the spot. Song Shiqing and Xu Qiaoli were both amused and laughed, and the embarrassing atmosphere was resolved on the spot.

"By the way, sister-in-law, didn't you watch a movie with your grandparents, why did you come back so early?" asked Chen Tianliao.

"Hey, don't talk about it, that film is so bad that I spent twenty dollars in vain. Even your grandparents say it's a bad movie, let alone me. Chen Mei said with a frown.

"And they're back, too?"

"No, they said that since the money was spent, it had to be read or wasted. Now they're still in the cinema, scolding the director while watching. ”

The three people at the "......" table were speechless. They can't understand this old man's concept of consumption at all.

"By the way, when it comes to movies, I'm also going to open a film company. In the summer vacation, I will go to Xiangjiang. Chen Tianliao turned his head and said to Xu Qiaoli.

Xu Qiaoli was overjoyed and said: "Okay, when you come to Xiangjiang, I will entertain you as the host." In addition, the members of the band Beyond are all children of the film and television industry, which should be of great help to you!"
