Chapter 128: Going Abroad Together
Susie was surprised when she heard Baozhu's words, "Why do you suddenly want to go to high school in Country M?" ”
Baozhu said: "I have many classmates and friends who have gone abroad, and my mother wants to go too." ”
Susie smiled: "You also go abroad every year?" What's so rare about going abroad? ”
Baozhu took Suzie's hand coquettishly, "Mom, most of our national universities are strict in and wide out, and the universities in country M are wide in and strict out, besides, I have been studying here for more than ten years, I want to go out and have a look." ”
Susie rubbed Baozhu's little head, "How old are you?" Want to go out and see it? The outside world isn't as beautiful as you think. ”
On Baozhu's delicate and white little face, a bright smile appeared, "Mom, I know, but I just want to see it with my own eyes, I will take the college entrance examination in a few months, I like mathematics, I want to go to Princeton University in college, Mom, you just let me go." ”
Susie said: "Then you can go directly to Princeton, there is no need to go to high school in country M?" ”
Baozhu said embarrassedly, "I just want to experience a different life." ”
When Susie heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I think you just do it, and you have to suffer if you have a good rich life." ”
However, Susie then thought that the orb had been protected by them very well since she was a child, but in fact, it was not very good;
Baozhu's child is too simple, too kind, although people are smart and transparent, but they don't have any defenses against people, they haven't seen the sinister world, Susie has always been more open-minded towards children;
After thinking about it, he said, "Since you want to go, my mother won't stop you." ”
Xiao Baozhu was happy when she heard this, and hugged Susie, "Thank you, Mom, you are so good!" ”
Susie hugged Xiao Baozhu and said, "TOEFL or IELTS, no matter which one you want to take?" Mom can arrange for you, but you are still a minor, if you go to high school in country M, you should live in a host family.
It just so happens that your eldest brother and second brother are both in country M, or you can live with the two of them. ”
When Xiao Baozhu heard this, he immediately shook his head, with a reluctant expression, "I don't want to live with them, if I live with them, what's the difference between living with them and at home?" ”
"Mom, I want to live by myself, I know Mom, you're worried about me, I'll protect myself, I won't mess around, I just want to experience a different life."
"Hey, you kid, who does this personality look like?"
After Xiao Zhan went home in the evening, Susie told Xiao Zhan about Xiao Baozhu and the idea of going to high school in country M, and Xiao Qi and Guo Haiying next to him said with a distressed face:
"Baozhu, this kid is still young, what country M is he going to?"
"It's that our jewel is so beautiful, and so kind and simple, when she goes out, I'm afraid that she will be deceived."
Xiao Zhan was also worried, "The people outside are complicated, the treasure bead is too simple, I'm afraid that she will come into contact with bad people in the future, and the road will be crooked." ”
Xiao Baozhu hurriedly stood up and fought for himself, "Grandpa, grandma, and dad, it's because I haven't experienced many things and have little knowledge that I want to study abroad, experience different lives, and increase my knowledge." ”
Seeing Xiao Baozhu's resolute attitude, Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said, "It's okay to go out and have a look, it just so happens that your two elder brothers are in country M, so they can take care of you." ”
Xiao Baozhu saw that her father said the same, and immediately objected, the two brothers loved her too much, and they used to be very strict with her, Xiao Baozhu didn't want anyone to control her, so she wanted to be free.
Susie understood that this was her daughter's rebellious period, and in the end, under Xiao Baozhu's strong insistence, Xiao Zhan and Susie had no choice but to agree.
The training institution established by Xiao Zhan more than ten years ago has become a behemoth at this time, and it is also involved in the homestay of international students;
Therefore, Susie found the teacher in the training institution who knew the most about studying abroad, and first reported IELTS to Baozhu.
This morning, Baozhu went to school, there were more than 30 students in the class, but at this time there were only about 10 left, and the rest went abroad.
Baozhu entered the classroom, and her table mate was still Ye Xiaotian at this time, and the two had been at the same table from elementary school, junior high school to high school.
Ye Xiaotian didn't study well in elementary school, and then somehow, his academic performance rose slowly, Xiao Baozhu was the first in the age, and Ye Xiaotian occupied the second place in the grade all year round.
Xiao Baozhu sat down in his seat and greeted Ye Xiaotian with a smile first, "Brother Xiaotian, hello!" ”
Ye Xiaotian has become a handsome young man at this time, his facial features are delicate and picturesque, his temperament is indifferent and elegant, facing Ye Xiaotian, who is always a dead face to others, only when he sees the jewel, will he show a little smile on his face;
After Xiao Baozhu greeted Ye Xiaotian, he secretly said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Xiaotian, I told my mother that I was going to go to high school in Country M, and my parents agreed. ”
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, "Are you really going to go to high school in Country M?" ”
Baozhu nodded, "My mother has asked someone to help me enroll in Trinity Middle School.
Trinity Middle School is a well-known private middle school in New York, and Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yue are also in New York, if something happens to Xiao Baozhu, her two brothers can also take care of it.
Ye Xiaotian didn't say anything, but his lips were tightly pursed.
Xiao Baozhu has been loved by everyone since she was a child, and everyone protects her too well, so there are more constraints. It's as if the Xiao family used a delicate cage to raise Xiao Baozhu.
Although many people envy Xiao Baozhu for being able to live in that exquisite cage, Xiao Baozhu himself yearns for a freer life.
A week later, Siu Po Chu took the IELTS test and got a perfect score, and at the same time received an interview notice from Trinity Middle School.
Xiao Zhan couldn't accompany Xiao Baozhu to country M because he had important things, and this time Susie and Guo Haiying accompanied Xiao Baozhu together.
Guo Haiying was afraid that Xiao Baozhu would not eat well and live abroad, so when she left, she prepared a whole 5 large boxes of things for Xiao Baozhu.
Susie smiled and said, "Mom, you bought too many things." ”
Guo Haiying said with a serious face: "You don't understand, foreign countries can't be compared with our domestic ones, the baby has lived in China for so many years, and he is used to eating domestic food abroad, and it's okay to eat a few meals of those hamburgers and hot dogs, eat them every day, how greasy it is." ”
"I prepared some seasonings for the baby, and I'm tired of eating foreign food, so let's eat H national food."
Xiao Baozhu Over the years, although the Xiao family spoiled her and was used to her, they didn't spoil her too much, Susie is a good cook, and she usually takes Xiao Baozhu with her when she cooks, and Xiao Baozhu learned good cooking skills from Susie.
Old Man Xiao and Old Man Su passed away five years ago, after Old Man Su passed away, Su Xi taught Xiao Yue to learn Chinese medicine, and when Xiao Yue was studying, Su Xi would let Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Cheng listen, which was considered to increase their knowledge.
As for the sophistication of human feelings?
Susie and Xiao Zhan also often teach the children, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yue, two boys, Susie and Xiao Zhan are not too worried, and when they graduate from college, they let them go to study in country M;
After graduating from the doctorate, the two children did not return to China, not because they did not plan to come back, but planned to work abroad for a period of time and accumulate work experience.
Although Xiao Baozhu understands the sophistication of human feelings, the environment in which she lives is too simple, and she rarely touches the dark side, which also makes her think clearly, but she is too kind, too easy to trust people, and sometimes she is too direct to speak, and she doesn't know how to be tactful.
Therefore, Susie and Xiao Zhan felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Xiao Baozhu study abroad, and when the child grew up and wanted to fly, it was up to them.
Anyway, with Xiao Baozhu's temperament, there will be no big trouble, and if there are some minor problems, the principal and Susie can solve them for her.
Suffering losses and being deceived can promote Xiao Baozhu's growth faster.
There are too many things to take, Susie is a lazy person, seeing so many things, there is an urge to throw them all away, so he said: "Mom, you put these things first, we can mail them over, take so much, it is troublesome on the way." ”
Guo Haiying thought about it, so she bought some more things and asked Susie to mail all the things she bought for Xiao Baozhu to country M first.
This matter is simple, although the postage is very expensive, but the Xiao family does not lack that postage.
On the day he left, Xiao Qi, who had half-white hair, held Xiao Baozhu's hand tightly, his eyes were full of reluctance, for this only granddaughter, Xiao Qi was also in pain in his bones, although he usually didn't say it, but he had been silently caring and loving Xiao Baozhu.
and Xiao Zhan, because there was something important, he didn't have time to send Xiao Baozhu, so he could only call Xiao Baozhu, his tone was full of reluctance and guilt, "Girl, you wait for Dad, and when Dad is free, I will go to see you." ”
was about to leave the place where he was born and raised, Xiao Baozhu also felt a sense of reluctance in his heart, choked and nodded, "Okay, Dad, I'll wait for you." ”
Just when everyone was about to go through the security check, Xiao Baozhu suddenly found a familiar figure in the corner of his eyes, Xiao Baozhu looked at it and said in disbelief: "Brother Xiaotian? ”
Xiao Baozhu was still puzzled before, she clearly sent the time and place of leaving to Ye Xiaotian, why didn't Ye Xiaotian come to see her off?
Now that she is going through the security check, Ye Xiaotian finally appeared, Xiao Baozhu was very happy, but what made her wonder was that Ye Xiaotian was actually pushing a suitcase, where was she going?
The Xiao family is also very familiar with this table with Xiao Baozhu from elementary school, junior high school to high school, Ye Xiaotian's family also has a deep background, but his parents work outside all the year round, and he is raised by his grandparents, so his personality is a little withdrawn.
Susie can see at a glance that this stinky boy has taken a fancy to her daughter, and since elementary school, those big thief eyes have been staring at her daughter.
Susie has also been secretly inspecting Ye Xiaotian, anyway, daughters always have to get married, Ye Xiaotian is handsome, has a good family background, and has an infatuation with his daughter, of course... There is too much uncertainty about feelings;
But after so many years of investigation, Susie feels that Ye Xiaotian'er's stinky boy really likes her daughter to the core, but... It's a pity that she, a stupid girl, seems to just regard Ye Xiaotian as her brother, and her brain has never been enlightened.
Susie felt that Ye Xiaotian was a qualified son-in-law candidate, so it didn't stop Ye Xiaotian from being at the same table with her daughter from elementary school to high school.
It's just that Ye Xiaotian's intentions for the jewel, Susie didn't hate it, so she went with him;
As long as Ye Xiaotian's kid doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, she doesn't care, anyway, her daughter doesn't open up, she just regards Ye Xiaotian as a good friend and has a good brother.
Susie thought that this time her daughter went abroad to study, Ye Xiaotian was going to be sad this time, but he didn't expect that looking at this kid's posture, it seemed that he was going to go abroad with him?
Ye Xiaotian saw that the Xiao family was there, and his always indifferent face rarely squeezed out a gentle smile, "Hello grandpa, grandma, and auntie!" ”
Seeing Ye Xiaotian, Xiao Qi and Guo Haiying both smiled and nodded, and Susie also smiled and nodded to Ye Xiaotian.
Xiao Baozhu looked at the luggage in Ye Xiaotian's hand and asked in surprise, "Brother Xiaotian, what are you doing with the luggage?" Didn't you come today to see me off? ”
Ye Xiaotian coughed lightly when he heard this, lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little uncomfortable, "My grandfather and grandmother have to let me go abroad..."
Without waiting for Ye Xiaotian to finish speaking, Xiao Baozhu was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Xiaotian, you are also going to study abroad, which school did you go to?" Which city? Maybe, when we're on vacation, we'll be able to come out and get together? ”
Ye Xiaotian's voice was lower, "I have a relative in my family who is a teacher at Trinity Middle School, and then, my grandfather asked him to arrange me into Trinity Middle School. ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Baozhu blinked dumbfoundedly, "Brother Xiaotian, you are in the same school as me, what a coincidence!" ”
Susie who was standing on the side covered her face, she is a stupid girl, she is very smart on weekdays, otherwise she wouldn't like mathematics, but in terms of feelings, she is really... Too stupid!
Even Xiao Qi and Guo Haiying on the side could see that Ye Xiaotian's feelings for their granddaughter seemed to be a little impure.
It's their stupid granddaughter, I can't see it.
Xiao Qi frowned, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Guo Haiying, Guo Haiying shook his head, his eyes squinted at Susie, Xiao Qi also looked at Susie, and saw Susie looking at Ye Xiaotian, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and knew that Susie should know about this matter;
Susie has been in the Xiao family for so many years, where does Xiao Qi and his wife not know that although Susie has been stopped, she is a master who refuses to suffer.
If Ye Xiaotian really had ill intentions towards Xiao Baozhu, Susie would have stopped it a long time ago, since Susie didn't stop it, I want to come...
Things shouldn't be what they thought they would.
Xiao Qi and his wife didn't know that things were really what they thought, but Susie was more open-minded.
"Alright," Susie said, "It's not too early, we should go through the security check, since you are in the same school, then..."
Susie patted Ye Xiaotian on the shoulder, "In the future, we will have to take care of you a lot of Baozhu." ”
Ye Xiaotian had a happy smile on his face, "Well, Auntie, don't worry." ”
Susie smiled, "Oh my God, didn't your family come to see you off?" ”
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy, but he quickly hid it, "My parents are not in the capital, my grandfather and grandmother want to come to see me off, but I didn't let me." ”
Susie nodded, "It's okay, there is an aunt here, if you encounter anything, tell your aunt." ”
