"Mingxia?" Sister-in-law Dong looked at the roll with an ugly face. She lowered her voice, "Didn't I tell you?" Don't take the college entrance examination, it's the right thing to take care of the eldest lady-"

Mingxia said without raising her head: "The general and Mrs. Han want me to take the college entrance examination." ”

Sister-in-law Dong slapped her notebook: "Mingxia." You can't be so selfish! ”

Mingxia was stunned, and looked at Grandma incredulously: "Am I selfish? ”

Sister-in-law Dong nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Grandma, I am almost 60 years old this year. Han Xuefen asked me to retire and go home before the general met with him. She said that I was old and afraid that my energy would not be able to keep up. It's a nanny who should change his age. The general also felt that she was reasonable, and had already talked to me. said that I had worked hard with my family for half my life, and I should go home to raise myself. ”

Mingxia twisted her eyebrows: "Grandma has worked hard for most of her life to go home to recuperate, is there anything wrong?" ”

Sister-in-law Dong said sharply: "I'm retired, what should my brother do?" He only went to high school in Guangzhou this year. If you go to another place, who will take care of him? ”

Mingxia's heart was cold: "I can be admitted to Guangzhou Normal University." ”

"That's a." Sister-in-law Dong held her hand, "I've already helped you think about your future." You grew up in the Xu family, and both the generals and the ministers liked you. You're Miss's playmate again. He is familiar with the relationship inside and outside the Xu family, and he is also capable of housework. Why don't you take over from Grandma and continue to be a nanny in the Xu family. ”

Mingxia's little face gradually turned pale, she couldn't believe that this was actually what her own grandmother said!

Sister-in-law Dong saw Mingxia's reluctance, and said with a slight annoyance: "Fool." As a nanny in the Xu family, it is also a master. You see that Grandma has been in the Xu family for so many years, who is not polite to me? Even if you are admitted to the university and become a teacher after you come out, it is not as comfortable as being a steward in the Xu family. Besides, you can only take good care of Mingye if you stay in the Xu family. Otherwise, if people go to tea and cool, how can the Xu family take care of Mingye's affairs at that time? Mingye definitely wants to stay in the city, and when he gets married and has children in the future, he needs your sister to help him everywhere. ”

Mingxia pinched the hem of her clothes with her left hand and poked a small hole in the hem of her clothes.

The bitterness in her throat went straight to her heart, and after a long time, she asked in a difficult voice, "Will the general and Mrs. Han agree?" ”

"So. You'll have to fight for it yourself. "Sister-in-law Dong can't be a bad person in front of the general who refuses to let her granddaughter go to college." As long as you insist that this is your own will, the general will definitely accept it. It's better than going out there and finding someone who doesn't know the roots. ”

"I see." She squeezed out a smile, "I'll take Grandma's words into consideration." ”

Sister-in-law Dong smiled and stroked her hair: "Good Mingxia." You've fallen into a nest of blessings in your life. In the future, if you are lucky enough to marry a general's driver, and if you are lucky, you will marry a guard, then you will be the first glory among the girls in our village! ”

Mingxia almost sneered. Her grandmother even thought about her marriage.

Let her stay in the Xu family as a nanny, all for her younger brother, and even her younger brother's child, the child's child.

She remembered that for so many years, her parents had been on Fan Island to take care of her younger brother and accompany him to study. I never asked myself how my situation was, let alone gave myself a little bit of anything. She knew in her heart that her parents didn't have her in their eyes at all.

If it weren't for the general's mention of finding a companion for Ling Ling, she would probably be the same as Fangcao, planting a baby at home, and marrying someone to earn a dowry for the family when the time comes.

But she has come to Guangzhou, has opened her eyes, and already knows that many women in this world are as smart and capable as men, and the women's stage is also colorful.

She has been extremely lucky to follow the trend of the times to the eve of the college entrance examination, how can she still go against the current?!

She took out the college entrance examination volunteer issued by the school, and resolutely filled in the "Capital Normal University" in the first choice.

The college entrance examination is approaching, and Sister-in-law Dong keeps urging Mingxia to ask General Xu to stay in the Xu family and take over her position, but Mingxia only reassures her that she has a plan.

"Grandma, I'm worried that if I talk to the general about this directly, the general will be disappointed in me even if he reluctantly agrees. So I thought about it for a few days and decided that I still had to take the college entrance examination. ”

Sister-in-law Dong was displeased: "What are you wasting that energy for?" ”

Mingxia insisted on her plan: "You must take the college entrance examination." But I deliberately did poorly. When the time comes, when you fail to be admitted to the university and don't know where your future is, if you talk to the general about me taking over you, I don't think the general will have any doubts. Besides, I took the college entrance examination, and you also explained it in front of the general, didn't you? ”

Sister-in-law Dong felt that Mingxia was reasonable.

But what if she lied to herself and got a high score?

Could it be that she couldn't fly?

Sister-in-law Dong didn't want to take this risk: "You have been out for three years, and your intestines have grown a lot." No way. The general is home this weekend, and you'll have to get things done in those two days. ”

Mingxia hung her head and was silent.

Sister-in-law Dong sneered: "Don't you just rely on the eldest lady to like you and protect you?" If she knew about your collusion with Madame Han in the past few years—"

Mingxia's widening eyes swept over in horror: "Isn't that grandma, you asked me to perfunctory Mrs. Han?" I've never done anything I'm sorry for! ”

Sister-in-law Dong raised her eyebrows: "The eldest lady bullying on campus, you happened to be not there." The eldest lady was wronged and had no personal witness. Tell me, why didn't you happen to be with Lingling that day? ”

Mingxia hurriedly said: "That day, Mrs. Han asked me to help go to the tailor to pick up the clothes of the two young ladies——"

She was stunned, her face snow-white.

Sister-in-law Dong had a smug look on her face: "If I expose you, you can't tell if you have a mouth." Do you think the eldest lady will forgive you? Can the Xu family let you go? ”

Mingxia stared at Sister-in-law Dong incredulously: "You are my grandma, you have been calculating me from the beginning?!" ”

Sister-in-law Dong smiled lovingly: "It is precisely because you are my own granddaughter that I have to choose the most correct and best path for you." ”

Mingxia's whole body trembled, and she slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, she lost all her feelings and expectations for her blood relatives.

"I see." She opened her eyes, and there was a chill in them. "I know how to do it."

Sister-in-law Dong secretly scolded the little hoof for toasting and not eating and drinking. smiled lovingly and patted her hand: "In the future, you will thank Grandma." ”

At the dinner table that day, General Xu really mentioned the matter of filling in the college entrance examination again, and focused on consulting Mingxia's unanswered volunteers last time.

Mingxia glanced at Grandma's eyes reminding her, clenched her fists and smiled, "I decided to take the normal university in the capital." ”

Sister-in-law Dong was stunned. Han Xuefen also raised her eyebrows, and her eyes flashed with excitement to watch a good show.

"Look at our kids!" The general was already laughing. "Everyone is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and they are bent on contributing to the construction of the country."

Mingxia continued: "During my three years in Nanping No. 1 Middle School, I saw with my own eyes that Principal Shan was working hard for the local poor children, especially girls, to go to school and study well. Burning itself like a candle. General, I come from a place that is poorer than Nanping, where too many girls cannot afford to read, and their future is dark. Therefore, I think that after graduating from normal school, I will return to my hometown to teach. ”
