On the way back with Lingling, I asked her, "Lingling, do you really want to study abroad?" ”

She nodded and said very seriously: "Brother, I do have an idea, in fact, it wasn't Brother Holly who suddenly mentioned it today, I already had an idea." ”

I nodded and said, "That's okay, you just think about it yourself, I'll tell my parents, but they probably won't refuse, but they may be worried about your safety." ”

"Didn't Brother Holly just say that he would find someone to take care of me? And I've learned that the security in Italy is still good. ”

"Are you sure you're going to Italy?"

She nodded again and said, "The Italian clothing industry has indeed always been at the forefront, such as P."

ADA, Versace, Armani, Gucci are all from Italy. ”

Although I don't know much about the clothing industry, I do know that Italy does have a high artistic component in the area of clothing design.

I smiled and said, "Then you won't graduate until next year, and you won't be able to go until next year." ”

She shook her head and said, "If you think about it, as long as you can get the authorization of the school in Italy, the school can keep the student status and go directly." ”

"Yo! Looks like you've said hello a long time ago! ”

Lingling smirked at me, stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother, in fact, I was going to talk to you and my parents about this when I came back this time, but I was afraid that you would not agree." ”

I took a deep breath and said, "I'll talk to my parents, but there is one more point, have you found a good study in Italy?" Will they give you a mandate? ”

"There are a few options, but this authorization is quite difficult, and there are several requirements."

"What requirements?"

"Either our family is engaged in the garment industry, and we must have a certain reputation in the industry; Either we have good family conditions in our family, at least the turnover is more than 10 million; Either I won the first place in our school's professional class, or I was recommended by a teacher over there. Of these three conditions, only one of them needs to be met. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and smiled stiffly: "It seems that only the last one of the three choices is more reliable!" ”

"That's right, but the school over there can't recommend me to go there, unless I'm really capable."

Lingling said, sighed a little frustratedly, and said, "I am not very good in my major class, and I am only fourth in my major if I have won the highest ranking." ”

"Do you have to have one of the three conditions?"

Lingling nodded and said, "If you want to keep your student status and go to further your studies, you need one of the three conditions, if you don't need it, then wait until you graduate and take the exam yourself and get a visa over there." ”

"Oh, then I see," I asked again, after a pause, "and what do you think?" ”

Lingling pursed her lips and said, "I still want to pass now when I have the opportunity, because if I wait another year, it will be a waste of time...... But the problem is that none of these three conditions can be met. ”

I was thinking about it when Lingling said to me again, "Brother, why don't you ask Brother Holly and see if he has a way over there." ”

This is a solution, but it is difficult to say, although Xie Dongqing is better than me, it can be said that he is also from the same class as me.

But I still promised to come back and ask, and I told Lingling not to get too hopeful.

……

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and my dad was already busy making dinner in the kitchen.

Seeing that we had only come back now, my mother asked, "Where did you two go?" Why are you only coming back now? ”

Lingling walked up to her mother, hugged her and said, "Mom, my brother and I went out for a walk, and Brother Holly invited us to afternoon tea." ”

"As soon as I come back, I will pester your brother, your brother is embarrassed to talk about you, you know something yourself!"

Lingling pursed her lips, and I answered: "Mom, I'm fine, Lingling didn't pester me." ”

"You just tolerate her, it's been like this since I was a child, I don't know yet."

Lingling was aggrieved, "Mom, why do you say that about me, it's rare for me to come back once, of course I'm going to pester my brother." ”

"Yes, yes, you just look at your brother and rely on you, you yourself are not small, don't look for your brother for everything, you have to be assertive."

"I know, Mom, you don't bother you with these words, I'm tired of listening to them."

I went to the kitchen to help my dad make dinner, and I took the opportunity to tell my dad about Lingling's desire to study abroad.

"Dad, what are you going to eat tonight?"

"Well," my dad said, pointing to a chicken on the board with his chin, "Your mom said to fry a spicy chicken to eat, and you and Lingling both like it." ”

"Then we have a mouthful, I'll help you slaughter it."

With that, I picked up the knife and started slaughtering the chicken, and although it was a little difficult for me to make it, it was still okay for me to get the ingredients.

Taking the time, I asked casually: "Dad, Lingling is about to graduate, and the major she studied is good for finding a job, but the general clothing company is actually like that." ”

"Look at herself, it's good for a girl's family to have a decent job, and she doesn't have much to ask for."

I smiled and said, "Dad, in this era, women can hold up half the sky, you must not have this kind of thought, I think Lingling still wants to continue her studies." ”

"Then it's up to her, your mother and I never care about her."

"What if you go abroad for further study?" I continued.

My dad's movements suddenly stopped, then looked at me, frowned, and said, "What? Go abroad? ”

I still showed a relaxed look, smiled and said: "Actually, there is indeed more research on clothing abroad, especially in places like Italy and Milan, otherwise why would the world's largest fashion shows be in these places." ”

My dad grabbed the point and asked, "You mean Lingling wants to study abroad?" ”

"Well," I nodded, and said, "Dad, in fact, I quite support Lingling's decision, she is also a very assertive person, and it is naturally good to have ideas." ”

My dad snorted: "Our China has a history of 5,000 years, and the clothes are worse than those abroad?" You still went to school, don't you know the Silk Road? People abroad also have to buy the fabric of our country. ”

I nodded and said, "You're right, the fabric in our country has never been bad, but Dad, Lingling studied clothing design, not fabric, and our country is really not as good as those countries when it comes to design." ”

"Fart! Our embroidery, not to mention the clothing of ancient times, is now some traditional crafts, will they? ”

My dad is this kind of old thinking, but he is right, but only if these traditional crafts are not widespread and ordinary families cannot afford to consume them.

I continued to patiently explain to my dad: "Dad, I understand what you said, but do you think about the traditional crafts you mentioned, are they really universal? ”

My dad was silent, and then I said, "It's like a song, otherwise those traditional folk songs are not good, and I even think it's magnificent, but you have to admit that pop songs have a wider audience." ”

My dad seemed to ponder for a moment, then calmed down a bit, and said, "But I heard that it is not safe abroad, and she went there alone without relatives and no reason." ”

"It's not those countries in Southeast Asia, Europe is generally quite safe, and Xie Dongqing has acquaintances over there, so he can help out."

My dad said thoughtfully, "Did she think it through? ”

"I think it's okay, I think it's okay, even if she graduates next year, she will only be 22 years old, what can she do with the little things she learned in college."

My dad was not an unreasonable person, and under my explanation, he gradually accepted it.

"It's up to her, if she really wants to go, then go."

I immediately laughed and said, "Then mom, you go and talk about it, it's a good thing, Lingling herself is willing to continue studying, we should all support it." ”

"Okay, I'll tell your mom when I'm free."
