Chapter 571 Education and IQ are not proportional
Chapter 571 Education and IQ are not proportional
Zhou Jifan glanced at Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun, who looked innocent, and said in a low voice, "It's actually best for you to stay with your parents. It's also the safest. There's no need to come out and make trouble."
Jiang Lijun was sitting next to Zhou Jifan. When she heard this, she said unconvincedly, "Who are you looking down on? After all, I graduated from Jiaotong University. With this degree, I can find a good job anywhere. Why should I rely on my parents?!"
Zhou Jifan: "Education and IQ are not directly proportional. If you are deceived and sold, even if you have a doctorate, it is useless. The higher the education, the more people will laugh at you."
Jiang Lijun: "..."
Zhou Rong suppressed his laughter and said, "What Ji Fan said is not without reason. The society is dangerous. You two are simple-minded and are not suitable for venturing out. Just play in Pengcheng for two days and then go back."
Jiang Lijun: "I don't want to go back! If I go back, my mom and grandma will keep showing me all kinds of gay information. If I like one, they will arrange a date. I hate having everything arranged for me and being manipulated by them like a puppet.
I want to choose my own partner, find a job, and live the life I want!"
Jiang Lijun had a boyfriend when she was in college. The boy was studious and good-looking, but his only shortcoming was that he had a family that was a burden to him.
Both of his parents were educated youth sent to the countryside. His father is a native of Shanghai, while his mother is from another place. They do not meet the policy of returning to Shanghai at the same time, so in order to keep the family together, they still live in the countryside.
The boy was the eldest son in the family, with a younger brother and sister. He failed to get into secondary technical school or university, and did not dare to do business, so he worked as a farmer in the countryside.
Since he was a child, his parents told him that as the eldest brother, he should be filial to his parents, take care of his younger siblings, and take responsibility for supporting the family.
After he was admitted to university, his parents would send him a letter every two weeks to remind him of this, hoping that he could find a way to move the family's household registration back to Shanghai.
As a student, what can he do?
The boy was very worried about this issue. When he was dating Jiang Lijun, he told her the truth about his family situation and asked if Jiang Lijun had any connections who could help.
Jiang Lijun only said that her mother worked at the Jiangcheng Taxation Bureau, but did not mention her father's position, indicating that her family had no connections in Shanghai. The boy then stopped mentioning the matter and reduced the number of times he dated Jiang Lijun, saying that he was busy with his studies.
As soon as Jiang Lijun started dating someone, she told her family about his situation. She thought her loving parents and grandparents would approve of them being together, but she didn't expect to be collectively opposed.
Everyone's reasons were almost the same. They all said that the man's family background was not good and that Jiang Lijun would suffer endlessly if she married him.
Jiang Yiming also didn't want Jiang Lijun to marry far away, so he asked her to break up immediately.
Jiang Lijun was reluctant at first, so Jiang Yiming gave Jiang Jiawen a task, asking him to find a way to break up the two. If he failed, he would be sent to the army for two years of training.
Jiang Jiawen didn't want to suffer in the army, so he had to accept his father's mission, and then he sowed discord and framed Jiang Lijun and the boy, so that they hated each other and soon separated...
After the breakup, Jiang Lijun calmed down for a few days and recalled everything that had happened. She realized that it was Jiang Jiawen who was behind it. She forced him to tell her why he wanted to harm her, and if he didn't tell the truth, she would never talk to him again.
Jiang Jiawen didn't want to take the blame, so he turned his father over and persuaded Jiang Lijun that her family was doing this for her own good.
They broke up, and the boy seemed to have found a new girlfriend. Jiang Lijun had nothing to say, but she was very unhappy. She felt that her family interfered too much and she had no freedom at all. She was increasingly thinking about defecting.
The job arrangement after graduation and the blind date introduced by her family made her more and more rebellious. Now that she has finally gotten rid of the control of her parents and grandparents, she said she would never go back...
Zhou Cai went to visit Zhou Rong during the Chinese New Year and mentioned Jiang Lijun when chatting with her.
Zhou Rong understood Jiang Lijun’s psychology. Who hasn’t been rebellious when they were young?
Zhou Rong: "When you and Jiawen were born, the world was in turmoil. Your father was out on a mission and your mother gave birth to you in the countryside. The conditions in the countryside were tough at the time and your mother almost didn't make it. She survived a life-threatening situation to give birth to you.
A woman who had just given birth had to feed two children at the same time. She couldn't buy food even if she had money outside. Do you know how difficult it was back then?
Your mother has become skin and bones in order to feed you. When she rarely gets any food, she always gives you food first.
Your father, while carrying out dangerous missions, was always worried about whether you had enough milk. He was such a proud man, but he begged people for help everywhere in order to get two cans of milk powder for you.
No matter what you think in your heart, you should not hurt their feelings because of the grace of giving birth to you.
I believe that no matter what your parents do, their starting point is for your own good. Maybe there are some things that they did not explain clearly to you, which led to misunderstandings.
How about finding a time to sit down and have a good chat with them, telling them your true thoughts, and everyone choosing a compromise solution to make everyone happy? "
No one had ever told Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun how hard it was for Zhou Cai to give birth. They also didn't know that their father, who was always so arrogant, would beg for two cans of milk powder.
Ever since they can remember, it seemed that their family had never lacked food and drink. They had whatever they wanted, and even their teachers and classmates were polite to them.
It turns out that mom and dad have given so much for them behind the scenes.
Jiang Jiawen said guiltily: "Aunt, thank you for telling us this. I will call home later and tell my parents not to worry. I will be back in a few days."
Jiang Lijun whispered, "Everyone says that Xiangjiang is fun. I finally came to Pengcheng. Can I go to Xiangjiang for a trip before going back?"
Zhou Rong: "Okay, you guys report to your family first, and then help me deal with the chores at the factory. After you're done, we'll go to Hong Kong together.
Your grandparents have never been to Hong Kong, so it's a good opportunity to take them there together."
Jiang Lijun: “Okay!”
After dinner, Jiang Jiawen called home.
Zhou Cai was not in the mood to work, so she took a day off and stayed at home. She received a call from Jiang Jiawen and learned that he and Jiang Lijun were safe. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked when they would return home.
Jiang Jiawen: "Mom, my aunt is a little busy at the factory. Let's help her deal with some chores, and then accompany grandpa and grandma to Xiangjiang for a tour and then go back."
After the two of them "ran away from home", Zhou Cai realized that there was something wrong with her way of parenting. She wanted to ask them to come back immediately, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
"Over there, follow your aunt's arrangements. Don't run around. If you have any ideas, tell me or your aunt, okay?"
Jiang Jiawen: "I know. We will listen to Auntie. Don't worry. Auntie has told us a lot about what happened before. Thank you, Mom! Please say thank you to Dad for us too."
Zhou Cai was stunned, not understanding how her rebellious little son could suddenly become sensible and even say thank you to her. She guessed that Zhou Ronghe and the other two must have said something to cause this.
My eldest sister is indeed the pillar of the family. There is nothing she cannot handle. I will thank her later...
