Chapter 235 Chen Shuning and Ma Lanzhi counsel Wang Na
The relationship between Chen Shuning and Guo Junshan has not been finalized yet. Besides, even if it is, Chen Shuning doesn't want to publicize it.
So what she said was very restrained and did not embarrass Xu Qingshan.
But Xu Qingshan didn't give up. He was unwilling to give in and refused to accept the defeat: "Chen Shuning, I'm saying this for your own good! Study hard, and when you get into a university in Beijing, you'll find a partner for anything.
"Guo Junshan is just a small policeman. What can he give you? I'm afraid he can't even afford a house now. What can he do in Beijing with that little salary?"
"Xu Qingshan, I don't think being a policeman is shameful. There's no distinction between high and low professions. What's more, he's serving the people. You shouldn't look down on him!"
Chen Shuning remained rational and said in a deep voice, "You look down on him and think he's a worthless policeman, but what about you? Do you own a house now? Do you have a formal job?"
Chen Shuning's questions were very sharp. She threw every knife that Xu Qingshan threw at Guo Junshan back at Xu Qingshan with incredible precision.
Xu Qingshan was speechless. He was still an educated youth sent to the countryside to work in the fields. To be honest, he was indeed not as good as Guo Junshan. But his family was well-off!
"Yes, I'm not as successful as Guo Junshan right now, but sooner or later, I'll be better off than him!"
Chen Shuning frowned. She couldn't understand why Xu Qingshan said this. She said calmly, "What does that have to do with me?
"What Guo Junshan is like has nothing to do with you. You don't need to criticize what kind of person he is. Similarly, what your future holds has nothing to do with Guo Junshan and me."
Xu Qingshan became more and more angry, but he didn't want to lose his temper in front of Chen Shuning.
Then he thought, once Chen Shuning saw the prosperity of Beijing and knew his family background, he would definitely come back. He suppressed his anger and turned away.
As soon as Xu Qingshan left, Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi walked in step by step with their heads lowered.
Ma Lanzhi raised her head cautiously and saw Chen Shuning's confused face. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for Xu Qingshan. He was really flirting with a blind man.
Wang Na was used to being carefree. She moved closer to Chen Shuning and whispered, "Shuning, we didn't mean to eavesdrop. We came back with Xu Qingshan. We went to the toilet and came back..."
Chen Shuning belatedly asked, "Wang Na, why is Xu Qingshan so strange? He, he can't be..."
Ma Lanzhi rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "You just realized it? I saw it a long time ago. Shuning, you're so smart when you're studying, why are you so slow and stupid when it comes to things like this?"
Chen Shuning's cheeks turned red. Thinking about how Xu Qingshan used to go to their house every day, Chen Shuning felt so embarrassed!
"Lanzhi, no one can be perfect." Chen Shuning said shyly: "Even I can't be without flaws!"
Ma Lanzhi sighed and said, "Alas, if Xu Qingshan hadn't been unable to help himself today, I'm afraid you would never have discovered this secret."
Wang Na, her face full of curiosity, tugged at the corner of Chen Shuning's clothes and asked, "What's going on between you and Officer Guo?"
When Xu Qingshan was mentioned, Chen Shuning was just embarrassed. But when Guo Junshan was mentioned, her cheeks became hot and even redder.
Ma Lanzhi patted Wang Na on the head and said disdainfully, "Look how red Shuning's face is. Do you even need to ask? Don't tell anyone outside. You'll get Shuning in trouble."
"What kind of trouble are you in?" Wang Na said in a low voice, looking nonchalant. "The winds at the top have changed again. I heard they're going to cancel the reform meeting."
"Huh?" Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Really? What about the other policies?"
Ma Lanzhi leaned over to Chen Shuning and whispered, "We were on our way back and heard someone talk about it. I heard they won't be eating from the same pot anymore, but I don't know the details."
Chen Shuning thought about it for a while and warned, "Wang Na, Lanzhi, we can't go out and say anything without the documents from above. If it's not true, we will get into trouble."
Wang Na patted her chest and said, "I definitely won't tell anyone about this! I'm just telling you this, Shuning, I believe you."
Wang Na pulled out an oil-paper bag from her pocket and said, "This is the glutinous rice noodles that Lanzhi and I bought for you. Eat it quickly!"
Chen Shuning didn't bother to be polite with Wang Na. He raised his hand to take the oil-paper package and said with a smile, "Let's eat it together, three of us."
"By the way, how have you been studying these days? I've been there several times. The college entrance exam is almost here, do I still need to go?"
Ma Lanzhi poured half a cup of water from the pot and handed it to Wang Na. She also poured herself a glass of water and said, "This is the last time. You don't need to go again. Just memorize the knowledge points taught by the teacher."
Wang Na sighed and said, "Shuning, the teacher's lectures are too profound. I'm having a hard time learning! I don't think I'll be able to pass the college entrance examination this time."
"If you fail once, there's always next time. Don't give up." Chen Shuning encouraged Wang Na: "Besides, you've worked so hard, you might be able to pass the exam."
Wang Na said weakly, "I hope so..."
Taking the college entrance exam was a sudden decision made by Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi. Although it was hasty, they studied very hard.
They know how valuable college students are. Who would be willing to give up the opportunity to change their destiny?
"Shuning, my family knows I'm going to college." Wang Na said unhappily with a sullen face, "My mother doesn't support me. She says I should consider getting married at my age."
Ma Lanzhi said softly to Chen Shuning, "Shuning, you should try to persuade her! I've been trying to persuade her all day, but it's the same as if I hadn't tried at all. She won't listen to a single word I say."
Chen Shuning took the glutinous rice noodles and looked out the door. After making sure no one was coming, he said, "Wang Na, we only live once, and our destiny can only be controlled by ourselves.
"It's okay to just listen to your family's opinions, but are you willing to live according to their ideas? I can't accept being like my mother, constantly busy with cooking."
Wang Na tugged at her braids and murmured, "But my mom said they all went through this and are doing just fine now."
"Shuning, don't you think she's stubborn?" Ma Lanzhi said angrily, "I've tried so hard for so long, but just because her mother said a few words, she's backing down."
Chen Shuning also felt a headache. Maybe some people enjoyed it, but Chen Shuning couldn't see what fun there was in circling around the stove.
"Wang Na, you can also not take the college entrance examination and listen to your mother and get married and have children soon." Chen Shuning said calmly: "But what about the future? When you are not doing well in the future, will you regret missing this opportunity?"
Wang Na was silent for a long time before she said, "I will! If I don't live well in the future, I will definitely regret not seizing this opportunity.
"Shuning, Lanzhi, thank you both for your help. I don't want to do anything I'll regret, so I'll definitely give it my all on this college entrance exam!"
Seeing that she had finally cheered up, Ma Lanzhi smiled happily and said, "That's right, you and your mother are two independent individuals. You can't let her thoughts influence your decisions."
Chen Shuning added: "Of course, you still have to listen to some advice, and not all the elders' words make sense. The key is to know what you want.
We women tend to be emotional, so no matter what decision we make, we need to calm down first. It's easy to be deceived if we get carried away."
