At around six o'clock in the morning, the Xie family had breakfast.
Xie Changrong asked his wife: "Take Yingying to ask your cousin how she is doing?"
Sun Rongfang recalled her experience last night and was unwilling to answer at all.
Seeing his wife's expression, Xie Changrong seemed to have expected it, and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier? If you expect Yingying to be a doctor, it is better to expect our son."
Zhou Ruomei and Ding Ruohai really said this last night, saying that the chance of a woman becoming a surgeon is almost zero. Surgeons sound handsome, but physicians are just like that to ordinary people.
Sun Rongfang picked up her chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat." As she said that, she put another egg in the bowl of her son, who was in elementary school next to her.
Xie Wanying had long been accustomed to the scene in front of her. That year, her mother insisted on having a son regardless of her advanced age, even if she was fined, even if she was dismissed from her job.
The Xie family cannot live without grandchildren, cannot live without men, and cannot live without incense. This is the attitude of her father and the entire Xie family. Her mother can only live in harmony with her husband.
She, Xie Wanying, had received a lot of awards and certificates since elementary school, but all she got in the end was when her father praised her and said at the same time: "It's a pity that she is a girl and has no future."
The problem is that a group of people around her, whether they are colleagues of her parents or relatives and friends, all say this: "It is better to raise a son than to raise a daughter."
Even my aunt and uncle, who are intellectuals, think: "Women cannot hold a scalpel, only men have a chance."
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang. Xie Changrong stood up to answer the phone and said to his wife: "It should be my dad calling."
Grandpa Xie said to his son across the street: "I have inquired and asked Yingying to apply for a normal college. Women are the best teachers."
Hearing this, Xie Changrong became even happier and said to his wishful thinking wife and daughter: "Look, my dad said the same thing."
Sun Rongfang threw away her chopsticks. She was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore and went to the balcony to dry her clothes.
Perhaps her mother once thought about getting rid of all these constraints, but she had no choice but to rely on her daughter, so she bought a bag of Sunkist oranges worth 100 yuan. As a result, her educated cousin also despised women.
After stuffing the bun into her mouth, Xie Wanying picked up her schoolbag, walked to the door of her house, pushed her bicycle, got on it and left.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and the heat is scorching in late June and early July, and the sun is already shining brightly early in the morning. School students ride bicycles to school under the bright sun, and the road is bustling with people. Jinqiao High School where Xie Wanying attends ranks first in Songyuan City.
It was precisely because her daughter was studying in such a good school that Sun Rongfang had a dream for her daughter's future. But Zhou Ruomei's words last night revealed a cruel fact: there is a future.
Songyuan City is not the provincial capital, but a second-rate prefecture-level city in the province. If the top 100 candidates are compared to the entire province, their results will definitely be lowered to a few thousand. The college entrance examination is not just about comparing with candidates in one's own city.
The comparison is compared with candidates across the country.
Even so, what Zhou Ruomei said last night was definitely too much, and she intended to hurt her cousin and her cousin's daughter.
The results of the mock test cannot represent the college entrance examination. Many candidates did well in the mock test, but failed in the college entrance examination. There are also some who were average in the mock test. The college entrance examination suddenly shot up to the sky like a rocket, and their scores exploded.
Xie Wanying recalled her past life. At that time, she was really frightened by her cousin's words, so when she filled in her application, she duly filled in the laboratory technology major of a second-rate medical school.
