sir, let's get a divorce

Chapter 42 Deciding to retake the college entrance examination and moths to the flame
The next day, Wen Yan got up early to go to the market.

After buying a lot of things in a hurry, it suddenly occurred to her that...the breakfast shop she sublet still has a lot of materials in stock. Why would she need to spend money to buy them?

"I've been taken advantage of, I've been taken advantage of..." Wen Yan muttered as he moved all the things into the kitchen of Karissa's house.

Before Xu Chang came out of the guest room fully dressed, he heard people moving things while chanting like sutras: "Where did you get so many things... Oh dear, this fritters are only available at five or six in the morning." Come out to sell for an hour, and it will be gone if it is late, are you out shopping early in the morning?"

"Hmm... buy some ingredients." Wen Yan chuckled: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, I plan to prepare some gifts in advance, so I can give it to you, teacher."

Xu Changwei snorted twice: "I believe there are ghosts!"

It's not April yet, and it's still far away from the Dragon Boat Festival!
"I went out to buy breakfast..." Xu Changwei said.

Wen Yan was stunned for a while, then blinked: "Didn't I buy it?"

"Kalissa said that I want to eat fried dough sticks today, but you only have fried dough sticks and no fried dough sticks!" Xu Changwei raised his head arrogantly, like a rooster proudly patrolling his territory, and swaggered away.

Wen Yan: ...

An old man in love is really scary!
She shook her head, went into the kitchen and found the salted duck eggs that Xu Chang hadn't mentioned, and picked up ten spare eggs.

The Dragon Boat Festival is indeed approaching, even if there are still two months, it will come before the Mid-Autumn Festival!
So, she made moon cakes first.

Bean paste and egg yolk filling.

She didn't start washing the zongzi leaves until the moon cakes were shaped into molds and placed in the oven to set the time.

The glutinous rice was soaked in advance before going out. There is not a lot of glutinous rice at home, and it is estimated that only about [-] small rice dumplings can be made, so she didn’t get so many salted egg yolks. She planned to make some bean paste rice dumplings in addition to the egg yolk rice dumplings. White rice dumpling and sweet jujube dumpling.

When Xu Chang didn't come back, he saw her making zongzi: "Oh, you're really celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Make some to taste. If it's okay, you don't need to buy it during the festival." Wen Yan said vaguely.

Xu Changwei didn't care about the truth of what she said, and went to the kitchen with the fried dough sticks, instructing others: "Go and call Karissa to come down for dinner."

The hero who is just like a pie.

Wen Yan snorted, and unconvinced, went upstairs to call for someone.

When Carissa came down, she was surprised to see a pile of things on the kitchen table: "What's going on? My dear, why are there so many breakfasts on the table, and what is this green corner bag?" ?”

She pointed to the zongzi and asked Wen Yan.

"It's zongzi!" Wen Yan smiled and introduced the zongzi culture: "Once upon a time there was a man..."

Her colleagues talked about Qu Yuan's throwing into the river, and also talked about the traditional Dragon Boat Festival customs. Hearing that, Kalisa was so excited that she immediately forgot about the fried dough sticks and insisted on cooking rice dumplings.

Xu Changwei would stare at Wenyan from time to time, full of murderous intent.

Wen Yan said: "It took a long time to cook these rice dumplings... Besides, I bought a lot of breakfast in the morning. Look at the deep-fried dough sticks, burnt rings and tofu nao?"

Xu Changwei stared aside.

She hurriedly said: "And teacher, he just went out and bought you fried dough sticks with rose frosting sugar."

Karissa glanced at the fried food on the table, and finally returned to the rice dumplings.

"Let's eat earlier at noon, and then I'll cook rice dumplings for you, okay? You see, this is white rice dumpling, it will taste better after it's cooled and sprinkled with honey! I just bought rose honey, aren't you the most Do you like the taste?"

Wen Yan was persuasive: "And I made mooncakes in the oven... eh! My mooncakes!"

She screamed and ran to the kitchen, and at the same time, she did not forget to wink at Xu Changwei: Teacher, I leave it to you!It's time to show off your beauty tricks!
Xu Changwei, who understood, glared at him.

When Wen Yan came out with the mooncakes, he saw Xu Changwei was unprincipled and picked up two zongzi to cook.

She hurriedly snatched the zongzi back, with a fierce look on her face: "No way! When I eat zongzi next time, all these breakfasts will be wasted!"

Wen Yan took a special look at Xu Changwei: "Especially, the things you bought, teacher, have obviously seriously exceeded the appetite of the three of us!"

She stared at the two of them back and forth, speaking very righteously: "You two are quite old people, and you have come from hard times, you should understand that food is hard to come by, and you should be diligent and thrifty! Don't think that if you are full now, you can waste food if you eat well!"

Karissa shrank her neck slightly, and exchanged eyes with Xu Changwei.

"I said I'll have lunch at noon, so hurry over to eat now!" Wen Yan pretended not to see the two people's eye contact, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.

She put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and put away all the disposable chopsticks: "Disposable tableware is not allowed at home! If it is to prevent personal hygiene problems, then each person has a set of bowls and chopsticks. When the time comes Everyone mark it, clean it up after use and put it in a dedicated place!”

"Little housekeeper..." Xu Changwei secretly whispered to Karissa.

Karissa snorted: "What do you know, Yan Baoer is called to have the foresight and support the sustainable development strategy!"

"Hey..." Xu Changwei looked at the person: "In the end, am I the only one who is a villain?"

Karissa snorted, "You still have self-knowledge!"

The two of them bickered back and forth for a while, and finally Karissa snorted and stopped talking to her.

After all, there were still some leftovers for breakfast, but fortunately there were only a few fried dough sticks left, Wen Yan said: "I'll make maocai in the evening, let's soak fried dough sticks and eat!"

She tidied up and made arrangements for dinner.

Both Karissa and Xu Changwei have no objection.

Before Xu Chang helped clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, Karissa pestered others to learn how to make zongzi, and even tasted half a mooncake, clapping her hands happily: "This is delicious! If it's stuffed with roses, It's even more romantic!"

"Then I'll make you flower cakes later!"

Wen Yan smiled, and chatted with him while correcting the way he made zongzi.

Xu Changwei, who had just finished washing the dishes, took a dry towel and walked over to look at the person while wiping his hands, with a serious look on his face: "What I told you before, you should think about it carefully, while it's still early, Make a decision as soon as possible!"

"what's up?"

Wen Yan froze for a moment, his whole body was immersed in making zongzi, and his reaction was a bit slow.

"The re-entry exam!" Xu Changwei sighed helplessly, "Think about it for yourself, the time you need to study in this correspondence class is actually not too different from the time you need to re-enter the college entrance exam!"

He said earnestly: "If you have your own job now and you need to work from [-] to [-], or even later, I won't advise you to take the college entrance examination again, I think it's a good deal for you to take a correspondence class! It’s different from your current situation, but you have free working hours, it’s better to take the college entrance examination again, so that even if you go to university in the future, it will not affect your current translation work, why not do it?”

Wen Yan pursed his lips slightly.

The action of making zongzi in her hand paused: "I will think about it carefully."

After that, I inevitably started to get distracted.

in fact……

To be honest, it's not that she doesn't want to take the college entrance examination again, but she just thinks such a thing is too difficult.

It is true that she is a bit of an interpreter, but it is true that she has never been to school!

Her ability now is due to the fact that she lived with her father in Suzhou when she was young, and because of the influence of the language environment at that time, her Chinese and Russian bilingual skills can be used in translation, writing and daily communication. This should be considered a life skill.

After all, no matter in a foreign country or in the place where one’s native language originated, language communication is an innate skill, which means that if you have no problem with your sanity, you will always have a way to communicate with others... Even if you are a fool, it’s the same There will be a way to express your thoughts and desires!

Even other animals have their own way of communication, and the fact that she can speak two languages ​​doesn't mean she's smart...

Moreover, Dad taught her some math problems, which were super difficult!

Not to mention those physical chemistry, it is purely those formulas and theorems who know her, she doesn't know the formulas and theorems at all...

She didn't have the courage to retake the college entrance examination, although she wanted to.

As for historical geography, it doesn’t mean that it is easy to belong to the liberal arts...

Anyway, she often looks at geography and her head hurts, and history is the same!

And it seems that in 03 there was no division of arts and sciences, and she didn't really remember the specific implementation time. She only remembered that in 3, it should still be a [-]+X model...

She didn't know exactly what it was. If she really wanted to take the college entrance examination again, she might have to look up relevant information.

In case she is catching up with no division of subjects, she doesn't know if a little more than a year will be enough to study the comprehensive papers of liberal arts and comprehensive sciences.

The more he thought about it, the more Wen Yan felt a headache, so he decided not to make zongzi. He greeted Karissa to check the specific information of the college entrance examination.

No matter whether she wants to take the college entrance examination again, she must first understand the relevant policies before making a decision...

Seeing Ren walking away preoccupied, Karissa couldn't help but stare at Xu Changwei: "What are you doing to put so much pressure on her? Yan Baoer is not happy anymore!"

"Aren't I also doing this for her own good?" Xu Changwei subconsciously said.

Carissa snorted: "I heard from Yan Baoer's father that the parents who usually like to say the words 'I'm for your own good' are just habitual. , habits, thoughts, to bind children’s creativity and infinite possibilities! It’s hard to say whether they are really for the children’s good, but they will definitely cause a lot of psychological pressure on the children, and it is easy for the children to have a kind of guilt."

Xu Changwei: ...

"If your child's thoughts and thinking are on the same line as yours, it's okay to say, in case the two of you have different ideas, or there is a gap between the times, so that there are arguments and stubbornness that cannot resonate, you give the child The resulting sense of guilt will only make the child more rebellious or... more inferior!"

Carissa looked like I understand the parenting scriptures very well.

Xu Changwei: ...

"Others are Ma Baoer's boy and Dad's girl. You're good, Yan Baoer's father said Yan Baoer's father, Yan Baoer's father said... the whole Yanbaoer's father and daughter!"

He was angry and helpless.

"But you can't deny that what Yan Bao'er's father said makes sense!" Carissa clenched her fists and showed her face unabashedly: You dare to say that it doesn't make sense, try a few words.

Xu Changwei could only sigh and said, "I don't want to make her feel guilty, nor do I want to put pressure on her, you tell her, even if she wants to finish the correspondence class, then she can think about it, or after finishing the correspondence class It’s fine to take the postgraduate entrance examination directly, as long as she feels happy, no matter what kind of decision she makes, I will support her unconditionally!”

He said: "I told her to retake the college entrance examination, just to provide her with one more choice. She doesn't have to make things difficult for herself and put too much pressure on herself!"

"That sounds like human talk!" Carissa snorted, washed her hands, wiped them on the towel, and rubbed her apron twice before taking off her apron and going upstairs.

Xu Changwei sighed helplessly as he looked at the person's back.

he may...

Even if he spends his whole life, he can't replace that guy Wen's position in Karissa, let alone eliminate the deep-rooted influence of that person on Karissa.

"King Xiang is interested, Goddess has no intention!" He shook his head and sighed.

Even on the way to work, I couldn't help but think indignantly: "What kind of enmity did I have with that guy in the past, why did I finally have a proud disciple, but it's his daughter?"

However, after Karissa conveyed Xu Changwei's words, Wen Yan resolutely chose to take the college entrance examination again.

"I made a decision!"

Her eyes became firm in an instant: "I can't avoid facing difficulties just because there are difficulties! There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up... No, as long as you don't give up! Even if I don't pass the exam next year, or my grades are too poor I couldn’t get into a very good school, after all, I have worked hard! Besides, if I fail once, I will succeed twice! The worst result is that I graduated from the correspondence class and failed to take the college entrance examination again!”

Anyway, she is now a social idler, the most is time!

"I am also like Xu Changwei. No matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally. Just do it with confidence, my dear!" Carissa said with a loving smile.

Wen Yan rushed over to give him a hug.

She said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Mom!"

Carissa liked to hear the word "Mom" very much, and her heart immediately became elated.

Wen Yanwei bit her lower lip, and after a while she couldn't help but ask, "Will you be with the teacher?"

"Of course not!" Carissa denied without thinking.

Seeing Wen Yan's face, I don't believe it, you lied to me, she smiled helplessly: "He is very good! But he is not my type!"

"Then what type do you like? Dad's type?"

"Of course!"

When Karissa mentioned Wen Yan's father, her eyes would always become gentle: "I like him very much! I like him desperately! I like him like a moth to a flame!"

Moths, flames?
Wen Yan was slightly surprised by this word.

How does this sound...a bit like unrequited love?
