Chapter 830 - 810 Reborn in the Eighties (3)
Mother Ye was originally quite happy, but when she heard Xun Cheng’s tone, the smile on her face stiffened for a moment.
In her eyes, having a high school education was already a remarkable achievement. The reinstatement of the university entrance exams had not been many years ago, and she would not have had her daughters continue their studies if she didn’t think that a bit of learning would raise their prospects in marriage.
But now, hearing Xun Cheng’s tone, why did he seem to look down on women with a high school education?
"Xingxue’s as smart as her grandfather and has always been a top student in her class." Although Mother Ye didn’t much like her daughter, mentioning her eldest daughter’s grades still allowed her to straighten her back with pride.?Yet Xun Cheng had recovered, and his smile returned to his face, "If she wants to continue studying, she should go on."
He said this, but Xun Cheng’s tone had considerably cooled down, and he seemed contemplative.
The two families lived at opposite ends of the village, one at the village head and the other at the tail. After a five-minute walk and a few words, they parted ways.
Xun Cheng then helped his elderly Grandmother Xun back home.
The Xun Family was one of the wealthier families in the village, and many greeted them along the way.
"Auntie, your boy Xun Cheng has really made something of himself. You’ll be living the good life from now on," beamed Grandmother Xun with a smile that wouldn’t close.
When the two of them got home, Xia Hong had just returned with a basin for feeding the chickens.
