Chapter 196: The King's Sisters Return to the Arena
Ever since Aunt Zhong had a conflict with Cai Yunyun over the skit, the two of them have been arguing with each other at home every day.
The parent-child sports meeting brought a brief reconciliation, but after returning home, Cai Yunyun was dissatisfied with everything about Aunt Zhong.
When she was watching a video, she saw a 50-year-old aunt who studied on her own and was admitted to university. She also wanted to inspire Aunt Zhong and hope that her mother would become a successful person.
While others "push their children forward", she "push" her elders forward.
Cai Yunyun held the video in front of Aunt Zhong.
"Mom, look at them. I think you can do it, too."
"The senior citizen university is too unchallenging for you. I will sign you up for the college entrance examination so that you can experience the feeling of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge."
Aunt Zhong rolled her eyes at her and said, "Stop trying to pua me. I'm old, why would I bother with that?"
"You can take the exam yourself. You are still young. If you take the college entrance exam now, you can still catch up with the civil service examination age when you graduate."
Aunt Zhong has become smarter after watching so many short videos, and she can come up with one joke after another.
Cai Yunyun was not surprised that Aunt Zhong would use the word "pua".
Cai Yunyun tried to persuade Aunt Zhong using the same rhetoric used nationwide.
"You just know how to talk back. I will be proud if you pass the exam."
"What light? Do you want a slap?"
"I am your biological daughter, how can I harm you? If you can pass the exam, I will sell everything I have to support your education."
"What can you offer me? You smashed my pots and sold my iron. Why don't I offer you? It's all my money anyway."
Cai Yunyun was choked by Aunt Zhong's words and decided to "seduce" Aunt Zhong from a different angle.
"College students can enjoy a 69% discount at Haidilao. If you pass the exam, I can also benefit from it."
Aunt Zhong smiled politely: "A 69% discount is still expensive. I can't afford it. I don't eat at Haidilao. I go to the river to fish for food."
"I'll enroll you in traditional Chinese medicine. You'll be a qualified traditional Chinese medicine practitioner when you graduate."
"If I were a Chinese medicine doctor, I would first cure your brain. You think about unrealistic things every day."
"It's great for you to go to college at your age. You can get a lot of CVs by submitting your resume. You are a fresh graduate with decades of work experience. HR likes people like you."
"Why are you looking for a job when you have enough money to spend? First, research which school has the most beautiful senior students."
Cai Yunyun was at a loss. Aunt Zhong was too eloquent, and her offense and defense were perfect. She was invulnerable and she couldn't win against her.
So they decided to find someone else and persuade Lao Cai, whose mind was only filled with fishing and her mother.
"Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just too unmotivated."
"Look at yourself in the past few years since you retired. Apart from fishing, you haven't done anything serious."
"I asked you to go to the senior citizen university and gave you a chance to improve yourself, but you refused to do so. If you continue like this, you won't be able to keep up with the pace my mother tells you to do."
"Look at my mom. She's having a great time at the senior citizen university. She's learning to play the piano and sing, and even going to square dance with her sisters. If you don't work harder, you'll have nothing to talk about with my mom."
"People nowadays like older men, not chocolate-covered old men."
Old Cai's eyes were clear and untainted by knowledge, and he asked earnestly, "What should I do to win back your mother's heart?"
"Good question!" Cai Yunyun clapped her hands vigorously and said loudly: "If you go to college, you will be a man."
"That makes sense, but can I do this with only an elementary school diploma?"
"It's never too late to start learning. You're already behind, but fortunately it's not too late. The saying 'the early bird catches the worm' has its truth."
Lao Cai was worried: "You need to earn more money. I heard that university tuition is not cheap."
"You should pass the exam first, otherwise everything will be in vain. When you pass the exam, I will smash my mother's pots and pans to support your education."
After Cai Yunyun finished speaking, she turned to Aunt Zhong and said, "Mom, you see my dad is more ambitious than you. He has goals and dares to think and act. Don't you have anything to say?"
"I suggested that he download the national anti-fraud app. It's too easy to be fooled."
Cai Yunyun let Aunt Zhong go to college more or less as a joke, wanting to see Aunt Zhong suffer a loss. She knew in her heart that her mother was not good at studying.
Otherwise, she would not have taught her niece to count the number of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. The final result was 13.5 chickens and 4.2 rabbits, which taught the child bad habits.
If she could go back to school, Cai Yunyun felt that Aunt Zhong would be more suitable to be an art student, as she was good at music and dance.
It would be fatal if she were asked to attend cultural courses. She signed up for a writing class last semester, but she refused to go this semester no matter what. If she went, the mother-daughter relationship would be severed, and there was nothing she could do.
……
But the "Exam Queen Sisters" Aunt Liang and Aunt Du really wanted to take the exam.
As well-known academic masters in the senior citizens' university, Aunt Liang is a "test master" and Aunt Du is a "paper king".
Aunt Liang has been obsessed with taking exams since she started. She has taken piano and Mandarin certificates, and is also planning to prepare for the teacher qualification exam and computer level 9 exam in September.
Aunt Du is a permanent resident of the library. In half a year, she read more than 100 books in the library, covering a wide range of subjects, including humanities and social sciences.
The most important activity for two people to do together is studying, living a healthy and regular life, immersing themselves in learning for 2 hours, and going out for exercise.
In Aunt Zhong's words, everything they did in one afternoon combined was more than what she did in a week. It would take two days to heal from following them for two hours.
Aunt Liang and Aunt Du discussed taking the college entrance examination.
