Chapter 548: Persuade Zhou Yan (1/3)
"Sister Ran Ran, I looked like you all the way, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Zhou Yan is also in her third year of high school this year. A big family has two college students, Sister Ran Ran and Brother Lei Lei, and she is still under great pressure to enter a higher education.
"You also plan to go to the trade market."
Mei Xiaoran and Zhou Yan walked side by side, and suddenly realized that her little cousin had grown up too.
Although Zhou Yan's height is not as tall as her, it is also beyond her ears.
Zhou Yan is only two years younger than her and one year younger than Leilei. She is also seventeen years old this year, and she will be eighteen after the new year.
Mei Xiaoran looks pretty and pretty, but in this high-valued family, she can only make a bottom line.
It was Zhou Yan who didn't open it long before, but now Zhou Yan has it open, it's also quite beautiful.
It’s said that Mei Xiaoran’s skin is white, but Zhou Yan is actually whiter than Mei Xiaoran, but people’s aesthetics in that era are not much the same as that of later generations. People generally like Mei Xiaoran’s white and red skin instead of Zhou Yan is such a cold white skin.
Zhou Yan also has a round face and big eyes, but the bridge of her nose is not too high. But her face plate looks like her milk, bigger than Mei Xiaoran's face plate, and looks a little dull.
However, in the 1980s, the public still liked thick eyebrows, big eyes, and round faces.
Zhou Yan's appearance is very much in line with the characteristics of the times, and it is the kind of little beauty that the public likes. Mei Xiaoran has smaller eyes than her cousin, with a small round face, but her facial features are more three-dimensional. This appearance was not only popular in the 1980s, but also a temperament in later generations. Both of their cousins are not the kind of Internet celebrities of later generations, but they all have the characteristics of the times, and they are also beautiful and distinctive.
"Zhou Yan, you are now in your third year of high school, what's the matter, is there any pressure in your studies?"
"Definitely, you and Lei Lei are the two of you. To me, they are two big mountains."
Zhou Yan is not the kind of girl who doesn't like to learn, but she belongs to the one who doesn't have the kind of learning skills, so she is bored to learn. In her studies, she worked very hard, but every time her exam results came out, she was unsatisfactory.
"Zhou Yan, you can't think so. Lei Lei and I are just accidents. You can rely on your own ability to get what you can get in the exam. Don't force yourself or let yourself down."
Mei Xiaoran knew that this kind of persuasion seemed very pale.
It's a bit of a backache to stand and talk, but everyone's aptitude is different.
In terms of learning, some people are smart but don't like to learn and don't have access to knowledge. Once this type of people become more knowledgeable and know the importance of learning, they can work hard to become stronger. She and Lei Lei actually fall into this category. But Zhou Yan is obviously not like this. Zhou Yan is a person who is not talented in learning. Although she works very hard in her study, she has done more work than others. The kind of work she has done in elementary and junior high school is because of the knowledge she has learned. Relatively simple, through her efforts will be rewarded accordingly. However, after entering high school, the knowledge of learning has increased, and the difficulty has also increased. You must learn on the basis of understanding to make progress... Obviously with Zhou Yan's learning method, it is equivalent to no entry, and rote memorization of liberal arts. It may be a little better, but when it comes to science, there is no advantage at all.
Zhou Yan was a little anxious when she heard her say this, "Sister Ran Ran, I want to do this too, but you have all been admitted to the university. If you don't, everyone will definitely say me."
"I'm talking about not letting you put so much pressure on yourself. I don't want you to stay up late every night and it is not efficient... I guess you must stay up late? But after you stay up late, how do you feel about the results of your study this evening?"
Zhou Yan didn't speak anymore. What hers was that the actual situation was really what Mei Xiaoran said, she paid a lot, but the result was hard to say.
"Zhou Yan, don't be afraid that you won't go to school, just think, you do your best to master what you should master, understand what you should understand, and that's it."
Zhou Yan's eyes widened unbelievably, "Is this all right?"
"This can't work, what do you think? I think you can make progress if you don't know what you don't know. Although you stay up late every night and pay more for your studies than others, you should not be able to do it in the end. Not yet. I'll say you don't like to listen. You are now looking like you are studying very hard, but you know whether you have learned it or not. You know better than anyone else."
Zhou Yan blushed: "Sister Ran Ran, you are right. I was afraid that others would say that I didn’t work hard, so I forced myself to stay up late to study, but in reality, I also know myself.
Did not learn at all. "
"First get to know what you don't know, so you won't be so passive in your studies. Listen to my sister, don't think about going to college, just think about learning what you don't know."
After Mei Xiaoran's persuasion, Zhou Yan felt much better. What she was most worried about before was that she was afraid that others would say she didn't need to work. Now that Mei Xiaoran said this, she was relieved.
The two came to the trade market together.
The business of Li Mingqin's cloth shop is not as good as before, probably because the goods are becoming more and more abundant, the good-looking clothes are not expensive, and there are fewer people who make their own clothes. But after Li Mingyun's order, Li Mingqin now sells his pants.
The style of trousers is relatively simple, relatively not easily outdated, more practical than clothes, and more suitable for people like Li Mingqin who have no vision to purchase.
Mei Xiaoran saw that his second uncle Zhou Jincheng was also helping in the store.
The construction team has almost nothing to live in in winter. After all, it is cold and the house is not easy to build. Even if it is built, it will not be easy to dry... The construction team has a holiday at this time each year, and it starts to get busy when the spring starts.
"Second aunt, second uncle."
Li Mingqin and Zhou Jincheng were extremely happy to see Mei Xiaoran back.
"Ran Ran came back early this year. I remember you didn't come back until the 27th last year."
"Yes, the store over there is sold out."
I haven't seen my second aunt's family for several months, and I don't know whether it was Mei Xiaoran who grew up or something else. She felt that my second aunt and second uncle looked younger than the previous two years.
The second uncle used to be very thin and skinny, now there is meat on his face, and the skin looks whiter... Zhou Yan just followed the cold white skin of the second uncle.
The second aunt didn't know how to dress up before, and was always laughed at for being rustic, but now it seems that she is not rustic at all, and even a little foreign.
Of course, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and when they are rich, they will naturally dress themselves up. They dress stylishly, and people also dress beautifully.
Now that the second aunt and the second uncle have money in their hands, they must be more willing to eat, drink and dress than before, and natural people look glamorous.
Mei Xiaoran was talking to her second aunt, and she was seen by some old neighbors near the store, and someone joked: "Oh, the college student is back."
