As expected, the moment Li Yuan spoke, Xia Qin started scolding him from the other end of the line. "Yuan, you worked so hard to get into a prestigious university. How can you not hold a celebration banquet? Our relatives and friends will make us the laughingstock of the town!"
Li Heng chimed in from the side. "Your cousin Gangzi next door only got into a second-tier university last year, and they still threw a grand party. We even gave them a four-hundred-yuan gift! If you don't have a banquet, how will we ever recoup the money from all the gifts we've given out over the years?"
Xia Qin huffed. "Yuan, we'll discuss this when your dad and I get back. Our family may be poor, but we're not so poor that we can't afford to celebrate our son getting into university. Don't you worry about it. Just focus on getting your driver's license. Your dad and I will take the train back tomorrow morning."
