After dinner, the grandparents stayed home with the children to practice calligraphy, while Yu Yin and Lu Shurui went to school for a class meeting.

Following the address, Yu Yin arrived at their accounting class classroom.

Quite a few people had already arrived in the classroom, including their roommates.

"Yu Yin, over here." It was Qi Wei, the eldest sister in the dormitory. Because they were from the same hometown, Yu Yin remembered her well, but she hadn't quite recognized the others yet.

"How many people are in our class? It seems like there are more boys than girls." Yu Yin looked around and realized that apart from the eight people in her dorm, there weren't many girls left.

"There are forty people, 14 of whom are girls, and the other dormitory is mixed."

"You're really well-informed!" Yu Yin was genuinely impressed. She had learned about the class's affairs so quickly, while she couldn't even remember all the people in her dormitory.

"It's just a personal hobby, Yu Yin. You don't forget who I am, do you?"

Yu Yin was a little embarrassed, as she really didn't know the woman's name. "Haha, well, I have face blindness. I can only remember faces after knowing someone for a long time and getting to know them well," Yu Yin said, offering an unverifiable reason.

"Really? I've never heard of that before. You're not just kidding me, are you?"

Without batting an eye, Yu Yin made up a story: "Little sister, I'm almost thirty this year, how can I flatter you? Little sister, what should I call you? After getting to know each other like this, maybe I'll remember you tomorrow."

"Zheng Yue".

"Ah, she's a girl from the grasslands?" Yu Yin remembered. When she introduced her yesterday, she was thinking that she could ask her to help buy beef jerky in the future, but the person and the name didn't match up.

"You really do have face blindness. You remember the name, but not the face!" Zheng Yue was starting to believe Yu Yin's words.

Yu Yin was secretly pleased; her sister had remembered the beef jerky!

"Yu Yin, look! It's Chen Siting, the mysterious beauty in our dorm!" Zheng Yue pulled Yu Yin and gestured for her to look towards the door.

Well, it's quite impressive. She's as tall and sculpted as a model, with big, bright eyes that don't reveal much emotion.

She had long, flowing hair without any adornment, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she was slightly pale; she was a cold beauty.

Without exchanging pleasantries with anyone, I walked to the back and sat down alone, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away, thinking it had little to do with her.

Just then, the homeroom teacher came in.

He was in his fifties, with some gray hair and a slightly hunched back; one wonders what he had been through in the past ten years.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm your homeroom teacher for the next four years. My surname is Wu, you can just call me Teacher Wu." Teacher Wu's words were concise, as if she didn't want to have too much interaction with the students.

"The main task of today's class meeting is to elect class officers. Anyone who has ideas can come up on stage to run, and the one with the most votes wins."

Teacher Wu got straight to the point, stating that the only way to elect class officers was by voting.

The first person to be elected is the class monitor.

A man in his thirties went up first and began his campaign speech.

"My name is Zhao Lei, I come from Shandong, and I am a veteran. I used to work as a member of the factory committee and organized many activities. I am confident that I can do a good job as a squad leader and make progress together with everyone in our future studies and life."

Zhao Lei, as expected of someone who had served in the military, stood there with his body ramrod straight, and you could see the marks of his time as a soldier in every gesture.

There were no fancy words, just straightforward talk; he finished speaking and then left.

Next, a few more students went up, but overall, Zhao Lei was the one who left the deepest impression.

As Yu Yin had predicted, Zhao Lei was elected with an overwhelming number of votes.

The Youth League branch secretary was Qi Wei, who was in their dormitory. This girl used to be a member of the Youth League Committee in the factory, so she knew a lot about things and spoke very eloquently.

Yu Yin hadn't considered running for class officer. With four children in her family, she didn't have the extra time and energy to devote to it; the children needed her company more.

Gradually, the other class officers were also appointed, and there were no more from their dormitory.

Finally, the class monitor organized the male students to move the books. After distributing the books, everything was fine. They copied the class schedule, and classes officially started tomorrow.

The situation is similar for Lu Shurui.

They are majoring in mechanical dynamics. There are forty people in one class, all of them are male, and there are no female students.

It is said that there are only three female students in their entire department.

Lu Shurui didn't plan to run for class officer. He was considered the oldest in the class, with the youngest being only 17 years old, almost like an uncle.

Their homeroom teacher was a humorous old man with a pair of small eyes that gleamed with intelligence. Lu Shurui noticed that his palms were covered in calluses.

This is another old man with a story, and also an old man with a strong heart!

When Yin and the other girl met, it was almost eight o'clock. They didn't say much and hurried home.

Once inside the alley, you can see the dim light emanating from the windows on the second floor in the distance.

They pushed open the gate, locked it, and went inside.

There was no one in the living room; Grandpa and Grandma must be resting.

I turned off the lights and quietly went upstairs to the second floor.

"Mom, you're back?"

Pingping opened the door and greeted her parents.

"You're back. Are your younger siblings asleep?" No other children came out, so they must all be asleep.

"Yes, they're all asleep. They washed their feet and faces. Mom and Dad, you should go to sleep too." Pingping told his parents about his younger siblings, wanting to reassure them that he was a thoughtful child.

"Okay, Mom and Dad know. Thank you, Pingping, for taking care of your younger siblings. Go to sleep now, you have school tomorrow." Yu Yin walked over and gently kissed Pingping's forehead.

Pingping smiled shyly, turned around and went into the house to sleep, but Yu Yin still caught the fleeting smile on Pingping's face.

“Our children are all outstanding, which is our good fortune. What we need to do is spend more time with them. Childhood only comes once; once it's missed, it will never come back.”

Yu Yin and Lu Shurui spoke quietly, hoping to work together to give their child a healthy and happy childhood.

The first class meeting in college came to an end, and Yu Yin and Lu Shurui gained some understanding of their classmates and teachers through this meeting.

Decades later, people still have deep feelings when they talk about the 1977 college entrance examination.

The graduates of those classes achieved great success decades later, including outstanding entrepreneurs, political stars, and many other prominent figures.

Yu Yin didn't understand. Her personality wasn't what you'd call a social bully. She never thought about becoming the richest person or being particularly powerful. What she always wanted was simple: for her family to live in harmony and for them to have a comfortable life.

Lu Shurui has a scholarly nature and lower demands for material things.

Regarding interpersonal relationships, the two of them adhere to the principle of letting things take their natural course: if they get along, they stay together; if they don't, they part ways.

I don't think about making friends intentionally to build so-called connections or circles; it's too tiring.

Having been reborn, Yu Yin didn't aspire to become a powerful figure. She simply wanted to raise her children well, provide them with a relatively good platform, and allow them the freedom to choose their own lives without being influenced by too many external factors.

Sigh, I'm overthinking things. My mind is all jumbled up. Plans can't keep up with changes. Let's just focus on the present!

Yu Yin turned over and fell asleep.
