In 1977, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, Su Jinyan, passed the exam and was admitted to Peking University in one go. The origin...
The happy weekend passed by in a flash.
Su Jinyan and Zhao Yuanyi felt like newlyweds after a short separation. They were very sweet for two days and were inseparable wherever they went.
She looked at this pretentious man, recalled Zhao Yuanyi's behavior in the village in her mind, and felt that this man was simply a two-faced person.
On Sunday morning, she went to Grandpa Su and Grandma Su's house and gave Grandpa Su the information about Lu Tingting's grandfather and father.
She didn't ask Grandpa to intervene. She first asked Grandpa Su to find out how serious the problem of the Lu family was, whether the people were good or bad, and whether it would affect their family after intervening.
Her first principle is that if she can help, that's the best, but if she can't, she won't force it.
Over the past decade, many bigwigs have been wronged. She likes Lu Tingting's personality very much, so she would help as many people as possible.
What she didn't expect was that Grandpa Lu turned out to be the leader of her uncle's leader. Grandpa and uncle knew everything about the Lu family. Grandpa Lu had a stubborn temper and repeatedly went against the Fourth Gang, blocking the way of others, so he was naturally dealt with.
Now that the revolution is over, some arrogant people are no longer a force to be reckoned with, so it is only a matter of time before Mr. Lu comes back.
Su Jinyan's submission only served the purpose of advancing the task.
But this is a great favor to the Lu family.
Grandpa Su looked through the information, made some revisions, and submitted it that afternoon, awaiting review by the higher authorities.
Grandpa Su is now semi-retired, but his words still carry weight. If he says there is no problem, then there is no problem.
On Sunday evening, Zhao Yuanyi sent Su Jinyan to school before riding his bicycle back to his own school.
This time, Su Jinyan prepared a lot of food for herself and Zhao Yuanyi. She made steamed dumplings stuffed with oil residue and potatoes, steamed dumplings stuffed with beef, sauerkraut and green onions, and three and a half pounds of sweet and sour carp.
Of course, the buns with beef and sauerkraut filling were one third beef and two thirds sauerkraut. She and Zhao Yuanyi each took one portion, leaving one portion for the family.
The Sun family was used to being frugal. Even though the family had everything they needed, they still ate very little oil and water. Their steamed buns were mainly made of cornmeal, with a handful of white flour to make up the difference. When they were not around, they seldom ate meat.
Another thing to be thankful for this week is that after a month of treatment with herbs and spiritual water, Sun's left eye can already see again. She used an eye chart to test and found out that Sun's eyes are equivalent to about 300 degrees of myopia. She can work normally and no longer has tears or pain.
Zhao Zhengjun could walk very fast with the help of crutches and it didn't hurt much anymore. The two men cried when they saw Su Jinyan and thanked her again and again, thinking that she was the lucky star of their Zhao family.
When she left, she replaced the water in the water tanks with spiritual water, and secretly transferred some water from the well in the yard, just hoping that they could get better quickly and be healthier.
She smiled and said nothing. She didn't know if it was a lucky star, but she was confident that she could lead her family to a good life.
"Hey, babies, I'm back!"
Pushing open the dormitory door, Su Jinyan looked at the people in the dormitory. Some were reading, some were chatting, and some were greeting with a smile.
Accustomed to the way people address me, he looked at the confused looks in everyone's eyes and quickly said, "Why, you don't welcome me? I brought you some delicious food.
When Lu Tingting at the door saw Su Jinyan coming back, she put down the book in her hand and looked at her with hope in her eyes.
Su Jinyan nodded secretly, and Lu Tingting suddenly felt like crying.
She could only say "thank you" in her heart. She knew that Su Jinyan was their family's benefactor.
I will write a letter to grandpa and dad later to tell them the good news.
Fang Jing also sat up and said gently, "What are you so happy about?"
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Why are you crying if there's nothing happy? Is returning to the dormitory considered a happy thing? I've missed you guys so much these past two days."
As he spoke, he walked to the table in two or three steps and placed a large bag of things wrapped in a cotton jacket on the table. "Have you all eaten? I brought steamed dumplings and buns. Come and have some."
"Wow, Jinyan, you brought such a big bag of food? I can smell the fragrance!"
Xia Xiaoying stood up, leaned on the big cloth bag, and said exaggeratedly.
Fang Jing smiled and shook her head, "You can keep it for later. It's cold now, so it can be stored."
Su Jinyan threw the spare clothes she brought on the bed and said, "I brought these specially for you, as well as sweet and sour fish. Come on, don't be polite, come and eat. I've been wrapping them in my cotton-padded jacket all the way here, so they're still warm."
Wang Shuhui also sat up and looked at the big bag of food eagerly, with a little embarrassment on her face. After all, she had said bad things about Su Jinyan just two days ago.
Su Jinyan took off his gloves, rubbed his cold hands, then unbuttoned his cotton jacket and cloth bag and took out food from it.
She was worried that the dumplings would not taste good if pressed well, so she put them in a bowl. The sweet and sour fish was made with sweet and sour fish cubes and stir-fried shredded potatoes, which were put in a lunch box and kept intact.
"Come and eat quickly, or it will get cold and won't taste good. Meijun, Lan Ning, Xiaoyan, the three of you hurry up and get out of bed."
Su Jinyan looked at Wang Shuhui who was staring at him eagerly, and smiled slightly, "Shuhui, quickly get the rice bowl and chopsticks."
Several people stopped refusing and got out of bed to get rice bowls and chopsticks.
Su Jinyan took out all the things, a three and a half pound fish that filled four lunch boxes, three lunch boxes of shredded potatoes, thirty large steamed dumplings, and sixteen buns, enough.
"Wow!! This fish looks delicious. Jinyan, is this made by your mother-in-law?"
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, today when I returned to school, my mother-in-law and my husband went to several supply and marketing cooperatives early in the morning to buy it. She said that you girls have to suffer so much to come here from far away to study, so she wanted to supplement you."
It was only during the first week of rest that she started making steamed dumplings with fish and buns, and she didn’t dare put too much meat in the buns.
When she was in junior high and high school in her previous life, every time she returned to school after the holidays, her mother would prepare a big bag of food for her roommates. She said that no matter what time it was, delicious food could always promote relationships.
Houses were in short supply in those days, so for eight people, she only took one fish.
The fish is cheap. If you have a ticket, a fish weighing more than three pounds from the supply and marketing cooperative only costs a little over one yuan, so she doesn't give people the impression that she is a fat sheep.
[Dear children, there will be more later]
