Aunt Xiumei rolled her eyes at her when she heard this. Seeing her curled up like a quail, she felt so angry that she had nowhere to vent. She dropped the rag in her hand and went out.

The family waited for Sheng Yanchuan to give An Guo a bath before sitting down to eat.

During the meal, the three little ones sat close together. Xiaoguo took a bite and looked at his sister. The meal was rare and quiet.

After lunch, the family sat in the main room and chatted. This time, Sheng Yanchuan spoke up.

"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me," Aunt Xiumei asked while holding Anran in her arms without raising her head.

"Qiaoqiao and I are going to take the college entrance examination this year, and we're going to apply to a university in Shanghai." Sheng Yanchuan's words were like thunder in a clear sky, silencing everyone in the room.

They also knew that the quarrels these days were all about the resumption of the college entrance examination, but they never expected Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan to participate. They already have two children, so why do they have to go back to school? The Sheng family couldn't understand it.

"College entrance exam? What about the child?" Aunt Xiumei asked nervously.

"We will take them with us. There won't be many courses in college. We can go home when we don't have classes. We will send Xiaoran and Xiaoche to school in a year or two."

"Can't you leave the child at home? Your father and I will take care of him for you." Aunt Xiumei looked reluctant and tried to ask

"Mom, the education in Shanghai is good, it's good for the children, and we don't want to be separated from the children." Sheng Yanchuan said firmly, but Aunt Xiumei refused to give up.

"Then...what about you guys when you're in school? Qiaoqiao's parents both have jobs, so how can they watch over you?"

"Aunt Zhou can come with us then. She has been taking care of the children when we were busy over the years. There will be no problem."

Without waiting for Aunt Xiumei to say anything, Huiping's eyes rolled when she heard it, and she quickly interrupted, "Aunt Zhou is an outsider after all, so why don't I go? I'll take Yaya and Xiaoguo with me and look after your children and cook for you. We're all family, so I can rest assured. I don't want a salary, just provide me with food and accommodation, and I'll be fine as long as I can send the children to school."

"Don't make trouble." Aunt Xiumei kicked Huiping's stool, still unwilling on her face. Huiping was kicked and calmed down. However, the more she thought about what she had just said, the more reliable it seemed.

"Mom, I've thought about this question too. Yanchuan and I are going to start some small business. If we do well, I hope you two can come and help us," Nanqiao said with a smile. After 1977, although everything is developing at an accelerated pace, the two places are still too far apart, and it's not convenient to go back and forth to visit relatives. If they are willing to come to Shanghai with us, Nanqiao naturally doesn't mind, after all, they are Sheng Yanchuan's parents. However, the eldest couple of the Sheng family is another story.

"Mom won't go with you to join in the fun. Nian has gone there and hasn't settled down yet. If we go with you, won't we just cause trouble? Besides, if we all go, we won't be able to make money, and what about the land at home? At least we don't have to worry about food and drink here." At present, all the shops are state-owned. Even if the state is not strict, Aunt Xiumei knows that doing business is not that easy. Yesterday, everyone was shouting and banning things. Today, it is said that it is open. How many people can accept it?

"We'll talk about the future later. When we both make a lot of money, we can take you over," Nanqiao said with a smile, not forcing him.

"Okay, since you two have made up your mind, then your parents won't stop you. If you have the chance, bring the kids back more often." Aunt Xiumei's eyes were red as she spoke. She remembered that the newspaper said that the exam would be in November. Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao were smart, so they would definitely pass the exam. So, by that calculation, they could only stay for three or two months at most.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we will come back when we have the chance. You can also come to Shanghai to find us when the time comes. We have a home there too," Sheng Yanchuan said, with some reluctance in his words.

In fact, he didn't care much about the college entrance examination. He originally wanted Nanqiao to go to school and he would concentrate on his business. But when he saw Nanqiao was so serious about choosing a school with him and discussing what major to study, he didn't say anything. He simply decided that going to college would only take three or four years. At most, he would work harder and take care of both sides.

This way, their family will have two college graduates, and others will not say that Nanqiao married a useless person.

"There is one more thing. I have a job in town. See if you want to go. If you want to go, come with me to the town tomorrow to handle the formalities. But you can only do basic work, and the salary is probably about 30 or 40 yuan." Sheng Yanchuan and his friends are going to take the college entrance examination, so they will definitely not be able to keep the job here. Instead of giving it to outsiders, it is better to give it to their family. As for the job in Nanqiao... they can only give it up. After all, it is an additional position. Even if they want to give it to someone, there must be someone who can take it.

"Do you want to go?" Aunt Xiumei looked at Sheng Yanjun.

Sheng Yanjun didn't know what he was thinking and didn't react. Seeing his stupid look, Hui Ping said to him unhappily, "Go ahead. Basic work is better than farming. Going to the transport factory will earn you a salary and a ticket."

Sheng Yanjun was a little depressed after being confronted. He didn't know whether he wanted to go or not, but he just agreed to go. They agreed to meet at the entrance of the transport factory early the next morning. Sheng Yanchuan didn't say anything else.

Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xiumei were more and more reluctant to leave their children, so they did not go to work in the afternoon and played with the children for the whole afternoon.

In the evening, Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao took the children back home.

The next morning, Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao waited for Aunt Zhou to arrive, and then went to their respective units.

Now that the college entrance examination is approaching, their work needs to be prepared in advance.

Minister Zheng and Wu Weige did not find Nanqiao's decision surprising. If they were not too old, they would have wanted to try it.
