Old Mrs. Chu’s face was so happy that it looked like a flower!

"Oh my! Our Pingping has such great ambitions! Pingping, you better work hard!"

Pingping's eyes curved, "Yes, Grandma, I will definitely be able to get into college!"

Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, "Well, our Pingping is very powerful."

Lele looked around, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother, what else can I study in college?"

Pingping frowned slightly, thought for a moment, reached out and rubbed Lele's head, and said softly.

"Le Le, brother doesn't know either. How about we wait for Sister Daya to come back and ask her?"

Lele said "Oh" and stirred the food in the bowl with a small spoon. He tilted his head and asked, "Brother, are you going to college and leaving home?"

Pingping shook his head. "Lele, I don't know either, but I guess so. Look, my sister lives on campus in junior high school."

Lele uttered another "Oh" and muttered, "Brother, you are so stupid, how come you don't understand anything? I ask Dad about something, and Dad knows everything!"

mediocre,"····"

Yao Xiujuan couldn't help but rub her bangs when she heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? How old is your brother? How old is your father? How can you compare your brother to your father?"

Lele stuck out her tongue and turned to look at Pingping again, "Brother, Lele was wrong. I shouldn't have called you stupid..."

Pingping smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, brother really doesn't know much, but don't worry, Lele, I'll ask Dad when he's free."

At the gate, Chu Tian looked at the excited Li Jianmin and raised his eyebrows. "Did you hear the broadcast?"

Li Jianmin was stunned. "What broadcast?"

Now it was Chu Tian's turn to be stunned. "Huh? Didn't you hear? The national college entrance examination was resumed today!"

Li Jianmin shook his head. "No, I received a telegram from my father saying that the college entrance examination had been resumed..."

Chu Tian, ​​"..."

Li Jianmin reacted and quickly grabbed Chu Tian's arm and said, "Brother-in-law, the college entrance examination has been resumed. I can take the college entrance examination openly and return to Beijing..."

Chu Tian nodded, "Well, congratulations..."

Li Jianmin nodded with a smile, then looked at the calm Chu Tian in confusion, and asked doubtfully, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you excited?"

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why should I be so excited? First, I'm not taking the college entrance examination. Second, Xinxin and Pingping are still young. It will take several years for them to take the college entrance examination..."

"When Xinxin takes the college entrance exam, it will be too late for me to be excited."

“·····”

Li Jianmin thought to himself, okay, there was really no need to be as excited as him.

"But, brother-in-law, why don't you take the college entrance examination? I heard from Grandma Chu that you were a good student when you were young. Are you afraid that you won't pass? How about I teach you?"

Chu Tian quickly waved his hands, "Me? Forget it! Just focus on taking the college entrance exam. By the way, do you have high school textbooks? How about I find them for you?"

Chu Tianxin said, it’s not like he hadn’t taken the college entrance examination in his previous life, so he didn’t want to go through it again...

Li Jianmin shook his head and refused. "No, my father sent me a telegram saying that a meeting was held in August to discuss resuming the college entrance examination. When he got the accurate information, he found a complete set of high school information for me and sent it to me a few days ago. It should arrive in a few days..."

"Well, that's good..."

Chu Tian nodded. Looking at his joyful face, he thought for a moment and asked again, "You've taken the college entrance examination. What about Xiu Li and your two children? What are you going to do?"

Li Jianmin replied without hesitation, "I will definitely bring them back to Beijing. I won't leave them behind. I will take them wherever I go."

Chu Tian looked at him steadily, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "You'd better keep your word..."

"Brother-in-law, you can rest assured about this!"

After saying that, Li Jianmin raised his hand to check the time on his wrist and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going home. Xiuli is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

Chu Tian nodded, "Let's go back."

Chu Tian watched him turn into the yard not far away before turning back to the house. Pingping had already finished lunch and was carrying a thermos to fill hot water into his thermos.

"Dad, have you finished talking to my uncle?"

Chu Tian watched him cover the filled thermos and nodded, "Well, are you going to school?"

Pingping looked up at the time on the wall clock and nodded, "Well, the Chinese teacher said this morning that there will be a quiz in the afternoon, so I want to go to school early to review..."

Chu Tian nodded, "Then go."

After Pingping left, Lele was also taken away by Old Lady Chu. Yao Xiujuan sat at the table and accompanied Chu Tian for dinner. She poured a glass of water and looked at Chu Tian while drinking.

"Brother Tian, ​​what does Jianmin want to see you about?"

"Nothing, he just said the college entrance exam has been reinstated and he wants to take it and return to Beijing..."

"cough"

“Ahem…”

Yao Xiujuan was choked by the water. Chu Tian was startled and hurried forward to help pat her back.

"Why are you so anxious? You're not a child anymore, why are you choking on water?"

Yao Xiujuan wiped her mouth and looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was looking at her with concern, in disbelief. "Brother Tian, ​​what did you say? Jianmin is going back to Beijing to take the college entrance examination?"

Chu Tian nodded, his face calm, "Ah, yes, what happened? He wants to go back to Beijing now. Apart from finding connections, he can only take the college entrance examination to go back."

Yao Xiujuan grabbed Chu Tian's arm fiercely. "Brother Tian, ​​how can he go back? If he leaves, what will happen to Xiuli? What about Huaiyu and Huaibo?"

Chu Tian patted her back gently and chuckled, "Xiujuan, don't worry, Jianmin is not that kind of person. He just came to tell me that he will take the college entrance examination. As long as he passes, he will bring Xiuli and the children back to Beijing."

Yao Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

Chu Tian nodded seriously, "Of course, I know his parents' positions. If he dares to abandon Xiu Li, I will be the first one to not let him go."

"Um···"

If someone else said it, Yao Xiujuan would definitely not believe it, but since Chu Tian said it, she believed it very much.

Seeing Yao Xiujuan calm down, Chu Tian sat back down and ate his food while casually saying, "However, I don't think other educated youth will necessarily think like Jianmin about returning to Beijing with their children, husbands, or wives..."

Yao Xiujuan was stunned. "Brother Tian, ​​no, you can't?"

Chu Tian chuckled and made a bet with Yao Xiujuan, "Whether it can be done or not, you'll know in a couple of days if there's any commotion in the brigade."

“·····”

Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian speechlessly. Although she often heard people say that educated youth would abandon their families in order to return to the city, she always had a hint of doubt. After all, a man could give up his wife, but he couldn't abandon his own children, right?

In fact, within two days, some educated youth who got the news started making a fuss that very day, crying and shouting, demanding their household registration to go to the Youth League to register for the college entrance examination. Some who were afraid that their wives or husbands would leave them refused to give them their household registration. In short, they were making a fuss and throwing a tantrum.
