The courtyard house was renovated in a month, and the whole family moved in. The location is good, and the children no longer need to take a car to school.
Lu Yan and Gu Huailin are taking the college entrance examination this year, and a good learning environment is very important for them.
For the past month, everyone has been quiet and respectful, trying to provide them with a good environment.
The exams, which lasted for three days, are finally over.
Lu Zhixia felt as if many years had passed during this period, and she felt soreness in her lower back and back.
Lu Yan stretched and came out of the house. Seeing only simple porridge and side dishes on the table, she immediately lost her appetite.
"Mom, is this what we're having for breakfast this morning?"
"Just eat whatever you like!" Lu Zhixia felt she should take a good rest. She was almost 40 years old, and young people's bodies could withstand more stress.
Lu Yan sat down on the sofa next to her mother and put her arm around her waist.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at her grown-up daughter, Lu Zhixia felt as if she were seeing herself when she was young. As she slowly grew old, she seemed to have grown up too quickly, as if she had been forced to grow up too fast.
"I've been tired lately. If you want something delicious to eat, you can go out and buy some."
Lu Yan said coquettishly, "I know, you've worked hard lately. My brother and I did well on the exams this time, and we'll definitely make you proud!"
Lu Zhixia thought of the other ones, "How is their learning progress?"
Lu Yan: "It's alright! Anyway, they're still young. We've already gotten through the college entrance exam, and they still have several years to go!"
Lu Zhixia suddenly realized a problem: their ages were not much different, which meant that there would be college entrance examinations every year for the next few years. There was really no way to deal with it.
"It's good that you two performed normally this time. As for what major to study, that's up to you."
"I want to study medicine," Lu Yan said.
This was the first time Lu Zhixia had heard her daughter mention this. Previously, they had a more relaxed approach to raising their children; they let them learn however they wanted, as long as their grades kept up.
"Did you plan this all along, or did it just happen suddenly?"
Lu Yan said, "Actually, I wanted to be a doctor when I was a child. Now that I have enough credits, I'll go to medical school."
Lu Zhixia, "What about Xiao Linzi?"
Lu Yan: "He wants to take the national defense exam."
Lu Zhixia finally understood; both children had their own ideas.
"Okay, you can think it over. As long as your score is high enough, you can go to school. You can tell me in advance if you have any requirements."
Lu Yan opened her arms and hugged her mother's neck. "I want a small apartment. I don't want to share with you."
Lu Zhixia said, "Okay, no problem. As long as you get into university, I'll buy you a two-bedroom apartment nearby so it'll be convenient for you to go to school."
Lu Yan kissed her mother's cheek. "You're so good to me."
Lu Zhixia pinched her daughter's cheek, "You brat, when have I ever been bad to you!"
The scene of the mother and daughter hugging each other was very heartwarming.
——
Soon the college entrance examination results came out, and they were admitted to their respective desired schools as they had hoped.
Looking at the school's acceptance letter, Lu Zhixia's eyes welled up with tears; she was overjoyed.
Gu Lingxiao put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her. They had been married for over 10 years, and he felt heartbroken whenever Lu Zhixia was upset.
Lu Yan asked, "Dad, Mom, now that the school application is approved, does that mean we can buy a house?"
Lu Zhixia nudged Gu Lingxiao and then said to her daughter, "We definitely need to buy a house. I'll go with you to look at houses in the next few days."
Lu Yan jumped up with joy. Having her own house made her happier than anything else, because then she could finally live her own little life.
Gu Huailin: "I don't need to buy a house anymore, I'll go live in a dormitory."
Gu Lingxiao said, "Before you go to school, go see your father."
Gu Huailin nodded. "I will tell him the good news."
Communication between men is simple; it can be resolved in just a few words.
The next day.
The family arrived near the school and began looking for a house.
Lu Zhixia looked at the addresses the agent had given her and said, "Let's take a look around now, check out the environment, and also get to know the neighbors."
Lu Yan felt it was too hot. "Mom, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"
Lu Zhixia said, "You don't understand. You have to choose a good house carefully."
So they wandered around several rooms for a while before finally settling on one.
The house has two bedrooms and one living room. It's over 20 years old, but the interior structure is still in good condition. It can be moved in as soon as new furniture is installed.
So Lu Zhixia immediately told the real estate agent, "I'll buy this house."
The agent was overjoyed. "Then let's hurry back to the office to complete the formalities."
When Lu Yan came out of the house, she saw her neighbor's door and glimpsed a young man in white through the crack. He flashed past and walked away.
That ascetic face was so handsome, it made her face flush.
I didn't expect my neighbor to be so good-looking. You know, my dad, my brother, and my brothers are all good-looking; you could say there's no ugly person in my family.
The formalities are complete, but the property certificate will take another two weeks to be issued. Everything is going smoothly.
The next step is to rearrange the house. Lu Yan feels that she has nothing to do now, so she can choose the things herself and rearrange the room.
So she tugged at her mother's arm and pleaded, "I want to decorate my room myself, can you give me some money?"
"I've already prepared it for you. Is 3,000 yuan enough?" Lu Zhixia took out an envelope from the room. "But remember one thing: you must be careful."
Lu Yan said with a grin, "Don't worry! I'll definitely handle everything!"
Lu Zhixia also hopes that her daughter can become independent; she has grown up and can no longer rely on them.
