Chapter 158 School Starts

Lin Jianshe smiled. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to have age anxiety. "By the way, brother-in-law, Siyu will be in the first grade in September, right?"

His eldest niece will be six years old in May this year.

Shen Guannan nodded, "Yes, I'm in elementary school."

"Brother-in-law, Siyu is already in elementary school. Don't you and my sister plan to have a second child?" Lin Jianshe asked casually.

Shen Guannan shook his head, "No, one child is enough. It would be troublesome if there were more. Besides, your sister is in college and doesn't have time."

After hearing this, Lin Jianshe said, "Saren and I don't want it anymore."

Before his wife got married, she told him that she wanted to have eight children. After they got married, she said she wanted to have three at most. After she got pregnant, she said she wanted one. After she gave birth, she became even more determined to have one child.

Just like his brother-in-law said, raising a child is indeed a lot of trouble.

He had to go to college and his wife had to work, and both of their parents were unable to help and had no energy to take care of a second child.

The two chatted as they arrived home.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen had never seen Lin Jianshe before, but when they saw the man who came with Shen Guannan and looked at his appearance, and then they remembered what their daughter-in-law had said before, that her uncle was coming over to study at university, they recognized him immediately.

"Is it construction?"

Shen Guannan said, "Yes, Mom." He then introduced Lin Jianshe, "My parents."

Lin Jianshe smiled, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Okay, okay, come and sit down."

Shen's father and mother hurriedly called out. Lin Shuyin was changing Siyu's pants in the house. No one knew what happened, but the child loved playing in the water and got himself covered in water.

Shen Guannan came to the bedroom and said, "Wife, Jianshe is here." Lin Shuyin finished changing her pants and said to Siyu, "Your uncle is here."

When Siyu heard that his uncle was coming, he ran out excitedly without even putting on his shoes.

Lin Shuyin stepped out on her heels and said, "I'm coming."

Lin Jianshe nodded. Lin Shuyin asked, "Where's your luggage?"

Lin Jianshe, "Sister, I'm leaving the guesthouse."

"I plan to report to school tomorrow."

Lin Shuyin said, "Okay, let's go get to know our roommates early."

Anyway, she doesn't live on campus.

Mother Shen liked Lin Jianshe very much and praised Lin Shuyin, "Shuyin, your mother is really good at giving birth. Look at you two, your daughter and son are both so good-looking and outstanding."

Lin Shuyin smiled. This was the only brother in her family who was capable of cooking. After chatting for a while, they set the table for dinner. They had originally cooked two dishes, but there were guests at home, and they were her daughter-in-law's family, so Shen's mother quickly cooked two more dishes.

Mu Shu pork and shredded pork with pickled vegetables, and a can of peaches.

"I don't know how to build it, so I haven't prepared any delicious food. Wait until tonight, and I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Lin Jianshe smiled and said, "What delicious food do you want, Aunt? This will do."

As soon as Siyu saw the canned food, he didn't want to eat anymore. Even though there was meat, he stopped eating after two bites and started eating canned peaches.

Shen's mother said to her, "Siyu, if you don't eat, you won't grow taller."

Si Yu, "....Granny, those are all lies to deceive children."

The implication is that I am not a child anymore, don't try to fool me.

Her parents have told her this so many times that she has become immune to it.

When Si Yu said this, everyone at the table laughed.

Lin Jianshe asked, "Why aren't you a child?"

Si Yu had a good reason, "Children under five are children. I'm almost six, so I'm a big kid." Then he ate the canned peaches in the bowl.

Father Shen said with a smile, "My eldest granddaughter is very eloquent."

After lunch, we drank tea and chatted for a while.

Shen Guannan said to Lin Shuyin, "Wife, take Jianshe around this afternoon to get familiar with the environment."

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay."

Lin Jianshe said, "Sister, take me to the department store so I can buy something."

"Okay."

So in the afternoon, Lin Shuyin took Lin Jianshe for a walk, went to a department store, and went to the universities they were both going to attend, the Central Conservatory of Music and Peking University.

Lin Jianshe said, "Sister, school starts the day after tomorrow. Why don't we register together tomorrow?"

Lin Shuyin: "That's fine. I'm free anyway."

Lin Jianshe, "You don't live in the dormitory?"

"yes!"

Lin Jianshe, "I envy you."

Lin Shuyin patted his shoulder and said, "I'll ask your brother-in-law about Sarin's job."

The army art troupe is not doing well anymore, so I'll see if I can join the city art troupe and see if there are any vacancies. If there is a way, it would be better to bring my wife and children to the capital.

If nothing unexpected happens, her brother will develop in the capital after graduation.

Lin Jianshe, "Thank you, sister. Sorry to trouble you and brother-in-law."

Lin Shuyin hummed, "Now that you've gotten to know your classmates, you can ask them, besides working in the art troupe, is it also possible to work in the factory?"

In fact, the art troupe is quite busy, with performances basically every day.

"Sure, why not? As long as it's work, it's fine."

It's just that this kind of job is hard to find, and there is absolutely no such job, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people going to the countryside.

Lin Shuyin suddenly remembered, "How much money do you two have now?"

If Sarin transferred to the army in Beijing, he would not be able to get a house if he started from the bottom. But if he had enough money, he could buy a house for himself and he didn't have to wait for the army to allocate a house to him.

Lin Jianshe, "Sister, we have more than 2,000 yuan."

"Sister, I know what you mean. If Sarin transfers to the art troupe here, she can't go out at will except on Saturdays and Sundays."

Soldiers all live in the army. Before, as a family member, he was not allowed to enter and leave the army at will. The military camp is very strict.

Lin Shuyin thought for a moment, "Special circumstances call for special treatment. I'll go back and ask your brother-in-law. I think this is feasible. Sarin is a married woman, not a single girl, and she's a civil servant. It should be okay for her to stay at home at night, right?"

"We have special circumstances, so please apply to your superiors."

Lin Jianshe was delighted, "Sister, go back and ask my brother-in-law for me."

If possible, he doesn't want to be separated from his wife and children.

It's not just one year, it's four years.

He felt lost because he hadn't seen them for a few days.

"Yeah, I'll go back and ask."

Lin Shuyin didn't need to ask. Lin Jianshe told Shen Guannan about it himself during dinner. Shen Guannan said, "This should be possible."

"But I'm not very clear about the art troupe. I'll ask you when I get to the troops tomorrow."

Lin Jianshe drank the wine in his glass and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law. Please ask for me. If it works, we can buy a house in the city and live there."

Shen Guannan acted like a brother-in-law. When he heard that his brother-in-law wanted to buy a house, he asked, "Do you have enough money?"

Lin Jianshe, "That's enough, brother-in-law. We have about 2,000 yuan."

Lin Shuyin: "I wrote to my mother and asked them for some money. They must have saved a lot of money over the years."

Lin Jianshe smiled and said, "No need, sister. We have enough money."

At this age, he is still embarrassed to ask his family for money. Since he went to the countryside, except for the time when he got married, he has never asked his family for money.

Lin Shuyin waved her hands, "Don't worry about it. I'll ask for you. You got the provincial top scorer in science, but your parents didn't even congratulate you or give you a red envelope or something."

Too ignorant.

Lin Shuyin did what she said and immediately left the table to go to her room to write a letter. Shen Guannan called from behind, "Wife, write after dinner."

Lin Shuyin, "I'm done eating."

the next day.

In the morning, Lin Jianshe and Lin Shuyin went to school to report. At noon, Shen Guannan brought back good news, that is, married members of the army art troupe could go home at night.

That's all right.

All that’s missing is a house.

"Let us find a house for you. One of you is in school and the other is in the army. You are too busy every day to look for a house," said Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

It is true, school starts tomorrow, and there is really no other time except weekends.

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Mom and Dad, thank you for your hard work."

Shen's father and mother waved their hands, "It's nothing, it's just finding a house."

Lin Jianshe thanked, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

Father Shen and Mother Shen, "It's okay, it's okay. It's better for the family to be together."

Shen Guannan, "After I found the house, I called the troops in Hohhot and asked them to transfer Sarin here."

"Okay."

"You can write a letter to Sarin first and ask her to prepare," said Lin Shuyin.

Lin Jianshe finished the rice in the bowl in a few bites and said, "I'll write right away." He was as impatient as Lin Shuyin.

After I finished writing the letter, I sent it through the post office, and it arrived in Hohhot about a week later.

The next day was March 1st.

Schools opened, Lin Shu-Yin University opened, and Si Yu Kindergarten opened.

Shen Guannan took half a day off to take the mother and daughter to school. Lin Shuyin said with a smile, "The sun is rising from the west. Why do you want to take us to school?"

"My dear wife, what you said is true. If I'm not busy, I can pick you two up from school every day." Shen Guannan opened the car door very gentlemanly.

Lin Shuyin smiled and carried her daughter into the car. It was better to go to school on a four-wheeled vehicle than on a bicycle, as it was less tiring.

Siyu loves riding in a car and was very excited along the way.

Send Lin Shuyin to school first. Siyu has to register which takes time, so send her to kindergarten later.

How should I put it? In this era, four-wheeled vehicles, especially military vehicles, are very eye-catching. Once they stop at the school gate, the students coming in and out of the gate will stretch their necks to look at them.

Lin Shuyin got off the car, and Shen Guannan followed. Holding Siyu in his arms, the father and daughter sent Lin Shuyin to the door.

"Okay, you guys go back."

Shen Guannan, "Wife, I'll pick you up at noon."

Lin Shuyin nodded, thinking that her Counsellor Shen was really hardworking.

Shen Guannan didn't leave immediately. He stood there looking at his wife's back for a few seconds before returning to the car.

Lin Shuyin didn't live on campus, so she didn't come very early, so she arrived half an hour early.

After entering the classroom, she saw a familiar face.

Xie Lingyun, Xie Lingyun also discovered her and shouted in surprise, "Shuyin!"

Lin Shuyin was also very surprised. She walked over and asked, "You are also going to college?"

"Yes, yes, you took the exam too." Xie Lingyun pulled her to sit down.

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Yes, I want to further my studies in this field."

Xie Lingyun, "Me too, mainly because I wanted to experience college life. Han Xiuyuan also took the exam. We took the exam together, but he applied to Peking University."

Lin Shuyin listened and said, "Very good, very good."

"By the way, do you live on campus or at home?"

Xie Lingyun and Han Xiuyuan are both from Beijing. The Railway Art Troupe they belong to is also in Beijing, but they are a mobile stage and have to perform along the railways, traveling all year round.

Xie Lingyun, "Shuyin, I live in the dormitory."

To experience college life, you must live in a dormitory.
