Chapter 365: Family Quarters Incident
It looks like there's going to be some turmoil in the family compound.
There are people in the housing estate who are affected by the college entrance examination, but no one has had the courage to make such a choice.
Director Zhang glanced at his colleagues who were whispering not far away, and had already thought about what kind of impact it would have in the staff quarters once the news that Lin Xia was going to take the college entrance examination spread.
When Lin Xia was on the phone, she knew someone was listening, but that was in someone else's office and she couldn't ask that person to go out and stop listening.
What's more, the news that she was going to take the exam could not be concealed at all. She had already seen people from the family compound at the registration point. Although she didn't know what the other party did, the news that she was going to take the exam could not be concealed.
Lin Xia stayed at home to review and make final supplements. She seldom went out except to buy groceries. The three children didn't know if Lu Yuxiu had reminded them of this, but they would walk carefully when they saw her reading, which made Lin Xia feel warm inside.
The first person to come was Yang Hongmei. Sister Yang looked at Lin Xia with admiration, patted her chest and said to Lin Xia: "Just take the exam, I will take care of the child for you."
Lin Xia was somewhat touched when she heard this. She thought she would be asked why, but she did not expect to receive such encouragement.
The second person to come was Han Wei. Knowing that she was going to take the college entrance examination, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. She was a little hesitant like He Xiao.
"You all are going to take the exam, do you think I should go and give it a try?" Han Wei looked at her son who was not far away, feeling very hesitant.
"It all depends on what you think." Lin Xia looked at Han Wei, who had become much rounder after giving birth. Although her figure had changed, her personality and appearance had not changed much. It was obvious that she and Song Yu got along well.
"The registration deadline is tomorrow." Lin Xia reminded her.
Han Wei was still very hesitant, and Lin Xia couldn't help her make a decision. She had to decide her own path in life.
He Xiao followed Lin Xia's advice and her own heart, had a frank talk with Zhou Zheng, and finally caught up with the registration.
Lin Xia turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and had no idea what big thing had happened in the family compound.
Someone ended up getting divorced because of an exam. Everyone in the family compound was talking about it, and almost everyone stood on the man's side, thinking that the woman was crazy and was going to take the college entrance exam instead of living a good life.
Yang Hongmei and Han Wei heard about it, but both chose not to disturb Lin Xia from reviewing.
Lin Xia only felt that she would be looked at strangely when she went out to buy groceries, and many people would point fingers at her and talk about her.
It was not until Lu Yuxiu was about to take over the grocery shopping that Lin Xia realized what had happened.
"No, I've already reviewed. Buying groceries won't interfere with my studies." Lin Xia refused. She felt that Lu Yuxiu had become much more tense during this period. Not only did he cook every night, he also took on most of the housework at home.
In the past, Lu Yuxiu would share a lot of the responsibilities, but now he doesn’t let her get involved at all.
Seeing that Lu Yuxiu looked upset, Lin Xia asked hesitantly, "Did something happen?"
"There is a couple in the family compound who are getting divorced because of the college entrance examination."
Lin Xia: “…”
Lin Xia didn't know what to say. With Lu Yuxiu's support, she could concentrate on the exam, but there should be many people who get divorced because of the college entrance examination.
Giving up his family just to go to college seemed a bit unorthodox in the eyes of the world, and Lin Xia didn't know how to comment on it.
In the end, she rejected Lu Yuxiu's offer to take over the grocery shopping task and insisted on going out for a walk every day.
I heard someone muttering behind me: Look, this is also a restless kid. He doesn’t even care about his family anymore and wants to go to college.
There were a lot of such words, but Lin Xia ignored them all. However, all three children were affected.
One day, An An took the lead and ran back, followed by Le Le and Ning Ning. The footsteps of the three people were one after another. When Lin Xia heard the footsteps at home, she knew it was the three little ones at home.
"Mom, I support you!" An An panted, staring at Lin Xia with her round eyes, and said very seriously.
"I support it too!" Lele followed closely.
"Support!" Ningning spoke even less, but looked at Lin Xia just as seriously.
Lin Xia felt warm at the childish tone of the child. She reached out and touched the heads of the three people one by one, and said with emotion: "Okay! Mom will do her best!"
The three of them looked at Lin Xia and laughed like fools.
After that day, the three children rarely went to the staff quarters to play.
When Lin Xia asked, a few people said it was cold outside and not fun.
But the temperature on the island in winter is over 10 degrees, and it is not cold at all wearing a thin cotton jacket. In addition, children have hot body and are active and lively, so they are like a little stove, so it is not cold at all.
Seeing that the children were unwilling to go downstairs, Lin Xia thought about it and guessed that the impact of the divorce was probably not over yet.
Seeing that the children didn't want to go out, Lin Xia didn't force them. When she got tired of reading, she would play with the children for a while, which was a good way to relax.
Soon the day of the exam arrived. Lu Yuxiu took a leave of absence in advance and fried two eggs for Lin Xia and cooked noodles early in the morning.
The little ones knew that it was a wish for their mother to get perfect scores in the exam, so they sensibly refused the fried eggs that were offered to their mouths.
Lin Xia was already full from the big bowl of noodles and eggs, but she couldn't bear to leave any.
The examination location was quite far away, and Lin Xia originally wanted to borrow a bicycle to go to the examination by herself, but Lu Yuxiu said that he had already borrowed a bicycle.
Yang Hongmei came home early and told Lin Xia to send the children to her house and not to worry about meals. But the little ones knew that their father had borrowed a car, and they all wanted to go with him.
So, the family of five came together to send her to the exam.
As the car drove out of the family compound, Lin Xia accidentally looked out the window and saw a woman jogging on the side of the road, rubbing her hands.
That was Su He, who was getting a divorce. Lin Xia didn't know whether she had succeeded in getting the divorce or not, but she appeared on the roadside early in the morning with a shoulder bag on her back.
Are you going to take an exam?
"stop."
Lin Xia called for a stop, but before she could say anything, Lu Yuxiu had already started reversing.
Looking at the woman whose face was red from the cold, Lin Xia looked at her with burning eyes: "Come up, I have to take the exam too."
The woman recognized her, pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded.
The three children were originally in the back. Lin Xia reached out and held Ningning in her arms and let her get in the car.
"Auntie, are you also going to take the college entrance examination?" Lele looked at Su He curiously.
Su He hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.
"Come on, Auntie!" Lele's eyes lit up and he said proudly, "My mom is going to take the college entrance exam too!"
Su He's eyes became hot and she quickly turned her back, looking out the window, tears welling up in her eyes, about to burst out.
This was the first person who said "good luck" to her after she decided to take the exam. She had heard too much sarcasm and even her husband said no when he knew the news.
Then came the threat of divorce.
Lele looked at his mother helplessly, wondering why his aunt suddenly ignored him.
Lin Xia had already seen the tears in Su He's eyes in the mirror and sighed silently in her heart.
