Lu Shengnan sighed and stopped criticizing him. This man was able to endure hardships, but he was too heartless.
When a young couple lives together, they discuss things together. He is not like that. He acts first and asks for permission later. Anyone would be furious, not to mention her.
Chen Guozhi said listlessly: "Wife, I won't dare to do that again. I will listen to whatever you say."
Well, he admitted his mistakes quickly, but he just wouldn’t change. The more I talked, the more helpless I felt. If it weren’t for the baby, I would really want to throw him away.
Xiao Zhuang woke up, yawned, rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and ran over, hugged Lu Shengnan's thigh, blinked his big eyes, and said cutely: "Mom, don't be angry, hit Dad, Dad is bad."
There were little flames of anger in his eyes, as if he had done something unforgivable.
Chen Guozhi picked him up and flicked his forehead. "You're even teaching me a lesson! Without me, you'd be left starving."
Xiao Zhuang covered his forehead and said fiercely, "Who told you to be so bad and make mom angry? You gave all the money you earned to others, so Xiao Zhuang has no meat to eat. Xiao Zhuang is so hungry!"
His chubby little face fell, and Chen Guozhi's heart softened when he saw it. He hugged him and coaxed him: "Then from now on, Daddy will give all the money to Mommy, so that Xiaozhuang can eat meat, okay?"
Xiao Zhuang then smiled and said, "Making money for mom is a good father."
Her little mouth keeps talking, obviously she takes after Lu Shengnan, she is very talkative.
Lu Shengnan's eyes were full of relief. She felt that it was not in vain that she raised the child. The child was on her side.
Chen Guozhi gave him some glutinous rice noodles, and Xiaozhuang ate them with relish.
After the new year, the kids will have to go to the red education class. Time passes so easily.
If Lu Lin hadn't said that, she would have really planned to find a temporary job to reduce the burden on her family.
Otherwise, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, and having to deal with social interactions, life would be very tight.
Since the college entrance examination is going to be resumed, I will definitely put all my efforts into sprinting for the exam. Not to mention the distant one, let’s just talk about the near one. If I can get into a technical secondary school, my family’s life will be easier in the future.
Lu Lin brought the message home, but he didn't sit for long and left after two minutes without even eating.
Lu Shengnan did not try to try to keep him, as her brother was still so impetuous.
Chen's mother also heard this. Her heart was beating fast. She asked cautiously, "The college entrance examination has been resumed. This is a great thing! You should concentrate on studying. The child has me and his father. Tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you."
This is a major matter concerning the livelihood of the whole family. If Lu Shengnan passes the exam, then she will be the ancestor of her Chen family. Only a fool would not let her take the exam.
Lu Shengnan looked at his sensible mother-in-law and chuckled, "Okay, Mom, I'll trouble you to take care of the baby. I'll study hard."
She took out the set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry from the cabinet, which Jiang Yan had given her a long time ago.
She had memorized the key points in the book several times, but she never expected that the day when she would need to use them would come so soon. It was the college entrance examination! She couldn't wait any longer.
The Miao family was also preparing in full swing. The two members of Lu Jiandang's family were not well educated and had no plans to take the exam.
But under Zhang Yulan's urging, they still reviewed seriously. There was no end to the farm work, and it was not as important as the college entrance examination. What if the ancestors blessed them and they passed the exam?
Outsiders don't know about this, but the people in the team saw that after Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian finished work, they returned the hoes to the accountant and ran home without stopping.
I thought something had happened, but when I saw them reading, many people laughed.
This peasant is trying to act like an intellectual. Is he really planning to go to college?
When rural people encounter something new, they can't keep their mouths shut. They talk a lot while they work.
"Hey, did you see that? The two from the Lu family are aiming to become intellectuals. If you don't know, you would think the college entrance examination is going to be resumed!"
"Hahahaha, what the hell is recovery? He's been locked up for so many years. If there was really hope, why did that educated youth go to the countryside? He should have gone to the city to take the college entrance examination a long time ago. He's already old, why doesn't he accept his fate and continue studying? In a few years, that kid will have to get married, and his mind won't be on business. I think he was instigated by Jiang Yan. It's not his fault, because Jiang Yan is so good at writing. Everyone in the family listens to her."
"Look at his two wives, they are busy running around like they are serving their ancestors. I would not be happy to do that. They are not my fathers, so how can I have the time to study? It is better to dig two acres of land, get more food per head, and have enough food and warm clothes. That is the most important thing."
"Stop talking, stop talking, and get back to work. People won't starve to death even if they work less. We have a house full of little kids to feed. Life is hard."
The male and female educated youth also heard it and sneered at the two men, calling them peasants and pretentious. Could they be taking advantage of their father being the team leader to cheat?
Xia Dongchun was five months pregnant and was working hard. Shen Chuanzong was carrying a basket and running as if he was on a hot wheel. He said breathlessly, "Ancestor, why are you working again? Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why can't you stay idle? You're pregnant, who are you trying to scare to death? Are you really not caring about yourself? Do you have to do this?"
Xia Dongchun saw him saying something earnestly, so he threw away the hoe in his hand and walked up to the edge of the field. "If you don't move, your bones will rust. What delicious food did you make today?"
She knew that Shen Chuanzong could support her, but she didn't want to be a waste at home. The neighbors' spit could drown her. After all, she had to exercise properly while pregnant.
Ever since she got married, the Shen family elders treated her as their own daughter. Since she couldn't do big things, she could only do small things within her ability to help the family.
Shen Chuanzong lifted the white cloth from the basket, revealing steaming white flour buns, fragrant meat buns, and cool, sweet mung bean soup.
Shen Chuanzong said as if he was offering a treasure: "These are all made by my mother. She asked me to send them to you quickly. They won't taste good if they are cold."
His mother was a person who spoke hard but was soft on the inside. She was very dissatisfied with the educated youth at first, but later, after getting along with Xia Dongchun, she let go of her prejudice.
People are still different.
Shen Chuanzong pulled two handfuls of grass and spread them on the ground, then helped Xia Dongchun sit down. He was so cautious that the female educated youth were envious.
Previously, people said that Chen Chuanzong was a lazy guy who never worked in the fields and just stayed at home to rely on his parents for food. If Xia Dongchun wanted to marry him, she would have no food to eat.
