Chapter 320 Returning Home in Splendor

"It's okay, there are buses, and it's convenient for me to come back by myself." Lu Xiaolan said, "Sister-in-law, I'll borrow your bike to go back first. In the evening, my brother will pick you up."

"Oh! What do you want to borrow? Wait a minute, I'll go and ask for leave, and I'll take you back later." Liu Yuzhi said, and walked inside, ready to ask for leave from the director.

In mid-September, the brigades of the commune had begun the autumn harvest. This was the quietest time for the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was okay to take half an afternoon off.

Liu Yuzhi was at the counter closest to the door. After Lu Xiaolan entered the door, she went straight to Liu Yuzhi and did not go inside, so no one else noticed her.

At this time, Liu Yuzhi walked inside, and everyone looked over.

"Xiaolan, you're back!" A female colleague who had a good relationship with Lu Xiaolan ran over and said, "You're amazing. You actually got into college."

She had read the newspaper and heard that a total of 5.7 million people took the college entrance examination, and the number of people who were finally admitted was less than 280,000.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it was a huge battle.

Lu Xiaolan smiled and said, "I'm lucky to have my third brother and his wife. They prepared all the books and various exercises for me, and my third sister-in-law tutored me for half a year. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the exam on my own."

The colleague was so envious after hearing this. If she had such a brother and sister-in-law, she might have become a college student that everyone envied.

After becoming a college student, Lu Xiaolan will be different from them.

Other colleagues also gathered around. Seeing so many familiar faces, Lu Xiaolan was in a good mood and greeted everyone cheerfully.

Seeing that although Lu Xiaolan had become a college student, she was no different from before, other colleagues also relaxed and started chatting enthusiastically.

When they heard that Lu Xiaolan had also gone to Tang City as a volunteer, everyone admired her.

After all, saying dedication is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

When the director of the supply and marketing cooperative heard that Liu Yuzhi said Lu Xiaolan was back, he immediately approved her leave and came out to congratulate Lu Xiaolan.

The director also had some vision. He knew very well that the first few batches of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination would definitely be entrusted with important tasks by the country after graduation.

He was able to meet such a person, so he naturally had to maintain the relationship well.

Lu Xiaolan chatted with everyone for about half an hour before she went home with Liu Yuzhi.

When they returned, no one was home.

"The autumn harvest started yesterday, and now everyone is working in the fields. Even after Grandpa recovered, he didn't want to rest at home, and he is probably busy with his vegetable group now." Liu Yuzhi said.

"Xiaolan, you rest first, I'll go to the fields to call them back."

Lu Xiaolan hurriedly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, don't! Everyone is working. I can stay at home for ten or twenty days when I come back, there's no rush."

​​Sister-in-law suddenly treated her so politely and warmly that Lu Xiaolan felt a little nervous.

"Oh, look at my brain. I'm so happy to see you back." Liu Yuzhi slapped her forehead.

"Then I won't call them." After saying that, she helped Lu Xiaolan carry her luggage and went back to the room where she slept before.

"Xiaolan, come in and take a rest. You must be tired after all this traveling. My third sister-in-law called and said that after you got on the train, your mother cleaned up your room."

"You take a rest first. I'll go get you some hot water for a bath, and then make you some noodles."

After putting down her things, Liu Yuzhi went out quickly, and Lu Xiaolan didn't have time to stop her.

After a while, she came to call Lu Xiaolan and said that the water was ready, and she was going to take it to the bathroom, so she asked her to go and take a bath.

Lu Xiaolan had never enjoyed such high-standard treatment before, and she felt really uncomfortable, "Sister-in-law, I can carry it myself."

"It's easy, go wash it. It's so hot, and you've been on the train for so long, wash it and relax." Liu Yuzhi said with a smile.

Lu Xiaolan was sweating all over, and she felt really uncomfortable, so she went to wash it quickly.

When Lu Xiaolan came out after washing, Liu Yuzhi had already cooked the noodles. She also fried two golden poached eggs on the boiled noodles.

Liu Yuzhi brought the noodles to the dining table in the main hall and called Lu Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, come on, the noodles are just cooked, eat them while they're hot, otherwise they'll get clumpy later."

It's their custom to eat dumplings on the train and noodles when getting off. Lu Xiaolan was indeed a little hungry, so she went to eat.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Don't be polite, hurry up and eat. Come back today, and we'll have dinner together tonight. I'll go cook." Liu Yuzhi said and went out again.

After a while, Lu Xiaolan heard the sound of chickens, and went out to see that Liu Yuzhi was preparing to kill chickens by the well in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, why did you kill a chicken?"

"When you came back, there was no meat at home. The supply and marketing cooperative had no meat these two days. It's okay to kill a chicken. The situation has improved in the past two years. We can raise chickens per person. Sister-in-law's family raises five chickens."

"Oh, I'm not an outsider. I eat what my family eats. It's the same now as it was before."

"That won't work. You're a college student now."

Lu Xiaolan:...

"No matter what I was born, I'm my parents' daughter, your sister-in-law." Lu Xiaolan sighed. She

's just a college student. There's really no need to treat her like a superior.

"Sister-in-law, please release the chickens."

Liu Yuzhi said a little embarrassedly, "We have already caught them, so let's kill them. It's autumn harvest now, just in time for everyone to replenish their bodies."

"The autumn harvest has just started, let's kill them after a while." Lu Xiaolan said, and seeing that Liu Yuzhi still wanted to kill the chickens, she said, "It's not good to be too high-profile at this time."

Liu Yuzhi was startled when she heard this, and her hand holding the chicken's wings loosened. The hen ran away quickly with a "cluck" sound, and successfully escaped.

"Look at my brain, I'm so happy that I'm confused."

"Then let's just have a simple meal tonight, you take a rest, sister-in-law, go cook."

Lu Xiaolan naturally couldn't take a rest, so after finishing the noodles, she went to help Liu Yuzhi cook.

Although she said she wanted to eat simple food, Liu Yuzhi still took out white flour and steamed buns made of pure white flour. She also took seven or eight eggs and fried a large plate. Even the vegetables were fried with mustard oil. When

the children came back from school and saw Lu Xiaolan, they were all very happy.

Since the college entrance examination was resumed, education has been taken seriously again, and the children no longer have a holiday during the busy farming season.

"Aunt, I got 83 points in this test. The teacher said I have made great progress. I will study hard and get into college like you." Lu Guodong took out the test paper from his schoolbag and showed it to Lu Xiaolan. "

And me. The teacher gave me excellent marks for my homework these few times." Lu Aiqin was not to be outdone.

"And me."

"And me."

The five children showed their grades to Lu Xiaolan.

Lu Qingan often mentioned that Lu Xiaolan and Su Mo were admitted to college, and he also gave the younger generation various inducements, saying that as long as they studied well, they would be rewarded.

At the beginning of the school year, Lu Guodong got an excellent mark in the class test, and Lu Qingan really rewarded him with a dime.

This has deeply stimulated the learning enthusiasm of the younger generation.

Now when the children come home from school, they don’t want to play anymore, but are eager to finish their homework first and then take it to their grandfather for inspection.

As long as they do well, they will be rewarded with a candy.
