Chapter 368 Back Again
After a week, Diao Yulian finally came out of the house with her curly hair hanging down.
After gradually accepting the fact that Wu Jiabao failed the exam, he went to the bathhouse for a bath and then continued to work on his career.
She planned to earn more money and find a better job for her son. A high school diploma would be enough.
The compound was quiet for a few days.
That night, the third uncle got up to go to the toilet and returned to the compound with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly I found a person standing in front of the gate, carrying a bag and looking through the crack in the door.
Perhaps the man heard footsteps and turned around.
The third uncle saw who was coming and exclaimed in surprise:
"Jiabao, you're back? What happened to your face?"
Wu Jiabao, who was discovered to have sneaked away to Pengcheng and came back two weeks later, touched the small wound on his face caused by hot oil burns and pulled the backpack strap.
"Good evening, Uncle San. Are you still awake?"
Ernengzi drank too much mung bean soup at night and couldn't hold it anymore, so he tossed and turned in bed.
He Cuicui kicked him angrily.
He had no choice but to tuck his buttocks between his legs and tiptoe out of the door.
As soon as I opened the gate, I was greeted by Wu Jiabao's dark face.
"Wu Jiabao, why are you back? Your face is tanned black!
Uncle Wu, Aunt Diao, come out quickly, your Jiabao is back!"
I was so surprised that I couldn't control my tone, and it was especially clear late at night.
Jin Qiaofeng's angry roar soon came from the front yard: "You idiot, why are you yelling so late at night?"
There were rustling noises in the backyard, and the Wu family was the first to turn on the lights.
Then the door opened from the inside, and Diao Yulian ran out from the backyard with her hair loose.
He knocked Ernengzi away, grabbed Wu Jiabao's hand, and pretended to hit his shoulders a few times.
"Jiabao, my dear Jiabao, you are finally back.
You've been gone for two weeks, you little heartless kid. I, your mother, was so worried that I couldn't eat!"
There was blame in his tone, but more of it was worry.
Wu Shengli followed closely behind, rubbing his elbows. The weather was getting cooler and it was still a bit cold at night.
"Son, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Your mom and I could pick you up at the station."
When the other families in the compound heard the noise, they all put on their clothes and came out to see what was going on.
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, stood at the hanging flower gate with their hands in their pockets, watching the movement at the door.
The third uncle touched his sparsely haired forehead and turned around to see Xiaohui's mother from across the street peeking over here.
Looking at the three people hugging each other, my teeth ached.
"It's good that everyone is back. It's so late, everyone should go back to the house.
It’s late at night, it would be bad if you get cold.”
Diao Yulian touched Wu Jiabao's palm, which was slightly cold, and pulled him into the house.
"Hurry back with mom. You must be hungry. I'll ask your dad to make you a bowl of noodles. Eat your fill first, then we'll talk."
Jin Qiaofeng took a closer look and found that Wu Jiabao's face was thinner than before he left.
He muttered quietly, "I wonder if he's been arrested again for that kind of thing?"
He shook his head, gave Ernengzi a look, and went back into the house with his hands behind his back.
She was not in a hurry. She would be able to find out by tomorrow morning.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xie family saw the couple from the Wu family happily bringing Wu Jiabao, who had returned, into the house.
They looked at each other and went into the house with their hands in their pockets.
When you live in the same compound, all your neighbors know about any little thing that happens.
Zhang Dazui, who came out to peek around, stood at the door and only heard the sound of Wu Jiabao slurping noodles.
He yawned and went back to his room to catch up on some sleep.
She was not in a hurry. Everyone was back, and Diao Yulian would definitely be unable to hold back her chatter.
Sure enough, the next morning, each family had breakfast.
They gathered tacitly in the main hall of Old Xie's house, waiting for Zhang Dazui to tell them the news.
Gao Xiulan couldn't help but ask first, "Big Mouth, what are you talking about?"
He took the warm water handed to him by Lin Xiaotong with his mouth wide open and drank a few sips to moisten his throat.
"That guy went to Pengcheng to work. He worked there for over a week, and was eventually sent on a train by the owner of some seafood store."
Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi looked at each other and knew that this person was Lao Pan.
Jin Qiaofeng ate a piece of fried peanut and her mouth was filled with fragrance.
"Wu Jiabao is really lucky. How come he met a good person again?"
There was a hint of regret in his tone. This time, he would definitely not be able to hear about Wu Jiabao's bumpy work experience last time.
Yu Afen was puzzled: "Why is that person back again? Is he not working in Pengcheng anymore?"
Yang Shujuan guessed, "They definitely can't adapt. We live in the south and the north. No matter how good other places are, they're not home."
Gao Xiulan waited for the answer with her mouth wide open.
Zhang Dazui revealed mysteriously, "I heard that Wu Jiabao is coming back to repeat his studies."
Guan Lamei was so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth.
"What? Take the college entrance exam again next year?"
Hu Tou from Zhang Dazui's family has already gone to Tsinghua University for military training.
In January 1985, a notice was issued requiring 52 key universities to hold a 20-day military training for the fall semester in September.
The one million-man disarmament event in 1985 significantly reduced the number of standing troops. From the overall perspective, it is very important and necessary to discover and cultivate higher-quality reserve talents.
This year, the number of colleges and universities conducting military training has increased to 69.
The military training programs in the 1980s were more interesting than those in later generations, and there was no fixed uniform during that period.
Most students wear their regular clothes, making sure they are loose and comfortable for movement.
The shoes are basically all white Huili brand sneakers.
The military training ground is a piece of leveled land. When you run, the dust will fly up and you will be blinded if you are not careful.
Shooting is a real sport. If you practice too much, your shoulders will be impacted by the recoil and will ache even when you sleep at night.
During the military training parade, each team will wear blue or red striped sportswear, which looks like the style of the Plum brand.
Standing on the podium, what comes into view are the blue squares and the red squares.
Those marching in step are all high-spirited college students, with firm eyes, upright postures, and full of youthful vigor.
Even Xie Da Jiao sighed, "I never thought Wu Jiabao wanted to go back to school and suffer for another year!"
It’s so tiring to go to class, and it’s even more tiring in the third year of high school.
"I don't know how this guy figured it out again, but it's true. How can working hard in a factory be as comfortable as getting into college and sitting in an office?"
Gao Xiulan felt that Wu Jiabao's choice was not wrong.
Work hard for another year and give it a try. What if you succeed?
Once, when Lin Xiaotong went to Zhou's house to find Tong Wan, she ran into Hu Tou and Wu Jiabao doing homework, so she leaned over to take a look.
Wu Jiabao's foundation is really not good.
It will not be easy to pass the exam next year. It will be difficult to achieve your goal if you don’t really focus on it.
The man whose family has five college students said this with his arms folded.
"It all depends on whether Diao Yulian and her husband can be ruthless."
If parents are afraid that their children will have difficulty in writing when they are studying, then there is really no hope.
Guan Lamei came over and pulled Zhang Dazui to ask for some tips on raising children.
She plans to encourage Tangyuan to study more and go to college in the future.
"Jiabao, as long as you can make up your mind, your father and I will figure out how to transfer you to the next class."
Diao Yulian knocked on the door and went in, bringing a plate of cut fruit.
The look of heartache could not be concealed at all.
When Wu Shengli looked at his wife's appearance, he felt something was wrong.
He pulled the person out and the door closed with a click.
Wu Jiabao was left alone buried in the pile of test papers, weak and helpless, and of course he was a big eater.
