Su Yuhe heard this and squeezed Baosheng's hand while saying, "How can that be? A family should be whole and complete. You and Grandmother raised Lin Ge to this age, and now he's gone out and left you guys in the village. Is that a good idea to tell anyone?"
"By the way, Grandpa Shi, you guys should go too. Let's all go to the capital."
If it was her son who said so, Ye Yunshu would want to go, but she would also be concerned about her son's small family.
But when Su Yuhe spoke, Ye Yunshu was really happy. This daughter-in-law is great.
Ye Yunshu smiled and said, "I haven't been to the capital yet. I think it's as good as what is written in the newspaper. I heard that you can even see the leaders."
"Yes, there's the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall. I can go and see them later."
The old lady said cheerfully, "I can't walk anymore, you young ones can go."
"It's okay, it's okay," said the old lady. Although she could walk, she still relied on crutches and could not walk for long periods of time. Su Yuhe said, "When we go to the capital, the roads will be flat. You can get a wheelchair and go wherever you want. I'll push you there when Baosheng grows up."
Shi Kangyuan smiled but said nothing. He wouldn't go, so he made up an excuse: "I'll just wait here for Dandan to finish reading the novel, or go back to the city and live in the old courtyard. Jiang boy, is the courtyard in the alley still there?"
Jiang Lin glanced at Su Yuhe, was silent for a moment, and said to Shi Kangyuan: "It's used as a small warehouse. You old man, why don't you go to the capital?"
Shi Kangyuan shook his head: "When I was practicing medicine, I'd been everywhere. Now that I'm old, I want to stay where my roots are..."
Shi Kangyuan's words made the scene a little quieter.
It is true that he has no plans to go now, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Although Dandan is young, she is very sensible and can hear that Su Yuhe and the others are planning to move out.
It's just that her grandfather doesn't want to move away.
Dandan didn't understand, but she also knew that she couldn't choose between grandpa and sister, so she decided to wait and see, so she didn't say anything.
Yi Nu broke the unusual silence: "This old man doesn't want to go because he doesn't know how to enjoy himself. I must go. I haven't been to the capital yet. In ancient times, it must have been the imperial city. Oh, I must go and take a good look."
Su Yuhe couldn't help but laugh: "Not so fast. Brother Lin still needs to find a house when he goes there. Besides, the policy hasn't been officially opened yet. Maybe we have to wait for a year or two. By then, maybe Grandpa Shi will want to go."
After chatting for a while, Su Yuhe put Baosheng down and wanted to go cook.
But as soon as Baosheng was put down, he screamed and held on to Su Yuhe tightly.
"Ah, Baosheng has become so clingy." Su Yuhe was helpless and leaned over to kiss Baosheng. "We have shrimp today. Mommy will get some for Baosheng to try."
Su Yuhe didn't put too many shrimps in for Baosheng, only half a shrimp, cooked it, mashed it, mixed it into the rice noodles, and gave it to Baosheng to eat.
I stir-fried the remaining shrimps, froze the fish I brought back but didn’t cook it, and stewed a pot of pork ribs and soybean soup.
It was cold, so Ye Yunshu and the other four slept on the big kang in the main room.
After turning off the kerosene lamp at night, Ye Yunshu felt that her heart had not yet recovered and she could not help but chat:
"Mom, when I'm free tomorrow, I'll make you all some new clothes. We're going to the capital, and we can't keep wearing the clothes we wear at home..."
Mei Lanyue responded and muttered, "There are still treasures in the back mountain. I have to dig them out in advance..."
Su Yuhe was in her room, playing with Baosheng while talking to Jiang Lin:
"It seems Grandpa Shi really doesn't want to go to the capital. I don't know what to do."
Jiang Lin's thinking was different from Su Yuhe's: "If he doesn't want to go, then don't go. Maybe the old man likes to spend his retirement in his hometown. Even if you are his master and his apprentice, in the end, there is no blood relationship between you."
One day in January 1978, in addition to the joy of welcoming the New Year, the commune was also filled with anxiety and anticipation of waiting for admission letters.
Among the dozens of educated youth in Dajiang Village, only three were admitted to university, and Xu Yun was one of them.
Su Yuhe was not very familiar with the other two. She had rarely met them at the educated youth camp before. It was only when she heard that one of them had been admitted to university that she knew about their existence.
Xu Yun has the best relationship with Su Yuhe, so he showed the admission letter to Su Yuhe.
The admission notice in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination was relatively simple.
On the plain white paper, there were a few small words with a very old-fashioned feel, such as "Revolutionary Committee", "Comrade xxx", "Approved", "xx University", etc.
The paper is as thin as a cicada's wing, but it carries an unspeakable weight, enough to rewrite your future life.
Su Yuhe looked at it with curiosity, and Baosheng wanted to reach out to grab the paper because he saw his mother was fascinated by it, and in his eyes it was a very good thing.
Su Yuhe pulled his hand back: "Baosheng, you can't touch this, don't tear it."
Xu Yun excitedly shared his experience with Su Yuhe and asked, "What about yours? The second-place finisher is from a key university, so the acceptance letter must be impressive, right?"
Su Yuhe hissed. She also felt strange: "My notice hasn't arrived yet. I wonder if it's been delayed or something."
Xu Yun exclaimed, "Maybe your notice was made to be more elaborate, so it was delivered later?"
In later times, the admission letters from key universities would indeed be very exquisite, but in this era, they were basically like that.
The fact that Su Yuhe ranked second in the exam had already spread throughout the commune, and more people were keeping an eye on the Jiang family.
Seeing that other people's notices have come, but Su Yuhe has not shown any sign of improvement, some people are jealous of Su Yuhe.
I don't know how it got out, Su Yuhe might have cheated, and the higher-ups are investigating...
What he said was so convincing that it was hard not to believe it.
Su Yuhe did not go out, but many people fell ill due to the cold weather and came to the Jiang family to get medicine. Some of them spoke to Su Yuhe indignantly.
After that, he comforted Su Yuhe: "Su Zhiqing, don't be sad about those words. Those people are just idle and have no time to bother. They can't even read a single word, yet they dare to make up stories about others."
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "I don't worry about it."
Jiang Lin later heard about these rumors and scoffed, "That's all they can do. Wife, I'll go to the Revolutionary Committee tomorrow to find out what's going on."
Before Jiang Lin could go to the Revolutionary Committee, they came to his door.
Su Yuhe's notice was actually sent by the Revolutionary Committee, and many leaders came to report it.
Not to mention Su Yuhe, the entire Jiang family was not prepared.
Not only did the leaders come, but also a group of reporters carrying cameras and flashlights!
As soon as the huge group of people entered Dajiang Village, someone ran to inform the village cadres.
Jiang Jianguo, along with two key members, brushed off the dust on his body and hurried over.
