Chapter 316: Entering the Finals, Lu's Mother

Arrives After a week of quarreling with Captain Ma, Ma's wife finally planted the flowers.

Looking at the small toothpick seedlings, she felt mixed emotions.

When will these toothpick seedlings grow up to be as prosperous as Shi Tingyu?

Originally, Ma's wife wanted to learn from Shi Tingyu to build a bread kiln. Who told Shi Tingyu and his family to take away the bread kiln when they left?

But building a bread kiln is a technical job, and no one in their family knows how to do it. Captain Ma was not in the mood to accompany her, so the matter had to be left unresolved.

Since the neighbors changed from Lu's family to Ma's family, Zhang's wife said she was very troubled. In the past week, the noise next door made her want to curse.

At the beginning, based on the friendship of neighbors, she and Lao Zhang tried to mediate the quarrel between the two parties, but in the end, the other party did not appreciate it.

In the end, they just stopped caring.

In fact, they were also wondering, how could this childless couple quarrel more than those with children?

It seems that being neighbors also depends on fate.

Oh, it's another day of missing Teacher Shi's family.

At the end of April, Shi Tingyu received the news that her painting "Farmers in Xihegou" was shortlisted for the finals of the painting competition. On

this day, when Shi Tingyu went home from school, she got an envelope from the guard at the gate.

The letter was sent from the office of the organizing committee of the Beijing Boya Cup Painting Competition.

No one else in the family compound knew that Shi Tingyu participated in the competition, but the guard at the gate knew.

Seeing that Shi Tingyu received another letter from the painting competition office, he asked curiously: "Teacher Shi, have you got the results of your painting competition?"

Shi Tingyu smiled and said: "Not yet, I just entered the finals, and the final results will be released in mid-May."

Hearing that Shi Tingyu entered the finals, the guards happily congratulated Shi Tingyu, "With Teacher Shi's ability, you will definitely be on the list."

Teacher Shi is a big signboard of their family academy.

It is a face-saving thing to tell others.

Since Shi Tingyu first received the invitation letter from the competition organizing committee, they, the guards, have been guessing Shi Tingyu's ranking in private.

This time, seeing that there was another letter sent from the Beijing City Competition Organizing Committee, they asked about it.

Although the final results have not come out yet, he is still very excited to know that the other party has entered the finals.

When Shi Tingyu got on the car, the guard said excitedly: "Teacher Shi, come on! We believe you will get good grades."

Shi Tingyu stretched out her hand holding the envelope from the open car window and shook at the guard, "Thank you."

After Shi Tingyu returned home, she let Li Jian take Shen Shen out to play for a while, and she opened the envelope.

In the envelope was an invitation letter from the organizing committee of the painting competition, inviting her to attend the award ceremony on May 20th, and the final rankings would be announced on the same day.

Along with the invitation letter, there was also a train ticket to Beijing.

Shi Tingyu thought about it and thought that by May, her mother-in-law would be able to come over, and she would be able to spare the time to attend. In

the evening, when Lu Weiguo returned home and went into the room to change clothes, he saw the invitation letter and train ticket placed on the desk.

Lu Weiguo asked about it during dinner.

Shi Tingyu told the truth: "My mother happened to be here at that time and could help take care of Shen Shen. This was the first competition I participated in after returning to China, so I wanted to go and see it."

Lu Weiguo looked at his wife whose career was getting better and better, and felt happy for her sincerely.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about the family. You will have mom and me. I'm just a little worried about you."

Shi Tingyu showed off his biceps. "What's there to worry about? I have been training with you, the leader, for such a long time. Ordinary people can't hurt me if they wait for nothing."

Seeing his wife excited, he didn't say anything to dampen her mood.

But the next day, he asked someone to exchange the hard seat ticket sent by the organizing committee for a soft sleeper in the private room.

There is no such thing as upgrading seats now.

Lu Weiguo really put in a lot of effort to change to a soft sleeper on the same train.

After the ticket issue was settled, he called his brother-in-law in Beijing and asked him to find someone to pick her up at the train station.

If the organizing committee of the competition did not arrange for someone to pick her up at the station, she would have somewhere to go.

Everything was settled, and when Lu Weiguo returned home in the evening, he handed the re-exchanged ticket to Shi Tingyu who was busy in the kitchen. Shi

Tingyu was a little surprised, "When did you change it?"

Lu Weiguo said, "I just changed it today."

"Actually, it's okay not to change it. I'm not that coquettish." Shi Tingyu said weakly.

Lu Weiguo looked at her and raised his eyebrows, as if asking, do you believe this yourself?

Shi Tingyu felt a little guilty when he looked at her. She touched her nose and said, "Well, it's a little bit, but it's nothing once in a while."

Lu Weiguo raised his hand to untie her apron and put it on himself. After taking over the work in her hands, he slowly spoke, "It takes about 20 hours from Nanjing to Beijing. Sitting for a whole day and night is not a joke."

"Besides, there are many pickpockets on the hard seats. We are not without the conditions, so your safety is naturally the priority."

In fact, he originally wanted to book a soft sleeper room for her.

However, the seats on the train from Nanjing to Beijing are quite tight, and there are no spare rooms. The best they can do is to change to a soft sleeper.

The soft sleeper can accommodate four people, which is much better than the hard seats and hard sleepers.

"Also, I don't know if the organizing committee will send someone to pick you up, so I called my brother-in-law and asked him to find someone to pick you up."

Shi Tingyu listened to the man's nagging, and her heart was so soft that she couldn't help but hug his waist from behind, "Why is my man so good?"

Lu Weiguo lowered his eyes and looked at the pair of white jade hands on his waist, patting them gently with some tenderness, "Okay, it's too fumes here, go out and play."

Shi Tingyu went out obediently, but before leaving, she touched the man's waist, which earned a deep look from the man.

Shi Tingyu coughed lightly and pretended that nothing had happened.

On May 1st, Lu Weiguo received a call from his mother, who told him to pack up tomorrow and arrive at Jinling Railway Station on the afternoon of the 3rd.

On the 3rd, Shi Tingyu drove to the station to pick up Lu's mother.

Lu's mother probably knew that her daughter-in-law would come to pick her up again, so she bought the ticket at a time when Shi Tingyu was out of school.

In the car, Shi Tingyu told Lu's mother about their house change.

After hearing this, Lu's mother was very happy, "Your life is getting better and better, mom is happy for you."

As she said this, she thought of the vegetables and flowers planted in the yard before, and felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that you have cultivated such a good land, and your flowers."

Shi Tingyu comforted her, "Just cultivate the vegetable garden again, as for those flowers, I have transplanted them to the new yard."

Lu's mother thought of the flowers that were still blooming in the hot summer, and sighed, "It's better to transplant them. It's less of a loss to waste a crop of flowers than to start with seedlings."

Everyone knows that it is easy to drop the flower buds when transplanting plants when they are blooming.

Shi Tingyu thought about the flowers in the yard that were not affected at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom. We were very careful when transplanting them. We transplanted them all with large soil balls, so not many flower buds fell off. You will see them when we get home later."

"That's good." Lu's mother heard it.

What woman doesn't love beautiful flowers? It's just that she doesn't have the time and energy to grow them, and she has never grown such delicate flowers. But she is happy to see her daughter-in-law grow them well.

It's just that Lu's mother didn't know that the flowers she had been thinking about were almost being taken care of by others.

If she knew, she would have a fight with Ma's wife.
