Chapter 520 College Entrance Examination Changes Destiny
"Little sister, where did you hear this news? Are you serious?"
Lin Qingqing glanced at the three old men in the yard and whispered, "Grandpa told me, I guarantee it's true."
Lin Zhiqing's eyes became even redder. He covered his face with his hands and sat on the stone bench, crying silently.
Tears flowed from between his fingers and dripped to the ground.
Lin Qingqing sat down opposite him, waiting for him to vent his emotions.
She could also understand why Lin Zhiqing was crying.
The college entrance examination was stagnant for eleven years, cutting off the career prospects of many people.
Especially for rural people like Lin Zhiqing, who only had one way out, which was to study. However, this path has been cut off for eleven years. They no longer have any hope and resign themselves to earning a living from the land. Even if they are full of ambitions, they can only hide them in their hearts.
Now that the road that was once disconnected is suddenly open again, the opportunity to change their destiny has arrived.
Of course I would cry tears of joy.
Lin Zhiqing cried for two or three minutes before slowly raising his head and saying, "Little sister, I will definitely not let you down. I will get into a good university. I've read the materials and exercises you gave me more than once. Thank you, little sister."
Knowing in advance that the college entrance examination will be resumed will give you more time to prepare for the exam, which is already an advantage.
Lin Qingqing knew about the October exam. She thought for a moment and said, "You can have someone else do the job at Kyoto Steel, splitting the salary in half. This will free up your time and allow you to focus on studying. I think since the college entrance exam is being reinstated, the exam shouldn't be delayed for long."
"I'm going to move closer to the military in a little over a week. If I buy that house on Wangfujing Street, you shouldn't move out then. If I see you're not working, I'll definitely ask you, but you won't be able to tell the truth. This new house is quiet so you can concentrate on your studies. You can also help me look for a house."
As soon as the college entrance examination was resumed, many people gave up their work and shut themselves off to prepare for the exam. Now that Lin Zhiqing knew about it a few months in advance, he shouldn't waste time for that little bit of money.
Her words hit the mark on Lin Zhiqing's mind.
Lin Zhiqing said calmly, "I have the same idea as you about the job at the steel mill. We should find someone to cover for us first. We can get less pay but still keep the job. If the college entrance exam is really coming up soon, we have to hurry up."
Nothing is more important than the college entrance examination. If he really gets good results in this exam, his life will be different. What does that little bit of qualification matter?
Lin Qingqing stood up and reminded him again.
"Okay, my grandfather and the others just told me about this matter, so it's not convenient to publicize it."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "I know it's not a big deal."
As soon as the two came out of the pavilion, Lin's mother called people to eat.
"Nier, Xiaoliu, it's time to eat~!"
"Coming." Lin Qingqing responded and walked straight to the dining room.
Everyone in the dining room sat neatly, waiting for Lin Qingqing and Lin Zhiqing to arrive.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly sat down.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing's red eyes, Lin Zhijun asked, "Xiaoliu, were you crying just now? Did someone at the steel mill give you a hard time?"
He thought Lin Zhiqing was bullied at the steel plant.
The Lin family members turned to look at Lin Zhiqing, and it was obvious from his eyes that he had been crying.
Lin Zhiqing picked up a black steamed bun and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, stop joking. I'm such a big guy, who would dare to mess with me? I must have gotten sand in my eyes from riding my bike just now."
Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, eating the chicken Song Yiyuan had picked up in her bowl, to see whether Lin Guosheng and the others believed it.
Lin Baojun took a bite of his steamed bun and said with a half-smile, "Is this sand going to grow legs and get into your eyes?"
Everyone laughed when they heard what he said.
Mother Lin looked at her sons and said, "Xiaoliu is already ten years old this year. He's not a child anymore. You guys are really worrying about him for no reason."
Grandpa Song smiled and watched the Lin brothers talking at the dinner table.
He lived with his in-laws for a while and felt that his granddaughter-in-law's brothers were all good people, and Lin's father was also a very honest man, so he would help them if he could with some things.
It's not easy for the Lin family in Kyoto. With so many mouths to feed, they have to earn their own food and clothing.
"Mother-in-law, yesterday you went to see that house. I asked someone yesterday, and they said there's nothing wrong with the owner of that house. It's just that the elderly couple are being taken to Guangdong Province by their children and won't be coming back anymore."
"My grandfather knows that family. He's not in Kyoto, but he's already spoken to them. He's arranged for them to come over at 2:30 pm to discuss the price."
Grandpa Song's words attracted the attention of everyone at the table.
Lin's mother nodded repeatedly: "That's great, that's great, it's really easy to get things done with someone you know, but we'll have a good talk with him. If it's suitable, we'll buy it in the next two days."
Father Lin also said with a smile: "Please help me find out. Let's have a drink tonight. Boss, you can go to the street and buy some braised dishes."
Lin Baojun quickly agreed: "Okay."
Lin Qingqing looked at the two old men, Cai Tong, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't leave this afternoon. Stay and have dinner with us tonight."
The two old men Cai and Tong were eager to do so.
The two were delighted: "Great, granddaughters are the best."
Song Yiyuan saw the two old men looking at him vaguely, and he quickly said, "Brother, I'll drive you out to buy groceries this afternoon, and buy you two a bottle of good wine."
Grandpa Song cast a glare at the two old men and muttered quietly, "What a dog-skin plaster."
Old Man Cai Tong, who was sitting on both sides of Grandpa Song, pretended not to hear what he said. He looked at Dabao and Sibao and continued to eat happily.
Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan looked at each other, pretending nothing had happened and continued eating.
After dinner, the four children were taken into the house and put to sleep.
After the confinement period, Lin Qingqing set up a schedule for the four little ones, so that adults would be easier to take care of them once they develop the habit. The children would also get enough sleep and grow well.
Lin's mother, Liu Daxiu, Grandma Song, and Lin Qingqing took off the coats of the four children, then gently put them on the bed, covered them with their own small quilts, and patted their chests to coax them to sleep.
After a while, the four children fell asleep one after another with their heads tilted.
Grandma Song whispered, "Look how easy these babies are to take care of. They're so well behaved."
"Sleep so sweetly." Mother Lin gently closed the door and went out with Grandma Song and the others.
Lin Qingqing saw that the baby had fallen asleep, his mouth still moving as if he was sucking milk, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
