They ate and talked at the same time, and the meal lasted for a full two hours. They finished a bowl of noodles, a bowl of snails, the soft-shelled turtle and chicken, the whitebait and vegetables. There was only a pile of bones left on the table, and half a bucket of snail shells in the bucket.
Su Yan looked at Lu Yu's red sausage mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, you have finally had enough fried snails this time!"
"Well, last time there were too many people and I didn't get to eat the small bowl. This time the fried snails are spicier and more flavorful than last time. If I want to eat fried snails, I guess I'll have to wait until next year."
Lu Fengnian reminded him, "There's a pond over there, too. During the rainy season, there are snails in the fields. The soldiers at the pig farm usually catch the snails and feed them to the pigs, saying they provide calcium. If you want to eat some, go talk to Captain Zhang."
Lu Yu looked at Lu Fengnian in disbelief. His father wanted him, the pig, to grab food!
Lu Yu was about to retort when the power went out. It was pitch black all around. Lu Fengnian quickly pulled out a box of matches from his pocket, took out a match, and lit it, muttering, "Why is there a power outage? Lu Ting, go find some candles."
Su Yan was pregnant, so she naturally sat still. If she fell, it would be fatal.
Lu Ting wanted to say that there were no spare candles at home, but fortunately there was a flashlight at home. He went back to the room in the dark and took out the flashlight.
"Dad, we have no candles at home."
"Why don't you buy more next time? Why don't you buy a kerosene lamp? Don't you get kerosene coupons every month?"
"I understand. I'll buy a kerosene lamp next time."
Seeing the power outage, Zhang Chao and Zhou Xiaoyong hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, each of them took out several food coupons, and Lu Ting stuffed them directly back to them.
"I said I'd treat you to a meal, so I'm treating you to a meal. There's a power outage right now, so be careful going down the stairs."
Lu Fengnian lit a cigarette and stood up. "Let's go. Let's go together."
Hua Min felt a little embarrassed. She had originally planned to help her daughter-in-law clean up the house, but now there was a power outage and she couldn't do anything.
"Yan Yan, there's a power outage and I don't think there will be power tonight. Ask Ting'er to clean up the dishes on the table tomorrow."
"Okay, take care."
As soon as they left, Lu Ting locked the door and said, "Wife, let's go back to the space."
Back in the space, Su Yan turned on the air conditioner and slumped on the sofa. It was a damn hot weather, but there was no wind at all tonight. She was soaked through after eating.
Lu Ting pulled Su Yan up and said, "Wife, you'll definitely catch a cold if you use the air conditioner in such a hot and cold environment. Let's go back to the room and take a shower first."
Su Yan thought about it and it made sense. It wouldn't be a big deal if she caught a cold, but she was pregnant and it would be troublesome if she got sick. Pregnant women couldn't take medicine indiscriminately.
"Lu Ting, you promised me not to go swimming in the river."
"It's so hot. We're working under the sun, and our skin will peel if we don't soak in the water. Don't worry, Yanyan, I'm a good swimmer. I even saved two children from the river two years ago."
Those who usually drown are those who can swim. Many people drown in that river every year. It's really weird.
"Lu Ting, you know that some things can't be explained by science. I'm not saying your swimming skills are bad, but that river is so strange..."
Lu Ting saw the worry in Su Yan's eyes and leaned over to kiss her forehead twice. "Yan Yan, I understand your worries. There are always more than a dozen of us going to the river. I swear I will never go to the river alone to take a bath."
Su Yan also knew that she was being too nosy. She was doing it for Lu Ting's own good. After all, that river was indeed very strange, and she didn't want to lose her husband or her child one day.
After knowing her college entrance examination results, Su Yan waited for the admission notice at home every day. Two days later, Lu Jin received the admission notice from the military academy, but there was no admission notice for Su Yan.
Lu Ting took Su Yan to the school to check, but the school said they didn't know either, which was logically impossible. Later, they went to the Education Bureau to check, and they directly stated that she had only scored over 280 points.
What a coincidence! She just wrote with her eyes closed and no idea how she got such a low score.
Su Yan knew something bad was going on. Someone must be plotting against her and trying to replace her. After the couple returned home, they told Lu Fengnian about it. Lu Fengnian was so angry that he wanted to curse. He didn't know how this news got to Su Qingshan's ears.
Su Yan repeatedly assured that her score this time would definitely be above 460, and she could even ask their class teacher to testify.
Both the Lu and Su families felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so they asked for leave and went to the Education Bureau again.
The people from the Education Bureau said that the student who scored 473 points in the exam was called Su Yan, and Su Yan and her name had the same pronunciation but different characters, so they were not the same person at all.
Lu Fengnian slammed the table and said, "What do you mean by same name but different surname? You are looking for someone to replace my daughter-in-law's grades."
Su Qingshan also echoed, "Yes, my daughter Yanyan clearly scored 473 points, but you just found someone else to replace her. You tampered with my daughter's grades. I'm going to report it to the police."
Since they dared to mess around, they really had to report it to the police this time. Lu Ting's eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Dad, you guys stay here and guard. Yanyan and I will go report it now."
Seeing that the family was really about to file a police report, the Education Bureau staff panicked and tried to persuade them kindly, "Student Su Yan, please stop making a fuss. You scored 245 on the college entrance exam last year, and you repeated six months and only managed to score 473. That's unacceptable. The results your school published are from Su Yan from No. 1 Middle School."
The two schools are located in the south and the north respectively. Even if they have the same name and surname, their grades cannot be wrong. The only possibility is that someone has targeted her and tampered with her file at the Education Bureau.
These people looked at them in military uniforms and still dared to insist that they were wrong, which shows that Su Yan from No. 1 Middle School has a powerful background.
