On the 13th day of the first lunar month, Lu Ting took half a day off and took Su Yan to their former high school to apply for admission.
Ning Shuzhen, Su Yan's former homeroom teacher, hadn't expected a poor student like Su Yan to return for a repeat year. She hadn't even made it to a junior college before, so how could she dream of applying to university? Wasn't that just wishful thinking?
She wanted to persuade Su Yan not to waste time, so she pulled Su Yan to a corner and said, "Su Yan, I heard that you are already married. Studying is difficult for you. You might as well live a good life at home. Why are you making so much trouble?"
"Teacher Ning, I want to give myself another chance to prove myself. I didn't get into the junior college last year because I was sick during the college entrance exam and it affected my performance."
Ning Shuzhen chuckled. Students who are not good at studying like to find excuses for themselves.
"If you had studied half as hard as your two brothers, you would have been admitted to a junior college long ago. If you fail again this year, don't cry when the time comes.
I've given you all the advice I could, and now that your husband supports you continuing your studies, then go ahead and do it."
Anyway, these poor students who are repeating the grade will not be assigned to her class, so what does she have to worry about? She just waits to see them continue to fall.
Su Yan was too lazy to argue with a teacher. It was normal that teachers didn't like poor students, and she was very open-minded about it.
I boasted to the teacher, but she's not that stupid. There are always people who are better than you, and there are many people who can study. You're even more hardworking than others.
Of course, Su Yan was finally assigned to Class 7, which was full of repeaters. There are now a total of 56 students in this class.
After registering, Lu Ting took Su Yan to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a sewing machine. Su Yan originally wanted to buy a few pieces of floral cloth from this era to make bed curtains, but suddenly remembered that her hand was broken, so she gave up the idea and didn't buy it.
When she got home, she started complaining, "Lu Ting, you bought me a sewing machine before my hand healed. Now I can only watch."
"Don't worry, wait until I finish setting up the sewing machine, and I'll help you with whatever you want."
"Can you operate a sewing machine?"
Lu Ting nodded. "My grandfather is an old tailor. Although I'm not as good as him, I can still make simple clothes."
What a treasure man! He can cook and make clothes.
"Lu Ting, what on earth can't you do?"
Lu Ting said seriously, "There's something I really don't know how to do, and I need your help to complete it."
"What's up?"
"Give birth to a child."
"screw you!"
Lu Ting can operate a sewing machine, so she could ask him to help make the bed curtains.
There are three bunk beds in a room in the student dormitory. Su Yan arrived early and chose the lower bunk. She originally wanted to choose the upper bunk, but the upper bunk was empty and had no shelter, and it was also shaking.
Thinking that students who visit each other's dormitories like to sit on the lower bunk near the door, Su Yan finally chose the lower bunk near the inside.
"Lu Ting, go to the warehouse and get two light blue sheets."
"what are you up to?"
"I want to make a pair of movable bed curtains so that no one can watch me while I sleep."
"Okay, I'll help you do it tonight, and then I'll help you install it on the first day of school."
Lu Ting is an absolutely good man. After Su Yan broke her hand, she didn't have to do anything. He took care of everything, including washing clothes, cooking, and even giving her a bath. He almost carried Su Yan to the toilet.
The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Lu Jin brings Lu Chen and Lu Yu back to celebrate the festival. Su Yan takes out a bag of glutinous rice flour, two pounds of black sesame seeds, three pounds of crushed peanuts, and three pounds of brown sugar from the space one day in advance and asks Lu Ting to make Lantern Festival dumplings.
At noon, Hua Min came over and asked them to come over for lunch, so Lu Ting brought over a basin of fried Yuanxiao and a bag of uncooked Yuanxiao.
When Su Yan arrived at Lu's house and saw the braised rabbit meat on the table, she remembered that the rabbits Lu Yu had raised before were ready to eat. Could the rabbits in her space also be eaten?
"Mom, how many rabbits are there in the backyard?"
"It's too smelly to keep anymore. Several rabbits have eaten them one after another. This is the last one."
Su Yan knew that her mother-in-law was very clean and didn't like raising chickens and rabbits in the backyard. She had raised them before just to save her face.
If she doesn't have any rabbits, you can give them to her. She has so much space, she can raise a few more, and then she will have more than enough rabbits to eat in the future.
However, compared to rabbit meat, she prefers to eat pheasant meat. Unfortunately, there are a few in the space, but they are not enough for her.
"Yan Yan, eat more meat today. You have to go back to school tomorrow, and the food in the school cafeteria isn't very oily."
Seeing his mother caring about his sister-in-law, Lu Yu joked, "Mom, I often eat in the cafeteria as your son. Why don't you care about me?"
"How can we not care about you? We left so much food for you in the courtyard. How can we be bad to you? You can go back to the courtyard after school. If there is not enough food, I will ask your father to send it to you."
Speaking of the courtyard, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, "Mom, my aunt knocked on our door, wanting to send my aunt over, but the three of us chased her away with brooms. That night, someone from the neighborhood office came and criticized us."
Lu Fengnian smiled and said, "You guys did a good job. I decided to buy you a bicycle soon. If you don't chase them away today, they won't want to go out next time they really move in.
Even if the neighborhood committee knew we were no longer related, they wouldn't stand on our side. After all, your aunt is older, and they all sympathize with the weak."
"Dad, we three are good kids. We respect the old and love the young, so we didn't hit them."
Lu Fengnian nodded and suppressed a smile, "Well, I believe you won't do anything, just sweep the door with a broom."
Hua Min was a little worried, "Fengnian, your sister kicked your aunt out so quickly?"
"I guess my aunt has come to her senses now. She's reluctant to spend money to coax her precious daughter, and she likes to interfere in the lives of the Gu family. Living under someone else's roof is too much trouble. If I were a member of the Gu family, I wouldn't like her either."
"So what do we do now?"
"Don't worry, she still has two sons. Her two sons dare not not support her. After all, they still have formal jobs. If they don't support the elderly, they may be reported and lose their jobs."
In this day and age, dividing up a family property can be a long and tedious matter. If you don't support your elderly parents and you're a Party member, you'll be reported for being unfilial. Then someone from higher up will come and give you moral education lessons every day, and you might even lose your job in the end.
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Jin'er, school is about to start. Have you prepared everything for school?"
Two days ago, Lu Fengnian had taken Lu Jin to school to complete the procedures for repeating the year. Their former class teacher still regretted that he did not get into university last year, and did not expect that he was not a child of the Gu family.
"Dad, everything is ready."
"Then study hard. Dad wishes you success in the college entrance exam and hopes you can get into university."
"Dad, I want to apply to Agricultural University."
Agricultural University? Lu Fengnian was surprised at first, then laughed out loud. "Agricultural University is great. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. My son, study hard. After you graduate, you can teach farmers how to farm scientifically."
Lu Ting asked, "Lu Jin, have you ever thought about applying to a military academy?"
