The brigade leader watched as everyone in the courtyard finally left, then wiped the sweat from his face.
This is so annoying!
He took his pipe and walked outside.
Zhang Guihua called out to him, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go see the third son. He's a good student. I'll ask him if he wants to go to university."
Zhang Guihua: ......
The third son definitely doesn't want to go back to school; his wife is about to give birth, so there's no way he'll go back to school.
But she didn't care.
The captain strolled leisurely to the Huo family's residence and went straight to the back.
Yun Ningyan had already finished eating. Huo Jianshe ate a bowl of rice but felt it wasn't enough, so he got a little more.
He was the only one cleaning up the leftovers.
The gate wasn't locked, so the captain just walked in.
He looked at the group and smiled, "Eating?"
Huo Junshan quickly got up and brought him a stool. The brigade leader sat down, lit a cigarette, and smiled, "Third brother, do you want to go to university?"
Huo Junshan was a little confused; of course he wanted to go to university.
"Let me tell you first, there's a quota for the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University in the village, and it only needs to feed one person. Do you want to go?"
Huo Jianshe's eyes widened in surprise. What did his uncle mean by that?
Do you want to give this quota to the third brother?
He stopped eating and just stared at his third brother.
"Third Brother, this is a great opportunity, why aren't you agreeing?"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "Uncle, I'm not going. I'll wait for another opportunity."
The brigade leader looked at Yun Ningyan and nodded: "I just wanted to ask, but this is also a good opportunity, there aren't many high school students in our village."
"It would be best if someone from our village went. If it were given to the educated youth, they would never come back once they left."
Huo Junshan shook his head again: "Uncle, even if I wanted to go, and you were willing to let me, others wouldn't be willing."
The captain waved his hand: "Forget it, if you don't agree, that's fine. We can still hold an election later!"
"You little rascal, don't regret this! Who knows when it will be our village's turn next time."
Huo Junshan smiled at Yun Ningyan.
Both of them knew that the college entrance examination would not be reinstated until the year after next.
However, they wouldn't say it at this time.
The captain sat there for a while, then went back.
After eating, Huo Jianshe voluntarily washed the dishes.
He now regrets not going to high school, even though his mother clearly said he could go if he wanted to.
But he didn't take it seriously, thinking that going to school was a dead end, but now a way out had appeared.
He's no longer qualified.
Yun Ningyan could see his regret: "Don't worry, as long as you study hard, you'll have opportunities in the future."
"Besides, opportunities are for those who are prepared. As long as you do your best, they will come naturally in due time."
Huo Junshan instructed, "Go back! Don't tell anyone."
Huo Jianshe nodded and went back.
He decided that he must speed up his studies when he got back and thoroughly understand all the knowledge.
If I get another chance, I'll be all alone anyway, so I can just leave whenever I want.
Huo Junshan closed the door and pulled Yun Ningyan into the house.
"Are you sleepy? Why don't you sleep later? It's still early."
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "I'm not sleepy. I'm going into my space to wash up first. I sweated while eating and I don't feel well."
She slipped into the space, and after coming out, she sat down in a chair and applied some face cream.
Huo Junshan washed up outside and has come in now that he's finished.
Huo Junshan took her hand and helped her lie down on the bed.
"Lie down and rest."
Yun Ningyan rolled over and faced him: "Huo Junshan, let's start making canned goods tomorrow! We'll make them in the space. What kinds do you want to make?"
Huo Junshan: "Peaches, apples, and oranges, let's start with these three!"
"Make 100 bottles of each type and try selling them first."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Okay, then we'll do it in the space tomorrow."
Actually, she wanted to make some grape-based products, but grapes weren't the kind of thing available now.
This year's batch hasn't come out yet, and last year's batch can't be stored for that long!
When Yang Dasheng asks, there's no way to answer.
Let's give it a try!
If sales are good, we'll figure out another way.
Huo Junshan suddenly said, "I wonder who will benefit from this university?"
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "What? You've changed your mind and want to go?"
"I don't want to go. If you go, I'll go; if you don't go, I won't go either. Wherever you are, that's my home."
"Besides, didn't you say that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in two years?"
"We'll go to university together then, and by then the kids will be all grown up."
"But these two children are a problem. We still need to go to school. What will happen to the children?"
Yun Ningyan burst out laughing.
"We'll see when the time comes, it's still early!"
"Oh right, did you see the things my mom sent? I'd completely forgotten about them."
Huo Junshan: Not yet.
Yun Ningyan immediately said, "Why don't we go into the space and take a look? I can't sleep right now anyway."
The two of them flashed into the space.
Huo Junshan looked at the large package and opened it one by one to look at the contents.
Most of them are things for children, and also things for Ningning.
There's milk powder, malted milk powder, food, and other necessities—a huge variety of things.
These are all items for children and postpartum women, including several packets of brown sugar.
Actually, she has plenty of space for these things.
However, it was her mother's thoughtfulness, and she was still happy.
There's just too much stuff!
Even now, I know a lot about the two children.
