Lin Yi was so busy that he had no time to spare. His roommates could only see him during classes and exams, and could not find him at other times.
He did not participate in any extracurricular activities, club activities, or class activities, and was criticized by class leaders as the person with the least sense of collective honor.
Feng Yashi's frustration and resentment, as well as her conspiracy and plotting, had no room to develop at all, and could only end up in nothing.
During the winter break of their sophomore year, Lin Yi asked Qiu Sanmei to write a letter home saying they wouldn't be going back for the New Year, but they had thoughtfully mailed New Year's goods, including clothes, food, and money. They also asked Qiu's father to help them get a certificate for transferring their household registration in the village and mail their household registration booklet.
Because Qiu Sanmei and Jiang Qiuying were going to settle down in Jiangzhou, the house for registering their household registration was ready and the procedures were not complicated. Jiang Lan also specially contacted the police station and the neighborhood committee, and this matter was settled before the college entrance examination, so Sanmei did not have to return to her hometown to take the college entrance examination.
After receiving the letter, Qiu's parents were mentally prepared. Their daughter had become someone else's daughter-in-law, and naturally she would spend the Spring Festival at her husband's home. They immediately wrote back to their daughter and son-in-law, saying that they understood why they could not come back, and sent the letter of certification and household registration book together.
Little did he know that whether to celebrate the New Year at his husband's or his parents' home had nothing to do with the old customs. It was simply because the winter vacation had arrived and Lin Yi had plenty of free time to catch up with Qiu Sanmei's studies.
Day and night, Qiu Sanmei was deeply immersed in the sea of questions.
Unlike other families' bustling New Year celebrations, the Jiang family even had the couplets posted on their front door written by Jiang Lan on New Year's Eve. But her son and daughter-in-law were serious business, so Jiang Lan rolled up her sleeves and did whatever she could.
What's more, he actually enjoyed coaxing his granddaughter.
In July 1979, Lin Yi took Qiu Sanmei to the examination room of Jiangda High School with her child in her arms. The day after the college entrance examination, the family of three boarded the train back to northern Shaanxi.
It was like a rush. The third sister slept almost the entire two days and two nights on the train. Except for eating, going to the toilet and feeding the child, she did not wake up at all. It can be seen how hard this year of devilish training camp tortured her.
Lin Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to send someone who had graduated from junior high school for many years to university. Thanks to the cooperation of her third sister, her study materials had been sorted out and published over the past year. Lin Yi planned to send the teaching aids and question sets to the publishing house as soon as school started and he had time.
Make the best use of everything.
?
At the end of July, Jiang Lan called the Qiujiadian Village Committee to find Lin Yi and said that Qiu Sanmei's admission letter had arrived, to Jiangzhou University, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature.
Soon, the whole village knew that the third child of the Akino family, who married a college-educated educated youth, was also admitted to college. The whole village was shocked.
Is it so easy to get into university? Didn’t the third child of the Qiu family just graduate from junior high school?
Is this Jiangzhou University not a formal one?
......
Qiu's eldest aunt, Xu Zhaoyin, was cursing and throwing things around at home. "God is blind! Her daughter, Lan Ni, is a serious high school student, isn't she better than her third sister, a half-baked junior high school graduate? How could her Lan Ni fail the entrance exam? Hey, could the person in charge of issuing the admission notices have mixed up their names?"
The second branch of the Qiu family was in a festive mood. Old Man Qiu specially set up four tables for a banquet and invited village cadres and uncles and brothers within the fifth degree of mourning.
Not only was there plenty of wine at the banquet, but the three laying chickens at home were also slaughtered, and they also generously went to the town's meat processing plant to buy half a pig.
Old Man Qiu didn’t feel that it was a waste of money at all and didn’t feel bad about the money. Hey, he just wanted to have fun!
On the day of the banquet, the parents-in-law of Qiu Dajie and Qiu Erjie also came and gave Qiu Sanjie a big red envelope. The reason was simple: they were happy.
My grandson's aunt was admitted to university, which shows that she is smart. Her daughter-in-law, who is from the same mother, must be no bad girl. Besides, my son is a smart man who is one in a thousand. To round it off, my little grandson will definitely be able to go to university and become a cadre in the future.
The few elderly people sitting at the table seemed to be rehearsing in advance the glorious moment when their grandson was admitted to university more than ten years later. It was so beautiful.
On the day of the banquet, Xu Zhaoyin and her family dressed neatly and sat on the kang waiting for the second wife to invite them. She had thought it through. When the people came, they couldn't just go there easily. They had to show some effort. And when they were at the table, don't expect to hear any compliments from them. They were not the kind of people who would flatter!
As a result, they waited from dawn to dusk, but no one from the second branch came, as if they had forgotten about their brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.
Qiu Ye said: "On my daughter's happy wedding day, those troublemakers, please don't come and make trouble. Are you waiting for my family to invite them? Don't think I don't know. When my daughter was pregnant, who was it that spread rumors throughout the village that Xiao Jiang had abandoned my third sister...?"
After the banquet, the old couple of the Qiu family took the initiative to say that they wanted to go to Jiangzhou with Qiu Sanmei. In the future, they would not have to worry about the housework and their granddaughter, so that their daughter could finish college without any worries.
Lin Yi thought he would have to carry his child to class in the future. His father-in-law and mother-in-law really helped him a lot.
In September 1979, Lin Yi and Qiu Sanmei became alumni. He was a junior and she was a freshman.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law take care of the children, so they can have hot meals when they get home from school.
My father also gets along well with the two old people. Every Sunday or in his free time, he comes to the old yard to have dinner, play chess, and entertain his granddaughter.
The teaching aids and massive exercises he had compiled for Qiu Sanmei had also received a response from the publishing house, and he received a considerable amount of royalties. The publishing house also said that this was not a one-time deal, and that if the books sold well in the future, they would print more, and he would get a share of the profits from the large number of books printed.
Everything is good!!!
In the past two months, after Qiu Sanmei was relieved from the college entrance examination, she always made some strange things for him to eat.
Dishes made from the kidneys of various animals, wine soaked from things of unknown shapes, wolfberry tea made for him every day without fail, and leeks eaten for three meals a day. Lin Yi felt like he was almost pickled by leeks.
Recently, she has been suggesting that her daughter sleep with her grandmother at night...
Fortunately, my daughter is very supportive. During the day, either grandma or grandpa can take care of her, but at night when she goes to bed, she must ask her mother for help. No one else can help.
The little girl, who was just over one year old, already had her own ideas. Her grandmother forcibly took her away from her parents' bed and asked her, "Do you still want a brother or sister?"
The little girl said she wanted it during the day, but changed her tone at night: "No, no, I want my mommy, I want my mommy, woooo ...
?
Do the parent-child group still have to fulfill their duties as a couple?
Lin Yi now misses the days when he teamed up with Ling Shuang...
Life can't go on like this anymore...
