Chapter 275: Abandoning Husband and Children in the Nineties 21
Luo Yang wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut. Whatever his sister did was right, so he just had to listen.
The couple took the siblings back to the teachers' dormitory building. Along the way, they met many colleagues and neighbors who always asked a few questions, but the old couple brushed them off by saying they were distant relatives.
When I opened the door, I found that the facilities inside the house were very simple and filled with the fragrance of books.
"Come in! Stay here for one night. I'll go talk to the logistics department tomorrow and see if they can find a place for you."
The woman looked at Luo Yang beside her and said, "But your brother is already in his teens, right? He definitely can't live in the girls' dormitory."
"What should we do then?"
Luo Yang was a little anxious. He didn't expect that life in Beijing would be so difficult. He didn't even have a place to stay, let alone go to school. Did he have to go back to the village?
"Sister, why don't I go back? You stay here and study hard. I'll go back to the village, and my aunt and the others will take care of me."
At this time, the man next to him spoke, "Your sister brought you to Beijing to work, so how are your grades?"
When people asked about his grades, Luo Yang suddenly felt more confident. His sister had told him since he was a child that they had only one way out, and that was to study.
He heard these words very clearly and remembered them very well. With such a role model in front of him, Luo Yang could be said to have never wasted any opportunity to learn and always ranked among the best.
"Uncle, my grades are pretty good in our county, but..."
Although he didn't say it all, the three people present understood what he meant.
"First grade?"
Luo Yang nodded. The man didn't ask any more questions. He turned back to the house and took out a test paper. "This is the first grade math paper. Try doing it."
After looking at his wife, his eyes became even softer. "You stay here with them. I'll go make some dinner."
The woman understood what her husband meant, and pulled Luo An to sit aside, asking him in detail about his future plans. Luo Yang was arranged to sit at the square table and write the test paper.
The more Luo An spoke, the more obvious the tenderness in the woman's eyes became.
"You're a really good kid. In fact, I heard your name a while ago. Your college entrance exam essay was really good. Old Wang kept talking about it in my ear for several days. If he knew you were at my house, he would definitely be shocked."
Luo An didn't expect there was such a connection. Everything that happened today was certainly not a coincidence, but something she did intentionally.
The woman in front of him was named Gu Zhi, a professor in the Chinese Department of Hua University. Her husband, Xu Wen, was the principal of the middle school affiliated to Hua University.
Data from the 001 survey showed that the couple were typical nice people who were very likely to help if they were faced with that kind of situation.
Of course, even if she didn't ask them, Luo An could still take care of Luo Yang's schooling, but if there was a faster and better way, she would definitely be lazy. Besides, she could also help the other party.
Luo Yang had just finished the test paper when Principal Xu had already prepared dinner.
The brother and sister were invited to eat, and by the time they finished their meal, the test papers had been corrected.
99 points.
This score surprised Professor Xu a little. He understood how much importance was attached to education in this era, not to mention that for children like them who had no parents, it was a blessing not to starve to death. However, not only did their older brother get the top score, but the younger one seemed to be doing well too.
"That's right. Tomorrow I'll get you some exams in other subjects. If you can pass them, I'll make an exception and let you enroll in our school."
"Really?" Luo Yang was very surprised, but after the surprise he felt a little nervous. What if he didn't do well in the exam?
Luo An rubbed his hair and said nothing, but it made this silly boy regain his fighting spirit, "Sister, I will definitely work hard."

It was getting dark, and there were no entertainment activities during those days, so Professor Gu asked the two of them to wash up and go to bed quickly.
Not far from the family compound, a girl with a flashlight was walking towards this side, followed by a young man who was chattering non-stop.
"Yingying, can you please stop being like this? I've already told you that what happened today was a misunderstanding. There's nothing going on between Xiao Zhao and me. Why didn't you listen?"
"Nothing? She's already sitting on your lap, and you're telling me there's nothing? Do you think I, Xu Ying, am a fool?"
The girl walked forward angrily, reaching out to push away the man's hand that was blocking her way, her expression filled with disgust. "Get out of here right now! Or I'll make sure you don't get away with it! Disgusting! Scumbag!"
The girl kicked the man's calf hard, causing him to grimace in pain. Her hands continued to move, and she kept explaining, "You really misunderstood! She wasn't sitting on my lap at all. She just lost her balance for a moment."
"Think about how many years we've been together. How could I do something like that behind your back? Besides, didn't we agree to have our parents meet next month to discuss our marriage? Have you forgotten?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. The more he said that, the angrier the girl became. "Marriage? Don't dream! I will never marry you in my life. I'm going back now to explain our relationship to my parents. Don't follow me."
The man became anxious when he heard this. His family was just an ordinary working-class family, and the girl had asked her family to help find the job. If this matter were to be exposed, his job would probably be in vain.
Grabbing the girl who was still walking forward, the man said in a low and dangerous voice, "Yingying, are you really going to do this to me? We've been together for three years, are you really going to ruin me?"
Feeling the hand around her neck slowly tighten, the girl was a little scared. She opened her mouth to scream for help, but was blocked by the other party. "She just sat on my legs, didn't she? We didn't just go to bed together. Why can't you just turn a blind eye?"
"Why are you so arrogant? Didn't your dad just arrange a job for me? Even that job is a sinecure that no one else wants. I've studied for so many years, hoping to make a name for myself. Why don't you just arrange a good job for me?"
"And your spoiled brat temper? If I hadn't humbled myself and coaxed you all these years, which man could have tolerated you for so long? You're going home and telling your parents for such a trivial matter. You're not going to give up until you've driven me to death, are you?"
The more the man spoke, the more ferocious his eyes became. His hand slowly reached behind her waist. Soon he pulled out a sharp knife and pressed it against the girl's neck. "Scream! Who's faster, them or my knife?"
The girl had been spoiled by her family since she was a child and had never experienced such a scene. She was already scared at this moment. Even though the other party was not covering her mouth, her voice was still trembling, "Don't do this! I... I won't say anything! Let me go!"
"You really won't go back to complain?"
The girl nodded, tears streaming down her face. "No! No!"
"It would have been great if you had been so obedient earlier. Come on! Let's get out of here first."
The man clearly still didn't believe her, and there was no way he would let her stay. The only option now was to take everyone away and make plans later...
