Chapter 301 Many social conventions cost money
Today Shumei slept with her sister, while the second and third brothers slept in Lin Shumei's room. The brothers' rooms were temporarily requisitioned as guest rooms.
The uncles from the city got their dad drunk tonight, and they were also drunk half to death by their dad.
It was already very late when the party ended, and Sanni was worried about Qi Jinzhou driving a group of people who were basically unconscious so late, so Chen Chunhua decided to let them sleep at home tonight.
Lin Guoqing slept until the middle of the night and went outside to vomit. When he came back and lay down, he kept groaning. His head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split.
Chen Chunhua stood up and rubbed his head in anger, "I just told you not to drink mixed liquor, but you refused to listen! You deserve this!"
Although he cursed like this, his movements were very gentle.
In fact, Lin Guoqing is not an exception. The brothers who sleep upstairs in the Lin family are all the same. Lao Shi was still dazed when he woke up in the morning, and Hu Liming almost rolled down when he went downstairs.
"...It's over. I'm going to be beaten by my wife when I get home..." Ye Juncai was holding a bowl of white porridge and drinking it listlessly. Although he had told his family in advance that he was going to Sihe Village for a banquet, he would definitely be scolded if he didn't come home all night.
"I'll call my sister-in-law later." Lin Guoqing also supported his head and drank slowly, "I was too happy yesterday. I can't help it. It's my fault."
If his head didn't hurt so much, he would have gone out for another walk.
His daughter got into university! Hahahahahaha!
The admission letter didn't take too long to arrive. About half a month later, a postman came on a bicycle to deliver the registered letter.
Shanghai Foreign Trade Institute, majoring in International Trade, didn’t even require adjustment. It was exactly the school and major that Lin Shuying wanted to go to!
After the wedding banquet, Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua started preparing things for their eldest daughter to go to college.
Although you basically don’t have to pay for going to college now, and even those from families with difficult financial conditions can get scholarships from the school.
However, Lin Shuying would definitely not fall into this range. After all, with her mother's current ability to make money, they are all wealthy families in the city.
Ma Dexiang, a village official, handled the household registration transfer process. He had connections everywhere. There were only two college graduates in the town this year, and the town government was incredibly efficient. After running through the various levels, the transfer was quickly completed. All that was left was to wait for the start of school and move back to the school.
In addition to moving the household registration, the food supply also had to be moved. The school would give food coupons to college students every month, but they had to bring their own. So Lin Guoqing frantically began to look for food coupons across the country.
They basically don't need to use food coupons to eat at home now, and Lin Guoqing saves as much as possible when he goes out. He has saved a lot, but it still feels not enough.
He negotiated with the factory director and went out to buy on the black market. In the end, he collected nearly 60 kilograms of national food coupons and put them in a small box and gave it to Lin Shuying, along with 150 yuan given by Chen Chunhua.
"Even if the school distributes food coupons late, the food coupons here should be enough for you to eat for two months. Don't be stingy with food and drink. Studying requires both brain and physical effort, so eat when you need to and drink when you need to.
We don't know exactly how much your university life will cost, but prices in Shanghai are much higher than here. Your mother said she'll give you 30 yuan a month. If you feel it's not enough, write a letter or send a telegram home and your father will deliver it to you right away!
Chen Chunhua was putting a new quilt and pillow on her. The one she used in the high school dormitory had become a little black, so she took off the outer cover and replaced it with a new one. She also re-stuffed the cotton and dried it in the sun until it smelled fragrant.
After folding the quilt, she touched her eldest daughter's head and said softly,
"Entering university is like stepping one foot into society. If you want to do business in the future, you should know that social etiquette requires money. Don't be reluctant to spend money at this time.
I'm not asking you to be a sucker, but you also don't want others to think you are petty and look down on us rural people.
If it's not enough, just tell me, don't feel embarrassed! We have money, we don't need you to save a few cents, okay? "
She has always been tolerant towards the eldest and second oldest children. If it was the third or fourth child who was admitted to university today, Chen Chunhua would definitely say, "Spend less, ancestor. It's not easy for your parents to make money."
Of course, this is based on the premise that the third child can be admitted to university.
Lin Shuying nodded obediently,
"Mom, I know I won't embarrass myself in public. I'll spend money, but I won't spend it recklessly."
Lin Guoqing often talks about how she has been doing favors for others at home, and she also knows how stingy her father is with her.
The more people outside praise him for his good conduct, the more stingy he is with himself.
Even if Lin Shuying has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs run, and her goal is to learn from her father.
Apart from clothes, Chen Chunhua suggested buying other things on the train when they got there. After all, quilts would definitely smell better if they were brought from home. But other things like washbasins and water cups were the same everywhere, so there was no need to carry them on the train.
They planned to send Lin Shuying to Shanghai a few days in advance, not just the two of them, but the whole family together.
Last year, the couple took Liu Ni to Shanghai. Chen Chunhua has been thinking about it until now and always feels that she should take the children with her.
A few days ago, she and Donghua exchanged several telegrams. Donghua knew that Shuying was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and she tried her best to invite their whole family to come over and visit!
The new mushroom house at the mushroom farm was almost finished, so she didn't have to worry about nutrients or fungus. Liu Guoping and the others could handle it perfectly. As for the poultry farm, with Liu Ni keeping an eye on it, she could easily take a couple of days off to enjoy herself.
There is only one question left, have the three children finished their homework?
Lin Shugan said that he had finished it, and Lin Shumei said hesitantly that there was only a little left, and she guaranteed that she could complete the task in two days, except for Lin Shuchao.
He actually wanted to say that he had finished it, but his eldest sister who knew his entire homework schedule was standing there watching him. If he dared to lie, his father would beat him!
So he became the "rat shit in the pot". Not only did his brothers and sisters supervise him to do his homework, but even his grandmother, after going out for a walk every day, the first thing she said was,
"Have you finished your homework?"
"When can we go out and play?"
Liang Shengdi wanted to go out and play, especially to Shanghai, because every time Lin Guoqing came back from Shanghai, he would bring her some delicious food, all of which were new and fresh! In her eyes, Shanghai was a food paradise!
This is the place where Old Lady Liang must make a pilgrimage in her lifetime!
I remember she had even considered whether she could row a boat to Shanghai.
It is possible, but you might have to lie down when you get there and have no fun, so it is not worth it.
