Chapter 183 Goodbye Zhao Meili

Winter of 8508.

The educated youth who had taken the college entrance examination twice but failed to get into college tried every possible means to return to their hometown.

All localities also gave the green light, allowing almost all the educated youth who wanted to return to the city to go back.

Shen Jiale's twin sons, who are 4 years old this year, are at the age of being naughty and full of energy every day, so they were simply sent to kindergarten. They

went to the kindergarten where Song Baoer was.

On this day, Shen Jiale came back from school and went to the kindergarten to pick up his twin sons.

When Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie saw their mother coming to pick them up, they ran over quickly to hug Shen Jiale.

Shen Jiale kissed the little cheeks of his two sons: "Did you listen to the teacher in kindergarten today?"

The two answered in unison: "We were very good today, and Teacher Meili praised us."

Shen Jiale wondered: "Did you change teachers?"

Song Baoer came over and said: "Sister Jiale, a new teacher just came to the kindergarten today, and I was arranged to teach the children in the small class together."

Shen Jiale said: "The name of this teacher is the same as someone I know."

"Jiale, long time no see." A female voice came from the classroom.

Shen Jiale looked up and saw that it was Zhao Meili.

"When did you come back?"

"A month ago, I just came to work today."

Thinking that many educated youth had returned to the city recently, Shen Jiale asked about the educated youth in Yaoshui Village.

Zhao Meili said: "The village chief is a very good person. He did not make things difficult for the educated youth. Everyone has returned to the city."

"Have those educated youth who started families in the village also returned to the city?"

"They all went back. Li Mei even divorced because of this."

"Where do you live now? Have your husband and children come?"

Zhao Meili shook her head: "My father is seriously ill and my mother is not in good health. I live at home to take care of them. I can't take care of the children when they come. I will take them over when my parents are better."

After returning home, Shen Jiale told Lu Mingfeng about the educated youth returning to the city and said that they would return to Yaoshui Village to celebrate the New Year this year.

When the children heard this, they jumped up excitedly and shouted that they would tell their grandparents the good news.

Unable to resist the strong request of the children, Shen Jiale called the Ruyi Cake Factory.

In the past, every time he made a phone call, he had to go back to the Shen family and borrow the phone of the textile factory.

The children often had to call their grandparents, which Lu Mingfeng found very inconvenient. After the courtyard house was purchased, they were able to call.

After the call was connected, the children first expressed their longing for their grandparents and said that they would go back during the winter vacation, which made Lu Yongfu and Liang Qiaoli very happy.

After not seeing the children for a year, the old couple only relied on phone calls to communicate, and they missed the children very much.

How could they not be happy to spend nearly a month at home during the winter vacation? After talking to the children, they went to clean their house.

Lu Mingfeng was waiting to say a few words to his parents, but Xu Jin took the phone and told him that the person had passed away.

Lu Mingfeng looked at Shen Jiale and asked, "Don't parents miss us at all?"

Shen Jiale said, "Mom just asked me and Siyuan on the phone."

Well, his parents didn't even mention him, and Lu Mingfeng looked sad.

Shen Jiale smiled and comforted him: "You are my family, there is no need to be polite. When the holidays come, we will all go back and you can talk to your parents every day."

Lu Mingfeng was so angry that he didn't want to talk. Gu Siyuan added fuel to the fire: "Auntie is thinking about me. I will buy a good gift for her to take back."

Lu Mingfeng kicked Gu Siyuan's butt angrily: "Go away and show off!"

"Hahaha..." Gu Siyuan laughed and ran away.

Shen Jiale then talked to Xu Jin.

He asked Xu Jin to hand over the Ruyi Cake Factory to someone else to manage, saying that there are already a few small vendors on the street, and he believes that they will be able to buy and sell freely in a short time.

Lu Mingfeng said, "Wife, if we can really buy and sell freely, I would like to go to the south to have a look. I heard that there are many kinds of goods there."

Shen Jiale nodded and said, "Go learn to drive. After you learn, we can buy one ourselves. We will need it in the future."

The family bought another large courtyard house. Lu Mingfeng was worried that they didn't have enough money. Shen Jiale told him not to worry, there was plenty of money.

Lu Mingfeng wondered, "Do we have so much money?"

Shen Jiale smiled and said, "You don't even remember the money you earned?"

"I don't think I earned much. Our family has a lot of expenses."

Shen Jiale didn't want to explain too much: "Just do whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, I'll borrow from my parents and my eldest brother."

...

On Saturday afternoon, Shen Jiale went to pick up the children.

Zhao Meili stopped her.

Seeing Zhao Meili's hesitation, Shen Jiale knew that she must have something to ask for.

Sure enough, Zhao Meili said, "Jia Le, can you ask Uncle Shen to help my eldest brother get a job in the factory? My eldest brother has been doing odd jobs and hasn't even found a wife yet.

My father's health is failing, and I want to see him get married. If he has a formal job, it will be easier to get married."

Shen Jiale said, "Mingfeng still doesn't have a job. If my father can do it, he will be the first person he helps."

"Uncle Shen has been the deputy factory director for so many years. Is it so difficult to find a job for his son-in-law?"

"Obviously. We have many children in our family and our living expenses are very high. The savings we brought with us are almost used up. We rely on my parents for support. Otherwise, my little subsidy would not be enough."

These words dispelled Zhao Meili's idea of ​​borrowing money.

…

On the last day of the school term, Shen Jiale went to school to pick up the children.

The kindergarten teachers came out to say goodbye to each child, saying they would see each other again next year.

Shen Jiale did not see Zhao Meili, so he casually asked about Song Baoer.

Song Baoer said that Zhao Meili's father had passed away and she was at home to handle the funeral.

Shen Jiale was not moved at all after hearing this.

After returning home, He Guizhen came to the Lu family and told Shen Jiale about the death of Zhao Meili's father.

"When your father found out, he went to pay his respects for the sake of their long-term acquaintance. He saw that Meili's mother was not in good health."

Shen Jiale said, "At least he saw his daughter before he died."

He Guizhen also sighed, "Yes, fortunately, the policy has been relaxed and many educated youth have returned to the city. Those who have not been able to return to the city don't know when they can see their parents again."

He Guizhen took Shen Jiale's hand and said, "My daughter is still amazing. She opened a biscuit factory and can come back every year. She was admitted to university and can live in the same city with us."

Shen Jiale hugged He Guizhen, "Yes, it's great to be with my family!"
