"Did you know? Professor Su and his family are back."
"Which Professor Su?!"
"Hey, that's Professor Su who was reported by Liu Mingliang back then."
"Is it Professor Su who has two twin boys?"
"Yes, yes, it's Professor Su. Everyone in his family is either a professor or a teacher."
"Then I remembered, are they really going to come back?!"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I even saw Sister Lu talking to them."
"Professor Su's family is really pitiful. They were reported and sent down for several years."
"For the past six months, everyone who has seen the people who have returned has felt so pitiful. What good can there be in being sent down?! They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and they have to do the most tiring and dirty work. If they don't die, they will suffer a lot."
"Yeah, it's lucky to be able to come back alive."
"Liu Mingliang is such a scoundrel. I didn't expect he would end up getting himself into trouble."
"He deserves it. I heard he was sent to the farm over there. He often writes to ask his wife and son to send him things."
"What about his wife and son?! When he was first reported, his wife and son's family immediately distanced themselves from him. It was said that there was a huge uproar."
"It seems I sent it a few times, but not often."
"Then his wife and son are just like him, without conscience."
"Who says it isn't?"
…
The news that Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru had returned with their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons could not be concealed from others, as several people had seen them with their own eyes.
It had been less than an hour since the family returned, and almost everyone in the family compound who was not working at home knew about it and started talking about it.
Sister Lu, on the other hand, kept her mouth shut. It was not until her son came back that she took him aside and quietly told him about it.
"Is Professor Su and his family okay?!"
Huang Xuewen was silent for a moment, then thought of the appearance of those old professors who had been sent back from the school in the past few months, and couldn't help but wonder.
"They look pretty energetic and haven't lost weight, but their skin isn't as good as it used to be. Dabao and Xiaobao are looking strong. I think they're doing well in the place where they were sent down."
Sister Lu recalled the appearance of the Su family. Except for the fact that their clothes were a little awful, there was no other problem.
"That's good, that's good. Mom, you've heard that those who were sent back from the countryside are in very bad shape. I heard that their lives in the countryside are very difficult, even worse than those of the villagers."
Huang Xuewen believed his mother's words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of his worry about the Su family.
"Mom, if you have time, go see if Professor Su and the others need any help. Tell them about what's going on at school. Tell them about the family compound and give them some reminders."
Back then, he couldn't help, didn't dare to help, and didn't have the ability. Now that Professor Su and his family are back, he can ask his mother to help him.
"You don't have to tell me, I'll go."
Sister Lu still remembered that Qiao Jiuru had asked her to help take care of the children and gave her a job, and the Su family had good tempers and personalities. They never let her suffer any loss and never took advantage of her. She liked interacting with people like this.
After lunch, Sister Lu went to the building, but after a round, she didn't see any of the Su family members and came back very disappointed.
Unexpectedly, after most of the afternoon, there was a lot of noise and voices coming from the outside.
Sister Lu went out to take a look out of curiosity, and found a truck parked near a building not far away, and people from the furniture factory were constantly moving things downstairs.
"Who bought this bed and table and chairs?!"
"I don't know, it looks like a lot."
"I know. I just saw it. It was bought by Professor Su's house just after Tiangang came back."
"That's really fast."
"Yeah, I heard they were allocated two apartments, one with two bedrooms and one with one bedroom."
"Why give them two houses? We only get one."
"Isn't it normal for them to get two houses?! All four of them are professors, and Professor Su Ze and Professor Zhou are married with two children. Do they really want a family of six to squeeze in together?! They are two families, and all four of them work at Peking University. You have one person working at Peking University, and you still get one house. Why can't Professor Su's family of four get two houses?!"
When Sister Lu heard that someone had objections to the Su family being allocated two houses, she couldn't stand it and went straight up to start a fight.
Why?!
Of course, since the whole family works at Peking University, it is normal and reasonable to have two houses.
Sister Lu's words immediately silenced everyone present. Most families living in family housing complexes have one or two people working at Peking University, but no one has four people working at Peking University like the Su family, so if they really have any opinions, they must not target the Su family.
At this moment, Qiao Jiuru brought Zhou Wanwan, Dabao and Xiaobao back with a lot of bags.
"Professor Qiao, let me help you."
Seeing this, Sister Lu took the initiative to go over and help the two children carry their things. The two little guys were carrying a washbasin and two thermoses.
"Sister Lu, thank you."
It turned out to be Sister Lu who came, and Qiao Jiuru thanked her with a smile without being polite to her.
“Thank you, Grandma Lu.”
"Grandma Lu, thank you."
Dabao and Xiaobao carried the bag for almost half an hour and were a little tired. It was hot, so they finally wiped the sweat off their faces and sincerely thanked Sister Lu.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. You guys are very powerful."
Looking at the two children she had been raising for more than a year, Sister Lu was about to burst into tears and felt extremely distressed.
"Professor Qiao, why did you buy so many things?!"
Sister Lu deliberately asked loudly, "Isn't this obviously obvious?"
"We just got back the day before and were allocated another house. We had no place to stay at night, and since it was still early, we quickly went to buy beds, tables, and chairs so we would have somewhere to sleep and eat."
Qiao Jiuru knew that Sister Lu asked this on purpose, so he cooperated with her.
The conversation between the two was naturally heard by everyone watching the excitement not far away. Everyone then understood why the Su family, who had just returned, bought so many furniture and other things at once.
