Today is New Year’s Eve.
Everyone looked joyful and the New Year atmosphere was very strong.
While the adults were busy in the kitchen, Dabao and Xiaobao took Xiaoxiangxiang to read comic books and told her stories while they were reading. The three little ones were very funny.
Now not only are there too many people at home, but the kitchen can't even fit them all. So, Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze, and Fu Qiusheng continued to help the school repair desks and dormitories today.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish, four-happiness dumplings, steamed pork with rice flour, stewed lamb with potatoes, sweet and sour spare ribs, and also ordered a roast duck, three fresh vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, shredded potatoes, and kimchi.
There is strength in numbers, and with five women working together, the meal is almost a piece of cake.
Lian Ailian and Tao Aihua liked the atmosphere of the Su family very much. Knowing that the Su family sincerely welcomed them, they were no longer so restrained.
The five women were still talking while they were working, and Tao Aihua and Lian Ailian were asking Qiao Jiuru for advice.
"Aunt Qiao, I want to stay in Beijing after graduation. Do you have any advice for me?"
"Aunt, my daughter Xiangxiang's father has decided to stay in Shandong Province, but he wants to stay in the best place in Shandong Province. He is worried about the household registration issue and being assigned to a bad place."
Even before they started college, they were already worried about what would happen after graduation. However, their situations were special, so it was a good idea to start early.
Moreover, they asked the right person. In this area, Qiao Jiuru is naturally professional and particularly far-sighted.
"Xiao Tao wants to stay in Beijing. If he continues to take the postgraduate entrance exam, he can either stay on as a teacher or become a teacher at another university in Beijing. As long as he completes his postgraduate studies, staying in Beijing is not a problem. If you don't count the postgraduate entrance exam, since you are studying at a communication university, then you should find a way to get into a newspaper or a news or television station. Try to find a way to stay here first."
Tao Aihua was alone, so if she had the guts to fight, it wouldn't be a problem. Besides, graduates from communication universities generally got assigned to provincial-level units, so it wouldn't be that bad anyway.
"Xiao Lian, if you and your wife want to stay in Ji'nan or Qingdao, you should either continue your studies or continue your education. The higher your education level, the greater your chances of staying. Just like you've been admitted to a normal school, you must first excel in school. Secondly, after graduation, you can become an elementary school teacher in Ji'nan or Qingdao. With your college degree, that shouldn't be a problem."
"Although Xiao Fu got into university, it's not Shandong University, so the school is a bit inferior. However, he can apply for graduate school, and he won't have any problems finding a job after graduation. However, you two must make sure Xiao Xiangxiang is settled. If neither of you has relatives in your hometown who truly care for Xiao Xiangxiang, I advise you not to send her back. In fact, it's better for the child to stay with you. But it's not good to have no one to help take care of the child, so another solution is to hire someone. I think it would be best to ask a trustworthy relative who is honest, kind, has good character, and is responsible to come and help, and provide food, accommodation, and wages."
"Of course, even though you two have free room and board at university, hiring someone to look after the child and provide food and drinks will definitely cost money. Even if you have savings, they will eventually run out."
"Think carefully about asking a relative to take care of the child. Decide who would be the right person and how many years you can sustain it. In three years, Xiaolian, you'll graduate and be able to work and earn money, and Xiaoxiangxiang will be almost old enough to start elementary school. Then she can go to and from school with you, and it won't be a big problem. The hardest part is actually those first three years of school."
"Finally, I'll give you a small way to make some money. You can contribute articles to newspapers and earn some royalties. What kind of topics should you write about? The safest ones are children's stories, stories about the hard work of educated youth during the college entrance exam, or short stories that use allegory or practical tips in life. If you two gain a little fame in this field, it will be very beneficial for your graduation placements."
…
Not only Tao Aihua, Lian Ailian also listened very carefully, even Zhou Wanwan and Su Huazhu listened attentively. They didn't expect that many difficult things would be quite easy when they came into Qiao Jiuru's mouth.
However, it is easier said than done.
But now that someone has given me directions, I am no longer panicked.
At noon, everyone started to eat the New Year's Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere, which lasted for more than an hour. In the afternoon, the men did not go to school to work, so they divided into three groups to chat in the living room and the room.
After another dinner, they began to keep watch. Fu Qiusheng had already learned about the suggestions and advice Qiao Jiuru had given to the couple, and he also contacted Su Huaiyuan, who then asked him some questions in this regard.
Afterwards, Su Huaiyuan gave Fu Qiu Sheng all the newspapers he had subscribed to when he returned to Beijing, asking him to read and learn more.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Dabao, Xiaobao, and Xiaoxiangxiang began to feel tired, so Qiao Jiuru and the others quickly cooked dumplings, fed them to the little ones first, wiped their faces and hands, and fell asleep just after eleven o'clock.
After the three children fell asleep, it was an hour before midnight, and Qiao Jiuru and the others cooked ten dumplings for each person. But just as they had finished sharing the dumplings, there was a knock on the door.
It's so late?! Who would come to someone else's house?!
Although everyone felt a little puzzled, Su Ze, who was closest to the door, stood up and opened it. However, just as he opened the door, a bright and cheerful voice rang out from behind:
"Brother, Happy New Year!"
