"Is it really that good?" Zhang Xinlan asked again in disbelief.
"Really." Su Qingyun nodded affirmatively.
The smile on Zhang Xinlan's face grew wider and wider. She thought to herself, if Congwen could really go to military school and become an officer, wouldn't she be the officer's mother in the future?
"Congwu, come in with me quickly. I want to write a letter to your brother."
Zhang Xinlan said that wind is rain and called Su Congwu, saying that she had to write a letter to Congwen quickly and ask him to sign up for the college entrance examination!
Su Congwu was speechless. "Mom, the registration period is only a few days. By the time your letter arrives, the registration will have already ended. My brother has his own plans, so don't worry about him."
"I'm your mother, how can I not worry?" Zhang Xinlan glared at him. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said as if she had made a major decision, "Then go to town and send a telegram to your brother. Telegrams are fast."
telegraph?
Su Congwu widened his eyes in horror, "Mom, are you willing to send a telegram?" Her mother is such a stingy person, but now she is willing to send a telegram?
"Snap!" Zhang Xinlan gritted her teeth. How could the money for a telegram be as important as being an officer?
Su Congwu's look was indescribable. Was his mother crazy?
"Congwen is in the army, how could he not be as thoughtful as you? Why are you so worried?" Wu Guixiang could tell what Zhang Xinlan was thinking. "Don't nag Congwen and ask him to do this and that. If it were you, I would just write a letter and ask about the situation. Whether Congwen goes to university or not is his own business."
"Yes, mother, my brother has always been a man with his own ideas, so you don't have to worry about him." Su Congwu also said.
Zhang Xinlan curled her lips and said, "Of course I have an idea." If he didn't have an idea, could he have signed up for the army without saying anything?
"Okay, I don't care about you anymore. Do whatever you want." Zhang Xinlan said to Su Congwudao, "Come and see the clothes I made for Chunchun." Now in her heart, the most important thing is no longer her two sons, but her precious grandson.
Wu Guixiang was speechless. This guy really wanted to do whatever he wanted.
Su Qingyun laughed.
"Oh no! The girl from the Lin family jumped into the river!"
What? Wu Guixiang and Su Qingyun looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Jumped into the river? Who jumped into the river? What happened? Go and take a look!" Zhang Xinlan, who had just entered the house, rushed out like a gust of wind and ran out directly. The words she left behind were carried in the wind.
Su Qingyun, Wu Guixiang, and Su Congwu: "..."
This speed...
"He runs faster than a rabbit!" Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Yunyun, let's go take a look too." After saying that, she walked outside.
Su Qingyun: “…” Grandma, you’re not slow at all.
When they arrived at the river, the daughter of the Lin family, the protagonist who jumped into the river, had already been rescued. She was sitting on the ground, her whole body wet. She was shivering with cold wind. Her eyes were dull and frighteningly red and swollen. It was hard to tell whether the water on her face was river water or tears. She looked extremely pitiful.
Wu Guixiang was startled and quickly asked the people around her, "Aunt Zhang, what's going on?"
Aunt Zhang lowered her voice and said, "It's all because of the college entrance exam."
"Take the college entrance exam?" Wu Guixiang was even more confused. What did the Lin family's girl have to do with jumping into the river and taking the college entrance exam?
"Have you forgotten that the Lin family girl's husband, Zhou Jun, is also an educated youth? Now he's clamoring to take the college entrance exam, but of course the Lin family girl won't agree. Their little Mu is almost three years old. How can he live without a father?"
"But Zhou Jun insisted on leaving. So, the Lin family's daughter had no choice but to threaten him with death. Alas, he's such a pitiful person. Is getting into college really that important? He even gave up his wife and children."
Aunt Zhang shook her head, looking disapproving.
Wu Guixiang also remembered that the husband of the Lin family's daughter was also an educated youth in their Luoshui Village a few years ago. His name was Zhou Jun. It was said that there were not many people left at home. Later, he married the Lin family's daughter and became the son-in-law of the Lin family. He always looked honest. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing as abandoning his wife and children?
"Hasn't he already taken the exam yet? He knows he'll pass?"
"Oh, it's the Lin family who won't let him take the exam. Think about it, if he doesn't pass, it's fine, but if he does, who can stop him?" Aunt Zhang whispered, "I heard that the Lin family's daughter went to the team leader today and asked him to cross Zhou Jun's name out. Zhou Jun found out and had a big argument with the Lin family's daughter. I think they even got physical. That's why the Lin family's daughter jumped into the river."
Wu Guixiang sighed after hearing this, "This girl from the Lin family is too stupid." If a man wants to leave, you can't keep him no matter what you do. Risking your own life to keep another person is the most foolish thing to do.
Su Qingyun looked at the woman sitting on the ground and sighed in his heart. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, there will be more tragedies like this when the educated youth return to the city.
The tide of the times divides people. Some go with the flow, while others go against the current and try desperately to swim back.
Qin Youfu stood aside and advised: "Yanhong, you should get up first. It's cold in this weather. Don't get sick. If there is anything, we can solve it slowly. If you are wronged, I will definitely help you."
He was also having a headache. When Zhou Jun came to register, he asked several times whether he had discussed it with his family. He always answered yes, and then he registered him. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen now?
"Yes, Yanhong, your body is your own after all. Wouldn't your parents be heartbroken to see you like this?" someone nearby echoed.
Lin Yanhong didn't answer, her eyes were dull, as if she had lost her soul.
Everyone around looked unbearable, and some started to curse.
"That Zhou Jun is such a piece of shit, how could he do such a heartless thing? He was penniless back then. If Yan Hong hadn't liked him, would the Lin family have let him be their son-in-law?"
"Exactly. What an ungrateful bastard. Not to mention Yan Hong, Xiao Mu is his own flesh and blood, so adorable, how could he be willing to give him up?"
The Lin family's conditions were considered good in Luoshui Village, and the Lin family had only one daughter, Lin Yanhong, so her parents loved her even more. Even when their daughter fell in love with an educated youth who had nothing, they accepted it and made him a live-in son-in-law. However, they didn't expect that in the end, he turned out to be an ungrateful person who could not be tamed.
As they were talking, Lin's parents arrived.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Lin collapsed to the ground instantly. She kept slapping the ground and howling, "Yanhong, why are you so stupid? If you were gone, would you let me live like this?"
The sound was heartbreaking.
"Xiao Mu, come here quickly and call your mother."
The chubby little boy was frightened by the scene and threw himself into Lin Yanhong's arms crying, "Mom!"
Lin Yanhong finally reacted. Her body was shaking and she cried bitterly while holding her child.
