"Thank you." Su Qingyun thanked him sincerely. It was a very beautiful blessing, so she accepted it.
"I should thank you." Song Yan said with a smile.
He may always remember that early spring morning when Su Qingyun said to him: If we cannot change the world, then we must not let the world change us. He will never forget her smiling and saying: Autumn is a good season and there will be good news.
Song Yan thought that he should just keep all those doubts in his heart. He just needed to remember her words and move forward.
Because of that temporary college entrance examination cram school, the college entrance examination candidates in Luoshui Village and the neighboring villages scored far higher than those in other villages. Many people were able to go to their favorite universities as they wished. This extremely high university admission rate alarmed the Municipal Education Bureau.
But when they heard that this was all thanks to Su Qingyun, they were not surprised. It seemed that no matter how strange the things happened to this young girl, they would become reasonable because she herself was a miracle.
New Year's Day is approaching, and the meaning of the New Year is getting stronger. One day before the New Year, the postman rode his bicycle and stopped at the door of the Su family. Zhang Xinlan finally waited for the happy event of their second wife. She received the letter and package sent back by Su Congwen from the army.
There were two big hams in the package. Wu Guixiang had them written on it when she sent the letter last time, so that Congwen could send them back to eat during the Chinese New Year. The ham has a rich and delicious taste, and everyone in the family likes it very much.
In addition, there were some local specialties sent back by Su Congwen.
Zhang Xinlan didn't care much and was just busy reading Su Congwen's letter. The learning atmosphere was very strong before, and she was influenced by it. She knew a lot more words and now she didn't need anyone's help to read.
After reading the letter, she was delighted and told her family, "Congwen is now a squad leader in the army!"
"Wow, Congwen is doing great. He has become the class monitor." Su Aimin praised.
Su Dalin smiled visibly and praised, "Well done, Congwen!" Apart from the news about Su Qingyun, what made him happiest was Su Congwen's affairs in the army. After all, he had a special feeling for soldiers.
"He is worthy of being my son!" Su Aidang looked proud.
Li Xiulian asked curiously, "How many people does a squad leader in the army manage?"
How many people? Zhang Xinlan scratched her head. "The letter didn't say. It should be similar to a class in school, right?" Aren't they all called class monitors? That should be about the same, right?
Su Qingyun couldn't help but smile, "Second Aunt, a squad in the army usually has ten to twelve people, not that many."
"Then I can take care of about ten people." Zhang Xinlan didn't feel that the number of people was small at all, and she still looked proud.
"That's really impressive." Wu Guixiang rarely refuted her. "Anyway, as long as everyone is making progress, it's a good thing!"
Zhang Xinlan asked hurriedly, "Mom, are we going to have four happy events tomorrow?"
Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said, "You can have as many celebrations as you want, okay?"
Zhang Xinlan: “…”
The whole family laughed.
"Congwen also said that if he has the opportunity in the future, he wants to apply to a military academy," Zhang Xinlan added.
Hearing this, Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and she finally realized why her second brother didn't apply to the military academy this year? Military academies resumed enrollment in 1978, and it was still an unknown to the public.
"Ambitious!" Su Dalin was the first to agree with Su Congwen's idea.
Zhang Xinlan happily imagined how glorious it would be if she became an officer's mother in the future.
Just as everyone was happily discussing, the Ji family of three had already arrived at the door of the Su family. Ji Yu and Ji Yue were carrying large and small bags of things. He Qiu tilted his head and asked Ji Yue, "Ayue, is this the place?"
"That's right."
He Qiu raised her hand and knocked on the gate, but no one answered. She put in a little more strength and knocked a little louder.
Inside the house, the noise of laughter stopped.
Li Xiulian wondered, "Is there someone knocking on the door?"
Zhang Xinlan was even more puzzled, "When people from our village come, will they knock on the door?" When villagers came to visit, they would just stand outside and shout and wait for people to respond. Knocking on the door was out of the question.
Everyone was quiet for a moment and listened carefully. Someone was indeed knocking on the door.
"It should be Sister Qiuqiu and the others!" Qin Ying reacted suddenly and hurried out to open the door. Su Qingyun followed behind her.
The family looked at each other and stood up to go out to greet them. After all, it was the first time that the third son's wife's family came, so they had to give them face.
"Sister Qiuqiu, Brother Yu, and A Yue." Qin Ying's face was excited. She hadn't seen He Qiu for a long time.
"Yingzi, it's been so long and our family has just come to your house. I'm really sorry." He Qiu apologized.
"What are you talking about? You're busy with work, it's great that you can come." Qin Ying disagreed, "Come on, go sit inside, it's cold outside."
It snowed heavily the past two days, and the road was covered with a thick layer of snow. Qin Youfu also organized everyone to sweep the snow. It was so cold that it was not easy to come here.
"This must be the third daughter-in-law's sister and brother-in-law, right?" Wu Guixiang walked up to them and greeted them warmly.
"Hello, Aunt Wu, I'm He Qiu, this is my lover Ji Yu, this is..."
"Xiao Yue, we all know him and have met him before. Come in and sit down." Wu Guixiang smiled and looked at the two of them subtly. As an intellectual, she looked different from others.
"Why are you bringing so many things? Really, why are you being so polite?" Wu Guixiang said politely, looking at the bags in their hands.
Zhang Xinlan took a look and her eyes widened a little. This family brought many good things.
"It's a New Year gift, it's what I should do." He Qiu said with a smile.
"Third brother, why don't you take it quickly!" Wu Guixiang ordered Su Aimin.
Su Aimin took the things from He Qiu and the other man, and a group of people went into the house again.
Su Aimin put down what he was holding and went to light two braziers. The cold outside the house dissipated and the warmth inside the house increased. The two families sat around in a circle.
Knowing that the Ji family was coming, the dishes at home were prepared in advance. It was still early, so there was no rush to make dinner. Everyone chatted first.
He Qiu took Qin Ying's hand and said, "Yingzi, you don't know how happy I was when I knew you were admitted to university. You can finally...finally..." go back.
It's not like before, just going back to take a look and being a passer-by, but finally having the opportunity to return to the place where she was born and raised and start her life again.
She and Ji Yu have been here for many years, and she is always thinking about the capital. When He Qiu heard that Qin Ying was admitted to university and could go back, she was extremely happy.
That’s great. One of the two sisters is getting better and better. Even if it’s not He Qiu herself, she is happy for Qin Ying from the bottom of her heart.
