Beijing City.
After Ye Zhiyu left, the house returned to its cold and quiet state.
Ye Jinlin sat in his study, lost in thought. He opened a drawer and took out a photograph.
She stroked him tenderly, her voice gentle: "You met the boy when they came to see you that day, right? He's actually a very nice guy."
He then added, "But not as good as me."
"They say a mother-in-law finds her son-in-law more and more pleasing the eye the longer she looks at him. You have to stand with me. Even though I've agreed, I won't find anyone who marries my daughter pleasing to the eye."
I put it back in its place, and then I remembered that day when that kid was sitting across from me, promising that he would definitely treat his daughter well.
He said at the time, "My daughter has never suffered since she was a child. I know you love her, but love can't put food on the table. I don't care what your plans are for the future. Things will change after the New Year. You should seize the opportunity then."
The above hints at an openness, and the recent atmosphere has become more relaxed.
Lu Chen recalled Ye Zhiyu's suggestion to reinstate the college entrance examination, and coupled with Ye Jinlin's remarks at this moment, he knew that this would be a good opportunity.
Ye Jinlin sighed, "I wonder how far that kid can go. If he can't do it, should we give him a push?"
——
After the New Year, one by one, the educated youth returned to the places where they had been sent to the countryside to start a new year.
Fu Tingshen and Li Xi arrived later than the others.
Neither of them wanted to come back, and they delayed until they could no longer wait before taking the train back.
When Xu Ronghua came last time, Fu Tingshen's roommate had moved out and never moved back, mainly because he found it troublesome. To him, all houses were the same and made no difference.
So Li Xi moved directly into Fu Tingshen's house.
Fu Tingshen was extremely annoyed, but if he didn't help, Li Xi would definitely cause trouble again. Recently, his father hadn't been home, and he was caught between two women at home, causing trouble every day.
He had just returned and, not wanting to embarrass himself, came to help.
Zhou Xue watched Li Xi pack her things and Fu Tingshen move them, a huge question mark in her mind.
But she and Li Xi had long been irreconcilable enemies, so she didn't ask.
Li Xi, on the other hand, was eager to announce it to the world.
"Zhou Zhiqing, Ting Shen and I got married. Please have some wedding candy."
"Huh???" Zhou Xue was stunned, staring blankly at the few pieces of wedding candy.
Soon, it wasn't just her who was surprised; Li Xi knocked on each door to hand out wedding candies, and everyone's reaction was the same as Zhou Xue's.
The happiest person was Zhou Xue.
"Oh my god, I'm finally free from sharing a room with her. I was always worried that she would do something terrible the next second when I slept with her."
Over the years, there have been many educated youth who went to the countryside, and some of them got married, but in most cases, one was an educated youth and the other was a local, so those who got married moved out to live elsewhere.
There have been similar cases before, like Li Xi and Fu Tingshen, but their endings weren't good.
They are not locals, so no land has been approved for them. Even if it were approved, they wouldn't build there because they will eventually return to the city.
The male educated youth had a somewhat mournful look in their eyes.
Newlyweds will definitely have to do *that*, but this house isn't very soundproof.
Damn it, Fu Tingshen is enjoying the company of women, but what about them?
The first day there was no sound, and they thought the two were just being reserved. But after several days, they realized that the two really had no marital relations, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
You know, they created the conditions before, even when they had none. Now that they're married, are they being reserved? Are they getting tired of each other? Is it true that love is separated by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas can't be leveled?
However, they couldn't very well ask about the couple's affairs, so they could only gossip about it behind their backs.
——
The Lu family.
When Lu Chen returned home, his family was setting up the kang (a heated brick bed).
When they saw Lu Chen return home, everyone except Tao Qingtang, who couldn't get up, surrounded him and asked how he was.
Especially Tian Hongfang: "So, have your father-in-law and mother-in-law approved of you? If not, don't come in."
Lu Yun: "Second brother, second brother, did Sister Ye come back with you? Is she going to become my second sister-in-law?"
Lu Chen flashed a big smile at his family, "Mom, it's time to prepare things, you're going to have to spend a lot of money."
Lu Weimin paused in his hand holding the pipe, his eyes narrowing with a smile.
Tian Hongfang beamed: "Go ahead, you can drain me dry."
That was just a joke; Lu Chen wouldn't do that.
Tao Qingtang held Lu Ze's hand: "That's great, I really like Zhiyu."
Tian Hongfang: "Oh, did they say when her parents are coming over?"
Lu Chen: "Mother, Ayu's mother died in the line of duty when she was young. At that time, only her father may come, but it is hard to say, because her maternal grandfather's family also loved her very much."
Tian Hongfang looked at him with pity, "Alas, God is so unfair, He only takes good people."
No one expected that Ye Zhiyu's mother would have such a thing happen. Tian Hongfang thought that she had mentioned Ye Zhiyu's mother before she came home, and now she realized that Ye Zhiyu must have been very upset at the time.
Tao Qingtang held Lu Ze's hand: "Mother, don't be sad. Zhiyu has family who love her. When she marries into the family, she will have three families who love her."
Tian Hongfang: "Yes, we love her," she warned Lu Chen: "Let me tell you, second brother, you better behave yourself. If you dare to bully Ye girl, you'll see how I deal with you."
Lu Hongwei happened to be going back to town anyway, so the two went together.
"Brother Lu, you look radiant, is something good coming your way?"
Lu Chen parked his bicycle in the transport team's yard, went inside, took a few steps, and then came back.
He reached out his hand to Lu Hongwei.
Lu Hongwei: "???"
Lu Chen said, "Ayu specially customized this for me. Does it look good?"
"Okay, it looks good."
Lu Chen left only after receiving a satisfactory answer.
Lu Hongwei: "Wow, was Brother Lu showing off just now?" He shook his head. "A man who wants to get married is different, sigh."
Spring plowing will begin in April, depending on the weather, which is still more than a month away.
Ye Zhiyu took out the book again. If nothing unexpected happened, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would probably be released in April. Since the country was in need of personnel at that time, the college entrance examination would be held directly in July.
When the educated youth saw her, they all started to learn from her. Anyway, they were idle, and they knew that they wouldn't be able to keep up for long. By then, wild vegetables and other things would be growing on the mountain, and they would be busy.
When they were studying before the New Year, Li Xi and Fu Tingshen were having a big fight. Zhou Xue was never in the dormitory, and the doors to the empty rooms were always closed. She didn't care what others were doing.
Now she has achieved her wish and married Fu Tingshen. Although it is somewhat different from what she imagined, it is not a big deal.
Seeing them studying reminded her, "Oh right, the college entrance examination was reinstated in the second year after I went to the countryside."
Because the news was spread so quickly, it was already close to May when it reached Beijing, further shortening the already limited timeframe.
She wasn't very smart either, and she failed the college entrance exam, which was extremely lenient.
Wait, why are they starting to review now? In their past lives, they were waiting for the news to arrive before starting together.
