Chapter 103 Great Changes in Times
Proper exercise helps you sleep.
Shen Xiaoyue woke up naturally early in the morning, feeling relaxed all over, and inexplicably thought of this sentence.
She glanced at Lu Ping'an who was sleeping soundly, stretched, and changed her clothes.
"Mom, we are going to the county town today, what should we buy?"
In fact, the New Year’s goods purchased every year are almost the same. Just buy whatever the supply and marketing cooperative has. But she still couldn’t help but ask, making this matter even more anticipated.
Wu Qingyun was leading Sun Min and Tan Li to cut windows.
Last year's window paper-cuts convinced the neighbors next door of their defeat, which greatly encouraged Wu Qingyun, so he tried to come up with new designs this year.
In order to ensure quality, he even kicked Siyu and Sixia out.
Wu Qingyun saw her wake up, but he didn't stop moving his hands: "Don't worry, I made a list yesterday and put it on the table. There are pumpkin dumplings on the stove, you can have some first."
After saying that, he immersed himself in his own creative career.
Sun Min and Tan Li secretly raised their heads and gave Shen Xiaoyue a bitter smile.
They really have no creative talent and can only pretend to be serious about creating some not-so-good-looking window grilles.
Shen Xiaoyue glanced at Wu Qingyun and gestured to them, imitating the opening of a clam oil.
The two nodded.
Shen Xiaoyue tiptoed back to the bedroom, fearing that Wu Qingyun would remember her and grab her to cut paper-cuts.
Lu Ping'an woke up, sat on the bed, staring at the empty bedside in a daze, his eyes still a little blurry.
When I heard the sound of the door opening, I subconsciously looked towards the door.
"young married woman."
Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up and he spread his hands.
When Shen Xiaoyue approached the bed, he automatically crawled to the bed, put his arms around her waist, and rubbed his face against her soft waist and abdomen.
Like a puppy waiting for its owner, it starts wagging its tail as soon as the owner comes.
"Why did you get up so early today?"
The puppy sounded a little dissatisfied.
Shen Xiaoyue touched the top of his fluffy hair and said, "Who can I blame? I was so tired yesterday that I woke up early because I slept so deeply."
Oh, that's really his fault.
My wife is already up, so there's nothing wrong with this bed.
Lu Ping'an got up, packed up briefly, said hello to Wu Qingyun, and rode his bicycle out with Shen Xiaoyue on his back.
Perhaps because people have hope in life and a direction to work towards, there are more and more people in the county town, and the New Year is becoming more and more lively.
The small supply and marketing cooperative was almost packed with people.
The county town attaches much more importance to learning than the village. People passing by are discussing the college entrance examination and future study directions.
"What do you think? Will the college entrance examination be held this year or in the future?"
"This recovery should mean that we will take the test in the future!"
"Then our kid must catch up on his studies. He hasn't learned much in all these years."
"My child is taking the college entrance exam. I originally told him not to take it because he didn't learn anything, but he said he should take part if he has the chance!"
"If you pass the exam, it will be amazing. Whether it's a university or a junior college, you will be guaranteed a job. You will have a bright future. Your whole family will be able to live a good life!"
Several people around nodded in agreement.
There are also many voices of disapproval.
"What's the point of learning these things? Will they be used when I get a job in the factory? They say there's a guaranteed job, but the factory is full, so where can I get a job?"
"If you ask me, you should find a way to use your connections to get the baby in as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to get a good job!"
"It can be resumed this year, and it can be cancelled next year. Learning all this time is just a waste of time. Look at us, we can't read a single word, but we still get 30 yuan a month!"
"That's right. How many of the educated youth who went to the countryside could earn so much? Oh my."
The two groups had nothing to talk about and soon dispersed.
"My child received the admission letter! He was admitted to a junior college!"
"Is this true, sister-in-law? Your family really has a cultured person. Shouldn't you treat us sisters to a drink?"
"Of course, of course, please come later."
The woman happily weighed out some snacks that she usually didn't want to eat.
Although it was not yet the time of reform and opening up, the county town had already shown a thriving scene due to the resumption of the college entrance examination.
If you think a little, you will realize that this means letting go step by step.
This is the opportunity and vitality brought about by the great changes of the times.
Lu Ping'an spotted a gap and dragged Shen Xiaoyue in.
...The smell in the supply and marketing cooperative is not very pleasant.
It is not very convenient to take a bath in winter. It is common to only touch the water once a week.
There are few people who are as diligent as they are in boiling water for bathing.
If you sweat a lot, you will have a sweat odor.
The supply and marketing cooperative was full of people, the air was not circulating, and the smell was very complicated.
Shen Xiaoyue buried her face in Lu Ping'an's arms, smelling the faint scent of soapberries on him, and then she barely took a few breaths.
Although he didn't know the reason, Lu Ping'an was very happy to see her throw herself into his arms.
In such a crowded situation, their intimate behavior was not out of place.
Lu Ping'an simply held her in his arms and walked forward with her.
He is tall and can see at a glance where the things he needs are.
Lu Ping'an struggled to reach the things buried in the crowd, while Shen Xiaoyue caught them below.
When the two came out after shopping, Shen Xiaoyue's carefully braided pigtails became a mess, and the hair tie of one of the pigtails fell off.
Lu Ping'an's coat was also covered with a thin layer of dust.
The two men's embarrassed appearance made them laugh out loud.
As usual, they bought some fried dough sticks, some clothes, and had a meal at a state-owned restaurant before they set out on their way home.
When she got home, she found Wu Qingyun standing at the door. There was a person standing opposite her, who seemed to be a postman delivering letters. He handed something to her and Wu Qingyun looked excited.
Seeing the two men coming back, Wu Qingyun raised the thing in his hand and waved it at them vigorously.
"It was sent from Jing City!!!"
Two full envelopes.
The neighbors were sitting at the door peeling green beans and chatting. When they saw this scene, they could no longer sit still. They wiped their hands on their bodies and gathered around.
"What is this? Isn't this an acceptance letter?"
"No way, how can there be two acceptance letters?"
Wu Qingyun didn't tell anyone that Lu Ping'an also took the college entrance examination.
"Open it quickly and let us have a look."
Aunt Li started to make a fuss.
She felt that it shouldn't be the case. It was a university in Beijing. How could it be so easy to get in? I heard that there are few people who can pass the exam in the city, let alone in their village.
Wu Qingyun ignored her and handed the two envelopes to Shen Xiaoyue.
"Xiaoyue, this is for you."
This gives her the choice of whether to demolish it here or not.
Shen Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel her heart beating with excitement. Although she knew it was almost certain, she couldn't stop feeling nervous.
As a result of her trembling hands, she glanced at Lu Pingan.
Lu Ping'an nodded at her, silently supported her elbow, and gave her some strength.
As the New Year approaches, no one goes to work, and more and more neighbors gather around.
