She could only carefully explain to Grandma Guo, as Guo Wenjing had told her, that Guo Wenjing had returned, but had slipped and fallen while going up the mountain with the director to inspect the timber, sustaining minor injuries and was now in the hospital.
Guo Xiaomao was not as calm as Li Yueniang; he almost sat down on the ground on the spot.
This was her only remaining bloodline and her only connection to the world.
While comforting Guo Xiaomao, Xu Weihua helped her put on her coat.
"Aunt Guo, don't worry. I just got back from the hospital. Jin Dong is taking care of things over there. If you're worried, I'll take you there right now. Don't rush, please don't rush."
Guo Xiaomao took a deep breath, "Really not seriously injured? If it wasn't serious, why would you be in the hospital?"
"Let's go, I want to go take a look now."
"It's really not serious, okay, I'll take you there right now. Don't worry, I'm not lying to you."
Time flies.
Su Changzhi's health gradually improved, and Xu Weihua did not return to her original workplace. Instead, she took a sinecure at the nearby Red Tea School.
Su Changqing, who had been bedridden for half a year, returned to his workplace and was immediately given an important position by the dean.
Su Qingci took advantage of her sick leave to stay at home and often hung out with Xu Weihua.
She hadn't told Xu Weihua about coming from the farm yet, but the fresh things that kept appearing in her hands made Xu Weihua feel nauseous.
When Xu Weihua pressed for more details, Su Qingci pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Xu Weihua was at a loss and could only stick to her daughter all day long.
He boasted that he had supported her for half his life, and now it was her turn to support him; he would live a life of luxury with Su Qingci.
Song Jingzhou only spends half of each month completing his monthly research workload, and spends the rest of the time at home with his beloved wife.
A kiss landed, almost suffocating the person in his arms. "Qingci, it's been almost half a month since we last met. Don't you miss me?"
"I'm so worried about you, my heart is breaking!"
She finally managed to push away the person who pounced on her, and before she could even catch her breath, a passionate kiss landed on her neck and collarbone.
Su Qingci struggled while panting heavily, "Song Jingzhou, please come again tonight, okay? I really... lust is a bone-scraping knife."
Song Jingzhou placed that fair, delicate leg around his waist, securing her hips, and pressed down on her. "Qingci, I'm not afraid, my bones are strong~"
"What should I do? I don't want to be apart from you for a single second. I want to hang you on my waist and keep you with me all the time..."
...
The symposium on science and education that changed the fate of millions was held as scheduled.
At the symposium, a group of scholars strongly urged the central government to make a firm decision to reinstate the college entrance examination. At the meeting, the scholars proposed a sixteen-character policy for enrollment: voluntary application, unit consent, unified examination, and selection based on merit.
The great man took a stroke of his pen and removed the words "the unit agrees," thus finalizing the decision.
The college entrance examination system, which had been suspended for eleven years, was restored.
Throughout China, from north to south, people were spreading the news.
Many of the educated youth who were sent to the countryside huddled together and cried.
Su Qingci thought of Li Li, Luo Song, Lu Linping and others who had gone to the countryside with her. Whether on the way to southern Hunan or at the educated youth settlement, they had taken good care of her.
Although she didn't plan to take the college entrance exam, she had several sets of high school textbooks stored on her farm.
One set was kept for Guo Wenjing, and the other three sets were sent to the educated youth settlement in Gaotang Brigade.
Half a month after sending it, Su Qingci received a telegram from the other side expressing their deep gratitude.
Su Jindong's marriage application has been approved, but he went on a mission for two months and only returned a few days ago.
Taking advantage of this short holiday, both sets of elders are preparing to get the couple's wedding done.
Su Qingci and Xu Weihua were definitely at the forefront, spending several days shopping at the Friendship Department Store.
Carloads of wedding supplies were being hauled home.
Because the courtyard was right next door, and Guo Wenjing was the only junior member of the Guo family, Li Yueniang and Guo Xiaomao discussed it and decided to demolish the wall in the middle of the courtyard, merging the two families into one.
Su Jindong and Guo Wenjing's wedding room was decorated on Guo Xiaomao's side.
Guo Xiaomao used to be envious of Li Yueniang having a live-in grandson-in-law, but now he's no different from that, and he's so happy he can't even see his teeth.
Although she used to complain about Su Jindong's incompetence, now that she thinks about it, there really isn't anyone more suitable for Wenjing than him.
She wouldn't feel at ease if he married into another family.
Li Yueniang intended to hold a grand wedding for Su Jindong and Guo Wenjing. After the wall between the two families was demolished, the courtyard became more spacious, and red silk was hung on the trees and door curtains.
Bright red "double happiness" characters were pasted everywhere, and everyone coming and going from the doorway had a joyful expression on their face.
Su Qingci and Xu Weihua brought out a fat pig early in the morning. Uncle Ada was called over to slaughter the pig, and the whole alley of onlookers rushed over to watch the excitement.
Scarlett held the two pig bladders in her hands like precious treasures, and led a group of children in excitedly chasing after them.
Guo Wenjing, the bride, sat happily in her boudoir. Su Qingci and Sixiang helped her braid her hair and applied rouge and powder to her face, making her look even more festive.
The clothes were a red knitted dress and red leather shoes bought from Friendship Department Store, which made Guo Wenjing's skin look even more pink and fair.
Besides Guo Wenjing's colleagues, Su Jindong's comrades-in-arms also came to a table, along with Su Yi, Xiao Liu, Uncle Ada, and other close friends. A total of eight tables were set up in the courtyard.
