"Xiaojun, I want to ask you, if you could go to university, would you choose to continue studying or find a job?" Lu Yuan asked.
Lu Xiaojun was stunned. "Go to university?"
If he could go to university, he would naturally want to continue his studies. However, the universities he attends now are worker-peasant-soldier universities, which are basically recommended for those who perform well at work.
Could it be that his brother is trying to pull some strings to get him into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
Thinking this way, he asked the question.
Lu Yuandao said, "It's not a worker-peasant-soldier university, it's a proper university."
"A proper university?"
Lu Xiaojun wondered if his older brother had gotten drunk from drinking with Yuanchao earlier, and that's why he was talking nonsense.
Where can you still go to a proper university these days?
Lu Yuan noticed his confusion and smiled, saying, "I have inside information that the college entrance examination will be reinstated by the end of this year at the latest, and all major universities will resume enrollment at that time."
"Really?" Lu Xiaojun was overjoyed.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. "Yes, really."
Lu Xiaojun said excitedly, "Big brother, I will continue studying, I will go to university."
Lu Yuan also raised the corners of his mouth, "I said a long time ago that when you grow up you can go to university, and after you graduate from university the school will assign you a job. The job assigned then will definitely be better than the factory job you are in now."
Lu Xiaojun nodded emphatically, "Yes, I know."
"Since you've decided to go to university, then study hard. I'll give you a set of study materials. If you can master those materials, getting into a good university won't be a problem."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, big brother."
Lu Yuan instructed, "Don't leak the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination. The specific policies haven't been released yet, and we shouldn't be the ones spreading this information."
Lu Xiaojun quickly assured him, "Brother, don't worry, I know what's important, I won't tell anyone."
After saying that, he seemed to think of something and hesitated before speaking again.
"Big brother, can't Wenqi tell us either?"
The Wenqi he mentioned is the young man from the Wei family who has returned to Kyoto. The two became friends years ago and have maintained a close relationship over the years.
The Wei family was exonerated and returned to Beijing last year. Wei Wenqi also left with them, but Wei Wenshu stayed behind and married Yu Shaoheng.
After Wei Wenqi returned, she maintained contact with Lu Xiaojun. In addition to writing letters, the two would occasionally call each other.
This was his only friend, and Lu Xiaojun really wanted to tell him the good news.
Although Wei Wenqi has been living in a cowshed and unable to attend school for the past few years, Lu Xiaojun has been giving him his books to read in private.
He secretly studied on his own, and his parents and uncle could teach him anything he didn't understand. He didn't fall behind in his textbook studies.
Lu Yuan said, "Don't worry, they're in Beijing, and their information network might be even better than ours. But next time you write, you can subtly mention it."
Lu Xiaojun nodded happily, "Yes, big brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this except Wenqi."
Lu Yuan nodded. "Okay, now you just focus on your studies. As for the school matters, how do you plan to handle them? Do you need me to get involved?"
"No need for you, big brother. I can handle it myself. I roughly know who's behind this. I don't care about the job now, but the other party shouldn't even think about taking it from me."
"Okay, then you can handle it yourself. Just let me know if you need any help."
Even so, when Lu Xiaojun wanted to return to school, Lu Yuan still personally drove him there.
With more than a month until the holiday, Lu Xiaojun decided to stay at school until then and then go home to study.
Lu Yuan was also going to the county town anyway, so he drove the person to the school gate.
There aren't many people who can afford to ride in a car these days. Even school leaders don't have cars, let alone a Jeep like this.
When Lu Xiaojun got out of the car, the students passing by stopped to watch.
"Brother, I'm going in now, goodbye."
Lu Xiaojun was deeply moved. He knew why Lu Yuan insisted on driving him there.
He said he didn't need help and wouldn't interfere with what he wanted to do, but he still came to support him, letting everyone know that although he had lost his parents, he still had his older brother and family to rely on.
Lu Yuan got out of the car, took a large cloth bag from the back seat and handed it to him, and then helped him straighten his clothes.
"Go on, focus on your studies. There are review materials and some snacks in the bag. If you can't finish the snacks, share some with your close friends."
"There's also a camera inside, consider it a high school graduation gift from your brother. I've prepared several for you to take photos with your teachers and close friends when you graduate."
Lu Xiaojun was so moved that he almost fell into Lu Yuan's arms, but he managed to hold back when he saw so many people watching.
"Big brother, thank you!"
A simple thank you is not enough; he must repay his elder brother with practical actions and be filial to him in the future.
"Go inside, don't let anyone bully you. There are no cowards in our family."
"I understand, brother!"
As Lu Yuan drove away, classmates who recognized Lu Xiaojun immediately surrounded him.
"Xiaojun, who is this?"
Lu Yuan watched the car drive away, a smile curving his lips, quite proud, "My older brother."
"Your older brother? Your biological older brother?"
"Yes, my elder brother."
...
After leaving the school, Lu Yuan drove to the government building.
The county leadership has now undergone a major reshuffle. Luo Yaoguo has been promoted to the city, and Xiao Fan has been transferred back to the commune as secretary, following in Feng Tao's footsteps.
Qian Weixin and Feng Tao have now been transferred back to the county. Qian Weixin is now the county head, and Feng Tao is now the party secretary.
The two appear to be at odds and bicker whenever they meet, but only they themselves know how close their relationship truly is.
Both of them are married with children, have stable families, and are doing well at work. As long as they don't make any mistakes, their future is definitely bright.
Having not seen each other for a long time, they inevitably had to have a few drinks.
Since he was already in the county, he took some wild game to the machinery factory and furniture factory to maintain his connections.
That evening, I went to Monkey Three's place and delivered two large truckloads of goods. I also delivered a truckload to Big Pancake Brother, and I made another 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
The next day, Lu Yuan did not rush back to the brigade, but went to the train station instead.
A few days ago, Cheng Yanqiu said that he had settled things at home and was coming to his place.
Counting the days, they should arrive in the next couple of days. Since we're already in the county, we might as well pick them up before heading back.
I waited two days before I finally received the person.
"Lu, I'm so happy to finally see you again."
Upon meeting, Cheng Yanqiu was so excited that she tried to rush over, but Lu Yuan dodged her with lightning speed.
"Alright, Brother Yanqiu, hugging and cuddling are not appropriate in the country."
Cheng Yanqiu didn't mind and said with a smile, "I'm so happy to see you. You know, I don't know anyone here. It's been so long since I've seen an acquaintance, so it's especially heartwarming."
Lu Yuan understood his feelings.
He put the person in the car and said, "Are you hungry? Come on, I'll take you to a state-run restaurant."
The two arrived at the state-run restaurant and unexpectedly ran into Lu Xiaojun there.
