"W-what?"
Lin Wanhua's eyes widened and she asked, "Who are you talking about? Who got admitted to Qingdao University and is now in the provincial capital?"
Speaking of Qingdao University, Lin Wanhua was not in a good mood.
Because my son Su Zhen is also old enough to go to college.
When Su Zhen returned to the city last year, they wanted to make an effort to get a recommendation quota to get him into Qingdao University. However, this recommendation quota is not so easy to get, and in the end he was squeezed out. So they thought of making another effort this year, but who knew that in the second half of last year, they suddenly announced that the college entrance examination would be resumed!
My son only attended junior high school and didn’t even finish high school. Why should he take the college entrance examination? !
Now she suddenly told her that Su Ruo, the daughter who was thrown into the countryside and married a poor soldier, whom she thought had become a village woman, a daughter that even Su Jianzhou himself was ashamed to mention, had been admitted to Qingdao University, and had been admitted to the School of Architecture and Art of Qingdao University with the first place!
Lin Wanhua couldn't be any better!
But Lin Wanhua's mind works quite quickly.
She immediately thought of a problem...that is, with Su Ruo's determined family background, how could she sign up for the college entrance examination?
Did he get in through the back door in the countryside?
In recent years, her status in the family has improved, and she is not as cautious as before. Thinking of this, she asked directly, "What? Did Shu Yuelan make a mistake? With Aruo's background, how could she sign up for the college entrance examination?"
Su Jianzhou's face darkened.
When he heard the news from Shu Yuelan, he felt shocked and ashamed, but also happy at the same time. Now, after hearing what Lin Wanhua said, he began to panic... Shu Yuelan had not told him the details of this matter just now.
It’s not Su Jianzhou’s fault that he acted like a frightened bird.
In the past ten years at the technical college, he had seen all kinds of tragedies, and there were countless examples around him.
However, the policy has changed since the year before last.
So after the panic, he calmed down again.
After deciding, he felt that Lin Wanhua's expression, tone and content of her words were not right.
He said with a sullen face: "What do you mean? Do you really not want Aruo to be admitted to university?"
Lin Wanhua's face froze.
She was a little more arrogant than before, but when Su Jianzhou got serious, she didn't dare to confront him.
I didn't dare to really tear off the piece of cloth.
The last time he lost his temper with her was when she listened to her daughter's instigation, saying that Su Ruo's biological mother was the eldest daughter of a capitalist family and must have left behind a lot of jewelry and things, and asked her to try with Su Jianzhou to see if she could get them back.
She asked him tentatively, but he flew into a rage and looked like he wanted to strangle her to death.
After that, she was ignored for a long time, and it was not until her eldest brother came to mediate that things were resolved.
But after he recovered from the shock, he actually showed her a sandalwood box, which contained some gold and silver jewelry, as well as a jade bracelet, several pearl necklaces, bracelets, brooches and so on.
He took out a gold bracelet and a pearl brooch and gave them to her, saying, "Although Ah Lan was born in a wealthy family, her family was hit by war when she was studying abroad, and her parents disappeared. The family property was looted in the war. These jewelry are things she kept with her when she was studying. There are not many... But these are Ah Ruo's mother's things, and the majority will definitely be left to Ah Ruo in the future."
"But you have been with me for so many years, and I have been blessed with you for these years. I will give you this gold bracelet and pearl brooch. I believe that Aruo's mother will not blame me. There are also some left when Jiajia gets married, and I will give some to Azhen when he gets married. So don't think about these things anymore. You know, if we make a fuss, not only will we lose the things, but our family will also suffer."
Lin Wanhua took the gold bracelet and pearl brooch.
The gold bracelet is made of solid gold and is heavy.
The pearls on the pearl brooch are also round and large, emitting a moist glow.
But her eyes were fixed on a curved jade bracelet in the box. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and had a green tint. It was obviously a good thing.
Su Jianzhou saw her eyes and said, "That was a personal item that Aruo's mother had worn since she was a child. She didn't bury it with Aruo back then, saying that she would give it to Aruo in the future. But Aruo's situation in the countryside was not good at that time, so I didn't dare to give it to her. Don't even think about it."
Later, Su Jianzhou locked those things up.
Although she didn't get everything, she finally got to the bottom of it, and Lin Wanhua felt relieved.
Because she is not like her daughter Su Jia who was reborn and doesn't know how the world will change.
She thought Su Ruo was a country woman in the countryside and would never come back. Later, Su Jianzhou was even reluctant to mention her. But those things were there. Wouldn't they all belong to her and her children in the future?
But now suddenly a bolt from the blue came.
Su Ruo is back!
I didn’t return to this home, but I was admitted to Qingdao University!
Lin Wanhua naturally knew what this meant.
She touched the gold bracelet on her hand that was hidden under her clothes, and her heart was in turmoil.
But no matter how turbulent the situation was, she was scared when Su Jianzhou stared at her.
She said, "How, how could it be? But, am I not worried?"
"I'm worried that she may have used some tricks to sign up for the college entrance examination. You know, in the countryside, maybe those commune cadres could have registered her name by giving her a pack of cigarettes. But what is Qingda? There are so many eyes watching her there. I'm afraid that someone will report her..."
Su Jianzhou's face turned pale and blue, he was worried and angry, and he thought of the old things.
Lin Wanhua also recalled the old days.
But what she was thinking was, oh, if it were the same as it was back then, if Su Ruo couldn't go to college, it would be great if her college place could be passed down to her son Su Zhen.
However, this beautiful dream only flashed through her mind, and then she heard Su Jianzhou say in a deep voice: "I heard from my sister-in-law that the man that Aru married lives not far away, just over three hours by car. She may go home on weekends and not be in school, so we won't be able to find her tomorrow. You pack up, we will go to the provincial capital early on Sunday morning, meet Bocheng and sister-in-law first, and then go to see Aru after we find out everything."
Lin Wanhua was shocked again.
She said, "Her man? Jianzhou, didn't she marry a local soldier? I remember it was in Jiang County, Hecheng, in the next province, right? Doesn't it take more than ten hours to get from there to our provincial capital by car? How come it only takes three hours?"
Su Jianzhou frowned.
He also wanted to know what was going on.
But when he asked Shu Yuelan before, Shu Yuelan said in a cold and mocking tone, "Old Su, I just bumped into Ruoruo once at school and talked to her for a few words. I don't know much about her situation. But isn't she your daughter? Who she married and where she lives, shouldn't you know better than me?"
"Could it be that what you told me at the beginning, that Aruo was afraid of getting you into trouble, so she took the initiative to draw a line between you and severed ties, so let's leave it like this for now, and wait until the rumors die down to see if there is a way to get her back, was all false? You don't even know who she married and what her current situation is?"
This is really a deliberate irony.
But Su Jianzhou felt guilty in front of her, his face turned red, but he couldn't say anything in rebuttal, nor could he show any anger.
Therefore, Lin Wanhua's series of questions made him feel embarrassed and angry again, and he became very annoyed.
He said, "What does it matter? If you don't want to go, then don't go. You're not her biological mother anyway!"
Lin Wan
magnificent:......?
She was so angry that she almost jumped up.
She didn't jump up, but her eyes turned red and tears rolled down.
This person hasn't come back yet, and he's already heard some news and he's already started saying such heart-breaking things to her?
She said, "Old Su, do you still have a conscience? I have been married to you for twenty years, I have given birth to your children, and I have worked hard for this family, and this is how you say this to me?"
"Are you hating me for not helping Aruo when she went to the countryside? With her mother's background and her grandparents and uncles living abroad, what can I do? Not to mention her, Ah Zhen didn't even finish high school and went to the countryside! I took great pains to raise her when she was a child, otherwise how could she have been admitted to university..."
"Okay, okay,"
Su Jianzhou was so dizzy from her crying that he stood up from the sofa and said irritably, "Are you done yet? Let's talk about everything after we get to the provincial capital!"
No one slept well that night.
******
Let’s talk about Shu Yuelan again.
She called Su Jianzhou in anger.
But after the fight, I didn't feel relieved, instead I felt even heavier.
She could see that Su Ruo was living a good life now.
She didn't know if dragging people like Su Jianzhou and Lin Wanhua into her life would destroy her originally peaceful and positive life.
But there are always things that need to be faced.
Aruo should also take back the things that Xia Lan left with Su Jianzhou... She can't let Xia Lan's things fall into the hands of Lin Wanhua and Su Jia, the mother and daughter.
Shu Yuelan knew that there would be an activity in Su Ruo's department the next day.
She deliberately told Su Jianzhou that Aruo would not be in school this weekend, just to give Aruo some buffer time.
The next day at noon, she saw that it was almost time and went to the girls' dormitory. She was going to find Su Ruo and tell her that her father would be coming over on Sunday night to see what she thought.
She came at the right time, as Su Ruo had just returned to the dormitory at that moment.
Guoguo was with her.
Earlier, she had just finished a dinner party and was about to return to the dormitory to get some things, when she discovered that Han Zecheng was actually waiting for her at the dormitory building with Guoguo.
Just like last time, she simply brought Guoguo upstairs.
Su Ruo just went upstairs to get some things. When she was about to go downstairs, she didn't expect the loud speaker in the corridor to start the loud voice of the dormitory aunt again...
"301 Su Ruo, someone is looking for you, 301 Su Ruo, someone is looking for you."
Guan Tongtong couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Sister Ruo, there are so many people looking for you every day. Now, I'm afraid that the whole female dormitory building knows that there is a Su Ruo in our 301..."
"I don't know who it is this time. It would be funny if it was a male classmate. My brother-in-law is still downstairs. Those classmates are definitely not strong enough for my brother-in-law..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Wang Dongmei coughing.
Guan Tongtong subconsciously looked over there, and then the voice stopped abruptly.
Because her eyes met the little girl Han Guoguo, who was originally talking to Zhao Xiuli and Wang Dongmei, but was now looking at her.
...She actually forgot that the clever classmate Han Guoguo was also there!
She paused for half a second, then coughed, smiled awkwardly at Guoguo, and said, "Hey, Guoguo, Auntie is used to joking with your mom..."
Guoguo nodded and said seriously, "Well, then, Auntie, just keep joking and pretend I don't exist."
The person opposite was just a four-year-old kid, but Guan Tongtong shivered for no reason.
Who dares to pretend you don't exist? !
She looked at Su Ruo guiltily and apologetically.
Su Ruo found her frustrated look funny and said jokingly, "Next time your parents come over, let's try playing a joke on them."
Guan Tongtong quickly made a forgiving expression and said, "Sister Ruo, Sister Ruo, it's my fault. I spoke without restraint... Alas, now I have no face at all in front of Guoguo..."
Han Guo laughed and said, "It's okay. I won't argue with you. Don't be too sad."
Guan Tongtong: ...
"Okay, let's go down."
The horn was still blaring. Su Ruo greeted everyone with a smile, then pulled Han Guo downstairs.
******
But jokes aside, Su Ruo was still in a relaxed mood in the dormitory, but she felt a little nervous when she went out.
Who knows who is looking for her? !
What if Guan Tongtong's bad words really came true...
The little ghost next to her was still not calm, and asked her: "Auntie, do you have many male classmates looking for you at school?"
Su Ruo:......
She forced a smile and said, "I heard your Aunt Guan talking nonsense. Did Mom drag her downstairs? Even the aunt that Mom knew before came to see Mom a few times, and you and your dad also came to see Mom yesterday... Just listen to that loud speaker. It's loud like this once, and it's enough to make people remember it for a week."
Han Guoguo nodded and said, "That's true. I think that big speaker is quite interesting. Mom, can we go to the department store to buy one this afternoon?"
The topic finally changed.
Su Ruo heaved a sigh of relief and was grateful for the "loud speaker" that distracted her son's attention. She said, "Buy a small one. This big one is too scary when it shouts... If you shout at home, the whole building can hear it."
Han Guoguo smiled and thought the effect was quite good.
But he didn't dare to confront his mother directly, so he smiled and said, "Then let's go and take a look."
The staircase was not long, and the mother and son had already walked down the stairs while talking and reached the entrance to the corridor on the first floor.
Su Ruo's conversation with Guo Guo also alleviated her uneasy mood, but she started to get nervous again when she got downstairs... Fortunately, she stuck her head out and took a quick look, and she felt relieved.
Because she saw a familiar figure.
It’s Aunt Shu.
"Aunt Shu?"
Su Ruo called out happily.
"Ruoruo,"
Shu Yuelan turned around to look at her when she heard the call, but her eyes stopped as soon as they met hers, and the words she was about to say also stopped.
Her gaze shifted from Su Ruo to the little boy she was holding in her hand, and the words she was about to say became, "Ruoruo, what... is this?"
Su Ruo smiled and introduced: "Aunt Shu, this is Guo Guo, the one I told you about last time. She is four years old this year."
Then he lowered his head and said to Guoguo, "Guoguo, this is my mother's aunt... Um, but calling her grandma aunt seems weird, Guoguo, you should call her aunt grandma."
"Aunt."
Guoguo exclaimed in a straightforward manner.
Shu Yuelan was stunned.
Although I have vaguely guessed it.
But when she heard it from Su Ruo's own mouth, she was still shocked and dazed for a moment... After all, in her eyes, Su Ruo was still a child.
But she quickly responded when she heard Guoguo's call, then smiled and looked at Guoguo carefully, and said softly: "This child is really good-looking, and looks a lot like you when you were a child, even your eyebrows, eyes and chin are similar."
As he spoke, his nose started to sour. He said, "Alas, it's so hasty that I haven't prepared any gifts. When we go back to my aunt's house, can my aunt give you a gift?"
Guoguo smiled, revealing two small dimples.
This child's eyebrows and chin are similar to Su Ruo's, and he is more handsome, but overall he still looks like Han Zecheng. Even at such a young age, he already has a bit of toughness and stubbornness when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, his dimples appear, and he immediately has the shy sweetness of Su Ruo's childhood.
Shu Yuelan is even rarer.
She said, "Ah, there are still your dimples."
Su Ruo smiled.
She felt that because of her son's dimple, she couldn't deny that this was not her son.
Bloodline is really a very strange thing.
But after talking for a while, Shu Yuelan realized a problem.
She looked at the small suitcase in Su Ruo's hand and said, "Ruoruo, are you going out? This child... is his father here too?"
He couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere.
Only then did Su Ruo remember Han Zecheng who was left outside the door.
She looked in his direction.
Shu Yuelan also followed her gaze.
It's the man just now.
Shu Yuelan saw him when she first came over.
In fact, with his looks, height and aura, it was hard not to notice him standing there.
When her eyes swept over him earlier, a thought flashed through her mind, wondering who this man was and why he was here.
But I never thought of connecting him with Aruo.
Su Ruo smiled and said, "He's outside. Aunt Shu, wait a moment. I'll ask him to come over and talk."
