On Sunday, Zhao Ruozhu called the whole family home for dinner.
"I invited a photographer to my home, and after dinner, the whole family took a photo together," she said.
In fact, everyone knows that the chances of Yu Xiangnian returning to Nancheng are slim.
Top students from Peking University will definitely stay in Beijing after graduation.
After that, they saw Xiang Nian only a few times.
When taking the photo, Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu sat in the middle, while Xiaojie, Duoduo and Guangming stood on both sides.
Yu Xiangguo, Yu Xianghua, Yu Xiangyang, and Cheng Jingmo stood behind Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu, while Yu Xiangnian, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law stood on both sides.
After the family photo was taken, Yu Jiashun waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse. "Niannian, just follow us."
He didn't want to think about Yu Xiangnian in the future and see his three sons when looking at photos!
Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu were still sitting, and Yu Xiangnian stood behind them, hugging them with his arms respectively, bending his body with his head between them.
After taking this photo, Zhao Ruozhu called Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie over and said, "Take a photo of your family of three as well."
Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie all have this idea.
The three of them were standing, with Yu Xiangnian in the middle.
She knew that in front of so many people, Cheng Jingmo would definitely be very serious.
She took the initiative to hold Cheng Jingmo's arm, and put her other hand around Xiaojie's shoulder. The three of them were very close.
Cheng Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at the white hand on his arm, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Yu Xiangnian also took a solo photo.
The photographer will deliver the photos the day after tomorrow, and Yu Xiangnian will leave in five days.
Just after taking the photo, Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie came back from outside.
Yu Jiashun started again, "Old Qiu, are you back?"
Qiu Dahui quickened his pace, walked back to his home without looking around, and closed the door.
Yang Jie walked behind and said to Zhao Ruozhu with a look of disgust, "You should also tell me about your old Yu. He brags about his double happiness to everyone he meets all day long. Everyone in this family compound is afraid of him!"
Zhao Ruozhu could only smile helplessly.
If his three sons had been admitted to university or had children, Yu Jiashun would definitely not brag about it to others, but for Yu Xiangnian, that would be impossible!
No one knew who had spread the news that Yu Xiangnian had been admitted to university and was pregnant, but it spread throughout the entire residential compound.
The family members didn’t know about Peking University either. They only heard Feng Aiqun say that Peking University is in Beijing and is one of the best universities in our country.
"Comrade Yu is a golden phoenix. He will fly away sooner or later. How can he stay in our family compound?" Feng Aiqun said with emotion.
"Of course!" everyone agreed.
Living in a family compound is the best life for them. With men supporting the family, they don't have to work in the fields.
"How do you send your children to school now?" someone asked.
Feng Aiqin had never been to university, so she had no idea. She said vaguely, "Anyway... just go there."
"If you give birth to a child, can you still bring the child into the classroom?"
"She's gone to college. What's Deputy Head Cheng going to do?"
"How many years does it take to study at university? Will she come back?"
“···”
Feng Aiqin was unable to answer question after question. "Let's go home and cook!"
For three consecutive afternoons, Cheng Jingmo didn't have to cook.
I had dinner at Sister Liu Zhen’s house the day before yesterday, at Wang Hongxiang’s house yesterday, and at Feng Aiqun’s house today.
Other family members also invited Yu Xiangnian and his family to their homes for dinner, but Yu Xiangnian politely declined.
On February 28, two days before Yu Xiangnian left home, the three of them returned home again.
Zhao Ruozhu handed them the developed photos, two family photos of the whole family, two family photos of the family of three, and three solo photos of Yu Xiangnian.
One of them was a quintile, which Yu Xiangnian specially left for Cheng Jingmo.
She went to a department store, bought a wallet, and put the photo in it.
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu called Yu Xiangnian to the room as usual.
This time she was given a passbook. When Yu Xiangnian opened it, she saw a full two thousand yuan!
She closed the passbook and joked, "Mom, our family is so rich, and you still teach us to live on coarse food all day long."
Zhao Ruozhu was in no mood to joke with her today. "Keep it well. It'll be used when you go to college."
Yu Xiangnian placed the passbook on the table. "You keep it. I don't need it, and college doesn't cost money. Cheng Jingmo's salary is enough."
"Here!" Zhao Ruozhu stuffed the passbook into her hand again. "In case anything happens, use it for emergency!"
"Mom, I really won't be able to use it!" Yu Xiangnian pushed the passbook back. "I'm a young person and capable of earning money. You're old, so keep it for yourselves."
Hearing this, Zhao Ruozhu's eyes turned red. "Child, you've suddenly become sensible. I used to blame your dad for spoiling you!"
Yu Jiashun hid in the corner of the door, listening secretly, his eyes also red.
Yu Xiangnian wiped the tears from Zhao Ruozhu's face with a tissue and said casually, "I'll be back after the vacation, just over three months. Besides, I'll call you every week."
All parents are like this. They hope their children can fly high, but at the same time they are reluctant to let them fly too far.
Zhao Ruozhu suppressed the sadness of parting and said, "Take care of yourself. You are two people now, so be careful in everything you do."
"Don't worry, I know."
Zhao Ruozhu added, "If you need anything, call your dad. He also has comrades in Beijing."
"Yes, I will."
"Call Mom if you want something to eat, and I'll send it to you."
"good."
Zhao Ruozhu held Yu Xiangnian's hand and gave him instructions all night long.
Yu Jiashun's guard drove them back. Looking at the car driving out of the family compound, Yu Jiashun wiped away his tears.
The sadness in my heart was beyond my comprehension, and I could only blame Zhao Ruozhu, "You had to force the passbook on her!"
Zhao Ruozhu was also holding back her sadness and cursed, "Why don't you come in and stuff it in?!"
Back home, Yu Xiangnian took out his wallet and waved it in front of Cheng Jingmo, "Here you go."
When Cheng Jingmo opened it, he saw Yu Xiangnian.
In the black and white photo, she has black hair, an oval face, delicate features, and her eyes are particularly beautiful, slightly curved, smiling and shining.
Yu Xiangnian said with a smile, "Keep your wallet with you. You can look at it whenever you miss me. The two family photos are a bit big, so you can keep them at home."
Cheng Jingmo responded in a deep voice, "Okay."
The closer it got to departure, the more reluctant Cheng Jingmo became.
