Liu Aihua put the washed vegetables in a basket and asked Chenchen, who was cutting vegetables, "My dear grandson, you will be able to see your Uncle Han and Aunt Su soon. Are you happy?"
"Grandma, I'm very happy. The house Uncle Han bought is not too far from our home. An An and I can occasionally stay there for a day. I'm happy just thinking about it."
Chenchen and Anan have had smiles on their faces since they received the call.
When Gu Fanghua and An An came to the kitchen, they heard their mother-in-law and Chenchen talking about Han Zhenyu and his wife getting admitted to university.
She smiled and took the knife from her son's hand, "Chenchen, let me cut it, you and your sister go play."
Gu Fanghua felt that her two children had not been with her since they were young. Although she had not suffered much, she still felt that she owed them.
Now, whenever she is at home, she basically doesn't let her two children cook.
Chenchen just happened to have something to say to his sister, so he smiled at Gu Fanghua and went upstairs to the bedroom with his sister.
After seeing her grandchildren go out, Liu Aihua smiled and discussed things with her daughter-in-law.
"Fang Hua, I don't have anything to do this week, so I'll go with you to help Zhenyu clean the yard. We have two new quilts at home, so bring them along. We'll also buy a set of pots, pans, and other daily necessities."
Gu Fanghua said, "Mom, you're so busy, so don't go with me. Although Zhenyu's house is empty, the neighbor uncle often helps him clean it, so it's very clean. I'll take Chenchen and An'an to buy some daily necessities."
Jiang Peiyuan and Liu Aihua both work in the army. Now it's almost the end of the year and it's a busy time, so there's really no need for her to help with the cleaning.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Liu Aihua was afraid that the children would be careless, so she gave them another instruction. "Fang Hua, get everything you need, don't forget anything."
Gu Fanghua smiled and nodded, "Got it, Mom."
Liu Aihua sat in front of her daughter-in-law, holding a green onion, and whispered, "After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the authorities have made great moves. This batch of candidates has caught a good time, and they will definitely have great potential in the future."
Gu Fanghua couldn't help but feel deeply moved when she heard this. She had also heard some news about the reforms at work, and was very optimistic about the current policies.
In the past two years, the country has been developing and progressing. With the reform of the system, more people will have the opportunity to receive higher education and realize their own value.
The decision to resume the college entrance examination is of vital importance to China.
Gu Fanghua remembered that her mother-in-law's niece had also been admitted to university, so she smiled and praised her.
"Mom, Linlin is also very capable. She was admitted to the Foreign Languages College. She will definitely be assigned to a good unit after graduation."
When Liu Aihua heard her daughter-in-law talking about her niece, she also smiled.
"I was quite surprised too. She came over last week and you weren't home. The girl said she was an English major and that she wanted to be a diplomat after graduation."
"That's good. A girl should have her own ideas and pursuits." Gu Fanghua praised her for a few words and didn't ask any more questions.
It was none of her business what major other people studied. The reason she brought up this topic with her mother-in-law just now was just to ask politely.
After all, they are relatives from my mother-in-law's side, so I still have to give them some respect.
………
The night before Luo Jie and Zhang Xiujuan left, they invited Han Zhenyu and Sun Dahan's families to dinner.
Several educated youth who had a good relationship with them also came over.
Everyone ate and talked and laughed, reminiscing about the past.
Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Although everyone was still reluctant to leave, considering that Roger and Zhang Xiujuan had to catch a train tomorrow, everyone stood up and said goodbye.
Luo Jie walked them to the door and said to Sun Dahan, "Brother Dahan, sister-in-law, we are not going to take away the pots, pans, and other daily necessities. If you don't mind, you can keep them."
This house belongs to the brigade. When Roger and Xiang Jianguo moved here, they had already reached an agreement with the village.
The two of them were responsible for paying for the repairs, and when they returned to the city, they would return the house to the team.
Sun Dahan went to the team leader to buy the house two days ago, intending to have his eldest son and daughter-in-law move in.
Their Tiezhu got married last month.
Sun Dahan looked at the furniture and daily necessities in the room, smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Jie, why are you dissatisfied? They are all good things. The reason why I bought this yard is that I wanted to keep a memory. When you have time in the future, come back and have a look. There will always be a place for you to live here."
"Brother Dahan, thank you and your sister-in-law for helping us over the past few years. Xiujuan and I will never forget the days we spent here, and we will come to see you when we are free."
As Roger spoke, he looked at Linglan who was standing beside him and said encouragingly, "Linglan, study hard and go to Haishi to study in the future. We will wait for you in Haishi."
"Thank you Uncle Luo, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations of me."
………
The next day it was just dawn.
Roger and Zhang Xiujuan took their son and got on the machinery factory's truck, along with Han Zhenyu.
Looking at the car going away, Wang Fengqin said sadly: "Zhenyu's wife, Luo Jie and Xiujuan are gone. After the New Year, your whole family will go to Beijing to go to school. From now on, we will be the only one left here. I feel bad just thinking about it."
Su Xieqiu smiled and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, this is our root, we will come back in the future."
Wang Fengqin sighed, and seeing Haohao and Xuanxuan stamping their feet, she quickly said, "Go home quickly. It's so cold, don't let the children get cold. The team is slaughtering a pig today, let's go get the meat together later."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll come to see you after dinner."
Su Xieqiu brought the twins back home. Roger and Zhang Xiujuan had eaten here in the morning, and the table was not cleared yet.
Haohao and Xuanxuan took off their cotton-padded jackets and started to clean up the dishes.
"Mom, are we leaving after the New Year?" Haohao asked.
"I don't know yet. It depends on when your father buys the ticket." Su Xieqiu wiped the table clean and asked the two brothers, "Do you miss your brother and sister?"
"Yeah." Xuanxuan nodded, "I want to see my elder brother and sister as soon as possible. And that brother from the Lin family, why do I miss him a little bit in my heart? If my sister knew, I wonder if she would be angry?"
Xuanxuan was talking to himself while washing the dishes.
Haohao put the washed dishes on the shelf and reminded him, "Brother, don't say this in front of your sister. I'm afraid she will beat you too."
Xuanxuan sighed like a little adult, "Brother, why do you think my sister loves to fight so much now? This is not good. She is so fierce. What will I do if I can't get married in the future?"
Haohao said nonchalantly: "If you can't get married, just stay at home and support her. We are three brothers, can't we support our sisters at home?"
Su Xieqiu listened to the two little ones' childish chatter and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
It’s good that he knows how to support a family at such a young age.
If they continue to train like this in the future, she and Han Zhenyu will be able to retire earlier.
