It seems that Aunt Cuihua is very happy today! I wonder what good news it is!
Xu Zhixin discovered that Liu Cuihua was in a very good mood early this morning. She was particularly happy and kept humming a song.
When Xu Zhixin saw Liang Jinxiu coming to the well with a basin to fetch water, she told him that she felt Liu Cuihua was very happy and whether there was any happy news.
"My second brother is coming back, that's why my mother is so happy!" Liang Jinxiu replied with a smile.
"My second brother is studying in high school in the county town. He usually only comes home on weekends, but he didn't come home last weekend.
Last weekend he asked his classmate who lives in the next brigade to come back and send a message, saying that he was busy and couldn't come back last weekend, but only came back this weekend. My mother missed him very much... It's been half a month since my mother saw him. Now that he is coming back, she is naturally very happy!"
"So that's how it is, no wonder!" Xu Zhixin started washing her face and was a little curious about Liu Cuihua's second son.
During the few days I stayed at the Cheng family, I often heard Aunt Cuihua praising her second son, and it seemed that she particularly liked him.
No wonder, her second son is a high school student. There are not many high school students in the city at that time, so it is rare, let alone in the countryside.
At that time in the countryside, there were often only one or two high school students in a brigade. Sister Jinxiu told me that there was only one high school student in the Liu'an Brigade, and that was her second uncle. Her second uncle was not like her husband, who was not good at studying. He could not concentrate on reading and felt dizzy when he saw a book. He refused to continue studying before he even finished elementary school.
Her second uncle has loved reading since he was a child and his academic performance has always been good, so he was easily admitted to junior high school, and later it was not difficult for him to be promoted to high school.
Although the college entrance examination had been cancelled at that time, the team leader and Aunt Cuihua felt that the Cheng family had been farmers for generations and their ancestors had never produced a scholar. Now that they had a second son who was able to read, it really brought honor to the Cheng family. They must support their second son to go to high school and graduate from high school. In ancient times, a high school graduate would definitely be considered a scholar.
Moreover, high school graduates are in great demand. After graduation, they will be able to get a good job and marry a city wife.
At this time, high school graduates, even if they came from rural areas, had the opportunity to be assigned to good units in the city, and it was not a problem for them to marry a city wife.
Therefore, the team leader and Aunt Cuihua valued the second son very much and hoped that he would bring honor to the Cheng family.
Because they have been working and living together these days, Sister Jinxiu has been getting closer and closer to her. She treats her as her best friend and tells her everything.
Sister Jinxiu once talked about her second uncle and told herself that the team leader and Aunt Cuihua both firmly believed that her second uncle was a talented person and that after graduation he would be assigned to a good unit, he would have a bright future, get promoted and make a fortune, allowing them to enjoy a good life.
The captain would often say that although he was the captain, he was just a small official, pitifully insignificant, and he hoped that her second uncle could become a high-ranking official, many times more powerful than him.
After hearing this, she did not think that the captain and Aunt Cuihua were so bold or daydreaming, nor did she laugh at their ideas. She believed that hoping their children would become successful is the wish of every parent and there was nothing ridiculous about it.
After Xu Zhixin finished washing her face and poured out the water, Lu Pinjie also came out to wash her face. She got up later than Xu Zhixin today.
"Good morning, Sister Zhixin and Sister Jinxiu." Lu Pinjie, who was holding a washbasin and a washcloth, saw Xu Zhixin and Liang Jinxiu by the well, and greeted them while yawning.
"Look at you yawning, you haven't gotten enough sleep yet!" Liang Jinxiu laughed. "Did you sleep very late last night?"
