"I'm not tired either. Go get some water and wash up. Otherwise Mingze might come back and you won't have finished cleaning up." Mother Lu heard her daughter's words and waved her hand, not letting her daughter take care of her.

Instead, he told her to clean up quickly and stop wasting time.

Seeing her mother like this, Lu Qingyan curled her lips and went out to fetch water with an enamel basin.

After washing up, everything was ready and Gu Mingze came back with the food he bought.

"These are fresh from the restaurant. Let's eat them while they're hot, or they'll get cold when we get on the train." Gu Mingze put the lunch box and oil paper bag on the table beside him and called his father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over for dinner.

He opened the oil paper package and said to his wife and son: "These are freshly-made buns with cabbage and pork fillings. They smell delicious. Eat them while they're hot."

After saying this, Gu Mingze went out to wash his hands, then came back with the buns and handed them to his two sons, asking them to blow on them before eating to avoid getting burned.

"Dad and mom, you guys eat too. There aren't many steamed buns here, and everyone is not allowed to buy more. Otherwise, I would have bought a few more." Gu Mingze bought eight meat buns in total, gave one to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and gave one to each of his two sons.

I gave one to myself and my wife, and there were two left for my two children later.

If they are not full, they can still eat the food you bought for them.

After eating, it is convenient to get on the train.

"Your father and I had dinner at home this morning. You can keep these buns for yourself." When Mother Lu saw the buns handed over by her son-in-law, she waved her hand and said that they had eaten at home and were not hungry at the moment.

"Eat quickly, these are the two buns. Don't refuse. If you like them, we can go home and buy some meat to make them ourselves. We can steam a big pot of them and eat as much as you want." Seeing that her mother was trying to refuse even one bun, Lu Qingyan spoke up.

"You are the only one who doesn't know how to live. You steamed a whole pot of it as if you could finish it." After hearing what her daughter said, Mother Lu stopped refusing, but still rolled her eyes and said unhappily

"Haha, I can't finish it, but we have a big family, so my dad and Mingze can definitely finish it." Lu Qingyan said with a smile after hearing this.

Just like that, after they finished their meal, they took their things and went out to check out.

Gu Mingze and Lu's father both had large bags on their backs and their hands were full of things.

Mother Lu and Lu Qingyan each held a child to ensure that they would not get lost in the crowded situation.

After checking my ticket at the station, squeezing onto the train and finding my seat, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This place doesn't look that big, but why are there so many people getting on the train every time?" Mother Lu sat on the top of the sleeper berth, looking at the people outside the train and sighed.

"Some are on business trips, some are going to the countryside, and some are visiting relatives. If you add it up, there are a lot of people." Lu Qingyan heard her mother's words and answered from the side.

"Alas, these kids are going to the countryside at such a young age. How can they do farm work?" After saying this, Mother Lu seemed to remember something and said, "They can't get into college now. Gangzi and Shitou are getting older. When they graduate, won't they have to continue working in the fields at home like you did?"

"It depends on luck. If they are lucky, they may find a job after graduation, but generally speaking, people from rural areas basically continue to work in the fields." After hearing what her mother said, Lu Qingyan said without thinking.

But after saying that, I suddenly remembered that there were only four or five years left before the college entrance examination.

At that time, even if Gangzi and Shitou graduated and returned to the brigade to work.

It won’t be long before you can take the college entrance examination.

When the time comes, I'll get into university and start working, which is definitely better than working in the fields.

Thinking of this, I said: "Anyway, they still have several years to go before graduation, why think about this now? Maybe one day the college entrance examination will be resumed and they can go to university."

"Come on, forget it. If the college entrance examination could be reinstated, it would have been done long ago. Why is it that after so many years, not only has the college entrance examination not been reinstated, but a bunch of children have been sent to the countryside?" When Lu's mother heard her daughter's words, she waved her hands and said she didn't believe it.

"I was just saying this casually." Seeing her mother like this, Lu Qingyan just smiled and didn't say anything else.

After all, no one would believe this kind of thing even if you tell it to others, so you should just wait until that day comes.

Gu Mingze looked at his wife deeply, then turned his head to look outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

After getting on the train, the two children were not as happy as they were at the beginning.

Section 109

I just sat there and started taking out paper and pen to write.

"These two kids seem to love writing. Why don't we let them start writing when we get back?" Father Lu was sitting next to his two grandsons. Seeing that they started writing as soon as they got on the train, he turned around and said to his daughter.

"Isn't it too early? They are only a little over three years old. Let's wait a little longer." In her previous life, Lu Qingyan started learning all kinds of things since she was a child. Later, she went to school for extra lessons.

Now that she has her own children, she doesn't want them to start learning at such a young age, so she simply shook her head and rejected her father's words.

"You let the two children go to school when they are still so young. What if they get bullied at school?" Mother Lu agreed with her daughter and pouted at the old man.

"I just said that. If you don't agree, forget it." After listening to his daughter and his wife, Mr. Lu felt that it was a bit too early to send the child to school, so he stopped talking about this topic.

Seeing that both children were being looked after, Lu Qingyan went to sit next to Gu Mingze and whispered to him what her mother had said to her today.

"Don't worry about it. If they really come to the army to find us, we can't stop them." Gu Mingze heard my wife's words, and anger flashed in his eyes, but he still spoke gently to my wife.

"I'm just telling you this so you can be prepared, but they don't know when they'll come, so don't worry about it." Seeing her husband's gloomy face and anger in his eyes, Lu Qingyan comforted him softly: "Anyway, our family can't afford to pay a penny. Even if they come, it's useless. I'm here to block all of this, so don't worry about it."

"This is my family's business. How can I let you stand in the way? Wouldn't that make me seem useless?" Gu Mingze chuckled when he heard his wife say that.

"What do you mean by your family's business? Since I married you, isn't your family also my family? It's not easy for you to get involved in this matter, so try not to get involved." Lu Qingyan felt that if her father-in-law really came to the army to ask for money, it would be better for her to get involved herself.

After all, she is a woman who refuses to lend money and no one can do anything about it.

But if it were Gu Mingze, it wouldn't work because others would talk about him and say he was unfilial.
