There are four brothers and sisters, all of whom are studying.
"No more?"
Let’s not even talk about how hard I worked to have enough food to eat since I was a child, and what I paid for going to school.
Is that all?
Zhao Donglai looked at Lu Youyou in confusion. Is he done?
Is there anything else that needs to be added?
"At your age, hasn't your family built a new house for you?" Grandpa Lu said this on purpose. He intended to play the bad guy.
Zhao Donglai immediately forced a smile and said, "At the beginning of the year, my family built a brick house with six rooms. It's a bungalow. I haven't been home for almost two years."
Six rooms?
"A family living together?"
Zhao Donglai still had a smile on his face. "My father is the youngest. My grandparents lived with my uncle and his family. We separated a long time ago."
"Six rooms. So, you brothers and sisters each have one room. You're the eldest, so your parents will live with you in the future?"
Lu Youyou wanted to stop her grandfather from asking any more questions, but was held back by him.
"According to the custom of our brigade, parents are supposed to live with the eldest child, but my parents plan to live with my younger sister."
Living with your sister?
Not to mention Grandma Lu, even Grandpa Lu was slightly shocked by this matter.
I have a son at home, why would he live with his daughter? Isn't this a slap in the face of his son?
This is not just one son, the family has two sons.
"It's my younger sister who is currently studying for a double degree at Tsinghua University. She's in delicate health, and my parents originally planned to find a son-in-law for her."
Studying for a double degree?
"You just need to take two professional courses, and you will have two certificates when you graduate. Jiaojiao is very capable. She got first place when she went abroad last year, and at the beginning of the year she also compiled an English book with their professor." Lu Youyou praised Zhao Jiaojiao, and she really admired her.
They knew about the overseas competition. It was reported at that time and they saw it in the newspaper. Grandpa Lu was so excited that he ate an extra bowl of rice.
Writing a book is not an easy job and requires ability.
The girl is quite capable as she can edit together with the professor.
"She also used her salary from translation, bonuses, and factory work to buy a courtyard house near Tsinghua University."
Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu looked at each other. Buying a courtyard house is not cheap, and this young man’s sister must be younger than him.
It's a good material for reading.
So they don't worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
“She’s still working in the factory??”
Zhao Donglai took over and said, "Our brigade has a duck factory. She and several educated youth started it back then. She is the leader of the factory. Although our brigade is in the countryside, we had electricity and roads built two years ago, and a school was built last year."
The young man was full of pride when talking about his sister.
Nowadays, many places in rural areas do not have electricity. Their brigade was able to have electricity a few years ago, before the college entrance examination was resumed, which was considered quite capable.
Building roads and schools is an aspect of focusing on education.
"My younger brother came to Kyoto just after taking the college entrance exam. I heard him say that our entire team now has no major mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues."
"Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem?"
"I'm not exactly sure about this, but I do know that because of the duck factory, all the children in the brigade don't have to pay for education."
Grandpa Lu coughed lightly and asked, "How many ducks does your duck farm produce every year?"
Zhao Donglai thought for a moment and said, "Last year, we sold 20,000 ducks."
Twenty thousand ducks?
This profit is more than enough to gradually improve a large team.
Look at this little girl who changed the whole team.
When I think about my own grandchildren, I really want to throw them away.
"Grandpa, Jiaojiao is really amazing. I also heard that she published another book with the professor. The previous one was sold out, and she also photocopied many copies. She often comes to my dormitory and brings me a lot of food."
