But the uncles, aunts and uncles kept asking questions, and Xu Qingluo could only respond while maintaining basic decency.
"Uncles and aunts, your high school teachers are responsible for your college entrance examination."
"We university teachers are not involved in this."
"Don't your university teachers care about the college entrance examination?"
Xu Qingluo smiled and shook his head. The college entrance examination was organized by the Education Bureau.
How can the teachers interfere?
"The college entrance examination is handled by the Education Bureau."
When the uncles and aunts heard that the Education Bureau was in charge of the college entrance examination, they could only sigh with regret.
They thought that Xu Qingluo, a university teacher, knew the college entrance examination questions and could reveal them.
It turns out that the college entrance examination is not something that university teachers are in charge of!
"Education Bureau, did your teachers come up with the questions?"
They are all teachers, so I think they are all the same.
Maybe someone with connections could help me ask?
"I don't know about that."
Xu Qingluo has never set questions for the college entrance examination, but she has participated in grading the examination papers.
"I heard that the current college entrance examination requirements are stricter than in previous years."
"Currently, only students who have graduated from high school and are between 17 and 19 years old can participate."
"Yes, all workers in the first two years can participate."
"How can we reform it just because we say so now?"
As parents, we are all afraid that the reforms of the Education Bureau will affect the college entrance examination.
It is not easy to resume the college entrance examination. What if there is no university to go to?
We are all people who have experienced a "ten-year cultural gap", and we still have some psychological trauma in our hearts.
"Xiao Heng, my dear wife, do you think I won't be able to go to college again?"
"Aunts and uncles, we must believe in the country."
"Xiao Luo said yes."
"The newspapers all say that we value knowledge, so don't let your imagination run wild."
After Grandma Zhou spoke, the uncles and aunts in Grandpa Zhou's family stopped discussing this topic.
After a while, Zhou Yuheng and several grandchildren of Grandpa Zhou came down from the mountain.
The men carried the offerings for the ancestors up the mountain on a shoulder pole, and the women followed with their children.
Zhou Yuheng carried the shoulder pole in one hand and pulled Xu Qingluo up with the other, then took the two sons handed to him by the guard.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'll pick you up later."
"Okay, keep an eye on the two kids."
"Um."
Xu Qingluo walked in front holding Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan, while Zhou Yuheng walked behind carrying a shoulder pole.
When he saw two children almost falling down, he reached out to protect them.
"Slower."
"Yes, Dad."
Zhou Yuheng sent Li Zi and the other two up the mountain, and then went down the mountain to pick up Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou.
With the help of guards and Zhou Yuheng, the two elders also climbed the mountain smoothly.
After going up the mountain, the men began to use hoes to clear the weeds around and on the graves.
Xiaoman, Xiaoyuan and their uncle Zhou Yuheng followed behind to help pull out the weeds.
After the weeds were cleared, the women placed the chickens, ducks, fish, meat and wine they had brought on the ground, and then set out three sets of red bowls and chopsticks.
After a series of customs such as burning incense, burning paper money and setting off firecrackers, everyone finally came forward according to their seniority and bowed to their ancestors.
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou stepped forward and bowed first, and the younger generations followed one after another according to their seniority.
Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan looked at it, then followed their parents’ example and bowed three times, with serious expressions on their little faces.
After a day of tomb sweeping, Xu Qingluo was so tired that he didn't want to move at all.
But dinner still had to be cooked, so she could only push her tired body into the kitchen.
Zhou Yuheng was chopping chicken and duck in the kitchen. When he saw her come in, he whispered a word of concern.
"Rest if you're tired, I'll do it."
"You're more tired."
The man had worked all day, and as his wife she should share some of the work.
We can't let him do it all by himself.
