Yu Sui thought about what she had promised Wu Su and what she would need to trouble Wu Su with next, so she quietly returned to her room and immediately went into the space to buy two more boxes of Big Rabbit Milk Candy.
When he came out, Wu Su was teasing little Tangyuan.
The little guy laughed "giggle", and that sound was so happy and healing.
Yu Sui handed over the candy: "Godmother, now that I really passed the exam, we have to have a formal discussion. Originally, you said that you would go back the day after tomorrow, so can you take this opportunity to go back and talk to the elders? You can go to the capital with me first, and come back after we find a reliable nanny. I know this will be very troublesome for you, but I can't find anyone right now, so I need some time to connect."
Wu Su took the candy first and gave Yu Sui a wink:
"You really are! Have you ever thought about letting me take Little Tangyuan back to the tribe to raise him? The elders in the tribe love him so much, and I can't bear to leave him. If you can let me take him back, everyone will be happy! In that case, I will send him back to you when you have a holiday. How great!"
Yu Sui held her forehead and said, "No, godmother, he's still breastfeeding!"
"So what do you want to do?"
"I still want to ask for your help. Help me get through the first two months in the capital. After two months, I will buy a train ticket to take you back. You can ask for other conditions."
Wu Su frowned and thought for a moment, "I don't have any conditions. I'm already very sad at the thought of parting with Xiao Tangyuan, and you keep bringing this up. Wait until I go back to the tribe and talk to you about it."
Now that Wu Su said so, Yu Sui felt that there was great hope.
But we still need to make long-term plans in the future.
When Xia Lin came back in the evening, he had already heard that Yu Sui had been admitted to Qinghua University. It was impossible for him not to have heard about it. This news was like a tornado that refused to stop, sweeping over the entire compound.
So when the man stepped into the house, he was so happy that he would hug Yu Sui and then his son, but he never opened his arms to hug either of them, which was not enough to express his happiness.
He was jumping around like a child, shaking the house, a perfect interpretation of dancing.
He couldn't close his mouth at all, and complained to Yu Sui that he felt embarrassed to be so happy in the office, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in.
But when he lay down on the kang, Xia Lin began to worry: "Sui, are you really going to the capital? I can't bear to leave you. Don't glare at me, don't scold me, I understand the reason, but I still can't bear to leave you."
Yu Sui withdrew her glare from him and said, "I don't even have the heart to talk to you. Right now, I'm only thinking about how to arrange for the child."
"Just tell me, I'll follow your instructions."
"You don't belong to me, you belong to the country!" Yu Sui snorted.
"Oh!" Xia Lin sighed and held her in his arms: "Why don't you ask our mother if she is willing to go to the capital to take care of you for a while? If they miss the farming work, we can compensate them anyway."
Yu Sui also sighed, "I've thought about that, too. If Mom had come to help me when we were working in the collective, at most she would have lost some work points, and I would have had no problem giving her the money. But now that the land has been divided up, we need to earn some food, and my dad has a bad foot, so I'm afraid Mom won't be able to trust him to take care of the family alone. Plus, my sister is taking the exam too. If she passes, what will happen to her two children?"
Xia Lin: "Do you think she can pass the exam?"
Yu Sui shook her head. "I can't predict that. Intellectually, my sister is no worse than me. She just suffered the disadvantage of marrying early, which delayed her studies for several years. But she's very willing to endure hardships. She told me that she did all the review questions I gave her and reviewed them multiple times. I knew she didn't understand the outside world, so I helped her choose a few schools.
Most of them are in Shanghai, with a small number in Beijing. She's particularly interested in the Shanghai Normal University, thinking she might become a teacher. But after I told her I'd apply to Beijing, she also wanted to join me. So, we'll have to wait until she gets the final say on the matter.
Xia Lin said, "It would be great if she passed the exam like you did and went to the capital. Then, Mom could go there to look after the three children. As for the land, didn't you say last time that our uncle, Yu Qiu's father, is extremely poor? Why don't we ask him to help farm the land at home? That way, Uncle will have food to eat, Dad will have someone to help him, and Mom can get away too?"
Yu Sui was quite pleasantly surprised. "That's a good idea. Why don't I write back and ask? I've been admitted to university anyway, so I have to tell them about this idea. If they can make up their minds, I'll have them send me a telegram. That way, I won't be late for registration in the capital."
"Okay, you write it, and I'll send it to you tomorrow when you're done."
Yu Sui immediately got up and wrote a letter.
After all, she couldn't sleep until her son's problem was resolved.
The next day, Xia Lin went to send it.
Yu Sui estimated that she would get a response from her hometown in a week. She really wanted to know her sister and brother's test scores.
A day later, Wu Su returned to her hometown.
There are only three people left at home.
Xia Linbei specially went to purchase a lot of local specialties, saying that he wanted to make a hot pot with Yu Sui to celebrate his admission to university.
Yu Sui sat on the kang table, eating a steaming hot pot, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news about Han Duomi?"
Although Han Duomi had changed jobs, some of his records hadn't been transferred back home, so he took the exam here, using the address of Heshan Elementary School as his correspondence address. A few days after the exam, Han Duomi suddenly announced he needed to return home, so Yu Sui still didn't know if he had received the acceptance letter.
Xia Lin: "I have to ask you. Since you started reviewing for the college entrance examination, he has talked to you more than to me."
"He hasn't contacted me. It's cold, and I'm too lazy to go out and ask the principal if he's received any letters."
"Then let's wait until he gets back. I told him earlier, 'You might as well wait until you know your results before going back home.' So, why do you think he insisted on going back now?"
Yu Sui looked at Xia Lin and said, "If you ask me that, I really can't guess."
Xia Lin said: "He said that his brothers and sisters are all snobs. Since they don't know whether he got into university or not, he will just pretend that he didn't. He will go back and see how his family will react after they find out about his career change and divorce. If they treat him well, he will do his best to help them when he gets into university.
Even if he doesn't pass the exam, he'll work here after he comes back. He should send some money to those who treat him well and help them. As for those who treat him badly, he won't have any contact with them whether he passes the exam or not. Sui, do you think he wants it, right?"
