Wang Minggui opened his mouth to explain, but Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "I have something to do, so I'll go in first."
He didn't want to comment on the couple, but he remembered that Wang Minggui's children were all quite young, especially the youngest who was only a few months old.
Perhaps it's because he's become a father that he's more tolerant of children.
He remembered that An'an hated taking the train. Towards the end, she became listless and looked pitiful with her head down.
Even with Song Qing and him taking care of one child, they couldn't make her sit comfortably for the entire time, while Zhou Lian had to face so many children all by herself.
As a father, regardless of what happened between Wang Minggui and Zhou Lian, he should at least have ensured their safe return.
His discomfort lasted until he entered the house.
"Dad, Auntie got into college."
————
An'an and Liu Jiandong waited outside for a long time. When they finally went in and found her aunt's name, she clapped her hands excitedly.
Liu Jiandong gripped her leg tightly, almost losing his balance.
"Don't move, or you'll fall."
"Xiao Hui, don't be nervous. You're so smart, you'll definitely pass the exam."
The crowd outside did not disperse for a long time. Some were so excited that they wanted to jump up and shout with a megaphone, while others were dejected and hanging their heads. Aunt Tian was not nervous at first, but she held Lu Ronghui's hand tightly from behind.
"What's wrong with Dongzi? He still can't understand after all this time. I think he's gone to the point of having a pig brain from reading those books."
She stood on tiptoe, leaning on Liu Jiandong's shoulder to figure out their location, but Liu Jiandong hadn't sent back a message for a long time.
"There are too many people, and with so many names on the list, it's not easy to find them."
"Hey, hey, they're coming out!" Finally, she saw the two of them walking out. Aunt Tian craned her neck and waited for them to come to her.
"how's it going?"
"I passed! I passed!"
Aunt Tian clapped her hands with joy, just like An'an; passing the worker's exam was a big deal.
"It would be great if we could get two strings of firecrackers, Dongzi. You ride your bike to the city later and call your brother and the others back for dinner. We need to celebrate properly."
It's a pity your sister-in-law isn't here; she'd be so happy if she knew.
Many villagers also inquired about the news from them. When they heard that Lu Ronghui had passed the exam, they looked at her with envy, and their hearts also began to stir.
This girl is not only an educated youth, but also has a secure job. How wonderful it would be if she could become their daughter-in-law?
I'll have to ask around when I get back; if I can marry her, I'll be incredibly lucky.
If Aunt Tian knew, she would definitely spit on them. A toad trying to eat swan meat. He was such a good young man back then, but the other girl's brother didn't even want him.
Why don't you take a piss and go back to look at yourself in the mirror?
Many passed the exam, but even more failed. They didn't acknowledge Lu Ronghui, and their eyes held a hidden jealousy when they looked at her.
Aunt Tian knew that even if she was happy, she had to go home to be happy, so she immediately pulled Lu Ronghui back home.
"The pig leg from last time is already dried. Since we're in a good mood today, let's eat it."
Lu Ronghui wanted to say no, because Aunt Tian originally wanted to keep it for the New Year, but Aunt Tian was in a good mood and wouldn't listen to her at all.
"I almost forgot about your brother. Call him over later."
She took Lu Ronghui home to cook, Liu Jiandong rode his bike to the city to call for help, and An'an volunteered to go home to the family compound to wait for her father.
When Lu Yang heard the news, his mouth practically stretched to the back of his ears. He immediately picked up his daughter and tossed her into the air, making An An giggle.
Where is your aunt?
“Dad also went to my third aunt’s house.”
