Qin Ying was still thinking about Ji's family coming to visit her, so she talked about it.
Wu Guixiang nodded, "Why bother? You should have come a long time ago. The kid Xiao Yue came alone before. This time the whole family comes. It's fun for everyone to celebrate the New Year together."
Ji's family is equivalent to the third daughter-in-law's natal family, so of course she won't have any objections.
"By the way, did Xiao Yue also apply for a school in Beijing?" Wu Guixiang suddenly thought of this.
"Yes." Qin Ying smiled and nodded, "He and Yunyun both applied to the same school, both at Huaqing University."
"That's good." Wu Guixiang nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, the two children will be in the same school and can take care of each other."
Su Aimin curled his lips secretly, taking care of him was nothing, but he was afraid that he had ulterior motives. He kept looking at Ji Yue for his impure thoughts.
Wu Guixiang thought for a while and then said: "I was thinking, now that we are not as strict as before, our family still has to do something about this happy event. Just now, the mother-in-law next door asked me, it happened to be the Chinese New Year, or else? Let’s set it on New Year’s Day, a double happiness.”
In the past, only red and white events could be handled simply, but other happy events were still not dared to be arranged in a big way. In the past year, everyone can clearly feel that the control over these has been loosened, so Wu Guixiang Only then did I dare to suggest hosting this banquet.
Speaking of the New Year, Li Xiulian looked thoughtful. She hesitated for a moment and then said to Wu Guixiang: "Mom, isn't it also New Year's Day when Sui Sui turns one year old? I was thinking, why don't we just have fun together?"
She asked a little nervously, fearing that her mother-in-law would think she had her own little thoughts.
Wu Guixiang didn't think about anything else. She felt that it was the same reason. It had to be done anyway, so she simply did it together. She nodded, "Okay, then our family will have three blessings."
Li Xiulian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Zhang Xinlan was a little dumbfounded, so to put it this way, the two elders and the third elder’s family had happy events, but only the second elder’s family didn’t, right?
No, she had to think about it. Is there any happy event for the second child's family? Zhang Xinlan began to think.
Everyone was chatting about the New Year, not listening to the chopsticks in their hands, and munching on meat. Although their family didn’t miss meat, who doesn’t love meat? It's impossible to get enough of that.
Just after lunch, the Su family became lively. People came to the door one after another. They were all candidates who had received tutoring from Su Qingyun. They got good results in the exam, so they naturally came to thank her as their teacher.
The first one to come was Xia Qiu. Her mother led her and came crying again.
Xia Qiu has been in a state of excitement since she came back from town after seeing her results. When she returned home, her mother Xu Hanhe was shocked, thinking that her daughter had failed the exam. She had words of comfort on her lips, only to realize that she was I cried because I did so well in the exam. I couldn’t laugh or cry immediately.
Xu Hanhe was grateful from the bottom of her heart for Su Qingyun's help to Xia Qiu. She knew that if Su Qingyun hadn't been by Xia Qiu's side to supervise her, she would definitely not have achieved such good results in the exam. She originally thought about bringing her daughter to the door to say thank you, but when she saw that It was dinner time, and it was a good habit to come to the door when it was not meal time, so it was only now that she brought Xia Qiu to the door to say thank you.
"You said you would come as soon as you came. What did you bring with you?" Qin Ying frowned and looked at the things in Xu Hanhe's hand, which was a large jar of malted milk, as well as various sugars. It would cost a lot of money.
Xu Hanhe smiled and said: "Compared with Qingyun's help to Qiuqiu, what is this?"
Su Qingyun looked at Xia Qiu's still red eyes, held her hand, and asked softly: "Qiu Qiu, how many exams did you take?" Xia Qiu and she were not in the same exam center, so she didn't know the results.
"340 points." Xia Qiu said with sobs. Although she felt that the exam went well, she did not expect that she could score such a high score. She felt like she was in a dream all the way back from the town.
"That's great!" Su Qingyun looked pleasantly surprised. She was really happy for Xia Qiu. Xia Qiu's grades were higher than she expected, so it was not a big problem to get into her first choice.
"Qingyun, I really... really thank you so much." Xia Qiu looked at Su Qingyun and said this in the end.
Su Qingyun smiled softly and said, "It has nothing to do with me. This is all the result of your own efforts."
"No, it's not!" Xia Qiu shook his head like a rattle, "It's because of you, it's because of you." It's because of you that we have role models and goals, and we have the direction to move forward.
"Okay, okay." Seeing that she was about to cry again, Su Qingyun said quickly, "It's all because of me, okay?"
Xia Qiu burst into tears and laughed.
Xu Hanhe watched this scene with relief. She and Qin Ying had similar experiences. They were the first batch of educated young people to go to the countryside from big cities. Although she could not take the college entrance examination this time because of her age, she was not too disappointed. I just have some regrets.
If there was really an opportunity to take the college entrance examination in front of her now, she might not go because, unlike Qin Ying, she could no longer leave this land.
"When I go to school in the capital, Qingyun, you have to help my aunt keep an eye on her." Xu Hanhe said with a smile.
"I will, Aunt Xu." Su Qingyun nodded seriously.
Xia Qiu muttered, "What do you mean by looking at me? I'm not a fool."
"Who said you are a fool?" Xu Hanhe said angrily, "I want you to be at peace and not cause trouble outside." Although she said this, her eyes were full of worry for her daughter.
The capital city is not as small as theirs. If something happens, they can only be anxious. Their children have traveled thousands of miles and their mothers are worried. This is how they feel.
As soon as Xu Hanhe and his daughter left, people from the Su family came again, and none of them came empty-handed. From something as large as a pen to as small as a pack of biscuits, they expressed their gratitude to Su Qingyun, no matter where they went in the future. , no matter how far they go, they will never forget that in 1977, during the season from autumn to winter, there was such a person who lit up their way forward.
Song Yan also came. He gave Su Qingyun a book and said with a smile: "This is my favorite book. I give it to you as a thought."
His first choice is a university in a provincial capital, and it may be difficult to see him again in the future.
Su Qingyun took a look and saw that it was a collection of Pushkin's poems. The book had signs of being read, but it was wrapped in a book cover. It was obvious that the owner loved it very much. Su Qingyun opened the book and saw Song Yan's strong and handsome handwriting on the title page.
"If life deceives you, don't be sad or impatient! You need to be calm in the melancholy days. Believe that happy days will come!"
This is Pushkin's poem "If Life Deceived You."
"This poem has accompanied me through many years. In the days to come, I hope it can also encourage you to keep moving forward." Song Yan said.
His smile was cheerful, without any hint of the gloom of the past.
