Duan Mingjie felt warm in his heart. He took her hand, pulled Lu Yao into his arms and held her in his arms, suppressing his voice.
"good."
Lu Yao hugged his waist, raised her little face and smiled at him, "Where are you working today? I'll make a meal and send it to you. I have nothing to do at home. I thought I went out to eat, and I didn't When you go to your construction site, just tell me a place and we will meet there. After dinner, you will go back to work without delay."
She knew that Duan Mingjie kept it secret from her because he didn't want her to worry, and she also took his self-esteem into consideration.
He certainly didn't want her to see his downtrodden side.
"Daughter-in-law, I will just have something to eat at home in the morning. Don't go there at noon. Everyone will have a big pot of rice. I will come back and eat by myself. What should I do if everyone follows suit in the future?"
Lu Yao's face fell, "Okay then."
Duan Mingjie pinched her little face and said, "Let's go, I have to eat quickly, it's almost time."
Hearing this, Lu Yao stopped sticking to him, and the two of them went to eat in the courtyard.
After going to the construction site, I have to work for a while before eating. I eat too early and won't last until noon.
Duan Mingjie left after eating, and Lu Yao went back to the bedroom to sleep.
At around seven o'clock, Lu Yao got up to deliver food to Grandma Yue and met Guan Zhenlian.
Guan Zhenlian's face was almost broken with laughter because she didn't know what kind of happy event she had encountered.
Lu Yao teased her, "Aunt Guan, you are going to marry your daughter-in-law, are you so happy?"
Guan Zhenlian has a son and a daughter. Her son is 17 years old and is in the second grade of high school. Her daughter is 15 years old and is in the third grade of junior high school.
Guan Zhenlian gave her an angry look, "Xiao Nizi will make fun of me."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "It seems that something good has happened."
"What a great thing!"
Guan Zhenlian clapped her hands excitedly, "Yao Yao, our country is going to resume the college entrance examination!"
Hearing this, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, looking like she couldn't believe it, "Aunt Guan, is the news reliable? Where did you hear it?"
Guan Zhenlian waved her hand, "It's spread all over the street!"
Lu Yao said deliberately, "Really? Could it be that someone is spreading rumors?"
"It's definitely not a rumor. I heard that in a few days we will notify you that the government will start printing public notices and there will be a meeting."
A smile appeared on Lu Yao's face, "Aunt Guan, I would like to congratulate you, your son is just in time."
There is no senior year of high school in Beijing, students graduate directly from the second year of high school.
"That's right!" Guan Zhenlian grinned from ear to ear happily, "Our family doesn't have many connections. Once our children graduate from high school, they can only wait for job assignments. However, our country has limited positions, so we must first focus on people with status and college students. Ten high schools It would be nice if students could be assigned a job.”
Lu Yao smiled, "That's good now. Once the college entrance examination resumes, your son will be able to enter college. Your son's academic performance is good, right?"
Otherwise I wouldn't be so happy.
Guan Zhenlian held out a finger, "First in the class, top three in the school!"
Lu Yao was surprised, "Yes, yes, Aunt Guan, your son will definitely be admitted to college, just wait until he becomes the number one scholar!"
Guan Zhenlian laughed, and then asked with concern.
"Yao Yao, have you studied in school? Maybe you can also take the college entrance examination."
"What grades can a girl from the countryside get?"
A woman came over at some point, it was Lu Yao's next door neighbor Meng Qiuzi.
Hearing this, Guan Zhenlian frowned and said, "Old Meng, why do you speak so harshly? Yaoyao is still young, and she usually speaks like a cultured person. How come you sound like a country girl?"
"Isn't she a country girl?" Meng Qiuzi glanced at Lu Yao with disdain, "Kong has a charming face, what's the use besides being pretty?"
Lu Yao looked at Meng Qiuzi's mean face and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "At least, I'm good-looking, unlike some people whose sharp and mean faces make people sick to their stomachs."
Meng Qiuzi became angry and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a shameless girl like you."
"This is also the first time I've met someone. Because they are too beautiful, I call them coquettish and shameless. They are such unreasonable people."
Meng Qiuzi became angry and wanted to argue with Lu Yao, but Guan Zhenlian pulled him back and shouted to the two children at the door of Meng Qiuzi's house, "Call your mother home quickly!"
Lu Yao looked up and saw three children standing at the door, two boys and one girl. The girl must be the elder sister. She looked towards them timidly and had no intention of coming over.
Instead, the two younger sons ran over, one on the left and the other on the right, holding Meng Qiuzi's hands.
Lu Yao looked away and heard Guan Zhenlian advise, "We are all neighbors. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It's great that our families live in harmony, so go back quickly."
Meng Qiuzi spat on the ground, "Bah, I won't be neighbors with such a vixen!"
After saying that, he took his two sons and left.
Lu Yao died speechless.
"Who is this?"
Guan Zhenlian pursed her lips and advised from the side, "Ignore her, she's just like that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qiuzi's high voice came from the yard to the outside, "You bitch, all you have to do is study. You don't care about your two brothers. No matter how good you are in studying, what's the use? If your brother is not doing well, you don't care either." Think about it!"
Lu Yao laughed angrily, "This, this is all nonsense."
Guan Zhenlian sighed, "It's really pitiful. Tan Shang Qiuzi's mother has very good grades. She goes to the same school as my son and ranks first in the school!"
Lu Yao blinked, "This is something to be proud of."
"No!" Guan Zhenlian said sternly, "What a pity, even if she is admitted to college, Qiuzi may not let her go."
After listening to Guan Zhenlian's narration, Lu Yao learned that Meng Qiuzi's original name was Meng Aimin, but he later changed his name to Meng Qiuzi in order to have a son.
After Meng Qiuzi got married, the first child he gave birth to was He Zhenzhen.
Her husband's family didn't say anything about her, but in the next five or six years, three daughters were born one after another.
Her husband beat her, her mother-in-law scolded her, and her three daughters were given away.
Until she became pregnant again when she was thirty-five years old, and the delivery was in autumn, she changed her name to Meng Qiuzi, hoping to give birth to a son in autumn.
It was also strange that in the autumn of that year, twin sons were born, and Meng Qiuzi's status in her husband's family suddenly improved a lot.
After hearing everything, Lu Yao didn't know whether to sympathize with her or hate her.
Guan Zhenlian: "I'm not saying that my daughter is different. If my daughter were number one in the school, I wouldn't let her do anything. I would just let her study hard!"
Lu Yao twitched her lips, "Not all mothers are worthy of being called mothers."
Guan Zhenlian sighed, "Ignore her, Yaoyao, you have been to high school, right?"
Lu Yao nodded, "Been there."
"That's good. You study more recently and take the college entrance examination when the time comes."
"I've graduated from high school several years ago, so I may not meet the requirements, but my sister-in-law's sister can. I'll call her and tell her the good news."
Guan Zhenlian's face was full of disapproval, "That's not necessarily the case. It won't hurt to take a closer look. Wait until the whole country is notified in a few days and check the requirements before making any comments, just in case you are allowed to participate."
Lu Yao nodded, "Okay, thank you Aunt Guan, I'll make a call first."
