Zhou Bin also heard about the ‘fake collar’ thing, and he said who could come up with this idea, it was actually the person in front of him.
"Sister, you are so interesting." Zhou Bin didn't say any extra words of thanks.
"It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Brother Zhou, if you find a suitable house, give the village a call." Chen Lishu said and told Zhou Bin the village's phone number, and then said goodbye to the two of them and went home.
When she got home, her family had not finished work yet, and Gu Xingping was sitting in the shade of the room washing clothes. She was very happy to see Chen Lishu back.
"Sister-in-law, you are back. I feel very boring these days when you are not at home. I don't even have anyone to talk to."
Gu Xingping quickly wiped the water stains on her hands and stood up to meet her, taking the bag in her hand.
"Sister-in-law, are you exhausted from driving? Are you hungry? There are some leftover pancakes from the morning at home. How about I go make some porridge for you?"
When Chen Lishu saw her putting down her things and going out, she quickly stopped her: "Little sister, please stop being busy. I don't have much appetite right now. I'd better wait to eat with everyone in the evening."
"Then Sister-in-law, please go and have a nap on the kang. I'll make dinner." Gu Xingping saw that she was not energetic and urged her to catch up on her sleep.
After driving all night and walking more than twenty miles with her things, Chen Lishu was indeed tired and sleepy. After hearing what she said, she nodded in agreement, climbed onto the kang and fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
When she woke up again, everyone in the Gu family had already finished work. Gu Xingping had also prepared a meal and was about to call her. Seeing that she had woken up by herself, she hurriedly greeted her: "Sister-in-law, please wash your face and come back to eat."
"Yeah." Chen Lishu went to get some water to wash her face before sitting at the table.
The whole family was very happy to see her back.
"It must be hard for Xingdong in the army, right? Have you lost weight?" Several other children were around, but this one was far away, so Li Xiulan was particularly worried about it.
"They have a lot of training, but the food in the cafeteria is very good. There are two dishes every time. It is not far from the city, and there is a bus to the entrance of the camp." Chen Lishu said, fearing that she would worry about her, and tried to pick up the good food.
Sure enough, the old couple felt much relieved after hearing this.
"Mom, I washed all the clothes at home today and cut a lot of pigweed." Gu Xingping handed the rice in front of Li Xiulan.
"snort."
Li Xiulan didn't treat her as kindly as usual. She snorted and took the bowl and said angrily: "I'll let you go to school. Why don't you go to school? You're more comfortable working at home than at school? You didn't pass the high school exam this year and repeat for one year."
Let’s take the exam again next year. It would be better for you. You would rather work at home than go to school. What future prospects can you have? Look at how many workers, peasants and soldiers college students signed up this year. In the end, the selected educated youth are not high school graduates.”
Li Xiulan was just a daughter, so she naturally felt pain like a baby bump. Coming down early meant going to work in the fields early, so she naturally didn't want to see her child suffer.
Besides, there will be more opportunities after graduating from high school. Even if he can't find a job, Murakami can still be a scorer. But this kid is not good at all. He has a lot of good words and truths, and even breaks them down and crushes them to no avail.
, I just ate the weight and became determined not to study.
Gu Xingping felt bored again, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he said humbly: "Mom, don't you know what my grades are? I'm not good at studying at all. Let alone repeating for another year, I won't be able to pass the exam even in ten years.
, why do you have to force me."
Only then did Chen Lishu realize that such a big thing had happened at home during her absence.
As a reborn person, she naturally knew that the college entrance examination would resume next year, and academic qualifications were even more important, as they could almost change a person's life.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but persuade: "Little sister, it is good to study more. Our country is not advocating the early realization of the four modernizations. It definitely needs talents in all aspects. This time I went out and found out that the provincial capital
The situation here is much better than that here, which shows that these days will soon pass, and the resumption of the college entrance examination is inevitable. I am not preparing now. I will be assigned a job after I am admitted to college. The future will be completely different from now.
of."
She cannot say directly that the college entrance examination will be resumed next year, but she thinks this has already hinted clearly.
"Third sister-in-law, I understand everything you said, and I also know that you are all doing it for my own good, but I really can't learn it. I just want to do business and make money like you."
Gu Xingping really had no choice but to express her thoughts.
"Why are you so anxious to make money? You eat and drink when your family is short? You don't have to listen to what everyone says now. You will regret that day." Li Xiulan was angry when she saw her now.
Seeing his daughter's aggrieved look, Gu Shoufu had no choice but to say helplessly: "Eat first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after dinner."
When Li Xiulan saw that he had opened his mouth and said nothing, she picked up her rice bowl and started eating.
After finishing the meal and tidying up the kitchen, Chen Lishu returned to the house and divided the things she bought in the provincial capital into Zhang Qin and Li Xiulan's houses.
Finally, I sent over the things I bought for Gu Xingping.
"Third sister-in-law."
After knocking on the door, the door was opened. Chen Lishu noticed that Gu Xingping's eyes were a little red. Judging from the situation, she must have just cried.
"I went to the provincial capital to buy it, and I brought a copy for you." Chen Lishu smiled and handed the things over. Gu Xingping was very happy to see clearly what she had in her hand.
"Sister-in-law, you are so good to me." Gu Xingping still had a childish mentality. When she saw the silk scarf and cream, she turned around and forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and even started to make gestures in front of the mirror with the silk scarf.
Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Chen Lishu thought for a while before saying, "Little sister, you don't plan to repeat your studies?"
Gu Xingping heard her ask, took off the silk scarf tied around her neck and pulled Chen Lishu to sit down at the table.
"Third sister-in-law, I know what you and my mother are thinking, but I really don't want to go to school. You know, sitting in the classroom with all my thoughts on the outside, I can't learn at all, and it's a waste of money. Since I followed you
Let’s do the hairdressing together. I think this is very good. You can make money by doing anything and you don’t have to go to school, right?”
Seeing that she looked a little anxious, Chen Lishu patted the back of her hand reassuringly: "You're right. Just like me, I haven't even graduated from elementary school and I can still make a lot of money, even more than anyone else in the village."
Seeing that she agreed with his idea, Gu Xingping's tense nerves gradually relaxed. She was like a sensitive hedgehog now. She would show off her quills whenever anyone tried to get her to give up her own ideas and study according to other people's wishes.
Chen Lishu paused, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "But have you ever thought about it, my situation is only temporary. Doing business without education and knowledge will not last long."
