Frequently being plotted against by his wife, Zhou Changqing and Zhou Zhi had already mastered the riding skills of an experienced driver. He acted like a hooligan at night and hit back at his wife several times without actually falling into a ditch.
He didn't just want his wife and mother-in-law to leave their jobs and study hard to take the college entrance examination.
After hearing the news at the brigade's threshing floor, he had already been thinking about it.
It just so happened that Principal Qi made a fool of himself, and this matter was put on the schedule in advance.
Zhou Changqing came back with Lan Hua in his car, put her down from the car on tiptoes, and asked in a warm voice: "Daughter-in-law, are you feeling better?"
Lan Hua smiled brightly: "It's much better. With you here, there is no obstacle that I can't overcome."
Professor Kong and Professor Lin went to Li Zhiqiang to complete the formalities for returning to the city, and then came to bid farewell to Bai Su. Originally, they wanted to meet each other and then go back to the medicine shop to pack their things.
Bai Su means, they have to get food to eat when they go back, so why go to all that trouble!
Qin Yanyue and He Yan came from the county town and brought a lot of dishes. Bai Su cooked a table of dishes and left Professor Kong and Professor Lin to eat at home.
Zhou Changqing walked into the courtyard with Orchid on his arm. The food was already ready.
After walking into the main room carrying the dishes, Bai Su greeted them: "Chang Qing, please wash your hands and come over to eat."
"Your Aunt Kong and Uncle Lin are going back to the city. They will leave tomorrow and go to the county town with your brother-in-law and Uncle Qin."
At the medicine shop, Zhou Changqing only met Qin Yanyue once, and did not know that Professor Kong and Professor Lin were going back to the city.
After washing my hands, the table was filled with people eating around it.
"Aunt Kong, Uncle Lin, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Zhou Changqing asked them: "Do we have to leave tomorrow?"
"Yes, your Uncle Qin said that there was a rush from the capital, and our group of comrades from the Agricultural University returned to the city a little late."
Before leaving the Peace Brigade, Professor Kong was very satisfied to have a meal cooked with soybean.
While picking up vegetables and eating, she talked to Zhou Changqing: "It's not that the college entrance examination is in a tight schedule. The organization is expecting us to go back early. A lot of teaching work needs to be prepared in advance."
Speaking of the tight deadline for the college entrance examination, Zhou Changqing fully agreed.
"You are right, the college entrance examination is imminent. I think there will be a lot of people taking part in the first college entrance examination that resumed after the great movement. It will not be easy to stand out among these people."
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I think the first batch of people to be admitted to college are either those who have not lost their high school knowledge before, or they have to work harder than others."
"It's not easy to get into college anymore, and it's even harder to get into a university in the capital."
Zhou Changqing suddenly looked at Qin Yanyue: "Uncle Qin, do you think my mother is sure?"
Qin Yanyue supports Bai Su to take the college entrance examination, but he thinks it is unlikely for a person with no foundation to take the college entrance examination in only three months.
But the opportunities are the same for everyone.
After all, there are very few people like his second son-in-law, Zhou Changqing, who have never lost their high school knowledge. Therefore, those who are taking the college entrance examination this time are actually as unprepared as his wife.
Comrade Bai Su has study materials given to her by her eldest son-in-law, a second son-in-law who helps her run a small kitchen, and a husband like him who supports her.
Speaking of which, the chances of winning are better than others.
However, even if Comrade Bai Su is smarter than others and takes advantage of this opportunity, it is still possible to barely pass the score line for college. It is very difficult to get into the capital.
Luring his Uncle Qin to start thinking about this, Zhou Changqing pointed out: "My mother is a smart person, and she knows everything. I have already seen it when I studied with her in the county town."
"What I'm most afraid of is that my mother and daughter-in-law will not be admitted to Beijing University if they pass the college score line."
Zhou Changqing expressed all the worries in his heart: "Uncle Qin, my mother wants to follow you to the capital, and my aunt and uncle are also waiting for her."
"Yesterday I received a letter from the capital. My aunt has taken back the Zhou family's medicine field on the outskirts of Beijing. She is waiting for my mother to go to the capital and start a career together."
Qin Yanyue will return to the capital sooner or later.
Of course he didn't want Bai Su to take the exam elsewhere and the couple to live apart.
One was in the Peace Brigade and the other was in the county seat. He was fed up with the distance.
He wanted to keep his wife by his side, so he listened carefully to what Zhou Changqing was talking about.
"Uncle Qin, I think the top priority is for my mother and Lanhua to go all out to prepare for the college entrance examination."
"Lanhua has told the school today that she will quit her job as a primary school teacher and prepare for the exam with peace of mind."
Zhou Changqing discussed with Qin Yanyue: "I think I can take care of the pharmacy. My mother stays at home with Lanhua to study and prepare for the exam. Uncle Qin, what do you think?"
It has to be said that Zhou Changqing is a powerful son-in-law. What Comrade Qin fears most is that his wife, Comrade Bai Su, will pass the college entrance examination and then go to college somewhere else.
That would be worse than her not being able to go to college.
If he doesn't let him go, he just doesn't support his wife's dream and is holding back her progress.
Let him go, then when he returns to the capital to work, he will have to live separately in the two places.
Having tasted what it was like to have a wife, Comrade Qin no longer wanted to live the life of an ascetic.
At this moment, Qin Yanyue reached a tacit understanding with his son-in-law Zhou Changqing.
"Then let your mother and Lanhua prepare for the exam at home."
The two men who had worried about her had already made her decision for her without giving her a chance to speak.
Although Bai Su originally planned to do so, she felt that she should ask the parties involved for their opinions anyway, right?
Bai Su couldn't laugh or cry: "You two, don't you have to ask me what I mean?"
"I don't think I need to ask about this matter!"
Professor Kong answered from the side: "They made the right decision. Changqing will help you make up your classes. What if you pass the college score and go to another place?"
"Zhilan and I are still waiting for you in the capital!"
Professor Kong asked her: "Who should we cry to when the time comes?"
Professor Lin, who doesn't like to say much, also followed Professor Kong in expressing his position: "Yingxuan is right, Comrade Bai Su, we are waiting for you in the capital and look forward to the day when we can meet together."
Only Comrade Ni Manzhen expressed regret, because she was still thinking about hosting a wedding reception for her son and daughter-in-law. She got the clothes she ordered from Lihua, and she wanted to try calling her Bai Su for a while.
But the most important thing is that my daughter-in-law is going to college.
Xiao Su was admitted to Beijing University. From now on, as a mother-in-law, she would be able to see people more often.
Comrade Ni Manzhen could only put down her plan to hold a wedding banquet for Bai Su for the time being.
Of course, He Yan also supported Zhou Changqing. He could leave the money-making matters to him, but when it came to the college entrance examination, he couldn't get involved, and Zhou Changqing, the second son-in-law, had to help his mother with her efforts.
Anyway, the two sons-in-law should perform their respective duties!
