It was already dark when Lu Guozhi drove to the provincial capital, and it was impossible to drive back to the county town. Fortunately, he took his work permit with him when he went out.
They simply opened two rooms in the hotel in the base system. Zhou Yani and Lu Yuming slept at night, while he took his son to sleep with them.
On this day, Zhou Yani was like stepping on cotton, with everything arranged by Lu Guozhi.
Early the next morning, the door was knocked open.
"I went downstairs and bought some breakfast and came here to eat." He put the things down, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some."
"This is too rich." Zhou Yani said.
He brought steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu curd, basically every breakfast that could be bought.
"It's okay. There are so many people. Let's eat something of everything." Lu Guozhi said nonchalantly, and then asked her, "Are you busy this morning?"
"It's okay." Zhou Yani shook her head.
If she had not met Lu Guozhi, she would have been waiting at the train station since last night.
"Then please, can you take the children to the park with me in the morning?" Lu Guozhi said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the time and I won't miss your train."
"Okay," Zhou Yani said with a smile, "I...I also like children very much."
Besides, this is her first time to play in the park.
Zhou Yani couldn't help but look forward to it.
On this morning, when Wen Juan was waiting at home for Lu Guozhi to come back, Lu Guozhi was taking Zhou Yani and the twins to row a boat in the park.
But what they didn't know was that a reporter from the newspaper happened to be filming the scene. He thought they were a cozy family of four and took a photo of them and published it in the newspaper along with the article.
The father and son sent the reluctant Zhou Yani to the train. Lu Yuming looked at Zhou Yani walking away, thinking of the way she whispered stories to him while sleeping next to her last night.
"Dad, it would be great if Aunt Yani was our new mother." She sighed.
Ever since she was little, no one has hugged her so tenderly, even her mother.
Wen Juan, she dislikes them, don't think she doesn't know because she is young.
"Let's go." Lu Guozhi touched her head.
He never thought that the person he would marry in the end would be Wen Juan.
"I don't want to go back." Lu Yuming lowered his head and cried, "We didn't go home last night. Will Aunt Wen be very angry?"
Lu Guozhi was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about this problem.
"Yuyu, Jiaming," Lu Guozhi said to the twins, "if she asks, just say that dad brought you to the provincial capital to do some business."
Lu Jiaming was a little confused, but Lu Yuming nodded smartly and leaned into Lu Jiaming's ear, "This way Aunt Wen won't be angry."
Lu Guozhi looked at his daughter in surprise, not expecting that she would be so smart.
However, he did not take his children back immediately. Instead, he took them to the mall to buy some clothes and then drove back to the base.
When I came back, it was already dark, but there was no light in the room.
"Isn't Aunt Wen at home?" The door opened, and Lu Yuming's voice came in, but soon she screamed in surprise.
Wen Juan was seen sitting alone in a dark room without turning on the light.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Guozhi turned on the light with a snap. Wen Juan's eyes were a little uncomfortable and she blocked the light with her hand.
"Where have you been?" Wen Juan reacted, hugged Lu Guozhi and cried, "I looked everywhere but couldn't find it."
She was scared to death, thinking that Lu Guozhi didn't want her and took the child away.
"Just... my unit happened to have something to do in the provincial capital, so I took them along with me." Lu Guozhi let go of Wen Juan unnaturally, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you."
Only then did Wen Juan see the two children carrying several bags.
Lu Guozhi followed her gaze and said awkwardly, "I bought them some clothes by the way."
Then Wen Juan looked over and said, "Next time I take you to the provincial capital to pick out the clothes yourself. You have to try on the clothes to know whether they fit or not."
That means I didn't buy it for her.
Wen Juan was lying when she said she was not disappointed, but soon she remembered the college entrance examination, "Do you know?"
"Yeah," Lu Guozhi nodded, "I've heard of it before."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Wen Juan asked in a louder voice.
"What?" Lu Guozhi smiled, sat down and looked at Wen Juan, "Do you still want to take the college entrance examination?"
Wen Juan looked at Lu Guozhi in disbelief, "Of course I want to participate."
If she can pass the college entrance examination, she will be a college student in the future, and she will no longer have to envy Zhou Yani's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
After learning the news, Wen Juan locked herself in the room and thought clearly.
Wen Nuan, a person who has not graduated from elementary school, is going to participate. Why shouldn't she, a high school graduate?
"Wen Juan," Lu Guozhi's face dropped, "You are married now. Your responsibility is to take good care of me, my children and this family."
"If you go to school, who will take care of the children? Who will take care of the family?"
Wen Juan choked, "...but I..."
"It's nothing." Lu Guozhi stood up and picked up the bag on the ground, "I don't agree."
After he finished speaking, he led a child into the house.
Wen Juan was left standing there as if frozen.
What's funny is that when Wen Nuan told her to find books and information, she thought that Lu Guozhi would definitely help her find them.
As a result, she was not allowed to take the college entrance examination at all.
Thinking of this, Wen Juan's eyes turned red again.
After both children had fallen asleep, Wen Juan blushed and put her hand into Lu Guozhi's arms, but he ruthlessly blocked her back, "I'm tired."
One sentence made Wen Juan burst into tears.
But Nuan Nuan didn't know this. After the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, the young people in the village became restless.
Some well-informed people knew that Nuan Nuan and Hu Xiaoling were already reviewing in advance, so they came over to borrow materials.
The two of them were not stingy and lent them all the materials they had reviewed.
It was also at this time that those who originally looked down on Wen Nuan discovered that Wen Wen's studies were actually better than those of them who had gone to junior high school or high school.
Especially those who once mocked Wen Nuan for dreaming of going to college before even graduating from elementary school. Now they were even more ashamed and wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into.
When Lu Jinchuan came back, he happened to see this scene.
Nuan Nuan was being lectured on by several young people. Her thoughts were clear and fluent. They were taking notes quickly while listening attentively.
Suddenly, Wen Nuan smiled in surprise, then he put down his pen, stood up, and walked toward the yard.
