Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Xu Yan happened to walk into the room and heard what Li Muhua said.

He cursed directly: "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about becoming a monk?"

"Mom has already arranged a marriage for you. In the past two years, several young girls have come to our mall. Come to our mall someday and I'll introduce you to anyone you like."

Xu Yan pulled Li Muhua aside and introduced him to the new salesperson in the mall, wanting to introduce him to someone reliable.

Li Muhua felt a headache after hearing this, so he simply looked at Li Yujie and said with a double meaning: "What's so good about being a salesperson?"

"All he does is chatter all day long. If I want to find someone, I have to wait until I get into college and then go find college students in the university!"

"Okay!" Li Yujie gritted her teeth and said, "Then I, a talkative salesperson, will have to continue asking you questions."

"..."

The interrogation between mother and daughter did not end until Li Haifu returned, but they became much closer, clearing away the estrangement of more than three years.

the next day--

Li Muhua returned to No. 13 Middle School and found his former high school class teacher.

When the head teacher heard Li Muhua say that she wanted to take the college entrance examination, he was surprised but then very supportive.

He didn't expect that with Li Muhua's status, he would choose to return to the city for the college entrance examination instead of using his connections to get transferred back to the city.

I agreed even more with the teacher's comments on Li Muhua. She is indeed a role model that young people should learn from.

When Li Muhua said he needed a teacher to tutor him and prepare for the exam, his high school class teacher took the responsibility and recommended several senior teachers, some of whom had been sent down to the countryside when the revolution began.

After that, the six of them studied in the teacher's office of No. 13 Middle School every day like high school students.

During this time, Li Aihua and Li Qinghua brought their eldest and second sisters-in-law back to the city and studied with the six of them. It was a chance for them to meet Zhou Ru, their younger sister-in-law.

However, they were also aware of the grudge between the two families. Since they didn't know the relationship between the two, they didn't ask and didn't care.

The second half of December -

After more than a month of study, everyone filled out their applications and took the exams in their respective examination rooms.

After the exam, most people looked relieved, thinking that it was a small university and they had a sure win.

Only Li Qinghua looked worried and said that he had failed the exam.

It is estimated that he will not be admitted to the Iron and Steel Institute and the Mechanical Engineering Institute he applied for.

He was helpless at this point. He had been asked to study before but had not achieved any good results. Li Muhua could only comfort him.

What followed was a long and anxious wait, as everyone prepared to face the judgment of fate: whether to stay in the city as college students or return to the countryside to join the production team.

As time passed, even Hu Lai, who was the most confident and confident when he left the examination room, began to worry and couldn't sleep.

I was afraid that I would not be able to get into university and would have to go back to the countryside to feed cows, pick up manure and farm.

Li Muhua took this opportunity to go back to Nanluoguxiang, and learned from Yan Bugui that with the relaxation of policies in the past two years, Qin Huairu, He Daqing, Sha Zhu and others had all sent letters back.

Among the five of them, only He Daqing and Bang Geng were assigned together and lived in the most remote Greater Khingan Range forest farm, doing hard labor in a cowshed until now.

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were both undergoing reform in a commune in the northwest, but not in the same city, and they were separated by hundreds of miles.

As for He Yushui, he married a poor peasant in the countryside of Xining and even had a son.

Things are unpredictable in this world. After hearing this, Li Muhua couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the five people were lucky. They didn't get killed by anyone in this world. They were worthy of being the protagonists.

After celebrating for them, Li Muhua asked again: "Old Yan, since they have all sent letters back, what does Zhang Cuihua do for a living?"

Hearing this question, Yan Bugui's gossipy face immediately turned helpless and said, "There is no way. Jia Zhang is now like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. She has never stopped making a living. Now all of us in the compound are pretending to be ignorant with her."

"We didn't dare to say these things in the letter, and we had to cover up her lies." Yan Bugui looked very angry.

Li Muhua asked back: "What can't be said?"

Yan Bugui explained helplessly: "They are all from the "five black categories". The letters they sent were checked. If we knew about it but didn't report it, what crime can we accuse them of?"

Li Muhua nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Yan Bugui said made sense.

"Then report them. Once they are arrested, ask Director Wang to issue a certificate and send Huaihua to the countryside."

"This way Huaihua can still be saved. Otherwise, in two years Zhang Cuihua will have to take her out on the street." Li Muhua suggested. He really thought this was the way to go.

"Ugh!"

Yan Bugui sighed so heavily that his glasses almost fell off.

"If Shazhu and the others didn't send a letter back, we would definitely give it to Zhang Cuihua."

"But Shazhu and the others are still missing, so Xu Damao disagrees and says he wants to wait for Shazhu to come back and laugh at him."

"You know about the case of Sha Zhu and He Daqing. They both made contributions in the past and will be rehabilitated sooner or later. We just want to wait for them to come back and let them decide for themselves, so that we won't be blamed by their families in the future."

Li Muhua nodded and agreed with Yan Bugui's idea.

He echoed, "Indeed, with Shazhu's stubborn character, he will blame you twice. First, you watched them die without helping them and then sent them to jail."

"Maybe if he gets really aggressive, he might even fight you with a kitchen knife."

"Now that Zhang Cuihua is here, he may not blame you. After all, it was Zhang Cuihua who came up with the idea. Zhang Cuihua is also Jia Dang's grandmother. If he has to chop down someone, he has to chop down Zhang Cuihua first."

Li Muhua really wanted to see Sha Zhu chasing after Jia Zhang and chopping her.

Yan Bugui nodded and agreed: "Who said it wasn't?"

"We were thinking alike."

Seeing Yan Bugui was so upset about the He family's affairs, Li Muhua turned around and comforted him: "Old Yan, don't worry about the troubles in the yard. You are not a salaried clerk, what is there to worry about?"

"You should be happy now. The country has reinstated the college entrance examination, and you, a stinking old ninth, have become a glorious people's teacher again!"

Now that the matter has come to an end, Li Muhua can use Chou Laojiu to tease Yan Bugui.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui first nodded in agreement, then shook his head in disappointment.

"This matter has little to do with me as a primary school teacher. Besides, how many years can I still teach?"

"You know the results of my kids. I didn't even let them come back to take the college entrance exam. What a waste of money!"

Yan Bugui said this dejectedly, then forced himself to smile unhappily.

"Unlike your family, I guess Qinghua's college entrance exam might be a little uncertain, but you three should be a sure thing."

“Three college students!”

"I don't know what good fortune Li Haifu had in his previous life to give birth to four such promising children!"

Yan Bugui was somewhat envious of the Li family. It was obvious that their families used to be neighbors. Even if his work was not as good as Li Haifu's, the difference between the children of the two families was not as big.

Li Muhua shook his head and said, "Old Yan, you are sixty-four this year, so forget about having children or going to college."

"But I think Yu Li is good. She has an active mind."

Li Muhua wanted to give Yan Bugui some advice again. Now, he and his son have almost separated. They seldom interact with each other on weekdays. They don't even spend the New Year together. They are just like ordinary neighbors.

Yan Bugui looked at Li Muhua, somewhat confused as to why he suddenly mentioned Yu Li.

Li Muhua did not give any clear answer, after all, it was still too early for reform and opening up.

"Anyone with a quick mind will do well in life. You need to get closer to your eldest daughter-in-law. Otherwise, no matter how successful she is, you won't be able to benefit from her!"

"Can Yu Li have a future?"

Yan Bugui asked doubtfully, "Why didn't I see that?"
