Lu Haici thought about it, and then he said to Lu Xiaobao: "Then you should go and tell the kindergarten teacher. If you don't come to school, the teacher and your mother will be worried. How about this, brother will wait for you here, and you go and ask for leave from the teacher, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Xiaobao didn't doubt him and ran into the kindergarten to ask for leave from the teacher. Seeing this, Lu Haici quickly closed the door of the kindergarten and ran away.
Lu Xiaobao ran to the office and said to the teacher obediently: "Teacher, I have to go to the county town to go to school with my brother today. I'm here to ask for leave." There was a little pride in her tone.
The teacher didn't think much of it and said, "Well, will you come to school tomorrow?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Lu Xiaobao said arrogantly. After asking for leave from the teacher, she went to look for her brother.
Little did she know that when she returned to the kindergarten gate, her brother had already disappeared. Lu Xiaobao looked at the empty gate, her eyes turned red and she burst into tears: "Wow..."
Lin Qingqing was at home, not yet at work, when she suddenly heard her daughter crying. She went out to see that it was the teacher who brought her daughter back. "What's wrong?" Her daughter was crying so miserably, was she bullied? But looking at the entire kindergarten, was there anyone who could bully her daughter? Why didn't Lin Qingqing believe it
"Mom, my brother is a bad guy, he lied to me, wuwuwu..." Seeing his mother, Lu Xiaobao threw himself into her arms and cried aggrievedly, "My brother is a bad guy, a bad guy, I don't like him anymore, wuwuwu..."
The teacher said: "Comrade Lin, I'm so sorry, this is what happened..." She had already found out what happened.
Lin Qingqing said: "Sorry to bother you, teacher. This child has been relying on his brother since he was young."
Teacher: "I understand. I'll leave the child to Comrade Lin. I'll go back to the kindergarten first."
Lin smiled and nodded. She did not send her daughter to kindergarten immediately. Instead, she went home and took out a ball: "Xiaobao, shall we go play with the ball?"
Lu Xiaobao was still sobbing, but he also wanted to play, which was a bit contradictory.
Lin Qingqing said: "Ah, how do we play with this ball? Can Xiaobao teach me?"
Lu Xiaobao looked at his mother and thought she was a little stupid, she couldn't even play with a ball. She hiccupped and said, "Then I'll play with you." She used a tone that said she couldn't do anything to him.
"But it's not fun for just two people. Can we ask other kids to play together?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"Okay, then let's go find Yang Daqiang."
Yang Daqiang is a little boy who is about the same age as Lu Xiaobao in the family compound. Although Lu Xiaobao likes to play with his brother, he also has his own friends.
So, Lu Xiaobao was taken to the kindergarten by her mother and played ball with her usual friends. When she was having fun, Lin Qingqing went to work.
The kindergarten finishes school early. Even though Lu Xiaobao has a lot of fun during the day, after school, the little guy will be waiting at the gate of the staff quarters.
Lu Haici escaped in a carefree manner in the morning, but after school, when he was almost home on his bike, he felt very nervous.
"Lu Haici, hurry up." Qin Ming urged in front. Lu Haici couldn't wait to go home after school. Wasn't he too slow today? It wasn't that he was slow today. He rode quite fast on the road just now. It was only when he was about to reach the family compound that he rode slowly.
Lu Haici felt sad. He ran away in the morning and his sister would definitely be angry if he went home now. What should he do
Children are most likely to get angry, and she didn't know what to do. She also didn't know if the things she bought would be good for her sister.
Lu Haici walked slowly and slowly but finally arrived at the family compound. He saw a little girl standing at the door. The little girl also saw him, put her hands on her hips, and looked at him fiercely.
"Xiaobao..." Lu Haici got off the bicycle and looked at her ingratiatingly.
"Hmph, liar, you liar." The little girl was very angry, very angry, but no matter how angry she was, her voice was still childish.
"I was wrong, please forgive me." Lu Haici apologized honestly, "But I am in a hurry to go to school. I go to school to make money. I will buy Xiaobao a lot of things with the money. Xiaobao will forgive me, right?"
"No." Lu Xiaobao pouted, "Xiaobao is rich, and doesn't want her brother to go to school to earn money." She is a rich girl.
"Brother is wrong. But if brother doesn't go to school, the teacher will hit the palm of his hand. Brother is afraid of the pain, what should I do?" Lu Haici said pitifully.
Lu Xiaobao was originally very angry, but she was unknowingly led astray by her brother. After hearing what her brother said, she was really worried that he would be beaten. She said, "Then Xiaobao will go to school with brother."
Lu Haici had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
After dinner, Lu Haici discussed with his mother and decided to get up early to go to school the next day. So he got up early three years earlier. When his sister graduated from kindergarten and became an adult, he was relieved.
In September 1973, Lu Haici went to high school and Lu Xiaobao went to elementary school. The two siblings could go to school together, and Lu Haici finally didn't have to avoid his sister early. But the good times didn't last long. In 1974, when Lu Haici was 16 years old, someone reported Lu Haici. The Lu family had two children, and Lu Haici was also 16 years old, but he didn't go to the countryside.
That day, Lu Haici was at school when the Youth League Office came to the school.
The teacher didn't know about Lu Haici's situation, so he called Lu Haici to the office.
"Student Lu Haici, how many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"
Lu Haici didn't understand what the teacher meant, and said frankly: "There are two. I have a younger sister who is in the first grade of elementary school."
The teacher said, "It's like this. Now the country has a policy that if there are two children in a family, one of them must go to the countryside. You are already 16 years old, and you are old enough to go to the countryside. Today, the Youth League Office came to inquire about the situation. I don't know how the Youth League Office knew about it, but since they came to ask, we must give them an answer, so go back and discuss it with your parents."
Speaking of this, the teacher is helpless and hopes that Lu Haici's family can solve this problem. Lu Haici is a good seedling with very good grades, but it's a pity that the college entrance examination has been cancelled, otherwise...
Lu Haici was shocked when he heard the teacher's words. He felt that the world was about to collapse when he thought about going to the countryside. He was not afraid of the hardship of going to the countryside, he just didn't want to leave his parents and sister. But Lu Haici was a calm and steady person, so he didn't show it in front of the teacher.
After school that day, he and Ji Yang went to the county junior high school to wait for Qin Ming, and then went to the commune primary school to pick up his sister. The reason why they went to the county junior high school to wait for Qin Ming was because Qin Ming did not pass the high school entrance examination and his grades were not very good. So he repeated the third grade of junior high school.
After picking up his sister, Lu Haici did not show it in front of her. After returning home and having dinner, he said to Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng: "Mom and Dad, I have something I want to tell you in private."
When he said this, Lin's mother, Lin's father and Lin Luming, who were having dinner together, were all a little surprised. Lin Luming had already graduated from high school. He was working in a supply and marketing cooperative, and he had a relationship with Director Ma of the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Luming, 21 years old this year, still had no partner. It was not that Lin's father and mother were not anxious, but that they were persuaded by Lin Qingqing to wait a few years.
The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977. At that time, Lin Luming was only 25 years old. Although his grades were not outstanding, it was safe to take the college entrance examination. According to Lin Qingqing's idea, he could find someone he liked in college by then, and there was no need to go on a blind date here. After all, after seeing the outside world, people's horizons and ideas will change.
Now that they were used to listening to their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lin decided to wait a few more years.
The second wife of the Lin family is now well off. Lin's father works on a farm, Lin Luming works at a supply and marketing cooperative, and Lin's mother no longer has to take care of the children, so she cooks for the family. Lin Qingqing also gives her 10 yuan each. Of course, she doesn't want it, but her daughter insists on giving it to her, so she accepts it with a clear conscience.
It was the first time that Lu Cheng saw his son so serious, and he didn't think much about it: "Okay, go to the room."
They came to Lu Haici's room.
Lu Haici's room was divided into two parts, with two doors on the wall. One room was Lu Haici's and the other was Lu Xiaobao's.
After Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing went in, Lu Haici told them about the educated youth going to the countryside: "Although I don't know why the educated youth office targeted me, no matter who said it, it doesn't matter. There are two children in my family, and it is a fact that I didn't go to the countryside. My parents are both excellent soldiers. If I don't go to the countryside, it will affect my parents, so I decided to go to the countryside."
Lin Qingqing said, "I thought it was something else. Why would you go to the countryside for such a matter?" She was also frightened by her son's serious expression. "I'll just give you the job."
"What about Mom?" Lu Haici knew his mother's dedication and hard work at work. If he took over his mother's job, he could not take over her position. Wouldn't his mother's efforts be meaningless
"Let's think about this again." Lu Cheng said, "Qingqing, come with me for a walk. I have an idea."
"Ah?" Lin was surprised. "Okay."
So the couple left home.
Lu Haici was also confused. What did his parents want to discuss outside
Lin Qingqing followed Lu Cheng outside. Although they were leisurely digesting their food after dinner, Lin Qingqing was really curious about Lu Cheng's idea: "Your idea can make Hai Ci continue to go to school?" According to the current situation, Hai Ci graduated from high school in 1976, studied at home for a year, and took the college entrance examination in 1977, which was just right. Whether it was going to the countryside or working, it was not suitable.
Lu Cheng said: "My idea can indeed help him continue his studies, and this matter will be told to him sooner or later."
Sooner or later, I have to tell him? Lin Qingqing suddenly thought of something: "His life experience?"
Lu Cheng said: "Yes, tell him about his background. He is also an only child and an orphan of a martyr, so he doesn't need to go to the countryside. I will apply to his father's army to prove that although he is registered in the Lu family, he and I are in a foster relationship, so there will be no problem."
"This..." Lin Qingqing felt a little reluctant, but also felt that this was an opportunity: "I originally thought that I should wait until he was admitted to university before talking about it, but since we have met, it doesn't matter if I say it now." Because now is indeed an opportunity.
