Su Jianmin's face turned red and he said hurriedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
"It's okay if it's not!" Li Xiu'e patted her son on the shoulder, "Among my sons, you are the most promising, and you are the only one who has given birth to a daughter. Jinbao is the most blessed child in our old Su family.
You are Fuwa’s father, do you understand?
You have to cherish your happy life, otherwise you will have no place to cry when you regret it in the future."
"Okay, mother, you don't have to worry about this, I understand everything," Su Jianmin said, "My daughter-in-law is not a matchmaker who told me we were acquainted, but I worked hard to get her to marry her. No one loves her more than me.
.”
Li Xiu'e's eyebrows were filled with a smile, "As long as you know how to care for others, that's all. There's nothing else to worry about."
After making sure that everything was packed, she took her luggage and tickets so that everyone didn't have to send her off, and prepared to go to the station to take the train.
"You have worked so hard to come here and have helped us take care of our children for so long. How can I let you take the bus alone?" Su Jianmin said hurriedly, "I don't have much work today, I have to take you to the station in person!"
"I also want to send it to grandma!" Su Xiaosi said loudly.
Su Xiaowu also said anxiously: "Grandma, would you like me to send you off?"
"I said there is no need to send them off. You should go to work when you are supposed to go to work, and go to class when you are supposed to go to class..."
Jinbao took her grandma's hand, raised her little head, and said in a soft and cute voice, "Grandma, my parents, my brothers and my cousin, we all want to see you off, so please let us take you to the car.
?This way we can feel at ease, okay?"
"Yes, Mom," Bai Lu said, already taking her mother-in-law's luggage, "Let us take you off?"
Li Xiu'e smiled and sighed, "Okay, okay, you can give it away if you like.
After sending grandma away, Jinbao felt that there was one less person in the family, and Jinbao felt a little empty.
Not only her, but also everyone else in the family. The atmosphere was silent on the way home, and no one spoke.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Su Jianmin deliberately found a topic and said that he was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a schoolbag for Jinbao and some stationery.
"No need to waste money on it, I can just use the schoolbags carried by my elder brother and the others." Jinbao said.
"How can this work? Jinbao, you are so young, and your eldest brother and second brother's schoolbags are so big that they don't fit." Su Jianmin said and picked up the little girl. "Dad will take you to buy a new schoolbag."
Su Xiaosi followed anxiously, "I also want to pick out a good-looking schoolbag for Jin Bao."
"What are you going to do? Don't even think about asking me to buy things for you. Your grandma told me that when we were in Nanping City, you were away from home all day long, didn't study or go to school, and mingled with the random people on the street.
Together, is this happening?"
Su Xiaosi said "Ah" and shrank his neck subconsciously, "He's not some random person, he's my classmate..."
"I don't care who you played with before, you must go to school on time every day from now on!"
Having said this, Su Jianmin freed up a hand and patted Xiaosi's head, "Who said when he was in first grade that he had a younger sister, and that he should study hard and make progress every day, and make a lot of money to support his younger sister in the future? You
Do you still look like a brother now?"
"That's because, because..." Su Xiaosi rolled his clever eyes and made an excuse, "Because you could make a lot of money by studying hard at that time, but you can't make a lot of money now. You can't make money by studying hard now...
"
Worried that his father would hit him again, he covered his head with one hand, pointed to his cousin not far away, and said: "My cousin hasn't graduated yet, the school doesn't assign jobs, and I heard that factories don't recruit students anymore.
.”
"Xing'er hasn't graduated yet?" Su Jianmin looked at Bai Xing and asked quickly, "Is what Xiaosi just said true?"
Bai Xing nodded and sighed: "Yes, the college entrance examination was canceled before. The school is in a mess. The high school teachers have stopped teaching for a long time. I don't know what our classmates will do. Everyone is either loafing at home or participating in those street activities."
activities on.”
Regarding the current situation of high school students, she had told her aunt before, saying that she did not want to live in her aunt's house for free all the time. She also wanted to find a job to make money to supplement the family, but no factory in Jinghai City was hiring.
Bai Lu comforted her and told her not to worry. It was impossible for the higher-ups to make high school students without jobs.
"Now the policies are changing, not only me, but also my seniors from the previous class, they have not graduated either..." Bai Xing said, "I don't know what will happen when the Wen Nian class is over, whether it will be
Suddenly I can take the college entrance examination again."
When listening to his cousin say these words, Jinbao thought in his mind that at the end of the year, the students of 1966, 1967 and 1968 will graduate at the same time, but what awaits them is not the college entrance examination or factory recruitment, but going to the mountains and countryside.
Jinbao gritted his teeth tightly at the thought of his third brother going to work in the countryside, his mind buzzing.
It's not that the third brother can't endure hardships, it's just that the third brother has such good academic performance and he is so good at painting. He should obviously have a bright future, so why waste his youth farming in the countryside?
"Jinbao, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold?" Su Jianmin noticed that Jinbao's expression was wrong, and touched her hand anxiously. He found that her palms were covered in cold sweat, and said in a panic, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? It can't be an illness.
Alright?"
Jin Bao was just about to say that she was fine, but her mother listened and anxiously stepped forward and put her forehead against hers.
"It doesn't seem to be hot." After saying that, Bai Lu put her palm against Jinbao's head again. She felt that there was no abnormality in her body temperature. Then she calmed down a little and asked Jinbao if she had a stomachache? Or was she uncomfortable in other places?
"No, I'm fine." Jinbao shook his head and said.
"Why do you suddenly break into a cold sweat when nothing happens?"
Jinbao didn't know how to explain it, so he said casually: "Maybe it's because daddy is hot and he sweats after being held for a long time."
Su Xiaosi said to his father at this time: "Dad, please don't hold Jinbao all the time. Jinbao has grown up. She can walk on her own. She wears such thick clothes and you keep holding her. Of course she will
I’m sweating.”
"But..." Su Jianmin hesitated whether to let Jin Bao down.
"Dad, fourth brother is right, I'd better go on my own," Jinbao said.
After hearing what his daughter said, Su Jianmin had no choice but to put her on the ground, and then checked with her several times. Until she was sure that she didn't feel any discomfort, he let her and Xiao Si walk in front hand in hand.
When she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy schoolbags, the little girl was still a little worried. She wanted to do something for her third brother, but no matter how much she thought about it, she seemed unable to do anything and could only wait for that day to come.
