Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
Chapter 237 Dorm matesChapter 237. Dorm mates
It wasn’t just Zhoujia village’s educated youths pushing for a divorce. Other production teams were the same.
It can be said that the troubles were nonstop. Still, old Zhou family didn’t get involved at all.
Mother Zhou was feeling a little bit emotional at this time. Thankfully, Fourth’s wife was decisive enough. If not, with the current trouble, who would they seek to settle the account?
The determination of educated youths was clearly unshakable. Even when one was the son-in-law of the leader, he too got a divorce.
However, he promised that if he passes the exam, he will definitely come and bring his wife and children away.
Who knows if this promise will be fulfilled or not.
Lin Qing He and Da Wa officially became Bei University’s students in the year 1978.
She told Da Wa to go with the current course pace. However, Lin Qing He had a different plan for herself.
According to the current university, she’ll graduate in four years. Some departments even take five or six years. Lin Qing He didn’t want to take up up that much time.
Even if she follows the course length, it won’t delay too much. But Lin Qing He wants to make money.
Reform and the restrictions drop will begin this year. Every year from now on, there will be a big improvement.
So Lin Qing He went all out on studying.
She was a foreign language department. Initially, Da Wa wanted to study the foreign language department with his mother. However, Lin Qing He refused because Da Wa’s strength was geography.
So Lin Qing He got him to enter the Department of Geography.
Lin Qing He did teach him English.
After Da Wa had learned his part, he will come to his mother’s class from time to time to find a sense of existence.
A college student as young as Da Wa was very rare, even in a place like Bei University,. In addition, he had good grades, can talk, outgoing, and looked handsome. Bei’s University teachers and students liked him very much.
Naturally, they also knew that Lin Qing He, who was fluent in foreign languages, was his mother.
Both mother and son were admitted to Bei University. Have to say, this was a legend in the university.
Lin Qing He urged Da Wa to not work so hard and to play basketball or some exercise every day. As for herself, she huddled in the library whenever she had time.
Sometimes she would stay there for the whole day. Such an effort in studying had the old man in the library looked at her highly.
That day, Lin Qing He came a bit late and almost didn’t get a seat.
She wasn’t the only studious one. Other students were just as hardworking. All of them were trying hard to learn what they could learn.
The old man that watched the library gave her a place: "This classmate, come and sit here. There is a spot."
Lin Qing He came over and thanked him.
"I heard that you never went to school before. Just attended literacy class for a few days, and then the rest were learned by yourself?" the old man asked.
"When I was very young, I wanted to study very much, but my parents didn’t agree. Later, I was fortunate enough to meet my husband. Before he got injured and hadn’t retired, there was a monthly allowance. So I was lazy and didn’t work. I hid at home, watched my children, and studied." Lin Qing He replied.
She hadn’t brought these things up herself. Must be that stinky brat, Da Wa who went out and boast about it.
He wanted to let the whole city know that she was his mother and she got a man with two sons at home.
Lin Qing He let Da Wa and his little acts be. She was too outstanding. Not long after school started, someone came to send her a confession letter.
When this lad encountered it once, he immediately wrote an essay on ’My Mother’. A lengthy and powerful article of 3,000 words. Then he directly pasted it on the bulletin board.
With this, all the teachers and students in the university knew.
This move was really ruthless. It overturned all those who were aiming for her. If anyone still had thoughts on her, then they were evildoers who want to destroy his family.
However, Lin Qing He didn’t blame him. She treated as giving him a sense of security. Also, with this method, a lot of trouble was reduced and she can concentrate on studying.
The old librarian laughed when he heard it, "Daring to study in secret at that time and didn’t let it be known, your reputation in the village must be bad."
"My reputation was terrible. Let me count a few bad labels. Number one prodigal wife in the village. The number one wife who didn’t know how to live. The laziest woman. There are too many. I can’t even count them all. No one was willing to interact with me." Lin Qing He said with a smile.
"From whichever direction the winds leap, one remains strong, despite being dealt many blows." The old librarian said.
Lin Qing He smiled. The old librarian let her study and didn’t continue to disturb her. He was familiar with Lin Qing He. When Lin Qing He came late, he would usually reserve a place for her.
Lin Qing He would occasionally give him some braised pork, which can be considered as an extra dish for him.
"Mister, did my mother come here today?" Zhou Kai came over and asked the old librarian.
"Just left." The old librarian answered.
Zhou Kai thanked him, and then came to look for his mother. The old librarian glanced at him with sadness in his eyes. If his son and daughter-in-law were still here, his grandson would be that old now.
Zhou Kai found his mother. Lin Qing He remarked, "You’re all sweaty. What did you do?"
"Mother, I plan to go out with my classmate this weekend. He is from the capital." Zhou Kai said.
"No problem, but remember to bring your student ID." Lin Qing He reminded.
Zhou Kai acknowledged it. Lin Qing He gave him another yuan before dismissing him.
Her dorm mate happened to encounter this and said with envy: "I never thought your son would be so big."
Who wouldn’t want a son like Zhou Kai. So sunny and handsome. The ideal son in every mother’s mind.
Lin Qing He had a good relationship with this dorm mate called Wang Li. She knew that she was also a mother in the countryside. Her son was in the countryside. She laughed in response: "Luckily he passed the exam. If not, he’ll be raised in the countryside. The pressure would be quite heavy.
"To grow this tall at this age, he must have eaten a lot." Wang Li smiled.
"That’s right. Five big steamed buns in one meal. He eats more than his father. My salary and work-point subsidy I get for teaching in the community are all used for this." Lin Qing He responded.
This was also the reason why Wang Li had a good relationship with Lin Qing He. She used to teach in the countryside. She was about the same age as Lin Qing He, but her child was still young. Four or five years old, which was when they were the most mischievous.
"During this year,’s vacation, I have to go back and see my child." Wang Li said.
"You should." Lin Qing He nodded.
Wang Li’s character was good. Even when she was an educated youth in the countryside, she didn’t dislike her husband at all. After coming, she missed her son dearly. That’s why Lin Qing He would talk with her.
Once back to the dormitory, the others were there.
"Who used my soap?" Wang Li frowned when she returned to the dormitory.
The soap was still damp, it was obviously used.
"Just a borrowed it for a bit. What need is there to talk about it?" The speaker was called Chen Xue. She liked to dress up and was also an educated youth who went to the countryside. From the look of it, she didn’t seem to be married yet.
