Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

Busy days always go by extra quickly. After school started, Han Qiyue and her classmates entered their final semester.

After this semester, they will graduate.

Since Han Qiyue has been admitted as a graduate student by Professor Lu, she does not have to worry about work.

However, she has to participate in some scientific research projects in advance.

This class of graduate students is the first after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The school and teachers attach great importance to them.

The number is naturally even smaller. Mr. Lu only recruited three graduate students in total.

They are all from the same department, but the other two are in a different class from Han Qiyue.

These three people were chosen after three years of investigation.

Mr. Lu had high hopes for these three students, so he taught them very carefully. Of course, teaching carefully meant being very strict.

When Han Qiyue was an undergraduate, her academic performance was considered very good in the class. However, when she was studying with Professor Lu, she still felt insufficient in many areas.

Even though Han Qiyue is his future granddaughter-in-law, Mr. Lu will not hesitate to criticize her when necessary.

Moreover, Mr. Lu’s requirements for Han Qiyue are even higher than those for the other two students.

Under Mr. Lu's wholehearted teaching, Han Qiyue made rapid progress.

There were two other classmates who made progress at the same time as her.

The other two were male classmates, and they were very caring towards Han Qiyue.

Because Han Qiyue is the youngest, the three of them assume that Han Qiyue is the junior sister.

The two senior brothers took care of Han Qiyue, and Han Qiyue also respected the two senior brothers, and the three of them got along very well.

In private, the two had said that they were worried that Han Qiyue would be afraid of hard work and could not endure the hardship. They did not expect that the delicate and weak girl could endure hardships better than them.

Some also said that the teacher's requirements for Han Qiyue were even higher than theirs. This shows that the rumor in the school that Han Qiyue was admitted as an exception because she had an arranged marriage with Mr. Lu's grandson is not true.

Yes, there are indeed similar rumors in the school.

Ever since Han Qiyue became Mr. Lu's graduate student, rumors unfavorable to Han Qiyue and Mr. Lu began to spread from somewhere.

Some people say that the reason why Han Qiyue became Mr. Lu’s student was because of an internal appointment.

Some people also said that Han Qiyue was rich, so the school made an exception and admitted her.

Anyway, there are a lot of rumors like this in school.

In fact, when it comes down to it, it’s just because Han Qiuyue is the only girl among the graduate students admitted this year.

Jinghang is a school with an unbalanced gender ratio, with many more boys than girls.

Therefore, when recruiting graduate students this time, there are more boys than girls.

But then, Han Qiyue appeared and surprised everyone.

In the eyes of many people, for a girl, it is already good enough to go to college, let alone go to graduate school.

There are even some extremely chauvinistic people who believe that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, and there is no need to continue wasting time in school.

That's right, they think that women are wasting their time studying.

After graduating from college, it is enough to get a stable job. There is no point in studying for a master's degree and taking up the quota for men.

Han Qiyue didn't take it too seriously, but she studied and read harder, and put in much more effort than others every day.

Mr. Lu was mostly critical at the beginning, but later on, he just watched with a smile.

Han Qiyue is indeed a very good child, tenacious, persevering, and good at enduring hardships.

Since studying with Grandpa Lu, Han Qiyue has gone to the Lu family for dinner more often.

Every time she went to the Lu family, Han Qiyue would bring some nice things.

The two elders of the Lu family never doubted where these things came from.

Ever since they knew the Han family, the Han family had been well off.

The main reason why the Han family is in good condition is Han Qiyue.

Others may not know, but how could they not know how rich Han Qiyue is?

Just for the few years I spent in college, my monthly salary must have been around two hundred, right?

However, even though they knew Han Qiyue had money, the two elders would still tell Han Qiyue to be frugal, as they already had everything at home.

Han Qiyue and the two elders of the Lu family have always had a very good relationship. After spending some time together, anyone who didn’t know would think that Han Qiyue was their biological granddaughter.

That day, Han Qiyue went to the Lu family with a bag of shrimps.

Although people's living conditions have improved in the past two years, river shrimps and seafood are still high-end products in Beijing and cannot be bought with money.

Han Qiyue only brings it occasionally.

After all, if you bring it once in a while, you can say that you bought it on the road, but if you do it too many times, it will arouse suspicion.

Han Qiyue walked in with a smile, only to find that Lu Jingming had returned.

The last time the two met was half a year ago.

Han Qiyue was very happy after not seeing him for a long time.

However, the two elderly people in the family were still alive, so no matter how happy Han Qiyue was, she had to suppress her joy.

It was Lu Jingming who was standing in the yard, looking at the person he was thinking about.

"July, I'm back!" he said with a smile on his face.

After a few months of separation, Lu Jingming looked thinner and darker than before, but he was still in good spirits.

Lu Jingming must have been very busy during this period.

"Glad you're back. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

After Han Qiyue said this, the two elders of the Lu family couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on their faces.

Although the grandson and his future granddaughter-in-law are rarely together, their love for each other has not faded.

The two of them looked a bit like an old married couple.

There is no need to worry about the two old people.

However, the two young men had been separated for several months, and Jingming was not allowed to write letters, so the two probably had a lot to talk about.

"Jingming, you can chat with Qiyue or take a walk around the campus. Lanying and I will take care of the cooking."

Grandma Han said this and was about to push the two people outside.

Han Qiyue: "..."

Grandma Lu, are you serious? How many times does she walk around the campus every day? What's new?

What's more, she was holding shrimps in her hands. She couldn't go out for a walk with a bag of shrimps in her hand.

"Grandma Lu, I bought some shrimp today..."

"Give me the shrimps. Don't worry, grandma will definitely make them delicious." Grandma Lu took the bag of shrimps from Han Qiyue's hand without hesitation: "Child, you are always luckier than others. You can even buy shrimps."

Grandma Lu muttered to herself, wondering why everyone lived in the same area, so only in July could one find new things, such as fresh fruits or river shrimps or seafood.

Anyway, other people rarely come across such good things.

"I happened to come across this when I went out today, so I bought some extra, enough for two meals. Grandma Lu, please also ask Teacher Fei and Teacher Zheng to come over and try some of this."

"I know, I know, you can go without worry, I will ask the old man to invite them."

Grandma Lu said this and pushed the two people out of the door.

"Let's go for a walk. Today is a nice day."

Lu Jingming was very interested in taking his future wife out.

Especially since their old lady had been so powerful in pushing them out of the house, how could they not take the opportunity to show off their future daughter-in-law?

Lu Jingming actually has his own little thoughts.

He is always away, so why not take your wife out for a walk while he is here? What should you do if someone is paying attention to your future wife?

Han Qiyue didn't know Lu Jingming's little thoughts, but if Lu Jingming was willing to go out, she was happy to accompany him.

After all, two young people who have a good relationship are separated for half a year, and everyone would miss each other.

After they walked a few steps, Lu Jingming suddenly took Han Qiyue's hand.

Han Qiyue wanted to pull it back, but Lu Jingming held it tightly.

It's not like the two of them had never held hands before, but they had never done so in broad daylight.

They have to pay more attention to their image in school, especially when one of them is a teacher and the other is a student.

"July, you are about to graduate, and I am no longer your teacher." Lu Jingming leaned close to Han Qiyue's ear and said.

He was so close that Han Qiyue could feel his warm breath, and before she knew it, her face had turned red.

Suddenly, Han Qiyue smiled: "You are not my teacher now, but Grandpa Lu is my teacher."

When Han Qiyue finished speaking, Lu Jingming hadn't yet realized what she meant, but then he understood.

He pinched Han Qiyue's face and said, "You are getting more and more naughty."

"If you pinch my face again, I will get wrinkles." Han Qiyue said with dissatisfaction, pouting.

Lu Jingming looked at Han Qiyue's still fair and tight face and said, "You are several years younger than me, and you look even more than ten years younger than me. If we go out together, I don't know if anyone will say that I am your uncle."

Especially this time when he came back, Lu Jingming felt that he had aged several years due to the wind and sun. If he didn't marry Han Qiyue home, people would probably say that he was an old cow eating young grass.

"July, let's get engaged!"

Thinking of this, Lu Jingming suddenly spoke.

Han Qiyue didn't expect that Lu Jingming would suddenly say such a thing. She was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Although she had expected this day to come, she still didn't expect it to be so sudden.

"This...your family..."

The people of the Lu family looked down on me from the bottom of their hearts. Although they were not as mean to me as they were at the beginning over the past few years, I couldn't say that they truly loved me.

The only two people in the Lu family who truly love me are Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.

"I have discussed it with my grandparents. We will arrange the marriage when you are on vacation. Of course, you have to agree to this. Do you agree? July."

When Lu Jingming said this, he looked calm, but in fact, he was very nervous and his palms were sweating.

When Han Qiyue heard Lu Jingming talking about getting engaged, she was really confused for a moment.

But she felt Lu Jingming's nervousness.

The hands that were usually dry and warm were now covered in sweat, and even on the forehead, there were fine beads of sweat.

If the atmosphere wasn't wrong, Han Qiyue felt that she should make a joke.

"But……"

But engagement is a big deal, doesn’t it require the consent of the family?

"No problem. In July, we will go to the northwest to discuss it."

Lu Jingming guessed what Han Qiyue was thinking and knew that she was worried that the Han family members could not come to Beijing.

Han Qiyue was very touched to hear Lu Jingming being so thoughtful.

After being reborn, I met this person, who has always been very nice to me.

In her heart, she had already decided that the person in front of her was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

At this moment, Lu Jingming suddenly let go of July's hand, and then fumbled in his clothes pocket in a panic.

Han Qiyue looked at the flustered Lu Jingming and was confused.

Then he saw Lu Jingming take out a ring from his trouser pocket.

"Qiyue, this is our Lu family's ancestral ring. My grandmother gave it to me and asked me to give it to you and propose to you..."

Lu Jingming became more and more nervous as he spoke, and he couldn't even speak clearly because of nervousness.

This ring should be the one that Han Qiyue took out from the Lu family’s basement and finally gave to the two elders of the Lu family.

Han Qiyue looked at the gold ring inlaid with jade in front of her and didn't say a word for a long time.

Lu Jingming thought Han Qiyue disagreed and became even more nervous.

"July, do you think it's too stingy for me to only take out this ring?"

July knows how many things there are in the house. After all, it is because of July that these things are preserved.

After July took away all his things, their basement was visited by other people.

If these things are not shipped out in time in July, others will benefit from them.

Logically speaking, it would be reasonable to give all those things to July.

But, there are so many people in their family, and grandma and grandpa probably want to treat everyone equally.

"Don't worry, July. Grandma said that she would give me a separate copy in the future. Everything I give you is yours. Also, you have kept all those things at home. Grandma said that she would prepare a separate copy for you, which is about one third of the total."

Han Qiyue only realized at this time that Lu Jingming was thinking in the wrong direction.

She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I don't mean to dislike you, it's just..." Han Qiyue didn't know why she suddenly lost her mind.

Perhaps it was because for her, this meant completely getting rid of what happened in her previous life!

"Qiyue, you don't have to worry about anything as long as I'm here. I've already thought about it. When we get engaged, we'll be in the northwest, and when we get married, we'll go to Beijing."

"When the time comes, I'll bring my family to Beijing and have some fun there. What do you think?"

Han Qiyue had a smile on her face, but she felt that it was not appropriate for her to say this.

"When I get home, I'll discuss it with grandma. She'll have to agree first." Han Qiyue said in a low voice.

"Grandma will definitely agree. She likes me very much." Lu Jingming said proudly while holding Han Qiyue's little hand.

Han Qiyue glared at him.

This person can really tell the truth.

However, Grandma Han really liked Lu Jingming and often asked when she could see Lu Jingming again.

However, due to the nature of his work, Lu Jingming has not been able to go home with him in the past few years.

"When we have the holidays, we will go to the northwest together. Grandpa and grandma said they want to go too." Lu Jingming leaned closer to Han Qiyue and said.

This was actually decided before he went on this business trip. He had originally decided to take advantage of the holiday in July before returning, but who knew that he would receive a business trip assignment at the last minute and he had to change his plans.
