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

"Forget it, let's not think about her. I guess, even if she were standing in front of us now, we might not be able to recognize her." Han Qiyue shook her head and said.

Han Qiyue has always disliked worrying about irrelevant people and irrelevant things.

Li Mingxing, from the moment you left the dormitory, you have embarked on a different path from them. Why should you miss them?

The people who were talking did not notice that there was a small stall selling socks not far from them.

The stall owner is a young girl who looks weathered but probably not very old.

When she saw a few people walking in front of her, she couldn't help but look over, then quickly lowered her head, afraid of being seen by them.

However, she was always listening to what several people were saying.

Perhaps, everything could be different, but it was too late for her life.

When she looked up again, the group of chattering girls had already walked away.

Tears were streaming down her face.

******

That night, the girls ended up sleeping together in the dormitory.

They began the last dorm chat of their college career.

Even Ma Anmei, who lived close to home, insisted on staying in the dormitory to accompany her friends who she spent every day with.

Although they knew clearly that they would never again lie together and talk like this, they were not very sad because they would still meet in the future. What they talked about more was not about farewell, but about everyone's feelings.

The next morning, except for Ma Anmei, the other students packed up the last bit of luggage left in the dormitory, which was bedding, and sent it to Han Qiyue's house.

Then they went to the train station one after another and went their separate ways.

Unlike others who returned alone, Hu Yuanyuan took Wu Jiefang back with her.

When leaving, the little girl was extremely happy.

Han Qiyue returned home two days later than them.

The main reason is that the two elders of the Lu family, Teacher Zheng and Teacher Fei still have two days of classes to finish.

However, while waiting for the elderly, Han Qiyue was not idle. She was still busy with the affairs of the electronic machinery factory and the garment factory.

Speaking of the garment factory, she actually thought about returning it to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

However, as soon as this topic was brought up, it was firmly stopped by Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Even teachers Fei and Zheng were strongly opposed to it.

They all felt that this was what Han Qiyue deserved.

After all, in these four years, the Beijing Airlines Garment Factory has grown from nothing to a large factory with two to three thousand workers, and Han Qiyue has made an indelible contribution to this.

Why should I hand over the factory just because I graduate?

Besides, although Han Qiyue has graduated, she is still a student of Beijing Aviation University. This makes absolutely no sense.

In the end, Han Qiyue had no choice but to give up and hide the idea.

When Han Qiyue set out for home, the Lu family's two elders, Teacher Fei, Teacher Zheng and Lu Jingming, a group of six, were there, and it was extremely lively.

Because it was not easy for several elderly people to move between upper and lower bunks, when Lu Jingming asked someone to buy train tickets, he bought four connected lower berths and two middle berths.

This way, it will be convenient for Han Qiyue and Lu Jingming to take care of the elderly.

Grandma Lu was very excited about returning to the Northwest.

"Come to think of it, I thought I might not survive at first, but who knew I would meet a beautiful and kind girl like July."

"Speaking of which, the people in the village are actually pretty nice, and it's not like no one has noticed that the Han family is helping us..."

"Some people in the village have also helped us, although it was just a small thing, but at that time, everyone's life was not rich. Jingming, when we go to the village, you should prepare more gifts. We should thank those who helped me and your grandfather one by one, so that they won't say that we are not polite."

When Grandma Han talked about this, Lu Jingming immediately agreed.

As long as grandparents are happy, that's fine.

As for gifts, won’t it be easy to buy them once we arrive in the provincial capital?

Now supplies are not as scarce as they were in the past two years. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to buy anything.

By the time Lu's parents discovered that everyone in the family had left, Han Qiyue and others had already arrived in the northwest.

Mother Lu was angry, but was persuaded by Father Lu.

"We can't control this matter now, so don't make yourself unhappy."

"What do you mean by making yourself unhappy? It's obviously them who went too far. Old Lu, tell me, am I wrong for not letting Jingming marry a girl from the countryside with no roots?"

Father Lu sighed and said, "You are right. You want to find a wife with a good family background for Jingming. This is for Jingming's own good. However, you always forget that in life, the most important thing is that two people can get along well."

"The children are grown up now, and their parents support them, so let them be! In the future, we can be more comfortable if we interfere less in their affairs."

"But, Lao Zhao said..." Mother Lu was very dissatisfied and felt that her love was wasted.

When Mr. Lu heard his wife talking about Zhao Jinxiu, his face, which originally had a smile on it, changed color.

"You shouldn't always listen to Zhao Jinxiu. She just thinks our Jingming is good and wants her niece to marry him. But you know what kind of girl Zhao Yuxia is?"

"I'm not saying anything wrong, but Zhao Yuxia is really not as good as Han Qiyue. Even if she has a good family background, she is not worthy of Jingming."

"And Zhao Jinxiu, during all those years when we were suffering, she never even asked about us, let alone helped us. She never even wrote us a letter. How could you still be friends with someone like her?"

Mother Lu was speechless after hearing what Father Lu said.

In the end, I could only sigh.

"Let's go home. I guess this time, when my parents go there, they will finalize the wedding. As parents, we have to prepare in advance no matter what. We still have to do a good job of organizing our children's marriage."

Mother Lu finally nodded, and the couple turned back home to prepare for their son's marriage.

Grandma Lu and others, led by Han Qiyue, soon arrived at the tailor shop.

Four months later, the tailor shop was expanded. Before, there was only one shop, but now, there are two connected shops.

When Han Qiyue and a few others walked in, Xia Xiuhe was busy receiving customers and introducing them to the latest designs of coats and backpacks in the shop.

"Mom, I'm back!" Han Qiyue shouted.

Xia Xiuhe turned around and saw her daughter. She then thought of letting her daughter sit down and have a rest. Then she saw the two elders of the Lu family.

She hurriedly called over a little girl to continue introducing the situation to the guests, and she herself hurried forward.

"Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, why are you two here?"

"I came back to have a look. I've been away for a few years. I was afraid that if I didn't come again, I would never be able to come again." Grandma Lu smiled and said, "But you look more energetic than when you were in the village."

Xia Xiuhe smiled and said, "You are joking. I am old too. I just dress differently in the city. I look a little better."

Indeed, Xia Xiuhe has changed a lot now compared to when she was in the village. A neat set of light grey clothes makes her look much better.

But it is much better than the dark colors I wore in the village before.

After all, she is working in the clothing industry now, so of course she cannot be too tacky. Therefore, she dresses much more carefully than before.

While Xia Xiuhe was talking to Grandma Lu, she was preparing to pour tea for a few people.

It was only at this time that I discovered that in addition to the three generations of the Lu family, there was also a strange couple.

The two of them looked very energetic and they seemed to be no ordinary people.

"July, these two are..."

Han Qiyue introduced with a smile: "Mom, this is what I told you before, Teacher Fei and Teacher Zheng. Since I came to Jinghang to study, they have helped me a lot. Over the years, let alone other things, they have not skipped meals."

When she said this, her eyes were curved with a smile, and it was obvious that she was praising sincerely.

"So you are Teacher Zheng and Teacher Zhao. Qiyue always talks about you every time she comes back. I am so grateful for your care for Qiyue over the past few years."

"When this child left so far away, her father and I were extremely worried."

Han Qiyue was really surprised to hear her own mother say so many words in one breath.

After all, the aunt in the family talks a lot, and her mother basically just agrees with her.

But now, I can actually say so much in one breath.

"You are so polite. You have taught July well and we like it." Teacher Zheng also said with a smile.

She had been wondering how July, a country girl, could be so generous and decent. Now she realized that this was a problem of her family upbringing.

Although July's mother is a businesswoman, she doesn't have any smell of money. Instead, she makes people feel very comfortable, which is very rare.

After a few more small talk, they finally got to know each other.

"July, go over and tell your grandma that there are guests at home."

Xia Xiuhe thought that her mother-in-law was still the head of the family, so when guests came, she would have to let her mother-in-law come out.

What's more, when the two elders were in the village before, mother-in-law and Aunt Lu had a lot to talk about.

The two of them have always had a good relationship. Ever since Aunt Lu passed away, my mother-in-law has been talking about her a lot.

That night, Grandma Han cooked personally and entertained Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu and others.

During the meal, Grandma Han couldn't help but thank the elderly people for taking care of Han Qiyue.

"Now that you are here, you have to stay longer." Grandma Han did not forget to keep her guests.

"Sister, if you don't keep us, I will also stay for a while. I also want to go back to the village." Grandma Lu had a smile on her face.

Although that period of time was not a memorable one for them, she still missed it very much.

"We won't be back until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month. How about letting Qiyue go back with you?"

Grandma Lu thought that business had been good recently and she was really reluctant to leave her business in the city and go home.

"Big sister, this time we came here, in addition to visiting old friends, we also have another important matter to discuss with you."

It took Grandma Lu a lot of effort to say this.

Grandma Han didn't understand for a moment.

"Look, Jingming is not young anymore, and Qiyue has graduated from college. We just want to settle their affairs so that we, as old people, can feel more at ease in the future."

As Grandma Lu spoke, she watched their expressions with peace of mind.

Grandma Han smiled cheerfully and said, "I like Jingming, too. But my eldest son is not married yet. It's fine to arrange a marriage, but I think we should wait a little longer. Sister, do you think my consideration makes sense?"

According to the customs of my hometown, the older children should get married first. If the younger ones get married first, it will be bad for the older ones.

Sanyang in the family is already married. If Xiaoqi also gets married, the eldest and second sons may never be able to find a wife in their lifetime.

Therefore, Grandma Han thought about finding a partner for the two of them and urged them to get married as soon as possible. After all, they were already quite old and it would not be a good idea to continue dragging it out.

"Let's set the wedding first. He still has three years of schooling to go around July, so it's okay for us to get married next year." Grandma Lu smiled happily.

This time, I was only thinking about getting engaged. As for getting married, I would have to choose another date.

Han Qiyue listened to the two old men talking back and forth and decided the matter.

Teacher Zheng standing by couldn't help but look at Grandma Lu with a reproachful look.

Didn't we agree to ask me and Lao Fei to be the matchmaker? How come you have to handle everything yourself?

So what are these old couple here for?

But on second thought, as long as things are settled, isn't it all about making the children happier?

Grandma Han has already started thinking about how to supervise her eldest and second sons.

You said you wanted to study before, but now you don’t study anymore, right?

You can't let these two rascals ruin Xiaoqi's marriage, right?

Grandma Lu, who had received the confirmation, had already started thinking about what to prepare as a betrothal gift.

Naturally, there are some good things at home, but besides Lu Jingming, there are other children, so they can't all be spent on Lu Jingming alone.

This matter needs to be considered carefully.

But we can't let the whole family become alienated just for Jingming.

Thinking of this, Grandma Lu was actually quite envious of the Han family.

After all, the first and second branches of the Han family are as close as one family.

Although the two families have now opened their own shops and are considered separated, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law is still good.

She felt that although she claimed to be an intellectual, she was not as good as Grandma Han, an old country lady, when it came to educating children.

Knowing that the Lu family elders and teachers Fei and Zheng planned to stay in the northwest for the New Year, Grandma Han was extremely happy.

"It just so happens that we bought a yard in the city, which is big enough for us to live in." Grandma Han introduced enthusiastically.

The reason why this yard was bought so early was because Lu Jingming wrote back saying that he would come over during the New Year to discuss the marriage.

Grandma Han gritted her teeth and finally bought her first house in the city.

They have a house in the countryside, but the whole family is in the city. They can't just invite a few people to the countryside, right?

Just at this time, there was a yard for sale with a suitable price, a good location and a large number of houses. Grandma Han gritted her teeth and bought the yard.
