In the afternoon, the courtyard of the Chen family was lively, and six high school students came as scheduled.

Bao Kun is an English teacher at Capital No. 4 Middle School. Every winter and summer vacation, I will hold a cram school at home to increase my income. He is proficient in Russian and English, can also play the violin, is a well-looking person, and has a humorous and simple class, and is a valuable national special teacher of the school. It became famous in the early years, and the cram school business was booming.

It's a pity that his marriage is not going well. His original wife He Qian was his childhood sweetheart, but soon after getting married, because she couldn't stand the turbulent situation, she gritted her teeth and divorced her husband to draw a line. Later, I heard that she had left a foreign land, leaving only an eight-year-old daughter, Jiaying, and Bao Kun to live on to her life. In the meantime, Yuzhi went to the mountains and went to Fujian, and the family was full of old people and children, and Bao Kun couldn't take care of it alone, so he had to marry a widow Min Xiaoping with a daughter to take care of the family.

Xiaoping is a kind and generous good woman, and she is not bad-looking. There is a bit of handsomeness between the eyebrows. She regarded Jiaying as her own, and in those turbulent days, she relied on her three generations of poor peasant roots to protect her family. For this, Yuzhi is very grateful. It's not good at all, Xiaoping's cultural level is too low. The three generations of the ancestors were poor peasants who had never read a book, and if they married into their own family by mistake, it could be regarded as the smoke of the ancestral grave. The girl she brought was surnamed Wen, named Shanshan, and under the influence of a scholarly family, she was admitted to the North China Electric Power Institute in Baoding, Hebei Province. It can be regarded as a pheasant turning into a phoenix, which completely changed his own fate. No, during the winter and summer vacations, she worked as a teaching assistant for Bao Kun when she went home, helping to lead students together, doing her best, and she was also a conscientious person.

Jia Ying's results are also very good. This child has the inheritance of good looks and high intelligence from his parents. With a body of one meter seven and a small face the size of a palm, she is no worse than Ling Mei. Admitted to the Capital Dance Academy. Now he is a well-known dance star, often performing outside and busy with his career. It's rare to come back a few times a month.

Yuzhi sometimes watched Min Xiaoping busy with housework, and her brother held the English information for translation, and the two couldn't say a few words and were speechless. couldn't help it, she thought of Ling Mei and her son.

People from two different worlds have just got together, what hope is there for this day? This is not a generation gap that can be bridged by academic qualifications, but a world of difference between cultural precipitation and genetic determination in the bones!

Her brother's marital tragedy is irreparable, and she will never let her son repeat it.

******

Fuzhou, Jiangyin Town, Fuqing City.

Lu Fangcao's parents have been in a very good mood lately.

Yerba Grass finally graduated from high school. From now on, you can obediently hook lace at home to earn money to support your family. Halfway through this summer, she has knitted more than 20 pieces of lace. It can be sold for at least 100 yuan. As long as this progress is maintained, 10,000 households are just around the corner.

Wormwood ran into her sister's room from outside and shook her head slightly.

Fangcao had lace on her hand, and her heart sank.

It's already early August, why hasn't the admission letter come yet? Did she really not get into college?

Fangcao's first choice was Guangzhou Textile University. Her college entrance examination score this year is 560, and the overall score in liberal arts is 640. It stands to reason that she shouldn't be off the list with this achievement.

Wormwood looked out and whispered, "Could it be that they stopped the admission letter?"

Fangcao now has to follow her family when she goes out, for fear that she will escape. In fact, it is no different from house arrest. She gritted her teeth and sneered, "Luckily, we were prepared."

She took the line: "You call our mother in."

After a while, Zhao Chunlan entered the house with a smile: "Fangcao, what's the matter?"

Fangcao carefully wrapped the woven lace and handed it to her mother: "These are the goods I promised Ling Mei to drive out. You hurry up and send it to Tan Yuan in Luxu Town, Nanping. Someone over there received the goods."

Zhao Chunlan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay. Have you negotiated the price?"

Fangcao smiled, "It's already been negotiated. Because it was urgent, I was given a price increase. These are 120 bucks. Don't take less."

Zhao Chunlan smiled so much that her eyes were gone: "How could it be?" She paused, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Fangcao drew a new trick, shook her head, and said, "It's weirdly hot, what should I do?" Wouldn't it be nice to knit two more pieces of lace?"

Zhao Chunlan was relieved and said with a smile, "That's it. There is no comfort at home outside."

She walked out with lace and walked back, "Grass. If you can't get into college, you won't be able to get in. Don't take it personally, isn't it better to weave lace and make money than to go to college?"

Fangcao pretended to sigh melancholy, but did not squeak.

Zhao Chunlan smiled, went back to the house and went out with a small bag.

She rushed to Luxu Town, only to find that the Tan Yuan in her daughter's mouth was actually such a big garden!

It's still a private house.

Big family!

She straightened her trousers before knocking on the door, and was soon led into the garden.

It was Lu Bai who received her.

"Here, Fangcao mother. Quench your thirst with a cup of herbal tea."

Zhao Chunlan was a little restrained.

"Thank you."

Lu Bai checked the lace and nodded frequently: "Okay, it's really well knitted." There is nothing to say about this quality. You wait. I'll get you the money."

Zhao Chunlan replied repeatedly: "Don't worry. Slow down."

Lu Bai went out for a while, Zhao Chunlan couldn't help but look around the house, and suddenly heard a big movement outside, and opened his eyes to see, but it was a group of men carrying machines outside.

What's going on?

Zhao Chunlan looked at it for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more wrong it became. Could it be that Xiao Lingmei's garment factory can't be opened, and even the machine has to be moved?

How's that going to work? What about her lace business?

She rushed out of the door in a hurry to ask what was going on, and happened to bump into Lu Bai.

Lu Baiqi said, "What are you anxious about? I'm not coming. I can't run away from your money."

Zhao Chunlan pointed to the porter and asked, "What's the matter? You can't run a garment factory, are you even selling machines?"

"What?!" Lu Bai glared at her and said unhappily, "Tan Yuan is a place rented by our boss. Now our factory has built a factory in Guangzhou. No, all the machines are going to be moved to Guangzhou."

Zhao Chunlan opened her mouth: "Guangzhou, Guangzhou to build a factory?!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, both happy and jealous. Xiao Lingmei's little girl, how much blessing is it! The family has opened a big factory!

Lu Bai handed over the money to her: "120 yuan, why don't you order it."

Zhao Chunlan ordered the money, and suddenly there was a stirring: "Comrade Lu. Your factory has moved to Guangzhou, what will you do with the lace harvesting in the future?"

She can't be sent to Guangzhou, can she?

Lu Bai smiled: "In the future, our factory will not accept scattered lace outside."

Zhao Chunlan's face turned blue: "Don't accept it? So what's going to do? My daughters—"

"Listen to me." Lu Bai raised his hand to signal her to be calm. "Why did you find casual workers before? It's because our factory is small and there is a shortage of people. Now that we have a regular factory, we have to recruit workers next. Recruit regular workers to weave lace in our factory."

Zhao Chunlan's mind was in a mess: "Recruitment, recruitment? Well, my daughter—"

Lu Bai said again: "Didn't your daughter take the university entrance examination this year? I heard that the results are not bad. Is the college offer coming? She's going to be a college student in the future, and you're blessed!"
