Chapter 211 Cultured women in the city are just pretentious and hard to please.
"Mom, we're leaving soon, and we'll probably only be home for about twenty days. Mom, which date do you think we should choose? Tomorrow, my grandpa, dad, and mom are all coming to discuss the wedding." Li Chengsong called his mom quite smoothly.
"Then we'd better hurry. Once we've set a date, I'll call and ask your sisters to come back!" Tong Jiahui was already excited and planned to let the whole world know about her eldest daughter's happy news.
Yu Chen, Yu Xuan, and Yu Qi also surrounded them, talking to them and focusing on reporting on family matters over the years, some of which she already knew. Watching her younger siblings happily chattering away, she felt a surge of joy!
The second child, Yuyao, just graduated from university and returned to the army to do political work; she's already a company-level officer. Linglong, after more than three years in the army, was also recommended to study at a medical school; she won't graduate for several more years.
Xiao Wu Yuhan has already completed her university courses ahead of schedule and graduated. Because of her excellent grades, she entered a research institute in Yan City and is now a colleague of Li Chensong's mother, Lu Xuerong.
"Xiao Liu, Yu Chen, you just graduated from high school, right? If the college entrance examination is reinstated this year, are you planning to take it?" Tong Yuheng asked.
"Really? We can take the college entrance exam now? Is there any definite news, big sister? If we can take it, of course I want to take it!" Yu Xuan was bored and was planning to take on a few missions at the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
"I want to take the exam! I want to study medicine at Yan City Medical University! I plan to study both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine," Yu-Chen said.
"Then I'll study economics, or specialize in doing business..." Yu-hsuan didn't know what that major was called, but she was genuinely interested in doing business.
"Huh!? You've all left, and now it's just me, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu at home!" Yu Qi complained.
"Don't worry, maybe Mom and Dad will go back to work in Yan City soon!" The big movement is over, and many people are gradually returning to work.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Guanglin and his wife to return to work in the provincial government, to important positions. When they learned of their reinstatement, relatives who had wanted to adopt their child flocked to them again.
Ding Lihong held her five-year-old son, Li Chong'an, tightly, as if he were her very eyeball, afraid he would be bullied by these people. Seeing that she had a biological son, and seeing their cold and indifferent attitude towards them, the others left, looking ashamed.
Zhang Yanan also received a notice shortly afterward to return to her original university to teach, and Zhang Yanyan naturally transferred schools with her. When her ex-husband learned of this, he knelt and begged, crying and pleading, asking to remarry her and return to the city together, but Zhang Yanan kicked him out!
This scumbag didn't just come here because he was reported; he was dismissed from school and stripped of his teaching position for seducing young female students and for his moral depravity. Therefore, the school has no chance of reinstating him. A school will never employ a teacher with such poor morals.
Some villagers said Zhang Yanan was heartless. After all, they had been married for many years, and he hadn't done anything like murder or arson. Why couldn't they forgive him? The man had even knelt down, and he was such a cultured and refined man.
Sigh, educated women in the city are just so pretentious and hard to please!
Zhang Yanan no longer had to be so careful not to speak. She smiled and said that she couldn't afford a man like that, and that whoever was interested could take him home!
She simply took Tong Jiahui's advice and, for the last two days before leaving, moved into Yuyao's house with her granddaughter.
When it was time to leave, little Zhang Yanyan cried very sadly, reluctant to part with the Tong family sisters and her brother Yu Chen. It wasn't until Yu Chen said that they would also be going to university in Yan City in the future that the little girl stopped crying.
As for Tong Jiahui, although she sold her job, because Old Tong had been sent to the countryside with a job back then, and he is now old enough to retire, he received back pay for several years and the opportunity to reinstate his job was given to Tong Jiahui.
However, Tong Jiahui refused, mainly because Liu Fengyi's job was here, and he was doing well there. If he were to transfer to Yanshi, it wouldn't be easy for him to find a suitable job. They had been through so much together and didn't want to be separated just because they moved to Yanshi.
Besides, she's very happy being a teacher. Now that the school is going to start English classes, and the county is short of English teachers, she's preparing to switch to teaching English. She plans to move to the county with her father and her younger daughters.
The house in Chenjiatun has been rented for ten years, with more than two years left on the lease, so it doesn't need to be returned for the time being. The brigade leader has decided that after they leave, the house will not be rented out again, but will be used as the brigade headquarters office.
The old man said he planned to stay here for another year or two because the air was better in the countryside. Besides, he needed to train two barefoot doctors for the village before he could leave with peace of mind.
Liu Fengyi had already bought a large courtyard house in the county town, even bigger than the one in Chenjiatun. He searched for several days before finding one that suited him, near the government-run middle school where Tong Jiahui would be working.
There are four rooms on the left and right wings in the front yard, and five and a half rooms along the back wall. Rooms were reserved for the elders and Yu Chen in the main house. He plans to find someone to transfer Tong Jiahui to the county middle school to teach English next spring.
As for Grandpa Tong, his family's pharmacy in Yan City has been returned. He can open a clinic there if he wants, or he can simply pack it up and leave it or rent it out. The collapsed house under Tong Yuheng's name can be rebuilt, so the children who will be working and studying there in the future will have a place to rest.
Tong Anfu's pharmacy is a two-story storefront, only a little over 100 square meters in total, not very big. In recent years, it has been used as office space by the local government and has been renovated to a rather unsightly state; it needs to be properly cleaned up.
Upon hearing Yuheng mention that Yuchen and Yuxuan might be going to Yanshi for university entrance exams, he couldn't sit still and insisted on going back to tidy up the house, saying that he would be waiting there to attend Yuheng's wedding banquet.
Yu Han and Linglong both work and study in Yan City. They had already met after Yu Heng returned and knew she was getting married. They agreed to attend the wedding together when Yu Heng came to Yan City, which is why they didn't go back to Chenjiatun together. Yu Yao received a call from the military and said she would ask for leave to attend her older sister's wedding.
The next day, the Li family drove over to propose marriage. The two families discussed some details and set the wedding date for the following Sunday in Yan City. The Li family wanted to send a car to pick them up, but Liu Fengyi refused, saying he would arrange for a car to arrive a few days earlier.
Tong Yuheng is getting married, and a banquet will be held in Chenjiatun. Tong Jiahui has decided to set it for three days from now!
In Northeast China, it's customary for the bride's family to hold a wedding banquet first when a daughter gets married. While everyone was discussing what dishes to order, Tong Yuheng suddenly realized she hadn't obtained a marriage certificate or a letter of introduction yet!
Captain Chen was efficient; he immediately prepared the letter of introduction and delivered it to them, urging them to hurry up and get their marriage certificate. In the village, girls Yuheng's age already have two or three children!
