This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 31: Liu Xianghua and Chen Aiguo's Couple Talk

Liu Xianghua finished sewing the last stitch, picked up the mattress and shook it.

Chen Aiguo, lying on the kang, glanced at his wife and said, "You're quite quick! Give it to me, I'll take it to Uncle Wang~"

Liu Xianghua slapped Chen Aiguo's hand away and said disdainfully, "Just stay by your side! Who wouldn't talk to you when they see you when you go out?

When people ask you what you're doing with the mattress, how will you answer? If you do it three or five times, you'll be exposed! Let Shuning go~"

"Hey~ Are you her biological mother? What have you done to Shuning's reputation?" Chen Aiguo was unwilling.

Liu Xianghua glared at him and said sullenly, "How could it be me who was so angry? Our Shuning is an outgoing and articulate person.

Who made those gossipy old ladies in our village always pick on her? They deserve to be scolded, especially that Wang Erxiu!

Chen Aiguo advised, "That's enough! Haven't you all gotten your revenge? Who in the village isn't laughing at Wang Erxiu now? I'll pick you up tonight. I see she didn't even dare to go into the cafeteria to eat!"

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to find Shuning. You're just pretending to be a good person! Humph!"

Liu Xianghua quickly folded the mattress and tucked it under her armpit, lifted the curtain, and went into Chen Shuning's room.

Today, Chen Jiawang told Chen Shuning that the college entrance exam might be reinstated, and Chen Shuning started to think. There were too few university places, and no matter how she calculated it, it wouldn't be her turn!

Furthermore, if she was recommended, she could only attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, a program Chen Shuning wasn't interested in. If the Gaokao were reinstated, she would have picked up her textbooks.

When Liu Xianghua pushed the door open, Chen Shuning was flipping through a high school textbook.

"Shuning, why are you reading again for no reason? What's wrong? Are you thinking of becoming a teacher?"

There is only one teacher in the village now, Yang Guoqing, and he has to teach all the primary school courses, which is very stressful!

After a village meeting, they decided to select another teacher to teach the children alongside Yang Guoqing. The exams were coming up in a few days.

The educated young people in the village, as well as the educated youths in the educated youth centers, have been eyeing the position of teacher recently!

Being a teacher is respected, you are protected from the wind and rain, and you earn just as much work points.

"My second brother said the college entrance exam might be reinstated in the next few years." Chen Shuning closed the book and continued, "Mom! I want to go to college!"

Chen Shuning has never left her hometown since she was a child. The farthest place she has been is the county town! She longs to see the outside world.

Liu Xianghua sighed and said helplessly, "You take something that doesn't exist seriously? Shuning, I'm telling you, you'd better not read any further!"

You and your second brother both finished high school. Just supporting you two through high school would have drained our family's savings! You two already have the highest education in the village!"

Besides, you are already eighteen years old, it is time to find a husband! Let’s not talk about whether the college entrance examination can be restored. Even if it is restored, how old will you be when you graduate from college?

The boy was 20 years old, and the girl was 18 years old, which was the age to get a marriage certificate! Other girls were already married, but Chen Shuning still hadn't found a husband!

If she continues to study at university for a few more years, wouldn't she become an old maid? Besides, whether the college entrance examination can be restored is still uncertain!

What if this is a rumor? Wouldn't that ruin her daughter's life? How could Liu Xianghua not be anxious?

"Mom, don't rush into marriage! Look at my sister Shuyi. Isn't it because my second aunt was too anxious and hurriedly married her off that things ended up like this?"

"Besides... I didn't empty our family's wealth! You guys also spent a lot of money on my eldest brother looking for a job!"

There are three children at home! Who doesn't spend money? What Chen Shuning hates most is that she spends all the family money!

Chen Jiaxing dropped out of school after finishing junior high school. Chen Aihua saw that it was not good for her nephew to stay at home like this and wanted to let her nephew join the army, but Chen Jiaxing was unwilling.

Later, Chen Aiguo and his two brothers discussed it and used their connections to get Chen Jiaxing a job as a temporary worker in a food factory.

Chen Jiaxing was a hardworking and sweet-talker. Not long after he started working, he was able to curry favor with the deputy director of the food factory and found a backer for himself!

Later, an old employee retired and there was no one in his family to take over. The deputy factory director took the lead and asked Chen Jiaxing to buy the position!

At that time, Chen Aiguo paid a lot of money to his eldest son! He also borrowed some money from his two younger brothers to complete the matter.

Liu Xianghua knew she had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends: "Okay, okay! I said something wrong~ But your dad and I are not partial!

The money spent on you three siblings is about the same. When your eldest brother bought a job, he borrowed money from your second and third uncles, and he paid it back himself!

Besides, your eldest brother only went to junior high school, so he saved two years of tuition fees than you! We should help him with his work more, which is what we should do~"

Chen Shuning wasn't upset because her family paid for her eldest brother's job. She was simply not happy about what her mother said!

Chen Shuning pouted and said angrily, "Anyway, I don't like to hear it! Don't say that again! Also, finding a partner is my own business!"

I'll get married naturally when I meet the right person, so don't push me! It's a new society now, love is free!"

Liu Xianghua was not happy to argue with her daughter about these things. Her daughter was stubborn and would only respond to soft words and not harsh words. The more she was provoked, the more excited she became.

Liu Xianghua placed the mattress on Chen Shuning's bed and said, "Go! Send it to your Grandpa Wang later! Stay hidden and don't let anyone see you!"

Hey, our family isn't well off, and we rely on your dad's salary to survive! This mattress is made of old cotton. Tell your Grandpa Wang about it!

It's okay, let's just use it for now! Once winter is over and things get better for us next year, we'll buy him a new one!"

This mattress was made by taking apart all the mattresses in the family, leveling them out, and then making it.

Since Chen Shuning stopped going to school, the Chen family has finally recovered! In the past few months, Chen Aiguo and his wife have paid off some of their external debts and estimate that they will be paid off by the end of the year.

Chen Shuning put on his shoes, hugged the mattress in his arms, and walked out with a sullen face.

Liu Xianghua was also angry. She went back to the house with a stern face and yelled at Chen Aiguo, "Look at the good girl you gave birth to! Now she doesn't even listen to me!

As soon as I opened my mouth, she started to criticize me! It really… pissed me off! I think she's just been studying so much that her mind has become wild! And she's even going to college…"

When Chen Aiguo heard the words "college entrance exam," his eyes lit up! He sat up from the kang and asked expectantly, "College entrance exam? Can I take the college entrance exam? What? Are they going to reinstate the college entrance exam?"

"You're so happy! You want to reinstate the college entrance examination? I think you three, father and son, are just dreaming!" Liu Xianghua was still thinking about getting Chen Aiguo to agree with her so that she could feel at ease!

The result? That's it! This father is more eager to go to college than his daughter!

Chen Aiguo smiled awkwardly and quickly coaxed Liu Xianghua: "Hehe~ How can it be just a dream! I think it can come true!

Our son, Wang, is going to join the army next year. He told me he wants to get a place in college once he's in the army! I think there's nothing wrong with our son!

If the college entrance examination is reinstated, I will let Shu Ning take it too! Who knows, maybe our Chen family can produce two more college graduates! "

Liu Xianghua muttered, "What's so good about studying? I don't know why you're so energetic and work so hard to send your children to school!"

Not to mention Chenjia Village, even in the entire Dahe Town, the only person who is dedicated to supporting children's education is Chen Aiguo!

Other people's children go to work in the fields before they even finish elementary school. Chen Aiguo has three children, one in junior high school and two in high school. What's the value of this?

Chen Aiguo explained with a smile: "You don't understand! There's a huge difference between being educated and being uneducated! Tell me, if I couldn't read, could I work in the post office?

Back when my three brothers and I were in literacy classes, the whole village laughed at us, saying we were just putting on airs and that peasants like us couldn't possibly learn to read. What about now?

I was the worst off, but at least I had a stable job! Aihua and Aidang both joined the army, while the illiterate ones were discharged early, leaving my two younger brothers behind!

Now they are both cadres! Everyone in the village, young and old, is envious of our family! "

Liu Xianghua thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case! Her anger subsided a lot! But she refused to admit it. A woman of the Republic would never admit defeat!

"Just keep talking nonsense! I wonder if the college entrance examination can be restored!"

Chen Aiguo was also unconvinced: "I'm telling you! If my daughter gets into college, I'll be furious if you stop her from going!"

Liu Xianghua also said stubbornly: "Supply! Supplement! Supplement! I will tire you to death when I see you!"
