Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 259: Life and Learning

The Lu family got up early to look at the house.

Like it?
The Lu family was delighted.

There are many rooms, a large front yard, and an even larger back yard. The house is surrounded by walls. Although there is no heating in the house, there is a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and a heated wall. The floors are all cement, while the bedrooms have wooden floors. There is also an indoor bathroom and a separate sewage channel at the back.

There are five living rooms and a large kitchen where you can eat.

If this house were in the family compound, Meng Xia felt she would be laughing in her dreams.

But I quickly regained consciousness.

This was bought by my daughter, and Qin Hengzhi's money is also here.

And even if it's good, it's still just so-so; the difference between the residential compound and the area outside is simply incomparable.

It's not that I feel superior, but living in a military-affiliated family compound and living in a residential area in the north of the city are different experiences.

Besides, it's inconvenient to go to work.

In short, I have mixed feelings, but mostly I feel proud.

Even if they don't stay, they are still very happy.

After viewing the house, Grandma Lu didn't keep it, but she thought her granddaughter had good taste.

These were houses that only wealthy landowners could live in back then.

After locking the door, Grandma Lu glanced at the backyard and thought that the family had enough vegetables to eat. Besides, it was too late to plant anything now; next year, they could plant potatoes.

Then I realized I was overthinking things again.

She doesn't have the energy to take care of her, since she doesn't live here.

If you don't have the energy to take care of it, won't your neighbors steal everything from you?

They might even take away all the potato vines for you.

Forget it, let's talk about next year's issues next year.

On September 1st, school started, and night school officially began.

Shao Le has detailed instructions on the class schedule, including class times and end times, which are written on a large red paper and posted on the wall.

He's been busy with night school these past few days, and now that classes have finally started, he's finally relieved.

Director Hu and Huang Juan also came and looked around. Old Hu was very satisfied and praised Shao Le.

Shao Le spoke frankly: "I have to thank Lu Qiaoge. She planned all of this for me in advance, and I just followed her plan."

Lu Qiaoge smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Planning is one aspect, but execution is the most important. So, Comrade Shao, you did a really good job!"

Then she looked at Lao Hu and asked with a smile, "Director Hu, would you like to come and learn with us? Don't they say you're never too old to learn?"

Old Hu glared at Lu Qiaoge: "Go to class right now."

He's so old, why is he still studying? He already has presbyopia.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Shao Le. Shao Le originally wanted to run away. He didn't like studying at all, and his current level of education was only due to being forced by his family.

But now that he's in charge of the night school, he has to go there to teach.

The two went to the beginner class.

This is something I started learning in the first year of junior high school.

There were many people attending the night school, and all ten or so classrooms were full.

Some people couldn't find seats, so they simply ran home to get stools.

Most of the food factories and handicraft factories have come.

Su Hui and Lu Zhiguo came together.

Lu Da and Meng Xia support their child's studies.

Now that schools have reopened, it proves that knowledge is still useful.

So everyone thinks this night school is a good business.

Lu Qiaoge thought so too, and she even thought to herself with a smug smile that two years later, all these people would thank her.

Of course, not everyone supports night school, which is normal. As for gossip behind people's backs, that's unavoidable. Lu Qiaoge didn't take it to heart.

The next morning, Lu Qiaoge was preparing to help Sister Hua write a marriage certificate for a young couple who were about to get married in the main office.

There were still a few fruit candies on the table.

Judging from their clothes, these two people probably come from well-off families.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the woman was petite and cute.

Lu Qiaoge read their letters of introduction.

The man was a worker in the workshop named Song Jianfeng, and the woman was a general worker in the materials department named Shi Xiangqin.

Lu Qiaoge recognized her; she and Shi Xiangqin were in the same class.

However, she sat at the very front, while Lu Qiaoge, being tall, sat at the very back.

Lu Qiaoge took out a marriage certificate and placed it on the clean table. Her fountain pen was already filled with ink. Her fountain pen was of good quality and wouldn't leak, but she still checked it.

Both marriage certificates and divorce certificates should be treated with care.

It must be said, however, that the divorce rate is currently very low.

She wrote about marriage certificates the most.

This also made her fountain pens more and more beautiful.

Marriage certificate photos are still black and white.

But since they're all young people, none of them are bad-looking.

Lu Qiaoge always posts photos after she finishes writing them.

With a hint of shyness, Shi Xiangqin asked Lu Qiaoge in a low voice, "Mediator Lu, I saw you last night. You were in the last row of the class, right?"

Lu Qiaoge looked up and smiled, "Yes, that's why you look familiar. You were sitting in the front row, right?"

Shi Xiangqin nodded shyly. She was short, so she sat in the front row.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Lu Qiaoge, "Will our Xiangyang Night School continue indefinitely?"

"Of course we will continue to run it, and strive to ensure that every comrade who goes to night school can reach the level of a high school graduate!" Lu Qiaoge said firmly.

Shi Xiangqin seemed relieved and said, "That's great! I must get my high school diploma."

With her high school diploma, she could become a teacher at a school.

Lu Qiaoge encouraged her: "As long as you participate in the training, you will definitely get it."

Shi Xiangqin blinked: "Then... can I be your deskmate tonight? I feel like you're a better student than me."

"That's alright," Lu Qiaoge readily agreed.

At this moment, Song Jianfeng, who had been standing aside smiling as he watched his future daughter-in-law talk to Lu Qiaoge, gradually lost his smile.

Remembering something, his face darkened. However, since this was the main office of the neighborhood committee, he controlled his emotions and said softly to Shi Xiangqin, "You're getting married soon, shouldn't you be preparing? Why are you going to night school? Do you really want to study?"

Lu Qiaoge's hand, which was about to put down her pen, suddenly stopped.

After glancing at the still blank marriage certificate, Lu Qiaoge began to pack up her pens.

He was wiping the nib of his fountain pen with scrap paper, as if the pen wasn't working properly.

Shi Xiangqin seems to be a very simple girl, not very sensitive.

She didn't notice Song Jianfeng's displeasure and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I have to study. I still need to get my high school diploma."

Song Jianfeng clenched his fist, then asked Lu Qiaoge, "If you really issue high school diplomas, how long will it take?"

Lu Qiaoge said, "As long as you pass the exam, you will definitely receive a nationally recognized high school diploma. As for the time, it is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two. We are currently studying the first year of junior high school, and even with hard work, it will take about two years."

This is already very fast.

Shi Xiangqin clenched her fist: "Then I'll work hard and strive to graduate within two years."
