Chapter 287 My mother-in-law’s family is here
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Gu Jingming's final exams were over and Teacher Shen's school was on vacation. She, Wang Qun, and Wang Xia made an appointment to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day. Gu Jingming came to Ruan Ruan to help take care of Wang Xia's two children. Although Gu Jingming was not good at Chinese, he was still quite capable when it came to tutoring children.
Grandma secretly asked someone to help Huo Haoshen and the others calculate the time. In the end, they looked at two times, one was July 7th, and the other was National Day. Finally, they chose July 20th. After the time was selected, He Yuwei and Lu Shuyan called home. The He father and son said that they would definitely come at that time. As for the Lu family, because of Mayor Lu's special status, it would be inconvenient for him to travel, so only her mother and eldest brother would come. Lu Shuyan didn't say anything about this. Grandma and Wang Qun were very happy to hear that their in-laws were coming.
It was already the end of June, and their wedding was not far away. Ruan Ruan spent three days drawing wedding dresses for the two couples, and then went to the grandmother's place accompanied by her grandmother. Because the clothes designed this time were a little ethnic, it took some time. Fortunately, the grandmother had learned some embroidery before and was also interested in ethnic costumes, so after getting the consent of Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan, she went to help every now and then.
During the wedding preparations, Ruan Ruan, accompanied by Huo Haocheng, went to see the scholars who had been brought back. Once the other scholars were brought back, they were directly arranged in the school's dormitory building. Considering that the scholars might have a difficult time in life at the beginning, Ruan Ruan was worried that providing them with direct help would hurt their character. Finally, Ruan Ruan thought of a compromise and deducted the money from their wages.
Everyone agreed with this plan. Their transfer order came too suddenly. They had originally prepared themselves to die in a foreign land. However, they did not expect that one day, several military comrades came with their transfer order, took them on a train without any preparation, and brought them to Yuncheng.
Originally they had prepared themselves for a new round of humiliation and criticism, but they did not expect that what awaited them would be good meals and their own independent dormitories. Here, no matter whether they were soldiers or villagers, when they saw them, they would greet them in a friendly manner.
When they first arrived here, the soldier who picked them up handed them over to a man named Zheng Xuyang. He and two staff members arranged accommodation for them. Zheng Xuyang and the other two also told them about the surrounding environment and then let them rest first. They said that after they had rested, they could go for a walk around the area. This area belonged to a female comrade named Ruan Ruan, who had thought of many ways to bring them here.
In the first few days, they didn't dare to go out. Even though they were here to be teachers, their current identities had not been rehabilitated, and they were afraid that too much contact with outsiders would have a bad influence on others. Later, two administrative staff members arranged by the school, at the instruction of Zheng Xuyang, first took them on a tour to familiarize themselves with the school and introduced the future structure and distribution map of the school to them one by one. Afterwards, they took them to the supermarket and explained the surrounding environment to them in detail.
In the meantime, they also met workers from the factory or villagers from the surrounding areas. After knowing that they were the teachers invited by Comrade Ruan Ruan, everyone welcomed them very much. Some comrades even took their hands and told them about their children. Some said that their children liked going to school very much and hoped that the teachers could give them more guidance.
Some comrades also said that their children were very naughty when they were in their hometown. Now that they have come here, they were quiet for two days at first, but now they have become even worse. They either go to the village river to fish with the children from neighboring families, or some of them don’t know their place and imitate the soldiers to go hunting in the mountains. They are really angry and beat them every three days. They hope that the teachers can discipline them strictly when school starts.
When they first came into contact with them, the scholars were still a little reserved, but more and more comrades came around and talked to them, all hoping that the teachers could discipline the children strictly. Gradually, they also brought themselves into the role of teachers, and relaxed in front of the parent comrades. After listening to the comrades' words, they also expressed that they would do their best to teach the children.
After receiving everyone's affirmation, the teachers went back happily. On the way back, the scholars asked the administrators why the people here didn't care about their identities and were willing to send their children to them for teaching even though they knew they were labeled as bad elements? You know, in the place where they were sent down before, the adults avoided them as much as possible. Not only did they control them, but they also told their children not to talk to them. If they saw them, they had to stand far away. If they went to talk to them, they would run away. So now they were friendly to them when they met them for the first time, which made them very confused?
The administrative staff can understand their problem. If it were in other places, such a situation might not happen. But here they have Comrade Ruan Ruan. Everything they see is created by her for them. She has given them a decent job, a complete family, and has helped the surrounding villagers increase their annual income. So, after knowing that these people are the teachers she has found to teach the children, everyone accepts it. In their hearts, whatever Comrade Ruan Ruan does is for their own good.
After their explanation, the scholars all expressed their understanding. Comrade Ruan Ruan had previously arranged for people to secretly deliver supplies to them, and now she was trying her best to bring them to the level within her ability. They were even more grateful to her.
From then on, the scholars would walk around every day, feeling the local customs and the simplicity of the villagers, which they liked. Therefore, they also got a general idea of the children in advance and roughly knew where their problems lay. They also began to make several teaching plans based on the children's learning.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the eve of Zheng Xuyang's wedding. The He family's father and son and the Lu family's mother and son arrived in Yuncheng a week in advance. In their words, they came early so that they could prepare some dowry for their daughters.
When they arrived, Huo Haoshen drove the factory car to pick them up. Because Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang had not moved into their new house yet, they were taken to the small courtyard where they had been living. After Huo Haoli and Zheng Xujie's house was cleaned up, they left their brother behind and moved in, so the He family's father and son and Lu family's brother were also able to stay. Lu family's mother lived with Lu Shuyan and the others.
As soon as He Mingyu and Xiao Pingyu arrived at the courtyard, they toured it inside and out. They were mainly worried because it was better when Huo Haoli and Zheng Xujie were there. Now there are only four of them living here, and something is bound to happen! Seeing that the wedding is imminent, if something really happens, they can only swallow their anger, but their impression of Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, they are very satisfied with the results of the inspection.
Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang, who were standing by, were also scared after seeing the behavior of their father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, they listened to their grandmother and did not get into trouble before the marriage. Otherwise, they were really afraid that their mother-in-law would say that the marriage was not going to happen. To be honest, Huo Haoshen was still quite afraid of Xiao Yuping. You know, his mother-in-law was once a queen of the military! If Mayor Lu took her in, I heard that he didn't know how many people he would have to take advantage of.
