Chapter 40
After she calmed down, Lu Xianrun explained: "Your mother and I have been paid a lot these years. You are the only child in the family. We usually eat in the cafeteria. When we are sick, the military hospital doesn't spend much money. Apart from human relations, we take care of you during the holidays. The family members of the former comrades-in-arms didn’t have any big expenses. The money was saved by me and your mother’s wages and bonuses. When my father was young, in order to let you live a good life, he saved a lot of military merit. Don’t think that you Dad used some improper means."

"Of course I believe my father, but I didn't expect that our family would have so much savings."

"Haha, this is not very normal. Our family still has a lot of background before. Those who sold it were sold off, and those who were given away were given away. Your grandparents are only my son. They left early. Dad's family has no elders to support them. There are few things left, but there are still a few old items, and your mother is only your aunt, and although your mother spent a lot on medical treatment, the money for that ginseng has not been used up yet."

Thinking of her mother, Lu Jingqiu, she sighed quietly, but didn't dare to mention it, for fear that her father would also be sad along with her.

It's not that Lu Xianrun is not sad, it's just that in such an atmosphere, he doesn't want to worry his daughter, so he smiled and said, "Papa will keep this money for you as a dowry."

"Dad, I can earn money now, it's 25 a month, and I can save my own dowry."

"I guess your salary is not enough for you?"

Lu Jingqiu silently shut up, but no, her monthly salary is only enough for her to buy two clothes.

"Dad, don't underestimate me, I can make a lot of money."

"Okay, Dad, look, it's almost Chinese New Year, you can use the money to buy some New Year's goods, and buy a few clothes if you like."

Lu Jingqiu shook her head. Before her mother left, she knitted a sweater for her and bought several clothes, as did her father.

These clothes are enough: "Dad, I want to go to university next year."

Lu Xianrun was very happy when he heard this. The resumption of the college entrance examination this year proves that there will be more and more talents in the future. People with high education will be rushed by the work unit. My daughter was delayed this time because of family matters. He is still very sorry.

I was thinking about asking my daughter what she meant after the new year, but I didn't expect her daughter to have such a plan.

"Okay, Dad fully supports you. After the Chinese New Year, you can buy some study materials and come back. If you don't want to go to work, you can quit your job and concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Lu Jingqiu smiled: "Dad, don't worry, I still have confidence in the exam, and work won't affect me."

"Now that you are sensible, you have your own opinions, and you can think about things yourself. Dad, I support you."

"kindness."

When the results of the college entrance examination came out, Lu Jingqiu was busy drawing the design posters for the book fair at the end of the year, which was the introduction of several picture books published this year, and they were going to be printed and placed in every Xinhua bookstore for publicity.

This matter was originally assigned to Yang Bo. Yang Bo had a book cover that needed to be changed. In fact, the editor-in-chief assigned this job to her and Luo Xinyue to design it together. Luo Xinyue had a good idea in her heart, but she just couldn't draw it. There is no way to come out, it can only be done by Lu Jingqiu alone.

When proofreading the poster, it was approved by the editor-in-chief, and Luo Xinyue became sour in the half-office: "Lu Jingqiu, what does the editor-in-chief mean? This poster is not without my credit. You are a newcomer. Don't be too pushy."

Lu Jingqiu was not angry either, she blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm new here, I don't dare, Editor Luo, don't worry."

"What's your attitude?"

Lu Jingqiu said: "Could it be that Editor Luo is not satisfied with my attitude?"

Luo Xinyue was annoyed when she saw Lu Jingqiu's face that smiled at everyone. She wanted to quarrel with her, but if she didn't answer her, she wouldn't make fun of herself, so she left the office with a cold face.

As soon as Luo Xinyue left, Yang Bocai said, "Editor Lu, don't get angry with Editor Luo, she is just like this, her eyes are so wide open."

"Amount" is indeed.

After work, Lu Jingqiu went to the farmer's market. After half an hour, there was already a long queue at the meat stand.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are still a lot of meat cuts.

Lu Jingqiu waited for 10 minutes, and the rest of the meat was not very good. Fortunately, I got pork suet.

After getting the meat, I went to buy a few radishes. Today I brought a lot of food tickets, but I didn’t bring any fish tickets. Now when I encounter fresh fish, I can only watch helplessly.

"Hey, this fish is really fat."

"Comrade, do you want to buy fish?"

Lu Jingqiu was looking at Yu Yu regretfully, when an aunt beside her suddenly said.

"Yes, unfortunately there is no fish ticket."

When the aunt heard this, she quickly pulled Lu Jingqiu. Lu Jingqiu understood immediately, and followed her to a place where no one was around.

The aunt looked around and took out two fish tickets from her pocket: "I have two here, I am short of meat tickets now, do you have any, girl?"

Lu Jingqiu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Auntie wants to change a few catties."

"How many pounds do you weigh?"

"There is a five-pound one, and there is a two-pound one."

"What do you want me to do?"

"But I can't buy that many fish, Auntie."

"I have other tickets here, egg tickets."

"Egg tickets are also available."

Lu Jingqiu and the aunt successfully exchanged for fish tickets and bought two fish to go back.

I was thinking about how to get two hens to go back to raise, so that I don't have to worry about not being able to buy eggs.

She remembered that Aunt Liu's family raised several chickens. Coincidentally, she met Aunt Liu next door at the door and asked, "Aunt Liu, will your chickens nest next spring?"

"Jingqiu, what, you want to raise?"

"Well, I want to raise two hens that lay eggs. Aunt Liu, if your chickens are brooding, can you keep two of them for me, and I can exchange them for a catty of meat tickets."

"Success, Auntie will keep it for you."

"Thank you, auntie. You are busy. I will go back to the hospital first."

As soon as we separated from Aunt Liu, Aunt Cuihua came out from the opposite side. When she saw her, she couldn't stop talking:

"Jingqiu, do you know that kid Gao Shu brought his rural wife back today?"

Lu Jingqiu paused slightly when he heard this, thinking of his previous life, he had forgotten about it.

"Aunt Cuihua, I just got off work, so I don't know yet."

"Girl Jingqiu, you don't know yet. Gao Shu is with her daughter-in-law. You and Gao Shu are in the same educated youth team. How did Gao Shu meet his wife? Tell your aunt."

Lu Jingqiu said: "Aunt Cuihua, I went later than Gao Shu, and the two of them were already dating in the past, I really didn't know about it."

"Tsk, what did Gao Shu think, why did he marry a rural woman and come back?"

Seeing that Aunt Cuihua was gossiping, Lu Jingqiu had no time to talk to her, and said, "Aunt Cuihua, the fish I just bought is still alive, I have to put it in the water quickly, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back."

Lu Jingqiu entered the yard and closed the door.
