Chapter 259: Live And Learn Till The End
The Lu family members got up early to look at the house.
Do you like it?
The Lu family members liked it very much.
There were many rooms, the front yard was big, the backyard was even bigger, surrounded by courtyard walls, the inside of the house didn’t have heating, but it had a heated bed and heated walls, the ground was all cement, the bedroom had floorboards, there was also an indoor bathroom, and a separate sewage channel in the back.
There were five rooms for living, and the kitchen was also very big, big enough to eat inside.
If this house were in the family courtyard, Meng Xia felt she could wake up laughing even in her dreams.
But she immediately sobered up.
This was bought by her daughter, and there was also Qin Hengzhi’s money here.
Moreover, no matter how good it was, it was just like that; living in the family courtyard and outside couldn’t be compared at all.
It wasn’t a sense of superiority, but living in the military family courtyard and living in the North City Residential Area felt different.
Besides, going to work wouldn’t be convenient.
In short, her mood was very complicated, but more than that, it was pride.
Even if they didn’t live there, they were still very happy.
After looking at the house, Old Mrs. Lu didn’t stay, but she felt her granddaughter had good taste.
In the past, this kind of house was only for big landlords.
Locking the room door, Old Mrs. Lu glanced at the backyard, thinking that home didn’t lack vegetables anyway, and besides, it was too late to plant anything now; next year, she could plant all potatoes.
Then she thought she was overthinking again.
Where would she have the energy to take care of it, since she wouldn’t live here.
If she didn’t have the energy to take care of it, wouldn’t the left and right neighbors steal it all clean?
They might even take away the potato seedlings.
Forget it, next year’s matters would be dealt with next year.

On September 1st, school started, and the night school officially began classes.
The class times and schedules were all detailed by Shao Le, already written on big red paper and posted on the wall.
These days he had been busy with the night school, and now that classes had finally started, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Hu and Huang Juan also came, walking around front and back; Old Hu was very satisfied and praised Shao Le.
Shao Le spoke truthfully: “I have to thank Lu Qiaoge; this was all planned by her in advance, and I just executed according to her plan.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled slightly and said very sincerely: “The plan is one thing, execution is the most important. So Comrade Shao, you did really well!”
Then she looked at Old Hu and asked with a beaming smile: “Director Hu, do you want to come and study with us too? Don’t they say you should study until you’re old?”
Old Hu glared at Lu Qiaoge: “Go to class quickly.”
How old was he, still going to study; he already had presbyopia.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Shao Le; Shao Le originally wanted to run, as he didn’t like studying at all; his current education level was forced by his family.
But now he was responsible for the night school, so he had to go to class.
The two went to the beginner class.
This was starting from the first year of junior high.
Many people came to the night school to study; more than ten classrooms were all full.
Some people didn’t have seats and simply ran home to get little stools.
Basically everyone from the food factory and handicraft factory came.
Su Hui and Lu Zhiguo came together.
Lu Da and Meng Xia supported studying.
Now that schools had resumed, it proved that knowledge was still useful.
So they all felt the night school was good.
Lu Qiaoge thought the same; she even happily thought that in two years, these people would all thank her.
Of course, not everyone supported the night school, which was normal; as for sarcastic remarks behind the back, that was inevitable.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t take it to heart.
The next morning, Lu Qiaoge was preparing to help Sister Hua in the general office write a marriage certificate for a young couple who wanted to get married.
There was still some fruit candy on the table.
Judging by their clothes, these two people’s family conditions should be decent.
The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, the woman was petite and cute.
Lu Qiaoge had looked at their letter of introduction.
The man was a workshop worker named Song Jianfeng, the woman was a handyman in the supplies section, named Shi Xiangqin.
Lu Qiaoge found her very familiar; she and Shi Xiangqin were in the same class.
It was just that she sat in the very front, while Lu Qiaoge, being tall, sat in the back.
Lu Qiaoge took out a marriage certificate and placed it on the spotless table; the fountain pen was already filled with ink; her fountain pen was of good quality and didn’t leak, but she still checked it.
Whether marriage certificates or divorce certificates, they all needed to be treated cautiously.
But it had to be said that the divorce rate now was particularly low.
She wrote the most marriage certificates.
This also made her fountain pen look better and better.
The marriage certificates now still had black-and-white photos.
But they were all young people, so none looked bad.
Lu Qiaoge always wrote first and then pasted the photos.
Shi Xiangqin asked Lu Qiaoge shyly and softly: “Mediator Lu, I saw you last night; you were in the last row of the class, right?”
Lu Qiaoge looked up and smiled too: “Yes, so I found you familiar too; you were sitting in the front row, right?”
Shi Xiangqin nodded embarrassedly; she was short, so she sat in the front.
She thought for a moment and still asked Lu Qiaoge: “Will our Xiangyang Night School keep running?”
“Of course it will keep running; we’ll strive to let every comrade who comes to night school reach high school graduation level!” Lu Qiaoge said confidently.
Shi Xiangqin seemed relieved and said: “That’s really great; I must get a high school graduation certificate.”
With a high school graduation certificate, she could go to school to be a teacher.
Lu Qiaoge encouraged her: “As long as you attend classes, you’ll definitely get it.”
Shi Xiangqin blinked: “Then… can I sit with you tonight? I feel like you study better than me.”
No problem; Lu Qiaoge happily agreed.
At this time, Song Jianfeng, who had been standing by smiling and watching his fiancée talk to Lu Qiaoge, had the smile on his face gradually fade.
Remembering something, his face darkened, but this was the neighborhood committee’s general office, so he controlled his emotions and said softly to Shi Xiangqin: “We’re getting married soon; shouldn’t you prepare? Why go to night school? Do you really want to study?”
Lu Qiaoge’s hand, just about to write, suddenly stopped.
Glancing at the still blank marriage certificate, Lu Qiaoge began to put away the fountain pen.
She wiped the nib with rough paper, as if the fountain pen wasn’t working well.
Shi Xiangqin seemed like a very innocent young woman, not sensitive to thoughts.
She didn’t notice Song Jianfeng’s displeasure and said matter-of-factly: “Of course I’m going to study; I still need to get a high school graduation certificate.”
Song Jianfeng clenched his hand, then asked Lu Qiaoge: “Do you really issue high school graduation certificates? How long does it take?”
Lu Qiaoge said: “As long as you pass the exam, you’ll definitely get a nationally recognized high school graduation certificate; as for time, it definitely won’t be one or two days to complete the curriculum; we’re now studying first year of junior high curriculum, and under diligent study, it would take two years.”
This was already very fast.
Shi Xiangqin clenched her fist: “Then I’ll have to work hard; I’ll strive to graduate in two years.”
