Zhou Laiying was unhappy when she heard this. She had a son and a daughter, and her family members all had good jobs. Why should she let her niece go to Beijing? This person just saw that her second daughter had a promising future, so he was trying to sow discord between them.

Just when she was about to say something to that person, she was stopped by Hua Rendong. Hua Rendong smiled at her and said, "Aunt, what you said really hits the nail on the head. My company in Beijing City has given me a big yard with more than a dozen rooms for me to live in. I'm also thinking of bringing my uncle and aunt's family over to live with me. If my aunt is used to living in a building, we can move to a building and she can live wherever she likes. If you have nothing to do, please help me persuade my aunt to agree to go to Beijing City with me!"

When the man heard this, he didn't know whether Hua Rendong's words were true or false, but he became even more jealous. He just said to Zhou Laiying awkwardly: "Laiying, your niece has said so much, why don't you go to Beijing City with her to enjoy life?"

Zhou Laiying curled her lips, "I would like to go and enjoy life with her. It's not a problem for Dahua and Erhua to love the party. At most, we can go to Beijing and let Erhua help find a job. But my eldest brother is serving in the army in Jilin Province. We have moved away, and it will be even farther for him to go home. Jianshe is also the backbone of the factory. If he leaves, what will happen to the machinery factory? Who will the many factories in the city turn to when they encounter parts that cannot be produced? Let your Dazhuang take over?"

The man waved his hands hurriedly, "My Dazhuang is not good enough. How can he have the ability to build yours?"

Zhou Laiying sighed, "Isn't that the truth? We have reported Jianshe to the higher-ups several times, but what can we do if the leaders won't let him go? In order to keep Jianshe, they even said they would give him a raise. Well, Beijing is a good place, who wouldn't want to go there? But the factory requires Jianshe to bring his apprentice to the seventh-level worker level before they will let him go. Although it's one level lower, it's enough to get by. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, we still have to go back and see what Erhua brought home!"

After saying that, he took Hua Rendong's hand and walked upstairs carrying a bag of Liubiju pickles, leaving behind a group of envious people who were all talking about what Hua Rendong had brought back in the car.

One person said, "I saw a lot of cans with foreign words written on them. Maybe they bought them from the Friendship Store. I heard that you don't need tickets to buy things there, you have to use foreign exchange coupons, and everyone who works there has to speak foreign languages. Ordinary people can't even enter, let alone buy things there."

"I was thinking about the woolen coat that Dahua picked up just now. There's a flower hanging on it. It looks really nice. We haven't seen it here before. It must have been bought at the Friendship Store."

"Hey, otherwise why do they say that the Hua family's niece has become successful, and the entire Hua family has also become successful."

"The Hua family has been successful for a long time. Hua Jianshe is an eighth-level worker. How many eighth-level workers are there in the entire Xinshi? How can the child he raised be bad?"

"What you said is ridiculous. No matter how great Hua Jianshe is, why aren't his children as promising as his niece? It must be that Erhua takes after her biological father."

"How come he has no future? Hua Aiguo joined the army, and he has become a company commander in just a few years? Hua Dahua graduated from high school, and Hua Xiaohua was also admitted to high school. Hua Aidang is young, and I heard that he always ranks first in the class. Just wait and see, there will be more people in this family who will have a bright future than just Hua Erhua. Maybe these children will be more promising than Hua Jianshe in the future."

Everyone around nodded secretly after hearing these words. In the past, the two brothers of the Hua family had both grown up from poor children and now lived in one of the best conditions in Zhou County.

Now that Hua Erhua has become prosperous in Beijing, how can she not help her brothers and sisters? In the future, the children of the Hua family will only get better and better.

For a time, those families who had originally had ideas about the Hua family's children all wanted to seize the opportunity. Even if they did not have children of the right age, if they could find a relative to marry into the Hua family, they could also benefit from it.

The eldest son of the Hua family, who is a company commander, is already in his twenties and has not yet found a partner. When he heard that he would be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year, he hurried to make arrangements.

Although Zhou Laiying didn't hear what the people downstairs were planning, she could guess what they were planning. While unwrapping the gifts that Hua Rendong brought back, she warned her children, "Dahua, even though you'll be twenty after the Chinese New Year, we're not in a hurry to get married. We can date the right person first. If you dare bring me someone who's inferior to ours in every way, don't blame me for kicking you out!"

Hua Dahua came over and hugged Zhou Laiying's arm, "Mom, what are you talking about? Am I a brainless person? Just tell Xiaohua this!"

Hua Xiaohua also expressed her opinion, "Mom, I am now focused on studying. After graduation, I want to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I don't have the heart to think about those things."

"My little girl has a plan in mind. As long as you are willing to study, your father will get you a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."

Before, she had always thought that her younger daughter was not very smart and that it would be good enough if she could just graduate from junior high school. Unexpectedly, she not only got into high school, but also devoted herself to study after entering high school. This semester, her test scores were among the top in the class, which made Zhou Laiying feel even more proud, as if this girl had suddenly become smart.

After saying that, he looked at Hua Dahua and Hua Rendong and asked, "What do you two think? Do you want to go to college?"

Hua Rendong had always been a top student in her previous life, so she had no regrets and had no obsession with going to college. But Hua Dahua hesitated. She had always had good grades, and she would definitely regret not going to college. If she could have a good job, who would want to be a factory worker?

Just when she was about to ask Hua Jianshe to see if he could get her a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, she heard Hua Rendong say, "Big sister, there's no rush. You should work hard in the factory for the next two years. When you have time, pick up your books and study hard. The policy may change in a few years. The places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University may look good now, but they are not as good as those in a regular university that you can get into based on your own abilities."

Hua Dahua's eyes lit up, "Erhua, do you mean that we can resume the college entrance examination in the future?"

"Who can say for sure? Anyway, I heard some rumors." Hua Rendong smiled mysteriously. Of course, she couldn't say that the good news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would be available in more than two years. She could only give a little hint.

Hua Jianshe, who had been smiling and silent, spoke up, "Erhua is in Beijing now. She must have heard something. She asked you to wait, so you just wait. Anyway, she won't let you suffer any loss. Don't tell anyone about this!"

Hua Dahua nodded repeatedly, not even bothering to unpack the things Hua Rendong brought back. She ran back to her room and dragged out all the books that she had put away after graduation last year and had not been willing to sell even when moving from under the bed. She picked out the textbooks and began to carefully wipe them one by one.

Zhou Laiying then looked at her youngest son who was eating a bag of mung bean cake. Hua Ai Dang raised her hand and said, "Mom, I promise to bring him back to you before I find a partner!"

Zhou Laiying rolled her eyes. "You're still young, and you still want to find a partner? If you dare to bring him back to me, I'll break your legs!"

"Hey, hey, don't look for it, don't look for it. Just listen to your mother." After saying that, Hua Aidang stuck out his tongue at Hua Honeysuckle, making Hua Honeysuckle laugh.
