Chapter 361 – The Lu Family in These Years

It was noon, and they hadn't gone far. They found a state-run restaurant nearby and sat down for a meal.

Once they were seated, Lu Qiu took the initiative to speak, "Second Sister, you didn't answer earlier. Have you been doing well these years?"

Lu Xia nodded, "I've been alright!"

Seeing her response, Lu Qiu hesitated for a moment and continued, "I heard you got married..."

Lu Xia smiled, "Indeed, I got married. My husband and I returned to the city together."

"I see!"

Without pressing further, Lu Qiu realized that Lu Xia didn't want to discuss it. However, she also understood that Lu Xia's husband wasn't the countryside person their family had thought. She could tell by Lu Xia's appearance that she was living well.

So, she began to voluntarily share about the Lu family's recent years.

"Mom and Dad have been doing alright these years. Dad is still working in the warehouse. However, because he's getting older, he slipped and fell while moving goods some time ago. Although it wasn't serious, the factory transferred him to the warehouse as a security guard to lighten his load. He has fewer responsibilities now, but he occasionally has to do night shifts.

Last year, when Lu Dong graduated from high school, in order to avoid going to the countryside, Mom gave him her job. So, he now works at the textile factory. But since textile work is primarily done by women, he got transferred to the warehouse for loading and unloading work, which brings him closer to Dad."

Lu Xia nodded, "What about you?"

Lu Qiu and Lu Dong were the same age, both turning 18 this year. Lu Dong took over their mother's job, and based on what Lu Qiu was implying, their father didn't assign her any work.

Seeing that Lu Qiu was doing well, she probably didn't end up in the countryside, right?

Lu Qiu smiled when she heard Lu Xia's question. "I didn't attend high school. After finishing middle school, I entered a vocational school. This is my final semester, and I'll be assigned a job after graduation."

Hearing this, Lu Xia was somewhat surprised and gave her a quick glance before nodding, "That's good."

And why wouldn't it be good? Just a few years ago, only those recommended by workers, farmers, or soldiers could attend university. Vocational schools were considered a significant educational achievement. Moreover, they were difficult to get into. Many people who couldn't enter vocational schools ended up attending high school. Furthermore, after graduating from vocational school, job assignments were guaranteed – it was a fantastic opportunity!

The original host had also wanted to take this path. She could have succeeded, but due to the conflict between Lu Chun and their parents, and because the family didn't know her grades and wasn't particularly inclined to let her study, she ultimately didn't attempt the exam. Instead, she accompanied Lu Chun to high school.

Never did she expect that Lu Qiu would quietly attend a vocational school. It had to be said that this sister of hers was truly extraordinary.

Lu Qiu smiled slightly in response to Lu Xia's exaggeration. Although she didn't say much, confidence gleamed in her eyes.

"It's alright. Actually, I wanted to attend a nursing school, but I didn't get in. I ended up in a teacher's college. After graduating, I'll probably become a teacher."

Lu Xia nodded, "That's good. Being a teacher is a relatively easy job."

Then Lu Qiu continued, "As for the eldest sister, she recently gave birth to her third child. All of them are girls. Since she couldn't have a son, she hasn't had a good time at her husband's family.
