Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

Before Zhou Kai could think it through, a member rushed in anxiously, "President, Vice President, something bad has happened! The student council president is looking for you, along with the dean of students and the counselor."

Zhou Kai was sweating profusely with anxiety, while Jia Pengxuan looked ashen-faced.

The two arrived at the third floor of the event building.

Zhao Qingyue and several teachers were inside, and the E-newspaper was still on the table.

Faced with the sharp gazes of the crowd, Jia Pengxuan had lost the arrogance and disdain he had shown in front of Lin Qin, leaving only a deep sense of panic and unease.

Zhao Qingyue had only asked two questions when Jia Pengxuan confessed about Li Xiaomei.

“Teacher, president, it was Li Xiaomei who cried to me about being bullied by freshmen. She said that the freshmen beat her up in public. I think campus violence has a bad influence, so I wrote a report for her.”

Jia Pengxuan portrayed himself as as innocent as possible.

Zhao Qingyue snorted coldly, "This matter has already alarmed the school leaders. The school has not punished those six freshmen. What gives you the right to criticize them without investigating the matter thoroughly? Who gave you that right?"
Jia Pengxuan, the fact that you were able to become the deputy director of the news agency shows that you're not a fool. I don't believe you didn't have some ulterior motives. If you ask me, you just thought that the other person was easy to bully, but you didn't expect to run into a brick wall.

The current situation is that you targeted them first and made false reports, which seriously affected their reputation. They have the strength to refute you, with reason and evidence, and are willing to confront you in public!
If you are truly upright and believe you have done nothing wrong, then confront them publicly. Otherwise, apologize to them in front of the entire school, admit your mistakes, and resign from the news agency.

Jia Pengxuan panicked completely and cried, begging for forgiveness, "Teacher, president, I really know I was wrong. I will apologize to them and ask for their forgiveness. Please give me another chance."

Zhao Qingyue remained silent, handing over the reins to the teachers.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaomei, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was called to the teaching building by Director Ye during class and given a severe scolding.

Together with Jia Pengxuan, she apologized to Du Juanhua and Lin Qin in front of the entire school and wrote a self-criticism. It can be said that she lost all face and dignity.

Li Xiaomei was also forced to leave the Ancient Poetry Society.

Dormitory 301 has made a remarkable comeback, and E-Society has gained immense popularity. The first issue of their newspaper became a bestseller, and freshman Lin Qin has become famous at the Teachers' College.

For a whole week, everyone stayed up all day, busy printing newspapers in the activity room instead of taking a nap at noon.

With six people simply not enough to handle the workload, Lin Qin had no choice but to recruit more staff from outside.

As soon as the announcement was posted, a bunch of people came to sign up, all of them freshmen.

Lin Qin and Ge Qiuyue were in charge of the interviews and eventually recruited ten new members, freeing up the six of them.

Lin Qin achieved a partial victory and became increasingly motivated, working diligently on the second issue of the newspaper.

Before we knew it, it was the end of September, time for the rehearsals of the National Day Gala.

When Bai Junjun came out carrying a pipa and wearing an ancient lady's long dress, everyone was amazed.

Zhou Xue exclaimed excitedly, "You wait, I'll borrow a general's uniform later. You play the zither, and I'll perform a sword dance for you."

"Really?" Bai Junjun was incredibly excited.

Lin Qin clapped her hands vigorously, "Good, good, good! I want to see!"

Ge Qiuyue chuckled and teased, "Xiaoxue can even wield a sword? Don't hurt yourself."

When everyone moved to the playground and witnessed Zhou Xue performing a set of martial arts moves with a stick, they were all stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Zhang Hong murmured, "No wonder Xiaoxue was able to hold off three or four women all by herself that day, she turns out she's a martial arts master!"

"Great hero, please accept my bow!" Bai Junjun knelt down on one knee, holding her pipa.

Zhou Xue stepped forward and lifted Bai Junjun's chin, "Beauty, please rise quickly, how about I repay you with my body?"

Everyone got goosebumps and felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. Putting everything else aside, the pipa performance with the added sword dance was indeed much more spectacular.

So Bai Junjun and Zhou Xue discussed it and changed the program at the last minute.

On the day of the performance.

Lin Qin specially invited her family members, including the elderly and children, as well as Chen Wenjun, to the school.

It was Chen Wenjun's first time entering university, and everything was new and exciting. Fortunately, he had experienced many ups and downs, so apart from curiosity, he wasn't timid at all.

After settling Lin Yi and Huang Yuezhen in, Lin Qin took Chen Wenjun and the children to meet their roommates.

Except for Ge Qiuyue, everyone else shouted in unison, "Brother-in-law!"

Chen Wenjun smiled gently, held his youngest son, exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone, and then sat down with the children.

Zhang Hong whispered to Ge Qiuyue, "Sister Ge, Sister Qin's boyfriend is just as family-oriented as yours. He's clearly a good man. They look so well-matched."

Ge Qiuyue wholeheartedly agreed and said in a low voice, "I just saw it. Qinmei wanted her to hold her youngest son, but her boyfriend said that his mother couldn't hold him and just took the child away. You guys, when you look for a man in the future, you should look for someone who is family-oriented and considerate. Don't just look at his face. There's no shortage of good-looking but worthless people in this world."

Zhang Hong and Du Juanhua nodded in unison, keeping Ge Qiuyue's words in mind.

Du Juanhua, in particular, was completely captivated by Wang Xinyuan's appearance. She never expected that such a handsome man would be so irresponsible and cause so much trouble for no reason.

Listening to her roommates' chatter, Lin Qin smiled slightly and said to Chen Wenjun reproachfully, "Listen, they're all praising you!"

Chen Wenjun smiled and hugged his chubby youngest son tightly. "That's only because of you that you praised me. If you get along well, you can invite them to our house for the weekend. I'm busy during the week and don't have much time to spend with you."

Lin Qin blushed slightly. "You're busy, and so am I. Now that E-Society has been established, they're all part of the club. They have to help publish the newspaper on weekends. Where would they find the time? Let's wait until the winter or summer vacation."

Chen Wenjun responded, just as the performance was about to begin, and everyone's attention was drawn to the stage.

Lin Qin never had the chance to properly appreciate such a performance in her previous life; she had only seen it on television. Being in this kind of setting in person felt completely different.

The pipa and sword dance performed by Bai Junjun and Zhou Xue was particularly breathtaking.

The performance ended and everyone was still in a daze for a long time, followed by thunderous applause that resounded throughout the audience.

Lin Qin exclaimed excitedly, "We must throw a celebration banquet for Junjun and Xiaoxue when we get back! It was absolutely amazing!"

Ge Qiuyue and the other two nodded in unison.

It was already 10 p.m. when the show ended.

It's already autumn now, and the weather is getting cool.

Chen Wenjun and Lin Yi drove everyone back in their diesel tricycle.

Lin Qin said goodbye to her roommates.

"Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and I have to go home. What are your plans? Does anyone else want to go back?"

Ge Qiuyue nodded. "I'm taking the first bus tomorrow morning. I'm going back to see my boyfriend and the kids."

Bai Junjun: "My home is in Anshi, so I definitely have to go home. I'll probably go out and have some fun!"

Zhou Xue: "I want to go home too."

Only Zhang Hong and the azalea remained. (End of Chapter)
