The exam room was silent, except for the sound of chalk scratching across the blackboard and the tips of everyone's pens falling on the paper.

For Qi Shufang, who had already finished her university courses, the exam questions written on the blackboard were very simple, and she quickly finished the copied questions on the paper she was sent, but she did not hand in the papers in advance, but checked them again and again, and really checked out two mistakes caused by carelessness, so she did not leave the exam room until the end of the exam in the morning.

There are so many people!

In addition to people, they are all bloated because of wearing winter clothes, and their faces burst out with amazing eagerness, and some candidates may not have done well in the exam, squatting on the ground and crying.

Qi Shufang shook her head, walked out of the school, ate at a nearby state-run restaurant at noon, and continued the exam in the afternoon.

Because it is not an official college entrance examination, it was completed in one day.

Qi Shufang returned home, Professor Jin was teaching Qijin to practice calligraphy, and Ping'an was naughty, rubbing the ink on his face, and saw her figure appear at the door, holding a small brush dipped in ink and running over, her cheeks were red, "Mom, Mom, I can write!"

"Are we so safe, what can you write?Can you write it to me?" Qi Shufang put down her schoolbag with a smile, smiled at Granny Jin behind her, and followed up with a study room that was sorted out separately in the east wing.

There are a few pieces of paper on a domino bench next to the big case, and the top one has a lot of underworld roads drawn horizontally and vertically.

Qi Shufang said hello to Professor Jin, and saw Ping'an grab the piece of waste paper and throw it away, holding a small brush and drawing a horizontal bar on the clean paper below, which was long, almost dividing a piece of paper into two halves, "This is one." She tilted her face to Qi Shufang and said.

Qi Shufang touched her little head, "Ping An is so smart!"

Boasting that he was safe, he smiled, and continued to make a stroke, shouting in his mouth, and his voice was very long.

"Ping An will write one, write two for my mother, okay?" Qi Shufang encouraged, but saw Ping An lowered her head and continued to draw horizontal bars on the paper, and soon filled a piece of paper, although the two horizontal bars are a two, but she never combined the two words, it seems that she will only write one word.

As Qi Shufang smiled, Granny Jin also smiled, "Seeing Qijin practicing calligraphy with your teacher, she shouted to learn, and she remembered one after teaching for so long." She's still young, and she'll be able to learn a lot of words when she's older. ”

Ping An pouted and said, "Mom, you praise me, you praise me." ”

"Okay, good, our little peace is really amazing, so good! I can write, and I must be smarter than your brother when I grow up." Qi Shufang praised her without hesitation, bent down and pinched her little nose, "In order to reward Xiao Ping'an, can my mother make you a new padded jacket?"

In the past few days, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang have not bought much new clothes for themselves, but they are very willing to buy a pair of children, buy silk cotton if they can't buy cotton, mix the old and new to make cotton clothes, and buy silk and satin if they can't buy enough cotton cloth, anyway, wear it in their clothes and pants.

Ping An dropped the brush and clapped his hands vigorously, "Wear a new cotton jacket! Wear a new cotton jacket!"

Qi Shufang teased her daughter for a while, "Master, these two children are very naughty, don't you tire you, right?"

"Tired, what are you tired? Just Ping An likes to be trick-or-treating, seven catties are not naughty at all, but he is obedient, and he gives me and Lao Jin meat very intimately at noon. "Such a child, I can't help but dislike Granny Kim.

The Jin family is already broken, she and her wife are lonely, and the two children have brought them family happiness.

Granny Kim poured all her love for her deceased granddaughter into Ping'an.

That's right, although Granny Jin is also very good to Xiao Qijin, but the most painful thing is always Ping'an, if it weren't for Ping'an's young age and reluctance to leave her parents, I'm afraid that Granny Jin would have to sleep with Ping'an in her arms.

No mother is unhappy when others praise their children, Qi Shufang feels very confident in the children she has educated, 77 years is coming to an end, and it is only two or three years away from family planning, she and He Jianguo may only have these two children, of course, you must educate them well, let them be good children with good views, even if they don't have the ability, it doesn't matter, just don't cheat their fathers.

Sometimes, you can't talk too much, because things must be reversed, while waiting for the results of the preliminary examination, Qi Shufang suddenly felt very uncomfortable when she got up in the morning, and she was sick to her stomach and retched for a while.

He Jianguo was stunned for a moment and jumped up suddenly.

Looking at her like this, it looks like the situation in the early stages of pregnancy before!

"Shufang, are you pregnant again?" He Jianguo asked as he took the spittoon.

It's pregnant again, isn't it? Maybe it's a bad stomach. Qi Shufang was stunned for a moment, rinsed her mouth after retching, and took out a diary recording her menstrual period from the bedside table to find evidence that she was not necessarily pregnant.

Four days, four days later is the menstrual period.

He Jianguo disagreed: "What's the matter? Didn't you get out of the house less than a month before you were pregnant with seven pounds? Later, it was confirmed that the diagnosis of the master was correct, and it may be the same this time." You have a good rest first, I'll go cook, and after eating, let my wife check your pulse again, be careful recently, and I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up in a few days. ”

"Good. ”

As soon as He Jianguo came out of the hall, he saw Professor Jin and Granny Jin practicing the five poultry operas in the courtyard in high spirits, and the small figure next to them was the seven catties living in the room of the second elder, who insisted on practicing the five poultry operas since middle age, and it was interrupted during the catastrophe.

"Teacher, morning. Wife, early. ”

After the two elders and five birds finished practicing, He Jianguo stepped forward to say hello, and then asked Granny Jin to check Qi Shufang's pulse.

"Yo, really? I'll take a look, this is a happy event!" Hearing He Jianguo say that Qi Shufang retched badly, Granny Jin understood a little in her heart, "You only have two children, seven catties and Ping'an, it's still too little, while you're young, it's not bad to have two more children, anyway, we can't afford to raise them." ”

He Jianguo smiled and nodded, and soon thought that Qi Shufang had signed up for the college entrance examination and was preparing to go to college, and he was a little worried about her body.

Granny Jin took it seriously for ten minutes, and she couldn't get it in her heart, "The pulse is a bit similar, but it's too faint and not obvious, don't do any heavy work these days, wait a few days and take a look." ”

"That means it's very likely that she's pregnant?"

"It's hard to say, you haven't been here for a month, so you can't get it out. Granny Jin remembered the scene of taking her pulse for the first time, and couldn't help but smile, "This is the third child, and I'm not afraid of rejoicing in the future." In my experience, 30% of the time is likely to be pregnant, and 50% will be determined in a few days. ”

Qi Shufang put her hands on her lower abdomen, is she really pregnant again?

A smile appeared on her face, full of joy.

Although she is in the college entrance examination period, she does not complain that the child is not at the right time, she is physically strong, and going to school is much easier than work, there is nothing unacceptable, that is, when she was born, it was not a holiday, and she had to ask for leave for confinement. However, in front of the new life, everything else is a trivial matter, which is easy to solve, and it is a big deal to take a month or two off, anyway, she has already mastered the knowledge in college.

After cooking, he entered the hall to greet everyone to eat, and when he learned that it was possible to add Ding again, He Jianguo was overjoyed, and the two went out to work together.

"Okay, okay, it's not the first time, there's nothing to worry about. ”

Qi Shufang amusedly pushed him to leave quickly, walked to the unit by himself, and met his colleague Xiao Wang, who also signed up for the college entrance examination, "Comrade Shufang, the results of the preliminary examination are out, have you gone to see it?"

"Not yet. I don't know if the results are out, have you went?" Qi Shufang took a day off on the day of the first exam.

Xiao Wang nodded vigorously, "Congratulations, Comrade Shufang, you have passed the guò and can take the college entrance examination on the 23rd and 24th." I also know guò, thank you so much for your selfless dedication to the review materials, otherwise I would have been blinded when I saw the question. "It's a feeling from the bottom of my heart.

Qi Shufang waved her hand, "Everyone is a colleague and should help each other." ”

She took a leave of absence and went to the exam location to read the announcement.

The announcement was posted directly, and it was crowded with people, Qi Shufang thought that she was very likely to be pregnant, so she didn't squeeze forward, but directly let go of her mental power and looked over. There is no announcement of each person's results, and there is no ranking, only a list of candidates who pass the exam, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the same name and surname, there is an admission ticket number in front of the name.

Qi Shufang quickly found her name at a glance, and the admission ticket number was completely correct.

Tong guò is good, and Tong guò has the qualification to take the college entrance examination.

After reading her own, she scanned the list again and found that the names of Ou Mingxiang and He Shengnan were impressively listed, because she didn't know the admission ticket numbers of these two people, so she wasn't sure if it was the two of them.

Hey, no Jin Yufeng?

Qi Shufang watched it two or three times and had to give up looking for it, it seems that Jin Yufeng didn't get in.

He Jianguo cooked a good dish for her to celebrate in the evening, and after listening to Professor Jin's encouragement and then listening to her son's blessings to herself, she couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not too late for you to celebrate me when you are admitted to the university, now I just have the qualifications to take the college entrance examination." If others knew that we were complacent because of this result, they would definitely laugh at us behind our backs. ”

"How can outsiders know about our own family's affairs? This is the encouragement and blessing of your family. Professor Jin saw it all now, and did it according to his heart.

Qi Shufang smiled.

After a few days, the menstrual period did not come as scheduled, and the possibility of pregnancy increased to fifty percent, Granny Jin gave her a pulse, and felt that the pulse was a little more obvious than before, this change was very subtle, and if there was no experience, it would not be possible to find it at all.

"Ah, I have a little brother and a little sister. "Peace is very happy.

She is the youngest child of He's father, at home her brother calls her sister, back to her hometown, many people call her little sister, she doesn't have a little sister, she wants a little sister.

Granny Jin teased her: "An An, come, tell Granny Sù, how do you know it's a little sister? Maybe it's a little brother." If you are a little sister, your little sister will wear clothes to sleep in your cradle! You will be a sister in the future, you will be like a brother, you will give your little sister all the delicious food, and give the little sister some fun. ”

Ping'an's little mouth opened round, "Little sister is bad!"

"Bad?" Granny Jin and Qi Shufang looked at each other and smiled.

"Mine, not for little sister. Ping'an looked up at Qi Shufang, "Mom, I don't want to be a sister anymore, can you give me another little brother?" ”

Granny Jin and Qi Shufang smiled back and forth.

Professor Jin and Qijin heard their laughter in the courtyard and hurriedly asked what they were laughing at.

Granny Jin went out to tell them, they all laughed, Ping'an scratched their heads, not understanding what they were laughing at, but she knew that everyone must be laughing at herself, so she was so ashamed that she buried her little face on Qi Shufang's legs.

Qi Shufang looked at her daughter with a smile, her heart full of joy.

I have to have children again, and I have to get rid of the habit of spending a lot and raise three children, which is not a lot of expenses.

At that time, there is no need to spend money on food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, medical care, and so on? He Jianguo and he are state cadres, and he has no intention of going to the sea to do business after the reform and opening up.

Moreover, if the college entrance examination is smooth, if you enter the university as you wish, if you don't work, of course you won't have a salary, and you have to spend money, how can you rely on He Jianguo's salary alone?

Qi Shufang took out the passbook and family savings, there were 2,200 yuan in the passbook, and there were more than 200 left at home.

In the case that she and He Jianguo often buy things, it is really not easy to save this money.

Two thousand four hundred yuan, there is definitely no need to worry about the living expenses in the next four years, He Jianguo still has a salary of more than 100 yuan every month, and he may not need the money in the passbook, but he can't sit on the mountain, and he has lost his own salary, and he always feels that he is stretched, because he loves to buy antiques and wait for appreciation, and when she encounters antiques that will definitely appreciate, she can't control her desire to buy.

At this time, He Jianguo's friends quietly came to tell him at night that some people in power in the catastrophe had sealed a lot of things that had been copied from the four old days, and put them in a remote place, all of which were ownerless, and they wanted to dispose of some of them at a low price.

Four. Person. The gang had been crushed, and those people expected a bad prospect, so they had this idea.

They definitely can't get anything, but some of the money they get from processing it can go into their own pockets.

Under the introduction of this friend, He Jianguo and Professor Jin went over with their heads covered and their faces covered, picking and picking around the warehouse with flashlights, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that they pulled back a row full of books, calligraphy and paintings, and the basket on He Jianguo's back was also stuffed.

The teacher and student went out at night for three consecutive days and brought back a lot of things, spending a total of 400 yuan.

If this continues, no amount of money will be enough to spend.

Qi Shufang gritted her teeth and decided to wait until the gold price rose at its highest in 80 years, she had a lot of gold bars and gold ornaments in her hand, which were not worth mentioning compared to antiques, and she could at least exchange thousands of yuan for huàn.
