Beautiful Mother Raising Cubs in the 1970s

As soon as the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, everyone would definitely discuss this topic whenever they got together.

Even a formal unit like the Air Force Academy has sparked a wave of discussion, with the topic of the college entrance examination being discussed almost every day.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to see the country resume the college entrance examination in my lifetime. I'm sure many people will take part in it."

"It feels like a dream. If it weren't for the news being broadcast every day on the radio, I wouldn't have believed it was real."

"Then why don't you sign up and give it a try? I heard that anyone under 40 can take the exam, and there is no educational requirement."

"Then I have to go. My brothers and sisters in my hometown are ready to sign up, and there are also many soldiers from the army and navy next door who are ready to join."

Wen Nuan knew the news earlier than them.

After all, Commander Lu was there, and he knew the inside information a long time ago. But to be precise, Wen Nuan knew it even earlier than this.

After learning the news from Commander Lu, Wen Nuan also called Gu Qinglan in North City, reminding her to remember to review well.

Gu Qinglan passed the medical qualification exam last year and is now a doctor.

But learning never ends. Although Li Yunhua and Mr. Zhao impart knowledge to me, a diploma is also very important.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Nuan wanted her to apply for the exam together, so that it would not be too late for her to consider employment after she finished college.

If possible, it would be best to stay in Beijing, after all, there are first-class hospitals in the country here.

Wen Nuan had just returned from the courtyard to the Air Force compound when Le Le rushed out of the house. After seeing Wen Nuan, he said, "Mom, please take care of your two sons. They are playing my piano again!"

During the winter vacation last year, Gu Wanyue and Cai Siling joined a music group together. Lele learned piano and Cai Siling learned violin.

After Commander Lu found out, he got a piano for Lele and placed it on the first floor of the small building.

Gu Qinghan's transfer order came down at the beginning of the year, and the house assigned to them by the army was also a small courtyard with its own entrance, but the area was not as large as Commander Lu's.

But there is still enough space for a piano. Because it is placed in the hall, Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou often bump into the piano.

Gu Wanyue, who is already over six years old, has grown a lot and started primary school in September.

Now her awareness of property rights has gradually become stronger, and she doesn't like her two younger brothers touching her things casually.

Especially her favorite piano.

Wen Nuan rubbed her daughter's head and asked with a smile: "They don't even listen to you, their elder sister? I'll talk to them when I get back."

Baobao and Zhouzhou are both the kind of people who know how to cook according to the person they are serving.

Gu Qinghan was a serious person by nature. Apart from Lele, many other children in the family compound were actually a little scared when they saw him.

Gu Qinghan was even stricter with his two sons. Baobao and Zhouzhou were both afraid of him.

Sometimes Gu Qinghan didn't even need to scold them, just a look from them would make them behave themselves.

Moreover, Baobao and Zhouzhou are also afraid of their sister Lele.

If they were naughty, Lele would really beat them up, without any courtesy or mercy.

So Lele, the older sister, is still at the top of the food chain compared to her younger brother.

Lele pouted and said angrily, "I was about to beat them up, but Grandpa Zhao stopped me."

Wen Nuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Then you don't have to make any moves. Let's talk it out nicely. How about when your father comes back from his mission, we can see if we can move the piano to your room."

Otherwise, it is not a solution for these siblings to complain to each other all day long...

Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou often complained that Le Le's piano playing disturbed them from watching TV...

Lele hugged the warm arms and nodded: "Okay, then when Dad comes back, we will move the piano to my room."

"Mom is still the best to me!"

Wen Nuan pinched her little face and said, "You are just sweet-talking!"

As soon as Wen Nuan and Le Le entered the house, Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou rushed over and asked, "Mom, where have you been? Why did you take so long?"

My two younger brothers are now just two years old. They run in a hurry and often bump into things in the house.

Fortunately, Brother Baobao’s personality is similar to Lele’s, and he is relatively calm.

Zhou Zhou is not so good. If she hadn't had her sister Lele to keep her in check, she would have probably done a lot of bad things.

Wen Nuan saw that they were sweating in the autumn, so she took a handkerchief to wipe their sweat and said, "Mom went to the courtyard. Did you practice calligraphy today?"

This was the homework that Wen Nuan assigned to them before they went out. If they didn't complete it, they would be criticized.

Of course, there are rewards if you complete it.

Lele immediately raised his hand and said, "Mom, I've finished writing."

Lele has been in kindergarten for several years and is now in primary school. He is definitely more self-disciplined than his two younger brothers.

Then Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou also shouted: "Mom, we have finished writing too."

Wen Nuan walked over to the dining table and took a look. Although some writing was done, it was not very good, especially the ones about Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou, which were just done casually.

But the attitude is ok.

"Okay, then I'll buy you some popsicles." Wen Nuan took out money from her pocket and gave them three cents each.

This was what she promised the children before she went out, that she would buy them popsicles if they finished their homework.

After the children took the money, they ran out directly and Uncle Zhao couldn't stop them even if he shouted.

*

"Don't worry about them." Wen Nuan also walked into the kitchen and asked Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, what should we cook tonight? I'll do it."

If Commander Lu was there, they would basically go to Commander Lu's place for dinner.

If Commander Lu goes out, Uncle Zhao will help cook here.

Mother Chen went back to take care of her grandson during the Chinese New Year last year, and now the child is being looked after by Wen Nuan.

However, Baobao and Zhouzhou are also two years old and can take care of many things by themselves, but they feel a little too young to go to kindergarten.

It happens that today is the weekend and all the children are at home.

Uncle Zhao saw Wen Nuan picking some vegetables, so he asked curiously, "Xiao Nuan, isn't the college entrance examination going to be resumed? Are you going to take it?"

Uncle Zhao didn’t know what books Wen Nuan had read, but in his impression, Wen Nuan was a smart girl.

Now, whether outside or in the army, there is a trend of taking the college entrance examination, and many people are planning to give it a try.

But there are several children in the family, and I don’t know whether Wen Nuan will take the exam.

Wen Nuan responded readily, "Take the exam. The country has given us such a good opportunity, so why not take it? Anyway, there are no restrictions on identity or academic qualifications. As long as you want to take the exam, you can give it a try."

Wen Nuan asked jokingly: "Uncle Zhao, are you interested in giving it a try?"

Uncle Zhao laughed cheerfully and said, "Farewell, farewell. Why should an old man like me join in the fun? I should make way for the young people. Otherwise, how can the wheel of history keep rolling forward?"

Uncle Zhao knew that Wen Nuan was just joking. After all, there was an age limit for applying.

However, at his age, when his eyesight is beginning to blur, he can still take the exam, but he doesn't have to compete with young people for such an important opportunity.

Now there is such an opportunity, which should be given to this group of young people to create brilliance for the motherland.

Uncle Zhao remembered that Wen Nuan was raising the child alone, so he asked, "Xiao Nuan, if you are going to take the college entrance examination, what will happen to the other children?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure appeared outside the door and asked, "What about the child?"

Wen Nuan heard the man's voice, turned around to look at Gu Qinghan, and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Gu, you're back?"

Half a month ago, Gu Qinghan went to the south on a mission. After not seeing him for a long time, Wen Nuan felt that she missed this man a little.

Gu Qinghan hung his military cap and coat on the hanger, looked at Wen Nuan quietly, and said to Uncle Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, Commander Lu is back too. Let's go over there for dinner tonight."

Uncle Zhao hadn't seen his chief for more than half a month, so he said, "Okay, then Xiao Nuan, Chief of Staff Gu, you guys go to the chief's place for dinner later. I'll go back and prepare now."

Uncle Zhao just washed his hands, and the children came back with the popsicles they bought.

However, when they saw Gu Qinghan coming back, they all hid their popsicles behind them, as if he was very fierce.

Zhou Zhou looked at Gu Qinghan and asked, "Dad, why are you back?"

Gu Qinghan frowned, bent his finger and flicked his forehead, dissatisfied: "I am your father, do I have to report to you when I come back?"

Zhou Zhou has always bullied the good and feared the evil. He was in so much pain that he covered his forehead repeatedly and walked back behind Lele.

She cried pitifully, "Sister, Daddy bullies me."

Children still understand the principle that one thing can conquer another.

If looking for their sister doesn’t work, then they can look for their ultimate weapon - their mother.

As long as mom speaks, dad will always listen.

If you make your mother angry, you have to coax her well.

Lele sighed, then walked towards Gu Qinghan and said, "Dad, I bought some popsicles, do you want some?"

Gu Qinghan felt better. He reached out and touched the child's head. He smiled slightly and said, "No more eating. You can go to Great Grandpa's place with Grandpa Zhao. Great Grandpa brought you a lot of delicious food."

Lele's eyes lit up, and then he asked with a smile: "So what did you buy for us, Dad?"

Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, paused for a moment, and then said, "Take the toys over to great-grandfather's place to play with them together."

"That's great, I love you, Dad!"

Lele even forgot to eat the popsicle. The first thing he did was to look for Gu Qinghan's luggage bag. Sure enough, he saw a few toys.

Lele picked up his doll and ran out. Uncle Zhao hadn't left yet.

Baobao and Zhouzhou looked at their sister's smiling face and instantly felt sorry for themselves for being so stupid with their words!

However, after seeing their sister get the toys, they followed suit and directly took the toys from Gu Qinghan's luggage bag and ran out.

Uncle Zhao had no choice but to catch up quickly, calling their names all the way.

As soon as the child left, Wen Nuan glanced at him and scolded, "Gu Qinghan, you just bully your two sons."

Gu Qinghan looked calm, "It's his fault for being so disrespectful. I'll just not beat him up."

Wen Nuan frowned upon hearing this and said, "Just talk to them nicely, they will understand. You are so mean, you are arguing with a child."

If they had not reached a consensus before that the other party would not interfere in the education of the child, Wen Nuan would have scolded him just now.

Fortunately, the child is not at the age where he likes to cry. With food and fun, he completely forgot about what happened before.

Gu Qinghan saw the child and Uncle Zhao walk out of the yard, then he stretched out his body, picked up Wen Nuan, and walked towards their master bedroom on the second floor.

Wen Nuan pinched him and said unhappily, "I knew you were trying to get them out of here on purpose!"

Yes, I haven't seen you for half a month and I miss you so much.

Gu Qinghan didn't respond. After walking into the room, he locked the door with his foot. Suddenly, they were the only two left in the world.

After he carried Wen Nuan to the **, he found that there were several books on the ** and the desk next to it. The pages of the opened books were densely covered with notes. It was obvious that Wen Nuan had written them because he had recently been on a mission.

Wen Nuan originally wanted to clean up the things by herself, but Gu Qinghan had already picked up the math book, and after taking a look at it, he raised his eyebrows.

Wen Nuan reached out and took the book back. Although it was not a diary, she still felt a little embarrassed.

The handwriting was very sloppy, and there was a cartoon image she drew while she was absent-minded on it.

Gu Qinghan suppressed his anger, leaned over to glance at her, and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to take the college entrance examination?"

This book is a bit old. It is obvious that I have not read it in the last few months. It has been at least a year and a half.

But they slept together every day, and Wen Nuan never took these books out of the room.

It seems that I only review when he is not at home.

Wen Nuan was lying flat on the bed with her feet hanging over the edge. She felt a little guilty when she suddenly met Gu Qinghan's dark and deep eyes.

But there was no need to lie between husband and wife, and it was not her style, so she said softly, "Well, Qinglan and I are both ready to participate."

Then Wen Nuan asked softly: "Qing Han, will you support me?"

In fact, Wen Nuan felt that this question was a bit redundant. In all the years they had been together, there had never been a situation where Gu Qinghan did not support her.

It was just about the college entrance examination that she didn't tell me in advance.

The two looked at each other, and Gu Qinghan's eyes became even deeper.

He lowered his head to look at Wen Nuan. Because she was lying flat on her back, her thick black hair was scattered on the pillow, making her small face look even whiter.

Maybe because she was still a little nervous, a huge blush appeared on her face, so pink that people couldn't help but want to bite it.

Gu Qinghan did the same, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you have time to review?"

Just as Wen Nuan was about to speak, Gu Qinghan spoke bluntly: "I know that for more than a year, you have been looking for customers for the kitchen team's factory, and sometimes you go to the station to help receive and inspect goods. Now that Aunt Chen has gone back to take care of her grandchildren, you have to balance study and family, and even have to work a little. Are you sure your body can bear it?"

It’s not that Gu Qinghan doesn’t support her. As long as Wen Nuan likes someone, he will send her there even if she wants.

But he has participated in the growth of several children and knows how difficult it is to raise children.

I also know that Wen Nuan is very ambitious and has been receiving dividends from the factory over the years. She probably doesn't want to take the money for nothing, so she has been acting as the middleman.

Moreover, Wen Nuan is extremely responsible towards her children. She takes time every day to read and write with them, and also to play with them.

If Wen Nuan takes the college entrance examination, can she cope with it

Wen Nuan looked at the other person and nodded firmly: "Qing Han, I promise you, I can do it."

Gu Qinghan rubbed his brows, looked at her, and demanded, "You know I won't stop you, but you have to put some things aside first. I don't want you to be too tired."

Gu Qinghan’s wish was simple. He just wanted warmth and for his child to be safe and healthy and to stay by his side.

As for money and status, they are really not that important to him.

Even now, he is the chief of staff of the command, and it is not difficult for him to make the children and Wen Nuan live a better life.

But he knew that Wen Nuan was not the kind of person who was content to stay at home. She had her own thoughts and ideas, and she also had a blueprint for the future.

He didn't want to trap her in the cage of marriage.

Even if she is trapped, one day she will find a way out and fly into the sky.

Therefore, instead of obstructing her, it is better to help her solve the problem at hand.

Wen Nuan was actually a little nervous when she was questioned by Gu Qinghan just now, but when she heard what Gu Qinghan said, she felt relieved.

Wen Nuan said, "Let me think about it."

But after being silent for a while, she still couldn't decide which one to let go of first

She couldn't bear to leave her child. Lele was raised by her and had never left her since childhood.

My two sons are not yet old enough to go to kindergarten, so I can't leave either of them behind.

I really can't bear to do that.

As for work, it was even more difficult. The quartermaster relied on her to develop the market in Beijing. Over the past year or so, he had found several large factory canteens and ordered a lot of things from them.

Now she is the middleman, and there is no one else in Beijing who can be responsible for this matter except her.

Wen Nuan was silent for a long time, still unable to make a decision. She bit her lip and looked at Gu Qinghan: "Qinghan, you know I don't have to give up anything, I can still get into university."

There are only two months left until the college entrance examination, just two months.

Relying on the knowledge she had accumulated in the past and the review over the past year, the college entrance examination was not a difficult task for her.

It's just the difference between getting into a good university and an ordinary university.

Just so confident!

Otherwise, I would feel ashamed of my alma mater and would not be able to bring shame to this person.

After saying that, Gu Qinghan refused directly: "No, everything has to be based on your health. Think about it carefully."

Gu Qinghan also lay flat on the bed next to Wen Nuan, with his head on his arm and the other arm on his forehead. He looked at the top of the mosquito net and said, "Besides, you can't review well with the children at home. Even if you can review, you will be disturbed and interrupted by them. See if you want to hand over the work to Comrade Chen Meijiao, or I can arrange for someone to take over."

These are unavoidable. As long as the children are around, they will jump around all day and call for their moms more frequently than the soldiers patrolling outside shout slogans.

In this case, how can Wen Nuan review

Wen Nuan looked at her husband, her dark eyes filled with tears, and she was already a little anxious.

She glanced at Gu Qinghan's handsome face and asked, "So what do you think we should do? How about sending all the children to kindergarten?"

Anyway, the military kindergartens these days don't discriminate by age, you can send your children to kindergarten at any age.

But Wen Nuan just couldn’t bear to do so, otherwise she would have given her a bag and zhou zhou in September.

I’m just worried that they are too young and can’t take care of themselves.

Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, "If you really want to participate, then you should concentrate on reviewing and leave the rest to me."

Then, Gu Qinghan said, "You can go back to the courtyard to review. The place is big, and there is a small canteen in the teahouse outside the alley. It is convenient for life, so you can review with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about the child. I will ask Uncle Zhao to find an aunt to come and take care of the child. I will apply for not going out for the next two months. As for the factory, I will ask Xiao Zhang to arrange a reliable person to take over."

Gu Qinghan met Wen Nuan's watery eyes and encouraged her, "Comrade Wen Nuan, since you have decided to take the college entrance examination, you should concentrate on reviewing during this period of time. Don't worry about other things. Your husband is your backup."

When Wen Nuan heard this, her eyes became wet. She couldn't help but turn over and rush to Gu Qinghan, saying excitedly: "Qinghan, how can you be so nice?"

The luckiest thing that happened to me after traveling through this era was meeting this man.

He would not be like other men who wanted to lock her up at home. He also fully respected and supported her. As he said, he would always have her back.

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but smile and pecked her on the cheek: "You too, are the best gift God has given me."

"You too." Wen Nuan lay on Gu Qinghan, kissed him hard on the lips, and said, "Qinghan, I'm really glad to have met you."

The smile on Gu Qinghan's face gradually became more obvious, and he said calmly: "Me too."

It was she who changed his life and brought him sunshine.

Having been married for many years, Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan had never mentioned the word "love" on their lips, but Wen Nuan blurted out at that moment: "Gu Qinghan, I love you, I will not leave you."

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan turned over and pressed her down on the bed. He looked at her seriously and said in a hoarse voice, "Wen Nuan, I love you too."

"If there is a next life, I still want to be with you."

Wen Nuan nodded: "Okay."

No matter which time and space we go to, I will marry you.

Their breaths intertwined, their skin, which had not been close for half a month, hugged each other tightly like a severely dehydrated desert.

&

After the two of them discussed it, they began to make arrangements.

They first met a few aunts, and finally, with the introduction of Aunt Chen, they invited one of her cousins, who was from a rural area near Beijing. She was honest and simple, and worked efficiently.

Her main responsibility is to pick up and drop off the children from school.

When Commander Lu learned that Wen Nuan was going to take the college entrance examination, he naturally gave her his full support and originally planned to let her go to his small building to review.

However, considering that they were in the same compound, Lele, Baobao and Zhouzhou were already familiar with the place and would not disturb Wen Nuan, so they decided to stay in the courtyard.

After some consideration, the couple decided to send Baobao and Zhouzhou to kindergarten first, because boys are still a little naughty after all, and they had made a lot of friends in the compound, so it was not difficult for them to accept going to school together.

But Chen's mother was a little worried. Knowing that her child had to go to school so early, she said, "Why don't I take Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou back to our home? Such a young child will definitely not be able to adapt to school life."

Wen Nuan knew that Chen's mother was worried about her children, but she still refused: "Don't worry, Chen's mother, Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou are very happy. They have started kindergarten for two days and they both say it is fun."

Mother Chen had to take care of the newborn, and Baobao and Zhouzhou were beginning to become active at that age, so she definitely couldn't let them disturb the babies.

Uncle Zhao said, "I'm here, don't worry."

Wen Nuan: "Mother Chen, if it's convenient for you, you can bring your children to the compound often to play with them."

Mother Chen nodded. There was nothing that could be done about it.

Moreover, the time for this college entrance examination is very tight, there are only two months, so Wen Nuan will have time after she finishes her work.

But then I thought, what if Wen Nuan got into a university, or a university in another city

Mother Chen became conflicted again.

However, Wen Nuan did not think so much. After arranging the children's affairs, she packed some simple things and review materials and prepared to go to Siheyuan.

On the day of departure, several children cried.

Wen Nuan hugged them and said, "Mom is going back to the courtyard to study. Just like you, Mom also has to go to class and study. When you are on vacation, you can go over and play with Mom. I am not leaving you."

Lele's tears fell the most, "Mom, please don't leave. I don't want Mom to leave."

I don’t even want Gu Qinghan to hug me.

Wen Nuan hugged her and said, "Le Le, don't you have to go to the music group with Si Ling every week? Then you can go find your mother. Your mother is not gone. She is just like you, studying and going to class."

Lele also has piano lessons every week. It is a music group hired by Commander Lu. They have the best pianists in Beijing and she has to go to class every week.

It’s near Daqianmen, so it’s not completely gone.

If you go to a courtyard house, there will be less interference.

It took about half a day for Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan to take turns to coax the child, and finally they decided to let the child go to the courtyard house. They would feel at ease only after seeing that Wen Nuan was really going to live there.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Wen Nuan saw a figure whom she hadn't seen for more than a year. When the figure saw their family coming, he stretched out his arms and ran over excitedly.

"Sister-in-law, brother!"

“LeLe!”

"Bao Bao, Zhou Zhou, auntie missed you so much!"

Lele was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Qinglan, but he quickly rushed forward and said, "Aunt, I miss you too."

Gu Qinglan dropped the luggage in her hand, picked up the little guy and flew into the air, saying, "Aunt misses Lele so much, why has our Lele become so thin? Where is your perfect and cute big face?"

So she's the only one left with the round face

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Le Le has grown a lot taller."

Gu Qinglan held Lele's face and looked at it for a while, then kissed her cheek and praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Lele smiled and replied: "Aunt, you are also pretty. You are my most beautiful aunt."

Gu Qinglan laughed: "That's right, I'm your only aunt."

The family gathered together and exchanged greetings, and the mood gradually calmed down.

Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinglan doubtfully, then looked at Gu Qinghan, as if asking, what was going on

Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Didn't you say Qinglan was also preparing to take the college entrance examination? You two will have a companion here, otherwise I would be worried."

Gu Qinglan looked at her ruthless elder brother, curled her lips and snorted, "Well, it turns out I'm just a foil!"

Wen Nuan held Gu Qinglan's arm affectionately and smiled: "Silly girl, you know it's not true. Your brother just wants us to have a quiet place to review."

"By the way, who will take care of your Xiangxiang?"

Beicheng is the most important air force base in the north, with fighter jets frequently taking off and landing, which is indeed a bit noisy.

Moreover, after Gu Qinglan and Li Daxiang got married, they gave birth to a daughter, who is now about ten months old. Qinglan should have just stopped breastfeeding.

Gu Qinglan said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Big brother has arranged everything for us. It just so happens that there is a mission in Beijing, and Daxiang has already taken Xiangxiang to the General Aircraft Hospital."

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, there has been a wave of applications from all over the country, even in the military.

Especially the younger soldiers, all plan to go to college after demobilization.

"That's good. Let's go inside first." Wen Nuan took out the key and opened the door to the courtyard. "Go in. The house is cleaned every week. It's spotless. Pick a room you like."

Several houses have stoves, so there is no need to worry about the cold when winter comes.

Gu Qinglan didn't mind it and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll follow you when you review, and you can sleep anywhere.

Gu Qinglan had a good foundation and had attended junior high school, which was considered a high level of education in that era.

Moreover, she has been studying with the old man for the past few years and has developed her own set of study methods, so there is no need to worry too much about her not doing well in the exam.

Wen Nuan: "Rest is still very important. You already have a good foundation, so don't worry too much."

Gu Qinglan nodded: "I understand, sister-in-law, then I will go to the east room."

Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan’s dormitory is on the other side of the main hall, with a living room in the middle, a dormitory on one side, and a study on the other.

After they had put their things away, Gu Qinglan told Wen Nuan some gossip about the Beicheng Family Compound: "Sister Juxiang has become the deputy squad leader, and Sister Guihua is pregnant again. They said that if she doesn't give birth to a girl this time, they will ask Brigade Commander Zhou to get sterilized."

Zhou Jianshe was promoted and is now the brigade commander.

But Wen Nuan really didn't know that Sister Guihua was pregnant. Although she often wrote and called, she hadn't contacted them recently because the college entrance examination was resumed. It seemed that this happened in the last two weeks.

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Captain Zhou loves Sister Guihua so much, he must be willing to get sterilized."

Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "It's hard to say. I've worked in the hospital for so many years, and I've only seen women getting IUDs, but I've never seen a man willing to cut his own flesh."

Wen Nuan was so amused by Gu Qinglan's words that she burst into laughter and said, "That's not necessarily true. Commander Zhou is the man who loves his wife the most that I've ever seen."

After saying that, Gu Qinghan came over and asked jealously, "Wife, what about me?"

Wen Nuan did not treat Gu Qinglan as an outsider. She kissed Gu Qinghan on the face and said, "My Qinghan is the best man I have ever met."

Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, a look of pleasure on his face, and then walked away.

Gu Qinglan couldn't stand the sour smell of the dog food and rolled her eyes.

After seeing her eldest brother walk away, she said, "Do you remember Huang Yueying? I heard that she wanted to take the college entrance examination, but her husband Feng Weiguo wouldn't let her. Huang Yueying was so angry that she filed a report for divorce. Now the family compound is in an uproar."

I remember Huang Yueying warmly, a military wife who always loved to form small groups and give gifts to please the families of cadres.

However, although Huang Yueying was not likable, it was a bit unreasonable for Feng Weiguo to not allow her to participate.

Wen Nuan asked, "Can we get divorced?"

Gu Qinglan shook her head: "I don't think it's possible. It's not that easy. They have four children."

Wen Nuan nodded: "Yes, maybe Huang Yueying will have to compromise."

The two talked about the affairs of the family compound, and then they packed up their things. After Gu Qinghan sorted out the honeycomb coal for them, he also hurried back to the army.

And Lele has piano lessons to go to, so he has to be sent there first.

Gu Qinghan hugged her warm waist and reminded her, "Remember to call me if you have anything. I've also arranged for the teahouse and the canteen outside the alley. You can go there directly to eat and put it on my account."

"There is also an inspection post outside the alley. If anything happens, remember to find someone to help you as soon as possible, okay?"

Wen Nuan nodded: "Okay, I know everything."

Gu Qinghan was worried, so he naggled on and on about some things before he took Lele, Baobao Zhouzhou and the others back and left the courtyard.

The child will definitely not want to give up the warmth, but there is nothing we can do about it.

If the child was older, Wen Nuan wouldn't have to come to the courtyard.

*

Gu Qinghan first sent Lele to the music group and let her and Cai Siling go to music lessons first.

After meeting Cai Siling, Lele said with a look of melancholy: "My mother has to take the college entrance examination and can't go home for the next two months."

Cai Siling is a little younger than Lele, but she understood a little bit of what was discussed recently about the college entrance examination, and asked, "Why can't auntie go home?"

"Can't she be at home?"

Lele sighed: "My dad said that Baobao, Zhouzhou and I would bother my mom, so my mom went to the courtyard to review."

Cai Siling frowned: "It must be Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou who are bothering auntie. Boys are really annoying."

Lele nodded in agreement: "Yes, boys are really annoying. My mother must be avoiding those two brats."

If it weren't for Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou, her mother wouldn't have to leave them for so long.

Cai Siling saw Lele's sad face, so she patted her on the shoulder and said to her in comfort, "Can auntie get into college?"

"I must be able to get in." Lele said with pride, "My great-grandfather said that my mother would get into Peking University and Huazhong University!"

Cai Siling looked silly and cute: "Are Peking University and Huazhong University the best?"

At this moment, a few more kids from the music group came over. When they heard what they said, they came over and said, “Those are the two most powerful universities.”

"Gu Wanyue, are you sure your mother can pass the exam?"

"That's right, it's very difficult, stop bragging!"

Lele glanced at those people and said, "My mother will definitely pass the exam, just wait and see."

"Hahaha, then we'll just wait."

Cai Siling took the violin case in her hand and glanced over: "What are you laughing at? My aunt will definitely pass the exam!"

After saying that, Cai Siling pulled Lele towards the piano room and said, "I'm fed up with these stinky boys. I don't want to bother with them."

Lele snorted: "That's right, even more annoying than Bao Bao and Zhou Zhou."

Cai Siling: "Baobao and Zhouzhou are much cuter than them. At least they call me sister."

The two girls smiled at each other and then went to class.

Wen Nuan settled down in the courtyard.

After a night's rest, she planned to give the review materials that Director Cai had printed for her to Uncle Li, and ask him to help distribute them.

Those who can help some people are some people.

However, just when I arrived at Uncle Li's house, I heard the voice of a young girl coming from inside.

I only heard the other party humbly ask: "Uncle Li, I know you must have high school textbooks, please lend them to me."

The person who was speaking was Hu Chunhua, the daughter who had unreasonably asked for her seat when Wen Nuan was riding on the bus on the day she met the kidnapper. It was said that she was an educated youth who had returned to the city from the countryside and had not been assigned a job.

Now hearing what she said, she was also preparing to take the college entrance examination, so she asked Uncle Li to borrow books.

Uncle Li is in his sixties, almost seventy years old. He has only one daughter and one grandson, neither of whom is old enough to go to high school.

How can Hu Chunhua be sure that Uncle Li has the textbook

Uncle Li propped up one foot on the armchair, fanning himself with his straw hat, and snorted, "Chunhua, don't waste your words in front of me. You always say I'm a rag collector, don't you? Why are you still asking me to borrow textbooks? How can I have those things?"

Uncle Li looked down on these people who looked down on others and had no manners.

Even if he had it, he would not lend his precious textbooks to such an uncultured person.

Hu Chunhua was not angry, but continued patiently: "Uncle Li, you are a great man and don't bear grudges. Wasn't it because I was young and ignorant? I really know I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me. You see, you collect a lot of books every day, so you must have hidden a lot. Can you lend me some books? I want to take the college entrance examination."

Uncle Li has collected a lot of books over the years, as well as various pieces of junk, and there must be high school textbooks among them.

Even if I have to beg for it today, I must ask for the textbooks.

Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "Go back. I don't have those things."

Hu Chunhua gritted her teeth and said, "I'm willing to pay for it. Just name a price."

"Five dollars? Ten dollars?"

He's just a rag collector, isn't he just blinded by money

I don’t believe he won’t agree!

Uncle Li saw that she was still pestering him and became impatient: "Go away, go away, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I said no, I don't have it, even if you have money, I can't sell it to you!"

Hu Chunhua got angry when she heard this, and her expression suddenly changed, but she didn't dare to curse him in person, and turned around and left unwillingly.

Just as Hu Chunhua walked out of Uncle Li's house cursing, Wen Nuan heard her gritting her teeth and cursing, "You stinky bastard, you deserve to be a rag picker for the rest of your life!"

Wen Nuan frowned when she heard this.

Then, when she wasn't paying attention, Wen Nuan calmly stretched out a foot when she stepped over the threshold.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Chunhua's panicked cry of "Ouch" was heard, and then she was seen falling to the ground with a distorted expression on her face, hissing in pain.

Wen Nuan ignored her and walked into Uncle Li's house.
