Early the next morning, before dawn, Ji Huai and Feng Qiaolan took an ox cart to the urban test center.
Both of them kept their voices down when they got up, for fear of waking up their daughter in the next room. The little guy was very clingy.
When we arrived at the test center, it was already bright and a crowd of people were gathered at the door. Many people were hiding in the corner holding books and crazily endorsing their notes.
The entire Ji family came, and Ji Hao's mother kept telling Ji Hao, "Take the exam well and don't feel any psychological pressure. After studying for so long, I believe you will pass the exam."
"I know, Mom." Ji Hao was also confident.
Next to him stood Yang Yue, who also came to take the college entrance examination. As soon as Ji's mother saw her, her entire face sank, her lips pursed, and her eyes were displeased.
They are both married and have given birth to two daughters. Why don’t you hurry up and get pregnant with a son? How can you take the college entrance examination? Just looking at it makes me angry.
Ji's mother reluctantly sent Ji Hao to the door, but she bumped into Ji Huai and his wife who were walking towards them. Ji's family members felt guilty and were stunned. Ji Huai, on the other hand, didn't seem to see it and turned his head to talk to Feng Qiaolan.
Feng Qiaolan was really nervous and was still asking him about knowledge. It's okay if you get the answer right, but if you don't get the answer, you'll be so anxious that you'll be sweating on your forehead.
Ji Huai took her hand, shook it gently, and comforted in a low voice, "Don't be nervous. You have already reviewed what you need to review. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
His unhurried and unhurried tone had magical power, making her anxious heart slowly calm down again, and she stood next to him. The next second, he caught a glimpse of Ji's mother and others from the corner of his eye.
Compared to the weak and good-natured mother Feng, Ji's mother is strong and a bit sarcastic, and her appearance does not suggest that she is a good person.
When Ji's mother saw her, her expression became more stern, showing even more disdain for her.
In her heart, the other party is still her daughter-in-law. She can use her status as mother-in-law to exert pressure and make the other party fearful and even respectful to her.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qiaolan not only did not show any fear, but instead faced her, her aura was not lost at all, and her eyes were slightly widened.
Ji's mother is dissatisfied with her, how satisfied is she with her? The other party never cared about Ji Huai and was not kind to her, so why should he be angry? She also felt wronged for Ji Huai.
"Don't pay attention to irrelevant people." came his low voice.
Feng Qiaolan also put away her expression and stopped looking over there.
This move made Ji's mother very angry, her chest heaved violently, but there was nothing she could do.
Candidates entered one after another. Ji Huai's examination room was next to Feng Qiaolan. He sent her into the classroom first and then went to his own examination room. When leaving, he specifically said: "Relax, it's not a big deal. When you get the test paper, read it first and then do the questions."
Although Feng Qiaolan nodded, she was still nervous. She had never thought that she would continue studying in the past. It was hard to describe her feeling, or rather, she felt a little unconfident.
When the test paper was handed out, she remembered what he said and read the test paper first. The more she looked at it, the faster her heartbeat accelerated. As I read the questions one after another, my heart jumped into my throat.
She has been exposed to these types of questions more or less, and she knows the answers to some at a glance.
Feng Qiaolan was so excited that her palms holding the pen sweated a lot, and she took several deep breaths before she started to answer the questions.
After finishing writing the test paper, it was still early, so she checked it carefully.
When the winding bell rang, she put her things away and went out. When she saw Ji Huai, she couldn't wait to walk up to him. Compared with the sad faces of others, she was so happy that she couldn't hide the joy.
If there weren't too many people, they would have wanted to pounce on him.
As soon as Ji Hao and Yang Yue entered the school, Ji's mother came up to them and asked him with a smile, "How did the exam go? Is it easy?"
Before he could reply, a tangled voice came from the side, "I feel it's so simple. One of the questions you just told me a few days ago is almost exactly the same."
Several people looked over and saw that not far from them, Feng Qiaolan was holding Ji Huai's hand and walking across the street.
Ji Hao didn't feel very good after the exam. He was already very depressed. Feng Qiaolan's words made it worse. Yang Yue looked at Ji Huai's back with an ugly face.
If she hadn't been blind at first and thought Ji Hao had a better future than Ji Huai, she wouldn't be in such a situation now, and her heart would turn green with regret.
Ji's mother could only take advantage of her words and said coldly, "It's easy to open your mouth. I've graduated from high school. It's weird to be admitted to college!"
In her opinion, Feng Qiaolan was just a village girl and a member of the lower class. How could someone who couldn't stand on the stage get into college
That night.
Ji Huai bought some meat and went back. Mother Feng fried the meat, fried eggs, cooked dry rice, and had vegetable soup. It was a sumptuous dinner.
Feng Qiaolan hadn't seen her daughter for a day. She missed her so much that she hugged her and wouldn't let go.
The little guy is quite vindictive. He hasn’t seen his parents for a whole day. He looks at them with his round and cute eyes, and his mouth babbling and accusing: “@#￥￥…”
"Are you unhappy?" Feng Qiaolan didn't understand. Looking at her daughter's frown, she knew she had an opinion.
"@##￥￥..." She pouted, and then complained several times. After scolding her mother, she looked at Ji Huai next to her and did it again. Her little face became more and more serious, and her opinions were not small.
Feng Dafeng burst out laughing, "I cried a few times today, and now I'm starting to curse."
Ji Huai looked at his daughter who kept talking about birdsong, and opened his hands to her, "Come, daddy, hug her."
In the past, as soon as he came back, the baby would lean forward, stretch out its little fleshy hands towards him, and if it was picked up, it would smile so hard that its eyes would narrow.
This time, when he saw him reaching out, instead of smiling, he seemed to snort and give him a slap on the back of the head.
"..." Ji Huai always thought that such a big baby was ignorant, so he was still stunned. He raised his hand and grabbed her sleeve and pulled it, "Is this a tantrum?"
As soon as he pulled it, the baby's little fleshy hand retracted, and he was still very temperamental.
After the meal, she still refused to be hugged by Ji Huai and lay on Feng Dafeng's shoulders. She grabbed Feng Dafeng's clothes with her pink hands and looked at her parents. She turned her head and refused to hug anyone who reached out.
Ji Huai reached out his hand to coax again, "Dad is going to make some milk powder for you. Do you want to go?"
She tilted her head and buried her head in Feng Dafeng's neck, refusing with her actions.
This action greatly pleased Feng Dafeng, and he laughed for a long time.
Feng Qiaolan also reached out and touched her daughter's little hand, but she was ignored.
Feng's mother came over and stretched out her hand, "Grandma, hug me."
The little baby raised his head and looked at Mother Feng. He actually stretched out his little hands and leaned forward. He was held by Mother Feng without crying or fussing. His cute little face looked at Ji Huai and Feng Qiaolan expressionlessly.
Two people: "..."
Is Meng Po soup watered down? Little man.
When the two went to take the exam the next day, they accidentally disturbed their daughter. The other party made a fuss for a while, then ignored them, and cried at the top of their lungs to Feng Qiaolan for a while.
Fortunately, the college entrance examination only lasts for two days, otherwise it would be difficult.
After the exam, Feng Qiaolan coaxed the baby for a few days before it was ready.
Entering August, the team's work increased, and Feng's mother had to earn work points, while Feng Qiaolan couldn't leave and took care of her baby at home.
Feng Dafeng was more active than before after work. After work, he went to the mountains to look for Morinda citrifolia. He couldn't find Morinda citrifolia, so he had to get a piece and a half of agarwood back.
Ji Huai rarely went up the mountain. He was busy going back to take care of his daughter with his wife, otherwise Feng Qiaolan would be too busy.
In the evening, he would write articles and earn some royalties. As he published more articles, he gradually became more famous. Newspapers and journals could no longer obtain exclusive publishing rights, so their royalties also increased.
Since the college entrance examination, Feng Qiaolan did not have to memorize or do questions. When he was writing articles, she would sit next to him holding her daughter.
The little baby is always disobedient and leans forward to crawl on his father.
"Dad is busy." Feng Qiaolan coaxed, but the other party didn't listen and tried to crawl on top of her father.
Ji Huai stretched out his hand and took his daughter over. He could hold her daughter with one hand and write the manuscript with the other hand, and it was very smooth, and he rarely changed it after he finished writing.
Feng Qiaolan admired him more and more. She smiled when she looked at him, and she liked him more and more.
Ji Huai's articles were gradually published in major journals and newspapers, and became popular among many people. They were also known by more newspapers and periodicals.
In early August, newspapers in provincial capitals published his latest article - "Today's Situation and Strategy"
The content of the article explains in detail a series of recent domestic policies and their impact. This is a special year. Diplomatic cooperation is going smoothly, and internal reforms are also taking place. These are changes visible to the people.
The views are still optimistic and even forward-looking, analyzing what kind of big changes the country's rise will bring, what kind of chain reactions it will cause, and even giving suggestions.
Cross the river by learning from foreign experiences. The country has a considerable labor force. As long as there is no shortage of resources and population, and with policy support, more and more goods will soon be produced and exported abroad.
Moreover, there is domestic demand in the country, which can achieve a cycle, and the production chain will only become more and more mature. When all the preparations are completed, it will be an era of accelerated development.
The article was exciting and everyone was curious about the author. It was also a surprise to learn Ji Huai's identity.
An educated youth who has been in the countryside for a few years, hangs out with mud-legged people all day long, and has never gone to college. Could he be using his emotions to gain fame and fortune
The first person to suspect Ji Huai was the educated youth from the village's Educated Youth Academy.
Many of them also learned from Ji Huai to write articles to make money, but no one wanted the articles they wrote. On the contrary, Ji Huai's reputation was getting bigger and bigger, so he was naturally unconvinced.
In places where there are many people, people talk about it, and it is passed around, and even the leaders of the village know about it.
There are haters but there are no laughs. Seeing that the Feng family was becoming more and more prosperous, their life was getting better and better, and Ji Huai was getting more royalties. When he heard about any bad news, he started to discuss them one by one more energetically than anything else.
Old Mrs. Chen said it wisely: "Didn't you listen to those educated youths? I heard that Ji Huai has no education either. He just writes things to deceive people, so he makes money."
"Isn't that money fraud?" Another old lady answered.
"Isn't this money fraud? I thought it was so powerful, and I didn't know if I would be caught cheating money like this." Mrs. Chen clicked her tongue several times as she spoke.
Aunt Zhang also took the opportunity and said: "Last year I said I was admitted to college but didn't go. I don't believe that I won't go to college. Maybe something happened. If you are reported, you might even be criticized!"
Just as Mrs. Chen was about to say something, she saw the production team leader Ji Zhuang walking over with a few people and stood up quickly.
With a somewhat flattering smile on his face, Ji Zhuang led a few people up the small slope.
"Where are we going? Aren't they from the town?" Old Mrs. Chen was curious, limping out and craning her neck to take a look, "Does it look like you are going to Feng's house?"
"Has Ji Huai been reported?" the young daughter-in-law next to him said suddenly.
After saying this, everyone followed him to Feng's house, for fear of missing the good show.
Feng family.
Feng Qiaolan held her daughter in her arms and was shocked when she saw the person coming. She was even more stunned when Ji Zhuang said he was the mayor.
"The mayor is here." Old Mrs. Chen felt incredible.
After Ji Zhuang finished speaking, he introduced to the mayor, "This is Ji Huai's wife and his daughter."
The mayor stretched out his hand to shake Feng Qiaolan's hand. Perhaps he could see that she was nervous, and smiled. There was an unconcealed decision in his words, "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing, a huge good thing."
Afterwards, what the other party said echoed in Feng Qiaolan's mind many times. She froze on the spot, in disbelief, and did not recover for a long time.
Ji Huai ranked first in the province and was the top scholar.
Feng Dafeng, who was coming back from herding cattle, saw many people gathered around their house. The cattle were not fastened, so he ran home with his shoes. When he saw the town leaders coming, he brought a bonus and said that his son-in-law had won the first place in the exam. , his face turned red with excitement, and he did not forget to ask, "Where is my Xiaolan? Did my daughter pass the exam?"
When he learned that Feng Qiaolan's score was not as high as that of Ji Huai's, he was still admitted to university. The man smiled a little silly. When he saw Feng's mother coming back, he was so excited that he couldn't share it with him.
His daughter went to college! ! !
The other party will go to college soon. After studying in college, the state will assign jobs, and he will no longer have to dig soil to grow crops like him. It's great.
The town leaders sent a bonus, and the Feng family also set off a big firecracker that day. While everyone was extremely excited, only Ji Huai was particularly calm, as if it was the result he expected.
The next day.
He made newspaper headlines and became known again, along with his previously published articles. In everyone's perception, it doesn't seem unusual to be able to write such an article after being admitted as the top scorer. I just think it is too awesome.
People in the streets were discussing who would be the top pick this time, but Ji Hao and Yang Yue, who had vowed to win the top prize, did not get into college.
They just let it go if they didn't pass the exam. After reading the information in the newspaper and learning that Ji Huai got the top prize, they made Ji's mother very angry.
Ji Hao was hit hard and unable to recover. Ji Hao's mother heard the news from somewhere, saying that the current university policy is not strict and that as long as it is done internally, he can pretend to be someone else.
She went to the countryside to find Ji Huai, and actually offered to let Ji Huai take the exam again next year and give the quota this time to Ji Hao, since he didn't go last year anyway.
"I gave birth to you and raised you. The gift of childbirth is not over yet. I don't want you to support me in old age. I will give you another two hundred yuan. If you give the quota to your brother, you will never owe me anything again." Ji's mother The words were just like talking about a deal, they were also very cold.
If Ji Hao pretends to be someone else and becomes the top scorer in the college entrance examination, there will be many benefits in the future.
She knew that Ji Huai had royalties and made some money, so she gave him two hundred yuan. Their family didn't even have 200 yuan, so they had to borrow money from relatives and friends to get the money.
It can be said that a huge cost has been paid, which is simply a loss of flesh.
Ji Hao was not in good condition and was suppressed by Ji Huai. The family was lifeless and the home did not feel like home. She had no choice but to do this.
Ji Huai raised his eyelids and glanced at her, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and asked in a calm tone, "What do I owe you?"
If you listen carefully, there is still some ridicule.
"I gave birth to you and raised you, I..."
Before Ji's mother finished speaking, Ji Huai said, "I asked you to give birth to me? I begged you to give birth to me?"
Having a child is a unilateral decision of the parents, but they always kidnap the child morally. This seems to be a sure-profit business. He had an unfortunate childhood and was driven to the countryside. The other party ignored him and just treated him as dead. Now he wants to repay his kindness.
"I gave you this life, and you will never repay my kindness!" Ji's mother couldn't say it, she was so angry that she was so angry.
"Your kindness?" Ji Huai only found it ridiculous, but he was not annoyed, "I don't think you are kind to me. Of course, I will abide by the support obligations stipulated by the law, and I will share the alimony equally with Ji Hao. As for the rest Yes, I advise you not to think about it, it will make people laugh out loud."
Before Ji's mother could refute, she heard him say again, "Even if I give him this status, can he still sit still? What's the point of his brain?"
Ji Huai didn't listen to what she said and left directly.
Isn't this calling Ji Hao stupid? How could Ji's mother bear it? In her eyes, Ji Huai couldn't even compare with a finger of his youngest son, who she had carefully cultivated and carried her hopes.
Ji Hao really wanted to go to college. She had two hundred yuan in her hand. Once she had the money, she started to think about spending money to buy other people's places and squeeze them out.
Not to mention, there are many people who take advantage of this kind of loophole, and there are all kinds of dirty tricks. As long as the money is in place, some people will really take risks.
Unfortunately, Ji's family was not very lucky. They spent money and seemed to have taken the quota. However, they were found out. Not only was the money wasted, but they were also taken away for investigation.
Things got serious and Ji Nan lost his job; the family owed a large amount of debt and Yang Yue got divorced; Ji Hao couldn't bear the blow and became decadent...
Ji's mother was sharp-tongued, but in the face of irrefutable evidence she kept making noises and making excuses, sending herself to jail. After being imprisoned for a few days, he became exhausted and began to beg for mercy again.
It's true that the prison is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want. Cases have been opened for investigation. I guess you won't be able to eat and walk around this time.
Ji Huai went to Capital University, and Feng Qiaolan went to Capital Normal University.
This place is far away from the capital, and it takes several days to get there by train. At this time, the Feng family faces a problem. There is a subsidy for going to college and it doesn't cost them much. Ji Huai also has royalties and can make a good living. Feng's mother can help take care of the children, but once they go to a university so far away, they won't be able to see their children more than once a year.
Their daughter was still so young. Neither Ji Huai nor Feng Qiaolan wanted to be separated from their daughter. They were so worried that they couldn't sleep all night long. If you take your children to college and school starts, and both of them have to attend classes, who will take care of them
Mother Feng thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I will bring her to you in a few years. I will come back when she grows up."
This traditional country old lady has never left the province in her life, and her life path is this small mountain village. It took a lot of determination for her to make this decision.
How much courage does it take to go to a big city in an unfamiliar place
If Feng's mother left, Feng Dafeng would be the only one left in the family. He sat silently for a long time without speaking.
Ji Huai put forward his own suggestion, "Mom, dad, why don't we go together? You also know the situation in the village. If you can't make money from growing crops, you will have to suffer for a lifetime. Morinda citrifolia is almost finished digging. This thing is so long." It’s slow and hard to find. The town gave me a bonus, plus the royalties in my hand, which is a lot of money. I’ve done the math. Although I can’t buy a house in the capital with this money, I can’t rent a house. It can be rented for two or three years. We rent a house with a yard, where we can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, and the cost of living is low."
"I'll write some more books, and you can look for other jobs. As long as the family is together, it's more important than anything else. When Xiaolan and I get out of school and assign work, life will get better."
… .
When it came to relocating the family, Feng's mother didn't dare to think about it. She had stayed in the countryside for most of her life and had her own comfort zone. It would be very difficult for her to step out.
Feng Dafeng didn't express his opinion, but he didn't refuse either.
Ji Huai didn't force him. He went into the house to make milk powder for his daughter and coax her to sleep.
That night, Feng Dafeng didn't sleep all night. When he had breakfast the next day, he said, "I've thought about it. If we want to leave, let's go together. However, we have to explain it to the village. If you don't work, you have to pay for the side job." In addition to the assigned work points, it is estimated that your mother and I will have to make up more than ten yuan a month each. I have also saved some money during this period. I will go there to have a look first. If I really can’t stay there, I will come back at the worst."
It will only take a few years. When the young couple graduates and returns to work, life will become easier.
If he had no money, he would not dare to say this, but now he has a few hundred yuan in savings, and he can survive for a year and a half no matter what. He is strong, hard-working, and can do any job.
He didn't believe it was impossible to make money in such a big city!
Ji Huai then expressed his position: "I will help you and mom pay the money."
"No, you can keep the children." Feng Dafeng waved his hand.
The one who was most afraid was actually Feng's mother. She was timid, but when the whole family went together and everyone was there, she gradually relaxed and started to clean up.
The people in the village had not yet recovered from the news that Ji Huai had passed the exam and heard that the Feng family had moved to the capital. Many people didn't believe it and even went to the Feng family to see it.
The door was locked, and there was really no one inside.
We all live in rural areas, and the farthest place we have ever been is probably the city. How far away is the capital
The wind in the village gradually changed again, and many people began to sigh with emotion, often chanting: "Feng Dafeng and his wife have a good life, and they have been brought to enjoy happiness."
If a daughter-in-law in the village is looked down upon after giving birth to a daughter, the bold one will retort, "The Feng family has also given birth to a daughter, so they can still enjoy the blessings. Those who have given birth to several sons have to work very hard at home. What's the benefit of having a son?" "
These words left many people speechless.
capital.
In a courtyard, a small corner on the east side is surrounded by many chickens, ducks and geese. There is also a vegetable garden not far away, where a variety of vegetables are grown. They grow well and are green.
"Tongtong, be careful." Mother Feng was following a baby who had just learned to walk. He was swaying and his feet were still dangling, but he was walking very fast.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." She walked to the chicken coop and threw the stone in her hand forward. The hens inside were frightened and flapped their wings and ran around. She smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, revealing a few baby teeth. .
"Don't scare the hen, otherwise Tongtong will have no eggs to eat." Mother Feng stepped forward to hug her and quickly brought her back.
The little baby was tumbling in her arms, pointing its chubby fingers at the hens and talking like birdsong, as if it wasn't making enough noise. Suddenly, she heard the sound coming from the door, got off Feng's mother and walked towards the door.
Before walking a few steps, the door was pushed open, and Feng Dafeng pushed his bicycle in. He took out the pastries he bought and said with a loving look on his face, "Grandpa bought mung bean cakes for Tongtong."
Mother Feng smiled and said, "My ears are not as good as hers. You ran to the door before you came back, for fear of being late."
Feng Dafeng pushed the bicycle aside, packed up the leftover tofu, and said, "I bought some ribs and meat. I kept the ribs for her to cook, fried the meat, and stewed the tofu. vegetable."
"Okay, Xiaolan and the others will be back soon. I'll get ready first." Mother Feng carried the things and walked to the kitchen.
Feng Dafeng took the baby to wash her hands and fed her cakes.
Several people felt uncomfortable and uneasy when they first came to the capital. Fortunately, Ji Huai found this courtyard house and the rent was not high, so the family settled down. He wandered around looking for work, and later started a small business at the suggestion of the other party.
There were many workers in the city, and they basically had to buy meat and vegetables. After much thought, he decided to sell tofu.
At first, he picked it up to sell, but later, Ji Huai bought him a bicycle. Selling tofu only takes one morning, and occasionally sells the vegetables grown by Feng's mother. She can earn two or three yuan a day, and four or five yuan when business is good.
In just a few days, she earned what it would take a month to farm at home. Even Feng’s mother, who was timid and homesick, was shocked. She doesn’t want to go back at all now.
In a big city, you can have everything and eat meat every day. Feng Dafeng can make money every day. Ji Huai will often buy fruits to eat. I heard that he is going to publish a book and the royalties will be high.
Life is a hundred times more comfortable than farming in my hometown!
Feng Qiaolan and Ji Huai's schools were not far away. When they came back from get out of class, they saw their daughters sitting on a stool eating cakes with a look of enjoyment on their faces.
Feng Dafeng was still sitting next to her and laughing, seeming to be very amused by her.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Feng Qiaolan's mouth also raised, and she called softly, "Tongtong?"
The little baby who was eating pastries looked towards her and was about to climb down in the next second. Feng Dafeng said quickly, "Slow down, slow down, don't fall."
Feng Qiaolan picked up her daughter, who kissed her. Ji Huai put his arm around Feng Qiaolan's shoulders and led the two of them inside. The daughter is a little girl who knows how to please people. She looked at her father and leaned forward to give him a kiss, which made Ji Huai laugh.
During the meal, he proposed to rent a small shop to sell tofu to Feng Dafeng. He also said, "You are tired from running around like this. You can only sell it in the morning. If there is a shop, even if you pay the rent, you can sell it for a day. And not only can we sell white tofu, but we can also sell tofu puffs and tofu puffs.”
Feng Dafeng was moved by what he said, and Ji Huai found a good shop for him and paid half a year's rent, so "Feng's Tofu Shop" was opened.
The location is well chosen and the business is very good. I sell two large barrels of tofu nao every day, and my income gradually increases. Feng Dafeng used to earn a few yuan a day, but now he earns dozens of yuan a day.
He was very strong and hard-working, and could do any kind of work. Feng's mother was also restless and often brought Feng Jiayu to help.
The couple moved a shop down without hiring anyone, and within a year, they bought the shop.
At this time, Ji Huai had already published a best-selling book, which caused quite a stir in the country and was even named and recommended for reading by several domestic scholars.
By the time Feng Qiaolan was about to graduate, Feng Dafeng had already opened several stores, and "Feng's" tofu had gained a lot of fame and confidence. When Feng Jiayuan entered kindergarten, he began to think about giving Feng Qiaolan another child.
Not only did he urge her, but Feng's mother also urged her, saying, "If you have a baby and then go to work, your family won't be able to support it. I will raise it for you after you give birth."
Feng Qiaolan thought about it for a while, but Ji Huai objected, "Xiaolan still wants to go to graduate school, so I won't have a baby yet."
"Are you still studying?" Mother Feng didn't understand at all, but seeing that Ji Huai relied on studying to make money, she couldn't say anything, "Then when will the baby be born?"
Ji Huai: "It depends on Xiaolan's intention."
Feng Qiaolan felt that she had been studying in the past few years. Although she had always squeezed out time to spend time with her daughter, she had never been with her all the time. In the past few years, she wanted to spend as much time with her daughter as possible, so her plan to have a second child was shelved.
After graduating from graduate school, Ji Huai took the Ph.D. exam again. She followed his lead and also took the Ph.D. exam. Later, both of them stayed at the school to teach.
Feng Dafeng and Feng's mother were anxious and helpless, and felt that they had to give birth to another child.
The constraints of their minds also made them feel that they could not have only one girl. All the boys in the village had to have five or six children. Some gave birth to ten or eight, not more than two. Two daughters were better than just one daughter.
Feng Qiaolan originally had some thoughts and wanted to have a child to accompany her daughter, but after studying for so many years, her daughter has grown up, and her mood has long been different. She said to Feng Dafeng, "After studying for so many years, I can finally work." , it takes a lot of effort to give birth to a child, and I can’t even take care of Tongtong.”
Ji Huai is busier than her. The articles he published in the early years have been verified one by one, he has been promoted to professor, and he has meetings everywhere, so how can he have time
Feng’s mother: “Your father and I will help you raise her!”
"One is enough, but one more will take away our attention from Tongtong. Even if you raise him, Ji Huai and I have to be responsible. Raising a child is not like raising a cat or a dog." Feng Qiaolan was unmoved.
Feng Dafeng and Feng's mother had great differences.
"Do you think your daughter is not good? Or what should you say?" Feng Qiaolan asked, staring at Feng Dafeng, who had the biggest opinion. "After so many years in the capital, your views have not changed in your bones, right? It must be a boy, otherwise you will be extinct. ?I am also a daughter, so a daughter is not as good as a son?"
"I didn't say that. Isn't it a little too little to have only one child? How lonely?" Feng Dafeng refused to admit that he couldn't live such a life without a daughter and son-in-law. His daughter is a university teacher, her ancestors are proud of their ancestors, and their ancestors are smoking!
Feng Qiaolan: "What's so lonely? Ji Huai and I are very busy. When you and mom retire, we will go for a walk in our free time to see the great country of the motherland and the scenery abroad. It's not easy to raise Tongtong, Are you tired of having to raise a little one again?"
Ji Huai didn't interrupt at first, but later just added, "Xiaolan had a hard time getting pregnant before. Her physical fitness is definitely not as good as before, and she probably suffers even more."
When Feng Dafeng and Feng's mother heard this, they both shut up and never mentioned it again. They turned to work and were busy with their careers.
The old couple are not young and have great ambitions. They started from a small tofu shop, selling tofu snacks and branding, and then opened a restaurant and a chain of supermarkets...
Their children were filial, and Feng Dafeng and Feng's mother had a smooth life for the rest of their lives. Even when they died, they comforted Ji Jiayu not to be too sad and would protect her in another way.
Ji Huai spent his whole life studying domestic and international situations, proposing many implementable strategies, and his opinions attracted much attention. He was even regarded as a weathervane, won many national honors, and was respected and loved by countless people.
