In August of 1977, Zhouzhou and Jiaozi were five years old, and their younger sisters, Doudou and Rongrong, were also half a year old. Yes, the two girls in the family were named "Dourong", and they already had porridge. Brother, Brother Dumpling, there is still a lack of stuffing, sweet bean curd filling.
Sister Doudou's name is Lu Siyao, and sister Rongrong's name is Lu Sining. Because the two little guys look exactly alike, Qin Rou also tied her sister Doudou's wrist with a red rope.
These two little guys are half a year old, they can already sit up, eat white and tender, the sisters are babbling and laughing all day long, the two sisters have small teeth, and now Qin Rou is already adding supplementary food to them up.
As expected of the children of the Lu family, they can eat very well, just like their elder brother.
When the two older brothers Zhou Zhou and Xiao Jiaozi came back from kindergarten, they would gather around the little bed to play with their younger sisters.
The little rattle rattled.
Zhouzhou on the left shouted: "Sister, look at brother!!"
The little dumpling on the right shouted: "Sister, look at brother!!"
"Battera..."
Sisters Doudou and Rongrong looked left and right, drooling drowsily, because they couldn't speak, they couldn't express themselves, but...
Why is there a little brother on the left and a little brother who looks exactly the same on the right? The two sisters who have not recognized each other for a long time feel so confused. Why are there so many identical brothers.
"Ah?"
"oops… "
The two sisters turned over and huddled together, humming and chirping, the two sisters were rubbing against each other, what kind of brother are you looking at, the brothers all look the same, it is better to look at the older sister (sister).
He raised his hand to rub his sister's little face, turned over and pressed on her.
Qin Rou found that among the two sisters, the younger sister was much more lively than the older sister, and the older sister was very calm, laying out her big characters openly to sleep, while the younger sister was going to do things, babbling, waving her hands and shaking her legs.
Harassing the sleep quality of the big sister.
"Zhouzhou and Jiaozi come to practice calligraphy, write two pages of big characters and then play with my sister." Zhou Zhou and Xiao Jiaozi are five years old. They already know a lot of characters and can read simple short stories.
Zhouzhou and Jiaozi kept their heads down and pretended not to hear. They don't like writing very much.
It is strange that five or six-year-old children are willing to sit and write honestly. Compared with studying, they prefer to go outside to play in the mud.
"Mom, we're going out to play hide and seek!"
There are many friends of similar ages in the family courtyard. Zhouzhou and Jiaozi also like to play with friends in the courtyard, such as hide and seek and badminton... The more people there are, the more fun it is, especially hide and seek.
"Lu Weizhou, bring a little dumpling to write."
Zhou Zhou said cleverly: "Who is Lu Weizhou? I don't know him."
Xiao Jiaozi followed up wittily and said, "I don't know Lu Weize either!"
Qin Rou: "..." Do you know what it means to not call yourself? This is not calling yourself.
"Are you mother's sons? Mother only has two sons, Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize."
"I am Zhou Zhou!"
"I'm Little Dumpling!"
"When I go to elementary school, I have to write my name, and I have to write my first name in my homework."
Qin Rou took the two children to the small table and sat down, and honestly wrote two pages of her name first.
Lu Weizhou, Lu Weize.
"Mom, I'm done!"
After the two children finished writing, Qin Rou saw the two brothers' "broken characters", and her name was written crookedly. How should I put it, the writing difficulty of the two names Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize is not much different, and the fonts are left and right Structural, it is easy to lead to...
The three-character Lu Weizhou can be written into the six-character "Lu Weizhou". In the word "zhou", the three dots of water on the left are like slapping the word "zhou" on the right, and cursed: don't beat me!
If you want to taste the word "state" in detail, it is enough to split it into four or five.
Qin Rou showed the broken characters of the two children to her father, Lu Yan, "Teach our son to write quickly, Brother Lu, your handwriting is so beautiful, why do the cubs write like this."
"They're still young."
"Lu Yan, please write a copybook for the children and let them practice according to your handwriting." Qin Rou's handwriting is so-so. Write like Dad Zhou and Xiao Dumpling.
"Um."
It's just that the child is still young, even if he practiced according to his father's words, the words he wrote still have his own ideas.
In August and September, some news about the resumption of the college entrance examination was faintly spread in the society. Some people did not believe the fake news, while some secretly looked forward to it. In October, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was broadcast on the radio.
As the announcer, Qin Rou personally broadcast the news through countless loudspeakers.
“… a major decision has been made, the college entrance examination will be resumed in…”
This is a big piece of news, whether it is the Central Radio Station or the local People's Radio Station, it is repeated in the morning, noon and evening, whether it is farmers and educated youths in the fields, workers working in factories, and other veterans , students... have all heard the big news.
People in all places are in commotion, resuming the college entrance examination? Pass the exam to get into university? ! !
This news is really exciting.
In the past ten years, I have been taking various recommended college entrance examinations. Many people shook their heads, knowing that they would not get a recommended place, and never dared to go to any university, but now the college entrance examination has resumed? ! !
They have a chance to go to college!
This news was released in a hurry, and there was no time to call people to prepare. The day of the college entrance examination is just around the corner. The first exam after the resumption of the college entrance examination is scheduled for December this winter, and now there is only a short month before the exam.
Before all the people had time to digest this big news, they had to start preparing for the college entrance examination review.
The registration fee for the college entrance examination was set at one yuan, but under the reaction of many people, it was changed to fifty cents.
That is, this fifty cents has changed the fate of countless people.
Many people hold fifty cents and hesitate on the road of life choice, "It's only a month, can I pass the exam?"
"Are you going to take the test?"
"Sign up! Even if you don't pass the exam, you still have to try!"
…
Countless people signed up for the exam, and Qin Rou hesitated whether to sign up or not. After Lu Yan came back, Qin Rou asked his opinion: "Do you think I should sign up for the college entrance examination?"
Lu Yan was a little surprised, but not too surprised. The couple watched "One Hundred Thousand Whys" together and discussed math problems together. He knew Qin Rou's level, "You can pass the exam."
"Then do you think I should go to college?"
"Go if you want." Lu Yan asked her: "Have you decided which university you want to go to?"
"Lingnan University in Guangcheng." Qin Rou continued, "If I pass the exam, I will go to Guangcheng to study next year."
That means that the two of them will be separated, which is why Qin Rou hesitates. Originally, she and Lu Yan get together less and stay away more, but now that the child is still young, Qin Rou is quite reluctant to go to college separately.
Although the distance from Qiongzhou Island to Guangcheng is not far away, if she goes to study, then the next four years will only see her during the winter and summer vacations.
"Go." Lu Yan gave her an affirmative answer, and encouraged her with a smile: "Come on and pass the exam."
Qin Rou was annoyed: "Are you like this? Lu Yan! Your wife, if I really want to be admitted to university, I have to go to Guangcheng to study!"
"On weekdays, you still say that you like your daughter-in-law the most, and you can't wait to cling to me every day. Now that I'm going to study outside, you don't even have a little bit of reluctance, and you encourage your daughter-in-law to get into the exam quickly..."
Lu Yan looked at her with a smile, took off his military cap and put it on top of Qin Rou's head, and said, "In December this year, Guangcheng is planning to set up a naval academy."
Qin Rou: "... so?"
"If you go to Guangcheng Lingnan University to study, then I will also strive for the opportunity to go to the school for further study."
Qin Rou: "?!!!!"
There is such a coincidence!
"Then I'm going to sign up for the college entrance examination?!" The couple went to Guangcheng to study together, and they could witness the opening of the economy by the way! ! !
Lu Yan looked at her fondly and smiled: "Go!"
"You have to pass the exam. Don't go to Brother Lu at that time, you didn't pass the exam." Lu Yan scratched her nose.
The two daughters are still young, and Lu Yan also wants to take the opportunity to study. Although many old men hate studying and attending classes, he is different from an officer like him who originally came from a military academy. He has a solid foundation in various knowledge. In his prime, studying is not a problem for him.
Apart from other things, for military officers, they will have a lot of freedom when they are studying in school, especially for military officers who are married and have family members, they can spend more time at home, and they are free in their spare time.
"You put me under a lot of pressure by saying that." After Lu Yan said this, she must pass the exam, and Qin Rou didn't know what to take in the first resumption of the college entrance examination.
"Brother Lu will review with you."
Qin Rou went to the registration site to take the exam. When she went to register, the registration site was still overcrowded. It wasn't that the registration process was troublesome, but that everyone didn't know how to make a decision for the time being. Stay at the registration site to contact candidates and discuss with each other. discuss.
The college entrance examination at this moment is different from the future college entrance examination. It is to fill in the school volunteers first, and then take the exam.
What is the test? What score can I get? What school can I go to with this score? ... Everyone doesn't know these things.
"What school do you apply for?"
"There is still a month, is there time to review?"
"I'm sure I won't pass the exam. I'll give it a try first. I'll fill in Huaqing University and Peking University!"
…
I'm not smart and I'm still chatting with others here. Those who really want to go to university have already squatted in front of the Xinhua Bookstore. There are staff in every major Xinhua Bookstore early in the morning, just to buy books.
Especially the set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" was robbed.
Because she had dealt with the people from Guangcheng Publishing House before, Qin Rou got two sets of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", she kept one for herself, and gave one to her sister and brother-in-law.
Knowing that the Chen family had books, many educated youths from Dajiao Village came to the Chen family to copy the books to study. One person copied part of the book, and everyone could get together to learn.
"If you get tired of copying, replace me!"
"These math problems are so difficult!"
…
Brother-in-law Chen Mian looked at the enthusiastic learning atmosphere in front of him, and felt warm and relieved in his heart. He liked to see the picture of everyone actively learning together.
He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.
"Mr. Chen, you are a college student, can you explain this question to us?"
Wang Zhiqing, who was always dedicated to learning, seized the opportunity to ask Chen Mian for advice, and Chen Mian gave him a lot of advice.
The two children, Chen Jinghua and Chen Juanjuan, were also very happy when they heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, "We can also take the exam in the future! Jinghua, we can also take the college entrance examination!"
"Auntie, you are right, it really is to recruit talents based on merit!"
"Auntie, do you want to take the exam too?"
Qin Rou nodded: "My aunt will go to university first, and Jinghua and Juanjuan will wait a year or two to take the university entrance examination."
"My sister, are you going to take the college entrance examination too?" Qin Mian's jaw dropped when she learned that her own sister was going to take the college entrance examination. Like her younger sister, Qin Rou, was a girl from the mountains, and she barely studied art in the past. School, now you want to go to university
Brother-in-law Chen Mian said: "Your sister has carefully read "One Hundred Thousand Whys" in the past two years. Her foundation in astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry is much more solid than others. She wants to take the exam, and she should be able to pass the exam."
"Really?" Qin Mian was startled, "Our family is going to have a college student!"
Chen Mian was speechless: "Don't you marry a college student?"
"This is my own sister... You all have become educated people, and I have been left behind. I have to learn more."
"What kind of book is that? I'll take a serious look at it too!"
"Sister, take a look, maybe you can get into a university."
Qin Mian waved her hand: "What kind of university do I need to take at my age? My sister, you are young, so it's just right to take the university entrance exam."
"Sister, you don't know, I saw a mother and daughter signing up for the exam together."
"Ah?! Mother and daughter take the exam together?"
"Yeah." Qin Rou nodded with a smile: "Maybe the mother and daughter are admitted to the same university."
This is probably the most special college entrance examination session. Not only mother and daughter take the exam together, but also father and son, brothers and sisters... even "teachers and students" walked into the examination room hand in hand.
Many rural elementary school teachers also signed up to take the exam, and the brother-in-law Chen's family became a favorite at the moment, and everyone gathered around him to ask questions.
Even in the next few villages, many educated youths working on rubber farms knew that there were two college students here, and even a former college teacher was here, so they went to Chen's house to study without hesitation.
There was an endless stream of people who came to visit the Chen family.
"Teacher Chen… "
The villagers of Dajiao Village were amazed to see such a lively scene.
When Qin Rou went to fill out her volunteer application, she only filled out one school, Lingnan University.
Others filled in all kinds of schools. If you want to talk about the most schools, I am afraid it is really "Huaqing" and "Peking University". Some people only know these universities.
Knowing that he would definitely not pass the exam this year, he naturally filled in the schools randomly, filling in whichever one had the best reputation.
Like Qin Rou, Ye Mingxiu from the family courtyard signed up for the college entrance examination, and the school she was going to take was also Lingnan University.
"At that time, we will go to Guangcheng to study together."
Because of the matter of signing up for the college entrance examination, many people’s families were turned upside down. The family members’ home is okay. Unemployed military wives generally have no enthusiasm to take the college entrance examination. Half of the working military wives live in a stable life. The other half wanted to take the exam, but the family refused.
The educated youth on the island, the workers in the factory, and many people who are married and have families are all facing the same choice. Should they take the college entrance examination
Even though their family members disagreed, they still walked into the examination room.
In December, Qin Rou went to take the college entrance examination. There were really all kinds of people in the examination room, and their levels were uneven. She even saw candidates who directly drew duck eggs on the test papers.
Compared with the later college entrance examinations she had participated in, the college entrance examination this time was really casual. Qin Rou was in a particularly calm mood. The test papers were not difficult, and she answered all the questions attentively.
After handing in the last test paper, Qin Rou breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out of the examination room and rode her bicycle back home.
"Xiao Qin? Xiao Qin, have you returned from the exam?"
"How did you do in the exam?"
Qin Rou responded casually: "The test is okay."
Back home, a pair of sisters at home sat on the fence to see their mother, and when they saw their mother, they shouted excitedly: "Hey!!"
"elder brother!!"
"Oops - blah!"
Qin Rou: "..."
Under the tireless teaching of brother Xiaojiaozi, the Tiandourong sisters in their family first learned to call them neither father nor mother, nor grandpa and grandma, but elder brother.
What kind of experience is it like to be called brother by your daughter
Qin Rou walked to the daughters' side and coaxed: "Good Doudou, good Rongrong, call mom, call mom!"
Doudou said: "Hehe? Hehehehehe..."
She called brother? giggle? Shouting and shouting, he laughed to himself.
The younger sister is the same as the elder sister, the two silly treasures face each other and laugh together.
Qin Rou: "..."
When she saw that the faces of these two silly daughters resembled hers six to seven times, she suddenly felt bad.
After Lu Yan came back, she didn't ask her how she did in the exam, but just teased her daughter like her, "Brother Lu!"
When Qin Rou heard this, she patted his hand angrily, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, how do you teach your daughter? Call Dad!!"
Doudou: "Dad!!"
Rongrong: "Hey Dad!"
Qin Rou: "?!!!!!!"
Ah, why do you call me brother, father, or mother
"Hey baby, call me mom!!"
"dad!!"
"Ah, ah, dad!!"
Qin Rou: "..."
Poor daughter.
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Jiaozi ran home, and Xiao Jiaozi didn't stop: "Sister, sister, call brother!!"
"elder brother!!"
When Sweet Dou Rong saw Brother Dumpling, she immediately called out, "Father!"
Little Dumpling: "?!"
Dumplings are not dad.
He turned to look at Lu Yan, wondering: "Dad?"
Lu Yan: "..."
Zhou Zhou said: "It's the big brother!"
"dad!!"
Qin Rou: "..."
After teaching the two little children for a few days, Doudou and Rongrong can barely distinguish their parents from their elder brother. The two little sisters will also crawl around and try to stand up by holding on to the fence.
"Mother… "
"Our Doudou and Xiao Rongrong are one year old."
The two children, Doudou and Rongrong, learned to speak very quickly, and the two sisters could talk to each other in a short time. This is the advantage of having twins. If it is a child, when the child talks, he hopes to be loved by adults. The attention and response, and the two little sisters, said some words that adults could not understand, and they spoke very vigorously.
Qin Rou scored 406 points in the test and was admitted to the Department of Business Administration of Lingnan University. At this time, the Department of Business Administration, which is later known as Business Administration, Ye Mingxiu scored 350 points in the test and was also accepted by the Department of Chinese Language and Culture of Lingnan University. admitted.
"Xiao Qin, you really passed the exam?!"
"Xiao Qin, you and the Zhao family passed the exam?!"
"Amazing!"
…
People in the radio station were all amazed when they knew that Qin Rou was admitted to university, "Qin Rou, with your appearance and voice, why don't you continue to be an announcer? It's so easy to be an announcer on the radio."
"You have studied business management, do you want to be a workshop director?"
"Xiao Qin, congratulations!" Zeng Xueqing has worked with Qin Rou for a few years, and now she is about to leave her job to go to university, and she sighs and regrets, "You will be a college student from now on."
Xi Xiangyi was also admitted to university, but she was admitted to a school in the Northwest, and she was hesitating whether to go to school.
"Why don't you take another exam next year?"
"Everyone will review for another year next year. I'm afraid it will be much more difficult than this year's exam."
"That's right, the sudden exam this time is too unexpected."
…
The good news from Dajiao Village is also one after another. Six or seven of the educated youths in their village have been admitted to colleges. Although several schools are not very good, this is big news for the countryside.
Many people came to Chen's house to thank Chen Mian.
"Thanks to Teacher Chen."
"Thank you for the books I read at Chen's house!!"
…
Educated youths from other villages also came to Dajiao Village to thank the Chen family and Chen Mian and his son for their help.
The people of Dajiao Village were very happy to see this scene. What does this mean? This shows that Mr. Chen in their village is really capable. Even if he is a primary school teacher, people still come to ask him for advice when they go to university! !
— the mighty man of their village.
The villagers went to the village cadres to praise him: "You are still amazing, you recruited Mr. Chen to our village, our village has more powerful people, and the children will have hope in the future."
Although the country people don't have much cultural knowledge, they have descendants. Seeing so many educated youths go to college, and a few more, their hearts warm up.
Although they themselves cannot be admitted to university, their children can study and go to university. With such a teacher in their village, their children will definitely have the hope of being admitted to university in the future! !
"In the future, when our baby is admitted to university, can he also be assigned work? Can he also be a cadre? No need to work in the fields."
"We need to have a better relationship with Mr. Chen's family."
"Let the boys in the family listen to Teacher Chen carefully."
When people in other villages heard about this incident, they also envied that there was a powerful cultural person in their village, "Mr. Chen in your village is amazing. I heard that several people he helped were admitted to college."
"In many villages, none of them passed the exam."
"People in the village will be very happy if they pass the exam."
"Your Dajiao Village has also become a treasured place of geomantic omen."
…
The village respected the Chen family more, and greeted his family warmly when they saw this change. Qin Mian couldn't be happier to see this change. This is really a change of the times. Chen Mian and Mr. Chen also had a lot of smiles on their faces.
The sisters Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua studied harder under the guidance of their grandfather and father, especially Chen Jinghua, who was good at reading and studying. Now that he knew that he would have the opportunity to be admitted to university, he wished to get into books every day.
His enthusiasm for studying made many educated youths who were older than him feel ashamed.
"Great, my younger sister is admitted to university!"
"Your aunt has been admitted to university, and you will definitely be able to enter university in the future!"
The Chen family is thriving day by day, and they all feel that there is more hope for the future.
In the spring of 1978, Qin Rou was going to report at Lingnan University, Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping went to Guangcheng with their five children, and Lu Yan would also go to Guangcheng Naval Academy to study in the near future.
Instead of renting a house, they live with Third Sister Lu, who changed jobs at the end of last year. Now she is not a female soldier, but a glorious policewoman.
Lu Xuan found a way to transfer to Guangcheng. Originally, her army was transferred to Guangdong Province. In addition, she had made meritorious service and performed well, so she was given the opportunity to be resettled in Guangcheng. She passed the internal examination and was transferred to the public security department. .
From one uniform to another.
Lu Xuan is very satisfied with this arrangement. She has been going to Guangcheng for a long time. Lu Qing always describes all kinds of delicious food to her in letters. She must come here to eat and drink, eat all the delicious food, and put Play all the fun places.
"Mom!" Xia Mingxi happily embraced her new-looking mother when she saw her.
The fuck is the police, the police catch the bad guys! !
Old Comrade Lu looked at his daughter's police officer uniform up and down, and nodded involuntarily: "Not bad, not bad, work hard!"
Qin Rou smiled and said, "Third sister."
The big brother Zhou Zhou and the other three little guys called "aunt" together.
"Let me hold two children." Seeing Doudou and Rongrong, two little nieces, Lu Xuan liked them very much. She was tall and strong, and she held one in each hand.
"Hey, call me Auntie."
"Auntie! Auntie!"
"Come with me. I'm living in my friend's house, in an arcade on the side of the road." Lu Xuan led them to the place where she lives now. This house is not big, with two bedrooms and one living room, but the room It is very big, and three rooms can be separated by a cabinet. "My house in Gong'an is still under construction, and I can move in when it is completed next year."
Their family went upstairs in a mighty way, and other people in the building came to see the excitement. Seeing this, a neighbor couldn't help but congratulate Lu Xuan and said:
"Xiao Lu, your daughter-in-law finally came to you with her parents and children."
"Your daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
Lu Xuan: "???!!"
Qin Rou: "?!!"
