On May 28, 1977, Jiahui safely gave birth to a boy named Fangfang in the town health center.
The whole family was very happy for Fangfang's arrival. When Jiahui came out of the delivery room, Zhao Donglin held Jiahui's hand, his eyes were red from staying up all night and worried, and he had too much to say in his heart, worrying that it would be embarrassing for others to be present On the other hand, I only said six words, thank you for your hard work.
Zhang Qiaoer laughed from ear to ear when she saw her little grandson. One reason is that she has added another son to her eldest son, and the other reason is that Jiahui gave birth smoothly, which blocked many people's mouths, and the rumors can be settled.
"Jiahui, you're really good. You're seven pounds and two taels, and the baby is strong."
Jiahui nodded weakly. She had tried her best to control her diet in the late pregnancy, but the family always asked her to supplement and eat less. In the end, not only could she not control it, but she also gained a few pounds more than expected.
Although she didn't mention it to anyone before giving birth, she was actually very worried. Before the time travel, she had read a lot of news that pregnant women were in danger because of giving birth. In this era of underdeveloped medicine and basic medical equipment, she was really worried. I was worried that I would be in danger, but fortunately everything was safe in the end.
"Come on, be hungry, hurry up and eat something to cushion, keep warm with the stove, just waiting for you to come out."
A small pot of hot chicken soup. In order to let Jiahui eat hot food at any time, Zhang Qiaoer brought all the briquettes stove at home to the hospital. The chicken soup was prepared by Meixiang at home, and Jiahui was still in the delivery room at that time. Zhang Qiaoer gave birth to the fire and kept it warm.
Just after giving birth, Jiahui was very tired, and what she wanted to do most this time was to have a good sleep, and she didn't have much appetite, but her mother-in-law treated her so hard, and Jiahui felt embarrassed to brush her mother-in-law's heart.
Zhao Donglin helped Jiahui sit up, set up a small table for her, and filled her with half a bowl of chicken soup and chicken.
"Thank you Mom."
Zhang Qiaoer smiled and said, "Silly boy, what is there to thank for this, hurry up and eat, and sleep after eating."
Jiahui let out a hum and lowered her head to drink the soup. Zhao Donglin stood aside with a smile on her face. His daughter-in-law was sitting on the hospital bed, and his youngest son was in the small bed next to her. , this scene was so beautiful that it made him feel extremely happy.
"Look at Fangfang's small mouth, it's pink, it looks like you."
On the second day after giving birth, Chen Guixiang took care of Jiahui in the hospital. Since Jiahui was admitted to the hospital to wait for delivery, she came with brown sugar eggs, millet porridge, and chicken soup, together with Zhang Qiaoer, in different ways.
Jiahui is still a little weak today, but she has already started to get out of bed and walk around, but her whole body is tightly covered, airtight, for fear that she will not be able to sit still and suffer for the rest of her life.
Jiahui was extremely fortunate that Fang Fang was born in May, if Da Xia made her like this, she might want to die.
In the era without fans and air conditioners, confinement in the hot summer would be a torment.
After Jiahui fed Fangfang, Fangfang lay beside her. This is a baby who is praised as beautiful by anyone who sees it. It has a small white face, soft and thick hair, closed eyes, and long eyelashes. Quiet like a little angel descended into the world, just looking at her, Jiahui's heart becomes soft and touched, she just wants to hold him in her arms and love her dearly.
It is said that being a mother is just being strong. Only when you become a mother do you know the meaning of life, that is, you are willing to work hard all your life for a child as soon as it is born.
Jiahui gently held Fang Fang's little hand, and said silently in her heart, "Mom will work hard and will definitely give you a bright future."
So that you can also become a member of the fight for parents in the future.
"I can't drink anymore, Mom, you should drink too."
How could Jiahui eat so much pork rib soup in a large soup pot
"Eat more, you can raise your baby well when you are full, and he has to eat your milk."
Jiahui couldn't hold back, and was worried that she didn't have enough milk, so she forced herself to drink two more sips, and she stopped when she couldn't hold any more in her stomach.
"You gave birth to Fang Fang, what is the attitude of the two children at home?"
It's hard to be a stepmother. In the past two years, Jiahui's attitude towards Heidan Yingbao has been seen by everyone. It is already rare to be conscientious, and her own mother is nothing more than that. But children are different from adults. They are talking about feelings. The truth is, if you treat him well, he has to accept it. I am most afraid that a warm heart will encounter cold water.
Yingbao is okay, Jiahui didn't remember anything when she married, she always regarded Jiahui as her own mother, but Heidan is different, she is already seven years old this year, she can't be coaxed, and with the Zheng Yuefen incident that happened before, Chen Guixiang still I'm really worried.
"It's good. Meixiang brought them over to see me yesterday, but she liked to let it go. They all hoped that we would be discharged from the hospital and go home."
Yingbao is already two years old. Although she doesn't speak much, she understands everything. After watching the video, she said in a childlike voice, "Mom, brother, go home."
Everyone felt coke, so she teased her and asked, "Does Yingbao like your younger brother?"
She nodded seriously and said she liked it.
As for Heidan, it can be seen that he likes to let go, but it's not as obvious as Yingbao's performance.
Heidan has already entered elementary school after the year, because Jiahui tutored him at home, and his academic performance was among the best. The teacher said that with his current knowledge level, he could reach the third grade. Let's lay a solid foundation first.
Although he was still as silent as he was when he was a child, he had a gentle attitude and was very polite to Jiahui. Jiahui often helped her with housework during her pregnancy.
Although many people say that Heidan remembers his own mother, he is not familiar with him, and you can see that he doesn't call you mother, but Jiahui never cares about these, it's just a title, it doesn't matter to her at all .
She was kind to Heidan because she married Zhao Donglin, and she was kind to him for Zhao Donglin's sake. This kindness did not ask for anything in return, but only for a clear conscience. It was out of love for the children.
This kind of difference is more clear after giving birth. One is responsible care, and the other is maternal love in the palm of your hand. In the future, she will try her best to be impartial, but deep down, there is more affection. It must be Fang Fang who was conceived in October, just like Heidan respects her and is very polite to her, but he will never hug her, and will never act like a baby in her arms.
Time passed quickly, especially when there was a baby at home, who was busy taking care of him every day, watching him change day by day, crossing midsummer and coming to late autumn.
At the end of October, major domestic newspapers, magazines, and radio stations announced the resumption of the college entrance examination to the people of the whole country, and revealed that the college entrance examination will be held nationwide in one month.
The news pointed out that all workers and peasants, educated youth who went to the mountains and went to the countryside and returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres, and fresh high school graduates can participate in this campaign to restore the college entrance examination.
This news exploded across the country, and all the aspiring young people who conformed to the policy were ecstatic. After ten years, the country finally ushered in the spring of respecting knowledge and talents, and the sky covered by dark clouds finally cleared up.
When Zhao Donglin received the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered that a year ago, Jiahui had already mentioned the hypothesis of "resuming the college entrance examination". The college entrance examination has become a reality.
He has always known that his daughter-in-law is an extremely intelligent woman. She can keep accounts, make calculations, teach children enlightenment, write good handwriting, and tell many stories, but he didn't know that she could even guess the direction of national policies like this precise.
Before Zhao Donglin went home to tell Jiahui about it, Mei Xiang, who received the news from her classmates, rushed into the yard.
"Sister-in-law, have you heard that the country is going to resume the college entrance examination, and all those who meet the registration requirements can sign up for it. Many students in our class say they want to take the exam!"
At the moment, Meixiang admires her sister-in-law completely. A year ago, her sister-in-law asked herself to study more and read more books, saying that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and learning more will always come in handy.
Under the leadership of my sister-in-law, I revisited the knowledge I learned in junior high school. Now it seems that my sister-in-law is a prophet!
There was no newspaper at home, so Jiahui really didn't know the news, but she was not surprised. She already knew that the college entrance examination would resume this year, but she couldn't confirm the exact time.
"Then do you want to sign up?"
Meixiang sat down and took Fangfang from Jiahui's arms. After hearing Jiahui's question, her eyes were full of longing and confusion.
"I thought about it too, but I was a little uncertain and conflicted. On the one hand, I didn't want to miss the opportunity, and on the other hand, I was a little worried. I was afraid that I would fail the exam, and I was also afraid that my family would disagree."
After finishing speaking, Meixiang also asked Jiahui.
"Then sister-in-law, will you participate? You have been reading for the past two years, do you still want to go to college?"
In terms of studies, Meixiang believes that her sister-in-law can do it, but her sister-in-law gave birth to Fang Fang, and Fang Fang is so young. If her sister-in-law passes the college entrance examination, will her eldest brother and mother support her to go to school
"Of course I will. I have been waiting for this day. Let me tell you, our country will become stronger and more progressive in the future. Even if we are in the countryside, we have to do things that can contribute to rural construction. A young man with culture and knowledge, rather than knowing nothing, will only waste his time."
"Will the eldest brother agree?"
Jiahui blinked at her, "Guess?"
Mei Xiang laughed, "I can't guess that."
The eldest brother loves his sister-in-law very much, and usually the elder brother agrees with everything the sister-in-law says, but this is a big deal after all, not to mention Fang Fang is still so young, she really can't guess what the elder brother thinks.
Put it in Meixiang's arms, watching Jiahui talk for a while, and then looking at Meixiang talking again, seeing that no one paid attention to him, stretched out her small hand to touch Meixiang's face, babbling, Meixiang grabbed He put his hand on his mouth and kissed it.
"Let's let Fang Fang want to talk too, so you have to grow up quickly."
Fang Fang smiled, Mei Xiang's face was clearly reflected in the big round grape-like eyes, making people fondle admiringly, no amount of pain was enough.
In the evening, Jiahui discussed the college entrance examination with Zhao Donglin, and she clearly expressed her willingness to participate.
Zhao Donglin went to the town for a meeting today. Knowing that the country attaches great importance to this exam, he didn't raise any objections directly, but mentioned his youngest son.
"Fang Fang is still so young, are you really willing to leave him? If you pass the exam, you will go to school, and the child will not see you for a long time, not to mention that I don't feel at ease if you go out alone."
Not to mention the children, he couldn't even think of his wife leaving home for a few months.
Jiahui held Zhao Donglin's hand tightly in the dark, "Who said I want to go alone, I want to go with you, I read the newspaper, all the workers and peasants, the educated youth who went to the mountains and went to the countryside and returned to the countryside, and the demobilized soldiers All cadres, cadres, and fresh high school graduates can participate in the resumption of the college entrance examination. You are both a demobilized soldier and a village cadre.”
"Our country lacks a large number of talents now. We are also considered as aspiring young people. We have to learn more knowledge to serve the motherland. When we have learned something, will we be able to make greater contributions to the country! When the time comes, you will bring Bringing new horizons and new knowledge back to the village will definitely make our village better and richer.”
I have to say that Jiahui's words were really inspiring, at least in this dark night, Zhao Donglin's heart was moved for a moment.
He went to the army when he was a teenager to find a better way out for his family. If he put himself at that time into the present, he would definitely be willing to continue studying.
The heartbeat is back to the heartbeat, Zhao Donglin still considered the reality, there are three children in the family, even if the black egg is big, he can take care of himself, but Yingbao and Fangfang are still young, how can parents bring them here.
"I've thought about this too. Let's apply for a university in this province, bring our parents and children there, and rent a house outside. Not only us, but I also encourage Meixiang to take the exam too. You said that Meixiang is such a good girl, young, Good-looking, kind-hearted and smart, it would be a waste for such a good girl to just find someone to marry and stay in the countryside for the rest of her life? If she goes to university, she can pick a young talent, and her life will never be the same again."
The prospects described by Jiahui are very bright and feasible, but Zhao Donglin did not lose his mind under such a description.
In the past ten years, too many people's youth was wasted. When the college entrance examination is resumed this time, many people will definitely choose to take part. I have studied well and I am not sure of this.
He was deeply entangled in his heart. The times were developing, and the university entrance exams met the needs of the times. Just like what Jiahui said, the country urgently needs talents, and everything will be very different after receiving higher education in universities.
But if he can't go, how can he rest assured that his wife will leave home alone? This worry is not based on distrust of his daughter-in-law, but purely out of dissatisfaction with her.
He hugged Jiahui, his arms tightened unconsciously.
Although Jiahui didn't know exactly what was going on in his heart, she could guess some of it, and gave him a trump card at the right time.
"We have to think about our children even if we don't think about ourselves. If we have a better life, the children's starting point will follow us to become higher, and their horizons will also be broadened. Even if it is for the children's future, we have to Give it a try."
That night, Zhao Donglin suffered from insomnia.
