Geng Dabao was so frightened that he shook his head vigorously - Geng Dabao is not tired, not anywhere!
Aunt Ye Fan felt distressed: "Why are you scaring him? Our Dabao is just talking. Dabao, do you want to eat watermelon? Grandma cut a watermelon?"
In the past, Tao Chunlan often took Dabao and Erbao back to her parents' home. Dabao was relatively familiar with her uncle, so Dabao dared to yell at Uncle Ye Fan's house.
Geng Dabao was very shy: "You can eat two pieces!"
Aunt Ye Fan smiled. She liked listening to Dabao talk the most, like a little adult: "Do you want to drink soda? Grandma will buy you soda."
Dabao habitually looks at his mother, almost without saying explicitly: "I want to drink!"
Ye Fan: "Choose one."
Aunt Ye Fan said with a smile: "It's a rare time to come out, Fanfan, don't be so strict."
Dabao nodded: "Mom, let me drink soda, and I will accompany you to visit relatives every day."
Ye Fan wanted to be angry but also wanted to laugh: "Who has the money to treat you to soda every day? You only want good things!"
Dabao immediately asked: "Is it okay if something good happens now?"
Ye Fan nodded helplessly, and Dabao cheered happily, took his uncle's hand and went out to buy soda.
Geng Zhiye asked Erbao if he was going. Erbao felt it was too hot and pointed to the main room to enter. Ye Fan carried her to the courtyard under the grape trellis: "It's cool here."
Uncle Ye Fan's and Uncle Geng Zhiye's houses both face north and east, but Uncle Ye Fan's house has five main rooms, a spacious yard, two grape trees planted, and a stone table under the grape trees, which Ye Fan used to have when he was young. Writing summer homework under the grape trellis.
Although her uncle's house is large, it is still a house in the capital, but her uncle's ancestral home is not from the capital. In his early years, Grandpa Ye Fan could not survive in his hometown, so he came to the capital to beg for money to make ends meet. Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many people went to Shengjing at that time and the houses were sold at low prices. Grandpa Ye Fan had been wandering for many years and wanted a home, so he used all his wealth to buy this house.
It is said that there was a side room at both ends of the original three main rooms. Later, her grandfather saved some money and demolished the wing room and built it to the same height as the three main rooms. However, because it is a wing room, the room is not as spacious as the main room. In the past, when Ye Fan came to her uncle's house, she lived with her cousins in the renovated penthouse. Now my uncle's grandchildren come back to live during the winter and summer vacations.
Just as Ye Fan sat down with Er Bao in his arms, the doors at both ends of the three main rooms opened, and several teenage girls and boys came out. Ye Fan turned around when she heard footsteps. They were her uncle's grandchildren: "Would you like some soda? Grandma went to buy soda for Dabao."
Several children couldn't help but come out when they heard "soda". After hearing the words, they made sure they didn't recognize it. They said hello to Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye and ran out. Erbao also went crazy on her own. As soon as she saw this many brothers and sisters running out and getting off her mother's lap, she shouted: "Wait for me!"
My little cousin is not as important as soda.
So no one heard.
Geng Zhiye smiled and stretched out his hand: "Dad, will you take me in my arms?"
Erbao stretched out his little hand and said: "Dad, hurry up!"
Geng Zhiye "flyed" out with her in his arms, and Erbao giggled happily. Uncle Ye Fan came out of the house carrying a teapot and teacup, "How old is Zhi Ye? He still makes trouble with his children."
Ye Fan laughed and said: "He has always been like this. When I first got together with him, I said he was steady and pretending. Sit down and stop being busy."
Her uncle poured a cup of hot tea: "Drink something hot. Your body can't bear the cold food every day. As for your aunt, she likes it herself and also likes to buy it for the little ones. It's been a little better recently. I have two melons a day in the dog days of summer. It’s not rare to say that about her.”
Ye Fanxin said, if you talk about my aunt, others will also say that you don't have a good appetite.
"Tea tea?"
Her uncle nodded: "Your brother gave it to me. By the way, I heard from your aunt that your sister-in-law plans to have a child. Is there any news?"
Ye Fan almost threw the water cup away - doesn't my sister-in-law not want children? What kind of stimulation is this?
When her uncle saw her losing her temper, he was very surprised: "You don't know?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "My mother didn't say it, and neither did Chen Xiaohui." Thinking of a possibility, "Is my mother superstitious again?" Seeing her uncle's confused look, "Isn't there a saying that it didn't take shape in the first three months? , the less people know about it, the better, otherwise you won’t be able to retain it.”
Her uncle nodded with deep understanding: "I think it looks like it. Your mother has been a revolutionist all her life, and she is still superstitious. Has the Party's education for her been eaten by dogs?"
Ye Fan laughed and choked: "Don't say it, don't say it so harshly. My mother is the same, please give me some psychological comfort. Let's just pretend we don't know and don't ask. We won't be able to hide it even if we want to in the future." He said this , when he came home and saw his sister-in-law, Ye Fan couldn't help but look at her secretly. Her sister-in-law walked and washed vegetables just like before. Ye Fan probably had no movement in his stomach.
At night, Ye Fan was sitting by the bed sorting out the clothes of a family of four, and saw Geng Zhiye flipping through the photos: "How many times have you seen it? Haven't seen enough yet?"
The day after Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan returned to Geng's house from Qin Yunzhi's house, Geng Zhiye's family of four, Geng Huihui's sister and brother, as well as Geng's father, Yu Wentao and Geng Zhiqin went to the photo studio to take pictures.
It was Brother Geng who brought up this matter. Brother Geng rarely takes photos. If he asks his father to take photos, his father can't help but wonder if he should keep them as a posthumous photo for me. Brother Geng planned this because his father's appetite was smaller than before and he didn't eat as much as Dabao.
People are like iron rice and steel.
If you can't eat, you have to finish the meal.
Qin Yunzhi scolded Yu Wentao for not having any brains. When she returned to her parents' house on a hot day, she was not only worried about the Dabao and the second child, but also worried that Geng's father would not be able to bear the physical burden.
Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan often took photos of Dabao and Erbao. When Ye Fan said it, Geng's father didn't think much about it. After the photos were developed, Geng's father was still in the mood to admire them. However, Geng Zhiye did not keep a single photo of his father. Geng Zhiye only has six photos, a group photo of everyone who went to take pictures that day, a group photo of his family of four and a single photo.
In order to deceive his father, Geng Zhiye asked his nephew, niece and sister to take solo photos. The photos were taken by Qian Geng Zhiye. There are more than a dozen photos. It makes me feel distressed.
Geng Zhiye looked at the photo and then at Ye Fan: "You are different from the photo."
Ye Fan: "I'm still different from what I see in the mirror. Can you move?"
Dabao turned over and knelt on the bed: "Dad, can you move?"
Geng Zhiye glared at his son: "Sleep!"
Dabao rolled over and rolled onto his bed with his sister. They used to live next door to Ye Fan. Now Chen Xiaohui lives there, and their beds have been moved over and merged with Ye Fan's bed. It's very comfortable for four people to sleep in two beds, but the married life is gone.
Geng Zhiye was annoyed when he saw his eldest son recently because he talked too much and stayed awake. Erbao went to bed to play by himself, and fell asleep while playing. For example, now, it's past eight o'clock, Erbao has fallen asleep early, and Dabao is still tossing and turning like a night owl.
Ye Fan put down his clothes and stared at Geng Zhiye. Geng Zhiye immediately put down the photo and picked up his bag. Dabao covered his mouth and snickered when he saw his father being so sensible. Geng Zhiye stuffed clothes into his bag and glared at his son: "I'll sell you when I get to the car tomorrow."
Dabao shook his head: "Mom tied my hand with a rope. You can't sell it. Mom, I will let you tie it tomorrow."
Ye Fan: "When did you not let me tie you up? Geng Dabao, aren't you tired from playing at my uncle's house for a long time today?"
Dabao is not tired, because when Dabao is tired, he sits down and rests for a while. Unlike when I went to his nanny's house a few days ago, I couldn't take a rest until I was tired halfway through the walk. The ground was too hot, and his butt was already cooked as soon as I sat down.
Dabao heard that his mother's patience was at its limit: "Mom, I don't want to sleep with my sister. Erbao is not honest when sleeping."
Ye Fan: "You two are the same, don't dislike the other. She sleeps sideways in the morning, and you turn your head around in the morning. Also, the bed is so wide, you can sleep sideways, but you can't have one at the end of the bed and the other at the head. ?”
Dabao nodded: "Okay. But I will encounter daddy's stinky feet at the end of the bed. How many days has daddy not washed his feet?"
Geng Zhiye had just taken a shower: "Geng Dabao, how many days have I not beaten you?" He waved to Ye Fan, "Give me the belt."
Dabao looked at his dad with wide eyes and wondered, are you serious?
Ye Fan gave the belt to Geng Zhiye. Dabao was sure that his mother was serious: "Mom, I was wrong." He knelt on the bed and kowtowed to his mother: "I will go to bed immediately." Turn over and lie down and close his eyes.
It has been twenty days since the beginning of autumn. Although there are still autumn tigers, the autumn tigers do not care about the day but the night, and the night is already cool. Ye Fan said: "Cover with a towel and blanket."
Dabao got up, folded the towel blanket into a long strip, put it on his and his sister's stomachs, then turned to his mother and waited for instructions. Ye Fan nodded slightly, and Geng Dabao lay down obediently.
Geng Zhiye wanted to laugh when he saw this, but Ye Fan coughed. Geng Zhiye instinctively raised his head and asked, "Does your throat feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Fan mouthed: "Don't laugh."
Geng Zhiye nodded, he was also obedient, listened to his wife's words, and did not provoke Geng Dabao.
Considering that he had to get up early to catch the train tomorrow morning, Geng Zhiye packed his luggage and turned on the light.
The next day, Ye Fan heard a rustling sound in a daze. Ye Fan suspected there was a mouse, so he opened his eyes and closed them subconsciously - the room was too bright and blinding: "What time is it?"
Geng Zhiye: “It’s not even five o’clock yet.”
Ye Fan sat up and yawned: "Why did you get up so early?"
Geng Zhiye felt relaxed when he returned home, but the habits he had developed over the years made him subconsciously vigilant. The mother-in-law got up and opened the door, and Geng Zhiye woke up instantly: "Your mother is up. I'll go out and take a look. The old lady, Jue Shao, can also close her eyes and rest. Why are you getting up so early?" He tied his shoelaces and went out.
Ye Fan yawned again: "What else can you do? Give us pancakes. Just go out and tell mom to make enough for lunch and dinner. It's hot on the train and it will taste bad tomorrow."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "You can sleep a little longer." Afraid of waking Dabao and Erbao, he gently closed the door.
Ye Fan usually wakes up around five o'clock, but today it was only half an hour earlier than usual, so he was almost ready to get up. Ye Fan got dressed and looked around at the things in the house. After making sure that he had brought everything except toiletries and food for the road, he went out to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Tao Chunlan exclaimed when she saw Ye Fan coming out: "Why did you get up so early?"
Ye Fan was helpless and wanted to take a look at yourself.
Chen Xiaohui was woken up and came out of the room: "Weren't you earlier?"
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, Chen Xiaohui actually talked to her mother like this? It seems that she is not far away from taking advantage of Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping.
Tao Chunlan blurted out: "I feel younger when I am older."
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but say: "Keep your voices down. The neighbors were woken up by you."
The neighbor was not awakened. After he finished speaking, Li Mingyue came out of the room. When Tao Chunlan saw that except for her two children, all her family members had been woken up by her, she finally felt a little embarrassed: "You wash your face and brush your teeth, and I'll make the dough."
Ye Fan couldn't help but said: "Just pancakes. You really have time to make pancakes so early in the morning!"
Chen Xiaohui and Li Mingyue couldn't help but nod. Tao Chunlan saw this and said: "Don't you like to eat?"
Ye Fan: "Even if I only like to eat pancakes, I can't let my seventy-year-old mother get up in the middle of the night to make them for me."
"Who is seventy years old?" Tao Chunlan was very unhappy, "I am sixty-two. Don't think that I am the same as your father-in-law."
Ye Fan had a headache, why did she involve her father-in-law again? Where are they? "I was wrong. Let's make pancakes."
Tao Chunlan: "Come here and help me."
Li Mingyue was speechless. How could she help him spread pancakes? One person pours batter into the pot, and the other person holds a spatula and waits to turn it over. Really able to summon people! Li Mingyue turned to Ye Fan, saw that she was obediently walking over, and swallowed back her words - okay, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so she will get involved.
I really can’t blame Geng Zhiye for complaining that the old lady is annoying. She couldn't stand her own mother being like this. Fortunately, her mother-in-law only loves to torment the daughter she raised.
Chen Xiaohui is not a mind reader, otherwise she would have to give Li Mingyue a thumbs up.
Fortunately, she saw Tao Chunlan calling Ye Fan for everything in her previous life and thought Tao Chunlan was partial. Ye Fan responded to everything because he wanted to steal his mother from her.
I was really obsessed with it in my previous life! Chen Xiaohui sighed and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Geng Zhiye rolled his eyes towards the kitchen and went to the public toilet.
But even if Ye Fan said he could cook whatever he wanted, Tao Chunlan still used the rice cooker to cook the porridge. After the pancakes were ready, she cooked some salted duck eggs and prepared some side dishes, and the family had a serious breakfast.
Because it was still early, Chen Xiaohui and Li Mingyue also went to the station to see off Ye Fan.
Yu Wentao and Geng Zhiqin didn't show up this time because Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiqin to study hard at home and asked her mother-in-law to do the logistics work and not go to the east and west all day long.
It was still early to arrive at the station, so Li Mingyue and Chen Xiaohui waited with Ye Fan and his family for a while. Ye Fan wanted to talk to Chen Xiaohui about something, but the second baby was very energetic in the morning and couldn't sit still. Ye Fan asked her sister-in-law to watch the second baby.
Tao Chunlan thought Ye Fan was telling Chen Xiaohui not to sell things randomly, so she said, "The three of us can keep an eye on them."
Ye Fan took a few steps back, probably Geng Zhiye couldn't hear him: "Chen Xiaohui, do you remember you said that there is someone in Geng Zhiye's heart? I seem to have seen that person."
Chen Xiaohui was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment, and it took her a while to react: "When? Where? Who is it?"
Ye Fanxin asked why you are more anxious than me: "Uncle Geng Zhiye's neighbor's daughter is called Qin Shuyi. I met her when I went to his uncle's house."
Chen Xiaohui frowned, are they still childhood sweethearts? No wonder I never forget it. "What are you going to do?"
Ye Fan was immediately sure that Chen Xiaohui knew that there was such a person, but he didn't know who he was. Most likely Comrade Qin Shuyi said to the outside world that she was forced to marry Geng Zhiye because of her family background, or that Geng Zhiye was forced by his father and stepmother to marry her. The rumors spread, and it reached Chen Xiaohui's ears that Geng Zhiye had someone on his mind.
Ye Fan: "Actually, you misunderstood. Qin Shuyi and Geng Zhiye have known each other since childhood, so there is something wrong with why they won't go on a blind date with me. This is Qin Shuyi's wishful thinking." Chen Xiaohui frowned slightly: "But, no, are you sure it's Qin Shuyi?"
Ye Fan: "Geng Zhiye went to the military academy at the age of seventeen, and has been on the border defense line ever since, with only gay men around him. To say the least, there are many female classmates in his alma mater, but what can be spread in the military academy?"
Chen Xiaohui shook her head subconsciously, unless Geng Zhiye said it himself. It seems that Geng Zhiye would not take the initiative to mention such a thing if he is too cute. Or there was a classmate in the military academy who happened to be from the capital. He also happened to know that Geng Zhiye had someone in his heart and told his family or friends when he went home to visit relatives. But it's too much of a coincidence.
Ye Fan: "Qin Shuyi is only three years younger than Geng Zhiye. Now you can get a marriage certificate at the age of eighteen. Qin Shuyi went to a technical secondary school and went to work at the post office at the age of eighteen. Geng Zhiye graduated from college at the age of twenty-one. They have something together. As soon as Geng Zhiye graduated Just He wanted to marry her. His uncle’s neighbor’s daughter knew everything about her, and there was no reason for her family to object. My father-in-law had not yet retired, and my mother-in-law had not yet thought of finding a daughter-in-law with a high family status for him, for fear that her daughter-in-law would bully her.” >
Yu Wentao is afraid of Ye Fan. Chen Xiaohui saw it with her own eyes and heard it from Comrade Tao Chunlan. If it weren't for Geng Zhiqin's future, Yu Wentao wouldn't ask Geng Zhiye to go on a blind date with Ye Fan.
Chen Xiaohui wondered if it happened later.
Geng Zhiye was twenty-six years old when he went on a blind date with Ye Fan. The person he liked was met when he was twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. But is it possible? Chen Xiaohui thought about it carefully and realized it was possible. The border guards have no contact with the outside world all year round. Soldiers in their twenties and seventies may not see as many women as young people in their twenties.
So because she chose to go to the countryside and Ye Fan got married early, she indirectly cut off the romance of Geng Zhiye's previous life? Then Geng Zhiye had to thank her - he was alone for half his life in his previous life, but he has two children in this life.
Seeing Chen Xiaohui frowning and smiling, Ye Fan thought to himself that Geng Zhiye was right, and she was mumbling: "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Xiaohui smiled: "It's nothing. If you laugh at me, it will be like rain."
"Then when you see him in the future, your nose is not his nose, and his face is not his face. If you talk about him in front of me, and he complains in front of me because of your attitude, I will be like a sandwich biscuit." Ye Fanduo was afraid of being so talkative. She was not in the middle of the day, and the two of them, who were disgusted with each other, began to have sex.
Chen Xiaohui frowned: "He is still complaining? The old man is so petty."
Ye Fan immediately wanted to ask, does a man deserve to be generous? No matter how generous you are, you will tear his family apart. Besides, one is the father of her child and her husband, and the other is only connected to the Ye family. No matter from which aspect, she should be facing Geng Zhiye.
Does Chen Xiaohui understand the meaning of closeness and distance?
Ye Fan: "Don't interfere with other people's husband and wife affairs in the future. I'm afraid you will be beaten."
Something happened to Chen Xiaohui, and it was inconvenient for her father and brother to come forward. Her sister-in-law was pregnant, and her mother had to be busy.
Ye Fan imagined that an old lady in her 60s or 70s was running around for this trouble, and felt unhappy: "Aren't you going to take the college entrance examination? Don't wander around. I heard from my mother that this year you were almost never at home on weekends. Stayed all day.”
Chen Xiaohui wanted to show off how many gadgets she had got, but when she saw Ye Fan's serious expression: "I'm reading in the morning and evening."
Ye Fan: "Don't be careless. It has been more than ten years. No one knows the mentality of the person who asked the question. It may be simple at the beginning but tricky at the back. The question is simple, but the answer is profound."
Chen Xiaohui wanted to say that she heard Ye Fan say in her previous life that the test paper was not difficult. But it's not difficult for Ye Fan's mind, but not necessarily for her. "I won't go anywhere on weekends from now on."
Ye Fan has another question: "I heard that my sister-in-law is planning to have a child? Isn't she not going to give birth?"
Chen Xiaohui could answer this question in her previous life: "There used to be revolutions every day, and my sister-in-law didn't want her children to suffer as soon as they were born. The college entrance examination will be resumed, and the higher authorities clearly stated that the 'revolution is over', and the world is peaceful. My sister-in-law is not very old, and she said that Dabao The second baby is smart and fun, so I just want to have one.”
Ye Fan rubbed his forehead: "Having a child is like looking for antiques. Whether you are smart or not depends on your luck. Dabao and second treasure look sensible, but my sister-in-law doesn't know that Dabao wanted to climb trees when he was five or six years old, and now he wants to go to the sea every day. Also, Before, my mother-in-law took them back to her parents’ home. Did I tell you that Erbao was only five years old and she dared to hide it from me?”
"Then you still have two children?" Chen Xiaohui had wanted to ask for a long time, because Ye Fan had only one child in his previous life.
Ye Fan: "First of all, Dabao was sensible when he was a child. I didn't suffer anything when I was pregnant with him. Secondly, my mother took care of him and drank milk powder. He was picked up by my father-in-law on weekends. I have never taken care of children. Now on the island, they go to school during the day. Sooner or later, Geng Zhiye will help. Can my sister-in-law have the heart to leave the child to her mother?”
Chen Xiaohui felt that Li Mingyue was reluctant to let go.
Ye Fan: "Go back and persuade her. I'm afraid that the baby will be different from what she imagined and she will collapse."
Chen Xiaohui nodded and noticed Li Mingyue coming towards her: "We should go to work."
Ye Fan looked at his watch and saw that there was still half an hour before the train started. After the two of them went out, Ye Fan went to her mother and told her to go home.
Tao Chunlan had nothing to do when she returned home, so she told her to wait a little longer. After Ye Fan got on the bus, Tao Chunlan slowly walked out of the station. When Tao Chunlan arrived outside the station, the train also started. Geng Zhiye lay on the berth with his arms as pillow, looked at Ye Fan opposite and said, "Your mother is really good at grinding."
Dabao nodded: "It's the same as seeing each other on the 18th."
Ye Fan didn't hear clearly: "Same as what?"
Dabao covered his mouth and squeezed into his father's arms.
Geng Zhiye quickly stretched out his hand to clasp his eldest son who was sitting on his stomach: "You have squeezed out my breakfast!"
Ye Fan took off her coat and got on the berth, letting Erbao sleep on her coat, and asked Geng Zhiye: "What did he say?"
Geng Zhiye: "Geng Dabao, did your grandma ever sing 'Eighteen Farewell'?"
Yu Wentao's success in joining the art troupe was not only due to her height and looks, she also had a good voice. It's a pity that the art troupe is not short of iron-lunged lark. After she joined, she changed from a talented person to an ordinary person. After giving birth to Geng Zhiqin, she went to the background.
Yu Wentao joined the art troupe not for flowers and applause, but for food and clothing. So from the front to the backstage, there hasn't been much change for her.
In those ten years, Yu Wentao didn't dare to sing. In the past two years, the policy has been loose, so she sang whatever came to her mind. He hums when cooking and hums when doing laundry. Geng Zhiye had heard it several times during his several days at home.
Ye Fan was surprised: "She can also perform Shaoxing opera?"
Geng Zhiye: "She knows the words and uses them smoothly. As a musical actor, she used to sing Henan Opera at home every day. My eldest brother privately said that she wouldn't last long if she didn't do her job properly. Sure enough, she was transferred to the background within a few years."
Ye Fan: "...The leader is annoying her, right?"
Geng Zhiye thought about it carefully: "I haven't heard her mention it. But seeing as she is retiring immediately at the age of fifty, she probably doesn't like that job very much."
Ye Fan: "Maybe I don't want to work."
Geng Zhiye: “Maybe the street office is her battlefield.”
Ye Fan suddenly wanted to laugh.
Dabao couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Ye Fan: "The street aunt deals with family affairs and is the best fit for you."
Dabao nodded: "My grandma is good at breaking up fights."
Ye Fan opened his mouth and thought to himself that I didn't praise your breasts. "Do you want to go up there and sleep for a while? Don't sit on your dad's belly. Your belly will be flattened by you sitting on it."
Dabao didn’t want to be alone: “Dad, your legs are shorter, I’ll sit on the other side.”
Don’t you mind my smelly feet? Geng Zhiye put his legs away helplessly. Dabao went to the other end and pushed his father's leg again: "Take it back."
Geng Zhiye wanted to kick him: "I have long legs!"
Dabao didn't believe it. He knelt down and sat up to take a look. It seemed that it was true. "Dad, can I grow as tall as you in the future?"
"Just shut up and rest."
Dabao snorted and saw his sister on the bed opposite: "Mom, pick me up."
Ye Fan carried him over. Dabao and his sister finally didn't have to cross their legs in the same sleeper: "Mom, you and dad should be together."
Ye Fan opened the window and turned around to see Dabao lying in Erbao's ear and saying something. Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and went to lie down on the berth above.
Fortunately, there were few people traveling at this time, and there were only four of them in the sleeper workshop—sleeping in whichever of the six sleepers they wanted to sleep in.
Even though there was only a family of four in the carriage and they could lie down at night, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye were still tired. Firstly, they did not dare to sleep too deeply for fear that people getting off the train would take away their luggage. Secondly, the sleeper berth was too narrow to turn over. The car smells bad, it's noisy and noisy, and sleeping and waking up again is just as uncomfortable as staying awake all the time.
When the train arrived at the station, Ye Fan held Erbao in his arms, and Geng Zhiye carried his luggage and stared at Dabao. Dabao was tired from walking, and Geng Zhiye wanted to hug him. As a result, a family of four arrived home. The two children were very energetic, and the parents were exhausted for half their lives. .
When Dabao and Erbao saw that their parents looked bad, they drank some water and hid away.
Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye managed to cheer up, boil some water, take a bath, put on clean clothes, and the couple rested on a bench.
Zhuang Qiuyue carried a basket of vegetables to the door and saw the two of them, one with their heads facing south and the other facing north, listless, as if they were seriously ill: "Are you not feeling well?"
Ye Fan felt better after resting for a while: "No. The first and second babies are now older, and I almost died from exhaustion while carrying them around. No matter what my mother says next year, I will never go back."
Zhuang Qiuyue: "No wonder they are not tired at all."
Ye Fan: "On the boat -" He looked at Geng Zhiye, "He wetted the towel with sea water and wiped their arms and faces. I was also worried that the sea water was so salty that Dabao and Erbao would feel uncomfortable. As a result, they were more energetic. ”
Zhuang Qiuyue put the vegetable basket on the coffee table: "The water on your body doesn't have much salt. It's more comfortable than sweat wrapped around your body. Do you still have rice at home?"
Ye Fan: "There are bread and biscuits in the bag. You also gave me tomatoes and cucumbers. Just eat some and you'll be full." Thinking of something, Ye Fan kicked Geng Zhiye.
Geng Zhiye didn't know why. Ye Fan looked at Zhuang Qiuyue and said, "Miao Miao."
Zhuang Qiuyue asked curiously: "What's wrong with Miaomiao?"
Geng Zhiye remembered: "It's a small matter. I'll tell the political commissar later and ask the political commissar to tell you."
But Geng Zhiye will have to stay at home for a few more days. When school starts, he registers the names of Dabao and Erbao, and the vacation ends.
At this moment, many people in the capital have heard the news. The people on the island don't know anything yet. So much so that when Geng Zhiye went to the army to talk to Commander Niu, Political Commissar Liao and others about the college entrance examination, everyone looked shocked.
Geng Zhiye ignored them and continued: "This matter can be disclosed. If someone complains that as a soldier, you don't know the specific time and talked nonsense, don't pull me out to block the gun."
Political Commissar Liao pondered for a moment: "I have an old chief, and his son seems to be in the education system. I sent a telegram to ask."
The telegram was quick, only a week back and forth.
Political Commissar Liao confirmed the matter and revealed it to his comrades.
Geng Zhiye returned home and told Ye Fan that the college entrance examination was settled. Ye Fan asked Su Yuanhang to notify the ten production team captains to hold a meeting and talk about "resuming the college entrance examination." At the end of the meeting, Ye Fan asked Su Yuanhang if he wanted to take the college entrance examination.
Su Yuanhang smiled bitterly: "I'll forget it, my children are in elementary school."
Ye Fan: "These days, after graduating from junior high school, you go to the countryside. Aren't the high school students from your high school class and your next two high school students the same? You have children, and they must have started a family. If you don't want to be far away from home, you can go I’m going to college in Hangzhou. If you don’t have time to come back, your wife can come over and see you.”
The captain of the Lotus Brigade was the first to nod: "Yes. If you pass the exam, you will be the first college student on our island after the founding of the People's Republic of China. If you honor your ancestors, we can also get some glory."
Ye Fan: "Anyway, I've said this. It's up to you to decide the details. However, you can't delay your work. The Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner, and I've been stocking up on goods for several months just waiting for this day." After a pause, "This is the only thing I want to ask you for today. It’s time to call it a day!”
Everyone subconsciously went out. Outside, Su Yuanhang thought that he still had work, so he came back: "Accountant Ye, the factory has been under construction for half a month. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "I will receive the goods here, and you will be responsible for that. By the way, you don't need to consult your family about the college entrance examination. Your wife definitely doesn't want to be separated from you. Your mother listens to your father. Your father is old. Without knowledge, my mind becomes more and more stubborn every day, just like an iron tool that has not been used all year round.”
Su Yuanhang laughed and nodded to show that he remembered. But when he got home, he told his father about it. He couldn't do it, otherwise his father would scold him for not doing his job.
As expected, his father did not support him on the grounds that he would not be able to pass the exam if he had been away from school for many years. The first thing his wife said was that if he passed the exam, he could not go to college elsewhere.
Su Yuanhang said that Su Yuncheng had to take the exam after graduating from junior high school. If he passed the exam and he failed, it would be too shameful.
The word "face" pierced Su's father's lungs. Even if he thought Su Yuncheng was not good, he went out to ask around and found that everyone who had attended junior high school was planning to give it a try. Su's father couldn't sit still and decided the next day to let Su Yuanhang prepare for the exam. He would go over and keep an eye on the factory work when he had time.
Zhuang Qiuyue, like Su Yuanhang's father, also believed that her child was not good. The reason was that Liao Miaomiao graduated from junior high school but failed to pass the high school entrance examination, so her preparation was useless.
Liao Miaomiao went to Ye Fan's house to wipe her tears and asked Ye Fan to help her give her advice.
Ye Fan sighed, and Liao Miaomiao suddenly cried. Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh: "I didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry? It's useless for me to persuade your mother. Because in your mother's opinion, it's easy for me to get into college. To put it bluntly, no matter what I say, it will change. It becomes 'standing and talking without backache'"
Liao Miaomiao: "Are you going to take the test? I'll forget about it."
Ye Fan: "I have no intention of becoming a scientist, nor do I intend to serve the people. The job assigned after passing the exam is similar to what it is now." I added in my mind that I learned enough in my previous life.
Liao Miaomiao: "Then what should I do? After my mother told me, my father also thought that my preparation for the exam was too whimsical, and it would be embarrassing if I failed."
Ye Fan also wanted to ask her to find her father, but she didn't expect her mother to be so awesome. "Your mother is stupid." Why didn't I see it before? "This way, I'll tell you who to look for."
