Chapter 116 Taking the Exam
Ye Xiaomei was stunned, and was instantly brought back to reality.
She took one more look at the campus where she would take the exam tomorrow, lowered her head and said, "Can you bear to give it up? They are twins."
With the signature of a family member, the certificate can be issued smoothly. Xiao Mei knew that in fact, with the reform and opening up of ideas in the past two years, abortion is no longer as feudal as when her mother was a child. In addition, family planning is now advocated, and fewer births and respect for democratic ideas are supported. As long as Ma Qijun is willing to sign, she can have the operation at any time.
"..." Ma Qijun was petrified, his eyes wandering around the woman's head, searching for a place to rest. Twins? Her wife was pregnant with twins?
"Xiao Mei, you..."
Ma Qijun's hands trembled a few times and he was at a loss. He felt distressed as he thought of the scene of women going to school with big bellies in the future.
Ye Xiaomei's eyes were already filled with tears: "Brother Ma, I still can't bear to part with them. These are our children, and we have two of them. I also wanted to give them up at first, but... I, I couldn't bear it anymore."
Seeing her miserable expression, Ma Qijun had no other thoughts. He squatted down and looked up at his wife:
"What if I'm not home and can't take care of you?"
Ye Xiaomei shook her head: "I can take care of myself. My mother was still plowing the fields the day before my sister was born. Besides, I have an exam tomorrow and I want to go to school. Studying is easier than farming. Besides, if I fail the exam, it means God has destined me to go back to my hometown to farm and raise children. If I pass the exam, I..."
In fact, Ye Xiaomei didn't know what to do.
Ma Qijun didn't say anything, but there was a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. His wife was pregnant with two people at once. This was an unprecedented number of twins in Meihua Village.
"Well, once you've made your decision, I'll take care of it." Ma Qijun said decisively.
"Really? Then I... Then I can take the exam tomorrow. Look how beautiful the school is." Tears were still streaming down Ye Xiaomei's face. She turned around and pointed at the conifer tree in the middle of the snow:
"Look, the trees are covered with layers of snow. They look very pretty."
Ma Qijun understood his wife at that moment. She really wanted to study.
…………
Inside the hotel.
Ye Xiaomei looked around helplessly: "Brother Ma, this hotel is much more expensive than the guesthouse. We can choose to stay in the guesthouse."
Ma Qijun looked at the woman's serious expression, especially the seriousness in her grape-like eyes:
"A hotel is better than a hostel. It's sanitary and cleaner. The soundproofing is also better. You need to get a good night's sleep because you have an exam tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, Ma Qijun took off his military jacket and asked seriously, "If there is anything you don't understand, tell me and I can teach you."
Ye Xiaomei lowered her head suddenly. This man had been with her for the whole day, but he had never mentioned anything about himself in the conversation. It was all about Xiaomei. He even bought her a pen, draft paper, and a pencil case today.
"Or, you...you go find where our mother is first, in case something happens..." She would feel bad.
Seeing how much the man loved her, Ye Xiaomei's anger towards Wang Lan subsided a lot. Perhaps having a backer to warm one's heart can always resolve many conflicts. After all, Wang Lan is her lover's biological mother.
Ma Qijun reacted very calmly: "Nothing will happen to him. Heizi has already asked Sanmao to arrange for him to be found. There is still no news at this point. I'm afraid he has settled down at my sister's house."
"..." Ye Xiaomei stared at the man in amazement. He was now naked. It was winter! Ye Xiaomei actually discovered that he was wearing a white collar shirt under his military uniform.
Aren’t you cold?
Ye Xiaomei looked Ma Qijun's body up and down. Could it be that a body full of muscular muscles could resist the cold?
Gulp! Ye Xiaomei swallowed. The tendon meat always gave people a strong and powerful feeling. The hot impression left by the skin contact immediately came to her mind.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to sleep?" Ma Qijun saw his wife standing there with her hands clenched like a quail about to fight.
The military coat wrapped around her made her look like a ball, which made people want to laugh.
"No, I'm going to sleep now..." Ye Xiaomei was about to unbutton her clothes: "Are you not going to look for mom?"
Ma Qijun looked at his silly wife, dialed the yellowed landline phone on the bedside, fumbled for the card he took out from his military uniform, inserted it, and dialed a number.
“Beep…beep…beep…beep!”
Someone started talking over there.
Ma Qijun put his hands under his head, his armpit hair was shiny black with the testosterone:
"Sister, I, Qijun, and my mom will stay with you."
——How dare you say that? You didn’t know your wife ran away. Mom even found me.
"knew."
After pressing it, the voice on the other end of the phone was interrupted.
Ye Xiaomei's eyes sparkled: "You are so right."
"..." Ma Qijun was stunned for a moment: "Go to sleep peacefully."
The next morning, students from all directions who came to take the exam gathered outside the gate of Chaocheng No. 11 Middle School. Their ages were very diverse. There were transfer students like Ye Xiaomei, as well as older students who dropped out of school for various reasons and had to retook the exam.
As a result, Ma Qijun had to park his car in an open space at a four-way intersection and take Ye Xiaomei to school on foot.
"Check, check, don't forget to bring anything." Ma Qijun reminded.
Ye Xiaomei stretched her neck to look inside the school, her heart surging with excitement. She thought that so many people must be as happy as she was to be back on campus.
"Okay, I'll check it out."
Ye Xiaomei took out the admission ticket certificate from the cloth bag, checked the draft paper, opened the pencil case and checked everything.
She had three fountain pens and a ballpoint pen. Originally, Ye Xiaomei wanted to save money and said she only needed to buy a bottle of spare ink, but the man said that if the test questions were particularly complicated, it would take time to change the ink, and what if the only fountain pen broke? It would be better to buy a few more pens.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't resist. Looking at her rich pencil case, she could smile even in her dreams: "I've checked it, Brother Ma. Everything is there. You can go back first."
"Well, study hard." Ma Qijun was about to turn around.
The student flow was obviously split apart by the people rushing around. Wang Lan, who was far away, pushed the crowds aside and ran towards this side. She shouted in a loud voice like a megaphone:
"Good girl, Xiao Mei, I knew I could stop you here. What are you doing? Is there any daughter-in-law as disobedient as you? How can I, as your mother-in-law, let you down..."
"Mom, please go slower, there are so many people here." Following behind him was a woman in her thirties, with the most popular curly perm in the city.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly took a breath of cool air: "Brother Ma... our mother!"
Ma Qijun was the first to see it. Seeing his mother rushing over to grab Ye Xiaomei's hand, the woman hid behind him in fear:
"Xiao Mei, go in first, don't waste time."
"Okay!" If Ye Xiaomei didn't run now, when would she run?
"Mom, calm down." Ma Qijun spread out his arms, and it was no problem for him to hold back Wang Lan, a woman.
Wang Lan gnashed her teeth in anger: "Ye Xiaomei, if you dare to take the exam, I will pretend that you are not my daughter-in-law. Qijun, you are used to her, do you still care about me as your mother?"
Seeing that Ye Xiaomei had disappeared with the crowd of students, Wang Lan could only turn around and scold her son.
Ma Qijun's elder sister Ma Qihong heard about her younger brother's wife last night. Where can she find such a good mother-in-law? She is simply holding Ye Xiaomei in her palm and loving her. She also feels that her conscience has been fed to the dog for her mother.
"That's right, Qijun, you are too outrageous. Your wife is pregnant and she insists on going to school. You are just following her lead. Look how angry my mother is. She didn't sleep all night yesterday."
