Chapter 81 Who doesn’t have a dream?
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaomei still didn't say anything.
Wang Juan had already reached the intersection on her way home. She was holding her bicycle and looking at the soft back, feeling upset.
This Ye Xiaomei has a really weird personality, just like a toad drinking glue, her mouth can't be pried open no matter what.
Ye Xiaomei just didn't want to pay attention to her. Although she still didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to get close to her, the kind of person who turned away from her friends after so many years was not much better.
As soon as I got home, I heard my mother-in-law calling me through the low wall:
"Xiao Mei, the army is coming back to eat today. This trip is done. Come and help me add some firewood, and we can start eating soon."
Ye Xiaomei rolled up her sleeves and went into the company room. She saw a plate of braised pork and a pot of chicken soup on the chopping board. Xiaomei felt completely exhausted.
In the past half month, Ye Xiaomei has had a bowl of chicken soup every day, which is her standard.
My mother-in-law said that if I get better, I can give birth to a baby weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the whole family of the Ye family will be jealous of me.
Happiness came so suddenly that Ye Xiaomei almost vomited.
"It will be cooler in two days. Mom plans to buy a dozen more chicks. When they grow up, they will be kept for you to nourish your body during your confinement." Wang Lan said happily while scooping the bottom of the pot.
Upon hearing that it was chicken again, Ye Xiaomei burped. The bowl of chicken soup she drank at noon still had a smell in it.
At this time, the voice of the village lama came: "Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, the adult teachers transferred from the city have been assigned to the county. Tomorrow, the teachers will be assigned to our Meihua Village. Everyone, please pay attention. Tomorrow is the first day of night school. If you want to register, hurry up and come to the brigade headquarters. Bring your household registration book...Fellow villagers, please pay attention... bring your household registration book."
Ye Xiaomei's eyes lit up, it seemed that what Huihui said was true.
After dinner, Ye Xiaomei sat in front of Ma Qijun's desk with shining eyes, unable to suppress her inner excitement:
"Brother Ma, I can sign up for night school tomorrow."
When Ma Qijun came back today, he also heard the loudspeaker's voice, but he didn't think of his wife:
"you?"
"Well, I want to go to school." This is the biggest regret in her life.
Ma Qijun was wearing shorts and a white vest, revealing his muscular arms. He folded his arms and looked down at the woman:
"This is not a class for the illiterate. Night colleges require a basic knowledge base. They were established for those who missed the college entrance examination during the Cultural Revolution. You need to have at least a high school education, or at least a junior high school education."
"I know. Huihui told me."
Ye Xiaomei's grape-like eyes glowed brightly, as if an entire galaxy was hidden in them, and it was difficult to conceal her excitement and longing for knowledge.
Ma Qijun scratched his head: "Do you really want to learn?"
"Yeah." Ye Xiaomei nodded vigorously, as if this matter was already a fact that was nailed down and no one could change it.
"Well, okay, let's give it a try." That look made Ma Qijun reluctant to refuse: "I think I can find some textbooks for you to study at home first."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaomei's eyes flashed with childlike innocence. She stood up and raised her hands to wrap around the man's neck:
"That's great, thank you, Brother Ma."
Ma Qijun couldn't help laughing, raised his hand to brush away the hair on her eyebrows, and said in an awkward tone:
"What if the mother still wants to have a grandson?"
Ye Xiaomei's smile disappeared instantly, she gradually loosened her arms, and paced back and forth thoughtfully:
"Yeah, if I can really pass the exam, I can't take my child to school with me, what should I do?"
Ma Qijun's heart melted when he saw the girl thinking hard: "Just kidding, leave it to me. Just focus on what you want to do."
"Ah? Then how are you going to tell Mom?" Ye Xiaomei was touched, but also worried about the man.
"Isn't there a report?"
When Ma Qijun said this, Ye Xiaomei was filled with black lines on her forehead.
Sure enough, Ye Xiaomei went to register early the next morning with her household registration booklet.
I didn't expect that there were so many young people who wanted to take the college entrance examination in the yard of the brigade headquarters, even Liang Hui came.
But it is no wonder, Liang Hui arrived at the most unfortunate time. The Cultural Revolution began the second year after Ma Qijun was admitted to the Military Academy, and he happened to arrive at that critical juncture.
As for Huihui, it was even more of a coincidence that she happened to take the exam the year the college entrance examination was resumed.
Sometimes, Ye Xiaomei felt that these coincidences were just like fate.
But why did Ye Hu come back so quickly? Didn't he drop out of school because he played around in the fifth year of primary school? It seems that what Brother Ma said about having a junior high school or high school diploma is still not going to be relaxed.
The person in charge of registration is Liang Guodong. The young man in a white shirt next to him should be the adult teacher sent by the higher-ups this time.
He is about thirty years old, dressed neatly, and is cleaner and fairer than the people in the countryside. Now, he is flipping through a book to test the knowledge level of those who have registered.
When Ye Xiaomei finished registering and came out, she ran into Ye Xiaolin as soon as she left the yard. To be honest, Xiaomei's first reaction was to be shocked.
I haven't seen Ye Xiaolin for half a month. She has become very thin, her face is dull and her eyes are lifeless. It feels like she has aged several years in an instant.
Ye Xiaomei subconsciously moved her gaze downward to her belly.
Obviously, Ye Xiaolin was also surprised to see her here, holding the household registration booklet in her hand: "You are the only one who comes to night school?"
"Yeah." Ye Xiaomei turned around and left without further explanation.
His arm suddenly tightened, and Ye Xiaolin grabbed it: "You are already married, and Ma Qijun is so willing to let you study? You should know that if you study well, it's fine, but if you don't study well, it's not just a simple matter of embarrassment, you may even lose your family."
It was the first time that Ye Xiaomei had heard Ye Xiaolin speak in such a gentle tone, but the meaning of these words was always mocking:
"I know I'm not as educated as you, but that doesn't mean I can't learn well. How can you know if you don't try?"
The corner of Ye Xiaolin's mouth twitched and hatred flashed in his eyes.
Ye Xiaomei, you always look so nonchalant and indifferent. Do you know that you are really annoying when you look like this?
"What a coincidence?" Wang Juan.
Ye Xiaomei's arm was finally released, and Ye Xiaolin raised the corners of his mouth in a way that made her look like she was not a nose or a face:
"You're already working, why are you still joining in the fun?"
Wang Juan rode her bike and consciously stood next to Ye Xiaomei: "Yes, Xiaolin, Xiaomei, you haven't been to the county for a long time."
Ye Xiaolin frowned. She and Wang Juan were good friends and classmates who grew up wearing the same pants.
"Well, I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been to the county very often." Rabbits need to be separated into cages when they grow up, and sheep need to excrete feces every day. Ye Xiaomei is afraid that her mother will get tired by herself, so she goes to help her every day.
"Director Li asked me to enroll in the night school, saying that improving my academic qualifications would help me get a permanent job, so I am here to study as ordered." Wang Juan turned her back to Ye Xiaolin and happily told Ye Xiaomei some jokes about the hospital:
"You don't know, a few days ago our hospital hired an orthopedic doctor from the city with a high salary. Director Li also said that he would invite Ma Qijun to come for a follow-up consultation in the next two days. Will you go then?"
Ye Xiaolin's face was drawn, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When did your relationship become so good? Could it be..."
Ye Xiaolin hadn't finished her sarcastic words when she suddenly squatted down slowly, holding her stomach. Then, her face turned from blue to purple and she fell to the ground with a bang.
She was wearing floral shorts and soon started to bleed.
"Oh, someone has fainted."
"Xiao Lin, you are bleeding. Xiao Mei, please help her. She may be at risk of miscarriage." The obstetrics and gynecology nurse could tell the situation at a glance with her professional level.
For a moment, the compound was in chaos, after all, human lives were at stake.
Liang Guodong stood up and saw that Ye Xiaolin's trousers were soaked with blood. "Quick, Dahui, go home and drive the tractor to rush the person to the hospital."
Ye Xiaomei's mind also buzzed: "Wang Juan, lay her down."
