While Shen Xiaobei was happily staying at the Duan family for the New Year, Duan Xichuan also had a happy event in the army.
He was promoted to battalion commander before the New Year, and Chen Guohua was promoted to deputy battalion commander.
After he informed the Duan family of this in a letter, the Duan family celebrated the Spring Festival that year more festively than any other family in the Heishui Brigade.
After staying at Duan's house until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiaobei took Shui En and Mu En back to her parents' home.
After staying at her mother's house for three days, she returned to the military compound.
When the mother and son returned to the compound, Wang Yisan had already brought Chen Xiong from her parents' home.
Although they had not seen each other for only the Spring Festival holiday, the two women hugged each other tacitly and touchingly as soon as they met, and they were reluctant to let go for a long time when they thought of the time they spent together in the disaster area.
"You stinky woman, you're finally back?"
"You too!"
"It's great that we can be neighbors again!"
"Well, I can insult you every day, and I can also be insulted by you every day!"
"Haha, a little loss makes us closer and happier!"
When I returned to the compound, life seemed to have returned to the time before that special year of 1976, simple, fulfilling and happy.
However, for Shen Xiaobei, there is now one more important thing to do every day, which is to review the supplementary teaching materials for middle school and high school.
Although she had a bachelor's degree before she traveled through time, the content of the college entrance examination must have been very different due to the different times.
She still didn't dare to take this year's college entrance examination too lightly.
Every day during the day, as long as Shuien and Muen had their lunch break, she would stay with them and quietly read books and do exercises.
She did this secretly.
She didn't tell Wang Yishan, Rao Junxia, Lin Aili and Duan Xichuan. When Wang Yishan and the others came over and saw her reading or writing, they thought she was just busy writing.
She was taking care of her children, writing a book, preparing for the college entrance exam, and having a love affair with Duan Xichuan at the same time.
Such an exciting, tense, fulfilling, busy and diverse life made Shen Xiaobei feel that this year passed by particularly quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it is October, the golden autumn.
In the latter part of this month, news about the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially released nationwide.
It caused a great sensation both among the people and in the army.
When Duan Xichuan heard the news, he came back from the army and said to Shen Xiaobei excitedly: “Girl, I didn’t expect that the college entrance examination would be released suddenly after being suspended for so many years!”
"Are you happy if I let you go?"
"Of course I'm happy. From now on, Beihai, Shuien, Muen, Xien and others will all be able to take the university entrance exam normally. This is such a happy event."
"Not only will these young people be able to take the college entrance exam normally in the future, but we can too!"
"Girl, what do you mean? You don't want to take the college entrance examination this year, do you?"
"Well, if I say I do want to participate, would you support or oppose it?"
Shen Xiaobei asked, looking at Duan Xichuan half seriously and half jokingly.
Although she had already made up her mind, she must take part in this year's college entrance examination.
However, this is not just her business after all, it is also a common matter for her and Duan Xichuan's small family, and it is a big deal.
It is necessary to persuade him to support you before the exam, and it is also the respect you should show to your husband.
"Girl, are you serious or are you just asking jokingly?"
"you guess."
"You little bitch, guess what, are you really serious?"
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush. The college entrance exam is only a little over a month away. Yes, I'm serious. I wonder if Mr. Duan supports your wife taking the college entrance exam and going to a university in another city for four years?"
Shen Xiaobei put away his joking expression and asked seriously.
"Girl, if you go to college in another place, what will happen to Shui En and Mu En?"
"I've thought about how they'll arrange it, and it would be best if they could come with me. University classes aren't always packed, so I should still have some time to spend with them."
"Of course, I can't raise them by myself. I'd like to ask Mom to come over and help take care of them for four years. But I'd have to ask you to talk to Mom about this."
"Girl, it seems like you've planned everything out, and you're very confident that you can get into college, right?"
"Yes. Are you a little unhappy?"
Shen Xiaobei looked at Duan Xichuan with a hint of uneasiness.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's my wife, you've simply shocked me to the point where I don't know what to say. Honey, I knew you were ambitious, but I didn't know you were so ambitious!"
"Is it bad to be ambitious? Can't a married woman be ambitious?"
"No, of course it's not bad, it's just that it's beyond your husband's imagination."
"So do you support me?"
"Of course I support you. As long as you want to do something, your husband is willing to support you. But if you go to college in another city, we will have to live apart, and we will be separated for four years."
"Girl, we've been separated for four years, more than a thousand days and nights. Are you willing to be separated from your husband for that long?"
When Duan Xichuan asked this question, there was a look of grievance in his eyes.
I also feel a little sad. Most other people's wives complain that their husbands spend too little time with them.
His wife, on the other hand, took the initiative to live apart from him for four years.
He felt that he had married a strong woman who was too independent. He was depressed and wished his wife was a clingy and vulgar woman.
"Of course I'm reluctant!"
