Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Qing's belly began to show. Because of her experience with twins, she quickly discovered that there was something wrong with her belly.
"I've done so many good things that God is rushing to give me children. This time, it's likely to be two."
Lin Cuixin was extremely happy. She also discovered that her daughter-in-law's belly was a little different from that of a normal pregnant woman.
"How about I go to the hospital with you to check it out?"
Ye Qing nodded. "You stay at home and look after the children. I will go there by myself tomorrow morning. It is not convenient to take care of two children."
Lin Cuixin thought about it and said, "Then you should watch out for cars on the road and walk close to the roadside."
Ye Qing agreed with a smile. Every time she was pregnant, her mother-in-law always treated her like a child. How could she, an adult at her age, not know these things?
——
"You may have two or three babies this time."
???
"Doctor, what do you mean? Three?"
Ye Qing's brain froze for a moment. This was really unexpected!
The doctor smiled and said, "Our medical level is limited here, and you are not pregnant yet, so I am not sure whether it is triplets, but it is definitely not one."
At this time, not to mention their small county town, even the hospitals in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai did not have B-ultrasound technology. It was not until the late 1980s that it became popular, so the examination depended entirely on the doctor's many years of professional experience.
"Wait two months and come back for another checkup. By then you'll be able to tell how many there are. Go home and take good care of the baby. If you're having multiples, you'll need to pay extra attention to your health."
Ye Qing nodded mechanically, "Okay, thank you, doctor."
After leaving the clinic, Ye Qing scratched her head in a somewhat amusing and helpless manner. She couldn't tell whether it was a surprise or a shock. It's not that she didn't want to have children, but having multiple babies was more dangerous than having one child, both in terms of pregnancy and delivery. She just felt a little stressed now.
"How is it? What did the doctor say?"
When Ye Qing returned home, Lin Cuixin looked at her expectantly with eyes wide open.
Ye Qing didn't say anything but just pointed three fingers at her.
"What do you mean?"
"The doctor said it could be two or three."
"Three?! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Three! Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
After Lin Cuixin was shocked, she was left with only joy. She clenched her hands tightly and looked at Ye Qing's face and then at her belly.
The two kids who were sitting on the kang and playing with building blocks saw their grandmother's abnormal behavior and looked at her with curiosity.
"Oh, don't stand there, go lie down on the kang quickly. You must be tired after walking for so long. Oh, oh, three, three! May our ancestors bless you! May our ancestors bless you!"
Ye Qing was helped by her to lie down on the kang. When the two little guys saw this, they immediately surrounded their mother. Lin Cuixin quickly reached out to stop them.
"From now on, you two can't let your mother hold you. She has three little brothers and sisters in her belly!"
The two children didn't understand what she said at all. When they saw that she didn't let them get close to their mother, they started to cry with their mouths pouted.
Seeing this, Ye Qing sat up and held the two children in his arms with great concern.
"Mom, it's okay. They're still young, so I won't carry them when they walk."
Lin Cuixin couldn't bear to see her two grandchildren looking so pitiful. "Well, be careful and don't let them touch your belly."
"Well, don't worry."
The two children nestled in their mother's arms, so well behaved, and they simultaneously stretched out their little hands to touch their mother's belly.
Ye Qing smiled and patted their little heads, and said softly, "Yanyan, Yueyue also like little brothers and sisters, right?"
The two of them didn't understand, but they liked being touched on the head by their mother and giggled with their mouths wide open.
Ye Qing looked at them and then at her bulging belly, and she just felt happy.
When Xiang Changlin came back in the evening and learned that his wife might be pregnant with three babies, he was also surprised. They all thought it was twins like last time, but they didn't expect there was one more.
"Thank you, wife."
At night, the two of them lay on the kang. Xiang Changlin held Ye Qing's hand and confessed his love to her.
Ye Qing raised his hand and touched his handsome face, his eyes soft, "Why thank me, these are my children too, they are all our treasures."
Xiang Changlin smiled and kissed the back of her hand, "You are also my baby."
Ye Qing cast an admiring look, "It's not in vain to watch the idol drama, the mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"My wife taught me well."
On October 21, 1977, China National Radio and other media outlets published the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination as headlines, and this exciting news quickly spread across the country.
It was three days later when the news reached the Victory Brigade.
When this important notice sounded over the brigade's loudspeaker, all the educated youth in the brigade were excited.
Finally! They've finally waited for it!
If they can get into university, even a very bad college, they can move back to the city and no longer have to stay in the countryside living a precarious life!
In addition to the educated youth, there are also some junior high school and high school students in the village who plan to give it a try. If they pass the exam, the opportunity to make a big leap forward will be right in front of them. If they don't try, they will never be able to stand out!
"Baozhu, I want to take the college entrance examination!"
"What? You want to take the college entrance examination? Can you pass it?"
Ye Baozhu expressed her doubts. After all, she had never seen him read a book since they got married.
"I'm sure I can pass. I'm a high school student!"
Gu Wenqing was very dissatisfied with her suspicion. He was one of the top students in school, so how could he not be admitted? Even if he could not be admitted to the top university in the country, he should have no problem getting into an ordinary undergraduate program.
Seeing his confident look, Ye Baozhu also believed him a little. After all, she knew nothing about studying.
"If you get into college, will you abandon the three of us?"
Ever since he said he was going to take the college entrance examination, Ye Baozhu had been feeling uneasy. Even though they already had two children, they really had no feelings for each other. If he really became successful, she would most likely be abandoned by him.
No, he can't go to college!
