She had already checked. There was regular snow removal in the residential compound when it snowed, and there was no snow accumulation on the roads. Even if there was ice, it would only form in the grass by the roadside. The sudden appearance of a puddle of water would raise suspicion. Wasn't this intentional?
I wonder how He Cuiping is doing.
At this moment, Political Commissar Wang had just returned home.
The house was empty, and there was no hot food on the table. Instead, He Cuiping was painfully applying medicine to her back.
He panicked immediately. "Cuiping, what's wrong?"
"I tripped and fell outside just now."
Commissar Wang quickly applied medicine to her hands. Fortunately, she was wearing thick winter clothes and wasn't seriously injured from the fall. The most serious injuries were to her hands, which were scraped and bled a little. Her back and buttocks were fine, and the pain subsided after applying the medicine a few times.
Several days have passed since water was splashed at the entrance of the courtyard.
This time, no one passed by the entrance to the courtyard.
Lin Yuxi was reading a few books in the living room. The courtyard gate was right across from her, and she could see it whenever there was a sound.
In this era without surveillance, if you want to know who spilled the water, you can't find a single trace.
Fortunately, He Cuiping was alright. Since it started snowing, both families have been sprinkling salt at their doorsteps every day, so they won't slip and fall even if the ground freezes.
During this period, Lin Yuxi did nothing but read books, and would occasionally look at some practice questions when she had free time.
"Why are you looking at this? It's bad for your eyes!" Jiang Shufen said with a worried expression.
Lin Yuxi waved the book in her hand. "Mom, what if the college entrance examination is reinstated in the future? So we still need to be fully prepared."
It is now 1977, and there is less than a month left until the Chinese New Year.
The resumption of the college entrance examination is not far off, and by then, after she has given birth and taken some time to recover, the college entrance examination will be just in time.
Jiang Shufen didn't understand. Anyway, she wasn't planning on taking the exam; she just needed to take care of Lin Yuxi every day.
"Take good care of yourself. If you're tired, don't watch TV. Just watch some TV and eat some fruit. Your belly is getting bigger every day. When you're seven or eight months pregnant, you'll feel tired even walking," Jiang Shufen advised.
Lin Yuxi sat on a recliner, slowly flipping through the pages of a book.
Her belly started to show day by day. It was inconvenient to go to the hospital for prenatal checkups in winter, so she had to wait for Gu Chen to have some free time. Fortunately, this month, which was close to the Chinese New Year, was not busy.
On this day, Lin Yuxi sat in the passenger seat of a government bus.
Gu Chen drove, while Jiang Shufen carried a small bag containing a hot water bottle and a thermos.
"Drive slowly, and don't let it be bumpy. You've finished your prenatal checkup this month, and the next one won't be until after the New Year," Jiang Shufen reminded her from behind.
Lin Yuxi smiled helplessly.
"Mom, Gu Chen drives very steadily, why are you always so worried?"
The vehicle moved slowly along the road, and it took about half an hour to reach the hospital.
The hospital corridor smelled faintly of disinfectant. Lin Yuxi sat down on a bench, supporting her back. Gu Chen had already gone to register. Jiang Shufen hurriedly took out a water bottle.
"Are you thirsty after sitting in the car all the way? This water is still warm."
Lin Yuxi took a sip, and Gu Chen had already jogged over. There weren't many seats in the corridor to begin with, so he specially squatted down to rub her palms, "Are you cold? It'll be our turn soon."
Military personnel are given priority, and their families are also given priority.
He was already tall and slender, and to make Lin Yuxi's prenatal checkup more comfortable, he specially borrowed a government car. At this moment, he knelt down beside Lin Yuxi, lowering his head to warm her.
The pregnant woman next door nudged her husband with her elbow with envy, "Look at her, how considerate she is."
