The happiest thing in 1979 was that Grandma He and her other four elder relatives returned to their hometown, and when they came back they brought Aunt Shen and her family who had stayed there with them.
This year, He's mother sold her job to Aunt Shen's eldest son, and He San's aunt sold her job to Aunt Shen's second son.
From this year on, the two of them joined Aunt He and other people in the babysitting team, professionally helping He Wanqing's brothers and sisters take care of the children while they were working.
Because there is someone at home to help take care of the children, He Wanqing's generation works harder than before.
Even Chen Ping and others who had been teaching in primary schools had worked hard to improve themselves this year and were ready to take the junior high school entrance exam and start teaching.
He Jiamin and Shen Weijun, who were admitted to primary school as teachers in 1971, also passed the entrance exam to high school and became high school teachers after their hard work in the past two years.
He Wanqing, who taught in junior high school, worked hard to learn, and with the regular guidance of He Jiadong and several college students, she was finally recognized by the school. At the end of 1973, she was recommended by the school and the trade union to enter the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The university was in Nanshi. Since 1974, she had classes during the day and went home to study at night. She occasionally took care of her children and went to the black market in nearby counties and cities to earn some pocket money in her spare time.
Or when Gu Cheng'an was not leading the team out, he would go to the family compound to follow the troops.
When Gu Cheng'an was recommended to study at the Beijing Military Academy, she was tutoring her children at home. Time passed quickly and they graduated in the blink of an eye.
After graduation, He Wanqing was chosen by the school leaders to stay on and teach because of her hard work and good grades.
A year after she graduated, Gu Cheng'an returned from the Military Academy after completing his graduation mission and was promoted again.
At this time, Gu Cheng'an, who was already 32 years old, had reached the position of He's father back then.
He Wanqing stayed at the school for a year. After a year of adaptation, she finally got used to the teaching system of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and was able to go about her daily life with ease.
Gu Cheng'an, who had been busy since 1976, finally ended his busy life in the summer of 1977 and had time to spend with his children.
On this day, He Wanyi, He Wanlin, Chen Ping, and Zhou Lianyi, who had already graduated from the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University, sat on the sofa in the living room of He Wanqing's house, looking at He Wanqing who was urgently notified to work overtime during her holiday:
"Sister, isn't it the autumn harvest holiday? Why are you being notified to work overtime again?"
They had come to go shopping with her today, but now she had to go to work, and the four of them were a little reluctant to go to the newly opened state-owned shopping mall in the city center.
"Didn't your men tell you?" The four people asked curiously while tidying themselves up and looking at themselves in the mirror.
When she saw the four of them shaking their heads at the same time, she sighed and said, “Why do you think I’ve been suppressing He Yuan and Shen An’s hard work in studying recently?
Also, since last year, Gu Chengan brought Su Benjun and his elder brother to Beijing to accept the mission. Why was that?
Think about it, last year they were so busy that not only was there no one to be seen, but even the streets were much more crowded. But look at this year? ”
Seeing that only Zhou Lianyi had something to say among the four people, she applied the vanishing cream, turned around and walked to the four people and whispered:
“Think about the people who were brought back recently, and the teachers who were brought back from the university?
Thinking about Grandpa Gu who was taken to Beijing to attend a meeting a few months ago, do you understand now? ? ? ”
This time, all four of them understood. They looked at each other, turned to look at the people around them, and finally looked at her in tacit understanding:
"Sister, is the matter you mentioned before going to be put on the agenda?"
"Big sister, are you sure?"
Four voices asked two different questions, but the meaning was the same. They all looked at her suspiciously. After she nodded, the four of them stood up at once.
"Sister, let's go and see He Yuan and the others study."
"Big sister, I'm going home for a while. I want to supervise my nephew from my mother's side to take the college entrance examination."
Huang Ya arrived late and saw her sister-in-law, who had asked her to go shopping, leaving in a hurry. She thought something had happened. After asking and finding out it was this, she didn't even go into the house, and turned around and went back to her parents' home without even saying hello.
Standing at the door of the living room, she opened her mouth to say hello to her second sister-in-law, but she saw her and Zhou Lianyi get together and chat for a while, and then they hurried away.
After she closed her mouth and told the seven children to wait at home for their father to come back and take them to the army, she picked up her bag, put on her coat and left.
He didn't come back until half a month later, and when he came back he only had time to say a few words to his family before hurried back to school.
The notice of opening the college entrance examination was issued at the end of October, and He Wanqing, who had been busy for a month, finally had some time to rest.
Now it was Chen Ping and her friends' turn to be busy. They arrived at school at six in the morning and returned at ten thirty in the evening.
He Jiakang, Shen Weiguo, Shen Jianjun, Shen Jianmin, He Yuan, and Shen An, who are all able to take the college entrance examination this year, are the main examiners, and He Dong, He Jie, Shen Ping, and Shen Mu are the accompanying examinees, just to get a feel for next year's college entrance examination.
With so many people from both families taking the college entrance examination at once, the elders in the family became busy again and had to provide nutritional needs for three meals a day.
We also need to ensure that they get enough sleep and are in a good mood. We also need to make sure that they don't get too tired while studying every day and that they remember the knowledge.
Now, not only the elders are busy, but also Shen Ping and others who teach in high school are extremely busy. One person wishes he could split himself into two, one half teaching the children in school and the other half teaching the people at home.
Because they had to take the college entrance examination, the jobs of the Shen Jianmin brothers were vacant again. Everyone who could work in the family had a job. Finally, at the suggestion of He Wanqing, the brothers sold their jobs to pay for their studies.
The two months of preparation passed in a flash, and the day of the exam finally arrived.
Aunt He and Grandma He got up early in the morning and were busy. They were afraid of missing the time and delaying the exams of several people, so they worked from three in the morning to six in the morning.
While eating breakfast, He Wanqing looked at Grandma He and the others walking back and forth at the door. She put down her chopsticks and looked at them seriously:
"Grandma... Fifth Uncle, please stop walking around and adding to their pressure. They are good students and were not nervous at first, but they will be made nervous by you in the end.
You should go back to your room and catch up on some sleep, or go out for a walk, but don't stay at home and watch over them, causing them psychological burden. ”
He Wanqing's voice was loud and emotionless, causing the nervous Grandma He and the others to look at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, several people looked at the examinees eating at the table at the same time. After finding that they were really nervous, they looked at each other and Grandma He spoke:
"Okay, we've done what we need to do, so let's not add burden to the children here. If they don't pass the exam this year, there's still next year to worry about."
The last sentence was to comfort both the nervous He Jiakang and the others, as well as the nervous Aunt He and the others.
Seeing Grandma He and Grandma Shen leave together, Aunt He, who wanted to stay, was directly pulled away by Mother He and Aunt Shen, without letting her say anything.
