In August of 1977, Zhou Zhou and Dumpling were five years old, and their sisters Doudou and Rongrong were half a year old. Yes, the two girls in the family were nicknamed "Dourong". They already had a brother named Zhou Zhou and a brother named Dumpling, but they were still missing a "Ronger", the sweet Dourong Ronger.

Doudou's sister's full name was Lu Siyao, and Rongrong's full name was Lu Sining. Because the two little guys looked exactly the same, Qin Rou tied them to Doudou's wrist with a red rope.

The two little guys were half a year old, and they could already sit up. They were white and tender when they ate. The sisters were babbling and laughing all day long. The two sisters had little teeth, and Qin Rou was now adding complementary food to them.

As expected of Lu's children, they love to eat, just like their brothers. When

Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling come back from kindergarten, they will gather around their little sisters' cribs to play with them.

The little wave drums are clacking.

Zhou Zhou on the left shouts, "Sister, look at your brother!"

Xiao Dumpling on the right shouts, "Sister, look at your brother!"

"Clatter, clatter..."

Sisters Dou Dou and Rong Rong look to the left and right, drooling in a daze. Because they can't speak, they can't express themselves, but...

why is there a little brother on the left and another little brother who looks exactly the same on the right? The sisters who have just learned to recognize people feel so confused. Why are there so many brothers who look exactly the same?

"Ahhh?"

"Oh..."

The two sisters rolled over and squeezed together, humming and rubbing. Why are they looking at their brother? All brothers look the same. It's better to look at their sister (sister).

He raised his hand to rub his sister's little face, and then rolled over and pressed on her.

Qin Rou found that the younger sister was much more lively than the older sister. The older sister was very calm and slept with her arms and legs spread out in a very generous manner, while the younger sister would do something here and there, babbling and waving her hands and shaking her legs.

Disturbing the sleep quality of the older sister.

"Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, come and practice calligraphy. Write two pages of big characters and then play with your sister." Zhou Zhou and Dumpling are five years old. They already know a lot of characters and can read simple stories.

Zhou Zhou and Dumpling kept their heads down and pretended not to hear. They didn't like writing very much.

It's strange that children of five or six years old are willing to sit and write. They prefer to play in the mud outside rather than study.

"Mom, we are going to play hide-and-seek outside!"

There are many friends of similar age in the family compound. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling also like to play with their friends in the compound, such as hide-and-seek and badminton... The more people there are, the more fun it is, especially hide-and-seek.

"Lu Weizhou, bring Dumpling to write."

Zhou Zhou said cleverly, "Who is Lu Weizhou? I don't know him."

Dumpling followed with wit, "I don't know Lu Weize either!"

Qin Rou: "..." Do you know what it means to confess without being asked? This is to confess without being asked.

"Are you your mother's sons? Your mother only has two sons, Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize."

"I'm Zhouzhou!"

"I'm Xiaojiaozi!"

"When you go to primary school, you will have to write your own names in your homework books."

Qin Rou took the two children to the small table and sat them down. They honestly wrote their own names on two pages.

Lu Weizhou, Lu Weize.

"Mom, you're done!"

After the two children finished writing, Qin Rou saw the brothers' "broken characters". Her own name was written crookedly. How should I put it? The writing difficulty of the two names Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize is not much different. The characters are both left-right structured, which can easily lead to...

The three-character Lu Weizhou can be written as the six-character "Lu Weizhou". The three dots of water on the left of the character "zhou" are like a slap on the right of the character "zhou", and it curses: Don't get close to me!

If you want to taste the character "zhou" more carefully, it is enough to split into four or five.

Qin Rou showed the two children's broken handwriting to their father Lu Yan, "Hurry up and teach our sons to write. Brother Lu, your handwriting is so beautiful, why are the children's handwriting like this?"

"They are still young."

"Lu Yan, please write a copybook for the children and let them practice according to your handwriting." Qin Rou's handwriting is average. She doesn't want the two children's handwriting to be like hers, but she hopes that Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling will write like their father.

"Yeah."

But the children are still young, even if they practice according to their father's handwriting, the words they write still have their own ideas.

In August and September, there was a faint news in the society that the college entrance examination would be restored. Some people did not believe this false news, while some people secretly looked forward to it. In October, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was broadcast on the radio.

As an announcer, Qin Rou personally broadcast this news through countless loudspeakers.

"… a major decision has been made to resume the college entrance examination…"

This is big news. Both the Central Radio Station and the local people's radio stations have been broadcasting this news repeatedly in the morning, noon and evening. Farmers and educated youth in the fields, workers in factory workshops, veterans, students… have all heard this big news. People

everywhere are in an uproar. Resuming the college entrance examination? Passing the exam to get into college? ! !

This news is really exciting.

In the past ten years, people have taken various recommended exams to get into college. Many people shook their heads, knowing that they would not get a recommendation, and never dared to hope to go to any university. But now the college entrance examination has been resumed? ! !

They have the opportunity to go to college!

This news was released in a hurry, and before anyone had time to prepare, the college entrance examination was just around the corner. The first exam after the resumption of the college entrance examination was scheduled for December this winter, and now there is only a short month left.

Everyone has not had time to digest this big news, and they have to start preparing for the college entrance examination.

The registration fee for the college entrance examination was set at one yuan, and under the reaction of many people, it was changed to fifty cents.

It was this fifty cents that changed the fate of countless people.

Many people took fifty cents and hesitated on the road of life, "Only one month left, can I pass the exam?"

"Will you take the exam?"

"Register! Even if I can't pass, I have to register and try!"

...

Countless people signed up for the exam. Qin Rou was hesitant about whether to sign up. After Lu Yan came back, Qin Rou asked for his opinion: "Do you think I should sign up for the college entrance examination?"

Lu Yan was a little surprised, but not too surprised. The couple had watched "One Hundred Thousand Whys" together and discussed math problems together. He knew Qin Rou's level and "You can pass the exam."

"Then do you think I should go to college?"

"Go if you want to." Lu Yan asked her: "Have you decided which university you want to apply to?"

"Lingnan University in Guangzhou." Qin Rou continued: "If I pass the exam, I will go to Guangzhou to study next year."

That means the two of them will be separated, which is why Qin Rou hesitated. Originally, she and Lu Yan were apart more often than they were together, and now the child is still young, and they have to go to college separately. Qin Rou is reluctant to let them go.

Although the distance between Qiongzhou Island and Guangzhou is not far, if she goes there to study, we can only see each other during the winter and summer vacations for the next four years.

"Go." Lu Yan gave her an affirmative answer and encouraged her with a smile: "Do your best to pass the exam."

Qin Rou was annoyed: "Why are you like this? Lu Yan! If your wife really wants to be admitted to university, I will have to go to Guangzhou to study!"

"You usually say that you love your wife the most and can't wait to have her around me every day. Now I'm going to study outside, and you don't even seem reluctant to let her go. You still encourage your wife to hurry up and pass the exam..."

Lu Yan looked at her with a smile, took off his military cap and put it on Qin Rou's head. He said: "In December this year, Guangzhou is going to set up a naval school."

Qin Rou: "...so what?"

"If you go to Guangzhou Lingnan University to study, then I will also try to get the opportunity to study in the school."

Qin Rou: "?!!!!"

What a coincidence!

"Then I will sign up for the college entrance examination?!" The couple went to Guangzhou to study together, and they could also witness the economic opening up!!!

Lu Yan looked at her lovingly and smiled: "Go!"

"You must pass the exam, don't let Brother Lu go and you fail." Lu Yan scratched her nose.

The two daughters were still young, and Lu Yan also wanted to take the opportunity to go to further study. Although many rough men hated studying and attending classes, he was different from an officer who originally came from a military academy. He had a solid foundation in various knowledge, and now he was in his prime, so studying was not a problem for him.

Apart from other things, for military officers, they will have a lot of freedom when they study in school, especially for married officers with families, they can spend more time with their families at home, and they are free in their spare time.

"You make me feel very stressed." After Lu Yan said this, she must pass the exam. Qin Rou didn't know what the first round of the college entrance examination would be like.

"Brother Lu will accompany you to review."

Qin Rou went to the registration point to take the exam. When she went to register, the registration point was still crowded. It was not that the registration procedure was complicated, but that everyone did not know how to make a decision for the time being. Stay at the registration point to contact more candidates and discuss with each other.

The college entrance examination at this time is different from the future college entrance examination. You must fill in the school application first, and then take the exam.

What will the exam cover? What score can I get? What school can I go to with this score? ... No one knows these.

"What schools did you apply to?"

"There's still a month left, is there enough time to review?"

"I definitely won't make it, so I'll just try first. I'll apply to Huaqing University and Peking University!"

...

It's stupid to still be here talking nonsense with others. Those who really want to go to college have already squatted in front of the Xinhua Bookstore. All major Xinhua Bookstores have staff squatting early in the morning just to buy books.

Especially the set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" was snatched up by people.

Because she had dealt with people from Guangcheng Publishing House before, Qin Rou got two sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". She kept one set for herself and gave one set to her sister and brother-in-law.

After knowing that the Chen family had books, many educated youth from Dajiao Village came to the Chen family to copy books and study. One person copied a part, and everyone could study together.

"If you are tired of copying, let me do it!"

"These math problems are so difficult!"

...

Brother-in-law Chen Mian looked at the enthusiastic learning atmosphere in front of him, and felt warm and relieved in his heart. He liked to see everyone actively studying together.

He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.

"Teacher Chen, you are a college student, right? Can you explain this problem to us?"

Wang, who was originally eager to learn, seized the opportunity to ask Chen Mian for advice, and Chen Mian gave him a lot of guidance.

Chen Jinghua and Chen Juanjuan were equally delighted when they heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination. "We can also take the exam in the future! Jinghua, we can also go to college!"

"Aunt, you are right, it is true that we must select the best talents!"

"Aunt, are you going to take the exam too?"

Qin Rou nodded: "Aunt will go to college first, Jinghua and Juanjuan will wait for one or two years to take the college entrance examination."

"Sister, are you going to take the college entrance examination too?" Qin Mian's jaw dropped to the ground when she learned that her own sister was going to take the college entrance examination. Her sister Qin Rou was also a mountain girl like her. She used to barely go to an art school, but now she is going to take the college entrance examination?

Brother-in-law Chen Mian said: "Your sister has finished reading "One Hundred Thousand Whys" seriously in the past two years. Her foundation in astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry is much more solid than other people. If she wants to take the exam, she should be able to pass."

"Really?" Qin Mian was shocked, "There will be a college student in our family!"

Chen Mian was speechless: "Didn't you marry a college student?"

"This is my own sister... You all have become educated people, but I have been left behind. I have to learn more."

"What kind of book is that? I will take a good look at it too!"

"Sister, you should take a look too, maybe you can get into a university."

Qin Mian waved his hand: "Why should I go to university at my age? Sister, you are young, and it's just right for you to take the exam now."

"Sister, you don't know, I saw a mother and daughter registering for the exam together."

"Ah?! A mother and daughter taking the exam together?"

"Yeah." Qin Rou nodded with a smile: "Maybe the mother and daughter can get into the same university."

This is probably the most special college entrance examination of this year. Not only mothers and daughters take the exam together, but also fathers and sons, brothers and sisters... and even "teachers and students" walk into the examination room hand in hand.

Many rural primary school teachers also signed up to take the exam. My brother-in-law Chen's family has become a hot commodity, and everyone gathers around him to ask questions.

Even in the neighboring villages, many educated youth working in rubber farms, knowing that there are two college students and former college teachers here, also ran to the Chen family to study without hesitation. There

is an endless stream of people visiting the Chen family.

"Teacher Chen..."

The villagers of Dajiao Village were all amazed to see such a lively scene.

When Qin Rou went to fill out her application, she only filled out one school, which was Lingnan University.

Others filled in all kinds of schools. If we talk about the most popular schools, I'm afraid it's really "Huaqing" and "Peking University". Some people only know these universities.

Knowing that they will definitely not pass the exam this year, they naturally fill in the schools randomly, filling in whichever one has a good reputation.

Ye Mingxiu from the family courtyard signed up for the college entrance examination just like Qin Rou, and the school she wants to take the exam is also Lingnan University.

"Then we will go to Guangzhou to study together."

Because of the registration for the college entrance examination, many families are in a turmoil. It's not so bad in the family courtyard. Unemployed military wives generally don't have the passion to take the college entrance examination. For employed military wives, half of them have a stable life and don't want to take the college entrance examination, and the other half want to take the exam, but their families don't agree.

The educated youth on the island, the factory workers, and many married people with families are facing the same choice: should they take the college entrance examination?

Even if their families disagree, they still walk into the examination room.

In December, Qin Rou went to take the college entrance examination. There were really all kinds of people in the examination room, and their levels were also uneven. She even saw candidates who drew duck eggs directly on the test paper.

Compared with the college entrance examinations she had taken in the past, this one was really casual. Qin Rou was in a particularly calm mood. The test questions were not difficult, and she answered all the questions carefully.

After handing in the last test paper, Qin Rou breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out of the examination room and rode her bicycle back home.

"Xiao Qin? Xiao Qin, are you back from the exam?"

"How did you do?"

Qin Rou replied casually, "It was OK."

Back home, the two sisters in the family sat on the fence bed to see their mother. When they saw their mother, they excitedly shouted, "De De De!!"

"Brother!!"

"Oh - De De De!"

Qin Rou: "..."

Under the tireless teaching of brother Xiao Dumpling, the first name that their sisters Tian Dou Rong learned to call was not dad or mom, let alone grandpa and grandma, but brother.

What is it like to be called brother by your daughter?

Qin Rou walked to the side of the daughters and coaxed them, "Good Dou Dou, good Rong Rong, call mom, call mom!"

Dou Dou said, "Hehe? Hehe, hehe, hehe..."

She called brother? Hehe? As she was shouting, she started laughing to herself.

The younger sister did the same as her elder sister, the two silly girls smiled at each other.

Qin Rou: “…”

She saw that the faces of these two silly girls were 60% similar to hers, and suddenly she felt upset.

After Lu Yan came back, he didn’t ask her how she did in the exam, but teased his daughter like her, “Call Lu brother!”

Qin Rou slapped his hand angrily, “If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. How do you teach your daughter? Call daddy!!”

Doudou: “Dad!!!”

Rongrong: “Hey daddy!”

Qin Rou: “?!!!!!!”

Ahhhh why can she call brother and daddy, but not mommy?

“My dear, call mommy!!”

“Dad!!”

“Bar ba daddy!!”

Qin Rou: “…”

Annoying daughter.

Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling ran back home, Xiao Dumpling kept saying: "Sister, sister, call brother!!"

"Brother!!"

Tian Dourong saw Brother Dumpling and immediately shouted: "Dad!"

Xiao Dumpling: "?!"

Dumpling is not Dad.

He turned his head to look at Lu Yan, wondering: "Dad?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Zhou Zhou said: "It's big brother!"

"Dad!!"

Qin Rou: "..."

After teaching the two little kids for a few days, Doudou and Rongrong were finally able to distinguish between their father, mother and brother. The two little sisters would crawl around and try to stand up by holding the fence.

"Mom..."

"Our Doudou and Rongrong are one year old."

Doudou and Rongrong learned to speak very quickly, and soon they could talk to each other like sisters. This is the advantage of having twins. If it is one child, when the child speaks, he hopes to get the attention and response of adults. But these two little sisters said something that adults couldn't understand to each other, and they spoke very vigorously.

Qin Rou scored 406 points and was admitted to the business management major of Lingnan University, which was the business management department at that time, which was later the business administration. Ye Mingxiu scored 350 points and was also admitted to the Chinese department of Lingnan University.

"Xiao Qin, you really passed the exam?!"

"Xiao Qin, you and the Zhao family both passed the exam?!"

"Amazing!"

...

After the people at the radio station knew that Qin Rou had passed the college, they were all amazed. "Qin Rou, with your looks and voice, why don't you continue to be a broadcaster? It's so easy to be a broadcaster in a radio station."

"You studied business management, do you want to be a workshop manager?"

"Xiao Qin, congratulations!" Zeng Xueqing has worked with Qin Rou for several years. Now that she is leaving her job to go to college, she sighs and regrets, "You will be a college student in the future."

Xi Xiangyi also passed the college entrance examination, but she was admitted to a school in the northwest, and was hesitating whether to go to school.

"How about taking the exam again next year?"

"Next year, everyone will review for another year, and I'm afraid it will be much more difficult than this year."

"That's right. This sudden exam caught us off guard."

...

Good news came one after another from Dajiao Village. Six or seven educated youth from their village were admitted to college. Although several schools were not very good, this was big news for the countryside.

Many people came to the Chen family to thank Chen Mian.

"Thanks to Teacher Chen."

"I have to thank the books I read at the Chen family!!"

...

Educated youth from other villages also came to Dajiao Village to thank the Chen family and thank Chen Mian and his son for their help.

The people of Dajiao Village were very happy to see this scene. What did it show? It showed that Teacher Chen in their village was really capable. Even though he was a primary school teacher, people who were going to college would come to him for advice! !

- A great man in their village.

The villagers ran to the village cadres to praise him: "You are really amazing. You recruited Teacher Chen to our village. Our village has a great man. There will be hope for our children in the future."

Although the country people did not have much cultural knowledge, they had descendants. Seeing so many educated youth going to college, and several of them being admitted to college, their hearts also warmed up.

Although they themselves cannot go to college, their children can study and take the college entrance examination. With such a teacher in their village, their children in the future will definitely have the hope of getting into college! !

"If our children get into college in the future, can they also be assigned a job? Can they also become cadres? They don't have to work in the fields anymore."

"We should build a good relationship with Teacher Chen's family."

"Let the children at home listen to Teacher Chen."

People from other villages heard about this and were also envious of their village for having such a great intellectual. "Teacher Chen in your village is amazing. I heard that he helped several people get into college."

"Many villages didn't have any students get in."

"They were so happy when one person in their village got in."

"Your Dajiao Village has also become a Feng Shui treasure land."

...

The villagers showed more respect to the Chen family and greeted them warmly. Qin Mian was very happy to see this change. This was really a change of the times. Chen Mian and Old Master Chen also had more smiles on their faces.

Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua studied harder under the guidance of their grandfather and father, especially Chen Jinghua. He was good at reading and studying. Now that he knew he had the opportunity to enter university, he wanted to immerse himself in books every day. His enthusiasm for

study made many educated youth older than him ashamed.

"Great! My sister got into college!"

"Your aunt got into college, you will definitely get into college in the future!" The

Chen family was more and more happy, and they all felt that the future was more promising.

In the spring of 1978, Qin Rou was going to report to Lingnan University, Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping and their five children went to Guangcheng, and Lu Yan would also go to the Naval Academy in Guangcheng for further studies soon.

They did not have to rent a house, but lived with Lu Sanjie. Lu Sanjie retired at the end of last year. Now she is no longer a female soldier, but a glorious female police officer.

Lu Xuan found a way to transfer to Guangcheng. Originally, her unit was transferred to Guangdong Province. In addition, she had made meritorious contributions and performed well, so she got the opportunity to be settled in Guangcheng. She passed the internal examination and transferred to the public security department.

From one uniform, to another.

Lu Xuan was very satisfied with this arrangement. She had been longing for Guangzhou for a long time. Lu Qing always described all kinds of delicious food to her in the letters. She must come here to eat and drink, try all the delicious food, and play in all the fun places.

"Mom!" Xia Mingxi saw his mother who had changed into a new look, and hugged her happily.

His mother is a police officer, and the police catch bad guys! !

Comrade Lu looked up and down at his daughter's police uniform, and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, do a good job!"

Qin Rou smiled and said, "Third sister."

Big brother Zhou Zhou brought the other three little guys to call "Auntie" together.

"Let me hold the two children." When Lu Xuan saw her two little nieces, Doudou and Rongrong, she liked them very much. She was tall and strong, and she could hold one in each hand.

"Be good and call me aunt."

"Aunt! Aunt!"

"Come with me. I'm living in my friend's house now, in a knight's house on the side of the road." Lu Xuan led them to where she lived now. The house was not big, with two bedrooms and a living room, but the rooms were large and could be divided into three rooms with cabinets. "My house in the public security branch is still under construction. We can move in when it's finished next year."

Their family went upstairs in a mighty manner. Other people in the upstairs came to see the excitement. Seeing this, a neighbor couldn't help but congratulate Lu Xuan:

"Little Lu, your wife has finally come to see you with her parents and children."

"Your wife is so beautiful."

Lu Xuan: "???!"

Qin Rou: "??????!"
