Qin Hanshu refused to believe it and lifted the swaddling clothes to take a look for the umpteenth time.
Yes, there is indeed an extra part.
Why? She already has a son, shouldn't she have a daughter?
Without realizing it, Qin Hanshu uttered those words.
Zhou Weiguang found it amusing. "Logically? What logic? Who guaranteed you that your second child would be a daughter?"
Although Zhou Weiguang also wanted a daughter, he was quite resigned to his fate.
Qin Hanshu turned her head and found the tiger dozing on the windowsill.
Noticing her gaze, the tiger lazily opened its eyelids and meowed.
It's as if it's saying, "I just meowed once, you're overinterpreting it."
Qin Hanshu: ......
That's true, the little kitten didn't say anything.
Qin Hanshu sighed, looked at the wrinkled Erbao for a while, and muttered, "Two brats..."
Zhou Weiguang asked, "We need to give the second child a name, right?"
Qin Hanshu said quietly, "I'm too lazy to think about it, let's just call him Zhou Sheng."
Zhou Sheng was originally intended as a name for his daughter, but since the name doesn't have a strong gender connotation, it's also suitable for his second child.
Zhou Chi was the happiest person about Zhou Sheng's arrival.
When Qin Hanshu was still heavily pregnant, he kept talking about wanting a younger brother, saying that they could take baths together and scrub each other's backs.
From the age of three, Zhou Chi developed a sense of gender and refused to let Qin Hanshu bathe him. However, his father's hands were covered in calluses, and every time he helped him scrub his back, a layer of skin would peel off.
The matter of bathing and scrubbing backs is probably the most troubling thing in Zhou Chi's little head right now.
Having a younger brother would be perfect.
Zhou Chi would come over every day and whisper in his younger brother's ear, "Grow up quickly."
After completing her postpartum confinement period, Qin Hanshu returned to school.
After observing Gu Yan for a period of time, she gained a certain understanding of her and felt confident in entrusting her with household matters.
My salary has also increased to the agreed-upon thirty-five yuan.
When Gu Yan received her first month's salary of twenty yuan, she was so excited that she cried and laughed at the same time.
According to her, this was the first time she had ever seen so much money in her life.
Most importantly, he earned all of this money himself.
Even the strongest men in her family don't earn this much money in a year just from the work points they earn.
The twenty yuan stayed in Gu Yan's pocket overnight, and she mailed it home the next day.
He kept only two yuan for himself, saying he was afraid he would need it for transportation when he went out.
Qin Hanshu wanted to offer some advice, but the Gu family was clearly a family that favored sons over daughters. Gu Yan was a girl, and if she didn't save some money, she shouldn't expect her family to give her a single penny if she ever needed money.
But Gu Yan had only been here a short time, and their relationship wasn't that deep yet, so there were probably some things she could say that wouldn't make a difference.
Let's wait and see.
***
In the second college entrance examination in July, Huo Zhenduo finally got into a university in Jiangcheng and became a classmate of Qin Hanshu.
Although the two enrolled only six months apart, they were in two different cohorts.
Qin Hanshu's class of college students, the first cohort after the resumption of the college entrance examination, was the most unique. They enrolled in the spring of 1978, but were counted as the class of '77.
To celebrate Huo Zhenduo's admission to university, Ru Mei also treated two tables of relatives and friends to a meal at Guangdelou Restaurant.
Qin Hanshu was in labor at the time and didn't go, but Cao Jing went and relayed the situation to Qin Hanshu.
The guests at both tables were mostly Ru Mei's relatives and friends. Anyone with eyes could see the implication: the Ru family was simply showing off.
When the two were discussing marriage, Huo Zhenduo was already a worker, but the gap between him and the Ru family was still significant.
Ru's parents did not object too much and quickly accepted Huo Zhenduo.
But Ru's relatives and friends were mostly sarcastic and cynical.
After all, Ru Mei had been outstanding since childhood. When she reached the age to choose a partner, she rejected many men introduced by relatives because of her high standards.
Finally, when the relatives saw that Ru Mei had actually hired such an ordinary worker, they quickly seized the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.
Ru's parents didn't say anything, but they were also unhappy.
Now that Huo Zhenduo has become a college student, it's enough to make the Ru family proud.
However, after feeling triumphant, Ru Mei developed a sense of crisis and often came to the school to see Huo Zhenduo.
Even Qin Hanshu could sense the extreme unease in her heart.
Under Qin Hanshu's questioning, Ru Mei also confided in her.
"Now that Huo Zhenduo is a college student, he'll definitely meet women who are better than me. Compared to them, won't he look down on me for not being good enough?"
“Look at me, I haven’t been able to lose weight since giving birth to my daughter, and I’ve become a fat woman.”
"I can't dance on stage anymore, and I look worse than before. I'm really worried..."
"Ugly?" Qin Hanshu said, "If you're ugly, then there's no one good-looking in the world."
Ru Mei pursed her lips shyly, "You're exaggerating too much."
Qin Hanshu shook her head solemnly, "I'm not exaggerating at all, really. You are a bit chubby, but you still have a waist, a butt, and your skin is crystal clear. You're not ugly at all."
Ru Mei glanced around nervously and whispered, "Don't be so blunt, it'll be embarrassing if someone hears us."
The two sat and chatted in the coffee shop at Jiangda University. This coffee shop had existed since the 1950s, had been closed for ten years, and had just reopened. Although it only served faculty and students, it was still very crowded.
Qin Hanshu lowered her voice and said, "I'm serious, you don't need to feel inferior about your appearance. I feel that you've become a bit too sensitive since you had your baby, which is probably related to your departure from the stage."
