Even if Qin Hanshu had been staying in the space in his previous life, he knew what major events had happened this year.
After a series of major events, careful people can find from reading newspapers that the political landscape is quietly changing.
"Alas, the leader is gone. What should I do in the future?" Wu Yingxia would sigh every day. Sometimes she would shed tears while sighing, and cry to thank the new society and the leader for their kindness to her.
"My father passed away early, and my brothers and sisters all relied on my mother to wash clothes for a living. My most vivid memory of my childhood was that there were always mountains of dirty clothes piled up at home all year round, and it seemed that no matter how hard we tried to wash them, we would never be able to finish washing them."
"My mother's hands were soaked in ice water in the winter, and they were swollen like carrots. Now, she is healthy except for her hands, which are shaking so badly that she needs to be fed."
"But despite all the hard work, the family still couldn't get enough food or clothes. As a last resort, my two sisters were married to merchants... They were said to be married, but in fact they were sold. I don't know whether they were bought as maids or concubines, and I don't know how long they can live..."
Wu Yingxia rubbed her nose and cried.
"My fate would have been the same as my two older sisters. It was only because the leader led us to overthrow the old society that I had the opportunity to attend literacy classes, go to night school, and get such a decent job."
"Why didn't the leader live a long life..."
Most people in the department felt uncomfortable with what Wu Yingxia said.
The entire unit was in a depressed atmosphere during this period.
But it wasn't long before the whole country was celebrating.
The four-man bang fell.
Immediately afterwards, the daily political studies that had been conducted in various departments for many years were also cancelled.
Sister Zheng let out a long sigh of relief. "I've finally made it through. I don't have to listen to monks chanting sutras anymore."
No one would have dared to say such things in the past.
However, although the atmosphere is more relaxed than before, the whole country is still in deep confusion.
There is still no clear direction for the country's future.
Until another year passed.
In October 1977, the college entrance examination was resumed.
The news spread across the country like wings. Factories and institutions in the cities and fields in the countryside were all filled with joy.
The dawn of the future begins to emerge.
Qin Hanshu also signed up for the college entrance examination.
Although she didn’t have big ambitions for the future, she had no reason to let go of the opportunity to improve herself.
If she is admitted to university, she can continue to receive salary from the department store during her four years of study, but after graduation, she will have to return to the department store.
Of course, after returning to the department store, she was no longer a small clerk, but directly became a national cadre at the 22nd administrative level.
Qin Hanshu had good grades when he was in school, and he started reviewing his lessons a year ago, so he was confident that he would pass the exam.
For someone like her who is already of considerable age and married with children, the only way she could apply for the college entrance examination was in the year when it was resumed.
If you fail the exam, you will have no chance until next year.
When Zhou Weiguang heard that Qin Hanshu had signed up for the college entrance examination, he was surprised for a moment, then joked, "It's over. My wife is a college student. I, a rough guy, am no match for her."
Qin Hanshu glanced at him with a smile, "What about divorce?"
Qin Hanshu was just joking with him, but Zhou Weiguang's face darkened immediately, "Can you just say divorce casually?!"
The tone is serious and formal.
Since they met, Qin Hanshu had been a little bit temperamental from time to time, but Zhou Weiguang had never been angry with Qin Hanshu.
This was the first time that Qin Hanshu really felt the imposing aura.
She said: "This is just a joke..."
Zhou Weiguang looked at her solemnly and said, "You should know when to joke."
Qin Hanshu said awkwardly, "I know..."
Zhou Weiguang might be really unhappy, as everyone was silent after that, and the atmosphere at home was unusually depressing.
With a "click", the door opened and Zhou Chi walked in with a small schoolbag on his back.
Four-year-old Zhou Chi just started kindergarten.
Because the kindergarten is just behind the staff quarters, and there are several children of the same age in the building who go to school together, so there is no need for anyone to pick them up.
Qin Hanshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son. Finally, the atmosphere was livened up.
"Son, you're back. What did you learn in kindergarten today? Tell mom and dad about it."
Zhou Chi looked up at his mother, as if he didn't understand why his mother was talking so much today.
But he still patiently answered his mother, "Learn to sing and write numbers."
After saying that, he went back to his room, spread out the rice paper, and took the brush to practice writing big characters.
Qin Hanshu: “…” Expecting her son to liven up the atmosphere is just wishful thinking.
Seeing Zhou Weiguang busy in the kitchen, Qin Hanshu went over to help.
"Captain Zhou, I'm here to help you."
Zhou Weiguang was promoted to deputy regiment commander last year, which caused a sensation in the entire military compound at the time. After all, deputy regiment commanders of this age were rare in the entire military region.
Hearing Qin Hanshu's flattering words, Zhou Weiguang didn't even raise his eyelids, and just said lightly: "Let's prepare the meal, set out the dishes and chopsticks."
Qin Hanshu: "Oh..."
At the dinner table, Zhou Chi said, "Mom and Dad, I don't want to sing and dance in kindergarten anymore. I want to go to elementary school next year."
Children who go to elementary school have to live in the school dormitory, and children from the staff quarters are usually sent there when they are 7-8 years old.
Qin Hanshu said: "You will only be five years old next year, too young, wait until the year after next."
Zhou Chi looked at Zhou Weiguang.
Zhou Weiguang said: "Mom is right."
Zhou Chi looked at Zhou Weiguang for a moment and said, "Can't you have a little opinion of your own? Why do you always listen to your mother?"
Zhou Weiguang was unmoved. "My mother's decision makes sense. I agree with it. That's my opinion."
Qin Hanshu raised the corner of his mouth and gently touched Zhou Weiguang's feet with his feet under the table.
Zhou Weiguang, however, retracted his feet.
Qin Hanshu frowned, thinking that he had calmed down!
Zhou Chi tried to persuade his parents for a while, but seeing that his parents were determined and could not be swayed, he had to give up the idea.
Alas, kindergarten is the most childish and boring place in the world.
Qin Hanshu had no time to care about her son's depression. She was now full of regret.
She didn't know that the word "divorce" she said casually as a joke would cause Zhou Weiguang to react so strongly.
When the lights were turned off at night, Qin Hanshu went over and hugged Zhou Weiguang.
"Hubby, I was wrong. I will never talk nonsense again."
In the darkness, Zhou Weiguang's mouth curled up, then quickly moved back down.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Hanshu simply turned over and pressed over, and began to kiss him carefully...
Zhou Weiguang's breathing became increasingly unstable, and finally he could no longer hold back and took the initiative.
"If you make a mistake, you must be punished."
Qin Hanshu nodded quickly, "You can punish me, as long as it doesn't tickle me, anything is fine."
Soon, Qin Hanshu added, "And no spanking!"
Zhou Weiguang paused as he was about to take action, then laughed in anger, "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, how should I punish you?"
Thinking quickly, Zhou Weiguang sneered and said, "Then punish him with flogging!"
Qin Hanshu frowned. Whipping? Where is the whip at home?
Before she could react, Zhou Weiguang turned her over and made her lie face down on the bed.
Oh, this caning...
