Qin Hanshu didn't want to believe it, and opened the swaddling clothes for the umpteenth time to take a look.

Yes, there is indeed an extra part.

Why? She already had a son, so shouldn't she have a daughter?

Without noticing, Qin Hanshu said this.

Zhou Weiguang found it funny. "Reasonably? What reason? Who promised you that the second child would be a daughter?"

Although Zhou Weiguang also wanted a daughter, he was more receptive and had already accepted his fate.

Qin Hanshu turned his head and found the tiger napping on the windowsill.

Noticing her gaze, the tiger lazily opened its eyelids and meowed.

As if to say - "I just meowed, and you over-interpreted it."

Qin Hanshu:......

That’s right, the little cat didn’t say anything.

Qin Hanshu sighed, looked at the wrinkled Erbao for a while, and muttered: "Two brats..."

Zhou Weiguang asked: "We have to give the second child a name, right?"

Qin Hanshu said quietly, "I'm too lazy to think about it, so let's just call him Zhou Sheng."

Zhou Sheng was originally a name prepared for my daughter, but this name does not have a strong gender connotation, so it can also be used for my second child.

The person who was most happy about Zhou Sheng's arrival was Zhou Qi.

When Qin Hanshu was still pregnant, he kept talking about having a younger brother, saying that they could take a bath together and rub each other's backs.

Since he was three years old, Zhou Qi had developed a sense of gender and refused to let Qin Hanshu bathe him. But his father had heavy calluses on his hands, and every time he rubbed his back, a layer of skin would fall off.

The issue of bathing and back scrubbing is probably the most troublesome thing in Zhou Xi's little head at this stage.

It would be nice to have a younger brother.

Zhou Xi would come over every day and whisper in his brother's ear, "Grow up quickly."

After the confinement period, Qin Hanshu returned to school.

After observing for a period of time, she had a certain understanding of Gu Yan and could safely leave the household affairs to her.

The salary also increased to the agreed thirty-five yuan.

When Gu Yan received her first month's salary of 20 yuan, she was so excited that she cried and laughed.

According to her, this was the first time she had seen so much money since she was a child.

The most important thing is that all this money is earned by myself.

The work points earned by the strong laborers in her family would not be enough to save that much money in a year.

The twenty yuan stayed in Gu Yan's pocket overnight and was mailed back home by her the next day.

He kept two dollars for himself, saying that he would need it in case he needed it to take a bus when he went out.

Qin Hanshu wanted to give some advice. The Gu family was obviously a family that favored boys over girls. Gu Yan was a girl, and if she didn't save some money, her family wouldn't give her a penny if she needed it.

But after all, Gu Yan had only been here for a short time and their friendship was not that deep, so she probably would have no use saying some things.

Let’s wait and see later.

***

In his second college entrance examination in July, Huo Zhenduo was finally admitted to a university in Jiangcheng as he wished, and became a schoolmate with Qin Hanshu.

Although the two entered school only half a year apart, they were divided into two classes.

Qin Hanshu's group of students who were part of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination was the most special. They enrolled in the spring of 1978, but were counted as the class of 1977.

To celebrate Huo Zhenduo's admission to university, Ru Mei invited two tables of relatives and friends to dine at Guangde Building.

Qin Hanshu was expecting delivery at the time so she didn't go. Cao Jing went and conveyed the situation to Qin Hanshu when she met her.

The guests at the two tables were basically Ru Mei's relatives and friends. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on. It was just the Ru family showing off.

When the two were discussing marriage, although Huo Zhenduo was already a worker, the gap between him and the Ru family was still quite large.

Ru's parents did not object too much and quickly accepted Huo Zhenduo.

But there were many relatives and friends of the Ru family who were sarcastic and mocking.

After all, Rumei has been outstanding since she was a child. When she reached the age of choosing a partner, she rejected many gay men introduced by her relatives because of her high standards.

Finally, when the relatives saw that Rumei actually hired such an ordinary worker, they quickly seized the opportunity to ridicule her.

Although Ru's parents didn't say anything, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

Now that Huo Zhenduo has become a college student, it is enough to make the Ru family proud.

However, after becoming proud of herself, Ru Mei began to feel a sense of crisis again and often came to the school to find Huo Zhenduo.

Even Qin Hanshu could sense her extreme uneasiness.

When asked by Qin Hanshu, Rumei also confided her true feelings to her.

"Now that Huo Zhenduo has become a college student, he will definitely meet lesbians who are better than me. In comparison, will he think I am not good enough?"

"Look at me. I couldn't lose weight after giving birth to my daughter. I became a fat woman."

"I can't dance on stage now, and I'm uglier than before. I'm really worried..."

"Ugly?" Qin Hanshu said, "If you are ugly, there is no good-looking person in the world."

Rumei pursed her lips shyly, "You are exaggerating too much."

Qin Hanshu shook his head solemnly, "I'm not exaggerating at all, really. You are a little fat, but your waist is your waist, your butt is your butt, and your skin is crystal clear. You are not ugly at all."

Rumei looked around in panic and whispered, "Don't be so blunt. It would be embarrassing if someone heard it."

The two sat and chatted in the coffee shop of Jiangda University. This coffee shop has been around since the 1950s and was closed for ten years before reopening. Although it only receives faculty and students of the school, there are still many people.

Qin Hanshu lowered his voice and said, "I'm serious. You don't have to feel inferior about your appearance. I feel like you've been a little too sensitive since you gave birth. It's probably related to your leaving the stage."

"Once a woman loses her career and focuses all her attention on her family, she will pay extra attention to men."

Rumei thought for a while and nodded.

Qin Hanshu added: "You should learn this from my sister-in-law. Although she looks weak, she is actually very strong inside. You can find time to talk to her more."

"You have similar experiences. I think she can help you a lot."

Rumei said, "I haven't seen her for a long time."

Although Cao Jing retired from the stage, she still worked in the song and dance troupe. However, Ru Mei quit her job directly after she became pregnant.

Rumei's resignation from her job was strongly influenced by her parents, mainly because they saw how hard it was for their daughter during her pregnancy and were reluctant to let her go back to work.

Qin Hanshu said: "When the child is older, you can find something to do. It has nothing to do with whether you make money or not. The key is to create value through doing things. Otherwise, with your personality, I'm afraid you will become more and more inferior and insecure."

Although in Qin Hanshu's opinion, Rumei has no need to feel inferior and worry.

Not to mention other aspects of Huo Zhenduo, but in terms of emotions, Qin Hanshu felt that there should be no problem with him.

The two chatted for half an hour, and then Huo Zhenduo came.

Rumei happily moved aside to make room for him.

"I met a madman at the school gate and was delayed for a while." Huo Zhenduo explained.

Rumei was shocked, "A madman would beat someone up, you weren't beaten up, were you?"

Huo Zhenduo grabbed Rumei's hand from under the table and said, "It's okay, it's a girl, it's just..."

"But she can actually call out my name and knows a lot about me." Huo Zhenduo found it very strange.

Moreover, the madman said a lot of crazy things, but he was afraid that Rumei would think too much, so he didn't say anything.

Rumei asked, "Could it be that someone you know is in trouble?"

Huo Zhenduo frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head.

He was sure that he didn't know the madman.

Qin Hanshu, who was sitting opposite him, was listening and a name popped up in his mind.

Could this madman be Hu Wenwen?
