They didn't stop until all three people's backpacks were full.
"Let's take a break." Wu Guixiang said, feeling a little tired as she was old.
"good."
The three of them found a clean big rock and sat down to rest.
"With so many hazel mushrooms, we can probably get several kilograms by drying them in the sun." Li Xiu Lian was delighted when she saw the basket full of hazel mushrooms.
Wu Guixiang thought for a moment and said, "It's already September, and Sisi is over six months pregnant. So she should be born around the end of the year, right? December?"
"Yes." Li Xiulian nodded, her face full of smiles. "It's almost Chinese New Year. This child's arrival is auspicious."
Although pregnancy lasts ten months, most pregnant women give birth around nine months. Wen Sisi's pregnancy period is around the Chinese New Year in December. Although it is not the Spring Festival, it is also a very festive day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
"Our family's life is getting better and better." Wu Guixiang sighed.
They sat in the woods, halfway up the mountain. Through the layers of trees, they could see the green mountains and people in the distance. The three of them quietly imagined the future with gentle smiles on their faces.
After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, the gloomy clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, replaced by a clear blue sky. The three of them watched as the sun came out from the gap, casting a dazzling light, and the sky cleared up in an instant.
"The weather changes so quickly. The sun is out at this time." Wu Guixiang muttered.
Li Xiulian smiled and said, "Mom, didn't you just say that? Our family's life is getting better and better, just like the weather, it's clearing up."
Wu Guixiang glanced at her in surprise. "Big Boss's Wife, why didn't I realize you're so good at talking before?"
"Don't we all have to make progress?" Li Xiu Lian smiled even more.
"That's right, we all need to make progress!" Wu Guixiang nodded. "As the country gets better, so do we."
Su Qingyun looked at the sun in the sky with a smile. He was right. Their family's life would get better and better.
Looking back to this time last year, she had just come into this world and was still a little uneasy inside. Now this place has truly become her home.
At this time last year, she thought that knowledge could change her destiny, and studying was the only way forward. She had just returned to school, and time flew by. In just one year, Su Qingyun had never imagined that so many things would happen.
It is now September 1976. Just wait another year, by this time next year, September 1977, the Ministry of Education will hold a national college admissions conference in Beijing. At this conference, the important resolution to resume the college entrance examination will be formally established, which will be a historic turning point.
Su Qingyun smiled. She was waiting for the day that would change the fate of countless people.
"Get up, let's pick up some more." After sitting for a while, Wu Guixiang stood up and said.
"good."
Although the backpacks were already full, there was still some extra space if they pressed it lightly. The three of them walked around and picked up some more. Time passed unknowingly and the sky gradually became overcast again.
Wu Guixiang looked at the sky and said, "The sun is setting, let's go down the mountain too."
Li Xiulian said: "Okay"
Su Qingyun also nodded, and the three of them walked down the mountain. When they were halfway down the mountain, Su Qingyun suddenly looked up at the sky.
The sun sets? The sun sets?
She suddenly stopped and looked at the gray sky. Her whole body stiffened and her face solidified inch by inch. The blood in her body turned cold and the coldness seeped into the joints of her bones.
Su Qingyun couldn't control her teeth from chattering, her face was pale and horrifying. She felt that everything in front of her turned black and white, her head was dizzy, as if it was a ball of messy cotton wool.
September 1976! September 1976!
How could she forget? How could she forget!
Su Qingyun was trembling all over and her legs were weak. She collapsed to the ground, which scared Wu Guixiang and Li Xiu Lian.
"Baby, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Wu Guixiang was frightened and held Su Qingyun tightly.
Li Xiulian was also frightened, "Yunyun, what's wrong with you?"
"Grandma, Auntie, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll rest for a while." Su Qingyun responded to Wu Guixiang completely subconsciously. She raised her lifeless eyes and asked Wu Guixiang, "Grandma, what day is it today?"
Wu Guixiang was taken aback. She didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly, but she still answered, "Number 4."
"Number 4, Number 4!" Su Qingyun muttered and repeated it over and over again, as if she was possessed by a demon. She lowered her head, not wanting them to see her extremely ugly face.
"Five more days, five more days." Su Qingyun said this in a very soft voice, so soft that only she could hear it.
Su Qingyun closed his eyes. In five days, the sun would set.
"Baby, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable from time to time?" Wu Guixiang was very worried when she saw her like this.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll sit down and relax for a while."
"Okay, okay, you take a rest and we'll go down the mountain slowly."
"Yes, yes, no rush."
Wu Guixiang and Li Xiu Lian looked at Su Qingyun who lowered her head, and did not dare to say anything to disturb her.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingyun finally regained her composure. She stood up and tried to force a smile, "Grandma, I'm fine."
Wu Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of worry, "Baby, what's wrong with you? Tell me if you have any problem. Don't hold it in if you feel uncomfortable."
"Yes, Yunyun." Li Xiu Lian also looked worried.
"It's really okay. I might be tired. My legs felt a little weak just now." Su Qingyun explained.
"Are you really okay?"
"fine."
"Okay, let's walk slowly." Wu Guixiang looked at her with extreme caution, as if she were fragile porcelain.
Su Qingyun knew that her behavior just now had scared her grandmother, so she tried her best to act like nothing was wrong on the way down the mountain. Wu Guixiang finally smiled and felt relieved.
Finally returning home, Su Qingyun put down the backpack and said to Wu Guixiang, "Grandma, I'm going back to my room to rest for a while and will come out for dinner later."
"Okay, go quickly." Wu Guixiang was actually still thinking about Su Qingyun's pale face. She thought for a moment and said, "Grandma will make you chicken stewed with mushrooms."
The chicken in the yard is about the same age.
"Thank you, grandma! You are the best!" Su Qingyun smiled with curved eyebrows.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, Wu Guixiang finally felt relieved.
Su Qingyun returned to the room and just as she closed the door, her smiling face disappeared instantly.
She lay on the bed with a wry smile. How could she only think about the resumption of the college entrance examination and forget such an important thing?
