Chapter 630: I Want to Be a Mother When I Grow Up (Page 1/2)
When Huo Junshan heard that his youngest son planned to have only one child, he remained silent.
After all, the family already has many grandchildren, and he really doesn't want his youngest son to follow in the footsteps of his second son, where his wife gave birth to five children in a row.
He was too tired to take care of them, and now he has left his two children to his wife to help take care of them.
His wife was already in poor health and needed careful care. If something happened to her due to overwork, leaving him and his little daughter alone in the world, he really didn't know how to go on living.
Huo Qinghuan actively responded to the national policy of late marriage and late childbirth, and fewer and better births, and Huo Li did not object to this.
For him, it was enough for his grandson to manage his own life properly. He didn't want Qinghuan to be like Qingyan, entangled in these family trivialities and making a mess of his originally peaceful life.
Xiao Ya said, "Qing Huan, no matter whether your future wife gives birth to a boy or a girl, I think it's best to have two. Otherwise, when you and your wife grow old and pass away, your child will be alone.
"Mom, it's enough for me to give birth to one child. Even if my future daughter-in-law only gives birth to one child, how can he be lonely?
My eldest and second brothers have several children. Aren’t Ningning and Chenchen the brothers of my children?
Even if my wife and I die in old age, he still has his brothers and sisters, his wife and children, right? "
"Well... well, if you said you'd just have one, then just have one! Let's put the issue of having children aside for now. Your second sister-in-law is right. You really should find a wife to live with."
Huo Qinghuan didn't want to make her mother angry, so she said politely, "Mom, let's talk about this next year!"
Xiao Ya was so happy to see her son finally agree to find a wife. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your father and I will prepare the betrothal gifts for you. You can find a wife for us next year."
Huo Qinghuan touched his nose awkwardly and smiled awkwardly, "We'll talk about it later!"
Huo Li cleared his throat and said, "In August, the top leaders held a meeting with the Ministry of Education and announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. Hasn't Qinghuan been reviewing? She can take the exam once it's resumed."
Although Huo Qinghuan had been mentally prepared, he was very excited when he heard his grandfather say that the senior leader proposed to resume the college entrance examination.
Once he gets into college, his parents won't urge him to get married anymore! After all, he has to find a wife who shares his ideals.
"Grandpa, the senior leaders held a meeting and proposed to resume the college entrance examination. When will it be announced?"
"It should be soon. Just prepare well for the exam."
Huo Qinghuan thought, why not copy some exam preparation materials and sell them to people in need, maybe he could make a lot of money.
He needs to go to the bookstore and buy more of that physics and chemistry series, and then sell them to his classmates who didn't buy the books at a higher price. They probably won't report him.
When Song Jingjing heard the news that the college entrance examination would be resumed, her heart was instantly stirred.
She couldn't help but start thinking, should she also seize this opportunity to apply to a university?
If I can really successfully get into university, then maybe I won’t have to stay at home and take care of my children all day, and I can start a new journey in life.
Not only the eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family is a college student, but she is too!
So, Song Jingjing asked Huo Li expectantly, "Grandpa, are all high school graduates from previous years eligible to take the college entrance examination? Is that true?"
Huo Li, who was sitting next to him, nodded slightly to express his affirmation: "That's true, but do you really plan to take the college entrance examination?
Not to mention that once the college entrance examination is resumed, a large number of candidates will emerge from all over the country. The fierce competition can be imagined. It is not easy to get into university.
What's more, so many years have passed and you haven't reviewed your lessons systematically. Are you really sure you can pass the exam?
Also, don't you already have a stable job? You're pretty much guaranteed a 'iron rice bowl', so why are you suddenly thinking about going to college?"
Facing the old man's series of questions and concerns, Song Jingjing firmly replied, "My sister-in-law is a college student. Seeing how outstanding she is, I also want to give it a try to see if I have the ability."
However, Huo Qingyan objected without hesitation: "Absolutely not! Regardless of whether you can pass the exam or not, if you do pass, what will happen to your children at home? You can't leave them without someone to take care of them!"
Song Jingjing quickly said, "We can pay someone to help look after the children!"
Huo Qingyan frowned and responded seriously, "You're almost thirty years old, why are you still bothering with studying?"
But Song Jingjing showed no sign of backing down. She pouted and said stubbornly, "So what if I'm almost thirty? Who says you can't study when you're older?"
Regardless of the final result, whether I pass or not, I want to prove myself through this exam!"
Seeing this, Huo Qingyan hurried forward to stop her, but Huo Junshan blocked her way with his hand. Huo Junshan said with a firm face, "Since Xiao Song wants to take the exam, let her go!"

They all know what this college entrance examination means to everyone who wants to change their destiny.
Looking across the country, countless candidates are preparing to take this big test of life with dreams and hopes.
Among them are not only fresh high school graduates, but also those who have experienced special times and those who have taken the exams for the third year in a row. With such a large number of applicants, the competition is fierce.
For Song Jingjing, it had been eleven or twelve years since she last touched a book. She hadn't reviewed anything in such a long time, and the knowledge had probably become unfamiliar.
Thinking of this, Huo Junshan thought to himself that if Song Jingjing could still successfully get into university under such circumstances, then he would just hang himself with his trouser belt. Anyway, he felt that Song Jingjing would not be able to get in.
It’s just a pity for her grandchildren. If she fails the exam, she will definitely blame the children for being too noisy.
However, Huo Qingyan did not understand his father's true thoughts deep down.
He continued to persuade Song Jingjing earnestly: "Jingjing, just listen to me and stay home to take good care of the children. It won't be too late for you to return to work when the children grow up."
But Song Jingjing's eyes revealed an unprecedented persistence and determination. She answered without hesitation: "No, I must seize this opportunity to prove myself!"
Hearing this, Huo Qingyan couldn't help but frown and asked, "What if you don't pass the exam?"
Song Jingjing took a deep breath and responded firmly, "If I really don't pass the exam, then I will willingly stay home and take good care of the children. I won't have any other unreasonable expectations."
Just when the two were deadlocked, Huo Li, who had been sitting at the table in silence, suddenly knocked on the table hard and said loudly:
"Okay, you two, stop arguing! Since Xiao Song has decided to take the exam, let's support her.
Once the country officially announces the resumption of the college entrance examination, you should hurry up and register.
If you finally get into university, you can go to school with peace of mind; if you unfortunately fail, it doesn’t matter, just stay at home and take care of your children.
Wait until Anran and Anyan are over two years old, then you can return to work."
Huo Yining tugged at Lin Man's sleeve and asked softly, "Mom, are we really going to resume the college entrance examination?"
Lin Man nodded, "Well, the college entrance examination may be resumed today, but there are a lot of candidates this year, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to pass the college entrance examination without a certain degree of confidence.
Even for candidates from the new three classes, it would be difficult to pass the exam if they don’t study hard, because the admission scores for candidates from the new three classes are higher than those from the old three classes.”
"Ah...! I see! Then wouldn't it be better if I took the college entrance exam tomorrow?"
"There won't be as many people next year, but the exam might be harder, so, son, if you want to get into university, you have to study hard."
Huo Yining nodded, "Mom, I will definitely study hard and try to get into the military academy."
At this time, Huo Yian interrupted and said, "Mom, I want to apply to Renmin University."
Huo Yiwen said, "I want to get into Tsinghua University. My sister is applying to Peking University, so let her study medicine."
Huo Yixin retorted, "I'm not studying medicine. Why don't my brothers study medicine? Mom used to tell Dad that if you persuade someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning, but if you persuade someone to study law, you'll be cut into pieces."
Lin Man covered Huo Yixin's mouth with her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little kid."
Everyone in the Huo family looked at Lin Man. Song Jingjing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I never thought that my brother is a doctor. You don't like to persuade people to study medicine."
Lin Man let go of her hand and explained slowly, "This was someone else's joke to tease Qingci. I know how hard it is to be a doctor, so I started this joke with him too.
It's not that studying medicine is bad, it's just that it's too hard. As for what the children want to study in the future, I follow their wishes. Just like Ningning said he wants to apply to a military academy, I support him.
"Oh, really? Then Qinghuan, what major do you want to study when you go to university?" Song Jingjing asked Huo Qinghuan with a smile.
Huo Qinghuan said, "I haven't decided what I want to study yet. Second sister-in-law, can you ask your Yichen what he wants to study when he grows up?"
At this time, Huo Yichen walked up to Huo Qingyan and said, "Uncle, when I grow up, I want to be a teacher like you."
"Okay, okay, where there's a will there's a way. I hope you can realize your dream!"
When Song Jingjing heard that her son wanted to be a teacher, she immediately became unhappy. Even if he didn't go to military school, he could apply to the National People's Congress and work in a government agency. Why did he want to be a teacher?
Doesn’t he know that being a teacher means suffering so much?
Huo Qingyan didn't think there was anything wrong with his son's ideal. If his son could really get into university when he grew up, it would not be bad for him to become a teacher.
He waved at Huo Yingzi and said, "Zizi, come and tell Dad what you want to be when you grow up."
"I want to be a mother when I grow up."
"What? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly!"
"Dad, when I grow up I want to be a mom and have a bunch of kids, and they all have to listen to me."
