Chapter 98 When we were young, you said you would marry me
"Hello, my name is Yu Qing." Yu Qing smiled faintly.
Smelling the strong smell of medicine on Xue Chongsui, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is Brother Chongsui also studying medicine?"
"Yeah."
Seeing the two of them talking happily, Xue Li lowered his eyes, walked between them, and looked down at his brother in a flat tone:
"It's the weekend, aren't you going to do your homework?"
"I don't have to do homework." Xue Chongsui replied.
"Why?"
“I’m a senior this year.”
He just skipped a grade and went to high school this year. There is not much homework in high school, so he just needs to review on his own. After the college entrance examination, he will officially enter the medical departments of Peking University and Tsinghua University.
The Xue family has high hopes for him.
Not only do I want him to inherit traditional Chinese medicine, I also want him to learn Western medicine.
It is helpful to integrate Chinese and Western cultures, no matter which one is helpful to you.
Xue Li fell silent after hearing this.
He carefully looked at his brother who was only knee-high in front of him, and said with mixed emotions: "You can take the college entrance examination at the age of ten now?!"
He was not allowed to take exams when he was studying, so he joined the army.
This has only been open for a few years, and I have only heard that there is no age restriction. This is the first time I have seen younger candidates.
"Specially recruited students."
Hearing this, Yu Qing couldn't help but give Xue Chongsui a thumbs up and said admiringly: "Brother Chongsui, you are really amazing. You are going to college at such a young age."
Xue Chongsui's face turned rosy when he was praised.
"Stop chatting, your uncles are still waiting."
A woman in a cheongsam approached and waved to Xue Chongsui, "Come here, don't disturb your sister-in-law's first visit."
"oh."
Xue Li glanced at Yu Qing guiltily, then looked at his mother, and asked angrily, "Why are my uncles and aunts here while I'm just waiting for someone?"
"You are the eldest son of the Xue family. It is a big deal for you to carry on the family line. When your uncles and aunts heard that you brought your girlfriend home, they dropped everything and came to give you face."
Xue Li: "..."
He had nothing to say.
I was even worried that the situation would be too big and difficult to resolve.
Xue's mother and Xue Chongsui walked in front, Yu Qing and Xue Li walked behind. He whispered, "Why don't we find an excuse to run away? I think it will be not only the uncles but also the aunts."
"You have a big family."
Yu Qing held the gift box in both hands and became nervous. Thinking about meeting Mr. Xue today, his expression gradually became firm and he said with a firm look, "It's okay. I can handle it."
"All right."
·
Until two o'clock.
Wen Ci woke up and stretched lazily.
The berths on the green train are small, and there is an indescribable unpleasant smell in the corridor compartment, especially when passing through the compartment to get hot water.
She leaned against the head of the bed, thinking about what she should do.
After getting up, Wen Ci went to the hospital.
I want to know how long Huo Jingyuan will rest. If it takes a long time, she plans to develop her career in Beijing. The 1980s was a booming period.
When it was easiest to make money, the country was still in a state of disrepair.
Just after leaving the Beijing Military Region, Wen Ci saw a man in plain clothes squatting outside the gate with a high school math book in his hand.
The gate of the military district is guarded by a guard room at all times, and non-military personnel or family members of the military district are not allowed to enter.
Wen Ci walked over and asked curiously, "Are you reviewing here? Or are you waiting for someone?"
She believes in helping out wherever possible.
Hearing this, the man who was half squatting on the ground raised his head. When he saw Wen Ci clearly, his handsome face showed some joy, "Are you Ah Ci?"
"ah?"
Wen Ci blinked and was a little confused, then asked tentatively: "Who are you?"
The man stood up slowly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and pointed at himself: "I'm Gu Che from Shixing Society. When I was a child, my family lived on the top of a mountain."
"Well……"
Wen Ci had no impression at all.
But with a gentle smile on his face: "Then what are you doing squatting?"
Gu Che sighed, looking at Wen Ci who opened his mouth but hesitated to speak, "Nothing, I'm just waiting for a friend here."
“I see.”
Suddenly, Wen Ci's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time. He hadn't eaten since the instant noodles he had on the train last night, and only drank some water during the journey.
"You haven't eaten yet? How about I treat you to a meal?"
As he spoke, Gu Che took out a few coins from his wrinkled bag and smiled awkwardly, "It's probably not enough for a meal, but it's still enough for two bowls of hot noodles."
"No, I have something else to do."
As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach made a protesting sound again.
Wen Ci couldn't help blushing. Even though she didn't have much impression of the man in front of her, anyone would feel shy after hearing the sound of hunger twice in a row.
At Gu Che's kind invitation.
Wen Ci agreed.
People in the 1980s were simple and honest, and there were several popular sayings: there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting your name on the list of successful candidates.
Wen Ci thought that the relationship among the same mountain should be pretty good.
Gu Che led Wen Ci to a nearby street stall. At that time, all the big factories were laying off employees and encouraging them to start their own street stall economy.
There is a street nearby that is full of snack vendors.
After a while, the hot noodles were served. Gu Che glanced at Wen Ci, who had fair skin, and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the capital?"
"What about you?" Wen Ci asked back.
Gu Che said while eating noodles: "There is no junior high school in our village, so I went to study in the county, and later came to Beijing to study in high school. I will take the college entrance examination soon."
"What about you this year?"
"25 is two years older than you."
Gu Che was born in a poor mountain village. Although he was a boy, he had always been doing farm work at home. He only entered the first grade of elementary school when he was twelve years old.
Because his family is relatively poor and his development is not good, his teens look only slightly older than normal elementary school students.
"What about you?" Gu Che asked again.
"My husband is injured and in the hospital. He is staying in the capital for the time being."
"You're married?" Gu Che's eyes widened in shock, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. He picked up the chopsticks on the ground in a panic and asked:
"Why did you get married so soon?"
"It's okay." Wen Ci replied.
Normal girls in the countryside would get married in their teens, but her adoptive parents, wanting to keep Wen Ci under their control, never found a marriage for her.
“You, you, you…”
Gu Che opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, he sighed and said bitterly: "When we were little, you said you would marry me."
"Did I say that?"
Wen Ci was a little bit convinced but also a little bit unconvinced.
His eyes fell on Gu Che's face. Perhaps his original self, who had suffered cold violence when young, had really said these words to Gu Che, a sunny boy.
But she is not the original one.
Wen Ci smiled and joked: "How can you take childhood words seriously? I heard that you are going to take the college entrance examination. Which university do you plan to apply to?"
"Qingbei!"
