First update
After seeing Zhuo Liang off, the couple talked for a while and began to sort out the things sent by their parents-in-law.
Gu Cheng's face darkened as he looked at it. "What the hell are these things? Just this? This old bellyband... Oh my god, there's also this."
"Stop talking, I'm scared." Qin Yao felt a little dizzy. These things all had "historical allusions". How naughty was this Gu guy in front of her when he was a child.
Gu Cheng said decisively without any hesitation: "Throw it away, throw it all away."
"Keep some of it that can be used. Maybe your son can use it." Comrade Qin Yao said coldly.
Qin Yao touched her belly. She was in very uncomfortable condition and needed someone to take care of her. Her third sister-in-law Xie Hongni said that she would come and take care of her for a few months when she was further along in the pregnancy.
This is possible, but it will separate the third brother and his wife. Qin Yao feels bad about it and thinks it would be better if she can find a suitable job for her third brother closer to the family compound. In this way, the couple can be reunited more often and the two families can take care of each other.
"I'll go and help find out." Gu Cheng said.
Qin Yao nodded.
She took out the manuscript of "Female Militia Leaf" which she had written in the past few months and asked Gu Cheng to help her copy it. Qin Yao originally planned to write a short story of 80,000 to 90,000 words, but as she wrote more inspiration came to her, and the story reached nearly 200,000 words. It took her several months to finish it, and now all that was left was to revise the manuscript and do some transcribing.
Qin Yao is still in her early months and can still write two to three thousand words by hand every day. She asked Gu Cheng to help her copy them.
Gu Cheng agreed.
"There's no rush. I'll make money slowly." Qin Yao sighed. Now that she was pregnant and exhausted, she didn't have the energy to do anything. Giving birth is not a fun thing, especially when it consumes physical and mental energy.
Fortunately, she still had the favorability system with her, so she stayed with Chen Baozhen and Gu Cheng, and her body was nourished all the time, and she felt very comfortable.
Her due date is around the Spring Festival, which is a convenient time for Gu Cheng to take a vacation. Qin Yao asked him to make preparations in advance and it would be best if he could be in the delivery room on the same day to accompany her during the birth. With him by her side to enhance their favorability, she probably wouldn't have to suffer too much.
"What's the point of making so much money?" Before getting married, Gu Cheng was basically a person who didn't spend money. He was drifting on the sea and had no chance to spend money even if he wanted to. At most, he would buy some gifts for his family during his annual vacation, and he had no other expenses.
After marrying Qin Yao, he spent a lot of money to decorate the new house and buy various furniture, but it was only one year's salary he had saved in the past. He had been in the army for more than ten years, and his savings were not as vast as the sea, but they were also a well with an endless supply of water that could withstand the expenses.
Even if there are two more children in the future, Gu Cheng will never worry about not being able to raise them. "Let alone two children, we can also raise five or seven children."
Qin Yao said expressionlessly: "Raising a child is not about money."
"I can afford to support ten of them."
Qin Yao kicked his calf: "Be careful or I'll hit you."
"Children are difficult to manage, you will take care of them when the time comes."
Gu Cheng said lightly: "I will take care of it. I am a first-class manager. I have taken care of hundreds or even thousands of people. Why would I be afraid of just two children?"
"I wish you can always keep this confidence, and I wish you can have the same luck as your father and taste your son's urine." Qin Yao closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a sincere wish.
"You..." Gu Cheng sat next to his wife with a big horse and a golden sword. He felt that he could not lose the battle even if he lost the person. "Do you believe in Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine boy's urine is quite useful. This is a good fortune. I wish my husband and I can enjoy it together."
After saying that, he also imitated Qin Yao, clasped his hands together, and made a silent wish.
Qin Yao opened her eyes and was so angry at his words that she hugged the man's neck and rushed forward, sitting on Gu Cheng's legs and strangling his neck.
"Captain Gu, you are so shameless now!"
“Same here.”
Qin Yao leaned on Gu Cheng's chest, drowsy. She was not very worried about the future. Her job was easy anyway and could be completed in one or two hours a day. The rest of the time was just "reading, reading newspapers and studying." Of course, for writers like them, spending a lot of time reading current affairs newspapers and caring about national affairs every day was part of their job.
Now it is 1973, and next year is 1974. There are still four years before the college entrance examination is resumed, and five or six years before the economy is liberalized.
Qin Yao does not plan to take the college entrance examination.
She studied for more than twenty years, got a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, and finally started working and became a happy free person in society. She must be crazy to take the college entrance examination again to go to university.
She is a liberal arts student, so there is no need for her to go to college to get a diploma. She doesn't believe that the quality of teaching now can be as good as in the future. Since she can't learn anything in college, why waste the time.
Many people go to college for a diploma, and a diploma is for employment. Qin Yao is not interested in a stable job and does not need that piece of paper.
As for getting rich... Qin Yao doesn't have much ambition to make money. She wants to do something that interests her, such as a magazine, a publishing house, and a coffee shop.
These are relatively ordinary. If she becomes richer in the future, she dreams of building a private zoo, buying a small island, and developing a vacation project.
In the future, I will support a group of authors, write in cafes, interact with nature in zoos, and volunteer in island resorts...
It's really unbelievable. Qin Yao used to only want to raise a few cats when she had the energy. Now that she is in the 1970s and has the opportunity to make money, her ambition is not just to have a few kittens.
If you own a zoo, not to mention raising cats, raising a big cat with the word "king" on its head is no problem.
There will also be a dolphinarium, a panda house, an elephant house...
Qin Yao never dared to think about opening a zoo before, but now it just so happens that her twin brother is a keeper in a zoo. In the future, she will have the perfect opportunity to learn management experience, and she also has connections that can help her introduce resources.
All of the above require money and funds. Where does the money come from?
——Go and take advantage of the heroine Bai Qiuling
Before Qin Yao transmigrated into the book, she had read a lot of period literature. The heroines of these period literature, like Bai Qiuling, took the college entrance examination after their rebirth, and went to college to prepare for postgraduate studies. At the same time, they did not forget to start their own businesses, set up stalls, opened factories, and sold clothes, shoes, and fast food...
The 1980s was a golden age for entrepreneurship. Qin Yao could make money by wholesale clothing or opening a clothing factory, but there was no need for her to do these things personally.
Bai Qiuling is the original heroine. It will definitely be worthwhile to save money and invest in her business. Bai Qiuling will definitely need a partner when she starts her own business in the future. Qin Yao plans to invest and let the original heroine Bai Qiuling make money, while she and Chen Baozhen can just take advantage of the opportunity and reap the benefits.
Investing in the heroine, drinking the big broth and becoming a happy "soup master" is definitely a business that is sure to make money.
Thinking of this, Qin Yao became happier and happier.
"What are you laughing at? You're drooling." Gu Cheng looked down at her. The woman in his arms was laughing foolishly to herself, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Qin Yao squinted her eyes, like a lazy little kitten: "I thought of a good thing."
Gu Cheng smiled and lowered his head to rub her neck. Qin Yao pushed him away: "It's itchy."
"Let me hold you for a while longer." Gu Cheng rubbed her cheek. Only when their skins were touching like this did he feel the reality of being back with her.
Qin Yao fantasized for an hour or two, and then came out of her virtual happiness. If she really wanted to open a zoo, it would take at least five or six years, or even seven or eight years. For now, she had to live a good life and save money.
Alas, Qin Yao sighed softly.
*
Gu Cheng went home earlier, and whenever he was free in the evening he would always go out for a walk with Qin Yao. Occasionally they would meet Chen Baozhen and Gao Jianguo.
Chen Baozhen is one month older than Qin Yao. Gao Jianguo feels inexplicably proud, thinking that this is a fate given by God. His child is older, older than Gu Cheng's, haha.
He said to Gu Cheng proudly: "Your family is full of brothers and sisters."
Gu Cheng glanced at him calmly, not caring about it. "It's just one or two months, how much difference can it make?"
"Yaoyao, come to my house for dinner?" Chen Baozhen broke away from Gao Jianguo and tried to help Qin Yao. Seeing this, Gu Cheng stepped forward and stood between the two of them, protecting his wife from all sides. He winked at Gao Jianguo and said, "Don't let these two dangerous people get together."
Qin Yao hugged Gu Cheng's arm and gave Chen Baozhen a "helpless" look.
The two are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, separated by the two little sparrows beside them.
"Yaoyao, I'll come to your house to see you tomorrow."
Qin Yao nodded: "Okay."
The baby was too old, and Qin Yao was thinking about keeping up with prenatal education. Chen Baozhen had a lot of classical music records, so she gave her a few. Qin Yao always listened to them for a while before going to bed.
At this time, she also learned accordion from Chen Baozhen and played "Auld Lang Syne" by herself.
Chen Baozhen taught her to play the accordion in the yard, and the music floated in the air.
Zhou Jiajia from next door likes to play the harmonica. The harmonica is the cheapest and most fashionable musical instrument, and every family has one. But compared with the accordion, the harmonica's range of sound is a bit monotonous.
The two of them were learning the accordion, while Zhou Jiajia was watching eagerly in the next yard.
Qin Yao said: "Jia Jia, do you want to learn? Come here."
Zhou Jiajia walked to the yard next door curiously, took the piano from Qin Yao's hand, and started playing it in an imitative manner.
"You held it wrong. You should put your hand like this, yes, like this..." Chen Baozhen instructed her. Zhou Jiajia looked up at her shyly.
Teacher Chen has a very nice voice. Her mother Zaohua warned her to have less contact with Teacher Chen, but she couldn't help it. She felt that Teacher Chen was the most elegant woman she had ever met.
Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen, two pregnant women, played with their instruments for a while and then put them down, leaving Zhou Jiajia to play the accordion alone.
Qin Yao stroked her belly and felt that this kind of prenatal education was very harmonious, as if she was carrying two well-behaved babies in her belly.
"Jia Jia! Jia Jia!" Sister Zaohua's voice suddenly came from the yard next door. Zhou Jiajia glanced at her own mother and her face was filled with panic.
When Sister Zaohua saw Chen Baozhen, her face looked extremely unhappy.
Chen Baozhen's reputation in the staff quarters has improved a lot in the past year, but Zaohua still has some prejudice against her and is afraid that her daughter will learn the same thing as her.
Musical instruments, what’s the point of learning them? It's just noise.
This accordion is not cheap. It's for children. Zaohua doesn't want her daughter to ask for an accordion. It's so expensive. What's the use of this thing?
Seeing this, Chen Baozhen sat up straight and coughed.
Qin Yao invited, "Sister-in-law, there is an accordion here. Do you want to come over and try it out together, mother and daughter?"
Zaohua: “Ah?”
Zaohua subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she was also curious about this new thing she had never touched before. Before in the village, she had only heard people playing the trumpet, the erhu, and at most the flute.
Everyone seems to have a yearning for music when they were young. Zaohua also played the erhu when she was young and could play a few phrases of "Happy New Year". As for the flute... she had never played it. It is too unpleasant to hear ordinary people playing the flute, all of which is a whistling sound of air flow.
"this--"
"Come on, Jia Jia, teach your mother."
Zhou Jiajia stammered as she taught her mother how to play the accordion. She felt a little impatient because she thought her mother was so stupid. Apart from washing clothes, cooking and doing housework, she could not learn anything else. Her father asked her to learn, but she refused.
How can I learn to play the accordion when I am so clumsy?
Sister Zaohua took the accordion and started playing it in an imitative manner. The sound was very pleasant.
Chen Baozhen noticed Zaohua's hands. Her hands were black, with ten slender fingers covered with calluses, but they were surprisingly flexible and both hands were neat.
"It seems quite simple." Sister Zaohua likes this little thing in her hand. It is not like a flute or erhu. The sounds it makes are all so nice.
Chen Baozhen praised: "Sister-in-law, you are talented."
Sister Zaohua was furious and thought, bullshit, Teacher Chen praises everyone for their talent.
Qin Yao said, "You learn faster than Jiajia and play better. Baozhen praised Jiajia for her musical talent before. I think she inherited it from you, sister-in-law."
The accordion requires the coordination of both hands and the ability to press the keys on both sides without confusion. People like Zaohua and her daughter can be considered talented.
"Xiao Qin, you are really good at talking." This time, Sister Zaohua couldn't help but believe it. Chen Baozhen taught her some more details, and Zaohua played the simple song very well.
It was dark when Zaohua returned the accordion to Qin Yao reluctantly after studying for a long time.
Zhou Jiajia whispered, "Mom, it seems like we haven't cooked at home."
"It's bad."
Zaohua was startled at this time, and then looked at Qin Yao. Qin Yao didn't go to cook either, but today the men came back, Gu Cheng prepared the meal and invited Qin Yao to come in to eat.
Sister Zaohua returned home and hurriedly prepared to cook. Political Commissar Zhou came out of the study and asked, "When are we going to eat?"
"Wait a moment."
"Why are you doing this so late? I'm starving."
Sister Zaohua buried her head in the kitchen, but for some reason she felt unhappy with this man.
