Chapter 167 Chapter 167 End of the text
In early June 1979, Cheng Yu set off for Northeast Polytechnic University.
A week later, he called Su Tianli as agreed and told her the good news - he had passed the special recruitment exam and became Jiang Yao's student with the first place in the written test.
Yes, after more than half a year of rest, Jiang Yao's health has improved a little.
But his physical condition was no longer suitable for staying in the satellite city and continuing to engage in heavy physical research.
So the organization transferred him back to Northeast University of Technology and let him engage in relatively easy teaching work.
Cheng Yu and several other special recruits were retained by Jiang Yao, who gave them special lessons and customized study plans.
As for Su Tianli,
A month later, she and her friends entered the college entrance examination hall.
The exam was over three days later, and the students were both happy and worried.
Su Tianli was calm and composed.
Su Qianzi was also confident.
Yao Meiyu is not very confident...
As for Mao Li, she had lowered her expectations early on, so she wasn't too worried.
…
More than half a month later, the college entrance examination results came out.
Everyone was shocked.
Then, acceptance letters came in one after another.
Su Tianli got the admission letter from Yat-sen University School of Medicine without any suspense.
Su Qianzi's score reached the undergraduate entrance line. Her first choice, South China University of Technology, was rejected, but she received an admission letter from the Department of Architectural Design of Guangdong University of Technology.
Yao Meiyu's score also reached the undergraduate line. Her first choice, Yixian University School of Medicine, and her second choice, Chongqing Army Medical University, were both rejected. She was admitted to a medical university in Liaoning, her third choice.
Mao Li did not meet the undergraduate admission requirement, but was admitted to the junior college program at Guangzhou University of Finance and Economics.
Zhang Wei performed exceptionally well and his score barely passed the undergraduate line. He was admitted to the undergraduate school of Guangzhou University of Finance and Economics. He and Mao Li were not in the same campus.
Ajuan was not good at studying and was forced by Su Tianli to take the college entrance examination. She only scored around 200 points and failed.
What made Su Tiancai overjoyed was that his college entrance examination score was actually quite good! He barely passed the junior college line, slipped through the first choice, and got the admission notice of Guangzhou University's law school, his second choice!
Next, some are happy while others are sad.
Most of the friends, including Su Tianli, were very happy.
Those who are not very happy include Zhang Wei and Yao Meiyu.
Zhang Wei was unhappy because he felt that he had performed well, but he did not expect that Mao Li's performance was average... He had originally been thinking whether he could use these few years in college to re-cultivate his relationship with Mao Li.
Now it seems that although he and Mao Li are still in the same university, the undergraduate and junior college departments are not in the same campus.
The unhappiest and most conflicted person is Yao Meiyu.
In fact, she was quite happy, because she could get this score thanks to Su Tianli's help. She always believed that the college entrance examination score was the highlight of her life.
What made her unhappy was that she couldn't reach Su Tianli's level, so she slipped away and went to a medical university in Northeast China.
"Lizhi, I want to be with you," Yao Meiyu said to Su Tianli with tears in her eyes, holding the admission letter, "If you are not around to take care of me, I am afraid I will fall flat again..."
"What if I lose my fighting spirit?"
“What if no one is nice to me?”
"Lizhi, why don't I repeat the grade?"
Su Tianli was both amused and confused. "Actually, you did quite well this time! If you were to repeat the year, can you guarantee that you could do even better?"
Yao Meiyu shook her head desperately.
"That's it!" Su Tianli comforted her silly bestie, "Don't worry, we're separated this time, so just keep in touch! Also, you can choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination and come back! After you come back, you can continue to be with me!"
Yao Meiyu was extremely depressed. "Come on, I can't even get into Yixian University for undergraduate studies, and I'm still dreaming about taking the postgraduate entrance exam!"
Su Tianli comforted her, "Don't worry! The postgraduate entrance exam is definitely easier than the undergraduate entrance exam!"
"Studying medicine is not like studying other subjects. Your undergraduate program is five years long. Even if you are a freshman in high school, you will be 23 or 24 years old in five years..."
"I'm not saying this, but everyone's economic situation is like this now. Even if there are government subsidies, tuition waivers and living allowances, which family doesn't expect their children to work and earn money when they grow up?"
"That's what it means - rich people can't get into medical school, and those who can get into medical school don't have money."
"But this phenomenon doesn't exist in your case. Because your family is not short of money...so, there must be few people competing with you for the postgraduate entrance examination!"
These words put Yao Meiyu's mind at ease. "Then I will - separate from you for five years! I will definitely come back after five years!"
Su Tianli nodded with a smile.
Of course, Su Tianli also called Cheng Yu who was far away in the Northeast as agreed.
As soon as the call was connected——
She heard Cheng Yu's voice and smiled before she spoke.
Cheng Yu was stunned, "...Lychee?"
Su Tianli smiled because Cheng Yu, a native of Guangzhou, had been in Northeast China for less than two months, and when he answered the phone, he already had a Northeastern accent when he said "Hello".
But when he said a few more words, the familiar Cantonese accent returned.
Su Tianli then told Cheng Yu that everyone had received their admission letters.
Cheng Yu was very happy, "I knew you would pass the exam."
Su Tianli pursed her lips and smiled.
After the two chatted for a while...
Su Tianli suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
However, she rarely had the opportunity to talk to Cheng Yu and hear his voice.
unexpectedly--
Su Tianli paused for just one second.
The sensitive Cheng Yu asked anxiously, "Lizhi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable," Su Tianli forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her stomach and said with a smile, "I had glutinous rice and chicken for breakfast, and I feel a little stomachache now."
Cheng Yu said, "Let's make some black tea and press it down."
Su Tianli smiled and agreed, then stared at her watch to check the time, and hurriedly arranged the time for her next phone call with him.
The two chatted for a while, and it took about three minutes...
The phone was disconnected.
Su Tianli felt sweet in her heart, but her stomach felt sour.
She turned and left, wanting to find some water to drink to calm the burning sensation in her stomach...
But after she took a few steps, she couldn't control the nausea that was rising from her stomach.
Su Tianli felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but vomit.
Her first reaction was: after vomiting, her stomach felt less uncomfortable.
Second reaction: Fortunately, all I vomited was clean water... It's really unbelievable. After just a few mouthfuls of clean water, my mind and chest seemed to be clear, as if all the discomfort disappeared at once.
The third reaction: Actually, she didn’t eat sticky rice and chicken this morning. She just didn’t want Cheng Yu to worry. In fact, her stomach seemed to be uneasy these days. It wasn’t stomach pain, but she always felt a burning sensation from time to time…
etc!
Su Tianli held her chest and stood there blankly, her mind suddenly going blank!
A thought quietly crept into my mind - could she be pregnant?
Su Tianli was confused.
She slowly moved her hand to her lower abdomen.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems... her menstrual period really disappeared after Cheng Yu left.
It has been almost two months since Cheng Yu left Guangzhou.
She had lost her appetite these days, and her limbs were thinner than before, but she felt that her waist was getting thicker and her abdomen was firmer.
But Su Tianli thought that her lack of local exercise, for example, she rarely did waist and abdominal exercises, caused her to gain weight.
I never thought that she might be pregnant.
To be honest, Su Tianli's life plan has always been well organized.
In her future, career will come first, Cheng Yu will come second, and Shiqing Company will come third.
The only thing she hadn't planned...
She will get pregnant and have a baby.
So, if she is really pregnant, is the baby coming at the right time?
However, Su Tianli did not dwell on it for too long.
Although she had no plans to have children,
But since there is a possibility of getting pregnant and having a baby, it should be arranged as soon as possible.
She went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed that she was six and a half weeks pregnant with a single live baby. The due date was mid-February next year, and maybe it would be a New Year's Eve baby.
Soon, Su Tianli began to think about the next question - it was only July now, and she was diagnosed with pregnancy. She would be in the second half of her freshman year, what should she do? Should she take a leave of absence?
Su Tianli thinks there is no need to drop out of school.
She was even very happy and felt that the timing of her pregnancy was just right!
——Look! Her due date is in mid-February, which is around the New Year's Eve. That means she only needs to finish her freshman year courses to give birth to the baby, and she can also complete the confinement period during the Spring Festival!
Thinking of this, Su Tianli touched her belly happily, thinking that this angel baby loved his mother so much that he even chose the right time to be born!
As for pregnancy, childbirth, confinement and raising children, Su Tianli believes that these should not be a problem.
During pregnancy, school and work remain the same;
As for childbirth and confinement, Cheng Yu also came back during the Spring Festival, and her sister Su Qianzi could also help;
Taking care of children is indeed a bit difficult. If you really can’t do it, just hire a nanny!
A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Soon, everyone knew that Su Tianli was pregnant.
Su Dejun was so happy!
He immediately wrote a crooked handwritten letter back to his hometown in Shaoguan, to his second brother:
[Second brother, younger sister-in-law,
Hello,
My daughter Lizhi is pregnant. The doctor said she might give birth during the Chinese New Year. I would like to ask you to help raise 100 chickens for Lizhi to use during her confinement. I will buy them at the market price.
Brother Su Dejun
Next, Su Dejun began to arrange things:
Since Lizhi is pregnant, it is better for her to live in the school dormitory than to ride a bike back and forth to the courtyard on Panful Road every day.
But living on campus is not good either. The food and accommodation are not good.
The best thing would be to rent a house near the school, and he could move there and cook for Lizhi every day.
Rent a bigger house.
Su Qianzi and Su Tiancai can also go there to eat and stay after school every day.
Su Tianli seriously considered her father's suggestion.
Although she didn't really want to pay attention to him,
But his arrangement,
No doubt is the best solution at the moment.
Su Tianli agreed.
Su Dejun was so happy that he ran to the school to look at houses...
Of course, Su Tianli also sent a concise telegram to Cheng Yu immediately:
[My wife is six and a half weeks pregnant and I hope you will come back to celebrate National Day with me]
Then Su Tianli called Old Lady Xu in Beijing and informed her of the situation.
Old Mrs. Xu was overjoyed.
Because Cheng Yu and Su Tianli were not only the first couple in the third generation of the Xu family to get married, but they were also the first couple to have a child...
Old Mrs. Xu was too excited and couldn't control her emotions, and she burst into tears on the phone.
A few days later, Xu Jiaxi rushed over from the northwest, exhausted.
She talked to Su Tianli with tears in her eyes.
Of course, her opening remarks were -
"I've said it all along, husband and wife can't live apart! Lizhi, you should know the reason now, right? Women are particularly sensitive when they are pregnant... The changes in their bodies and senses are secondary. The most important thing is that their emotions and cognition will also become sensitive!"
"At this time, if your lover is not by your side to take care of you, it will be very hard to love!"
"Lizhi, listen to your mother's advice and go to school to apply for a one-year leave of absence. While you are still pregnant, I will send you to the Northeast and arrange a place for you to live near Xiaoyu's school..."
"Lizhi, don't worry, mom will be with you." Xu Jiaxi said with concern.
Su Tianli smiled, "Aunt Xu, thank you for your kindness."
"but--"
"I appreciate your kindness."
"To be honest, I originally... didn't plan on having a child so soon, but if the child wants to come, then I welcome it."
"I have made adjustments now. I will go to school, work and live according to my original plan."
"I am in good health. My child is not a burden to me but my partner. From now on, my child will be involved in everything in my life. I am looking forward to it."
Xu Jiaxi was stunned when she saw Su Tianli like this.
Su Tianli smiled and explained to Xu Jiaxi:
Although Cheng Yu is in the Northeast, her father will take care of her throughout her pregnancy;
Her due date was around New Year's Eve, and Cheng Yu was there at the time;
She will go to school as usual in the second half of the year, and it just so happens that the courses she takes in her freshman year are not that intense;
She had already completed most of the preliminary preparations for work, Shiqing Company, and the hotel, and could now hand it over to Ajuan and Mao Li...
After hearing this, Xu Jiaxi was speechless for a long time.
However, she still looked at Su Tianli in surprise, "Lizhi, I really didn't expect that you would think so carefully!"
There is one more thing she didn’t say:
——It turns out that Lizhi values career and studies so much!
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
During her extremely painful twenty years of marriage, if she hadn't had an extremely demanding job, she would have been driven crazy!
Thinking of this, Xu Jiaxi laughed, "It seems that I am... a little redundant." There was a hint of loss in his tone.
Su Tianli also laughed, "You can't say that, I still have something to ask you for help!"
When Xu Jiaxi heard this, her eyes lit up, "Lizhi, just tell me!"
Su Tianli said seriously: "There is no rush for this matter right now - mainly I want to hire an experienced nanny to help me take care of the baby when the baby is born and I have to go to class."
"My dad would be happy to oblige, but he has no experience with nursing babies."
Xu Jiaxi quickly agreed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Then she asked Su Tianli whether she should notify Cheng Yu.
Su Tianli opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion, "I'm pregnant with his child! As soon as I was diagnosed with pregnancy, of course I...sent him a telegram right away!"
Xu Jiaxi asked again, "Lizhi, I don't mean anything else. I just think that since you and Xiaoyu both take your work very seriously... Look, you have already decided to go to college with your baby, and Chengyu is willing to leave you, his newlywed wife, to go to college thousands of miles away..."
"Then you don't worry. What if Xiaoyu comes back to see you in a hurry, wouldn't it affect his work?" Xu Jiaxi asked cautiously.
Su Tianli smiled, "The child is in my belly. Even if he abandons his studies and comes back to stay with me...what's the point?"
"Aunt Xu, I am Cheng Yu's wife. During the period of my marriage to him, no matter what happens, I will not hide it from him."
"We live in different places because of our studies and careers, but this will not affect our relationship."
"He couldn't help me when I was pregnant, so after the baby is born, I will let him take care of me and the baby more... This will be great."
"I will not deprive him of his responsibilities in marriage and life, and I will not shirk my responsibilities myself."
"Cheng Yu and I are husband and wife. We need to face everything together, even if we are not together."
Xu Jiaxi was stunned.
She looked at Su Tianli in surprise and suddenly laughed.
"I finally understand why Xiaoyu likes you so much." Xu Jiaxi said with a smile, "I know that you and Xiaoyu are both people with plans and are close friends... Then I feel relieved."
As she spoke, Xu Jiaxi sighed, "Lizhi, Mom hopes that in the future... you can treat Mom as your own family member and order her around."
Su Tianli just smiled and said nothing.
How smart Xu Jiaxi is!
Seeing that Lizhi didn't say anything, she understood Lizhi's silent resistance.
Xu Jiaxi was both happy and sad.
Fortunately, Lizhi really felt sorry for Cheng Yu, and she stood by Cheng Yu unconditionally. But Cheng Yu was unwilling to forgive her as a mother, so Lizhi only kept face for her...
The sad thing is, she was such a bad person before! She hurt Xiao Yu so badly, and she didn't know if she could wait for the day when Xiao Yu would forgive her and accept her in this life.
Xu Jiaxi really couldn't help with Su Tianli's pregnancy, so he had to give Su Tianli a large amount of money and let her buy whatever she wanted.
Su Tianli counted it and found that there were almost two hundred yuan.
When He Jingdong heard that Xu Jiaxi had returned, he hurried to find Xu Jiaxi, probably wanting to get back together.
However, Xu Jiaxi should have predicted He Jingdong's intention.
So Xu Jiaxi only stayed in Guangzhou for one day and returned to the Northwest the next day.
He Jingdong came excitedly.
In vain...
And very lost.
However, something interesting happened:
When He Jingdong heard that Su Tianli was pregnant, he immediately ran to find her, "...Xiao Su, the child you and Cheng Yu have must have the surname He! No matter what conflicts we as parents have with Cheng Yu, my eldest grandson still has to recognize his ancestral roots..."
That’s all He Jingdong can say.
because,
He was like a malnourished chick, being picked up by the furious Su Dejun. After swearing at him, he was thrown out the door!
He Jingdong had no choice but to leave in shame.
later--
At the beginning of September, Su Tianli reported to school and plunged into busy studies.
In early October, Cheng Yu rushed back to Guangzhou and saw Su Tianli's still slim figure and slightly protruding belly. He hugged Su Tianli and cried breathlessly. He said that he was grateful for her giving him a complete family and filling his life.
In early November, Northeast University of Technology had a busy farming season holiday, and Cheng Yu hurried back again... Su Tianli had entered the second trimester of her pregnancy, and her belly was noticeably bigger. Cheng Yu carefully took care of Su Tianli with his eyes red, whispering that he hoped Su Tianli would give birth to a son.
"…I am a man and my son is also a man, so it is more convenient for me to take care of my son."
Then he added, "If I have a daughter, that would be even better...but I might still need to learn how to raise a daughter as a father."
After a pause, Cheng Yu explained in a low voice, "What I mean is that maybe girls are more delicate and I'm afraid I can't take good care of them."
February 16, 1980, New Year’s Eve.
7:30 in the morning,
Su Tianli gave birth to a healthy baby boy with a very loud cry in the obstetrics ward of Guangdong Provincial Medical University.
Weighs six pounds and six ounces.
Su Tianli was so exhausted after giving birth that she fell asleep before she even left the delivery room.
When she woke up——
Next to the pillow was a small, wrinkled, red-skinned baby boy, who was now fast asleep;
She tilted her head slightly, trying to get a closer look at the child.
This action woke up Cheng Yu who was taking a light nap on her hospital bed.
He raised his head, opened his bloodshot eyes, and looked at Su Tianli with a smile.
Su Tianli also looked at Cheng Yu and smiled gently.
She held out her hand.
Cheng Yu quickly reached out his hand and held hers.
"Lychee, thank you, I love you."
