When she has free time, she will take out the children's enlightenment books she found at the scrap yard and teach Yuanyuan to count numbers and learn some simple Chinese characters.
So Yuanyuan's study life began when she was three years old. She had to complete the homework assigned by her mother every day. At first, she only wrote numbers and some addition and subtraction within ten, but later she learned more and more words and gestures.
The child is also very smart. For many questions, he can solve them by himself after Tong Yiya explains them to him once or twice.
Fu Shinian still went to work every morning and came back in the evening. No matter how late he got off work, he would go home to rest.
At the beginning, he was reluctant to let his wife take care of two children alone at home, fearing that he would not come back and the three of them would not be safe at home.
Later, he watched his daughter grow up day by day. He couldn't sleep without seeing her every night, so the dormitory in the town is now just a decoration.
Deng Jianwen also has to go home every day. After all, he has elderly parents at home and they don't want him to worry. But since his parents chose him to take care of them in their old age when they divided the family business, he has to take good care of them.
A few years passed like this. During these years, Tong Yiya and her friends did not return to the city to celebrate the New Year, and the situation outside gradually relaxed.
In June 1976, the elderly people living in the shed were gradually rehabilitated and taken back with great fanfare.
Mr. Zhang was also taken back soon after. Before he left, he said to Tong Yiya, "Xiaoya, you and Shi Nian should read more books from now on. The country has taken us old guys back, so the college entrance examination may be resumed soon. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. You must seize this opportunity."
"I understand, Master. If you feel bored staying at home after you go back, just go to the Fu family. We have already called home. You can live with our great grandfather there, and it will be more lively," said Tong Yiya.
Several of the elderly people have no children, but the others at least still have other relatives alive. After they go back, they can choose people they approve of to take care of themselves and provide for themselves in their old age.
Zhang Zhao is the only one who has no relatives left. His former disciples had severed ties with him when he was demoted. Only the young disciple Tong Yiya is still there, but they cannot go back now. They can only entrust him to the Fu family to take care of him for a while.
Mr. Zhang didn't bother to be polite with her and said, "Okay, then let me clean up my old house first. I'll stay at the Fu family when I'm done. I'll make other plans after you two go back."
"Okay, then go back and take care of yourself," Tong Yiya said
"Okay, don't worry too much."
After a few more words, Mr. Zhang was taken away.
After Mr. Zhang passed away, his family could not live in two small courtyards, so the couple discussed and decided to return the small courtyard next door to the village.
That place was originally prepared for the village barefoot doctor to live in. Now that Mr. Zhang has returned to the city, there is no barefoot doctor in the village for a while. Tong Yiya now has two children to take care of and has no time to take over this job, so that position has been vacant for a while.
Tong Yiya sorted out all the medicinal herbs left by Old Zhang, put some inconspicuous ones into her own space, and packed the others in a large wooden box.
By the time the last person from the village who had been sent down to the countryside returned to the city, it was already the end of 1976. Tong Yiya and his wife had not forgotten what Mr. Zhang said before he left. At the end of the year, they received a letter from home saying that someone from above had mentioned the matter and it was still under discussion, but it was a possibility that this would happen. Their family also told them that if they had any ideas, they should prepare in advance.
Fortunately, they are far away from the village. There are no barefoot doctors here now, and few villagers are willing to come to them.
So Fu Shinian and Tong Yiya studied secretly at home, taking care of their two children.
Yuanyuan is now six years old and Xiaoyueliang is three years old, both of which are at the age when they love running.
Originally they were planning to send Yuanyuan to school this year, but after learning that the college entrance examination would be resumed, the two decided to teach the child at home by themselves during this period, and then send him to school after returning to the city.
Otherwise, if we send him to school now, we will have to arrange for him to transfer to another school after their family returns to the city.
While reviewing, the couple also taught Yuanyuan the first grade course, and then gave Xiaoyue the enlightenment.
The whole family was busy studying, and this also affected the people around them, such as Deng Jianwen, who was a colleague of Fu Shinian. He knew that they were reviewing and guessed that they might have received the news from above.
Fu Shinian didn't say it clearly, because the higher-ups hadn't yet determined the time. He just gave some of the extra textbooks they had to Deng Jianwen.
During their free time at work, they would hide in the car, each reading a book, and from time to time they would get together to discuss topics.
By July of the following year, Tong Yiya knew that the news would be announced in a few months, so she asked Fu Shinian: "My parents sent me a letter last time saying that the higher authorities have confirmed that the college entrance examination will be resumed. It has been more than a month, and the announcement is almost ready. I will definitely have to review in the future. You should find someone to take over your job."
"Okay, then I will keep an eye out to see who wants the job and then make a move. Even now, the news hasn't been released yet. If I transfer the job to someone else, it will be hard to say if someone asks about it," said Fu Shinian.
"What's there to be afraid of? If anyone asks, just say that we are going to use our connections to get back to the city," Tong Yiya said.
"Okay, then let's do as you say." Fu Shinian always did what his wife said and didn't care about anything else.
When Deng Jianwen saw that he started looking for someone to take over the job, he asked, "Brother Shinian, why did you transfer your job so suddenly? Did something happen at home?"
Fu Shinian thought that they had been partners for so many years and had made a lot of money in the black market. He was also a righteous man, so he pulled him to a secluded place and whispered to him, "Brother, we have been reading textbooks for a while, and I think we have guessed some of it. I won't lie to you. The information above was not confirmed before, so I can't say it clearly.
Now it has been decided that the college entrance examination will be resumed this year. Your sister-in-law and I both wanted to take the college entrance examination and return to the city through the examination. Therefore, we can no longer work here, so we transferred out.
If you have any ideas, you have to plan them early. A notice will definitely be issued within half a year.
I'm telling you because I believe you, so don't tell everyone you meet."
