That night, Gu Qi helped his son do some math problems and made a few small models out of newspapers to play with.
"Yinmo, it's half past nine, time to go to bed."
Little Tiger was reluctant to leave, but he didn't dare to disobey his father. After drinking half a glass of water, he ran out to pee, and then climbed onto his bed to sleep.
Gu Qi was reading a book and ignored him.
The little guy tossed and turned in his bed for a while, then slowly stopped, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After a while, Chen Xingling came back.
Gu Qi stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
"How is it? Is everything okay over there?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "It's okay. Although the wind is a bit strong, it won't affect the newly built wall. The trees are old, so there's no need to worry about them being blown down. The only bad thing is that Ma Dali's mosquito net can't be hung because the wind is too strong."
Ma Dali worked as a carpenter with Master Mo in the field all day long and was responsible for night watch at night. He received double the salary for the morning and night shifts and worked very hard.
Master Mo liked him very much and always praised him for being diligent and smart.
Chen Xingling also felt that she was very lucky to have such a good person, who worked more diligently than her, the owner, and treated the job as her own.
Gu Qi couldn't help but ask with concern: "What should we do then?"
"He said the wind was strong so he wasn't afraid of mosquitoes." Chen Xingling explained, "He just took the mat and went to sleep on top of the kitchen."
Gu Qi laughed dumbly and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xingling said: "I have agreed with him to take Xuan and me to the hospital to see his aunt tomorrow morning. I will ride my bike to pick Xuan up, and he will walk to the hospital entrance in advance to wait. We agreed to meet at the hospital entrance at 8 o'clock."
"Ah Xuan...is she willing to see a doctor?" Gu Qi asked.
Chen Xingling smiled helplessly: "It's not that she doesn't want to, she just doesn't know what to do. She doesn't know how to communicate with your mother, and it's hard to bring it up, and she doesn't dare to ask other people. Her menstruation is irregular, and she has been staying up late for a long time, which makes her feel weak. I told her to take care of her body and get ready to study. If she fails this time, she will strive for the next time. She nodded and agreed."
Gu Qi sighed softly, feeling quite disappointed with his old mother.
Chen Xingling didn't say anything and went to the bathroom with his spare clothes.
The next morning, she drove Gu Xuan out.
Around noon, Gu Xuan packed a few packets of Chinese medicine and went upstairs alone.
After boiling two packets of medicine, Gu Xuan quietly told Chen Xingling that she had started to fall asleep at night and no longer tossed and turned in sleepless nights.
A few days later, Chen Xingling took her to the hospital again and took a few packets of Chinese medicine home to boil.
…
"Ling Ling!" Ma Dali shouted: "Ling Ling Xue!"
Chen Xingling was boiling water under the shade of a tree. He looked up in confusion at Ma Dali who was running towards him.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?"
Ma Dali's eyes lit up and he laughed excitedly: "The results are out! They're out in advance! Today! All the students are rushing to school to check their results!"
Chen Xingling was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly.
"Ahead of schedule? Then-then let's go quickly!"
Ma Dali laughed out loud: "No need! I've checked for you! You're first! I'm sixth! By the way, Jia Shuangqi also did very well in the academic exam, ranking tenth in the liberal arts!"
Chen Xingling had a hunch that he had done well in the exam, but he never thought it would be so good!
"Can I go to Yucheng University? Can I?"
Ma Dali nodded quickly: "Of course! Teacher Lin said that only two students in our class failed the exam, and the others can go to college. The teacher also said that they are waiting for some supplementary admission information, and the two students who failed the exam may also be able to go to college. I heard that someone in the next county was admitted after taking the physics exam for more than ten years."
Chen Xingling was a little bit incredulous and asked, "More than ten feet? Really?"
Ma Dali explained: "It was Teacher Lin who said that. It must be true. She said that she and Principal Li went to the Education Bureau several times a day and were very busy these two days. Fortunately, everyone did well in the exam. Finally, it was worth it for her and Principal Li to run around for us in the hot weather."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xi can also go to Yucheng University, right? Teacher training major?"
"Yes." Ma Dali nodded: "I heard from Teacher Lin that as long as you apply for the teacher training major, you can get in. Shuangxi's academic performance is not bad, so it must be! I am also a teacher training major."
"Great!" Chen Xingling threw the palm-leaf fan in his hand to him and ran out in a hurry.
Ma Dali shouted: "Hey! Where are you going? The teacher said we should wait for the admission letter and not rush!"
"Looking for my lover!" Chen Xingling ran away without looking back: "Tell him the good news!"
Ma Dali laughed out loud.
That evening, Gu Qi drove Chen Xingling and Xiao Huzi to Huiqiao Fishing Village to share the good news with her family.
The brothers and sisters-in-law were all very happy and kept congratulating Chen Xingling.
"Quick! Kill a few chickens right away! We'll have a feast tonight to celebrate for my little sister!"
"Great! We have to celebrate this! We finally have a college student in our family! And it's the first one!"
Chen Sanshui and Liu Peiyun were so happy that their eyes were filled with tears. They specially packed a big red envelope for their daughter as a reward.
"Lingling is the first college student in our family! Well done!"
"You've set a great example for the younger generation! You deserve a great reward!"
"Hahaha……"
That night, Gu Qi, who was drunk, didn't dare to drive, so the family of three stayed at her mother's house overnight.
Gu Qi couldn't sleep, so he quietly took Chen Xingling for a walk on the beach.
The moonlight is bright, the night is charming, the beach is like silver cloth, and the waves wash the beach again and again.
The cool sea breeze blew, the waves roared, and the two chatted in low voices, looking forward to a bright future.
On the rock, the two snuggled together, enjoying the warmth of the moment and the romance that belonged only to each other.
Looking at the waves that were getting higher and higher, Chen Xingling couldn't help but think of the past.
"Archie, many people say that you had to marry me in order to repay me for saving your life. But I am extremely confident... you have feelings for me."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded gently.
"Of course. Saving my life is a great favor, so I can find other ways to repay you. There is no need to risk my lifelong happiness."
Chen Xingling leaned on his shoulder and asked, "Then let me ask you - when did you start to like me?"
Gu Qi chuckled and kissed her soft hair gently.
"At first I was touched. I started to have a subtle feeling for you. I can't explain it. It's just weird. I don't know what's going on. Anyway, I always like to stare at you."
"How come I don't know?" Chen Xingling asked suspiciously, "When did it happen?"
Gu Qi smiled but said nothing.
Chen Xingling attacked his waist, and his naughty hands pinched his ticklish spot accurately.
Gu Qi surrendered immediately and told the truth: "Some time before the wedding, a group of fishing boats helped transport sand and soil to build the dock. You and your brothers would come here twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I watched you from above and wanted to come down to say hello to you, but I didn't know how to start. Later, I heard someone joking about you saving me, so I turned around and went to find Lao Guo, and then came to the fishing village to propose marriage."
"No wonder!" Chen Xingling laughed softly, "I thought you were drawing in the office all day, how did you know? Turns out you eavesdropped."
Gu Qi gently stroked her slightly cold arm and held her on his lap.
"It's so cool at the beach at night..."
Chen Xingling was still immersed in the past, and whispered: "There were many women who liked you at that time, but I was the most 'brave' one, so you started to pay attention to me. It shows that without courageous efforts, there will be no gains."
Almost every young girl in the factory liked him, some of them were even three or four years older than him.
However, most of them just liked him secretly, and at most they would show their affection and write love letters. Only she risked her life for his, and finally saved him, and from then on she captured his heart.
Gu Qi chuckled: "Most efforts yield little in return. Without effort, there is no gain. We are considered quite lucky."
"That's right!" Chen Xingling raised his neck and kissed his handsome cheek: "It's worth it!"
Gu Qi smiled dotingly and whispered in her ear, "Worth a lifetime."
"whee……"
