It's the summer solstice in a flash, and heat waves are rolling everywhere.
Gu Xuan and Xiao Huzi have also entered the final review stage. Every day, a large number of test questions are handed out, and they are immersed in the tactics of solving a large number of test questions and cannot extricate themselves.
Li Ying loved her daughter and eldest grandson very much, and she would find different ways to make delicious food for them every day.
However, the weather was hot, and the appetite of both of them was not very good, especially Gu Xuan. He didn't eat much for half a month, and with the great mental and academic pressure, he lost a lot of weight in a short time!
Li Ying was secretly worried and asked her eldest son what to do.
Gu Qi is a top student who can get high scores simply by self-study. He has no idea about the pressure of studying. He just says that he only needs to prepare some appetizers for them and nothing else is necessary.
Li Ying didn't know what to cook to appetize her, so she had to ask Chen Xingling for help.
Chen Xingling told her not to eat too much meat and to eat light meals. Considering the hot weather, she also quietly took out a few large watermelons from the supermarket to give to her family to cool down.
Not only that, she prepared a light lunch for the two of them, with lots of vegetables and fruits, plus some sweet and sour spare ribs and sweet and sour fish.
Xiaohuzi has always been in good health. He has little stress, so he sleeps well and eats well.
Gu Xuan's appetite improved a little, but she couldn't resist her temper because she was too nervous. She always couldn't sleep well at night, and her mental state was also not good.
Fortunately, Ma Dali asked his aunt who was a doctor for help, and she prescribed a Chinese medicine to nourish the spirit and help sleep.
After drinking a bowl of it in the evening, Gu Xuan began to feel sleepy afterwards and fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
Although she had enough sleep and was in good spirits, Gu Xuan was still in a dilemma because she didn't have much time to review at night and was afraid that sleeping too much would delay her studies.
She delayed taking the medicine and took it after 10 o'clock every night before going to bed.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but remind him, "It's already this late, don't push yourself too hard. The college entrance exam is in ten days, and it's too late to cram now. You should stay alert and have a good attitude so that you can get good grades."
"Sister-in-law." Gu Xuan lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "Although I have made a lot of progress with the help of Xiaohuzi and you guys... it's still not good enough. The teacher said that unless Chongqing University lowers the score for teacher training majors, I only have a 50% chance of passing."
Chen Xingling quickly explained: "The normal school majors have been re-enrolled this year, and the score has been reduced by more than ten or twenty points!"
"So the teacher said that the hope is much higher." Gu Xuan answered; "I also applied for the library management major at Chongqing University. The teacher said that this major is new and the score should not be high."
Chen Xingling thought about it and smiled: "This major may be suitable for you. It's okay, let's take the exam first and see who gets admitted later."
Gu Xuan sighed: "None of them are as good as the major I like... If Chongqing University doesn't give me a chance to make up for the admission, I will probably have to repeat the year again."
"Have more confidence in yourself." Chen Xingling chuckled. "Last year you took the exam alone in your hometown in Shangjing City. This year is completely different! You have Xiaohuzi to accompany you to take the exam, and we have a few people to help you. By the way, Dali also lent you all his notes, right? His notes are comprehensive and practical. You will definitely benefit a lot from reading them."
Gu Xuan's face turned slightly red and he nodded slightly.
"Yes... it's great. It helps me a lot."
Chen Xingling encouraged with a smile: "So, you should have more confidence in yourself. This time, you are not taking the exam alone, but we have our support behind you."
"Hmm." Gu Xuan absentmindedly held the notebook and whispered, "Brother Ma...his handwriting is very beautiful."
Chen Xingling picked vegetables by himself and praised: "It looks good! Many people praised his good handwriting!"
At this time, Li Ying ran in happily holding an envelope.
"Hu Zi's mother! Ah Xuan! Ah Miao has sent a letter! Ah Miao has finally sent a letter!"
Since before the Chinese New Year, Chen Erliuzi remitted fifty yuan to his mother-in-law for the New Year, there have been no letters or telegrams between the two since then.
Li Ying has always loved her youngest daughter the most. Although she never says it, she can't help missing her secretly in her heart.
After waiting and waiting for almost half a year, I finally received a letter from my youngest daughter.
Li Ying rushed to them excitedly, then tore open the envelope with trembling hands and hurriedly handed it to Gu Xuan.
"Quick! Quick! Take a look! See what Ah Miao said!"
Gu Xuan put down the notebook and took it to look at it carefully.
Li Ying's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up: "...That damn girl! She only wrote to me once in half a year! I raised her in vain, she doesn't even care about me and my family!"
"Most likely the letters were lost in the mail." Chen Xingling explained, "It's quite troublesome to send letters from abroad. The journey is long and the routes are complicated, so there is a possibility of loss from time to time. Besides, Ah Miao doesn't like to write, so it's impossible for her to write home often."
"Right!" Li Ying couldn't help cursing, "That lazy bastard really doesn't like to write! But he didn't even send a few words to his parents' home - he didn't even think about how worried his family would be! He's really heartless!"
Seeing that Gu Xuan was busy reading the letter and didn't read it, Chen Xingling looked a little strange. He intuitively felt that there was probably nothing good in the letter.
As expected, Gu Xuan hesitantly explained that Gu Miao was pregnant, but she felt very uncomfortable and disliked the hard life over there, so she planned to return to Yucheng.
"What?!" Li Ying felt dizzy after hearing this. She didn't know whether to be happy or angry. She was at a loss for a moment.
"When did you get pregnant? How many months have you been pregnant? It's inevitable that you'll feel uncomfortable in the first few months! Her second sister-in-law has been pregnant for several months, and she occasionally vomits in the morning! Now that she's a mother, she finally understands how hard it is to be a mother! The best thing about having a daughter is that when she gets married and has children, she will understand how hard it is for an old mother! Raising a child with a lot of hardship, how can it not be hard? When she was a child, she made a lot of trouble for me! Is it okay now? Is it retribution?"
Chen Xingling glanced at her and reminded her helplessly: "Don't say too much. Let Xuan answer first."
Gu Xuan replied: "It's almost four months, and the belly is getting bigger day by day."
Chen Xingling estimated, "It took about a month for the letter to arrive, so it should be about five months now."
"Wow!" Li Ying clapped her hands happily. "It's a little bit bigger than Ayi's! Haha! She's already pregnant - good news! Wait - what is she doing back? What's the meaning? Did Erliuzi come back with her? Send her back to recuperate after giving birth to her child?"
Gu Xuan shook his head: "She said... she didn't want a child, but Er Liuzi refused. She also said... she didn't want to follow him anymore, and planned to go back to Yucheng by herself. She asked us to send her money to cross the border, and she wanted to come back by boat by herself."
Li Ying's face turned pale when he heard this, and he started cursing.
"Is that girl crazy? Either crazy or stupid! Who told her to go out with Chen Erliuzi in the first place?! Wasn't it she who ran off with him! Now she's pregnant, the rice has been cooked, but she says she doesn't want it anymore?! Who does she think she is?! Is this just playing house? She thinks getting married is just playing house, don't others think so too? Stupid bastard! If you want to run away with him, just run away with him. If you don't want to, just run back to your parents' home - you can't even afford a boat ticket, what's the point of coming back! This damn girl! She just wants to piss me off! I might as well piss me off to death!"
Chen Xingling was afraid of missing some information, so he simply took it and read it himself.
Gu Miao didn't say much about the topic. She was full of disgust and annoyance, and talked a lot without any theme at all.
But from what I can see, the main point is that she doesn't like the sex life there, especially after she got pregnant, the reaction was too strong, she disliked it even more.
She wanted to go back to Yucheng, but Chen Erliuzi disagreed, saying that it was very dangerous for her to take a bumpy boat ride while pregnant, and what if something unexpected happened on the way.
Chen Erliuzi objected and refused to buy her a boat ticket, so she had to write back to explain that she wanted to go back to Yucheng and asked her family to send her money to buy a ticket.
