At this moment, Zhang Liang didn't know that his child was disliked, and was telling his mother the good news:

"It's a baby boy, 15.6 pounds."

"I was planning to go after the Chinese New Year, how come she gave birth suddenly? But the weight is pretty good, wait, I'll pack up and go."

After Zhang's mother hung up the phone, she looked at the small things she had prepared earlier and wondered how she could take them over.

When Zhang Liang came back, he saw Lu's mother holding the baby and coaxing him to sleep.

He stretched out his hand, then retracted it, fearing that he might be careless and hurt the child's arms and legs.

Mother Lu saw his fear:

"What? You don't dare to hug me?"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth:

"No, I'm just afraid of waking him up."

But his eyes never left the baby and his hands were clenched into fists.

Mother Lu cried out "Ouch":

"It's a bit difficult for this old man to hold the baby."

Zhang Liang clenched his fists tighter and wanted to take it.

Mother Lu stopped teasing him and taught him how to hold a baby:

"It's okay. It's always like this the first time. Huai Jin was also very nervous when she held her son."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the soft baby in his arms.

Lu Huaijin walked in with a dark face:

"I succeeded in carrying the baby in one try, don't blame me."

While they were chatting, Xu Niannian walked over and placed a few apples on the bedside of Lu Aicheng:

"I was a little constipated at the time, and then the constipation disappeared. If you are constipated, you can also try it. Simmer it on low heat for half an hour, and then eat it together with the pulp."

Lu Aicheng looked at the red apple and really wanted to eat it directly. Can a cooked apple be delicious?

It’s just a secret recipe given by my sister-in-law, it must be useful.

She decided that if she wasn’t constipated, she would eat it raw!

It seems like a lot of things happened as the year draws to a close. Before the New Year even begins, new news has arrived.

The family was eating, and Lu Huaijin said to Lu's mother:

"The policy is going to change recently. My dad can go back and continue to serve as a professor at Kyoto University. So can you."

Mother Lu's chopsticks fell to the ground with a "clack". Her hands were shaking.

"Is this true?"

"real."

Mother Lu glanced at the sky outside and felt that the sky was about to change:

"What about your Uncle Li, Uncle Wang and the others?"

"It will probably be soon."

Mother Lu felt that she had finally made it through. She hadn't seen her old man for two years. Although she often sent him things, she still missed him a lot.

Xu Niannian estimated that it was almost 1977, and it was about time for these people to go back, and life would gradually get better.

She has to study harder recently.

That night, Lu Huaijin stared at Xu Niannian who was still studying at the table and nodded her head:

"Want to go to college?"

Xu Niannian bit the pen in her hand and nodded. She didn't know before that Lu Huaijin's parents were both professors at Capital University.

This time, I felt more pressure.

I have been preparing for two years, so I shouldn't be admitted to a very bad school, but as a daughter-in-law, I can't embarrass myself.

Lu Huaijin's eyes flashed:

"Are you happy? That's foresight indeed. Since the professors have all gone back, the college entrance examination you were thinking of should be coming soon."

Now that we have teachers, we will definitely recruit students.

Xu Niannian grabbed his hand:

"I am just a blind cat that has caught a dead mouse. I have to study hard and not embarrass you."

Lu Huaijin shook his hand back:

"Are you embarrassing me? I'm afraid I'll fall behind and can't catch up with you. You've been working hard at home these days, worrying about me and taking care of the children."

Thinking of her going to college, she smiled again:

"No matter what major you choose, you might be able to find a job as a disciple of your parents-in-law."

Xu Niannian's eyes lit up:

"I wonder what your parents' professions are?"

"physics."

Xu Niannian's smile gradually disappeared:

"Physics, that's good. Like mathematics, it's a mystery to me, but I'm not interested in it."

The physics experts of this era made great contributions to the country's future prosperity.

At the same time, I felt it was a pity for Lu Huaijin. Both of his parents majored in physics, but he didn’t inherit it?

Lu Huaijin touched her head:

"So you want to study agriculture?"

She was not the first person to propose the idea of ​​vegetable greenhouses, but she does have a lot of practical experience.

He thought Xu Niannian would like farming.

“No, I want to study finance.”

Lu Huaijin was surprised to hear that Xu Niannian wanted to study finance, but when he thought that her favorite thing to do was to count money in bed, it didn’t seem that surprising?

"Do you really support me taking the college entrance examination?"

When the college entrance examination policy was announced in 1977, many families did not agree with their daughters-in-law taking the college entrance examination, thinking that if they went out, they would become wild.

I also think that it is useless for women to study, and it is better for them to stay at home and have children.

There have even been many cases of tying daughters-in-law up at home.

Their worries were correct. Many educated youth passed the exams, got divorced, and started new families.

So the policy was tightened the following year.

Lu Huaijin felt helpless when he heard this:

"Of course, you don't think that just because I didn't go to college, you don't need to go to college, right? That's not the same thing. I told you to do what you want to do and don't worry about it so much."

"Even if I don't want this job as the greenhouse vegetable manager in the military district?"

To be honest, her job pays well and she has flexible working hours, so many people are indeed jealous of her. However, she created the greenhouse herself, so even if someone is jealous, they cannot replace her.

"Are you going to quit?"

"I think you can wait until things become clearer."

Now the matter has not been announced yet, and Lu Huaijin is afraid that she will lose everything, and she will feel sad when she sees that the greenhouse no longer belongs to her.

He didn't know whether the college entrance examination would indeed be resumed, so he could only make the most prudent judgment based on his own thoughts.

Xu Niannian suddenly remembered that sentence: the right person will stand in your future and you don’t need to make so many sacrifices.

"Thank you."

Lu Huaijin has also negotiated with Lu's mother. If Xu Niannian wants to take the college entrance examination, she will need someone to take care of her. Lu's mother has not received any news yet.

But it's all a matter of time. During this period of time, I have to ask Lu's mother for advice on who to invite to look after the children at home.

At this moment, Father Lu was on his way to be recalled.

Fast forward to 1977.

This is a special year.

Xu Niannian is full of hope, and also hopes to be able to hand over the army's vegetable greenhouse work before leaving.
