Chapter 220 No Results
It was pitch black, and a beam of car lights illuminated the road ahead.
The big truck was still rumbling along until late at night. He Zheng finally stopped the car at a place next to the village. He huddled his tall body in the seat and grabbed a military coat to cover himself. It was cold in winter and he would freeze to death without covering himself. He hurried to get some sleep. His eyes could not bear driving for a long time and it would be dangerous if his vision became blurred.
He Zheng woke up as soon as the sun rose.
He got out of the car, squatted down by the river, splashed some cold water on his face, then picked up some firewood and made a fire by the river.
He took out an enamel pot and placed it on the fire, then poured water from a large kettle into it and put it on the fire. On the other side, he found a bamboo pole, sharpened one end of the pole with a military knife, stuck two steamed buns on it, and put it on the fire to roast.
After drinking half a tank of hot water and eating two steamed buns, He Zheng felt warm and no longer hungry. Without wasting a moment, he put out the fire, got back on the truck and headed towards the provincial capital.
Back in Ku Shui Village, an urgent telegram arrived early in the morning.
Wang Xiu was sweeping the yard wrapped in a thick cotton coat. She was not very literate and could not understand what the telegram meant, so she asked the postman as usual.
"Comrade, please help me see what it says."
The postman was used to this, so he unfolded the telegram and took a look. "It's from the provincial capital. It says Erhe is pregnant. Is she your daughter-in-law?"
Before he could finish his words, Wang Xiu snatched the telegram away. Wang Xiu, who was wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket, ran into the house.
"Old He, Old He, hurry up and get me a letter of introduction. Erhe is pregnant. He Zheng is still in the capital. She is alone in the provincial capital with no one to take care of her. I have to go and take care of her. How did she get pregnant suddenly? If I had known earlier, I would have accompanied her to the provincial capital. Old He, Old He, hurry up, why are you dawdling?"
Village chief He was wronged. People have three urgent needs: he just needed to go to the toilet. He couldn't just run away with his pants up in the middle of defecating. This would damage his image and dignity as a village chief.
Wang Xiu looked around the room but found no one, so she guessed that the person was in the toilet at the back.
"Look at you. Whenever I need you for something, you just squat in the toilet and poop. I don't know where all that shit comes from... I'll pack my things first, so hurry up."
Village Chief He: “…”
Besides, the He family was in a state of chaos early in the morning, and Village Chief He quickly came back with a certificate.
Wang Xiu carried two large bags of things, including eggs, pork, vegetables, sweet potatoes, clothes, socks, cloth and so on.
"Are you going... to escape?" Village Chief He's forehead was throbbing with veins.
Wang Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to him. "Hurry up and take me to the county town and buy me a ticket. I'll go to the provincial capital right away."
Village Chief He disagreed. It wasn't that he didn't care about his daughter-in-law, but he was worried about his own wife. "You don't know many words, how are you going to the provincial capital by yourself? Will you know the directions when you get there?"
"Why don't you recognize me? I went to the provincial capital last time and I remember the route. Okay, stop rambling and hurry up. If you miss the deadline, you won't be able to buy a ticket."
Wang Xiu was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else and insisted on rushing to the county town immediately. Village chief He had no choice but to drive a tractor to take her to the bus station in the county town, bought a ticket, and watched Wang Xiu get on the bus with his heart pounding.
"If you ask me, you should wait. If you go alone, you might get lost..."
"I won't get lost even if you get lost."
Wang Xiu was too lazy to talk to him. What did he know? Her daughter-in-law was now alone in the provincial capital and must have someone to take care of her.
She has to go.
Watching the shuttle bus leave, Village Chief He became more and more worried. After thinking it over, he ran to Aunt Nie's place. Aunt Nie had just learned that Erhe was pregnant and was very happy. But when she heard that Wang Xiu went to the provincial capital alone to take care of Erhe, she was also worried, so she quickly copied the number left by Commander Nie to Village Chief He.
Village chief He ran to the telephone office to make a call.
…
With the military hospital in the provincial capital as the center, the two groups headed straight for the hospital, and it was just a matter of who would arrive first.
And here at the hospital.
Erhe slept all night and lay down all morning, her bones were almost stiff, and she had to get up and stand.
After listening to her elder sister's explanation, she observed carefully and found that she had no stomach pain and no bleeding. As for the reason for fainting yesterday, it might be low blood sugar or being too tired. Of course, she did not run outside, but just stood by the window for a while to breathe fresh air.
The door of the ward opened and a man in a white coat came in.
Erhe looked back and felt relieved when she saw the man in a white coat. Suddenly, she paused and looked back again.
Chen Yuqin was wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around her neck. She was also a gynecologist here, but she was not Erhe's attending physician.
So it's really strange why she showed up.
"I heard you were pregnant,"
Erhe walked back to the ward and leaned against it. "Yes, I'm pregnant. Are you going to say now that you're worried that I'll give birth to a girl and the He family will dislike me because of it? We've already talked about this topic. You don't have to worry about it. The He family won't do that."
"You..." Chen Yuqin frowned, "You don't act like my child at all. You're like a thorn in the flesh. I'm saying all this for your own good."
"No, I don't need it."
Erhe turned her face away immediately. She was really tired of hearing about the importance of boys and Chen Yuqin's so-called concern. She didn't need them at all, so she just left them to Su Chuan.
She is old enough to decide how to live her life in the future.
Chen Yuqin sighed, as if to say that sooner or later you will regret it, and then she would leave.
At this time, Liang Wenwen came over and said, "Erhe, I heard that you are in the hospital... Doctor Chen is also here."
"Yes, Miss Liang, you are here," Chen Yuqin was very polite to Liang Wenwen.
Liang Wenwen nodded, "Yes, I came to see Erhe, and I have something very important to tell her."
Before Erhe could say anything, Chen Yuqin stopped Liang Wenwen and asked, "Have the college entrance examination results come out? I heard that your family is well-informed these past two days. Do you know the results?"
This is exactly what Liang Wenwen wanted to say. "No, the latest news is that the results of the college entrance examination will not be released this time. If we are admitted, the admission letter will be sent directly to the address we filled in."
"This..." Chen Yuqin was stunned. "When will I receive the notice?"
Liang Wenwen shook her head and said she didn't know.
When Erhe heard what Liang Wenwen said, she remembered something. It seemed that this was the case. When the college entrance examination was resumed, the examination papers were not unified nationwide, and the papers were graded in different regions. In the end, no specific scores were released. This group of people who were admitted to university did not know their college entrance examination results until the end.
After just one or two months, those who are admitted will receive admission letters one after another.
