It is now the late 1980s, and reform and opening up has been going on for six or seven years, but there are still few fat people in the city.
It's true that she was a university student supported by the government, and her life was far better than the average person's. Coincidentally, the year before she started university, in 1981, the TOEFL exam was introduced in China. That same year, the national TV station began broadcasting the BBC. With the relaxation of policies and the establishment of diplomatic relations with many countries, enthusiasm for learning foreign languages was growing.
The trend of going abroad came quietly.
During her sophomore year, rumors circulated that the system for assigning university graduates jobs would be reformed. Even though some said it wasn't a blanket reform but a gradual one, she was still uneasy.
Out of fear and influenced by the trend of going abroad, I thought about saving enough money to go abroad before graduation and then applying to a university in Country M.
Where does the money come from?
For a female college student, the only option is to save money from government subsidies or to work as a tutor.
In this era, those who can afford tutors are all capable, either from dual-income families or those who are engaged in business, but it is still women who are in charge of children's studies.
I've seen and heard so many things about men divorcing their wives and finding young and beautiful wives just because they have some money or a slightly improved status. Who doesn't have a conscience?
The original body was good-looking, but this alone blocked her path to becoming a tutor.
So if you want to save money, you can only deduct it from the subsidies the state gives to college students, or if you happen to be lucky, do some work for teachers to earn some extra money.
What's the point of living frugally for two or three years?
So for a moment she really couldn't resist the pulling of the two children and had to let them drag her back.
But she was really curious, "Why?"
Why aren't they allowed to go? Isn't this the wife of their father's friend?
Dadan: "No reason, just don't go!"
Erdan: "She's not a serious person!"
Su Qinghu was silent for a while, then he turned serious and asked carefully, "...did she ever touch you?"
Just thinking about it, Su Qinghu was about to roll up his sleeves! If that were the case, no matter who she was or whose friend she was, he would just get her!
Dadan and Erdan were stunned by her question, a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and shook their heads blankly, "No."
Why is the new mom asking this?
Su Qinghu: "Has she ever touched anyone else?"
The two children shook their heads again. They had never seen it either.
Su Qinghu quickly pulled back the wild horse in his mind, expressionless: "What's going on? Explain it to me clearly!"
"That auntie keeps calling our son-in-law!" Dadan is annoyed. "I tell her to stop calling me that, but she never listens!"
Su Qinghu: ...
Su Qinghu didn't know how to describe his depressed mood at this moment.
There is sympathy, there is speechlessness, there is the urge to burst out laughing...
But the two children pursed their lips and glared at her, their expressions saying, "If you dare to laugh, we will not recognize you, ignore you, let you live alone, and never protect you again."
Thinking of the two of them running around in the hospital, Su Qinghu successfully controlled himself.
"Let's go. This time, I can not only buy meat, but also make her never say that to you again when she sees you." Su Qinghu promised solemnly.
Dadan and Erdan looked at her with their lips curled, saying that she was bragging to the sky!
Not only can I eat meat, but I can also make that person shut up. Is there such a good thing in the world?
Su Qinghu: "If I can do it, will you take care of washing the dishes and cleaning today?"
Erdan nodded directly, "If you can do it, not to mention today, even tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."
Just when he was feeling proud and confident, he felt his brother tugging at his belt. Erdan quickly stopped and said, "My brother and I have washed the dishes too."
There was no cleaning and no day after tomorrow, and the battlefield was successfully narrowed. Erdan grinned.
After Su Qinghu nodded and walked forward, he winked at Dadan to show off his wit and agility.
Dadan didn't say anything, but just mouthed the words to him, silently reminding him to just speak and not make random noises.
How could Su Qinghu not know their little tricks? She just didn't bother to pay attention.
It is June now, and the weather is already hot. There is no wind and the sun is high in the sky. People sweat even without moving, let alone walking?
After gastric lavage, she was observed for six hours and was hospitalized for almost a day. During this period, she did not eat anything except for the IV drip.
As for why they had to walk home, wasn't it because the bus was too crowded? She felt dizzy just looking at the long lines at the bus stop, let alone being so close together in the car? So she just walked slowly.
She was thinking about hailing a taxi if she came across one on the way home, but as soon as the taxi driver saw that she had two half-grown children with her, he didn't even stop.
There was no room for argument at this point. Taxis were a new industry, not yet fully regulated. Even if you complained profusely and they refused to take you, it wouldn't matter; at most, you'd be morally reprimanded.
"Popsicles! Popsicles! Popsicles for sale!"
A bicycle carrying a foam box came towards them. A man with a dark face and a towel draped around his neck greeted them with a smile, "Three popsicles for only ten cents, would you like some? They're cheaper than others!"
Dadan and Erdan's mouths were full of saliva. Even Su Qinghu's eyes lit up and he took out the money and handed it over. "Three! Thank you!"
The man was quick and swift, quickly taking out three popsicles and giving one to each person.
Seeing that there were few people on the road, the man got on his bicycle and slowly rode towards the crowded area. At this moment, Dadan spoke up, "You just had your stomach washed, you can't eat ice."
Su Qinghu happily put the popsicle to her mouth, but before she could take a bite, Dadan grabbed her wrist.
she:"?!!"
"Mom, please listen to the doctor. Don't eat anything the doctor tells you not to eat. If you really want to eat it, I'll buy it for you next time." Erdan also advised sincerely.
Su Qinghu: I believed your lies! Why didn't you tell me when you bought it? Now you're thinking about her?
"What should I do? I've already bought it, it wouldn't be a waste, right?" Su Qinghu pretended to be in embarrassment and gently moved his hand away.
Erdan: "Mom, I can eat it for you. Next time I'll buy you two."
Su Qinghu: ...What a good son.
But I handed it over anyway.
This popsicle feels cool in your hand, and the sweet smell that enters your nose is soothing. It is refreshing after all. Whether you eat it or not, your life is more important!
Erdan was satisfied. He ate his own cigarette and then started eating Su Qinghu's.
Seeing that he had eaten two-thirds of the food and showed no sign of stopping, Su Qinghu narrowed his eyes. What a selfish little bastard!
After he finished eating, Su Qinghu pretended to be enlightened and took out five cents and gave it to Dadan, "Here you go."
Dadan didn't ask why, he just took it and said politely: "Thank you, Mom."
