Chapter 121 fate
Before the Lantern Festival, Zong Shao went to the photo studio to retrieve the photos, bought a photo album by the way, and came back with a few photo frames.
They took a total of three photos, but nine were washed out, but only one was large, which was sealed with a photo frame and hung on the wall of the living room.
For the small family portrait, and the photo of Mingming Ruirui and Lin Wei holding Bei Bei, Lin Wei picked one out and put it in a small frame. The group photo of Mingming Ruirui was placed in their room, and the other two were placed in the master bedroom.
The rest of the photos and those photos taken before were put into the photo frame by Lin Wei. The album Zong Shao bought was very thick, and she planned to fill the album slowly.
…
In the new semester, Lin Wei is busier than last year, not because her work has increased, and it is not because Bei Bei has become more difficult to carry.
Although with the increase of months, Bei Bei’s sleep time has gradually reduced from the original twenty hours to more than ten hours, and the waking time is getting longer and longer, and it is indeed more difficult than before.
But it is clear that Ruirui has become more and more sensible, and has been able to help Lin Wei to share a lot of things – now they will make milk powder for her sister to drink.
Lin Wei has become busier, mainly because she has to spare time to study high school knowledge in addition to work and taking care of her children. She plans to take the college entrance examination in the coming year.
Originally, Lin Wei planned to start reviewing after her life and death, but because of the unexpected arrival of Zong Beibei, there were too many things in the second half of last year, and she didn’t care too much about it.
It was not until the end of the New Year, when she thought that there were less than two years before the resumption of the college entrance examination, she began to get nervous.
Although she got a high school diploma, she actually only took classes for more than a month, and she had been away from school for a long time, so she hadn’t read much in the past few years. If she only started to review after the notice of resumption of the college entrance examination, she was really not sure what grades she would get in the test.
If she hadn’t had a dream and didn’t know her future development trajectory, no matter how difficult it was, she would have to bite the bullet, or even give up the college entrance examination altogether.
But since God gave her the golden finger and gave her two more years to prepare than others, she couldn’t justify not cherishing this opportunity.
After making up her mind to take the college entrance examination, Lin Wei told Zong Shao about her plans. Although this is her personal freedom, they are a family. If she does pass the entrance examination, she must consider how to arrange it at home.
And Zong Shao’s attitude will also affect whether she will go out or apply for the local secondary school.
Knowing that this world is a novel, and that Lin Wei had dreamed about all the plots, Zong Shao asked Lin Wei how he and his children were doing in the future.
Lin Wei didn’t want to mention the male and female protagonists, so the answer was relatively simple, only that after her death in the novel, he changed his career and returned to Shicheng, entered a state-owned factory, and jumped out to do business in the sea after the reform and opening up.
In general, he will have a good future in the future, but he will get lung cancer from smoking too much and die earlier. The two children are also very promising. Rarity goes to the juvenile class, and Mingming’s son is a businessman following his father’s business, and his personality is becoming more and more like him.
Zong Shao was silent for a while after hearing this, wondering if Lin Wei used lung cancer to scare him in order to get him to quit smoking.
But he did pay a lot of attention in this regard. In the past, he just quit smoking by himself. Should other people in the camp smoke in front of him or not, then when others smoked in front of him, he would always offer to pay out of his own pocket and ask them to go to the hospital for lung surgery. As for the inspection, after a few months, those people in the camp are now avoiding him smoking.
It was clear that he was more and more like him. After observing for half a month, he didn’t think this kid was any more like him. But he didn’t completely believe it. After all, if it really developed as in the novel, it would be possible for him to become more and more silent.
He didn’t have much doubt about Rarity’s junior class, the kid was smart.
In the novel, Zong Shao has no doubts about his return to his hometown after returning to his hometown, and then he went to sea to do business.
He was born in a military family, and it is a fact that he was surrounded by soldiers since he was a child.
Because of this kind of edification, he later became a soldier himself. Today, he loves his career, and if he can, he hopes to stay in the army forever.
In the novel, he changed careers because Lin Wei died, but now she is living well. If there are no major changes in the future, he should not change careers, so there is a high probability that he will not become very rich in the future.
Before making the decision, Zong Shao talked to Lin Wei about this matter, and Lin Wei had already prepared and said that it was okay, anyway, without him, there would still be a heavy burden on the family in the future.
Although he didn’t plan to go to sea to do business, Zong Shao didn’t ignore the major event of reform and opening up. He continued to ask questions about reform and opening up, and he knew that a lot of things would happen in the past few years.
For example, the land reform carried out in 1978, for example, the great movement that will end this year, and for example, the great man will die in September this year.
The first two are good news, but after learning the last thing, Zong Shao was depressed for a while, he wanted to do something, but in the end found that he couldn’t do anything.
In the family, he is the support of Lin Wei and the father whom the children admire, but for the whole country, he is too small, he can only watch the wheels of history roll forward.
Although Zong Shao learned a lot of things in the future from Lin Wei, Lin Wei did not mention the resumption of the college entrance examination, so when he learned that Lin Wei planned to take the college entrance examination next year, Zong Shao was stunned and asked: “The college entrance examination will resume next year? ”
“Old shígG Dujia, the time should be around October next year, the exam at the end of the year, and the university at the beginning of the seventh or eighth year.” Because there was no specific time in the novel, Lin Wei said it vaguely.
“Can you sign up?”
“It is stipulated that all previous junior high school graduates under the age of 30 can apply.”
The novel also mentions some special circumstances, such as problems with ingredients, and those who have not taken off their hats at home may not be able to report. Even if they take off their hats, they need the approval of the leaders. But Lin Wei felt that her composition was fine, and she would not be approved for approval, and even if this happened, she would just figure out a solution at that time. It was too early to worry about those things.
“Then go.” Zong Shao nodded and asked again, “Which university are you planning to go to? What major are you studying?”
“I haven’t figured out the specifics. I’ve been away from school for too long, and I don’t know what I can learn. What I think is that if the review is good, I will report it to Yangcheng, and if it is not good, I will report to the college in the city. If you’re going to the state, be closer to home…”
Before Lin Wei finished speaking, she heard Zong Shao say, “Let’s report to Yangcheng.”
“What?” Lin Wei thought she had heard it wrong.
“Since you want to take the exam, then try to get a good university. If you report to Yangcheng, I will try to find a way to tune in to Yangcheng in the past two years.”
The two talked about it at night. Lin Wei was leaning against the head of the bed, but when she heard Zong Shao say this, she immediately sat up straight and asked, “Are you serious?”
Zong Shao analyzed: “Well, the prefecture is not close to us. Even if you apply for the secondary school in the prefecture for us, it is estimated that you will have time to return during the winter and summer vacations and holidays. It is better to report to the school in Yangcheng, anyway. In a city, you might be able to go home on weekends.”
In this regard, Lin Wei really hadn’t thought about it, but after being told by Zong Shao, she thought it was feasible. The question is: “Can you transfer over?”
“It’s a matter of time, I’m starting to prepare now, and next year should be about the same.”
If Lin Wei said he wanted to go to the capital to go to university, Zong Shao would definitely be difficult to transfer, mainly because the fleets they belonged to were different, but both the Yangcheng base and the Sanlin base belong to the South China Sea Fleet. Although the transfer of officers between them is not frequent, there is always one every year. Two, it’s not impossible for Zong Shao to get emotional in the past.
With Zong Shao’s words, Lin Wei made up her mind to stop thinking about the local technical secondary school and concentrate on taking the exam in Yangcheng.
In order to support his daughter-in-law, Zong Shao found someone to get two sets of high school textbooks, including the high school content before and after the suspension of classes, both ways to avoid omissions.
When she received the box of books, Lin Wei’s mood couldn’t be more complicated.
Although Zong Shao supported her to go to university, she was very happy and relieved, but…it was a little too much support.
No matter how complicated his mood was, Lin Wei still opened the textbook and started to study, so he couldn’t waste his hard work.
…
Just when Lin Wei was busy studying and taking care of the children, something happened to the Zhou family, and Chen Bamei’s parents came over.
But those days were mid-term exams, and Lin Wei was very busy. Every day, the school’s state-run hotel and her home were in line at three o’clock, so when she found out about this, the matter was settled.
“Bamei’s parents just went back like this?” Lin Wei couldn’t believe it. Although Lingnan was not far from Yazhou Island, it was not easy to come here. How could she be dismissed so easily?
Deng Xiangyun sighed and said, “I took the money and left.”
“Why did you return the money?” Lin Wei asked, “Eighth sister is already an adult, even if they want to take her back, as long as she doesn’t want to, they shouldn’t be able to do it, right?”
“That’s what I said, but because the eighth sister is on the island, it’s not easy for us to drive them away. The eighth sister is not a military member, so it is not easy for the troops to intervene in this matter.” Deng Xiangyun said helplessly.
Lin Wei thought about it too, sighed and asked, “How much did you give?”
“One hundred, from the salary of the eighth sister. If they agreed to take the money, they will treat the eighth sister as already married and will not bother you in the future.”
When Chen Bamei left behind a small stone, Deng Xiangyun said that she would be paid monthly based on the average salary of the nanny.
Although Chen Bamei was resolutely unwilling to ask for it at the time, Deng Xiangyun said to keep it for her and give it to her when she leaves or gets married. Later, Chen Bamei followed Lin Wei to learn to read, and it cost a lot to buy books, pens and notebooks, so she began to receive monthly pocket money from Deng Xiangyun.
Chen Bamei came to the Zhou family in the summer of 1974. She has been working for almost two years now. Apart from the pocket money she receives every month, Deng Xiangyun still has more than 300 wages in her hands.
Although the money was not much, Lin Wei doubted whether they could keep their promises. If they came here once, the round-trip cost would be 10 to 20 yuan at most, and it would cost 100 yuan to leave once. The net profit was more than 80 yuan. Come for a refund?
“That’s not true. Eight sisters decided to leave our house. Ah Hai made an agreement with the surrounding agricultural brigade and let her settle down there.” Seeing Lin Wei’s puzzled face, Deng Xiangyun explained, “This time they are actually looking for her daughter. In the name of , contacted the troops to come on the supply ship, this time they took the money and left, and they also crossed the road in the army, and when the eighth sister settled in the agricultural brigade, they will have to find a way when they come back.”
They couldn’t take the military supply ship, so they had to take a detour from Zhan City to take a civilian boat, but they were all ordinary farmers, and they didn’t know one big character. It was not as easy as this time to find a way to come by boat.
At least in the past few years, it is unlikely that they will come. When they come back again, maybe Chen Bamei is married, and the constraints of her parents’ family will be much less.
Although there is an element of self-comfort to think like this, it is also a reality. Although the status of women has improved a lot after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and they no longer pay attention to the “father at home, and husband after marriage”, but in rural areas, many women are cattle and horses for their parents’ family before marriage, and they do their best for their husband’s family after marriage, and they can’t help themselves.
Lin Wei asked, “When will the eighth sister leave?”
“At the end of the month, when the time comes, I plan to invite her to a meal, so come along too.”
Although Chen Bamei’s agricultural brigade is not far from here, she also has her own life after she settles down, and she certainly cannot come to visit often.
Lin Wei was about to agree when she heard Deng Xiangyun say, “By the way, the eighth sister plans to change her name.”
“Why did you suddenly decide to change her name?” Lin Wei asked reflexively, but after thinking about it, she said, “It’s fine if she changed her name, has she decided to change it to something?”
“After thinking about it, she plans to change her name to Chen Lihua.”
Hearing this name, Lin Wei almost choked on the water and asked, “What do you think the eighth sister is called?”
“She plans to change her name to Chen Lihua, what’s the matter, you know someone with the same name?” Deng Xiangyun asked in confusion.
Lin Wei coughed and said, “I don’t know.”
She did not know Chen Lihua in reality, but Chen Lihua appeared several times in the original work.
Once in the mid-1980s, she went to Yangcheng on a business trip to invite Mingming to dinner. When the male and female protagonists met her son, she thought it was a relative of their family. When she met Zong Shao, she asked about it, but she was told that it was Mingming’s friend.
Chen Lihua’s second appearance was in the mid-1990s. At that time, she had just started doing business, and she gave a few orders, which was considered a support, so her situation was briefly introduced in the novel.
But in the novel, Chen Lihua’s hometown is Yazhou Island. In the late 1970s, he persuaded the brigade to set up a soy sauce factory on a farm. The soy sauce factory expanded rapidly because the soy sauce produced tasted good. In the late 1980s, a large number of enterprises turned private, and the soy sauce factory was also there. Among them, she thus opened the business territory.
The names are different and the hometown is different, so Lin Wei always thought that Chen Lihua and Mingming met later and never connected the two.
But now, Chen Bamei has changed her name and registered her household registration…
Lin Wei couldn’t help but sigh, fate is really amazing!
