Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 151

    In August, the admission notices for students taking the college entrance examination this year came one after another. The first one came was the admission notice from Huahua’s mother Liu Yue, who was admitted to the Chinese Department of a normal school in the south , although not admitted to the first choice, but Li Qinghua is not happy.

    “We finally have a college student!”

    “My son is a college student!”

    Her husband Liu Kai snorted: “Am I not a college student?”

      university!

    “Look at them, it’s been five or six years since I passed the test. My son passed the test the first time. He must have followed my mother’s ingenuity.” Li Qinghua boasted. .

    Liu Kai: “…”

    He thinks that you are clever, but that cleverness is not always on the right track.

    In this era, no matter what university you are admitted to, it is a happy thing.

    Zhang Chengbei came to celebrate them: “Brother Tiaotiao has been admitted to university?”

    “Admitted!”

    “Congratulations!”

    Qin Rou, sister-in-law Xiao, and many other family members came to Liu’s house to congratulate, and sister-in-law Xiao said, “Your family Liu Yue has changed a lot over the years.”

    “Isn’t that true?” Li Qinghua sighed to himself: “It’s said that the eighteen changes of women’s colleges, our family’s men’s colleges have changed eighteen times, my family Liu Yue used to be a little black monkey, now – skin Like a peeled egg.”

    He used to be a red-faced Guan Gong, but now he has become a white-faced scholar.

    Sister-in-law Xiao looked at Liu Yue, this young man was thin and tall like his father, but his facial features were more like Li Qinghua’s delicate appearance. At this moment, he has become white and thin, and he has a quiet and restrained temperament.

    Li Qinghua said with a smile: “Your children have also changed a lot.”

    Zhang Chengbei: “…I hope your family won’t change when they grow up. It’s just right now, lively.”

    “Skin, she’s more skinny than her brother when she was a child. It’s still like this when she grows up. Let her husband’s family worry about it in the future.”

    In the past, Li Qinghua and Liu Kai were worried about their daughter. Later, they thought that there are parents like Zhang Chengbei and his wife in this world. They like lively and naughty girls. Li Qinghua is relieved.

    Li Qinghua turned her head and said to her son Liu Yue: “Liu Yue, call your Uncle Zhang twice, he will help you take pictures.”

    “Mom, I don’t take pictures!” Liu Yue held the admission notice in his hand, the freshness and enthusiasm had not yet passed, and then looking at the things his mother prepared, he just wanted to run away .

    He was surrounded by a lot of uncles and aunts watching the fun.

    Zhang Yichao came back from summer vacation and followed behind his father to watch the excitement. He whistled and winked: “Liu Yue, hurry up and take pictures.”

    “Happy event, great event!”

    Li Qinghua took a big red flower and put it on Liu Yue’s body, and a horse was rented outside the family courtyard. Launched to parade the streets.

    The soldier guarding the gate also snickered to watch the fun.

    “Hurry up, get on the horse, your mother, I will try my best to find a borrowed horse.” Li Qinghua believes that today’s people are admitted to the university, just like the ancient people were admitted to the champion, they must walk the streets what!

    This is a life event!

    Qin Rou watched the fun with her four children, thinking that Huahua Mom had a big brain.

    Liu’s child may not be the best in school, but he must be the most flamboyant.

    Of course, because there are too few people admitted to university now, as long as someone is admitted to university, it is not uncommon for people in a village to put on a water table to celebrate.

    “Hurry up, Liu Yue gets on the horse! Brother Zhang, I will video you the whole process.”

    “To make a videotape later.”

    Li Qinghua was surprised: “Oh, you can still make video tapes!”

     “Of course, you can watch the video for decades to come.”

    “This is a good feeling, Liu Yue, get on the horse, this is your great deed!”

    Liu Yue was about to call for help, but it was useless to call for help. Liu Yue, wearing a big red flower, rode on a horse. There was a clicking sound.

    “Liu Yue, raise your head, you are now the champion, don’t be timid and can’t raise your head!

    “That’s right, Liu Yue, look up!”

    Liu Yue held the reins: “You people! I remember all of you. After the children in the compound are admitted to college, they will all come out for me to ride horses!”

    Liu Tiaotiao said: “Brother, don’t be ignorant of happiness in the midst of happiness, this is a grand show specially prepared for you by our mother!”

    “Mom, I don’t want this kind of pomp. When I go to university, I will find Uncle Cheng and borrow two macaques to come and beat gongs and drums for me.” For the macaques, the little cuties can still beat gongs and drums.

    Li Qinghua nodded: “You have a good idea.”

    Liu Yue: “??!!”

    Zhang Yichao sighed on the side: “My parents are honest, I was admitted to university, and they didn’t celebrate anything.”

    Zhangcheng North Road: “If you want to celebrate, wait for Liu Yue to come down, you go up, your father, I will take a few photos for you personally.”

    Zhang Yichao waved his hand: “Forget it, time has passed, what’s the point of doing it again?”

    “Let’s watch Liu Yue walk the streets!”

    “Speaking of monkeys beating gongs and drums, let’s find someone to borrow some gongs and drums.” Mrs. Xiao’s popularity is very popular, and she really found someone to borrow gongs and drums on the street, Liu Tiaojiao picked it up, Huanhuaxi took the lead in front, “Bang!” The gong sounded, and Zhang Dundun played the drum beside her playfully: “Dong dong dong!”

    Liu Tiaotiao shouted: “The champion is coming!”

    The two children happily led the way, Liu Yue wanted to lower his head and cover his face, “…”

    He has grown up and wants to face!

    A parade of people walked away lively, the sound of firecrackers in front, the crackling of gongs and drums, the red gun battles shattered and scattered, and the children ran out of the white smoke laughing.

    “On horseback!”

    “Ride on a horse!”

    …

    Qin Rou put one hand on one of her son’s shoulders and said with a smile, “What kind of prestige do you want when you go to college in the future?”

    Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize: “…”

    Remembering Liu Yue’s unlovable appearance just now, both brothers felt suffocated.

    Lu Weize said: “Mom, what were you like back then, what happened to my brother and I, let’s learn from you.”

    Qin Rou was admitted to the university that year, and there was basically no celebration.

    Qin Rou raised her eyebrows: “Really?”

    Lu Weize came over and rubbed secretly: “Mom, my brother may be able to get a provincial champion. Let him ride a big horse like this to parade through the streets.”

    “Tell our sister to dance the sword in front, and there must be a crowd watching.”

    Qin Rou thinks that you, this little dumpling, are very good at ideas.

    Lu Weizhou calmly said: “Brother, we both look the same, when the time comes, you will take the limelight on your behalf.”

    “Brother, you still come, you come…”

    Qin Rou smiled and said, “When the time comes, your mother will give you a special way to celebrate.”

    “Mom, help, please spare us.”

    “Wait!”

    Chen Jingyi received the admission letter from the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University, her sister Qin Mian was very excited, Qin Rou took a few children to watch the fun, and Chen Jingyi had more battles here, then But Huaqing University!

    The whole village came to congratulate, not to mention Chen Mian’s students. Although Chen Jingyi didn’t have the pomp of wearing a red flower and riding a tall horse, it was not bad.

    Qiongzhou Island TV station also sent someone to interview, knowing that Chen Jingyi is Qin Rou’s nephew, and exclaimed: “They are all acquaintances, acquaintances!”

    The leaders of the Education Bureau were also alarmed. In addition to the recent financial improvement, Dajiao Village also built Pearl Primary School, so I planned to take this opportunity to publicize it well: “I heard that there are people on Lucheng Street. How about riding a big horse and wearing safflower to go through the streets, how about you take a tour as well?”

    The people of Qiongzhou Island TV station are more fashionable, and suggested: “Riding is too outdated, let’s sit in Santana wearing red flowers now!”

    So the students who did well in the test took the government public bus and went out for a parade.

    There are also people from the TV station who videotaped the whole process, which is to be broadcast on the local TV station.

    “Mom! Mom! Look, cousin Jing Yi is out!”

    “Cousin’s on TV!”

    Lu Weize said: “Look for it, we are also on the roadside, where is our mother?”

    “I haven’t seen it yet, it should be there later!”

    On TV, Qin Rou’s family saw Chen Jingyi walking through the streets with a blank face wearing red peanuts.

    Chen Jingyi is now a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing shirts and trousers, his hair is also different from the popular curly lion chow head, but neat and fine black hair docile in his ears, His eyes were very dark, especially conspicuous among several students.

    Of course, he is not the most conspicuous one. There is always no shortage of cows in the world. There was a student with a shaved head that was very happy that day. It is said that he was going to the perm shop to prepare for the street parade. He permed his hair, but one accidentally burned it, so he simply asked the barbershop to get a bald head and put on a hat.

    He was very happy in the car, his head and hands stretched out to say hello to the people along the street.

    “Hello everyone! Hello everyone!”

    “Comrades, hard work!”

    …

    There is a little bit of carnival when the little swallow is parading in the street.

    Lu Weize said: “Brother, wait for you later… Hurry up and take a look, you will be treated like this in the future.”

    Lu Weize: “I’ll give you this treatment, can’t you get the little dumplings?”

    “I’ll forget it.”

    “Mom, how do you think they do all these bells and whistles?”

    Qin Rou spreads her hands, thinking who knows.

    It’s a good thing that she didn’t get the treatment of parading in the street when she took the university entrance exam.

    “Jing Yi? This kid came back from the street and has been locked in his room. No one has seen him. Haha, don’t laugh at him.” Qin Mian thought of his son’s lovelessness The appearance of the “Glorious Door Lintel” is also amusing.

    “His brother Jinghua and brother Juanjuan both called back, and they all lamented that they didn’t have this kind of treatment back then.”

    “Can I take the Santana!”

    “They didn’t even get on the motorcycle.”

    Qin Rou smiled and said, “There is a horseman in our family’s courtyard.”

    Now that everyone’s economic ability is getting better and better, they naturally start to come up with all kinds of strange ways to celebrate.

    “Are you riding a horse?!” Qin Mian was surprised, “The people from the TV station should be filmed.”

    The sisters Qin Rou and Qin Mian chatted for a while, and the phone rang over there. The two sisters now have telephones in their homes.

    I answered the phone, it was from Lu Xuan, Xia Mingxi’s voice came out: “I saw Jing Yi on TV!! Hahaha so handsome!! I envy him so much. !”

    “Auntie, you are here too, you must tell Jing Yi that his brother Ming envies him so much!”

    “I was admitted to the Medical University, and the TV station here won’t come to film me…”

    …

    Qin Rou thought to herself that only a social cow like Xia Mingxi would like this opportunity to be on TV.

    “What’s more, you know Liu Yue, his admission notice has arrived, and he is riding a horse through the street wearing a big red flower.”

    “Wow!!” Xia Mingxi exclaimed: “This is also great!”

    “In the future, my brother Honghong Kao University will also make this scene for him!”

    …

    Hang up the phone, Qin Mian smiled softly, and with a bit of reluctance, she said to Qin Ju: “Now the last child is going to leave his parents to go to college, and he will be at home in the future. I’m left with Principal Chen…”

    The old man Chen is gone, the eldest daughter and the eldest son went to college earlier, and now the youngest son has also been admitted to college, and the couple will be left in the family from now on.

     “When the child is there, he thinks the child is noisy, and when the child is gone, he thinks it is too quiet.”

    Qin Rou nodded: “When children grow up, they always have to leave their parents and fly to their own blue sky.”

    “A sister, you are still early, the Doudourong sisters are only seven years old, and there will be days to accompany you in the future.”

    “Young couples come to accompany you all the time. In the end, your wife will be with you.”

    “Sister, how old are you, so you express such emotion?” Qin Rou smiled: “Did you forget that there are so many children waiting for you in Principal Chen’s school?”

    “Yes, yes, the children in this school are like leeks that can’t be cut. They grow, cut, and come again. After one class of graduates is delivered, Another class of graduates.”

    Chen Jingyi, Xia Mingxi, and Liu Yue went to study abroad, Lu Weizhou brothers went to junior high school, and they have to go to university in a few years, Lu Siyao and Lu Sining went to primary school.

    Lu Siyao learned the violin from a teacher, while Lu Sining was attracted by the Cantonese Opera Troupe and followed her to practice basic skills in the Cantonese Opera Troupe every day.

    Qin Rou looked amused and asked her little Rongrong to teach herself to throw the sword: “How to throw it?”

    Qin Rou felt that the action of throwing the sword was very handsome, so she threw the sword in her hand upwards, and then caught it chicly. Qin Rou tried to throw it, but she avoided it subconsciously.

    “Mom, don’t hide, just throw it up like this, you can catch it with your eyes closed!”

    In order to show herself, Lu Sining threw a sword in front of her mother, but… she didn’t catch it.

    A mistake in pretending.

    Qin Rou: “Our family’s Rongrong heroine should practice more.”

    Lu Sining was so angry that she stepped on the wooden sword on the ground several times.

    Qin Rou smiled: “I broke my foot and my mother bought you a new one.”

    “Mom, I want to act in a martial arts TV series in the future, and I want to be a martial arts master.”

    “Then hurry up and practice more basic skills.”

    Nowadays, whether it’s a movie or a TV series, there are very high demands on the drama. All the actors have martial arts skills, and many actors are opera actors, who have the kung fu of opera and drama.

    “Don’t open your voice at home, go outside to practice like your sister.”

    Doudourongrong has two daughters, one learns the violin and the other learns to sing Cantonese opera. Unlike others who learn to dance, they are all behaviors that can generate a lot of noise.

    When Lu Yan went home, he said to Li Youtie of the submarine detachment: “My two daughters, it is estimated that they will be admitted to art school in the future.”

    Li Youtie wanted to hear the Zhouzhou Dumpling brothers sing, thinking that the brothers were going to study art, but who knew that these two brothers… have no musical skills in them, and their mother who was born in the art troupe Very different.

    Li Youtie laughed at Lu Yan several times behind her back, but she didn’t expect that in a blink of an eye, another pair of beautiful, lovely and good-sounding little girls would come.

    “You must teach me well, your daughter is so beautiful, maybe she can still act and make movies in the future.” Li Youtie’s tone is quite sour, this old Lu is really the most beautiful in the family’s courtyard An enviable man with a beautiful wife, sons and daughters, all in pairs.

    “You can watch your daughter on TV.”

    Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled: “What? Are you envious?”

    “Humph.” Li Youtie snorted softly, “It’s not that I don’t have a daughter, so I still envy you?”

    “Does the old Zhang next door envy you, old Lu?” The two of them had already walked to the door of Lu Yan’s house, Li Youtie was talking, and went to the yard next door glanced.

    Zhang Chengbei really heard their conversation: “Can I still envy him Lao Lu? I have three sons, Liu Jiatiao is my goddaughter!”

    Li Youtie laughed: “In the future, if your goddaughter married your son, you will be a double happiness, old Zhang, good thing! Good thing!”

    “My family enters my house.”

    Zhang Chengbei was furious: “Don’t ruin the reputation of jumping, how can you make such a joke?”

    “Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong.” After Li Youtie finished speaking, he left with a smile.

    Lu Yan looked at Zhang Chengbei and smiled slightly: “Old Zhang, isn’t this a good thing? Why is there such a big fire?”

    “If you marry your daughter in the future, won’t you get angry?”

    Lu Yan “tsk tsk” twice: “You, you can go talk to Lao Wang more.”

    “One by one is worried about marrying their daughters.”

    Lu Yan shook his head and walked back to his yard. Qin Rou was going out with a basket at the moment, and stopped Lu Yan, and the couple picked tomatoes and cucumbers together.

    Lu Yan hugged her waist from behind and put her chin on her shoulder. The couple whispered, “When the children leave, we will be left…”

    “What? You can’t bear it?”

    Lu Yan laughed: “I mean – we are left to be happy.”

    Don’t say it, Qin Rou also thought about it.

    “We just got married and have two babies, we haven’t spent a few days together with the two of us, send the Zhouzhou dumplings away, and then send the bean paste away, and we are left Two, when the time comes, your brother Lu will be able to go home to accompany you every day, and will accompany you every day when you retire later.”

    Qin Rou turned her head to hold his face, and said with a chuckle, “Just watch it like this every day, from never getting tired of seeing each other to seeing each other? And then disgusting each other?”

    “Your brother Lu will definitely not despise you.”

    Lu Yan smiled and kissed her face, putting his snow-white hat on her head.

     “Just looking at it every day will definitely be annoying, and occasionally you have to be a little better than a newlywed.”

    Lu Yan rubbed her face and looked at her tenderly: “I can’t bear to part with you.”

    “You can talk more now than you were when you were young.” You used to be unable to utter a single love sentence for a long time, but now sweet words come out of your mouth.

    “It’s the same sentence, treat me with admiration for three days, Comrade Xiao Qin.”

    Time is fast approaching October, Qin Rou and a few people from the pearl cultivation factory went to Zhongying Street in Shencheng. They walked around the street, in addition to selling all kinds of imported goods In addition, there are more gold shops, and even people on the street are saying: “More and more people come to buy gold jewelry.”

    Gold jewelry at this time is about forty-five to seventy grams per gram. Gold bracelets are large pieces. Compared with gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold rings, etc., they are at least more than ten grams. gold bracelets are extremely expensive.

    Ordinary gold rings and gold earrings are much cheaper, and three or four grams of gold rings are very beautiful on the hand.

    For things like gold jewelry, many people may think that the color is vulgar, but gold is really beautiful and has good gloss, which is unmatched by other metals.

    Gold jewelry looks great on people with fair skin.

    “Here, look over there, two more gold shops will be opened.”

    Qin Rou followed and looked into the corner, and she saw that two more gold shops were about to open.

    Since last year, the gold business in Zhongying Street has become more and more popular. Because of domestic policies, private individuals cannot freely buy and sell gold, and the gold here is of good condition and low price. It has become the preferred place for domestic people to buy gold.

    Qin Rou wanted to cooperate with several gold shops to sell pearls. She took Xiao Yang, another person in charge of the breeding factory, to ask a few gold shops that were selling well. Who knew the gold shops said: “We can’t hold any gold in this store, so there’s nowhere to sell pearls.”

    “People come to buy gold.”

    Selling gold is obviously more profitable than selling anything else.

    The gold here is not worrying about selling at all, it will be sold out in a few days, and there is absolutely no need to discuss cooperation with people. When people come to the gold shop, isn’t it just to buy gold jewelry?

    In the end, Qin Rou asked around and found a suitable partner. It was a newly opened gold store. It used to be a grocery store, but it was recently changed to a gold store.

    The name of the gold shop is Longxingji Gold Ornament Shop, and the owner of the gold shop is Huang Xingqiang. Not long after he changed his career and decided to do the gold shop business, he also recruited several goldsmiths.

    “You pearls are really beautiful.” Huang Xingqiang saw the seawater pearls they brought over, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, his wife said by the side: “I think it will be very beautiful to make jewelry with gold. .”

    Qin Rou nodded: “When we came, we designed several sets of jewelry with gold pearls. Would you like to come and see?”

    Huang Xingqiang and his wife saw the design drawings, his wife’s eyes lit up: “It looks good together.”

    His wife was referring to the necklace with gold feathers and pearls. Just by looking at the drawing, I could already imagine how beautiful it would look.

    “Can I buy you a pearl necklace? I think it looks good with my red dress.”

    “I’ve seen pearls before, but I’ve never seen one so beautiful.”

    “Your pearl earrings are so pretty.”

    Qin Rou took out a pair of pearl ear hooks for Huang Xingqiang’s wife. The pearl ear hooks are seawater pearls of about nine to ten millimeters. The color is bright and the halo is extremely soft. On the ears, there is a gentle temperament.

    Huang Xingqiang’s wife liked it as soon as she put it on,

    “As soon as this pearl is put on, people become gentle.”

    The wife was smug in front of the mirror, and Huang Xingqiang said on the side: “Isn’t it true, as soon as this pearl is put on, the **** becomes gentle.”

    “What did you say?”

    After negotiating cooperation with the Huang family and the couple, they left a person and a small batch of pearls here. Qin Rou also ordered the gold jewelry that she wanted to buy and took the boat back to Qiongzhou Island.

    As soon as she returned to the island, someone from the TV station came to contact her in person, saying that she planned to hold the Qiongzhou Island Beauty Contest next year

    Director Wu invited Qin Rou to be a judge.
