Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 69
Zhang Qiaoer returned to the village and Jiahui did a lot of hard work. She had to prepare for the final exams and three meals a day to sell the food.
Fortunately, Shen Nianru wholeheartedly helped with the release, which saved her a lot of worries.
In July, students from various universities, elementary and middle schools and college students entered a long and happy summer vacation. At the end of July, the college entrance examination, which carried the happiness of millions of people, also came to the curtain.
The day before the exam, Zhao Donglin rushed back to the village to cheer for his younger brother.
“There are too many things in the city, your sister-in-law can’t come back, she asked me to give you a word, don’t have pressure, take the test.”
Zhao Donghe nodded, the corners of his eyes were slightly sour.
Zhang Qiao’er is also very happy to see that her elder son is back. Which parents don’t expect their children to be in harmony?
Because high school has returned to normal order, this year’s college entrance examination is naturally more formal than last year, and the exam questions are also more complicated than last year.
Donghe chose science and took the five subjects of politics, language, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Zhao Donglin accompanied him in the test.
After the exam is over, it is inevitable to have the correct answer. Donghe calculated it to be about two hundred and seventy points. This score is similar to that of Meixiang’s college entrance examination last year. Donghe is very nervous, afraid that his results will not be enough for this year’s volunteers.
“Relax, I hear that other people’s scores are not as good as yours. Let’s not mess around.”
The exam is over, it is useless to think too much, Dong He naturally understands this truth, but hopes too much, afraid that he will be disappointed.

Wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, Jiang Liangnv turned the ground at the gate of her yard, preparing to open another vegetable plot to sprinkle vegetable seeds.
Aunt Hua, a neighbor, swayed over and shouted from afar, “Good girl, I accompany Yunyun to take the exam in the county yesterday. Guess who I saw?”
Aunt Hua’s daughter Yunyun is a senior high school student, she should be divided into taking the college entrance examination. Jiang Liangnv stood up straight with a **** and wiped the sweat from her head. She didn’t want to guess or couldn’t guess, so she asked directly, “Who did you see? ?”
Aunt Hua pressed her throat and said mysteriously, “Your son-in-law Donghe.”
Jiang Liang’s daughter turned her head back at the instigation.
She hasn’t heard the name Zhao Donghe for too long, or she has been deliberately avoiding it, because it is always a pity to think of it every time.
Aunt Hua knew that she was interested when she saw her. She continued to smile and said, “His brother accompanied him to the village party secretary in Shanghe Village before, and the one who was admitted to the university later.”
Everyone knows that Zheng Yuefen has divorced Zhao Donghe and married to another commune not long after the divorce. Aunt Hua said this to Jiang Liangnv because she was in fact uneasy and kind.
The subtext is: Look, your ex-son-in-law went to the college entrance examination. There are so many college students in their family that he may be able to enter the college. Your daughter divorced him, and your family will not be touched when they become more developed.
Jiang Liangnv knew what Aunt Hua meant, and it was precisely because she knew that she hated it even more in her heart.
There is no need for her to inquire, news of the Zhao family will reach her from time to time. She knows that the life of the Zhao family will be better. There are three college students in the family, which is the first one in the commune. If Donghe is admitted again, the Zhao family will be victorious. The commune can really go sideways.
The daughter Zheng Yuefen has never returned to her natal home after remarrying, nor has she received a letter. The two communes are not close. To be honest, the daughter is not doing well or not, and she is not clear as a mother.
Why didn’t Zheng Yuefen go back to her family’s family? First, she didn’t want to touch the scene, because she was afraid that Donghe would think of stones. Second, she kept remembering the indifference of her elder brother Zheng Songnian to her. If she was allowed to live in the pigpen, she would die from that time.
She often wondered, if her natal family accepted her to live in her natal family, would she be able to wait for Donghe to change her mind? But as a result, Donghe died and wanted a divorce. Her family refused to accept her and asked her to marry her quickly. She is a woman with no survival skills and has no choice but to rely on a man.
After a half-year divorce with Donghe, after finishing the divorce procedures, the family gave her a date. He was a widower without a wife. He married soon after.
The new husband’s life is not as good as the Zhao’s. Her husband treats her well on weekdays. He will beat others when he is drunk, and admit his mistakes when he wakes up.
Every time she was beaten, she missed Donghe very much.
She misses Donghe, thinks of Stone, and the days of Zhao’s family. She often asks herself why she has lived in this field, why Donghe is unwilling to give her a chance to change, and why he desperately wants to divorce.
At first she thought Donghe was getting better with other people, but in the past two years she hadn’t heard of anyone he married.
Zheng Yuefen had resentment, hatred, love, and confusion in her heart, but what should and shouldn’t have happened has already happened, and no more thoughts will change.
I didn’t get pregnant for a year after marriage and received a lot of indifference from my in-laws. Fortunately, I got pregnant the next year, and now I have six months of baby in my belly.
For the sake of the child, she decided to forget the past and start a new life.
*****
The children’s summer vacation is happy. There is a park near home. Sooner or later, there are many children playing in the park. Jiahui handed over the task of bringing her younger siblings to the black egg.
When Zhao Donglin came back from the village, he brought Stone to spend his summer vacation. On the first day in the city, Stone declared that he never wanted to go back.
“There are delicious popsicles, chicken soup to drink every day, as well as Brother Black Egg, Sister Yingbao, and let the younger brother. I went back and there was nothing.”
“Then wait for your father to be admitted to college, shall we live in the city together?”
“Well, my dad will definitely pass it.”
Zhao Donghe’s volunteers are all filled in schools in the provincial capital, and the teacher-training college is a guaranteed volunteer.
He also doesn’t have any great volunteers. He just wants to have an academic background, work decently, and don’t need to work all over the world, so that Stone can live well with him.
After the summer vacation, there were more people watching movies, and business was better. Dean Zhu came to the house for a long time and begged for a long time. From 200 tea eggs to 300 tea eggs, 15 catties of chicken rice flowers increased to 20 catties, chicken wings and chicken feet also increased to 50 pairs.
Moreover, Jiahui also agreed with Dean Zhu that if he can’t sell it, he will count as Dean Zhu, so he will have to subsidize her with the cost.
Boss Zhu sighed more than once that Jiahui was too shrewd, too good at calculating, and she simply didn’t give others a little bit of money.
“Dean Zhu, you are a big boss and do big things. We are a small business. We don’t need to say how hard it is. You can see it yourself.”
“Yes, yes, what you said makes sense, anyway, I can’t tell you.”
He was surprised when he learned that the couple were students at Wudong University. Later, when he thought about it, it is no wonder that the couple’s abacus is so good, who makes people smart.
In the scorching heat of August, Jiahui was already busy with a lot of things in the morning. By nine o’clock, Jiahui sent some vegetables to the backyard. She didn’t see Shen Nian sitting in the yard as usual. She knocked on the door and Zhongdaomin was slightly bent. Came out from the waist.
“Uncle, I didn’t see my aunt today.”
With a lingering sadness on his face, Zhong Daomin pointed to the room and said, “Your auntie had a cold and fever last night, and she was lying on the bed after taking medicine.”
Colds in summer are the most troublesome. Elderly people pay attention to maintenance. Moreover, this kind of weather is not a cold weather. There is no air conditioner in this era. How can you easily catch a cold and have a fever!
Jiahui heard that Shen Nianru had a fever, and immediately asked anxiously, “Auntie has a fever? Can I go and see it?”
Zhong Daomin nodded, “Yes, she is in the back room, she is asleep after taking the anti-fever medicine.”
The room was sultry, and Shen Nianru was lying on the bed with a thin blanket on her belly.
Jiahui walked over, watched Shen Nianru’s face flushed, and touched her forehead. It was hot. The temperature was definitely more than thirty-eight, maybe thirty-nine.
In recent years, she has been very experienced in taking care of children. Jiahui was not relieved. She went back and took the mercury thermometer that she had kept at home to measure Shen Nianru’s temperature. Her temperature was 39 degrees.
When she saw such a high body temperature, Jiahui became anxious. She turned her head and said to Zhong Daomin, “Master, my auntie’s body temperature is too high, so she can’t just lie down at home. If you go down, you will be overwhelmed with a bit of trouble. We should still be more cautious and take it seriously.”
Shen Nianru is different from her mother-in-law Zhang Qiao’er. She is already weak. She suffered a few years ago and suffered a lot of physical loss. This makes it difficult for many rich and wealthy young ladies to give birth to babies, but women who work all the year round can carry the burden to give birth. On the ridge.
Zhong Daomin also panicked. He didn’t expect his wife to have such a severe fever. In fact, when he got up in the morning, he persuaded his wife to go to the hospital for a visit, but his wife said it was OK, just take some medicine and lie down.
Jiahui hurried home and called Zhao Donglin. Zhao Donglin went to the hospital with Shen Nianru behind her back. The doctor checked that it was not a common cold or fever but the flu, which would kill people. Everyone was afraid after listening to it for a while.
Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a thread.
Shen Nianru’s illness recovered intermittently after staying in the hospital for a week. Jiahui made porridge and soup every day and went to the hospital to see her. Shen Nianru was deeply moved.
“Girl, thanks to you and Dong Lin this time, otherwise, I’m just scratching the loess now.”
Shen Nianru held Jiahui’s hand and smiled weakly.
People die when the lights go out, and they have experienced so much in this life. The good and the bad have already been seen. There is no regret when they are really dead, but they don’t worry about leaving the old man alone.
“I felt close when I first saw you.”
Shen Nianru looked at Jiahui, as if looking at someone next to him through Jiahui.
“I and Lao Zhong have given birth to a girl in this life. Since she was born, I have always wanted to give her all the good things in the world. I hope she will grow up happily. I don’t expect her to be more talented. Just live happily. She grew up day by day and became a caring and sensible girl with bright eyes. She laughed like her father and has a pair of small dimples. Our hearts are really as sweet as eating honey.”
Tears slowly flowed down, and Jiahui passed a handkerchief from her bag.
“It’s a pity that she’s fate, and I went early. Lao Zhong and I always felt sorry for her and let her suffer along with us. At the same age as Huagudu, it would be gone.”
After regaining their freedom, they went to Heilongjiang and wanted to bring their daughter back. The poor daughter did not even have a place to live. Later, a local fellow pointed them to a high **** and said that there were several cemeteries in that area. It might be Nana’s.
Memories of the past here are unavoidable. Shen Nianru took a deep breath, calming his mood.
Shen Nianru had never mentioned these things before Jiahui. This was the first time.
The real wounds cannot be exposed to people. No matter how difficult it is for them to sleep every night, they never complain to others.
For them, their daughter is still alive and has not left this world.
“Lao Zhong and I thought that we were going to die alone together. I didn’t expect that meeting your family would be considered fate. I want to recognize you as a girl. I don’t know if you want to.”
Interpersonal marriage is a relatively popular custom in my country’s feudal society for a long time. There are generally two situations in which there are two situations in which interpersonal relations are recognized.
The other kind of situation is to continue the friendship, because once they recognize the interlocutors, the two parties have more frequent exchanges, imitating the way of family-friendship, and forming a relatively fixed relationship.
In other words, Shen Nianru recognized Jiahui as a god-daughter, and no matter where Jiahui went, she would not be able to abandon this affection. Shen Nianru was equivalent to Jiahui’s half mother.
Shen Nianru’s thoughts were a little bit sudden, and it took a few seconds for Jiahui to reflect, and she held Shen Nianru’s hand with red eyes.
“Mother, I am naturally willing. Both you and the uncle are so good to us. The relationship between us has long been more than relatives than relatives.”
Shen Nianru smiled with satisfaction.
“Okay, if you are willing, we will officially recognize my relatives when I am discharged from the hospital.”
“No, everything is up to you. Since I know it in my heart, you are my godfather and godmother.”
Shen Nianru smiled and nodded, feeling the most relaxed in the past few years.
After being discharged from the hospital, although Jiahui said that she didn’t need to be so particular, Shen Nianru held a table of wine very solemnly. In addition to Zhao’s family, she also invited some of her old friends.
She gave Jiahui a jade bracelet and a pair of earrings as a confession gift, and also bought two new clothes for Jiahui from top to bottom.
The jade bracelets and earrings are old objects. They were hidden in every way they could to avoid the fate of being ruined.
I thought it was left by my ancestors, and I thought that if something really happened, I could exchange some money for temporary needs, and if I didn’t need it, I would wait for her daughter Nana to grow up as a dowry.
It’s impossible to dowry for Nana, and now it’s all the same for Jiahui.
In mid-August, Zhao Donghe found his score on the college entrance examination. It was 294 points, which was more than 30 points higher than his previous estimate. According to Zhao Donglin’s analysis, this score must be no problem in college, and he can now be admitted. Notice to see which university he was admitted to.
The newspaper said that 6.1 million people took the college entrance examination this year, and the acceptance rate was 7%. That is to say, only 420,000 of the 6.1 million candidates received the university admission letter.
Zhao Donghe was notified when he was working on the ground, saying that the commune had an email from him and asked him to pick it up.
Hearing the notification that Zhao Donghe’s heart thumped and thumped, he had a foreboding of the good news that he was looking forward to.
“I’m admitted! I’m finally admitted to college.”
Ecstasy, excitement, and sometimes things pass after the excitement, and the rain passes and the weather is fine.
His life will finally open a new chapter.
