I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 251: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 40

After finally getting through a month, Qingyue washed her hair several times and took a shower. Only then did she feel comfortable.

After Qingyue's confinement period was over, her mother-in-law Zhang Yufen was about to go back. She was reluctant to leave her grandson Jiang Yu, but she missed her old man. Since she married Jiang Baoguo, she had never been separated from him for such a long time, and she didn't know whether he ate or slept well.

Before she left, Qingyue and Jiang Xiangdong prepared some food and clothes, and also took pictures of her children.

Her father-in-law couldn't come, and she couldn't take the children back, so she could only let her mother-in-law Zhang Yufen take the photos back.

After Zhang Yufen went back, Jiang Xiangdong hired an old lady to take care of the child instead of letting Qingyue take care of the child by herself. He didn't want his wife to be so tired.

The aunt only comes to take care of the child during the day, and Jiang Xiangdong will look after him at night.

When the child was hungry at night, Jiang Xiangdong would get up and hold the child in Qingyue's arms, and only coax him to sleep after he had drunk his fill.

Fortunately, her child doesn't cry much, and only hums a few times when he is hungry or has diarrhea.

After Qingyue came to live in the army, she would often write letters to Wang Juan.

In addition to talking about the other person's life, Wang Juan would also tell her village gossip.

For example, Fang Yun.

Fang Yun's life is similar to when Qingyue came, but there are still some differences.

Fang Yun could not hide the fact that she was often beaten by her mother-in-law Zhao Meihua, and the whole village knew about it.

The captain naturally would not allow such a thing to happen and just criticized a few words, but something dramatic happened. Not only did Fang Yun not tell Zhao Meihua about her grievances, she even stood beside Zhao Meihua and accused the captain of meddling in other people's affairs with her.

This stab in the back made the captain so angry that his face turned blue and he didn't say anything else.

Qingyue could probably guess why Fang Yun said that. She was obsessed with Jiang Yuan becoming a rich man and then a rich wife. If she told the captain about the difficulties of her life, she would anger Zhao Meihua.

Zhao Meihua didn't like her in the first place. If she joined others in blaming Zhao Meihua, Zhao Meihua might dislike her even more and might even drive her away.

So she would never allow such a thing to happen. She wanted to be Jiang Yuan's wife forever and she would not leave.

However, instead of thanking her, Zhao Meihua thought Fang Yun was a jerk and treated him even worse.

After Zhang Yufen returned to the village from the army, in addition to showing the photo of her grandson to her old man, she also went to find her friends in the village to show off. By chance, this matter was heard by Zhao Meihua who was wandering around the village with nothing to do.

When she got home, she started talking about Fang Yun: "You've been married for a few years, but you're still not pregnant. You can't do your work well, and you can't have a baby. You're really useless."

Fang Yun felt miserable. She also wanted to have a child to tie Jiang Yuan down completely, but Jiang Yuan didn't come home often, and even when he did, he hardly touched her. What could she do? She couldn't have a child by herself.

It seems she has to think of a solution.

.......

Time passed quickly, spring went and winter came, and it was 1977.

A major event happened this year: the college entrance examination was resumed, shocking the whole country. In particular, some people who were confused about the future finally saw hope.

The state stipulates that some workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the mountains and the countryside, demobilized soldiers, etc. can take the college entrance examination.

Upon hearing the news, those who could take the college entrance examination were excited, but what followed was looking for textbooks to review.

Those who have channels can buy it, but those who don’t can only go to a purchasing station or borrow it.

Qingyue had already bought it, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

The preparation time for the first college entrance examination was very rushed, with only more than a month to review. This time was also different from every subsequent college entrance examination, as it was not held in summer, but in winter.

Fortunately, Qingyue had been reviewing regularly before, and she would not forget anything she had read or learned, so she was not nervous at all about the college entrance examination.

On this day, Qingyue was reading and doing exercises at home, and all her attention was focused on the books.

"Mother."

Hearing the voice, Qingyue looked up and saw a small person coming in front of her.

Touching his slightly cold face, Qingyue said gently: "Baby, where did Daddy take you to play?"

Jiang Yu's little hand grabbed one of Qingyue's fingers and blinked twice: "Mom, Dad and I went to watch the older brothers jogging. They are all taller than me. Mom, when can I be as tall as them?"

Qingyue held him in her arms: "As long as you eat more and exercise more, you can grow as tall as those brothers."

"really?"

"Really? When has mom ever lied to you?"

Jiang Yu said happily: "Okay, I will eat more in the future."

Jiang Xiangdong closed the door and walked over, kissed Qingyue, and then said, "Then you can't be picky about food. Daddy will make carrots for you tonight."

Jiang Yu's face fell. He didn't like eating carrots at all. How could there be such a disgusting food in the world?

Jiang Xiangdong was just playing a joke on Jiang Yu, there were no carrots for dinner.

Eating carrots is good for the body, but Jiang Yu really can't eat them. They won't force her. Their family is not without money, so they can just buy other nutritious foods.

After dinner, Jiang Xiangdong went to clean up, and Qingyue took Jiang Yu to play for a while before returning to his room. Qingyue told Jiang Yu a bedtime story, and after watching him fall asleep, she kissed him softly on the forehead before tiptoeing back to the master bedroom.

At this time, Jiang Xiangdong had already packed up and was waiting for her.

Seeing Qingyue coming in, he picked up Qingyue without saying a word and let her sit on his lap. Qingyue was already used to this. She skillfully put her hands on his shoulders and put her face in the crook of his neck.

Jiang Xiangdong stroked Qingyue's back repeatedly, and the atmosphere between them was warm and sweet.

"Wife, how is your review going? Are you confident?"

Qingyue nodded: "Of course I have, I have almost finished my review, I will definitely be admitted to Huaqing University."

Huaqing University is one of the best universities in China.

Jiang Xiangdong had no doubt that his wife was a smart person and would definitely pass the exam.

If his wife went to Huaqing, he would be separated from her. It seemed that he had to work harder and strive to join the army where his wife was.

Jiang Xiangdong kissed Qingyue's lips and said in a low voice: "Wife, let's go to sleep."

Qingyue looked at him, and there were two clear words in his eyes: want. Qingyue did not refuse, and she kissed Jiang Xiangdong on the cheek.

Jiang Xiangdong smiled, then carried Qingyue to the kang. In a short while, the lights in the room were turned off, but the sounds in the room did not disappear.
