In the past, Li Jianmin had always been afraid that Jiujiu's relationship with his mother was not good. However, at this moment, he realized that it was also a problem for a daughter-in-law to have a good relationship with her mother. When he thought of the embarrassing things he had done when he was young, Li Jianmin pulled Jiujiu's arm and walked home as he made up his mind.
In the future, he would not let Jiujiu go to his home if there was no important problem. Thinking that his dark history would be exposed by his mother, Li Jianmin wanted to hit someone.
There were only a few things to do in the New Year: visit relatives, visit relatives, visit relatives.
Originally, they should go back to their parents' home after getting married, but Jiujiu's home was a little far away, so they only needed to visit Li Jianmin's relatives here.
Li Jianmin didn't have many relatives here, but there were seven or eight. They went to visit them one by one, and it was almost the tenth day of the New Year.
Most of Li Jianmin's relatives didn't have a good attitude towards Li Jianmin marrying an educated youth like Jiujiu. After all, Jiujiu was beautiful and capable. Even if she didn't speak, they could tell that Jiujiu was better than them just by sitting there. Why would such a good girl marry a rural man like Li Jianmin?
Of course, most of Li Jianmin's relatives didn't think highly of him, but they didn't really say it out. After all, Li Jianmin was the most capable one among them. If they offended Li Jianmin, what would they do if he didn't help them in the future?
Jiujiu and Li Jianmin spent so many days visiting relatives during the New Year. Although there were unpleasant things, most of them were extraordinarily happy.
Compared with the visiting relatives of Li Jianmin and Jiujiu, the educated youths were as cold as a cold storage.
During the New Year, the educated youths were also given meat, but they were not good at cooking. The meat they made was just edible, not to mention other dishes.
Without a good New Year's Eve dinner, it was simply a bad beginning, not to mention that they didn't have relatives to visit at all.
When others went to visit relatives, the educated youths stayed in the house and chatted with each other. Occasionally, they would think about the future and the good times in the past, but the memories were already in the past. The future they imagined was illusory, and then there was endless emptiness.
Everyone was homesick. They wanted to go home, the food at home, and the people at home.
The educated youths' New Year began in such a lively manner and ended in such a cold and cheerless manner.
Because of the precedent of Jiujiu, some male educated youths began to fall in love with rural girls. Some female educated youths also fell in love, but they couldn't find someone as good as Li Jianmin, so they simply looked for male educated youths.
The educated youths all began to fall in love. By June, three or four male educated youths had married the girls in the village, and among the female educated youths, only Xu Mo Li was single.
It's not that Xu Mo Li doesn't want to fall in love, but her temper is too bad. She despises the people in the countryside for being bumpkins, but the educated youths also despise her bad temper, so when others fall in love, Xu Mo Li is still single.
Xu Mo Li was like a crow that fell into a flock of chickens, completely separated from the people around her.
And this ambiguous atmosphere of love did not immerse for long, and was soon broken by the news of the college entrance examination.
After knowing that the college entrance examination was not reinstated, whether it was the educated youths who were in love or the educated youths who were already married, they were very happy.
No one wanted to continue to stay in this small village and live a life of digging in the soil. The educated youths all wanted to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city, and then live a good life.
It was okay before they got married, they only needed to go to Li Changsheng to report their names, but the married educated youths were different. The villagers had a lot of opinions about them, and the women were also afraid that the male educated youths would never come back if they were admitted to the city, so those married male educated youths were pressed by their parents-in-law to get a marriage certificate.
The male educated youths got married completely because they couldn't bear the hardships. Now that they saw hope, how could they be willing to get a marriage certificate?
Getting married in the countryside was one thing, but getting a marriage certificate was another.
Without a marriage certificate, as long as they didn't talk when they went to the city, no one would know that they were married. But if they got a marriage certificate, it was tantamount to tying themselves to the rural girl. For a while, many of the educated youths' houses were in a mess, and there were people crying every day.
Originally, Li Changsheng and Chen Rong were quite confident about the relationship between Jiujiu and Li Jianmin, but after seeing the farce of the villagers several times, the two people also had some doubts in their hearts, and even thought about whether to cross out Jiujiu's name in the college entrance examination.
It was just that Li Changsheng and Chen Rong hadn't discussed a countermeasure yet, Jiujiu and Li Jianmin came to their house hand in hand.
Seeing Jiujiu and Li Jianmin coming over hand in hand with smiles on their faces, Li Changsheng and Chen Rong quickly put away the hesitation on their faces and greeted Jiujiu and Li Jianmin with a smile.
But today, Li Jianmin seemed to be a little different compared to the past. For example, in the past, he might hold Jiujiu's hand, but he wouldn't treat Jiujiu as carefully as a glass cup like today. He was more careful than if he touched Jiujiu's hand and was afraid of dropping it.
Li Jianmin's behavior naturally attracted the sidelong glances of Chen Rong and Li Changsheng. Chen Rong didn't hide anything in her heart and directly asked.
Hearing Chen Rong ask Li Jianmin, Jiujiu chuckled and said, "Mom, don't blame Jianmin for being careful. He also didn't know that I was pregnant until today."
"What? You're pregnant?" Hearing Jiujiu suddenly say that she was pregnant, Chen Rong was instantly shocked. Her pair of eyes kept looking at Jiujiu's small belly, as if she wanted to see the child in Jiujiu's belly through her clothes.
She wouldn't have known if she didn't look, but when she looked closely, Chen Rong realized that Jiujiu's belly seemed to be protruding. It was obvious that she was pregnant.
If there was one thing that Chen Rong was dissatisfied with Jiujiu, it was definitely because Jiujiu and Li Jianmin had been married for almost a year, but they still didn't have a child. At this moment, seeing Jiujiu's protruding belly, Chen Rong rebuked, "You child, you really can hold it in. Why did you only say it now?"
In response to Chen Rong's doubts, Jiujiu smiled and explained, "I only found out a while ago when I realized that I didn't have my period. I originally wanted to say it at that time, but thinking that it's dad's birthday in a few days, I wanted to say it on dad's birthday to make you and dad happy."
At this point, Jiujiu looked at Li Jianmin reproachfully. If Li Jianmin hadn't found out, she could still hold it in for four or five more days.
