"There will be more after the college entrance examination. Don't worry."
Jiujiu's words settled Li Jianmin's heart directly.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't take the college entrance examination this time, Li Jianmin thought that Jiujiu was right. He could have more children after the college entrance examination, but children were hard to come by. Moreover, even if there were more children, it couldn't be this child.
Thinking of the child, Li Jianmin's face couldn't help but become warm. After bowing his head and gently kissing Jiujiu's forehead, he said, "Juan 'er, don't worry. I will take good care of you and your mother."
Jiujiu leaned in Li Jianmin's arms. After a sound of agreement, her face was full of trust.
The college entrance examination came and went quickly.
The educated youths in the village wanted to take the college entrance examination, but they didn't want to get a marriage certificate. In the end, under Li Changsheng's tough attitude, if they didn't get a marriage certificate, their names wouldn't be reported. The educated youths who got married had to get a marriage certificate.
However, even if they got a marriage certificate, no one knew what the educated youths were thinking.
After the college entrance examination, it was a long period of waiting. The educated youths became giraffes one by one. They waited at the entrance of the village almost three days and three nights to see if anyone would send them an admission letter.
However, one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, seven days, eight days, ten days, half a month, and one month had passed. The educated youths in other places had begun to salute and prepare to go to school, but no one here had received an admission letter. Even if no one said it, they knew what the result was.
No one was admitted. Not a single one.
The villagers didn't feel anything, but those who had all hopes of escaping the countryside and putting all their hopes on the college entrance examination couldn't bear it in an instant.
In order to take the college entrance examination, they all got a marriage certificate with a rural girl. But now, they were told that they didn't pass the college entrance examination. How could they bear it?
The villagers were relieved that the educated youths didn't pass the college entrance examination, especially the families of those who were married.
Even though they had gotten the marriage certificate, they were still afraid that these educated youths would make a fuss about getting a divorce after they passed the exam. But now, none of them had passed the exam. It was really good.
Although they didn't pass the exam, most of the educated youths were prepared to revise and come back next year. Those educated youths who regarded the college entrance examination as the last straw were completely stimulated and didn't calm down for a long time.
However, Jiujiu didn't care about the performance of these educated youths and their plans at all because she was pregnant and needed to take care of the fetus.
Life was just like that. No matter if you were doing well or not, he would always move forward.
She clearly felt that the college entrance examination was just yesterday, and today was the new year.
Just before the New Year, Jiujiu received a letter from her family.
Her family expressed some regret for Jiujiu's decision to give up the college entrance examination because of her pregnancy. But they knew that it was unrealistic to let Jiujiu take the college entrance examination while pregnant. So they told Jiujiu that there would be the college entrance examination next year. They hoped that Jiujiu would take the college entrance examination after giving birth.
And there was a package with the letter, which contained some children's clothes. Jiujiu's parents said in the letter that because they didn't know whether Jiujiu's child was a boy or a girl, the color of the clothes was relatively neutral. They hoped that Jiujiu and Li Jianmin wouldn't dislike it.
How could Li Jianmin dislike the clothes sent by his father-in-law and mother-in-law? He was so happy that he was about to die.
Jiujiu's parents didn't come.
Pay attention to the rest of your eyes after reading for a long time. Recommended reading on Nibbling Book:
When he wrote the letter, he had been looking forward to the letter. When the letter came, he was afraid that Jiujiu's parents were against him and Jiujiu being together. When he saw what was written in the letter, especially when he saw the small things that his father-in-law and mother-in-law sent to their child, he could see that they sincerely accepted him.
There was nothing happier than having his parents-in-law accept him wholeheartedly.
If Jiujiu's belly wasn't so big now, Li Jianmin would have wanted to hold Jiujiu and spin in circles.
Li Jianmin hugged Jiujiu's shoulder and kissed Jiujiu's cheek. He took out the clothes from the package and looked at them. His face was smiling like the Maitreya Buddha. It was so festive.
Li Jianmin smiled happily. His face was about to turn into a morning glory.
Last year, the educated youths didn't have a good New Year because it was too hard for them. This year, they didn't have a good New Year because they all failed the exams.
Compared to the educated youths, Jiujiu's side was very good.
Because Jiujiu was pregnant this year, the New Year's Eve dinner was naturally at Li Zhangsheng's place. Because of the snow this year, Li Zhangsheng and Chen Rong were afraid that it would be difficult to travel, so they took care of visiting relatives. Jiujiu and Li Jianmin only needed to stay at home every day.
After the New Year, the fields began to be busy, and Jiujiu's belly was getting bigger and bigger.
Jiujiu was born at night. Jiujiu and Li Jianmin were discussing the name of the child when Jiujiu felt that she was going to give birth.
The midwife was found in advance. When Li Jianmin heard that Jiujiu was going to give birth, he immediately invited her over.
In less than an hour, Jiujiu gave birth to a little fatty.
Li Jianmin was still in a daze when he held the little fatty in his arms.
He put his son in the arms of Chen Rong, who was so happy that she could barely see her teeth. Li Jianmin pulled Auntie Seven, who was helping with the labor, and asked, "Auntie Seven, how is my wife?"
Rural women were used to the man asking about the child before asking about the woman. Auntie Seven didn't expect Li Jianmin to ask about Jiujiu first. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Juan 'er was well taken care of when she was pregnant, so she gave birth quickly. She's asleep now."
Li Jianmin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Auntie Seven say that Jiujiu was asleep. He lowered his head to look at his and Jiujiu's child.
Li Jianmin had seen many children who were just born. They were all red and wrinkled.
However, Li Jianmin didn't know if it was because this was his child, but he felt that his child was very good-looking no matter how he looked at it. With that face and those eyes, he would definitely be an outstanding boy in the future.
Moreover, when he thought that this child was his and Jiujiu's child, Li Jianmin's heart was filled with excitement. If Jiujiu wasn't already asleep, Li Jianmin would definitely go into the room to hug Jiujiu and tell her his heartfelt feelings.
Jiujiu spent a lot of energy giving birth. By the time she woke up, it was already night time.
The moment Jiujiu opened her eyes, she saw Li Jianmin sitting by the kang bed holding her hand.
When he saw that Jiujiu was awake, Li Jianmin hurriedly sat up on the kang bed. He looked at Jiujiu with a nervous expression and asked, "Juan 'er, how are you feeling? Does your stomach hurt? Are you hungry? Do you want some water?"
Li Jianmin asked several questions in one breath. After he finished asking, he felt that he might not be able to take care of many things as a man. He originally wanted to call Chen Rong, but he was afraid that he would wake his son up because of his loud voice. Li Jianmin patted the back of Jiujiu's hand and tiptoed out to tell Chen Rong that Jiujiu was awake.
