Runye is pregnant!
After Zhao Dongchuan finished his business, he went home to visit his parents.
This made Guo Ping and Zhao Zhengguo very happy... a flurry of warm greetings!
Zhao Dongchuan had already mentioned participating in the college entrance examination before he came... saying that he had applied to a school in Beijing... but he kept the specific school a secret. “Let's not ask about college, then what about you and Runye? Has she not shown any signs yet?”
“Oh, Mom... this also depends on fate... the time is not right, don't rush...”
“Some couples also have children after one or two years, I've only been married for less than a year, besides, Runye and I are still young...”
“Alas... what you said also makes sense... never mind... let's not talk about this... how many days will you stay this time?”
“I've already finished my business, I'll go back tomorrow... Runye is still waiting for me at home!”
“You ungrateful child... you have a wife and forget your mother!”
“...”
“However, it's good that you go back early, work harder, and have my grandson born sooner...”
“...”
So, the next day, Guo Ping came over with a bowl of thick Chinese medicine.
“Drink this medicine, this is a great tonic soup... I got it from an old Chinese doctor, it's very nourishing...”
“Can I not drink it?”
“No, if you don't drink it, you can't leave!”
“...”
That afternoon, Zhao Dongchuan fled as if to escape, taking the train back to Huangyuan.
He began to doubt whether his decision to return to the capital was correct... wasn't this sending himself into his mother's hands... By the time he returned to Huangyuan, the matter had already been settled!
After the intervention of various forces, the plan of “not letting fertile water flow into outsiders' fields” was completely aborted.
The responsible persons were held accountable, given a warning, and their future career prospects were likely affected... Originally, those people wanted to stall... waiting until the enrollment period passed, then it would be useless to find them... But for some unknown reason, this matter reached the ears of a high-ranking leader in Beijing.
When that old man heard about it, he immediately gave instructions... saying that “the college entrance examination is not a child's play... it must be fair and just!”
This kind of thing could be big or small.
But if it were to be weighed... it would be unfair to the candidates... then what was the meaning of the college entrance examination?
The old man's first goal after his comeback was to focus on education, wasn't this acting against the wind... For this, the Minister of Education directly called the Provincial Education Bureau and demanded that they “properly” handle this matter, appease the parties involved, otherwise, they would all be fired!
Those people were so scared... they couldn't sleep at night, and overnight they sent the suppressed archives to the various admissions offices according to the actual declared volunteers... which left Teacher Liu from the Peking University admissions office completely bewildered!
After learning the whole story, he suddenly remembered what Zhao Dongchuan had told him on the phone, that he would handle it... He didn't dare to think further... Is Teacher Zhao, this educated youth from Beijing, really so deeply connected?
He actually blew this matter wide open!
...The following things went smoothly. Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye participated in the physical examination together, and after some reviews, on December 28th, he received a registered letter from Beijing, with Peking University as the sender.
Even though he already knew the result, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't suppress his excitement... As a former underachiever, he had dreamed countless times of being admitted to this top university.
He didn't expect this dream to actually come true in this world... He looked at the admission letter in his hand and was momentarily stunned... Jia Bing and his colleagues were all very happy for him. He wasn't the only one to receive an admission letter, but he was the only one from Peking University... When he returned home, Runye also looked at him with joy!
She was also holding an admission letter in her hand!
Sure enough... they both got into Peking University!
Good news kept coming. They also learned from Second Uncle that Tian Xiaoxia had also been admitted to university, to Huangyuan Normal University... Sun Shaoping, on the other hand, got into Xi'an Jiaotong University!
Runsheng only got into a vocational college, which was also pretty good!
Shaoping also became the first student from Shuangshui Village to be admitted to university!
For this, Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia even specially sent a letter to Zhao Dongchuan, thanking him for his earnest teachings!
Zhao Dongchuan looked at the letter Sun Shaoping sent, beaming with smiles!
“Don't laugh anymore, your mouth will be crooked if you keep laughing!”
Tian Runye said irritably.
“Hahaha... I'm happy for Shaoping and the others!”
“In my opinion... we're about to call Shaoping brother-in-law...”
“Brother-in-law?”
Tian Runye asked with wide eyes.
“You mean, Shaoping and Xiaoxia?”
“That's right... Don't you think they are a good match?”
“If you put it that way... I do think so... Uh... Uh!”
As she spoke, Tian Runye suddenly gagged!
“What's wrong?”
Zhao Dongchuan looked at Tian Runye's slightly flushed cheeks, and his heart stirred!
He walked forward, flattened Runye's hand, and then reached out to feel Runye's wrist... Don't forget, Zhao Dongchuan had basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine... He suddenly looked up at Runye and said in surprise, “This is a happy pulse!”
Runye was a little puzzled: “Happy pulse?”
“It means you're pregnant!”
Zhao Dongchuan explained.
“Ah!”
Runye stood stunned, her eyes gradually turning red... Zhao Dongchuan quickly hugged Runye and said with a smile, “Oh, isn't this good news, why are you crying...”
“Wuwuwu!”
It was better not to comfort her; the more he comforted her, the louder Runye cried!
For nearly a year, she had been looking forward to it, but the more she looked forward to it, the more disappointed she became.
Her belly showed no signs, and she became more and more anxious... At night, she would always overthink things. In order to get pregnant, she had been very proactive during this period, desperately seeking... just hoping to increase her chances... Coming from the countryside, she knew very well what vicious words those “gossips” would use to slander her behind her back, and even slander Zhao Dongchuan, saying that they were hens that wouldn't lay eggs... “Alright! Alright! This is triple happiness! We must celebrate properly!”
“Mmm-hmm...”
Zhao Dongchuan also felt a surge of emotion. Could it be that one of those Chinese medicines had worked? Is it that miraculous?
Although he understood some traditional Chinese medicine, the system only gave him basic knowledge, and he didn't know much about this aspect... But he was going to be a father... To be honest, he didn't feel much yet... He had never been a father, an experience he had never had before... Zhao Dongchuan immediately told his parents the good news, and Runye also called the Yuanxi County Revolutionary Committee to inform her Second Uncle and Second Aunt, asking them to tell her parents!
Now the whole family was happy for them, even more so than getting into university.
Given Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye's current situation, they would live well even without getting into university; the college entrance examination was just icing on the cake.
The next day, to ensure everything was foolproof, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye still went to the hospital for a check-up, and the report showed that she was indeed pregnant.
Afterward, they invited Jia Bing, Wu Huiliang, Du Lili, and familiar colleagues from the Cultural Center, and of course, Director Wang, to their home for dinner.
Zhao Dongchuan personally cooked some home-style dishes, and chicken, duck, fish, and meat were certainly indispensable.
