Chapter 1622: Restoration of the College Entrance Examination
Time passed swiftly, and finally the news arrived that the college entrance examination had been restored.
Immediately, people ran about to share the news; even Fu Yanwan, who was still in her postpartum confinement, put on winter clothes, wrapped herself up, and went out to call Liu Chuxue: "Fourth Sister-in-law, the college entrance examination has been restored. It really has been restored."
"You are still in confinement; how could you run out? If Mom finds out, see how she will nag you."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I was just too happy, and besides, I wore winter clothes when I went out."
"Alright, Fourth Sister-in-law knows you are happy, but you cannot neglect your health. Right now, recovering your body is the top priority. As for reviewing, I believe you are already well-prepared."
"After listening to Fourth Sister-in-law's advice, I never put down my books. Now that it has been half a month since I gave birth, my body has recovered quite well. I can just take some time each day to review. Fourth Sister-in-law, thank you."
The two sisters-in-law chatted a few more words, and only then did Fu Yanwan excitedly hang up the phone.
It was truly as if whatever was spoken came true; Fu Yanwan ran all the way home and saw her mother-in-law, Fu's mother, waiting at the door with a stern face: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Fu Yanwan clung to her own mother's arm in a coquettish manner: "Mom, I was just too happy; I just wanted to share it with Fourth Sister-in-law."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu's mother slapped her back: "You are in postpartum confinement; can you not be a bit more sensible?"
Ren Jiangfeng, who had just entered with a face full of excitement, saw this scene and hurried forward to shield his wife: "Mom, Mom, what is going on?"
Fu's mother rolled her eyes at her son-in-law: "Ask her yourself."
Having said that, she walked into the room.
Seeing his mother-in-law enter the room, Ren Jiangfeng asked: "Xiao Wan, are you okay?"
Fu's mother hadn't actually struck hard; Fu Yanwan grabbed his hand: "Jiangfeng, have you heard too? The college entrance examination has been restored."
Hearing his wife's words, Ren Jiangfeng finally remembered the purpose of his running out: "Yes, Xiao Wan, the college entrance examination has been restored; we have finally waited for this."
The two held hands and jumped up in the courtyard.
Fu's mother had been inside the room for a long time without seeing anyone come in; she was just preparing to come out to scold them when she saw this scene.
Thinking of the past ten years, seeing her daughter's and son-in-law's smiling faces, the words at her lips were finally swallowed back down.
Turning to look at her newborn grandson who had just opened his eyes on the bed, seeing the child pout as if about to cry, she said: "Guoqing, be good, Grandma is here; let's ignore that pair of unsensible parents."
But she was still a step too late; before she could pick up the child, Qingbao began to cry.
Now the two excited people in the courtyard also reacted and hurriedly ran into the room.
Seeing her daughter reach out to take the child, Fu's mother dodged to the side: "Go wash your hands first before holding him."
Fu Yanwan was not angry; she stuck out her tongue, smiled, and walked toward the washbasin: "Mom, I have less and less status in your heart. Ever since Qingbao was born, you have become more and more impatient with me."
Hearing his wife's words, Ren Jiangfeng's mouth twitched. Ever since the baby was born, his wife always liked to bicker with his mother-in-law; she kept losing but kept fighting, and she was becoming more and more addicted to it. He truly had no way to deal with her.
After drying his hands, he took his son and kissed his forehead hard. Looking at Fu's mother, his face was full of excitement: "Mom, the college entrance examination has been restored. Jiangfeng and I can also register."
But just after saying that, she lowered her head to look at the son in her arms, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
Seeing her expression, Fu's mother spoke: "Enough. The restoration of the college entrance examination is a tremendous good thing. Since there is a chance to participate, do not have so many worries. If it really doesn't work out, I will take Qingbao to the nursery at my workplace."
Fu Yanwan and Ren Jiangfeng looked at each other, feeling somewhat reluctant.
But they also knew that even if they did not take the college entrance examination, after Fu Yanwan finished her maternity leave, Qingbao would probably still have to be taken to the workplace nursery.
