Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
"Xiaoqian, your mother is right!"
Wang Xiaoqian's father also arrived at the bedroom doorway, joining in to persuade and comfort her:
"Wang Xiaohua and that woman, although they're married, it's a long-distance relationship, it definitely won't last long!"
Yet Wang Xiaoqian still cried:
"They're already juniors, next year they'll be seniors and graduate, they'll definitely stay together! Who knows, once they graduate they might even plan to have a baby!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqian's mother and father both didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Xiaoqian's mother nudged Wang Xiaoqian's father, signaling for him to do the persuading.
Wang Xiaoqian's father thought for a bit, then said:
"Don't let your imagination run wild, Wang Xiaohua will definitely take the postgraduate entrance exam, and I bet his wife will also pursue graduate studies, so anyway you still have plenty of opportunity. Dad and Mom don't oppose you pursuing Wang Xiaohua, but you mustn't give up on yourself. Think about it — which other parents would possibly support you harboring this kind of idea? You mustn't betray Dad and Mom's trust in you, we believe you can definitely do it! Anyway, just bravely pursue him, don't overthink it, and then not make any effort to pursue and just shrink back. If it's really like that, Dad and Mom will look down on you!"
"Anyway, just bravely pursue him……"
Wang Xiaoqian stopped crying, muttering as she repeated her dad's this sentence once.
She felt it was very right!
Pursuing true love and happiness is every person's most basic right!
How could she, because of a little setback and obstacle, easily shrink back?
At this moment Mother's voice came from outside again:
"Xiaoqian, don't think so much right now, just bury your head in your studies, work hard to test into a good university on the Beijing side, when that time comes you'll definitely get the result you want!"
Wang Xiaoqian wiped the tears from her cheeks, she stood up and came out to open the door, saying:
"Dad, Mom, I know now, I'll definitely study even harder from now on!"
Wang Xiaoqian's parents, hearing her say this, only then secretly let out a breath of relief.
And on the other side, Shanggou Village.
Ever since finishing lunch, Li Jianjia had been somewhat listless and unhappy.
"That Wang Xiaoqian really, she's not even your relative, why did she have to come running over here during Spring Festival?"
Wang Xiaohua couldn't help laughing:
"What, you're eating vinegar? She's just a high school little sister!"
But Li Jianjia said:
"Today's high school students are all precocious, not like our time when we were so pure, only knew studying, who would have crooked thoughts to fall in love."
Then she also said:
"The way Wang Xiaoqian looks at you pulls silk, don't think I don't know what she's thinking in her heart!"
Wang Xiaohua dry-laughed, he had also seen through Wang Xiaoqian's little thoughts.
But he could only pretend not to know, comforting Li Jianjia:
"Don't think so much, you and I are already married, could it be you're still afraid she'll snatch me away?"
Then he self-mockingly added:
"Besides, with this sorry look of mine, what little girl would like me? Today's little girls, whether it's secret crushes or chasing stars, they're all for those tall handsome hunks. Someone with an image like mine, not being disliked would be burning high incense!"
Li Jianjia instead countered with a question:
"What if she doesn't dislike you, would you not refuse?"
The angle she found for this question could be called extremely tricky.
Wang Xiaohua was scared a jump.
He could only hurriedly declare his stance:
"If she really comes to pursue me, I'll definitely clearly refuse. Do I look like the kind of person who'd have a foot on two boats? Don't think so much, even if I let down anyone, I could never let you down! I've already registered marriage with you, could it be you still don't know my heart?"
After Wang Xiaohua's round of patient comforting, Li Jianjia's inner worry only then reduced a bit.
Ever since she got depression from her family upheaval, she'd become sensitive and suspicious, very prone to wild thoughts. This wasn't the first time Wang Xiaohua had comforted her.
Sometimes Wang Xiaohua in his heart would feel a bit tired, even find it a little funny.
With his external conditions, no matter where placed, no girl would give him a proper look.
How come Li Jianjia instead felt there were many women who'd want to fight her for him.
"I suddenly kind of want to have a baby."
Li Jianjia suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Scared Wang Xiaohua a jump again.
"How come you suddenly have this thought?"
Li Jianjia didn't answer Wang Xiaohua's question, instead fretting to herself:
"But I still have to take the postgraduate entrance exam, still have to attend grad school! And if a baby's born, there's no one to help take care! What to do about this?"
Wang Xiaohua then went along and said:
"That's why I'm saying, let's still not consider having a baby for now, wait until later when we have the conditions to consider."
But Li Jianjia said:
"But I really really want to, what to do? Xiaohua, don't you want a child that belongs to us?"
When saying these words, Li Jianjia seriously looked into Wang Xiaohua's eyes.
Wang Xiaohua didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After a while he said:
"Of course I want to, it's just that the conditions aren't mature yet, right?"
Then he continued to patiently persuade:
"If you get pregnant now, what about your undergraduate thesis, what about the postgraduate entrance examination? Plans made for so long might be disrupted because of this, and we indeed don't have the conditions to raise a child right now. Could it be that after giving birth, we'd throw the kid back to Shanggou Village for my parents to take care of?"
Li Jianjia said:
"That won't do! My child must stay by my side!"
Wang Xiaohua said:
"I also don't want to throw the kid back to Shanggou Village for my parents to take care of. Their thinking is backward. If they take care of the kid, they'll probably just let it run wild like pigs, dogs, or beasts — as long as there's food to eat, that's fine. As for education, how would they know?"
Li Jianjia asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, if they don't know education, how did they cultivate such an outstanding you?"
Wang Xiaohua laughed:
"Genetic mutation!"
Actually he felt his mother did quite well in education. Although she never signed him up for cram classes, and hardly ever tutored his homework, whenever he wanted to learn, his mother would try her best to satisfy him.
He still remembered, when he was in primary school, he had no one to play with, so he liked reading books. But there weren't many books at home. To satisfy this wish of his, his mother went door to door to borrow. Other people's used schoolbooks, all textbooks from first grade to sixth grade, she borrowed a huge pile back.
Wang Xiaohua urged again:
"Let's not think so much for now. This December you have the postgraduate entrance examination. After the results come out, we'll make plans then, okay?"
Generally the postgraduate entrance examination takes place in the first semester of junior year, and after this September, it will be Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia's junior year.
"Alright, alright..."
After Wang Xiaohua's patient persuasion, Li Jianjia finally curbed her wild thoughts, but she still wasn't reassured, and added:
"If Wang Xiaoqian comes to chat with you, you must tell me!"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:
"Rest assured, if she chats with me, I'll report to you at the first moment!"
