In the blink of an eye, the flowers bloom and fade, and spring passes and autumn comes.
Time comes to the summer of 1982.
The first batch of college students admitted to university in 1977 have basically graduated.
As Su Mingzhe expected, Ma Suqin stayed in school and became a lecturer at Peking University because of her excellent academic performance.
Su Mingzhe rushed to the capital, took Ma Suqin back to his hometown, and obtained an identification letter in Liujiatun. He and Ma Suqin returned to the capital and received a marriage certificate.
After obtaining the certificate, holding the wedding is quite troublesome.
Because it was not convenient for the eldest brother Ma Hongqi and the second brother Ma Hongjun to bring their families over, Su Mingzhe could only take Ma Suqin and travel back and forth to four places to hold the event.
It's okay in Liujiatun, just treat the folks to a banquet.
Here in the capital, Su Mingzhe spent more than a thousand yuan to hold a grand wedding, and invited many of Ma Suqin's leaders, classmates, and colleagues to attend.
Later, Su Mingzhe accompanied Ma Suqin to Hunan Province, took his second brother and his family to Bashu, and held another show at the eldest brother's house in Bashu.
The wedding is over.
The second brother's family returned to Hunan Province.
Su Mingzhe took Ma Suqin around, it was considered a honeymoon trip.
End of August.
The two returned to the capital.
Since there was no need to rush back to school, Su Mingzhe spent more than a month in the newlywed life with Ma Suqin in the capital.
After the National Day, he did not return to Jinling City, but went to Xiangjiang.
After graduating from college, both Su Mingzhe and Wen Qingxue worked at the Jinling Daily newspaper.
In fact, the two of them are 'freelance writers' and just stay at home most of the time.
Su Mingzhe told Ma Suqin that after graduating from university, he went to Xiangjiang for further study.
This time, he flew to Xiangjiang. In addition to creating the illusion of further study, the most important thing was to get a Xiangjiang ID card so that he could come back and marry Wen Qingxue.
November.
Su Mingzhe finally returned to Jinling after an absence of more than four months.
At this time, Wen Ju'an was already in the second grade of junior high school, and was attending a key middle school in the city.
Qiao Erqiang went to an ordinary junior high school because of his poor grades.
Because they are not in the same school and there are differences between men and women, Qiao Erqiang no longer dares to come and play with Wen Juan.
Qiao Sanli and Simei still come here often.
Qiao Sanli is in fifth grade and Simei is in third grade.
Under Wen Ju'an's guidance, the two sisters achieved good academic performance and are expected to be admitted to Wen Ju'an's key middle school.
This day.
When Su Mingzhe returned to Jinling, he saw Wen Ju'an and his two sisters sitting obediently in the living room doing homework.
Jiangsu province’s college entrance examination scores have always ranked first in the country.
There were reports in later generations that students from the four provinces of Shanhe had to go to school from five to nine every day.
These people don't know that if students in Jiangsu province want to get into a good university, they not only need to work from five to nine, but also from five to ten, or even until eleven.
I complimented the three girls.
Su Mingzhe once again took out some snacks from his suitcase, divided them among the three girls, and then went back to his bedroom to sort out his manuscript.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the wooden door.
Su Mingzhe turned around and saw Qiao Sanli, who was already a bit charming, standing at the door and whispered to Su Mingzhe:
"Uncle Su, can I ask you a favor?"
"What's going on, Sanli?"
Su Mingzhe looked at the cute and well-behaved Qiao Sanli, with a friendly smile on his face as always.
Perhaps it was the man's amiable image in the past that gave Qiao Sanli some courage. Now when facing the man alone, the girl could boldly say:
"Uncle Su, I would like to ask you to help me hold a parent-teacher meeting, can you?"
Qiao Sanli said, with a hint of shyness and expectation on her face.
As a child of the Qiao family, Qiao Sanli attended primary school for four years. Her eldest brother Qiao Yicheng always helped her hold parent-teacher conferences.
Her biological father, Qiao Zuwang, was simply not a human being.
In addition to the living expenses of ten yuan for my family every month, well, it is now fifteen yuan for living expenses.
Apart from giving the eldest son fifteen yuan a month as living expenses and asking his eldest son to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Zuwang paid no attention to the children's other conditions and simply raised them as free-range poultry.
Compared with Qiao Zuwang, his biological father, Su Mingzhe, as Wen Ju'an's stepfather, is hundreds or tens of thousands of times stronger.
Qiao Sanli came to Su's house every day and was particularly envious of Wen Ju'an for having a loving and caring 'stepfather'.
At this moment, I also took advantage of the opportunity to speak out the thoughts I had buried in my heart for many years.
"Have a parent-teacher meeting?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the girl's request, his expression immediately became unnatural.
Naturally, he wanted Qiao Sanli to call him 'Dad'.
It's just that the 'father' he thinks about is definitely not the same as the 'father' Qiao Sanli thinks about.
Thinking of the dirty thoughts he often fantasized about Qiao Sanli, Su Mingzhe didn't know for a moment whether he should agree to Qiao Sanli's request.
After thinking for a while, Su Mingzhe gritted his teeth and said:
"Sanli, I just came back from a business trip and I have a lot of work. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient these days! If it's inconvenient for your family, I can ask your Aunt Wen to accompany you, okay?"
When Qiao Sanli heard that she was rejected, her expression froze, and a hint of loneliness flashed through her big clear eyes.
However, after the man agreed to let Wen Qingxue accompany him, the girl calmed down her emotions well, thanked him with a smile, and then turned around and left silently.
In the evening, Wen Qingxue came back and Su Mingzhe told her the story.
Wen Qingxue agreed without thinking too much.
In the past few years, Qiao Sanli often came to Su's house, and Wen Qingxue did not treat Qiao Sanli and Simei as outsiders.
Turn around.
Wen Qingxue accompanied Qiao Sanli to the school for a parent-teacher meeting.
More than a month has passed.
New Year's Eve.
Su Mingzhe used Xiangjiang's ID card to accompany Wen Qingxue to get the marriage certificate.
Wen Qingxue has long said that she will give birth to a child for the man after they graduate.
After receiving the certificate, Wen Qingxue immediately put away the family planning supplies.
After feeling comfortable, Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered something and reminded the woman:
"Qingxue, if you get pregnant after the Chinese New Year and you happen to be in your third year of junior high school, will this affect the child? How about we delay the decision to have a child for a year?"
"No, I want it now!"
Wen Qingxue didn't care about that much. She directly pulled the man and asked him to continue working while saying forcefully:
"In terms of time to obtain the certificate, I am already behind that teacher Ma of yours. I must not let her take advantage of the pregnancy again!"
"What kind of opportunity is this?"
Su Mingzhe felt that women's jealousy was a bit ridiculous.
It's just a matter of giving birth to a child, it doesn't mean that she won't be allowed to have one.
His reminder just now was purely out of fear of affecting Wen Ju'an's high school entrance examination and had absolutely no other meaning.
"I don't care!"
Wen Qingxue didn't listen to the man at all and urged him to hurry up.
Seeing that the woman refused to listen, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to let her go.
