"Xiao Nuo, waiter, hold me in your arms. Eat quickly, or you'll get cold in a while," Shen Gongqi said.
"No, just let me hold you," Fang Nuo said.
"Then give me a hug for a while, and I'll give you a hug later," Shen Gongqi said.
Seeing that he insisted on hugging her, Fang Nuo stood up and handed Xiao Er a hug to him.
Shen Gongqi held the baby in his arms until the waiter fell asleep, then took him to the back room to sleep.
They ate the New Year's Eve dinner for a long time. Fortunately, there was a kang in the house, so the food didn't get cold so quickly.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them distributed new year's money to Yaya. Yaya was so happy that she took it and put it under her pillow.
"Mom, after today, I will save the New Year's money for you, and you can give it to me when you grow up, okay?" Little Yaya said proactively
"Okay, I have saved it for you in previous years. When we Yaya become big girls, I will give it to you," Fang Nuo said.
"Yeah, thank you, mom," little Yaya said obediently
"You're welcome"
After Shen Gongqi cleared the dining table, Fang Nuo took a drawing book and accompanied Yaya to draw on the table.
After a while, Yaya drew a stick figure at the west entrance in her drawing book. She learned this from Brother Goudan.
When they were playing together, they would draw pictures on the ground with branches. Brother Goudan told him that this is how the villain was drawn.
After Yaya finished the painting, she happily pointed at the little figures on it and said, "This is dad, this is mom, and the ones in the middle are Yaya and Xiaoer. We are a happy family."
"We Yaya have learned how to draw a family. Let's show it to daddy." Shen Gongqi heard Yaya's words when he came in and said with a smile.
Yaya stood up, walked to the kang with her masterpiece, and showed it to Shen Gongqi.
Afraid that she would fall, Shen Gongqi held her in his arms first. He sat by the kang, looked at the stick figure drawn by Yaya, and praised her: "Well, it's really beautiful. Our Yaya is really good at drawing."
Fang Nuo watched the two father and daughter talking, with a happy smile on her face.
"Then will Yaya be able to go to school next year?" Little Yaya asked
"Yaya wants to go to school, why?" Shen Gongqi asked
"Because Brother Goudan usually has to go to school and doesn't have time to play with me, so Yaya wants to go to school to play with him," Xiao Yaya said.
"I went to school to study, not to play, but you went to lead me into trouble," Fang Nuo said on the side.
"Then Yaya also wants to study," Yaya said
"But you are still too young now. You have to wait another three years before you can go to school," Fang Nuo said.
It's not that she doesn't want to send her child to school, the main reason is that Yaya is too young and the school in the village is far away. She is afraid that the child will be too young and will not be able to sit still after going to school, or will be bullied by the older children, so she does not agree to send her to school now. of school.
"Is that so, then Yaya will have to be a stupid child for three more years?" Yaya said with some disappointment.
"Who said our Yaya is a stupid kid? Our Yaya is smart," Shen Gongqi said.
"Really? But Erdan and Chunya in the village can read the text and recognize characters, but Yaya can't do anything." Xiaoyaya said while flexing her little fingers.
"Yaya wants to learn these?" Fang Nuo asked
"Yaya wants to"
"Then mom will teach you, okay? We Yaya don't need to envy others. Whatever you want, just tell mom and dad. As long as we can do it, we can give it to you." Fang Nuo sat close to the two father and daughter, pulling He said while holding his daughter's little hand.
"Okay, then mom will be Yaya's teacher from now on. I will definitely be very obedient," little Yaya said happily.
"Brother Qi, let's read more books in the future, and then we will teach our children," Fang Nuo said to Shen Gongqi.
She knew that Shen Gongqi had studied high school courses by himself in the army, but when she thought about the college entrance examination that would resume in 1977, she immediately thought of taking Shen Gongqi to take the college entrance examination together, and they would go to college together.
As for the two children, the Fang family can help take care of them. When they are old enough to go to school, they can be sent to school and Fang's father and others can help pick them up and drop them off.
"I have long forgotten what I learned before. It's up to you, Xiao Nuo, to teach the children," Shen Gongqi said.
"That won't work. We both have to teach the children, so that we can learn some ourselves. With knowledge in our heads, it will be easier to do anything in the future," Fang Nuo said
"But, I have to work every day and don't have time to study." Shen Gongqi tried to convince her that she didn't want to spend any more time studying.
In the past, when he studied, it was because he was uneducated and had difficulties in improving his talents, so he studied.
Unexpectedly, now that he is no longer a soldier, he has returned home to get married and have children, and his wife has to study on her own. He suddenly has a bitter look on his face.
"That won't take you much time. Besides, Brother Qi, do you think the college entrance examination will not be resumed based on the current situation in the country?" Fang Nuo lowered his voice during the sentence.
She really didn't want Shen Gongqi to have to bear the burden of the family's livelihood when she went to school in the future.
She wanted the couple to advance and retreat together, otherwise if she went to college and he didn't, people around him would spread some unpleasant words.
Shen Gongqi is actually very sensitive.
What Fang Nuo was afraid of was that when he heard these rumors, he would think that leaving her was for her own good.
After hearing her words, Shen Gongqi thought for a moment in silence.
He felt that what his wife said was very reasonable. If the country wants to develop, it needs talents in all aspects.
And where do these talents come from? They can only come from schools.
But most of the current university quotas are controlled by others. Who is sent to the school is decided by the leaders everywhere.
Furthermore, it is simply impossible for these workers, peasants, soldiers and college students to come out to repay the country and support development.
Moreover, in today's schools, those capable teachers have been delegated to a very low level. The school is now the most chaotic place, so why do those people have any intention of learning?
Wanting to play with these, he felt that what his wife said made sense.
"Wife, do you want to go to college?" Shen Gongqi asked.
"If I am not thirty years old when the college entrance examination is resumed, then I want to give it a try," Fang Nuo replied.
"Since you have such an idea, daughter-in-law, I support you," Shen Gongqi said.
"Then you listen to me and read more books with me. I hope that we will go to college together and make progress together," Fang Nuo said
"What about the children at home?" Shen Gongqi asked
"You are stupid. Before the college entrance examination is resumed, all those who have been decentralized in the country should be re-examined. If there are no problems, they will be hired back to the city. By then, my family and others should also be able to go back.
By then, the children will be taken by their grandparents, and we will go to school," Fang Nuo said.
"Well, I will listen to you, wife, and take some time every day to read and study with you.
