Soon the Chinese New Year day came, and the three families gathered together. The women were busy in the kitchen, while the men cleaned the house, posted couplets, and took care of the children.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was just starting to get dark outside, and their New Year's Eve dinner was all ready to be put on the table.
Shen Gongqi and Wang Junyu went out to set off firecrackers, and then the three families sat down around the table and began to eat New Year's Eve dinner.
After the New Year, Fang Nuo began to visit the surrounding primary schools, chose a school with a good reputation for Yaya and Xiaoer, and took them to register for the entrance exam.
After the teacher learned that Fang Nuo and his wife were both college students admitted to Beijing University this year, they gave Yaya and the others a lot of points for their admission.
The two of them were successfully admitted to the preschool class of this elementary school. Yaya was in the top class, while the second grader was still a child in the small class who had just entered school for half a year.
After Fang Nuo sent his child to school, he also brought several elders in the family to the school teacher to identify him and make sure there were strangers behind him to pick up the child. They did not know anyone who had taken the child away.
The children's arrangements have been made, and Fang Nuo and Shen Gongqi are about to start school.
Before the school started, Haiyang's family came to Beijing with his mother-in-law. They also sent Doudou to the elementary school where Yaya and the others studied. The other child was still young, so he stayed at home with his mother-in-law.
They were in their first year of college, and the school stipulated that they had to live on campus, so in the next six months, they could only come back to see their children on weekends.
Haiyang's mother-in-law was also a very enthusiastic woman, and she soon chatted with Aunt Dahua and Grandma Fang.
So before they started school, the three of them would often go out shopping together or go to someone's house to do needlework.
When picking up the child, Grandma Fang would call her to join her every day, so that the two of them would have company.
Of course, Grandpa Fang goes with him every time. After all, there are two children. Grandma Fang is older and she is afraid that the children will be naughty and she will not be able to hold them back.
Sometimes Father Fang or Uncle Fang would pick them up, but Fang Nuo and the others reported to school with peace of mind.
All five of them were admitted to Beijing University. Fang Nuo chose literature, Shen Gongqi, Wang Junyu and Haiyang chose economics, and Wang Lijuan studied history.
The five of them signed up and sent the two ladies to their dormitory first, and then the three of them went to their own dormitory.
Fortunately, the three of them were lucky enough to be placed in the same dormitory, so they could keep in touch wherever they went.
After enrolling, the five people began to absorb knowledge crazily. Not only the five of them, but also the people who entered the university this time worked harder than the previous ones.
Fang Nuo's dormitory is a six-person dormitory. There are several people in the same department as her, and they sometimes get together during class.
Because everyone is studying hard, there are a lot of things missing in the dormitory.
After a week of classes, the five of them met and went home together on Friday.
When they got home, they looked different again. Shen Gongqi and the others would go out every day just to see if there was anyone doing business around them.
But every time they went out, they always came back disappointed. Fang Nuo knew the specific time, but she couldn't tell.
Mainly because she couldn't explain how she knew it, so she pretended that she couldn't see their loss and just advised them to study first now. Since the college entrance examination has resumed, it will be a matter of time before self-employment is allowed.
After hearing this, several people settled down and started studying.
A semester soon passed, and in July 1981, another college entrance examination was held. This time, there were still many people taking the college entrance examination.
During the summer vacation, Fang Nuo and the others took their children and family at home to play in the west part of Beijing.
During this period, self-employment was allowed, and Shen Gongqi and the others were as happy as most people.
Uncle Fang also seized the opportunity and quickly started the business he wanted to do.
He opened five stores using the recipe given by Fang Nuo, thinking of giving it a try first and looking at it later.
Although self-employment is allowed, the three Shen Gongqi are still college students and usually spend more time in school. They finally got into the university and don't want other things to affect their studies.
Therefore, in addition to making some small things to sell during their breaks, the three of them worked hard to learn and absorb knowledge during school time.
Two years have passed very quickly, and the outside world has become more and more relaxed about private business. During this period, Shen Gongqi and the three of them would go to other places during their holidays and bring back a lot of clothes and electrical appliances from there. The trains were sold along the road and a lot of money was made.
Fang Nuo kept part of the money, and the rest was used to buy houses or shops as Shen Gongqi said.
Those that can be rented will be rented out, and those that are seriously damaged will be rebuilt while they can still be built, while others will be hired to rebuild them.
After the five of them entered Daxi, Fang Nuo and Wang Lijuan both thought about continuing to study for graduate school or Ph.D.. Anyway, the family is not short of money now, and the children have grown up and been sent to school. There are family members to help with transportation. The two thought It’s better to put the extra time on studying.
In the second half of their junior year, Shen Gongqi and the others started to create a small company outside. At the beginning, there were just three of them.
They first started the business of home appliances. When the three of them went out to sell goods a few years ago, they also met several good manufacturers. Instead of starting a company, they set up shops below and sold goods from these manufacturers first. sell.
By the time they graduated from Daxi, they had already recruited several talented people from school and entered the company's R&D department to start developing new electrical appliances.
Soon their company released new electrical appliances, their small company also expanded a lot, and orders were shipped nationwide.
Fang Nuo wrote a few articles and published them in newspapers in his spare time, and left them unpublished the rest of the time.
After finishing college, she and Wang Lijuan successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination and continued to study at the school.
That day when she returned home and saw Shen Gongqi coming back, she asked, "Brother Qi, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back today?"
"There's nothing going on at the company today, so I just thought we haven't had a meal together for a long time, so I bought some food and I'll cook dinner for you, my wife, in the evening," Shen Gongqi said.
"We are already an old married couple, so we still need these things." Although Fang Nuo said this, he was extremely happy in his heart.
"Why don't you use it? I've been busy these days, and I haven't been with you for a long time. Wife, you don't have other ideas in your mind." Shen Gongqi got up and took him to the sofa in the main room to sit down.
"No, I know you are really busy. Now the company is in an important stage of growth. I can understand it," Fang Nuo said, holding his hand.
"I know that my wife, you are the most considerate. We will have some time to rest later, and I can spend time with you and the children," Shen Gongqi said.
The two sat on the sofa for a while. Shen Gongqi asked her to clean up in the room, and he got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
In the evening, the two children were sent to Fang's father's house. The whole meal was a candlelight dinner for the two of them alone.
