Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

In life, people around you come and go, and in the end there will be nothing left to accompany you.

Shen Yao was very open-minded about this kind of thing, and in her heart she wished that Zhao Yueyue and Cheng Shuang could get what they wanted and focus on their own lives.

……

"I'm going to send two kids to school again."

"Yes, I'm going to college in a couple of days, and I want to spend more time with my two children."

"Oh, there's a new college student in our college. People will envy us if we tell them about it."

"Why are you envious? When your aunt's children grow up, they will also be college students."

"I'll take your advice. We don't ask them to become college students, but to get into a technical secondary school. As long as they have books to study, that's enough."

"..."

Conversations like the one above occur almost every day when Shen Yao is at home.

The weather is getting colder, and the start of school at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is getting closer.

After getting approval from the cannery, Shen Yao ended her daily workday early.

After resting at home for more than half a month, Shen Yao not only packed her bedding and simple clothes to take to the hotel, but also prepared for university courses in advance.

All of my grandfather's books on traditional Chinese medicine were packed up and sent over by Grandma Zhou.

Shen Yao smuggled contraband into the store with justification, without worrying about being discovered.

China's traditional Chinese medicine culture has a long history. No one dares to guarantee that he is omniscient and omnipotent. Everyone holds the mentality of living and learning.

When Shen Yao enters university, she will have more opportunities to use spiritual plants from the world of cultivation.

slam-la-

The thick brick book in her hand was flipping through quickly. Shen Yao memorized the medicinal properties of these herbs in her mind, while also comparing them with some spiritual plants in the world of cultivation.

If she finds something with similar effects, Shen Yao will secretly write it down and cultivate it in the future.

After all, the problem of thin spiritual energy also needs to be considered. Some spiritual plants require extremely high environmental requirements and Shen Yao may not be able to produce them in his entire life.

But some ordinary spiritual plants may be taken out and integrated into this world to become new herbs.

In September, major universities in Beijing started to open one after another, including Beijing University of Chinese Medicine where Shen Yao was studying.

For Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who were in primary school but had not started school yet, this time was very exciting and they were looking forward to sending their mother to college.

"Do you really want to go? You can't complain or say you're tired."

It’s not close from Fengshou Hutong to Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they have to carry Shen Yao’s luggage, so taking the bus is not as convenient as riding a bicycle.

Although children are very curious, they also lack patience.

Shen Yao looked at the sun hanging high above her head and thought that on such a sunny day, even an adult might not be able to stand walking for half a day, let alone two children?

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan nodded their heads, looking as if they could hold on and make Shen Yao give up.

Okay, since you want to suffer, let's go~

Xie Ci'an and Shen Yao each rode a bicycle, with their luggage tied to the back seat and two children sitting on the front crossbar.

As the bicycle started moving, a breeze blew past my face.

The wind is slightly warm, and those who blow it feel excited.

Going to college, just thinking about it makes it hard to calm down.

Shen Yao was in good spirits and remained calm even after entering university.

Instead, there were all kinds of students passing by, some were crying quietly, some were laughing loudly, some were chatting with others, and some were working silently.

The various aspects of human life and the myriad scenes are vividly displayed in a small university campus.

Shen Yao is a student at the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After registration, she went directly to the dormitory building.

It was an ordinary six-person dormitory, and it was not full yet when Shen Yao came in.

Choosing a lower bunk bed near the window, Xie Ci'an carefully packed his luggage and made the bed, while Shen Yao picked up her newly bought basin and took the two children to the water room to fetch water.

The family of four carefully tidied up Shen Yao's bed and went to the cafeteria which was already open for dinner.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were very disappointed. The food here was not as delicious as at home.

But the two children knew that college was not the place for them to throw tantrums.

After finishing the food obediently, Shen Yao took them around the school.

After all, it is a university of traditional Chinese medicine, and the environment on campus is very good.

The trees are quiet and the grass is lush.

"Come on, sit down and rest your feet. You will go back with your father in a while."

Shen Yao is a freshman. The school stipulates that she is not allowed to move out of the campus in the first semester, but it can be allowed later depending on the situation.

Shen Yao plans to live in school first, and will definitely consider moving out if possible.

Moreover, there are many schools around the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When Xie Ci'an goes to school next year, they can rent or buy a house nearby to settle down.

But these are things for next year. For the time being, Shen Yao can only live on campus on weekdays and ride a bicycle home on weekends.

The two little guys Tuantuan and Yuanyuan wailed, then twisted themselves on top of Shen Yao and refused to get up.

They couldn't bear to leave their mother, and it would take several days for them to see her when they return home this time.

"If you behave well, Daddy can bring you to see Mom."

Xie Ci'an painted a big picture for his two children. Compared to Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan who were busy after school started, Xie Ci'an, a worker in a machinery factory, had time to come over.

It only takes more than half an hour to go back and forth by bike. Xie Ci'an is not busy at work, so he can come and see his wife at any time.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are smart and can see through their father's sinister intentions at a glance.

Shaking their heads to reject their father's empty promises, the two children also echoed each other, saying that children should not be bullied just because they are young.

Xie Ci’an:…

Shen Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, hugged Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan for a while, and promised that she would go back when she had time.

The family of four spent nearly a day strolling around the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Only when the sun was setting did Xie Ci'an reluctantly leave with his two children.

Shen Yao sent him to the university gate and returned to the dormitory only after he had left.

There are many female students in the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine where Shen Yao is studying, but due to the school's allocation issue, her dormitory is not entirely occupied by students from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Two of them study acupuncture and massage, and two study clinical medicine.

Moreover, there are relatively large differences in the ages of students.

Shen Yao felt that she was not young at the age of 27, but there were people in the dormitory who were 30 years old.

The youngest is 22 years old. Some students who graduated from high school in the past two years have successfully been admitted to university, but from what Shen Yao has observed so far, this is not common.

嘶

The six people in the dormitory introduced themselves to each other during dinner.

I didn't find anything weird, they were just normal people and seemed like we could get along with each other.

"Xiao Shen, was it your wife and two children who brought you here this morning?

Oh, you look so young, you don’t even look like you’ve had a baby.”

The eldest sister in the dormitory, Xu Huixin, who is already 30 years old, expressed her feelings.

She slept on the bed directly opposite Shen Yao, with a table between them, giving each of them half a table.

It's a six-person dormitory, with three horizontal tables in the middle, one for each of the two people as soon as they come in.

Shen Yao smiled and said, "Sister Xu, you are also young. It is not easy for everyone to have this opportunity to come to school."

All six people in the dormitory are married. Except for 22-year-old Lu Yi who has no children, every household in the rest of them has a child.

For example, Xu Huixin has three children in her family and her hometown is not Beijing. It was really a difficult task for her to go to school here.

"Yes, we are lucky to be able to come out. There are many people who have not passed the exam, or even those who passed the exam cannot come out."

"Well, every family has its own problems. Everyone should cherish the opportunity and don't let yourself down."

"..."

The topic got out of control here. Although everyone was not familiar with each other, they could understand each other's hard work in persevering all these years.

Starting from Xu Huixin and ending with Lu Yi, the six people talked about their own situations over the years and sighed about the stories they had seen.

Shen Yao was completely shocked by the gossip brought up by her roommates.

Compared to things like people taking exams for others, people tearing up admission letters by hand, forced buying and selling, and people marrying in exchange for wives, the things that happened in their school were just minor incidents.

The lights in the dormitory were turned off and everyone fell asleep in the dark night.

Shen Yao didn't sleep well that night, as she was not used to being away from home.

In addition, some people get up to wash outside before dawn, and the sound insulation is very poor, so light sleepers will be woken up.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao wiped her face with a grim look, then quietly went downstairs to get dressed.

He took the thermos and basin and went to the washroom outside to clean himself up. When Shen Yao came back, all five people in the dormitory were up.

“It’s been more than ten years, and everyone’s enthusiasm for learning won’t decrease anytime soon.”

Shen Yao and Xu Huixin are from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they are in the same department.

The two of them finished their breakfast together and then went to class.

It is not a formal class because it is not yet time for class. Students from the same department just meet and get to know each other first, and then elect a class monitor and other responsible persons to facilitate class management.

Neither Shen Yao nor Xu Huixin were the type to join in on the fun.

When people arrive, they just serve as background boards, and they laugh along when they see others recommending themselves.

The students in Shen Yao's department are generally not very young. So compared to the bustle of other colleges, theirs is relatively quiet.

Time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yao has been studying at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for almost two months.

From Monday to Friday I am busy with classes and go to the library to ask teachers for advice. On Saturdays and Sundays I go home to spend time with my two children and don't forget to show up at the cannery.

Although Shen Yao is now on leave from the cannery, some things cannot be measured by money, and the many benefits of the cannery are inseparable from Shen Yao's promotion.

Moreover, in November, a new round of enthusiasm was triggered in Beijing due to the distribution of land to households in Xiaogang Village in another province.

"This also shows that the country is making positive adjustments, which will definitely do more good than harm in the long run."

Shen Yao and Gu Wenshu were sitting in the cafeteria chatting. They had been partners in Workshop 5 for several years and had a very good relationship.

Gu Wenshu even had the vague idea of ​​handing over his position to Shen Yao after he retired.

But those things are still too far away. Shen Yao doesn’t know what her future will be like, so she can only do her best.

Gu Wenshu nodded, "The country needs development."

Shen Yao agreed that everyone would be proud of a country that could surpass other countries' centuries of development in just a few decades.

After returning home from the cannery, Shen Yao and Xie Ci'an talked about the current situation in the country.

Everything is moving in the right direction. Even the news about colleges and universities recruiting students for higher education has been fully announced. Now Xie Ci'an only needs to prepare for next year's exams.

As for the house, "I've already asked someone. If it's not urgent, I can just decide before school starts next year."

Xie Ci'an hugged Shen Yao and talked about some recent events in Fengshou Hutong.

Young people who had gone to the countryside began to return home one after another. Once there were too many of them, it would be difficult to maintain social stability.

His brows were furrowed and then relaxed, "There has been no problem yet, but there are more and more people coming," it will be a big bomb sooner or later.

Of course Shen Yao understood Xie Ci'an's worries, but they couldn't worry about such things.

“I can only ask my mom and the others to be careful and not go out for the time being if possible.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If there is anything, let’s wait until after the New Year to discuss it.”

Although there may not be any improvement after the New Year, this is a social event after all.

There aren’t that many jobs in the city, and the cost of living in the city is also high.

The combination of various causes and effects will further promote the future development of personal business.

People have to eat to make a living, who would want to go hungry?

Turning around, Shen Yao whispered the matter to Tian Na, and Tian Na agreed very happily.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it in mind. I'll take care of Tuantuanyuan more during this period."

The sensitivity of the older generation is not just talk. Tian Na understands much more than Shen Yao and Xie Ci'an.

During the entire Chinese New Year period, the Xie family kept a low profile and lived peacefully in the courtyard.

……

When the time came to 1981, the entire Beijing city was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

"Yaoyao, you and Anzi are here, that's great. I have something to say. Come sit over here and listen."

Tian Na waved her hand, and the main courtyard hall was crowded with people of all ages from the Xie family.

Tian Na also called back Xie Laoer's family of four who lived in a tube-shaped building.

Shen Yao looked at the scene in front of her and thought that what her mother-in-law was talking about must be no small matter.

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Na opened her mouth, it was like throwing a bomb into the water, which exploded with a bang.

Xie Aidang was surprised, "Mom, you're going to the south?"

Xie Aimin was puzzled. "What's there to see in the south? There are too many people and it's dangerous."

Wu Zhaodi's eyes lit up, "Mom, why don't you take me with you?"

Wang Yanyan followed suit and said, "I heard that the south is developing well, especially Guangshi. The new clothing materials are very fashionable."

Xie Ci'an and Shen Yao: ...

Tian Na waved her hand and said a few words, then explained that she was just there to investigate.

"Not only me, but also my in-laws' grandmother, we will go together.

Oh, by the way, your dad and the others are with you, so you don’t have to worry about safety.”

After Tian Na finished speaking, the first person to react was Shen Yao, because the grandmother-in-law she was referring to was Grandma Zhou.

"Mom, we have just started reform and opening up, and the south is unstable. You can go and investigate, but some things still need to be stabilized. Let's take it slow."

Afraid that her mother-in-law might take too big a step and pull her, Shen Yao quickly spoke to persuade her.

Not only Shen Yao, but others also followed suit, and Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan stopped adding fuel to the fire.

Tian Na said, "Don't worry, we are just doing an inspection or something, a trip."

Anyway, it's a very fashionable word, and it was said by Grandma Zhou. Grandma Zhou also gave herself a popular curly hairstyle, which became popular in the entire Fengshou Hutong, and many aunts and sisters couldn't help but follow the trend.

Shen Yao has seen a lot of hair styles like the Golden Lion King recently, all of which were started by her grandmother. (No offense, my family also had that perm, and it does look a bit like the Golden Lion King.)
