On the fifth day after He Tingchuan left, he called the military compound.

It wasn't a public phone booth, but a call from the political commissar's office: "How is my wife these days?"

The political commissar's face turned grim: "You're thinking about your wife when you're on a mission?"

He Tingchuan denied it: "I only thought about it after the mission was completed."

The political commissar was almost pissed off: "I think I understand what those mothers mean when they say, 'When you have a wife, you forget your mother.'"

He Tingchuan: “…”

Ignoring the commissar's ridicule, he refused to give up until he achieved his goal: "How is my wife doing?"

"Don't worry, your wife can eat, sleep and do things, she's fine!" The political commissar said angrily.

He Tingchuan couldn't help but smile. "Okay, I get it. Tell her that the mission is successfully completed. I will start my maternity leave after I finish the things I have on hand. The political commissar knows this."

The political commissar frowned: "You're going to take a break now?"

"Submit a report in advance." He Tingchuan had already calculated the date. By the time the process was completed, his wife would be giving birth soon.

Although I can't take care of her until she's out of confinement, at least I'll be by her side on the day she gives birth.

Every time he saw her worried look, to be honest, He Tingchuan was also a little afraid of having a baby.

I privately inquired about those group leaders who had children and found that these people had no responsibility as husbands. When asked, they said that having children was a woman's business and there was no point in getting anxious.

Some people only find out that their wife has given birth after the child is born.

There are also times when I just stand outside and don't know what I'm doing, but I can stay there for hours and it's exhausting.

He Tingchuan's fists clenched when he heard this.

I don't want to talk to irresponsible men.

Yun Jin learned from the political commissar that He Tingchuan had called back and asked, "Why didn't you let me answer the phone?"

"He hasn't come back yet. You can't call casually before the mission is completely completed. He just wants to ask about your situation. Take good care of yourself and don't let the people on the mission worry." The political commissar said a few words, making sure that Yun Jin was fine, and then left.

After hearing the news about He Tingchuan, Yun Jin felt relieved and went about eating, drinking and having fun.

Yun Jin took advantage of the good weather and asked Li Aimei to help wash, dry and put away the diapers and small clothes that Mrs. Tian made for the baby, so that they wouldn't have to be washed again when needed.

Li Aimei looked at the clean cloth and smiled, "Diapers are cleaner than my face towels. I used to use old clothes."

"When you have children in the future, I will buy you new diapers." Yun Jin was not joking.

Li Aimei was embarrassed: "How can that be? I'm not picky. An old diaper will do."

Yun Jin looked at Li Aimei, who wanted to get married at such a young age, and asked, "Are you really not going to school?"

Li Aimei shook her head: "My mother said that studying is useless and I can't get into university. I can't get recommended to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I will find a suitable family for me next year. If it is possible, let me get married."

It is indeed impossible to get into university in this era, and the college entrance examination has not been resumed yet!

The only university you could attend was the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. If you weren't outstanding and didn't have a good background, you couldn't get in.

Li Aiguo's background as a battalion commander was not good enough, so Li Aimei had to drop out of school and stay at home, waiting to get married when she was old enough.

"How were your grades in junior high school?" Yun Jin felt it was a pity. After all, she had traveled through time and space in a book. She had already attended university and had her own career before traveling through time and space, so she didn't want to go through university all over again.

She planned to resume her old job after the reform and opening up, follow the trend of the times and start her own business, but now she can only lie dormant.

Li Aimei is different, she can choose her life.

Li Aimei is a good child, and Yun Jin doesn't want to see her being delayed.

It was 75, and when the college entrance examination was resumed in 77, she happened to catch the right time.

It would be fine if he didn’t know about this, but Yun Jin knew about this, so how could he let Li Aimei delay.

"My grades are pretty good. I'm number one in the class." Li Aimei felt a little proud when talking about this.

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. "That's a good grade. It's a shame you don't go to high school. If you're concerned about tuition, I can lend it to you. You can pay me back when you earn money in the future."

It’s not that Yun Jin can’t afford it, it’s not that he’s afraid that Li Aimei will feel embarrassed.

Only if she returns the money she lends it to can she accept my kindness with peace of mind.

Li Aimei's eyes relaxed: "Sister-in-law, lend me money for school?"

Yun Jin nodded.

Li Aimei's mind raced. Her heart was clearly stirred, yet she couldn't help but shake her head. "I'm not going to get into university anyway, so there's no point in going. What's the point of wasting my time? And the tuition fees?"

"Who says it's useless? If you graduate from high school, you are a high school student and a cultured person!" Yun Jin couldn't reveal that the college entrance examination would be resumed in 77. After all, there was no basis for it yet, and she was afraid that others would know about it and make a fuss about it.

Yun Jin didn't want to get himself into trouble.

She could only persuade Li Aimei: "Since you don't have a job now, and your brother won't let you go to the countryside, why not study for two more years while you're still young and get that high school diploma? Wouldn't that be great?"

Seeing her concerns, Yun Jin said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to your mom and your brother. When the child's father comes back, I'll ask him to talk too. He's so outstanding because he went to high school and college."

He Tingchuan is not a reckless man. Because of his status and background, he went to a school for children of wealthy families. Later, he was recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the best military school. He has an unmatched talent for tanks and artillery shells.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be ten years younger than others and become the youngest regimental commander of the artillery.

He is smart and capable, so everyone is convinced by him, instead of relying on his father.

Li Aimei was persuaded.

To be honest, seeing that everyone else in the compound went to school and some people she knew went to high school, she said it was impossible for her not to want to go to school.

Even if there is no university to apply to, I still want to go to high school.

She originally thought there was no hope and had accepted her fate, but who knew that her sister-in-law gave her hope.

Thinking of this, Li Aimei excitedly took off Yunjia's quilt cover and washed it for her. She said that she felt uncomfortable if she was not asked to do some work, and always felt that she had no place to use all her strength.

What could Yun Jin say? Just let her go.

As long as she's happy!

Yun Jin was not just talking. After dinner that day, she and Li Aimei strolled to her house. Li Aiguo also followed them out. Now, only Li Aimei's mother was there with her two younger brothers and sisters. The youngest brother was ten years younger than her and was conceived on the day her father had the accident.

Later, the person died, but the child was still born.

This is also the reason why Li Aimei and others can live in the family compound.

Li Aiguo is the eldest in the family. After he became the battalion commander, his family members could follow the army. Since he was not married, he was specially approved for his mother to bring his younger brothers and sisters. The house was not big, but they could all live there if they squeezed together.

His allowance is enough for his family to live on.

However, if you want to study or something, you don't have that much money.

Mother Li was thinking about her two younger children, who also needed tuition fees. The money she had was not enough for three children to go to school, so she let Li Aimei stop studying after junior high school.

Yun Jin explained her purpose: "Aimei and I get along well. I treat her like a younger sister. Since she's still young, it's okay for her to study more. I can lend her the tuition money. She can pay me back when she gets a job and earns her own money."

Mother Li glared at Li Aimei and said, "How can this be possible? You have to make a living and raise children. Tuition costs a lot a year, plus there are also miscellaneous fees. Over two years, it will still cost a lot of money."

"Besides, even if she graduates, she won't be able to go to university if she doesn't get a recommendation from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. It's better to save the tuition money and buy her a dowry in the future so that she can marry off with honor." This was Mother Li's plan.

Li Aimei was unhappy: "I want to study. Even if I can't go to college, I want to get a high school diploma. Mom, please, let me study. I will borrow money and pay it back myself."

Mother Li didn't say anything.

Encouraged by Yun Jin, Li Aimei said, "When big brother comes back, I'll talk to him. If he agrees, you can't stop me."

Mother Li snorted coldly: "Your eldest brother is not yet qualified to be the head of the family."

Li Aimei was so angry that she started crying and turned around and ran out.
