On the day they got their marriage certificate, they had four babies in one pregnancy. What happened

"Who is it?"

Fu Yao put on his cotton-padded coat and walked out quickly.

Outside, Granny Wang was pulling a young man along, looking at Fu Yao with a fawning expression.

"Oh! It's Comrade Fu who opened the door. Isn't Xiao Zhang here?"

Granny Wang glanced guiltily into the courtyard.

She and Zhang Ma had a big fight three years ago because of Fu Yao's pregnancy, and they haven't spoken to each other since.

If you see them outside, you can't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

This was also her first time visiting Fu Yao's home.

Fu Yao didn't have much of an impression of her, but he knew that this old woman had talked a lot about their family outside.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao's expression turned calm. He tightened his grip on the door slightly, blocking Wang Pozi's probing gaze.

Granny Wang rubbed her hands together and chuckled twice. She was about to take Fu Yao's hand to try and get closer to him when Fu Yao nimbly dodged her.

"Zhang Ma is asleep. Is there something you need from her?" Fu Yao asked in a calm tone.

The woman had snow-white skin, a beautiful face, and a subtle fragrance emanated from her every move.

Granny Wang was met with a rebuff, but she wasn't angry. She simply pushed the boy next to her in front of Fu Yao.

"Comrade Fu, I'm not here to see Xiao Zhang, I'm here to see you!"

Fu Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at the blushing boy in front of him, somewhat puzzled.

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, yes, I heard from them that you have high school books here. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and I'd like my grandson to study with you for a few days."

As Wang Pozi spoke, she glanced greedily at the smoke rising from Fu Yao's house.

It's only early December, and this young woman is already burning charcoal all day long, with her eldest grandson following along, so he's definitely keeping warm.

And those books and practice questions are so expensive, and the bookstores don't even sell them. I might as well just tag along with this young woman and get some. Anyway, her eldest grandson is so smart, he'll definitely get into university.

Wang Pozi was having a wonderful idea when she saw Fu Yao shake his head.

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient at home."

Fu Yao's voice turned cold as he listened to Wang Pozi's matter-of-fact words.

"It's inconvenient! Why is it inconvenient?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Pozi raised her voice.

"There's no reason why, it's just inconvenient!"

Seeing Fu Yao's impatience, Granny Wang's grandson awkwardly tugged at her sleeve.

But Granny Wang was used to being domineering in the family compound. She slapped her grandson's hand away and argued loudly with Fu Yao.

"Your husband is my son's boss. Now that his subordinate's family is in trouble, you, as his wife, aren't you going to help?! How can you be such a person?"

"What a waste of all my praise! They said you were a good person, but I think they were just seduced by your vixen-like looks!"

Granny Wang stood with her hands on her hips and began to curse at Fu Yao.

Fu Yao pursed his lips, his anger rising.

"If your family is really so short of money that you can't even afford a book, I'll immediately have Cheng Ji organize a school-wide donation drive for you."

"You! Vixen, you slut, what did you say?"

When Granny Wang heard Fu Yao speak so disparagingly of her family, she was so angry that her hair stood on end.

"Grandma!" Wang Pozi's grandson was anxious and quickly bent down to apologize to Fu Yao.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Fu, my grandmother's language is too vulgar."

"Xiao Ming, what did you say? You've been seduced by this vixen too?"

Granny Wang had slanted, upturned eyes and a voice that was deafeningly loud.

"Old Wang! Are you trying to recite the Little Red Book again? I'm going to report you to the neighborhood committee for promoting feudal superstition."

Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Fu Yao no longer held back.

"You...you..."

Upon hearing the words "feudal superstition," Granny Wang fell silent. She stammered for a long time without managing to utter a coherent explanation.

"We live in the same residential compound. It's a favor if I lend you a book, but it's my right not to."

Fu Yao glanced at Wang Pozi's grandson, and without paying attention to the other party's embarrassed look, he closed the door directly.

Inside the house, Zhang Ma and Wu Sao had already gotten up after hearing the commotion.

Seeing Fu Yao storm into the house, he quickly asked what had happened.

"Xiao Yao, what's wrong? Who did you argue with?" Aunt Zhang asked, puzzled.

"It's that old hag Wang again!"

Fu Yao held his breath and told the two of them what Granny Wang had just said.

"She just wanted to take advantage. When the college entrance exam news was first released, everyone went to the bookstore to buy books, but she refused to go, saying that the government would provide them."

"Now that there are no books left, they start eyeing other people's books."

Aunt Wu added incisively from the side.

"Pah! She's shameless. Xiao Yao, don't get angry at yourself. She's just deliberately trying to upset you, to make you angry so you can't concentrate on your studies."

"You better study hard, and I'll go and tear that stinking mouth of hers off."

Aunt Zhang patted Fu Yao's hand reassuringly, then grabbed the broom by the door and ran out.

Aunt Wu carefully brewed Fu Yao a cup of red date and goji berry water.

"Red dates replenish qi and blood, and goji berries improve eyesight. Eat more of these; you've lost weight lately from exhaustion."

"good!"

With the care and concern of his two elders at home, Fu Yao's anger gradually dissipated.

After mentioning it to Cheng Ji that evening, she immediately plunged back into her studies.

A week flew by, and before we knew it, it was time for the college entrance examination.

That day, Cheng Ji got up very early. Just as dawn was breaking, he bought the first batch of fried dough sticks from the state-run canteen and then went to the kitchen to fry two eggs himself.

"Here, have a fried dough stick and two fried eggs. May you get full marks in every subject."

Cheng Ji wore a hearty smile.

Fu Yao had just finished dressing and walked out of the bedroom when he saw the smile on Cheng Ji's face and his lips curved into a smile.

"Thank you, Aji!"

"No need to thank me, eat up, I'll take you there later."

Cheng Ji raised her hand and squeezed Fu Yao's slender little hand. During this period, Fu Yao studied day and night, and the little bit of weight she had painstakingly gained over the past two years was all gone again.

Cheng Ji was quite disappointed by this and was determined to make it up to Fu Yao properly after she finished her exams.

Fu Yao hummed in agreement and ate all the breakfast that Cheng Ji had bought.

The quadruplets were still asleep. She went into the room to take a sneak peek, then left the room.

She was lucky; the exam center was just across the street from the family compound. According to Zhang Ma, many rural students and educated youth had to rush here before dawn. Those from even further away had to stay overnight at the guesthouse a day in advance.

"Wear more clothes. You'll be sitting for so long during the exam, and your seat is right by the door, you'll definitely be cold. Make sure you wear your hat and scarf, okay?"

Cheng Ji personally checked Fu Yao's pencil case and ID, and seeing that her clothes were slightly loose, he quickly gave her some instructions.

"Okay, I understand."

Fu Yao tilted his head back, enjoying Cheng Ji's meticulous care.

The weather was perfect, with not a cloud in the sky. Fu Yao looked up at the azure sky and took a deep breath.

She sat on the back of the bicycle, wearing a small leather hat and a scarf, burying her head in the man's back, sheltered from the wind.

"Comrade Fu Yao, cheer up! You must believe that your efforts during this time will definitely pay off. Keep going! The children and I are waiting for you to come back!"

At the entrance of the examination center, Cheng Ji put his arm around Fu Yao's shoulder and said loudly.

"Okay! Keep it up!"

Seeing Cheng Ji's energetic appearance, Fu Yao nodded with a bright smile.
