From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

Everyone is a man and woman of marriageable age, and they come to participate in this blind date and marriage. When the shyness is over, someone will take the initiative. There are only so many girls, so the sooner the better. If the first person takes action, there will naturally be a second one.

Although I don't know what other venues are like, Li Chengye's side is still very smooth. It didn't take long for several couples to be formed. Several matchmakers shuttled among the crowd, and their voices were almost hoarse. Fortunately, they prepared throat-clearing tea in advance, otherwise they would definitely be speechless after two hours.

Li Chengye said he came to help today, but he didn't do anything. It was like he was just a decoration there, but this was the best case scenario.

However, there were some incidents along the way. Some girls actually took a fancy to Li Chengye. Unfortunately, he had no intention of getting married and rejected them directly, which made some girls sad. However, there was nothing they could do about it. They could not give others hopeless hope.

Li Chengye left at about 11 o'clock. Afterwards, they had a free exchange. Hu Liren had already withdrawn his hand, so he did not need to stay any longer. Hu Liren was helpless. He did not have time to say a word to Li Chengye before he disappeared.

Time flew by. When Mr. Zhang and his team checked all the machines and equipment in the factory, the selection and assessment of the candidates for the steel factory to go abroad was coming. The exam was divided into two parts. The first part was the Y language exam, which was a 100-point exam, so the questions were not easy. It was said that the questions were set by professionals, but Li Chengye didn't know, as he was one of the candidates.

The other part was the interview, which was said to include some kind of stress resistance test, and also to examine the degree of understanding of the equipment. Of course, these were uncertain news, and Li Chengye didn't ask, nor could he ask, but he was still very confident, after all, he had made preparations.

It was a sunny day on the day of the exam, and Li's mother knew that Li Chengye was going to take the exam today, so she got up very early, and so did the two children.

Li Chengye got up at the usual time, and when he packed up and went out, he saw two little kids standing at his door, and there was the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

Li Chengye looked at the time and felt a little strange. It was only half past six. Since the weather turned cold, the two of them would sleep until eight o'clock before getting up. Why did they get up so early today?

"Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, why did you get up so early?" Touching the palms of the two children, they were a little cold. It seemed that they had been up for a while.

"Dad has to take the exam today. My brother and I will cheer for you!" Xiaoxi smiled and didn't dare to open his mouth when speaking, so the words seemed a little vague.

"Yeah." Xiaobei just nodded, and his little mouth was tightly pursed, without saying anything.

Li Chengye was a little amused. The two children started to change their teeth in the past few days, starting with the front teeth. They are really twins, and they changed their teeth together. The front teeth fell out when they were eating, and Xiaobei's front teeth even fell into the bowl. Xiaoxi's tooth fell out for a while, and he spat it out directly. When Li's mother saw it, she smiled and said that he had changed his teeth, and the upper teeth should be thrown under the bed, otherwise he would not grow new teeth.

Xiaobei didn't notice it at first, and he didn't feel it until he licked the root of his tooth with his tongue for several times. He immediately started crying because he didn't spit out the front teeth, and thought he had swallowed the teeth into his stomach. He couldn't throw the teeth under the bed, otherwise he wouldn't grow teeth in the future.
