BTTS 231




Chapter 231. Smoke


Naturally, Lin Qing He won't have any hesitation. She killed a chicken to replenish Da Wa's body. Herself as well.

Even though the college entrance examination was restored, Lin Qing He continued to teach. Therefore nobody knew that she was going to take the college entrance examination.

Even when Lin Qing He took time off to accompany Da Wa to the college entrance examination, everyone thought that she was just accompanying him.


Da Wa was tall, but he was still only a 13-year-old child.

This 13-year-old boy was already 1.75 meters tall, which was half a head taller than Lin Qing He.

Due to Lin Qing He's meticulous care and martial arts training with Zhou Qing Bai, he developed really fast. Saying that he was seventeen or eighteen was believable.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Zhou Qing Bai also came and accompanied the mother and son. They rode two bicycles.

Da Wa had his own bike. Lin Qing He hopped on Zhou Qing Bai's one. They had the exams in the city.

Lin Qing He entered the examination hall with Da Wa, while Zhou Qing Bai was guarding outside.

After entering the school examination hall, Lin Qing He and Da Wa encountered familiar faces.

Chen Shan and the other educated youths. They also saw Lin Qing He and Da Wa.

The sight of the mother and son made their faces turned ugly. It wasn't an exaggeration to say this time the college entrance examination was like thousands of troops having to squeeze through a log bridge.

But unexpectedly, this mother and son were participating too.

This mother and son pair, one was self-taught, and the other was said to be the first in the whole county high school.

Lin Qing He was fine because everyone thought she was only self-taught till junior high school standard. Maybe she came to try her luck. However, Da Wa was the real master of studying.

Chen Shan came over to say hello: "Teacher Lin is also participating in the college entrance examination."

"Yes. Isn't it the same for Teacher Chen?" Lin Qing He replied.

Then she led Da Wa to the examination hall. Basically not talking to the educated youth at all.


What's more, with so many educated youths, only Chen Shan was admitted. She didn't know if anything would change for the others. According to memory, they couldn't pass the exam.

After the test paper was passed out, Lin Qing He first skimmed over it. After that, she was greatly relieved. It wasn't difficult. The knowledge was more comprehensive. The majority of large points area required careful memorization. Basically, whether one knew it or not.

What's more, she tested Da Wa on these. Lin Qing He can do, so can Da Wa.

Therefore, Lin Qing He was very confident. After finishing the exam, she didn't forget to check it carefully. Although she finished writing in advance, Lin Qing He persisted in handing in the paper when the time was up.

When the time was up, Lin Qing He was the first to hand in the paper outright. Behind her were many grumbling students.

Someone with poor mental strength had immediately collapsed on the table and sob after receiving the test papers.

Lin Qing He went directly to the agreed meeting point and waited for Da Wa. After a short while, Da Wa arrived. And with him was Han Xu Jie.

Lin Qing He: "..." It was the college entrance examination, how can she still bump into this one?

"Hello, Auntie." Han Xu Jie greeted politely.

"Hi Xu Jie.." Lin Qing He smiled.

After all the exams were completed, Lin Qing He had Da Wa bid farewell to this young but with a strong sense of justice male lead.

After the exam, it was naturally more relaxed.

Lin Qing He brought Da Wa over to gather some things that she needed to prepare for university, and then returned home.

"Mother, are you sure I can pass the exam?" Da Wa laughed.

"None of these topics are too difficult. You can do the one I usually gave you for revision. Passing the exam is no problem." Lin Qing He sat in the back of Zhou Qing Bai and said.

"Mother, how did you do in the exam?" Da Wa grinned.

"I don't know yet." Lin Qing He shook her head. She estimated that if there were no accidents, every test paper should be about ninety-seven/ninety-eight percent correct.

After returning home, Zhou Qing Bai came over to seek his eldest son in private. It was the same old tune.

Back then, Zhou Qing Bai questioned him out of nowhere. Why did he ask that?

But now Da Wa understood. It turned out to be because of this.

Da Wa thought for a while and answered: "I have one question that I'm not sure about. As for the rest, I'm sure I got it. As for my mother, I guess she can do it all. She's too competent."
Speaking of his own mother, Da Wa was full of admiration.

It was his mother who gave him the key points to review. The test areas were basically the same. Even if there were deviations, they weren't far off.

Therefore, Da Wa believed that his mother is definitely better than him. Her score will be higher than his.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at his eldest son with contempt. Da Wa said, "Father, don't look at me with such a look. I guess in the whole county one may not be able to find another like my mother.

In the eyes of Da Wa, this time the county's first place was definitely his mother.

But his mother was humble. She kept a way out by not say anything. So Da Wa didn't say anything.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know about Lin Qing He participating in the college entrance examination. Well, weren't the educated youths present too?

Therefore, her participation wasn't a secret in the entire production team.

When Father Zhou and Mother Zhou heard this, they were stunned.

Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law came running over.

"Da Wa's mother, did you really take the college entrance examination?" Eldest Sister-in-law and the others asked.

"Yeah. Was bored and had nothing to do. So I went to check it out." Lin Qing He smiled and answered.

"How did you do on the test?" asked Third Sister-in-law.

"I don't know. I just did what I know. As for whether it's right or not, I don't know." Lin Qing He was still quite modest.


After all, she can't talk too big, right?

"If you get admitted, then you will be in the newspaper." Second Sister-in-law admired.


This fourth sister-in-law really did what they were afraid to do. She actually took the college entrance examination that only educated youth students could do.

Can't even find one with so much aspiration within the ten miles and eight villages. What's more, she was born with mud legs, clear background, and had ancestors that were poor peasants for 18 generations.

"A matter without a shadow." Lin Qing He replied with a smile.

The neighbors from all around came to ask questions. Lin Qing He, a.k.a Teacher Lin gained glory.

Regardless of whether she can pass the exam or not, just relying on her knowledge and achievement in a literacy class for a few days was enough to see how motivated she was.

They used to say that she didn't work. It seems that they really misunderstood Teacher Lin.

This was someone who truly desires to learn more knowledge and was able to accept any grievances. This spirit was beyond the reach of many people.

Father Zhou was also delighted. If Fourth's wife can pass the exam, his family will have two college students this time.

This was simply smoke coming from the ancestors.

  1. I had thought that smoke from the ancestor meant that the ancestors were angry ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ Maybe ancestor turning in their graves means they is angry ( ̄∇ ̄")

    1. Thanks Dorai_O! Mistake pointing welcome at any time!
      Only accepted some suggestion.

      Yeah, when I find myself take a double back when typing Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai together at the beginning. I think it's the Lin and the Qing spelling getting to me.

      Kept 'fourth' small letter cause the 'this' was before it.

  4. Я удивлена. Я думала, что мать Чжоу будет против этой идеи. В смысле, кто будет заботиться о четвёртом сыне, пока его жена учится в городе?
