Chapter 20 College Entrance Exam?
Aiyaaa.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and couldn't help wiggling their eyebrows.
Look how Song Wei Ping's face changed.
Someone boldly said, "Xiao Jiao, this Wei Ping had two different expressions toward us and toward you. The change is so fast."
Poker-faced Xu Xiao Jiao hadn't paid attention. Still Song Wei Ping being able to calm down the situation with a single word gave her a sense of security.
She knew that as soon as she answered, the quiet scene would be rowdy again. So she held back her laughter and coughed softly, "Okay, the branch secretary has arrived too. The lecture will begin. This planting technical manual, we will divide it into five classes. The first four classes are all theoretical classes. In the last class, I will take everyone to some fields in our village to explain on the spot. I hope everyone will listen carefully and learn this knowledge well, so that everyone can have a prosperous year. Not only that, you could also apply the knowledge to your own private land. Increasing production isn’t a problem."
This opening grabbed everyone's attention. Originally, everyone thought that it was the same if they didn’t understand or others did. After all, they all went to work together. When Xu Xiao Jiao said this, everyone became focused. That’s right, there was private land. Although there was only one or two fractions of land, they had to grow peanuts on it. If they could earn more, then it was really your own.
"Comrade Xiao Jiao, don't worry. We will definitely listen carefully."
"Yes, yes, yes, Comrade Xiao Jiao. Let's get started."
Zhao Yan Yan pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Xu Xiao Jiao on the stage. Thinking of Song Wei Ping's consideration for Xu Xiao Jiao now, she cast a bitter glance at Han Guang Hui who was sitting next to her.
Unexpectedly, Han Guang Hui was looking at Xu Xiao Jiao with infatuation.
“What are you looking at! Did you forget how you were nearly punched to death by Song Wei Ping?” They had been married for nearly a year. Zhao Yan Yan was no longer crazy in love like the beginning. Seeing Han Guang Hui like this, she hit him hard.
Han Guang Hui frowned, "There are so many people. What are you doing? Yan Yan, don't you see I’m listening to the lecture?"
Han Guang Hui's expression of 'Why are you so ignorant' made Zhao Yan Yan feel even more suffocated.
"Okay, okay, I'll see what kind of training Xu Xiao Jiao can give. What can a person who can't lift a bucket and can’t dig understand about planting techniques?"
Facts have proved that Xu Xiao Jiao was capable. Quite capable.
In Song Wei Ping’s later words, "That day you stood on the stage, shining throughout. So many people below listened attentively. I was thinking-my wife is so amazing."
The commune members sitting below actually listened very seriously. They didn't expect that those of them who have been planting the land all their lives knew less than Xu Xiao Jiao who has never farmed the land. More importantly, what she said was clear and logical. As long as one ponders about it based on their own experience, they will notice that this was really the case. It was just that they haven't discovered it before and haven't applied it.
The village branch secretary was so close to expressing his excitement though hands and feet dancing. He nodded repeatedly and kept affirming.
"Okay, okay, what Comrade Xu Xiao Jiao said is very clear. Everyone can understand it. More importantly, this knowledge is useful. About the knowledge about crop rotation and inter plant that is mentioned today, I think us few production leaders got to quickly hold a discussion the next two days and put the knowledge to use. Comrade Xiao Jiao, you have to continue to guide us."
Xu Xiao Jiao found being a teacher quite enjoyable. She nodded with a smile, "Okay, I am very happy to serve our fellow people."
The village branch secretary was even more delighted, "Look at this enlightenment. Alright. Today, I see that many commune members and comrades didn’t attend. During the next training, everyone got to call each other. Come if there is nothing to do. Once the knowledge is learnt, it’s yours. You won’t suffer.”
Thinking of the detailed planting book compiled by Song Wei Ping for Xu Xiao Jiao, the village branch secretary found the day even more beautiful. The leaders above said that they not only need to spread technology in the village, but also the party secretaries of each village should gather together to explain their own learning. As a result, with that book as the foundation, he believed that he could have face in front of the leader no matter what.
Thinking of this, the branch secretary was full of energy, "Come on, let's applaud Comrade Xu Xiao Jiao. You have worked so hard. This is a great contribution to our entire brigade!"
Amidst the thunderous applause, Zhao Yan Yan slapped the table, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just farming? No matter how well one learns, still a mud leg!"
Her voice wasn’t low. The applause had stopped by the time she said the last sentence.
"Aiya, Yan Yan, you have become an educated youth and now look down on us farming folks. Since you become an educated youth, you don't have to farm?"
"That's right, Yan Yan. It's not me just saying. Don't be unconvinced. Xiao Jiao is better than you. She has the ability and can train everyone."
"Do what training! Han Guang Hui can't even handle it, so let’s not talk about her. Just based on attending school, only she knows what she has learned."
Zhao Yan Yan stood up abruptly, "You guys! You’re bullies!"
"Enough!" Han Guang Hui slapped the table and glared at Zhao Yan Yan, "Speak less. Look at you. You look like a shrew!"
"What? Han Guang Hui, you aren’t human! You call me a shrew? Are you a good thing?"
On the stage, Xu Xiao Jiao was watching Zhao Yan Yan and Han Guang Hui's big show. Then she saw a hand stretched out in front of her, holding a handful of melon seeds on it.
"Wa, Song Wei Ping, you understand me the most." Her voice was quiet but joyful. With a satisfied look on her face, she nibbled on the melon seeds. Without any entertainment in her mouth, she kept feeling that something was missing.
Hearing everyone criticizing Zhao Yan Yan one after another, Xu Xiao Jiao nodded and whispered to Song Wei Ping, "That's right. She used to be a farming folk and still look down on farmers. I really don't understand. What's wrong with farming?"
"What about you?" Song Wei Ping asked her.
Xu Xiao Jiao knew that the time for her to show her loyalty had come again. She immediately put on a firm look, "Of course I like it. Although I'm a little lazy and don't want to move, I'm willing to farm with you and follow you. Whether it's simple food or rare delicacies, I'm happy. Anyway, you will raise me, right?"
Song Wei Ping passed her honey water and signaled her to take a sip. He nodded, "En."
Xu Xiao Jiao grinned and responded to him in her heart- don't worry, Song Wei Ping, from next year onwards, you will not be who you are now. Rare delicacies aren’t a dream. Let raising me alone, even ten me is more than enough.
She listened to everyone below who started arguing about study again.
One stated that it was useless to learn planting techniques. They were still muddy legs.
Another said that as long as it was knowledge, it was useful. There was no distinction between high and low knowledge. Learning was useful.
Xu Xiao Jiao's thoughts began to drift away. Why was studying so useless? This year, how many people changed their destiny because of knowledge. This year, how many students took off.
Sure enough, in the season when the summer heat faded away and autumn began to get stronger, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination gradually spread along the radio, newspapers, and word of mouth.
Numerous educated youths went wild. The educated youths in Meilin Village were also delighted.
"Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao! Are you at home?"
Xu Xiao Jiao was tidying things at home when she heard Zhou Ping Xiang's voice.
The voice contained rare excitement.
She responded and saw Zhou Ping Xiang rushing into the house in a hurry, "Xiao Jiao! The college entrance examination is open. As long as we are admitted to college, we could go to college and return to the city later!"
She knew that this day would come. Still when looking at Zhou Ping Xiang's excited face and recalling how countless people were celebrating,, Xu Xiao Jiao reminisced how a policy could really change the fate of countless people.
"Ping Xiang, you should take the college entrance examination." Xu Xiao Jiao cheerfully told her, "You will definitely be able to pass the college entrance examination."
Zhou Ping Xiang didn't respond to this and instead asked her, "Is Song Wei Ping at home?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Not here. He went out with the transportation team. He should be back soon after a couple of days. What's the matter? Aren’t we talking about the college entrance examination?"
Zhou Ping Xiang held her hand, "Yes, the college entrance examination. Xiao Jiao, I will definitely take the college entrance examination. Over the past year, you have helped me study so much. I will definitely give it a try. I am here today to ask you. What about you?"
"Me?" Xu Xiao Jiao pointed to herself.
Zhou Ping Xiang nodded, "Yes, you."
It happened that Song Wei Ping wasn’t at home. She was afraid that Song Wei Ping would stop her from talking about it. So she pulled Xu Xiao Jiao to sit down and persuade her.
At this time, in the town, Li San Tie looked at the paper bag in Song Wei Ping's hand and sighed, "You boy, aren’t you being foolish? People wish they could stop them. While you? You even bought her books. Aren’t you afraid?”
Since they heard about the continuation of the college entrance examination on this trip, they witnessed many things. Some educated youths, who were going to marry local commune members, immediately reneged on their engagement when they heard the news. Some educated youths, who had already married and had children in the local area, were locked up by family members after hearing the news.
It was the first for Li San Tie to see someone like Song Wei Ping who wasn’t anxious and was even silly enough to buy college entrance examination books for her educated youth wife.
Seeing that Song Wei Ping didn't speak, Li San Tie sighed directly and earnestly urged, "You silly boy. Think about it. If your wife gets admitted to college and there are so many college boys in the college. With you not around, could she not change her mind? Besides, after she finishes college, she‘ll have a job in the city. While you are still a farmer. Can she still fancy you?"
Song Wei Ping pinched the hard-covered textbook in the cloth bag and pursed his lips, "Third Elder Brother Li, as long as she wants to take the exam, I won't stop her."
After saying this, he walked quickly toward the house while Li San Tie sighed.
The village was as quiet as ever. Song Wei Ping was walking on the road. Toward the hidden gazes of the passing villagers and everyone’s muttering, he paid it no heed..
According to what she said, this marriage was a fake. He had no reason to stop her.
Xu Xiao Jiao had sent Zhou Ping Xiang away when she heard movement at the gate.
"Oh? You're back. I estimated that you’ll come back in the next two days."
When Song Wei Ping entered, he saw Zhou Ping Xiang who was not far from his home. As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it must be Zhou Ping Xiang who had come to discuss the college entrance examination with her.
"Have you talked it through with Zhou Ping Xiang?" He asked.
Xu Xiao Jiao zipped up the handbag and nodded, "I have."
Song Wei Ping didn't speak, bent down, and took out the wrapped book from the basket. He handed it to her, "I bought this on the way. Take a look. It should be useful."
Xu Xiao Jiao was overjoyed, "Song Wei Ping, you picked up again?"
As the policy became more and more loose, every time the transportation team went out in the past six months, they could pick a lot of good things. Although they weren’t rich household at the moment, they already had enough to eat and drink. She wondered what they got back this time. .
Song Wei Ping was washing his hands when he heard Xu Xiao Jiao's rustling sounds and then heard her soft laughter.
Xu Xiao Jiao really felt that her choice was right. Following Song Wei Ping, she should be very relaxed and happy in the future. Zhou Ping Xiang was afraid that Song Wei Ping would stop her, but the result, "Hey, Song Wei Ping. You bought it for me to use for the college entrance examination?"
Song Wei Ping acknowledged with an ‘en’, "You study hard."
Xu Xiao Jiao walked around him and spread her hands, "But I don't want to learn."
Song Wei Ping looked up at her, puzzled.
"What I mean is, I don't want to take the college entrance examination at all."
For once, Song Wei Ping stammered, "No, not take?"
Xu Xiao Jiao took in his blank expression and smiled, "That's right. I won't take."
She didn't need to study in a college to improve herself. Nor did she need to use her education to prove herself. From the very beginning, she didn't want to participate.
Song Wei Ping looked at the arranged books and a handbag on the table, "This is?"
He thought that she would move home with books and some things to study for the college entrance examination.
Xu Xiao Jiao followed his gaze, "Oh, the books are for Zhou Ping Xiang. As for the handbag, I was thinking about taking Grandmother to the county town for a comprehensive physical examination when you come back, since the weather is getting cooler and the brigade doesn't have much to do.”
Song Wei Ping was stunned for a while and only replied, "If you want to take the exam, I agree."
A girl like her should carefreely study on the college campus, instead of following him, a farmer for the rest of her life.
Xu Xiao Jiao put her hands behind her back and looked at him seriously, "Aren't you afraid?"
She said, "Song Wei Ping, aren't you afraid that I won't follow you once I get admitted to college?"
Song Wei Ping looked at her, “Afraid."
Afraid that if she leaves, she will never come back.
Somehow, an inexplicable emotion flashed in Xu Xiao Jiao's heart. This man looked so strong, reliable, indifferent, and ruthless.When in truth, he must have a lot of things on his mind.
"Relax." She patted him on the shoulder, "We agreed at the beginning to be good roommates for the rest of our lives. Anyway, I am very satisfied with you now. Don't say you are dissatisfied with me."
Song Wei Ping nodded, "Satisfied. No regrets?"
Xu Xiao Jiao raised her eyebrows, "What to regret? Besides, the college entrance examination isn’t only for this year. I can go wherever I want in the future. Speaking of which, Song Wei Ping, I think you could take part with your level. I'll give you some tutoring and you can pass it in one fell swoop. Do you want to try?"
It was impossible for her to be interested. But if Song Wei Ping wants to participate, she will support it.
Song Wei Ping shook his head. He wanted to earn money to support his family and her.
Both of them have no interest in the college entrance examination. So this topic was basically over. However, Xu Xiao Jiao's choice was really stupid in the eyes of others.
Wang Gui Yue didn't expect Xu Xiao Jiao to have no desire to take the college entrance examination, "You're foolish. After you get into college, you'll be a city dweller. By then, won't you be able to eat well?"
She was wearing a one piece dress. Although it didn't match her complexion, the dress looked very good. She was now married to Wang Er Bao, the secretary's second child, and she was living a good life.
"You want to participate?" Xu Xiao Jiao asked her.
Wang Gui Yue instantly had a sour and awkward expression, "I didn't know there would be a college entrance examination before and didn't study hard. I probably won't pass the exam. If I’m like you, I will definitely want to try."
If she can't pass the exam, then live with Wang Er Bao. If she pass the exam, that's another story.
When Zhao Yan Yan heard about Xu Xiao Jiao's news, she breathed a sigh of relief. It must be Song Wei Ping who refused to let Xu Xiao Jiao take the test. As it happened, she should be farming all her life!
She sat next to Han Guang Hui, watched him study hard. How great it would be if both of them are admitted to college. There would be no more such matters in the village.
"Elder Brother Guang Hui, look. I don't know how to do this math problem, please teach me." She said in a coquettish voice.
Han Guang Hui frowned at a glance, "Anyone who knows how to memorize can handle this multiplication table. Are you a junior high school graduate? Yan Yan, don’t disturb my study. You won’t pass the exam, so go work. Farm with a peace of mind first. When I’m admitted to college and find a job after graduation, I’ll find a way to arrange for you to move to the city.”
Truly stupid. Han Guang Hui was full of irritability. If he becomes a college student, he has to find a way to separate from Zhao Yan Yan. It would be the best if he and Xiao Jiao could be admitted to the same college as classmates and get along day and night.
"You, Han Guang Hui, you jerk!" Zhao Yan Yan slapped him across the face.
"Zhao Yan Yan, look at you now. Calling you a shrew is praising you!"
Before they even started studying, the two had a fierce fight. As for Han Guang Hui's attempt to secretly find Xu Xiao Jiao after hearing that she won’t take the college entrance examination, it was stopped by Zhao Yan Yan. No one knew about it.
Wu Chun Hua was also tangled in her heart. Selfishly, she was wanted Xu Xiao Jiao to attend college. But this year, Xu Xiao Jiao was so nice to her. And she was used to seeing her daughter every day. If she really goes to college, there will never be a mother and daughter interaction like this again.
She tossed and turned all night. The next morning, she heard the news that Song Wei Ping had gone to town. She couldn't fall asleep.
This year, she has become more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. Although he didn't talk much, he was capable and doted her daughter. Seeing the couple's life getting better and better, she could feel happy in her heart.
But what if my daughter got admitted to college?
Wu Chun Hua sat up immediately. No, she had to ask.
Song Wei Ping left early in the morning. Usually, the door wasn't closed, because Wu Chun Hua would come over to make breakfast when she was free so they could eat ready-made breakfast when he came back.
Since Song Wei Ping left, Wu Chun Hua didn't have any scruples. She called her daughter's name twice and didn't hear a response. So she pushed the door open and entered the room.
As she walked in, she thought to herself, those educated youths were studying every day, while her daughter was really big-hearted. She was sleeping soundly.
But when she entered the back room, she was dumbfounded by what she saw.
Xu Xiao Jiao was still asleep when she was suddenly woken up.
She was so frightened that she opened her eyes to see her mother Wu Chun Hua's surprised face.
What's the matter?
"You lass, tell me. Why are there curtains?" For once, Wu Chun Hua was seen angry. Before Xu Xiao Jiao could answer, she immediately thought up an answer.
"Could it be, that kid Song Wei Ping, he, he..." He can’t do it? Wu Chun Hua gritted her teeth all of a sudden.
"Alright! This wolf cub. I was wondering why he has changed. Before, he was a wooden man. Now he knows to be kind to you. It turns out that it’s because, because he wronged you. Don’t he feel guilty!"
Her daughter at her blooming age was living like a widow!
Wu Chun Hua's voice became louder as she spoke, as if she wanted to make a big fuss with Song Wei Ping.
Xu Xiao Jiao was still a little dazed from her sleepiness. She looked at the cloth curtain Wu Chun Hua was pulling and then looked at her expression and listened to her words. There was nothing she didn't understand.
If this Song Wei Ping's incompetence was spread out, what would come of it? Xu Xiao Jiao grabbed Wu Chun Hua.
The man's dignity of the future boss will be guarded by her!
"Mom, Mom, it's not what you think. Song Wei Ping can do it. He can do it!"
PreviousAiyaaa.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and couldn't help wiggling their eyebrows.
Look how Song Wei Ping's face changed.
Someone boldly said, "Xiao Jiao, this Wei Ping had two different expressions toward us and toward you. The change is so fast."
Poker-faced Xu Xiao Jiao hadn't paid attention. Still Song Wei Ping being able to calm down the situation with a single word gave her a sense of security.
She knew that as soon as she answered, the quiet scene would be rowdy again. So she held back her laughter and coughed softly, "Okay, the branch secretary has arrived too. The lecture will begin. This planting technical manual, we will divide it into five classes. The first four classes are all theoretical classes. In the last class, I will take everyone to some fields in our village to explain on the spot. I hope everyone will listen carefully and learn this knowledge well, so that everyone can have a prosperous year. Not only that, you could also apply the knowledge to your own private land. Increasing production isn’t a problem."
This opening grabbed everyone's attention. Originally, everyone thought that it was the same if they didn’t understand or others did. After all, they all went to work together. When Xu Xiao Jiao said this, everyone became focused. That’s right, there was private land. Although there was only one or two fractions of land, they had to grow peanuts on it. If they could earn more, then it was really your own.
"Comrade Xiao Jiao, don't worry. We will definitely listen carefully."
"Yes, yes, yes, Comrade Xiao Jiao. Let's get started."
Zhao Yan Yan pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Xu Xiao Jiao on the stage. Thinking of Song Wei Ping's consideration for Xu Xiao Jiao now, she cast a bitter glance at Han Guang Hui who was sitting next to her.
Unexpectedly, Han Guang Hui was looking at Xu Xiao Jiao with infatuation.
“What are you looking at! Did you forget how you were nearly punched to death by Song Wei Ping?” They had been married for nearly a year. Zhao Yan Yan was no longer crazy in love like the beginning. Seeing Han Guang Hui like this, she hit him hard.
Han Guang Hui frowned, "There are so many people. What are you doing? Yan Yan, don't you see I’m listening to the lecture?"
Han Guang Hui's expression of 'Why are you so ignorant' made Zhao Yan Yan feel even more suffocated.
"Okay, okay, I'll see what kind of training Xu Xiao Jiao can give. What can a person who can't lift a bucket and can’t dig understand about planting techniques?"
Facts have proved that Xu Xiao Jiao was capable. Quite capable.
In Song Wei Ping’s later words, "That day you stood on the stage, shining throughout. So many people below listened attentively. I was thinking-my wife is so amazing."
The commune members sitting below actually listened very seriously. They didn't expect that those of them who have been planting the land all their lives knew less than Xu Xiao Jiao who has never farmed the land. More importantly, what she said was clear and logical. As long as one ponders about it based on their own experience, they will notice that this was really the case. It was just that they haven't discovered it before and haven't applied it.
The village branch secretary was so close to expressing his excitement though hands and feet dancing. He nodded repeatedly and kept affirming.
"Okay, okay, what Comrade Xu Xiao Jiao said is very clear. Everyone can understand it. More importantly, this knowledge is useful. About the knowledge about crop rotation and inter plant that is mentioned today, I think us few production leaders got to quickly hold a discussion the next two days and put the knowledge to use. Comrade Xiao Jiao, you have to continue to guide us."
Xu Xiao Jiao found being a teacher quite enjoyable. She nodded with a smile, "Okay, I am very happy to serve our fellow people."
The village branch secretary was even more delighted, "Look at this enlightenment. Alright. Today, I see that many commune members and comrades didn’t attend. During the next training, everyone got to call each other. Come if there is nothing to do. Once the knowledge is learnt, it’s yours. You won’t suffer.”
Thinking of the detailed planting book compiled by Song Wei Ping for Xu Xiao Jiao, the village branch secretary found the day even more beautiful. The leaders above said that they not only need to spread technology in the village, but also the party secretaries of each village should gather together to explain their own learning. As a result, with that book as the foundation, he believed that he could have face in front of the leader no matter what.
Thinking of this, the branch secretary was full of energy, "Come on, let's applaud Comrade Xu Xiao Jiao. You have worked so hard. This is a great contribution to our entire brigade!"
Amidst the thunderous applause, Zhao Yan Yan slapped the table, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just farming? No matter how well one learns, still a mud leg!"
Her voice wasn’t low. The applause had stopped by the time she said the last sentence.
"Aiya, Yan Yan, you have become an educated youth and now look down on us farming folks. Since you become an educated youth, you don't have to farm?"
"That's right, Yan Yan. It's not me just saying. Don't be unconvinced. Xiao Jiao is better than you. She has the ability and can train everyone."
"Do what training! Han Guang Hui can't even handle it, so let’s not talk about her. Just based on attending school, only she knows what she has learned."
Zhao Yan Yan stood up abruptly, "You guys! You’re bullies!"
"Enough!" Han Guang Hui slapped the table and glared at Zhao Yan Yan, "Speak less. Look at you. You look like a shrew!"
"What? Han Guang Hui, you aren’t human! You call me a shrew? Are you a good thing?"
On the stage, Xu Xiao Jiao was watching Zhao Yan Yan and Han Guang Hui's big show. Then she saw a hand stretched out in front of her, holding a handful of melon seeds on it.
"Wa, Song Wei Ping, you understand me the most." Her voice was quiet but joyful. With a satisfied look on her face, she nibbled on the melon seeds. Without any entertainment in her mouth, she kept feeling that something was missing.
Hearing everyone criticizing Zhao Yan Yan one after another, Xu Xiao Jiao nodded and whispered to Song Wei Ping, "That's right. She used to be a farming folk and still look down on farmers. I really don't understand. What's wrong with farming?"
"What about you?" Song Wei Ping asked her.
Xu Xiao Jiao knew that the time for her to show her loyalty had come again. She immediately put on a firm look, "Of course I like it. Although I'm a little lazy and don't want to move, I'm willing to farm with you and follow you. Whether it's simple food or rare delicacies, I'm happy. Anyway, you will raise me, right?"
Song Wei Ping passed her honey water and signaled her to take a sip. He nodded, "En."
Xu Xiao Jiao grinned and responded to him in her heart- don't worry, Song Wei Ping, from next year onwards, you will not be who you are now. Rare delicacies aren’t a dream. Let raising me alone, even ten me is more than enough.
She listened to everyone below who started arguing about study again.
One stated that it was useless to learn planting techniques. They were still muddy legs.
Another said that as long as it was knowledge, it was useful. There was no distinction between high and low knowledge. Learning was useful.
Xu Xiao Jiao's thoughts began to drift away. Why was studying so useless? This year, how many people changed their destiny because of knowledge. This year, how many students took off.
Sure enough, in the season when the summer heat faded away and autumn began to get stronger, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination gradually spread along the radio, newspapers, and word of mouth.
Numerous educated youths went wild. The educated youths in Meilin Village were also delighted.
"Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao! Are you at home?"
Xu Xiao Jiao was tidying things at home when she heard Zhou Ping Xiang's voice.
The voice contained rare excitement.
She responded and saw Zhou Ping Xiang rushing into the house in a hurry, "Xiao Jiao! The college entrance examination is open. As long as we are admitted to college, we could go to college and return to the city later!"
She knew that this day would come. Still when looking at Zhou Ping Xiang's excited face and recalling how countless people were celebrating,, Xu Xiao Jiao reminisced how a policy could really change the fate of countless people.
"Ping Xiang, you should take the college entrance examination." Xu Xiao Jiao cheerfully told her, "You will definitely be able to pass the college entrance examination."
Zhou Ping Xiang didn't respond to this and instead asked her, "Is Song Wei Ping at home?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Not here. He went out with the transportation team. He should be back soon after a couple of days. What's the matter? Aren’t we talking about the college entrance examination?"
Zhou Ping Xiang held her hand, "Yes, the college entrance examination. Xiao Jiao, I will definitely take the college entrance examination. Over the past year, you have helped me study so much. I will definitely give it a try. I am here today to ask you. What about you?"
"Me?" Xu Xiao Jiao pointed to herself.
Zhou Ping Xiang nodded, "Yes, you."
It happened that Song Wei Ping wasn’t at home. She was afraid that Song Wei Ping would stop her from talking about it. So she pulled Xu Xiao Jiao to sit down and persuade her.
At this time, in the town, Li San Tie looked at the paper bag in Song Wei Ping's hand and sighed, "You boy, aren’t you being foolish? People wish they could stop them. While you? You even bought her books. Aren’t you afraid?”
Since they heard about the continuation of the college entrance examination on this trip, they witnessed many things. Some educated youths, who were going to marry local commune members, immediately reneged on their engagement when they heard the news. Some educated youths, who had already married and had children in the local area, were locked up by family members after hearing the news.
It was the first for Li San Tie to see someone like Song Wei Ping who wasn’t anxious and was even silly enough to buy college entrance examination books for her educated youth wife.
Seeing that Song Wei Ping didn't speak, Li San Tie sighed directly and earnestly urged, "You silly boy. Think about it. If your wife gets admitted to college and there are so many college boys in the college. With you not around, could she not change her mind? Besides, after she finishes college, she‘ll have a job in the city. While you are still a farmer. Can she still fancy you?"
Song Wei Ping pinched the hard-covered textbook in the cloth bag and pursed his lips, "Third Elder Brother Li, as long as she wants to take the exam, I won't stop her."
After saying this, he walked quickly toward the house while Li San Tie sighed.
The village was as quiet as ever. Song Wei Ping was walking on the road. Toward the hidden gazes of the passing villagers and everyone’s muttering, he paid it no heed..
According to what she said, this marriage was a fake. He had no reason to stop her.
Xu Xiao Jiao had sent Zhou Ping Xiang away when she heard movement at the gate.
"Oh? You're back. I estimated that you’ll come back in the next two days."
When Song Wei Ping entered, he saw Zhou Ping Xiang who was not far from his home. As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it must be Zhou Ping Xiang who had come to discuss the college entrance examination with her.
"Have you talked it through with Zhou Ping Xiang?" He asked.
Xu Xiao Jiao zipped up the handbag and nodded, "I have."
Song Wei Ping didn't speak, bent down, and took out the wrapped book from the basket. He handed it to her, "I bought this on the way. Take a look. It should be useful."
Xu Xiao Jiao was overjoyed, "Song Wei Ping, you picked up again?"
As the policy became more and more loose, every time the transportation team went out in the past six months, they could pick a lot of good things. Although they weren’t rich household at the moment, they already had enough to eat and drink. She wondered what they got back this time. .
Song Wei Ping was washing his hands when he heard Xu Xiao Jiao's rustling sounds and then heard her soft laughter.
Xu Xiao Jiao really felt that her choice was right. Following Song Wei Ping, she should be very relaxed and happy in the future. Zhou Ping Xiang was afraid that Song Wei Ping would stop her, but the result, "Hey, Song Wei Ping. You bought it for me to use for the college entrance examination?"
Song Wei Ping acknowledged with an ‘en’, "You study hard."
Xu Xiao Jiao walked around him and spread her hands, "But I don't want to learn."
Song Wei Ping looked up at her, puzzled.
"What I mean is, I don't want to take the college entrance examination at all."
For once, Song Wei Ping stammered, "No, not take?"
Xu Xiao Jiao took in his blank expression and smiled, "That's right. I won't take."
She didn't need to study in a college to improve herself. Nor did she need to use her education to prove herself. From the very beginning, she didn't want to participate.
Song Wei Ping looked at the arranged books and a handbag on the table, "This is?"
He thought that she would move home with books and some things to study for the college entrance examination.
Xu Xiao Jiao followed his gaze, "Oh, the books are for Zhou Ping Xiang. As for the handbag, I was thinking about taking Grandmother to the county town for a comprehensive physical examination when you come back, since the weather is getting cooler and the brigade doesn't have much to do.”
Song Wei Ping was stunned for a while and only replied, "If you want to take the exam, I agree."
A girl like her should carefreely study on the college campus, instead of following him, a farmer for the rest of her life.
Xu Xiao Jiao put her hands behind her back and looked at him seriously, "Aren't you afraid?"
She said, "Song Wei Ping, aren't you afraid that I won't follow you once I get admitted to college?"
Song Wei Ping looked at her, “Afraid."
Afraid that if she leaves, she will never come back.
Somehow, an inexplicable emotion flashed in Xu Xiao Jiao's heart. This man looked so strong, reliable, indifferent, and ruthless.When in truth, he must have a lot of things on his mind.
"Relax." She patted him on the shoulder, "We agreed at the beginning to be good roommates for the rest of our lives. Anyway, I am very satisfied with you now. Don't say you are dissatisfied with me."
Song Wei Ping nodded, "Satisfied. No regrets?"
Xu Xiao Jiao raised her eyebrows, "What to regret? Besides, the college entrance examination isn’t only for this year. I can go wherever I want in the future. Speaking of which, Song Wei Ping, I think you could take part with your level. I'll give you some tutoring and you can pass it in one fell swoop. Do you want to try?"
It was impossible for her to be interested. But if Song Wei Ping wants to participate, she will support it.
Song Wei Ping shook his head. He wanted to earn money to support his family and her.
Both of them have no interest in the college entrance examination. So this topic was basically over. However, Xu Xiao Jiao's choice was really stupid in the eyes of others.
Wang Gui Yue didn't expect Xu Xiao Jiao to have no desire to take the college entrance examination, "You're foolish. After you get into college, you'll be a city dweller. By then, won't you be able to eat well?"
She was wearing a one piece dress. Although it didn't match her complexion, the dress looked very good. She was now married to Wang Er Bao, the secretary's second child, and she was living a good life.
"You want to participate?" Xu Xiao Jiao asked her.
Wang Gui Yue instantly had a sour and awkward expression, "I didn't know there would be a college entrance examination before and didn't study hard. I probably won't pass the exam. If I’m like you, I will definitely want to try."
If she can't pass the exam, then live with Wang Er Bao. If she pass the exam, that's another story.
When Zhao Yan Yan heard about Xu Xiao Jiao's news, she breathed a sigh of relief. It must be Song Wei Ping who refused to let Xu Xiao Jiao take the test. As it happened, she should be farming all her life!
She sat next to Han Guang Hui, watched him study hard. How great it would be if both of them are admitted to college. There would be no more such matters in the village.
"Elder Brother Guang Hui, look. I don't know how to do this math problem, please teach me." She said in a coquettish voice.
Han Guang Hui frowned at a glance, "Anyone who knows how to memorize can handle this multiplication table. Are you a junior high school graduate? Yan Yan, don’t disturb my study. You won’t pass the exam, so go work. Farm with a peace of mind first. When I’m admitted to college and find a job after graduation, I’ll find a way to arrange for you to move to the city.”
Truly stupid. Han Guang Hui was full of irritability. If he becomes a college student, he has to find a way to separate from Zhao Yan Yan. It would be the best if he and Xiao Jiao could be admitted to the same college as classmates and get along day and night.
"You, Han Guang Hui, you jerk!" Zhao Yan Yan slapped him across the face.
"Zhao Yan Yan, look at you now. Calling you a shrew is praising you!"
Before they even started studying, the two had a fierce fight. As for Han Guang Hui's attempt to secretly find Xu Xiao Jiao after hearing that she won’t take the college entrance examination, it was stopped by Zhao Yan Yan. No one knew about it.
Wu Chun Hua was also tangled in her heart. Selfishly, she was wanted Xu Xiao Jiao to attend college. But this year, Xu Xiao Jiao was so nice to her. And she was used to seeing her daughter every day. If she really goes to college, there will never be a mother and daughter interaction like this again.
She tossed and turned all night. The next morning, she heard the news that Song Wei Ping had gone to town. She couldn't fall asleep.
This year, she has become more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. Although he didn't talk much, he was capable and doted her daughter. Seeing the couple's life getting better and better, she could feel happy in her heart.
But what if my daughter got admitted to college?
Wu Chun Hua sat up immediately. No, she had to ask.
Song Wei Ping left early in the morning. Usually, the door wasn't closed, because Wu Chun Hua would come over to make breakfast when she was free so they could eat ready-made breakfast when he came back.
Since Song Wei Ping left, Wu Chun Hua didn't have any scruples. She called her daughter's name twice and didn't hear a response. So she pushed the door open and entered the room.
As she walked in, she thought to herself, those educated youths were studying every day, while her daughter was really big-hearted. She was sleeping soundly.
But when she entered the back room, she was dumbfounded by what she saw.
Xu Xiao Jiao was still asleep when she was suddenly woken up.
She was so frightened that she opened her eyes to see her mother Wu Chun Hua's surprised face.
What's the matter?
"You lass, tell me. Why are there curtains?" For once, Wu Chun Hua was seen angry. Before Xu Xiao Jiao could answer, she immediately thought up an answer.
"Could it be, that kid Song Wei Ping, he, he..." He can’t do it? Wu Chun Hua gritted her teeth all of a sudden.
"Alright! This wolf cub. I was wondering why he has changed. Before, he was a wooden man. Now he knows to be kind to you. It turns out that it’s because, because he wronged you. Don’t he feel guilty!"
Her daughter at her blooming age was living like a widow!
Wu Chun Hua's voice became louder as she spoke, as if she wanted to make a big fuss with Song Wei Ping.
Xu Xiao Jiao was still a little dazed from her sleepiness. She looked at the cloth curtain Wu Chun Hua was pulling and then looked at her expression and listened to her words. There was nothing she didn't understand.
If this Song Wei Ping's incompetence was spread out, what would come of it? Xu Xiao Jiao grabbed Wu Chun Hua.
The man's dignity of the future boss will be guarded by her!
"Mom, Mom, it's not what you think. Song Wei Ping can do it. He can do it!"
