Chapter 29 College Entrance Examination Results

Before Zhou Ping Xiang and Wang Gui Yue went to take the college entrance examination, they came to Xu Xiao Jiao to ask questions.

After revising these past few months, the two of them already understood how excellent Xu Xiao Jiao was.

As long as it was a question that they didn't know, they asked Xu Xiao Jiao. She could solve it.

Wang Gui Yue took in all the questions she got wrong one by one and said, "Xiao Jiao, I don't think I can pass the exam. But if you take the exam, you can pass the exam 100%. Whether it's an arts or science subject, you can definitely do it."

Although Zhou Ping Xiang felt that her revision was very good, she was a little nervous when the exam was approaching. She agreed with Wang Gui Yue's words, "That's right, Xiao Jiao, you didn't apply for this year's registration. If there is a college entrance examination next year, will you take it?"

Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "No way."

She was not interested in the college entrance examination.

Wang Gui Yue didn't know what to say about her anymore. Those who wanted to pass the exam couldn’t pass the exam. Those who could pass the exam would not.

No matter what they thought, Xu Xiao Jiao sincerely wanted Zhou Ping Xiang to pass the exam. While Wang Gui Yue… she knew that if she passed the exam, she may divorce her husband. But this was her choice. She can't say anything. So in the end, she hoped that both of them could get a good grade in the exam.

That’s why she guessed what questions would come up for the two of them.

Guessing on questions, this was the most common pre-examination activity in later generations. From teachers to students, they will guess on questions before the exam. As long as they were familiar with the outline, the key knowledge would never be wrong even if the content was different.

When Song Wei Ping bought her a textbook, it included the syllabus for the college entrance examination issued this year. She knew the key knowledge of high school well. Plus she had some historical descriptions of the level of this year's college entrance examination paper.

She roughly produced a test paper.

"These are some questions I thought of. Take a good look if you have time. It may be helpful to you. I wish you all good grades in the exam."

Zhou Ping Xiang believed in the questions she gave. A few days before the exam, she devoted herself to studying this set of questions.

Wang Gui Yue didn't take it seriously. After finding out that she couldn't do most of the questions on the test paper, she was even less convinced, "Really, that Xiao Jiao. She must have produced some questions that she didn't know how to do because she can't take the college entrance examination herself and wanted to hurt my self-confidence! Just to make me not want to take the test?"

She glanced through the test paper twice before throwing it away.

Xu Xiao Jiao didn't pay attention to whether she looked at it or not. Anyway, her test scores have nothing to do with her.

Her daily task now was to learn how to ride a bicycle from Song Wei Ping.

Xu Xiao Jiao never expected that a small bicycle would be so difficult to learn.

More importantly, Wu Chun Hua and Xu Xiao Gang grasped it while she couldn't.

Xu Xiao Gang didn't know how to keep face for his elder sister. He ruthlessly smirked, "Hahaha, Elder Sister, why are you so stupid? From what I see, you can’t learn it. So don't learn it. In the future, Elder Brother-in-law will take you when you go out. If Elder Brother-in-law isn’t free, I will take you follow you."

Song Wei Ping glanced at the puffing Xu Xiao Jiao and criticized Xu Xiao Gang, "Don't say that about your elder sister."

Xu Xiao Jiao didn't believe that she couldn’t learn to ride this little bicycle, "With your small body, you want to carry me? You can't reach the seat by yourself. Who was it who could only ride it on the pole under the beam?"

She ko-ed Xu Xiao Gang with one sentence and continued to learn from Song Wei Ping.

Even when the leaves were all gone, she didn't learn it. When the educated youth went to take the college entrance examination, she hadn't grasped it yet. The college entrance examination results were coming out soon, she still hadn't got it.

One night, she suddenly thought of a reason. Seeing Song Wei Ping leaning on the bedside reading a book, she poked him with her foot, "Song Wei Ping, did you not teach me properly?"

She felt that Song Wei Ping, the teacher, was not good enough.

Song Wei Ping looked up from the book, half smiling.

"Can’t learn, so blame me?"

Xu Xiao Jiao acted as it was natural, "En."

Song Wei Ping stretched out his hand to hold her ankle. Feeling the strength of her wanting to retract, he let go, "I taught Mom and Xiao Gang. They have all learned it. So what should I say?"

Xu Xiao Jiao was immediately discouraged, "Song Wei Ping, do you think I will never learn it in my life?"

Song Wei Ping discussed with her, "Not learn then. I will take you there when going out in the future."

Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "It's not a car. If you buy a car, you can be my driver. Still, I want to learn to ride a bicycle and ride it next spring."

She didn't give up. She hopped on the bicycle whenever she had time.

So, the news that she couldn't learn to ride a bicycle spread almost throughout the village.

After the college entrance examination, Zhou Ping Xiang came to see her. She was aggrieved, "Ping Xiang, tell me, why can't I grasp how to ride those two wheels? Am I that stupid?"

There were people in the village who were eyeing on it with greed. When she was learning, she occasionally let them ride a round or two. They learned it after three or five tries, but she couldn't do it.

And those villagers pretended to comfort her.

"Hey, Xiao Jiao, don't worry. No matter what you learn, there are times when it’s fast and times when it’s slow."

"Xiao Jiao, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it. Wherever you want to go, let Wei Ping take you there."

"I saw that riding this thing requires long legs. Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao, your legs aren’t short either."

Seeing how they couldn't hold back their laughter, she was so depressed.

This matter had become news in the village. Everyone was waiting to see when Xu Xiao Jiao could learn it. Zhou Ping Xiang naturally knew about it too. She couldn't help but find it amusing, "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Your head is already smart enough. Since learning to ride a bicycle is slow, take it easy then. Take your time."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought about it. Could it be because she was too lazy and usually only talked and did not move? The brain cells were well developed, while the motor cells were not well developed?

En. After much deliberation, she felt this was the only reason.

She was melancholy, "Oh, I wanted to ride the bicycle and whistle past the wheat waves in the fields. That scene is beautiful just thinking about it."

Zhou Ping Xiang comforted her, "There’s still time before next year. There’s nothing to do during winter. So learn slowly."

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded. It could only be like that. Treat it as exercise.

At the same time, Zhao Yan Yan and the others were also discussing this matter.

Zhao Yan Yan gloated, "Oh, the whole village has spread it around. She is so stupid. Song Wei Ping finally got her a bicycle from somewhere and she wanted to show off. She happened to can’t grasp it."

Even though the college entrance examination was over, Chen Xue didn't leave. She flirted with Han Guang Hui under Zhao Yan Yan's nose. Both of them found it quite exciting. When she heard what Zhao Yan Yan said, she also laughed.

"It can be seen from here that she is stupid. No wonder she didn’t take the college entrance examination. Isn't that embarrassing?"

Zhao Yan Yan nodded, "Ain't that right!. When Brother Guang Hui taught me, I learned it in two or three days. Xiao Xue, you asked Elder Brother Guang Hui to teach you for three or four days and you haven't learned it yet, have you? I’m smarter than you."

She was faster than Xu Xiao Jiao and Chen Xue in learning to ride a bicycle. It meant she was smarter than both of them. Her college entrance examination scores must be better than Chen Xue's.

Chen Xue laughed from the bottom of her heart. Of course she deliberately failed to learn. Now that the college entrance examination was over and everyone was free, she can't be with Han Guang Hui with a fair reason. So she used the excuse of riding a bicycle to get along with him.

Every time she pretended to fall over, Han Guang Hui was extremely nervous. He held her waist and asked her how she was. She could see that Han Guang Hui had feelings for her in that aspect.

If the results of the college entrance examination come out, both she and Han Guang Hui will be admitted to the college. Zhao Yan Yan won’t pass the exam. In the future, no one will stop the two of them.

Thinking of this, Chen Xue glanced at Zhao Yan Yan smugly. She changed the subject, "Do you think Xu Xiao Jiao will give Zhou Ping Xiang her bicycle to ride?"

Zhao Yan Yan curled her lips, "Even if Zhou Ping Xiang rides it, I don't think she can learn it. Haven't you seen the way Zhou Ping Xiang is? She is more active at work than anyone else and works harder than anyone else every day. She is an idiot. In my opinion, she will be farming her whole life."

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"Hey, hey, comrades, please pay attention. Comrades, please pay attention. I am the branch secretary. Next, I will announce some very good news. Everyone please pay attention."

The two of them were laughing loudly when they heard the loudspeakers in the village.

It was already winter. The loudspeakers usually weren’t used. So they wondered what was happening.

The village branch secretary’s simple voice carried a smile, "This is the glory of our Meilin Village. Please pay attention. Comrade Zhou Ping Xiang, an educated youth of our Meilin Village! Comrade Zhou Ping Xiang got an admission letter for the college entrance examination. She is admitted to a college. She got into college!"

"Comrade Zhou Ping Xiang, please go to the brigade to get your admission letter, Please go to the brigade to get your admission letter."

At Song Wei Ping's house, Xu Xiao Jiao cheered and hugged Zhou Ping Xiang who was already stunned, "Wow, Ping Xiang, you succeeded. You have been admitted to college, Ping Xiang!"

Zhou Ping Xiang stared blankly at Xu Xiao Jiao. It took her a long time to realize, "My, admission letter?"

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded fiercely. She knew how serious Zhou Ping Xiang was studying. She also knew how important this notice meant to her. "Yes, your letter. You are going to college."

Zhou Ping Xiang laughed with relief as tears silently shed out.

Xu Xiao Jiao wiped her tears, "Why are you crying? You should be happy. You are so amazing."

Zhou Ping Xiang hugged Xu Xiao Jiao and swung her in a circle, "Xiao Jiao, thank you. You not only helped me with my studies, but also guessed the questions for me before the exam. More than 60% of those questions hit the key points. Xiao Jiao, you are the best one."

Xu Xiao Jiao was happy for her friend who was admitted to college. She was held so tight by Zhou Ping Xiang that she couldn't breathe, "Hahaha, Ping Xiang, why are you so energetic? Quickly put me down. Aiya, I'm dizzy. "

In the yard, Song Wei Ping looked at Xu Xiao Jiao, who was being hugged by Zhou Ping Xiang, who was crying from tears of joy. He sighed inwardly.

In the brigade, the village branch secretary had turned off the loudspeaker and cherishingly covered the player with a big red cloth before concentrating on staring at Zhou Ping Xiang’s letter. On the square letter cover, there were big red characters - ‘Admission Notice’. Although he didn't know the content inside, he had read these words countless times and couldn't get enough of them.

It was good to study. Study well, one will be admitted to college. How glorious!

He was waiting for Zhou Ping Xiang when he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Then, with a swoosh, a bunch of people came in.

The village branch secretary looked up. Oh, except for Zhou Ping Xiang, all the other educated youths came.

"What are you doing here?"

The village branch secretary didn’t have any good impression of them now. During the busy farming season, Zhou Ping Xiang didn’t ask for a day off and she was admitted to college. While these guys, they demanded so plausibly and volubly for a leave to revise. Not a day of work was done and didn't even pass the exam. He felt ashamed for them just thinking about it.

"Branch Secretary, where's the notice?"

The village branch secretary pointed to the table with his chin, "There."

Zhao Yan Yan and the others glanced at it. On the top, the few big words ‘For the attention of Zhou Ping Xiang’ were clearly written on it. "No. Our letter!"

The village branch secretary squinted at them, "Yours? You didn't pass the exam. What letter?"
