Chapter 57: Fleeting Years

"I heard it from Sister Qiu." Xue Miaoyun sat next to An Xiaoxiao: "Didn't you say you were going to take the college entrance examination? I didn't see you before."

An Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "I give up."

"For this child?"

"Well," An Xiaoxiao's expression was stiff, "This child was an accident. I didn't want it originally, but the elders in my family disagreed. His mother even threatened to commit suicide. If I don't give birth to this child, I'm afraid I will be abandoned by everyone."

Xue Miaoyun didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't imagine the unfair treatment women received in this era. It is very irresponsible to advise An Xiaoxiao to abort the child and become an independent woman. Not to mention whether An Xiaoxiao has the ability or not, the psychological burden alone would be enough to overwhelm her.

"Xiaoxiao, if there is any way I can help you, you must tell me." Xue Miaoyun sighed. She should have prescribed a set of birth control pills for An Xiaoxiao earlier. We can't let down our guard at this critical moment.

At that time, family planning products were not yet widely available, and everyone was proud of having many children. A glorious mother gave birth to seven or eight children. It’s scary to think about it.

It was not until the implementation of family planning that women were able to escape the pain of frequent childbirths.

"Thank you, Miaoyun." An Xiaoxiao didn't want to upset her only friend, so she changed the subject: "Are you going to the capital to study?"

"Well, if there are no accidents."

"What about this place at home?"

"Cang Ling supports me, and fortunately we don't have children. We'll talk about the rest later." Anyway, she is still young and is not in a hurry to have children.

She had no interest in children before, but now she feels that having a child with Cang Ling is a very good thing.

It turns out that women are fickle.

"That's great. I used to think Captain Cang was a cold-hearted person, and that women who tried every means to marry him were mentally ill. But now I realize that you can't judge a person by his appearance." After getting married, Cang Ling did shock many people.

Xue Miaoyun didn't say anything. She didn't want to say anything about Cang Ling in front of other women.

"Xue Miaoyun, is Comrade Xue Miaoyun at home?"

"Well," Xue Miaoyun looked up after hearing the voice, "I'll go take a look."

In the yard, Xue Miaoyun saw the postman riding a bicycle at a glance and suddenly thought of something. The results of this year's college entrance examination have not been announced, so everyone can only wait for the admission notice to be sent to know whether they have been admitted.

"Are you Comrade Xue Miaoyun?"

"I am."

The postman glanced at her with admiration in his eyes.

"Here's your email, please sign it."

"It's the admission letter." Looking at the words "B" on it, Xue Miaoyun's heart finally settled down.

Although I have confidence in myself, I never fear the worst. In my previous life, I heard a lot about people going to college under false identities. Now that I have received the admission letter, I feel at ease.

After signing, Xue Miaoyun thanked the postman.

"Comrade Xue, congratulations." The postman was also shocked when he received this mail today. He didn't expect that there would be such a talented person in their military family compound.

"Thanks."

"Miaoyun, this is the admission letter, right? Let me see it."

"Don't worry, I'll get it." Xue Miaoyun hurried forward.

Soon the news that Xue Miaoyun was admitted to B University spread throughout the campus, causing quite a stir.

Every day many people come to Xue Miaoyun's house to watch the fun. Xue Miaoyun had no choice but to receive him.

Fortunately, one after another, the eight students in Xue Miaoyun's class received admission letters.

Basically they are all key universities.

Cao Lisheng studied at Capital Normal University, but Jiang Cong was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Q University.

"Teacher Xue, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, my child really wouldn't have gotten this score. Thank you so much." Mother Cao held Xue Miaoyun's hand and couldn't stop expressing her gratitude.

"Yes, yes, after I knew Jiang Cong was admitted to Q University, I thought I was dreaming. His grandfather called me personally this morning and praised my husband and I for how well we teach our children. I felt embarrassed." Jiang Cong's mother is a beauty and she speaks in a humorous and witty manner.

"It's all because of their hard work and they have a good foundation." Xue Miaoyun really thought so. She doesn't think she's a good teacher. It was her first time teaching students, and she was very clear about her own level.

That is to say, there are few students and they are well-behaved, otherwise she would definitely explode. After all, she had never been a patient person.

After seeing off the grateful parents, I looked at the house filled with thank-you gifts. Xue Miaoyun looked at Cang Ling, "Can you take these?"

Cang Ling took a look and said, "It's not something valuable. They are all very sensible and should have discussed it before sending it. It's not a good idea to return it. I'll just send one back when I have a chance."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Cang Ling came forward and said, "My wife is really amazing. Will she have many students all over the world in the future?"

"Don't even think about it. I'm not cut out for it. Let other gardeners take care of the flowers of our motherland." Xue Miaoyun refused.

Cang Ling didn't force it. He let his wife do whatever she liked. As long as it is legal and compliant.

Cang Ling thought that his wife would be going to school soon and would not have much time to spend with him, so he became extremely clingy.

Xue Miaoyun and her husband live a very harmonious life.

The family compound was not peaceful.

When the college entrance examination results came out, there were more people who failed than those who passed.

Apart from the eight students in Xue Miaoyun's class, only two others were admitted, and they were to junior colleges and technical secondary schools.

In this year's college entrance examination, the number of applicants was 5.7 million, the number of admitted applicants was 270,000, and the admission rate was only 4.7%. It is really like a huge crowd trying to cross a single-plank bridge, and only a few can pass the exam.

But what people fear most is comparison. It would have been fine if no one passed the exam, but quite a few people in the compound passed. And these people were all in Xue Miaoyun's class, which made many parents think that if their children had been taught by Xue Miaoyun before, they would have been able to pass the exam.

So some people started saying that Xue Miaoyun was unwilling to help too many people, and that she only taught the children of the leaders in the military region.

When Xue Miaoyun learned about these rumors from An Xiaoxiao, she rolled her eyes.

"I'm not a teacher, and I don't choose my students."

"They are just jealous." How could An Xiaoxiao not know the mentality of those gossipy women out there.

"They probably want to use public opinion to force you to teach their children, or to take out your teaching materials." An Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with disgust: "The Liu family is the worst offender. They have a daughter who took the exam but didn't pass."

"Liu family?"

"He is a battalion commander of the Sixth Regiment. His wife is from the countryside and is very aggressive. Her reputation is average. She has fought with several families. No one dares to mess with her."
