Before we knew it, the day for the results arrived.

"Sister-in-law is amazing! Her name is the first one! Wait, Brother Yan?! Brother Yan is right after her! Brother Yan is so awesome!"

Feng Tiezhu couldn't help but marvel. No wonder his brother Yan had always been so calm and didn't seem worried about the results at all.

Upon seeing the two people, he immediately began searching for his wife's name on the screen.

Nearly 10,000 people in the county took the exam, but fewer than 200 of them passed the cutoff score and became college students.

It is said that this was all thanks to the self-study series of math, physics and chemistry books that everyone bought somewhere before the exam.

The list isn't long; you can see it at a glance.

But this concerns one's own destiny.

Everyone practically broke down the characters into tiny pieces to understand them, afraid of missing their own names.

Feng Tiezhu pointed to the second row of names on the wall, his expression excited.

"I passed! I passed! Honey, your name is on the list!"

Tang Lingling felt a slight sense of relief, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she didn't pay much attention to the three words and just stared at the name on the page and looked at the rest.

When she didn't see Feng Tiezhu for a long time, her heart skipped a beat.

Just as she was starting to think about how to comfort Tiezhu if he really didn't pass the exam.

Feng Tiezhu, who was standing to the side, suddenly shook her arm excitedly, stammering:

"Wife, wife! Quickly, help me see, see if I'm up there?"

"My name is on it???!!! I, Feng Tiezhu, got into university too?! Hahahaha! I've really made my dad proud!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lingling's eyes were instantly filled with ecstasy. She was helpless from being shaken by him, but when she saw that his name was right at the end, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, we've looked at the list. Now we should go buy some malted milk powder for Little Stone. Let's go early and come back early. Little Fatty just recovered from his fever these past two days, and I'm worried that Mom won't be able to take care of him alone."

They originally came out to buy malted milk powder for Xiao Shitou, and since it happened to be the day the results were released, they wanted to see the results as soon as possible.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous; Tang Lingling's palms were sweating when she squeezed in.

She wasn't as optimistic as Feng Tiezhu. Tiezhu had a relaxed attitude, but she had seen Feng Tiezhu sleep only two or three hours a day and often study hard until dawn.

During that period, the table on the windowsill was mostly filled with bitter melons.

Sometimes when he felt sleepy, he would pick up a bitter melon from the table and take a few bites to perk himself up.

During the day, he barely ate a few bites of food before rushing back to his room to read.

People who used to be able to eat dozens of cornbread buns would usually go hungry in order not to waste time or to avoid feeling sleepy after eating.

I've lost a lot of weight during this period.

She saw it all, and it pained her deeply.

Although, after her tutoring, she felt that Feng Tiezhu shouldn't be too bad.

But no matter how certain you are in your heart, nothing is more reassuring than seeing the results for yourself.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain!

Tang Lingling was very happy, as her family would no longer have to be separated.

Feng Tiezhu waved his hand happily, "Buy! Let's buy seven or eight cans of malted milk powder for Little Stone to stock up at home! Hahaha, I'll let him have some fun too!"

Holy crap!

A collective gasp filled the air.

What kind of family is this! Ordinary people might not even drink malted milk powder once a year, yet he hoards seven or eight cans of it.

Could it be some kind of capitalism?

Tang Lingling quickly pulled him away and pinched his waist.

"Ouch! Honey! Be gentle! It hurts!"

Tang Lingling couldn't bear to look at the child's father, who was clearly emotional, so she winked at him and raised her voice:

"If you know it hurts, what were you babbling about? We're barely making ends meet at home, and you still have time to brag!"

Once she sensed that the gazes surrounding them had dispersed, Tang Lingling rolled her eyes at him.

He said softly, "I know you're happy, but you don't know how to be mindful of the occasion when you speak. Be careful you don't get arrested as a capitalist!"

Feng Tiezhu sighed with relief at marrying such a clever wife, and quickly apologized, trying to appease her: "Wife, I was wrong. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and whatever you like, we'll buy it for you!"

Tang Lingling laughed and scolded, "Are you unhappy because you didn't spend any money today?"

Feng Tiezhu chuckled, "I owe everything I have today to my wife. I'm happy to spend money on her and my son!"

…

Some are happy, while others are sad.

Tang Lingling and Feng Tiezhu weren't the only ones eager to see the list as soon as possible; the educated youth who had mocked Feng Tiezhu that day also wanted to be among the first to see it.

Unsurprisingly, he failed the exam.

He looked at it no less than ten times but still couldn't find his name.

What's even harder to accept than failing the exam is...

He once mocked two people who hadn't finished high school for actually getting into university, one of whom was Yan Xiao, who had little opportunity to go to school!

He mocked others, but they retaliated with their own strength.

...

Feng Dabing was the first to relay this news back to the Red Star Brigade.

The moment he held the letter of commendation from the town, his hands trembled with excitement.

Eight college students came from one village!

Apart from the two teachers who were themselves educators,

His family owns two of them!

He's really made something of himself!

He knew that the villagers had disapproved of his son taking the college entrance exam recently.

Before the college entrance exam results were released, he didn't really believe that brat could pass.

Therefore, he never responded to the rumors circulating in the village. He always felt that if he really failed the exam, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.
