By this time, the news of high school reopening had been confirmed.

Those who only want to attend high school should take the exam before July.

Only those who pass the exam will have the opportunity to attend high school.

Lin Jingyu and the others immediately signed up.

Others from the educated youth compound also signed up to take the exam.

Therefore, several educated youths took the exam.

It's clear that many people still want to continue their high school education.

All the exam papers were completed in two days.

The results will be released a week later, and those who make the list can attend high school.

"So, you three girls, are you confident?"

When Madam Zhang saw them return, she immediately asked, "It doesn't matter if you failed the exam. You can always try again next year."

"Grandma, I should be fine."

Although Lin Jingyu wouldn't dare say she got a perfect score, she was confident she could at least achieve a mid-to-upper-level result.

"I can do most of the test questions."

Peng Shiyu added, "I should be able to pass and have a chance to make the list."

"I can't guarantee I'll pass."

Shen Susu was a little embarrassed. "I know how to do some of them, and I don't know how to do others. I'll try to write down the answers I know, and I hope I can pass."

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Yang Shujue patted her on the shoulder, "Grandma Zhang is right, if it doesn't work this year, we can try next year."

You've seen it yourself; many people older than you are taking the exam. What are you afraid of?

"I will try my best."

Shen Susu nodded.

Although she lacked confidence, she still held a glimmer of hope deep down after six months of hard work.

As expected.

All three of them made the list.

Shen Susu's car was listed as the last one on the list.

Even though it's last place, being on the list is still being on the list.

She has a spot to continue her high school education.

When the news reached the village, it immediately alarmed many people.

The people of Shuibu Village knew that many educated youths from the educated youth compound went there to take the exam.

These days, hearing that someone has been admitted to a high school still attracts a lot of attention.

"Shen Susu got into high school too?"

Zhang Zhiming was somewhat incredulous when he heard the news.

"Why would I lie to you?"

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Liu Jian'an's eyes. "Several people from the educated youth institute went to participate. They went to check the list in person and indeed saw Shen Susu's name."

"Speaking of which, the educated youth in our institute are really impressive; six of them made the list."

"It's just high school, not college entrance exams."

Zhang Zhiming scoffed, "Besides, what's the point of women reading so many books? It's not only a waste of money, but it also makes them stupid."

"Hehe, this is the first time I've ever heard of reading making people stupid."

Liu Jian'an chuckled twice. "Everyone says that studying changes one's destiny. I believe that people who are good at studying are definitely not stupid. The truly stupid people are the self-righteous ones."

He left without waiting for the other party's reaction.

Zhang Zhiming's face immediately darkened.

He glared at Liu Jian'an fiercely, then turned and went home.

When he got home, he locked himself in his room.

The more glorious his marriage to a female educated youth was back then, the more of a failure he is now.

He knew that ever since his divorce, the whole village had been laughing at him.

Especially now that Shen Susu has changed, he can't help but feel deep regret.

"Zhiming, Zhiming~"

Zhang Zhiming heard his mother Xia Dongcao calling from outside the door, so he had no choice but to open the door. "Mom, what is it?"

"Good news."

Xia Dongcao smiled happily, "Your aunt sent word that the female educated youth in their village are willing to marry young men from the village."

I've already asked your aunt to act as matchmaker. You should go and see her too. If you like her, we'll marry her.

"It's not like Shen Susu is the only female educated youth. It would be easy for our family to marry a female educated youth; as long as you, Zhiming, like her, that's all that matters."

"Mom, we'll talk about it later."

Zhang Zhiming was feeling annoyed.

He would get angry, especially when he heard about female educated youth or Shen Susu.

She simply closed the door and ignored her mother who was outside.

"Zhiming, Zhiming, what's wrong with your child?"

Xia Dongcao was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and started banging on the door, "Open the door quickly, if you like female educated youth, I'll find you a female educated youth to be your wife."

"Don't even think about that restless woman, Chen Susu, anymore, Zhiming. Mom's found you the best one; I'm sure you'll like her."

"What's the fuss?"

When Captain Zhang returned home, his face was long and drawn.

He glanced at the closed door again and scolded, "Ignore him, hurry up and cook, stop causing trouble all day."

"What nonsense! I want to help Zhiming marry the female educated youth he likes."

Xia Dongcao looked distressed. "That bitch Shen Susu is gone. I absolutely cannot let Zhiming continue to be heartbroken over her."

"Hmph, what's there to be sad about?"

Captain Zhang snorted coldly, "He can't even handle his own woman, what kind of future can he have?"

Okay, ignore him.

Whether he marries or not is his own business; you should mind your own business.

“Zhiming is my son. If I don’t take care of him, who will?”

Xia Dongcao retorted, then added enthusiastically, "Honey, some of the educated youth from my hometown village are willing to marry young men from the village. I'll arrange for them to marry Zhiming..."

"Don't do anything reckless. Not just anyone can enter the Zhang family's gate..."

...

Hearing the sounds outside the door, Zhang Zhiming couldn't help but recall the look of joy on his parents' faces when he told them he wanted to marry Shen Susu.

Everything has changed now, and there's no going back!

A few days later.

Lin Jingyu and the others returned to Shuibu Village.

the next day.

They brought a lot of things to the village chief's house.
