Chapter 200 College Entrance Examination

"Jianbing, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Xiuxiu lowered her head; she truly knew she was wrong now.

She even felt a lingering fear; if something had really happened to her child, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

She genuinely didn't know why she did something so crazy.

"Really, please don't leave me, okay? My child and I can't live without you. If you want to take the college entrance exam, fine, I promise, I won't stop you, but please don't leave us, okay?"

Yang Jianbing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and started struggling again: "I've already said it, I just want to take the college entrance examination, I never thought about leaving you."

"Are you really not leaving? But many people say you will leave because you can marry city girls when you go back. We're just from the countryside, Jianbing. I'm really scared. I'm afraid you'll never come back. Really, as long as you don't leave me, I'll agree to anything, okay? Our son, yes, our son is so smart, he's just like you. Let's raise him together and make sure he studies hard so he can go to university." As if thinking of some bright future, Xiuxiu's face showed a hopeful smile.

Yan Jianbing felt a pang of pain in his heart seeing her like this, but in the end he gave in and pretended nothing had happened: "Okay, let's go home."

“Going home? Okay, let’s go home. Jianbing, let me tell you, I heard a lot of people have signed up. When we have time, let’s go to the brigade leader’s office to sign up together. Also, I heard it will be very cold during the exam, so I’ll make you a couple more layers of clothes. You’re so smart, you’ll definitely pass. Once you pass, our family will sell everything we own to support your studies. But my son and I will definitely go with you. You can’t leave us behind. Don’t worry, once we get to where you’re studying, we’ll go out and find work, or we’ll borrow some money from my brother and his family. That’s how we get by, little by little. As long as our family is together, life is sweet.”

"And also..."

Yang Jianbing didn't know what Xiuxiu had said again, and it seemed like the matter had passed by so easily, as if the crazy Xiuxiu from that day had never existed.

Whether it's self-deception or whitewashing, Yang Jianbing doesn't want to think about it anymore.

The only thing he cares about right now is the college entrance examination.

Moreover, as mentioned earlier, time will tell.

Since his wife doesn't believe him, he'll wait until she does. Anyway, he's never thought of leaving Xiuxiu or this family.

For Yang Jianbing, now that he has started a family, this family has become his responsibility.

Later, Lin Tiangen held another production team meeting specifically for the college entrance examination. At the meeting, Lin Tiangen strongly condemned those who used various means to prevent people from taking the college entrance examination, and reiterated that their Xiaolin Village production team was not the kind of place that disregarded people's wishes. No one who wanted to take the college entrance examination should be stopped, or else they should not blame him, the production team leader, for being impolite!

He spoke frankly, and the brigade leader did just that. After that, Lin Tiangen showed no mercy to any family that had a problem, and over time, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.

Even those who had ulterior motives put them aside, and Lin You and Mi Ya broke up peacefully. Of course, no one knows what the two of them were really thinking.

When everyone learned that Lin You and Mi Ya had broken up, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him. However, Lin You was alright. Although he had put his heart into Mi Ya, he wasn't too heartbroken when they actually broke up. His anger was probably mostly due to his hurt pride as a man.

Regardless of the conflicts, broken families, conspiracies, and schemes caused by the college entrance examination, the entire Xiaolin Village returned to peace under Lin Tiangen's firm leadership.

It must be said that Lin Tiangen was indeed a better production team leader than Lin Guangyi; he was more decisive and able to manage people.

Time passed amidst the busy farming season and the review sessions. Soon, the college entrance examination, which had been reinstated after ten years, finally began.

The night before, Lin Guangsheng and his wife took Xiao Taohua to town. The examination center was in town, so staying there would save them the trouble of traveling back and forth.

"Don't be afraid, take the test anytime. It's okay if you don't pass, anyway, our Little Peach Blossom is the best," Yin Qing encouraged.

"Yes, it's normal for our little peach blossom to have gotten into such a good school." Lin Guangsheng had a lot of confidence in his daughter.

One of the couple was confident, while the other, though humble, also exuded confidence. Xiao Taohua, on the other hand, maintained a calm attitude throughout, thinking that it was just an exam and nothing to worry about.

“Brother Li Zhen also has to take the exam, as does Song Yi, and many other people,” Little Peach Blossom said.

"Yes, I hope they can get good results too. If they pass the exam, you can all go to the same place." Yin Qing was thinking a lot. Her daughter wanted to go to the capital to see the world, and they were worried about her going alone. If everyone they knew in the production team passed the exam, they wouldn't be afraid. They could even use sheer numbers to make the locals back down!

Besides, people still value college students a lot these days.

"Yes, they'll definitely all pass the exam." Little Peach Blossom had a lot of confidence in the people she knew.

"Go to bed early tonight, don't be late tomorrow. Mom will cook your favorite dishes for you these next few days, and don't forget your exam notes..." Yin Qing kept nagging beside her, feeling that she was more nervous than her daughter about the exam.

Little Peach Blossom and Lin Guangsheng listened without any intention of disturbing Yin Qing. Little Peach Blossom even looked at her mother with a happy expression.

The thought of leaving her parents after getting accepted into university made Xiao Taohua a little reluctant, but it didn't matter. She was growing up and wanted to see the world.

During the college entrance examination, everyone is completely focused on the exam, and everything takes a backseat to it. No matter what happens, everything is postponed until after the exam.

Soon, the first college entrance examination ended, and all that was left was to wait—to receive the scores and the university admission notices.

After the college entrance examination, Xiao Taohua's place was bustling with people every day, all coming to check their answers. Besides checking answers, they also wanted to find out which university Xiao Taohua had applied to, so they would have some idea of ​​what was going on.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that everyone in those sheds has been picked up by someone!

The whole production team was bustling with activity!

"I didn't expect that they would actually need someone to pick them up. I thought those people were going to live here forever."

"Haha, the people who came to pick us up are all important figures, and they can be considered important figures from our Xiaolin Village."

"That's right, our Xiaolin Village has been so good to them, do you think they won't give anything back? I heard some of them are quite wealthy."

"What do you think? There will definitely be a reward. Hey, the people in our Xiaolin Village are the best. They don't bully people. You don't know about some production teams. They're just inhuman. Few people who went there survived. But look at us here, everyone is alive and well, and they look healthy. They even walk with a spring in their step!"
