During this time, Tingting and Jianjun have been taking care of the children's studies and exams, and haven't paid attention to what's going on outside.

"Have you heard? Jianjun and Tingting's family members have all gone to take the exam."

“I heard about it. I heard how quickly they reacted. Jianjun took his child and went straight to register.”

"That's right, they bought the books really fast, then went back and closed the door, and didn't come out again."

"That's right, but I remember that Jianjun and his wife weren't very educated either; they didn't study much back then."

"They probably all hope their children will be successful, but they don't even consider that several of their children could actually get into university."

"There are quite a few people in this village who have gone to school, but we've never heard of this couple before. They've never been to school."

"That's right, Chengcai is already 24, and we haven't even found him a partner yet. This has really delayed his career."

"If you ask me, it's not even your own property, so you don't care about it."

"Yes, that's true. Chengcai has grown up well over the years and is hardworking. So many people want to introduce him to potential partners, but Tingting just won't agree."

"Maybe they're afraid of spending money. Look at how these days, getting married requires a bicycle and all sorts of things. It's no wonder they're worried."

"So, that's the answer. If you ask me, these kids haven't studied it, so it's a waste of their registration fees to take the exam."

"What you said, it would have been better to give those books to the villagers; it would have been a waste to give them to them."

The whole village knew about this, and Tingting naturally heard about it too.

Of course, I'm currently waiting for the results and have no time to argue with them.

"Brother Guo, have you heard what people in the village are saying? Everyone's talking about Jianjun's family."

"Go ahead and say it. All our children are married now, so you can relax."

"We're talking about exams, aren't we? I've never heard of those two being good at studying. So what are these five kids doing?"

“Jianjun went to school, but his family ran out of money and he stopped studying.”

"And also, this has nothing to do with our family. You're just making wild guesses."

"I was just curious, you don't seem to care about anything all day."

Guo Laoda didn't say anything. His younger brother had helped him a lot over the years, so why bother thinking about such things?

"Guo Lao Er, have you heard about what's going on in this village?"

"I heard about it. So what if they have exams? If they do well, then we do well too."

"Jianjun and his wife have always valued family ties, and they have nothing but praise for us two brothers."

"Alright, alright, you guys are the best, I'll say as little as I can."

While they were taking the exam, so many things happened at home that Tingting and Jianjun had no idea about.

Everything at home is normal now; the kids are eating and drinking as usual.

The children originally wanted to go out and play, but as soon as they stepped outside, the village women started asking them all sorts of questions.

What? I heard you went to take an exam. Do you know how to do it?

How did you all study? How did you feel about the test? I had to ask each of these kids the same question.

No one ever thought Jianjun could teach a few children anything, even though Jianjun had gone to school, but that was many years ago.

Everyone's waiting for the results to come out so they can make fun of them.

The children got quite annoyed by the questions and decided not to go out, including Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu.

Sometimes when they see their older brother not going out, they ask the two of them why.

Jianjun's older brothers, parents, and other relatives are all staying at home now, because they also think he can't pass the exam. From their words, it's clear they're all mocking him.

When I get angry, I won't go out anymore; I'm going to hibernate.
