Because if they were in their shoes, they would also find it incomprehensible that Fu Xiuchun did what she did.

It's unbelievable that someone would sell their job to study.

Why go to school?

Isn't it all about studying more so you can find a good job?

But Fu Xiuchun's current job isn't bad either. In a while, as long as she is rated as excellent, she will be able to apply for a housing subsidy from the factory.

If she leaves now, she won't get anything in return. The factory is more than happy for Fu Xiuchun to leave.

It was half a month later when the people of Xishan Village learned that Fu Hongguo and Fu Xiuchun had sold their jobs. Upon hearing the news, some felt regret, while others secretly rejoiced.

However, regardless of what outsiders say.

Those few people truly managed to become completely oblivious to what was happening around them.

In November of 1977, the college entrance examination was officially held.

Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing registered the four children early on and prepared everything so that they could take the exam without any worries.

After all, they were all studying on their own. Although Fu Hongguo also provided the review materials to the county school, he also took the opportunity to ask the teachers at the school about some questions he didn't understand.

Unfortunately, those teachers' understanding of those questions was even worse than Fu Hongguo's.

Fu Hongguo had no choice but to give up. After returning home, he discussed the issue with his two younger sisters and his eldest niece.

Four cobblers with their wits combined can equal one Zhuge Liang.

Unexpectedly, the discussions actually solved many difficult problems.

From then on, the four of them would often get together to discuss and help each other with any questions they didn't understand.

They get up at 5 a.m. every day. After lunch, the eldest sister-in-law insists that the four of them not pick up books immediately, but must rest for an hour before reading. Around 10 p.m., she requires them to go to bed on time.

We try our best to make sure they get enough nutrition in their daily meals. Even the youngest children, Xiangxi and Xiangbei, tiptoe home from school to avoid disturbing the other four children's studies.

So when the college entrance examination began, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to live like thieves.

This year's college entrance examination requires four subjects. If you are applying for a foreign language major, you will need to take an additional foreign language exam.

The city organized a unified exam with set questions. Fu Hongguo and Fu Xiumei took the science exam, while Fu Xiuchun and Zhang Xiaofeng took the humanities exam.

The four people entered with very solemn expressions.

We've been preparing for this moment for so long.

But after the actual exam, I felt as if I had been reborn, as if I had been given a new lease on life.

Ning Jing stepped forward with a pained expression, without asking how they had done on the exam, so as not to add pressure to them.

If it really doesn't work out, she's already made up her mind that she can just study for another year and take the exam again.

Fu Hongguo felt quite good about his exam results. He had discussed most of the questions on the exam with his classmates beforehand.

Therefore, he had a lot of confidence in Xiuchun, Xiumei, and Xiaofeng.

Even if they don't get the best, their grades are definitely above average.

However, he was afraid that if he said it, he would be accused of being too immodest, so he didn't say it.

Xiuchun was very confident in her exam results, but Xiumei and Xiaofeng were quite worried.

At home, the two of them had the most questions they didn't understand.

Many questions sometimes require Fu Hongguo to explain them repeatedly before they can understand them.
