The second son isn't married yet, and he's quick and agile, so he'll definitely sign up. Eldest son's wife, what about you? What are your thoughts?

As Sheng Liancheng spoke, his gaze fell upon Zhou Qinglan and her husband, Zhou Mingyuan.

Just as Zhou Mingyuan was about to speak, Wang Chunxiu reached out and nudged him. Then, Zhou Qinglan spoke first.

"Dad, Mom, should I not sign up?"

My two children, Xinyu and Xinyu, are just a month old. Taking care of them is exhausting enough. I don't have time to study or review. Taking the exam would be pointless and a waste of my time.

Besides, even if he passed the exam, I couldn't go to school. Xinyu is so young; I can't bear to leave him behind.

In that afternoon, Zhou Qinglan had convinced herself that no matter how good the opportunity was, nothing was more important than her family.

She is married with a loving husband and two innocent and adorable sons. She is doing well now and doesn't ask for much. Living a good life is better than anything else.

"What the heck? Honey, say it again? Why didn't you register? Why didn't you take the test?"

"Go take your exams and go to school. There are so many people at home, can't you take care of Xinyu?"

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiping exploded upon hearing this.

Are you kidding me? So all that effort he put in, all that searching for materials and constantly urging them to study, was for nothing in the end?

So what if you have a family and children? Does that mean you can't study?

Who says that once a woman gets married, she has to stay at home for the rest of her life and can't go out?

The world outside is so vast, why not take the opportunity to explore and see it for yourself? No, absolutely not.

"No, you have to listen to me on this. You and the second son both go and register. Study if you need to, and take the exam if you need to."

If you two both pass the exam, I'd be happy to throw a three-day feast at our house.

Don't worry, child, Mom and I are here. We'll definitely take good care of you.

Before Sheng Liancheng could even speak, Sheng Xiping launched into a long, rapid-fire monologue.

Sheng Liancheng opened his mouth, but swallowed back all the words he was about to say.

Immediately afterward, Sheng Liancheng glanced at Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu.

Seeing the couple's shocked and moved expressions, Sheng Liancheng could only sigh.

“In-laws, Qinglan is not only our Sheng family’s daughter-in-law, but also your daughter. The college entrance examination is a major event in her life. You two should also talk about it.”

Zhou Mingyuan opened his mouth to speak again, but Wang Chunxiu pushed him aside once more.

"Well, Qinglan is, after all, a daughter who has married into the family, and she's your daughter-in-law. This matter mainly depends on what your in-laws and Xiping think."

Since you all agree to let her sign up, then let her give it a try.

If you don't agree to her signing up, that's fine. Next time there's a job opening, let my husband Zhou figure out a way to get a spot so Qinglan can become a full-time employee.

Anyway, once she finishes university, she'll get a stable job. Even if she doesn't go, we'll still have jobs, so it's fine.

Wang Chunxiu's words were perfectly tactful; everything depended on the Sheng family, and they would help in any way they could.

Whether they take the exam or not, whether they pass or not, with Zhou Mingyuan around, the young couple's life is sure to be good.

"Xiping, I really didn't plan to take the exam," Zhou Qinglan said weakly, tugging at Sheng Xiping's sleeve.

"No, we have to try. It's one thing if we don't pass, but what if we do?"

Even if a substitute teacher gets promoted to a permanent position, it's still not comparable to a university graduate. Listen to me, study hard, and let's try taking the exam.” Sheng Xiping insisted on his opinion.

“I only graduated from junior high school. I haven’t been studying for too long, and I’ve completely forgotten everything I learned in school. Otherwise, I would have taken the exam with you.”

In fact, when the college entrance examination was first reinstated, the requirements were relaxed to include junior high school graduates.

But Sheng Xiping has not touched a book in decades, spanning both his lives.

What he learned back then is long gone. Ask him to take an exam? He'll hand in a blank paper? Don't embarrass him.

"Yes, Qinglan, listen to your man, let's register for the exam. It's just the college entrance exam, right? Mom believes in your abilities, you'll definitely pass."

"Don't worry about things at home. I'll take care of Xinyu; there won't be any problems." Zhang Shuzhen also expressed her opinion on the other end.

Nominally, the Sheng family is run by Sheng Liancheng and his wife, but in reality, it is Sheng Xiping who has the final say.

Sheng Xiping was adamant that Zhou Qinglan should take the college entrance examination, so what could Zhang Shuzhen say?

That's ultimately a matter between the couple; as their in-laws, they can only support them, not interfere.

If the daughter-in-law really passes the exam, the Sheng family will be honored and proud.

As for coaxing the child, even if the daughter-in-law doesn't take exams or go to university, does that mean Zhang Shuzhen doesn't need to coax the child?

Zhou Qinglan is so busy with work, so most of the time, isn't it Zhang Shuzhen who takes care of the children?

Is being a grandmother so easy? To be a grandmother, you have to be prepared to pamper your grandchildren.

With his wife and son both speaking up, Sheng Liancheng couldn't very well disagree.

Just as he finished his cigarette, Sheng Liancheng stubbed it out, looked up at his family, and said, "Well, your mother is right. Let's give it a try, see if it works."

Registration is free. Since you've just finished your postpartum period and can't go back to school or work, you can stay home and study. We'll take the exam whenever it's scheduled.

With the head of the household speaking, the matter is now settled.

"It's getting late, the power will run out soon, everyone should rest."

Second brother, ask the construction team for leave later. Starting tomorrow, stay home and study.

Sheng Liancheng glanced at the clock on the wall. There were still ten minutes until nine o'clock, when the power would go out. He should hurry up and go to sleep.
