Sure enough, after dinner, the whole family came to the ward again, bringing dinner for the two of them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hua Guangzong wake up; this hurdle had been overcome.

They hadn't even sat for a few more minutes when the two elders joined forces to send them home, saying that nothing was more important than studying now.

Hua Zhiping, carrying books, arrived at the Jiang family's house with Li Lijuan.

"We'll leave the child with the Li family. We'll leave the rest to you." Hua Zhiping didn't know how capable his sister and brother-in-law were, but he had heard Zhi'an say that they could answer any question he asked with ease.

The two elderly people wanted them to take the exam, so they decided to give it a try, thinking they might actually pass.

Besides, what does it matter if they are older? I've heard that many of the educated youth who went to the countryside were even older than them, and they all wanted to give it their all.

"Remember to register early tomorrow," Hua Xiangyun reminded them. "Should we ask the factory for leave?"

Hua Zhiping said, "Let's register first. I don't know if your sister-in-law and I meet the requirements."

Thinking about this gave him a headache. Would he be laughed at by others?

Many people in the factory took leave to prepare for the exam. If they passed, that would be fine, but if they failed, I don't know if people would laugh at them.

Li Lijuan said, "I'm doing a little better. Luckily, the younger sister I hired to cover my shift can continue doing it. But your older brother's job is really a headache. It's not certain that we can find someone to cover for him."

Some things can be learned quickly with a little instruction, but some technical things can be quite difficult.

Hua Zhiping is one of those people who has some technical skills. In the past, the factory would definitely have had someone fill in for him, but recently too many people have taken leave, so they simply can't keep up.

He might have to go back to work at the factory and can only use his spare time to study.

Hua Xiangyun was helpless in this situation and could only hope that her eldest brother's constitution would be better than her second brother's.

Give them the same test paper first, so we can get a good understanding of their abilities before we can provide them with assistance.

Besides, she's not omnipotent; while helping them review, she also needs to do more practice questions herself.

While they were busy running around, many people in the compound also picked up their textbooks again.

Many families sold their old textbooks as waste paper because they thought they took up too much space. Now, it's extremely difficult to find them.

As a result, the Hua siblings were targeted by everyone. In addition to them going to the Hua family for help, some people also mobilized the elderly in the family, trying to use personal connections to persuade them to help.

Seeing the endless stream of neighbors visiting, Tian Guihua had no choice but to postpone the old man's discharge from the hospital.

“We only have two sets of study materials at home, and the brothers and sisters-in-law take turns looking at them.” Tian Guihua had no idea where these people got their information and how they were so sure that they had extra materials. Didn’t they even consider how many of them were studying and preparing for the exam?

“We know it’s asking too much, but these days, any high school textbook that’s even remotely related is in high demand.” Liu Tiezhu was really willing to put aside his pride for his grandson today. “I heard that Xiangyun is doing very well in school. I wonder if we could let our son follow in their footsteps and learn from her?”

Sister-in-law, don't worry, our boy will just be quietly reading and doing practice problems. He'll only ask questions when he doesn't understand something; he definitely won't bother them.

Tian Guihua rolled her eyes. Did she really think she was uneducated and didn't know the loopholes in this? You only ask questions because you don't understand. Who knows how much you don't understand?

If they ask ten questions in an hour, do my kids still need to study?

"It's not that I don't want to help you," Tian Guihua said, waving her hand as she saw that the others were also looking at her with the same expectant eyes. "How can my girl help so many people by herself? You know my two grandsons are as stupid as pigs. They don't understand many things, and now they're making so much noise that their sister doesn't have time to study."

My two silly boys have pinned all their hopes on their sister; they're practically ready to move in with the Jiang family.

You said there are four of us in the family waiting, and Xiangyun only has one mouth, how can she teach so much? Why don't you go to the school and ask?

How can a little girl compare to those teachers at school?

"If the school teachers were willing to offer classes and provide tutoring together, I'm prepared to send all my children there."

Hua Xiangyun had considered this possibility and had mentioned it to Tian Guihua long ago. She thought it would be better if everyone could persuade the school teachers to give them extra lessons than if they were being watched by others.

It's not that she's selfish, but she doesn't have any teaching experience either, and we don't want to be held back by her.

"I doubt the school teachers would agree," Liu Tiezhu thought to himself. If the school teachers were willing to help, that would be great.

After all, the teacher has experience. No matter how well Hua Xiangyun studies, it's still because of the teacher's teaching.

Tian Guihua gave him a disdainful look. If it weren't for these old guys helping her family before, she really wouldn't want to get involved.

"What's the big deal? When you need someone's help, you have to show them the right attitude. You can't use the old methods on teachers anymore."

"You mean we should prepare a gift and send it over? Would they agree to that?" Liu Tiezhu was already considering what he had at home.

Tian Guihua rolled her eyes at him, "What are you all thinking? Who would dare accept a gift at a time like this?"

Do you understand the importance of attitude? When asking for help, you must be sincere. Aren't the teachers in schools now your children's teachers from the past? There must be some connection between you and them, right?

Let the children handle it; you adults can then have a proper talk with the principal. After all, the school has to agree for the teachers to agree, otherwise, where will all these children be placed? Can your family even accommodate them all?

Liu Tiezhu and the others suddenly realized that what he said made perfect sense.

They stopped bothering Tian Guihua and started to gather a group of people to walk towards the school.

Tian Guihua quickly drank a couple of sips of water to calm her nerves, and then ran to the Jiang family's house next door.

"They've all gone to school," Tian Guihua immediately reported upon seeing Hua Xiangyun. "Do you think the school will agree?"

Hua Xiangyun said, "Don't worry, we're not the only ones who have thought of this. The school might already be considering this issue."

Even if she hadn't brought up this idea, there are many smart people in the world who just temporarily went astray.

The teachers provide more comprehensive instruction, and with such a large venue, more people can benefit.

"That's good," Tian Guihua breathed a sigh of relief. "Over the years, the teacher has suffered too many injustices, and it's time for her to finally stand up for herself."

Hopefully, the school principal won't be so foolish as to do their work for free; they should at least expect something in return.

Hua Xiangyun sighed, "That's impossible..." For so many years, everyone has lived in fear. Although they are much more relaxed now, who would dare to commit a crime against the wind?

Selflessness is a unique quality of people in this era.
