Just as Hua Xiangyun had predicted, the school reacted even faster than they had.

Just as a group of people were getting together and wanted to ask for help, the school posted a notice first.

Several classes will be held every evening, and anyone taking the college entrance examination can attend.

The school also borrowed textbooks from the current year's high school students. After class started, everyone could copy the textbooks there, but they couldn't take them out, since the students had to attend class the next day.

But this meant many people would have to stay up all night. I thought they would back down, but to my surprise, everyone happily agreed.

So what if I stay up all night copying textbooks? At worst, my days and nights are reversed, but it's still better than not having any books at all.

As a result, the school began to open 24 hours a day, which increased the workload for teachers, forcing them to reschedule.

Hua Guangzong was observed in the hospital for a few days and was fine. He has returned home. "Would you like to go and listen to a lecture as well?"

Hua Xiangyun and the others had the same idea; they wanted to see if the teacher's explanation was more in-depth.

“We’ll just attend the lectures, we won’t stay up all night there,” Jiang Yi said, explaining the decision they had made. After all, working night shifts would take a toll on their health.

He wouldn't have wanted his wife to get involved in this if it weren't to shut these people up later.

This is also a way of telling everyone that, after all, they also need to learn and are not omnipotent.

"It would be good for them to study," Tian Guihua also felt that it was definitely not as good as listening to a teacher's lectures as it was for the children to study behind closed doors.

"I heard from them that schools are now open to anyone who wants to study."

I heard the classrooms are overflowing, and many people are using stools in the aisles to listen. If you're going, go early, and remember to bring a stool from home.

Hua Zhian: "...Is it really that exaggerated?"

"This is nothing to exaggerate. I heard that some people couldn't squeeze in and could only listen from afar. After class, they would ask others what they had learned." These days, Tian Guihua talks about these kinds of topics all the time. She knows a lot more than those of them who study behind closed doors.

"Sigh, it's been so many years since the college entrance exam was reopened. Almost everyone who could register has already done so. I don't even know if we have any hope of passing." Hua Zhian lacked confidence. Among the students studying together, he had the worst foundation.

Even his older brother and sister-in-law, who hadn't touched a textbook in years, were far ahead of him.

More than once I've regretted not paying more attention in class.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tian Guihua originally wanted to slap the back of her head, but ended up slapping her on the shoulder instead.

This kid is already stupid enough; if he gets any stupider, he probably won't have any chance at all.

"Don't tell me such discouraging things. If you don't get into university, you'll be watching others sit in offices while you're still doing manual labor."

After Tian Guihua finished speaking, she looked at Xie Lanqiao with a loving expression and said, "You should study hard for the exam. If you get into university, you won't have to worry about finding a job. If this kid isn't ambitious, Grandma will support you in dumping him and finding someone who shares your interests."

Hua Zhian, "...Grandma, I'm your own grandson..."

Tian Guihua said, "I didn't say you weren't related, but if you continue to be so unambitious, do you think you're good enough for your wife?"

She's spurring him on, doesn't she understand? He's hopelessly stupid.

Hua Xiangyun turned her head to the side and chuckled to herself.

The second brother is the one with the worst financial foundation in the family and also the least attentive. Grandma is giving him a wake-up call, which is for his own good.

Seeing Hua Zhian's silly look, Xie Lanqiao tugged at his sleeve, "Grandma is just joking with you..."

“I know,” Hua Zhian said in a low voice that everyone could hear. “Isn’t this just to make Grandma happy? Otherwise, it’s been too boring at home these past few days. Apart from studying and eating, we hardly talk to each other.”

Now that the whole family is here, we should naturally try to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Everyone, "..."

When they went to school that night, they discovered that the situation was even more exaggerated than Tian Guihua had described.

The school opened three classes, and I heard that even the principal came to teach, but it still wasn't enough.

The three classrooms were already packed with people, and even the aisles and windows were crowded with people.

They brought stools and were considered to have arrived relatively early, but there wasn't even a place to put their feet.

"Don't bother looking, there aren't any empty seats," Liu Fengyi, who had arrived a little earlier than them, waved them aside, "I arrived an hour earlier than you and still couldn't squeeze in."

"This is outrageous! Are there really that many people taking the exam?" Upon seeing his old classmate, Hua Zhian quickly went over. The two of them stood head to head, tiptoeing around to look for a seat, but there really wasn't an empty one.

"Do you think that's all? This is only part of it. Many people have given up and are studying at home on their own."

Over the years, how many high school students have there been in each batch?

Everyone wants to take a chance; if they're lucky and pass the exam, it's much better than working in a factory.

Those who could take leave did so, and those who couldn't take leave asked for substitutes to cover their shifts.

By the way, how's your job?

Hua Zhian: "I also asked someone to cover my shift. Too many people are asking for leave, so they simply won't let me. What about you?"

“I also hired someone to help me get to work,” Liu Fengyi said, also wanting to give it a shot. “Why haven’t I seen you here before? What’s wrong? Did you find a good place to study?”

If there were other options, he wouldn't want to be crammed in here.

Hua Zhian kept his younger sister's advice in mind: "It would be great if I could find a place to study. I'm always staying at home and reading books by myself. I always feel that there are still many things I don't understand, so I wanted to come and see if I could learn more."

Hearing this, Liu Fengyi was also somewhat disappointed. What could he possibly learn?

Those who don't understand will still not understand; how can they possibly comprehend it now?

"Why do you think they arrived so early?" Hua Zhian asked.

Liu Fengyi said in a low voice, "They didn't go back at all. Go to the school playground later and take a look. There are sheds all over the area under the trees. They rest there during the day when they have classes, and they come over to sit in on the classes when they wake up."

These people are absolutely insane. They not only listen to evening classes, but also to daytime classes for first and second-year high school students.

As for meals, that's even easier to explain. Three meals a day are delivered from home. The dishes and chopsticks are left unwashed; the person is completely absorbed in the task.

Hua Zhian: "...It's over. I'm thinking, I don't think I can beat them."

Liu Fengyi shared the same sentiment, saying, "I feel the same way. I couldn't stand living and eating here all the time."

Hua Zhian, "I wonder if you can hear the teacher's voice while you're sitting here?"

Liu Fengyi: "What are you thinking about? Even if the teacher shouts at the top of his lungs, I can't hear him."

But how can I just go back like this? My dad would break my legs.

In his own words, "Others can listen, but you can't?"
