The next day was August 15th. Even if Bai Ruozhen didn't want to get up, he still dragged himself up.

Gu Changqing felt a little guilty and helped pass the clothes very diligently.

"It's all your fault." Bai Ruozhen gave him a reproachful look, then stretched out his old arms and legs to put on his clothes.

When they went out, the couple ran into Gu Changsong and his wife. Gu Changsong glanced at Gu Changqing with a half-smile, then shook his head.

"What's wrong with Third Brother?" Bai Ruozhen was puzzled.

Gu Changqing glanced at Gu Changsong thoughtfully and said, "Don't worry about him."

Then when no one was around, Gu Changsong secretly asked Gu Changqing, "Where did you two go last night?"

Gu Changqing glanced at him and said calmly, "Why should I tell you?"

"We are brothers." Gu Changsong said.

Gu Changqing curled his lips and said, "You and the eldest brother are brothers. Why don't you go ask his sister-in-law if she caused any trouble last night?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsong immediately lost his temper and stopped asking.

Fortunately, Song Mei was in confinement and would not go out, so they had a rare peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival this year. In addition, there was news about the college entrance examination, so Qiu Lanying and Gu Zhiguo were very happy and expressed their full support for them to take the college entrance examination.

But Bai Ruozhen also had concerns. After all, Aunt Gu in Yancheng could help take care of the children. If they both really got into college, what would happen to the two children?

Before Bai Ruozhen could even think, Second Uncle Gu said cheerfully, "I've already planned to retire early. Your Second Aunt and I will stay with you to look after the children. You two should study hard and get into university."

Bai Ruozhen was shocked, "How can this be so embarrassing?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Aunt Gu held dumplings in her arms as she fed him. "I can't bear to be separated from you two. Besides, I haven't even been to the capital yet. You must get into a school there so your uncle and I can have a chance to see the city."

Bai Ruozhen pursed her lips and expressed her gratitude to Aunt Gu and his wife. Gu Changqing also quickly raised his glass to toast Uncle Gu and his wife.

Gu Zhiguo, however, felt quite uncomfortable. He patted Second Uncle Gu on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What's the problem?" Uncle Gu thought openly. "We don't have a son, so it's useless to save more money. We might as well help the fifth brother take care of the children while we can still move. When he's old, he'll still remember our kindness."

"You're right. Even if he doesn't help take care of the children, he'll still have to provide for your old age," Qiu Lanying said with a smile. It was thanks to the kindness of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law; other sisters-in-law wouldn't have offered to help with childcare. It wasn't that she didn't want to help with childcare, but she had three sons, and it wouldn't be right to give care to one family and not the other.

Second Uncle Gu raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, come on, we are all family, so we don't need to pay attention to those polite words. My wife and I are just waiting to follow Lao Wu and his wife to the capital to enjoy a good life."

No one said anything about failing the exam. Gu Changqing had good grades when he was in school, so there was no need to worry. Gu Xiaoli also did well in high school. Only Bai Ruozhen and the others didn't know how Bai Ruozhen performed in the past. They even thought that a girl from the provincial capital must be very good at studying.

However, Bai Ruozhen's current academic level is indeed very good. She thinks that even if she can't get into the best school, she should be able to get into an ordinary school.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s time for everyone to return to Yancheng.

Gu Xiaoli said, "I plan to go back and quit my job, and then give it to the daughter of the family that used to take care of the Li family."

Bai Ruozhen looked at her in surprise, "Are you planning to be with Li Xiuming?"

"No," Gu Xiaoli said, "I've made a last-ditch effort in this college entrance exam. The rest depends entirely on our fate. Don't tell Li Xiuming about giving the job to that girl for now."

Bai Ruozhen nodded. She also knew that when the Li family was renovating there, there was a family that often helped them. There was a girl in that family who was just seventeen years old. It would be really nice for her to go to work in the factory.

"Then you should go early and come back early, and we will start reviewing together tomorrow." Bai Ruozhen said.

Gu Xiaoli hummed, "Then do you want to resign?"

Bai Ruozhen thought about it and then shook his head. "Don't resign for now. I don't have much to do working there anyway, and I can still earn a salary. I'll decide after I get the exact news."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoli responded and then went to Penglai. This time she was going to hand over her work and would be back in less than two days. It was rare that the two of them did not show any reluctance to part with tears in their eyes.

Gu Xiaoli returned after two days, carrying a large bag of review materials. She then said, "Li Xiuming sent these to me. Luckily, they arrived today. Otherwise, these books would have been wasted by the time I left."

Bai Ruozhen came over to look through the books with her. Li Xiuming was quite thorough, covering both science and liberal arts. Bai Ruozhen glanced at one of the historical materials and said, "These are good."

Gu Xiaoli took Bai Ruozhen's arm and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, let's apply to the same university. I heard that you have to live on campus during your first year of university. If we can be assigned to the same dormitory, I can take care of you."

Bai Ruozhen was a little embarrassed and said, "I can do it myself now."

"That's different." Gu Xiaoli's eyes were filled with tears. "Every day in Penglai, I was thinking about what I would do if you suffered. I wish I could be by your side every day and never leave."

Bai Ruozhen was very upset. He took Gu Xiaoli's hand and was about to agree when he saw Gu Changqing walking in with his long legs.

Gu Changqing glanced at the two people's clasped hands and snorted, "You two want to apply to the same school? Humph, it's all you want."

Gu Xiaoli glared at him, "Sister Zhenzhen is mine! Mine!"

Gu Changqing curled his lips and said disdainfully, "First of all, she is my wife, and secondly, she is my son's mother. As for you... you are at most my wife's sister-in-law."
