In 1977, after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came.
Huang Qinqin decisively ended her ten-year marriage with Xu Jingui.
Because they were all business partners, Huang Qinqin treated them to a meal after receiving their divorce certificates.
If we were to ask who in the Xu family would be the most reluctant to part with Huang Qinqin.
Then it has to be Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao.
When Huang Qinqin first moved in, Xu Dabao thought she really was his stepmother and was very resistant to her.
But gradually, Xu Dabao realized that their lives hadn't changed much after Huang Qinqin came over.
Even more so because most people don't know that Xu Jingui and Huang Qinqin are a couple in name only.
They were never again called motherless wild children by anyone.
When they got a little older, Huang Qinqin started teaching them to read.
Xu Dabao gradually realized that there seemed to be something fishy about her marriage with Xu Jingui.
When Huang Qinqin married into the family, Xu Xiaobao was still young and once called her "Mom".
It terrified Huang Qinqin.
Then she kept explaining to them that she wasn't their mother.
Over the past ten years, Huang Qinqin has taught them to study and to understand principles.
Xu Dabao would tell Huang Qinqin immediately whenever something happened at school or outside.
He discovered that Huang Qinqin was the only one in the family who could distinguish right from wrong.
If he tells others about it, then it doesn't matter who is right or wrong.
Ultimately, the other party will be held responsible.
So when they suddenly heard Huang Qinqin say she was leaving, Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao were both very reluctant to see her go.
But they also knew that Huang Qinqin would leave sooner or later.
Before they had even finished eating, Huang Jianguo had already arrived at the state-run restaurant to pick up Huang Qinqin and take her home.
Huang Qinqin finally raised her glass and toasted them with tea instead of wine.
"I've troubled you for the past ten years. Thank you for agreeing to cooperate with me back then, which spared me the hardship of going to the countryside."
"Salute to you!"
Over the years, Huang Qinqin has also seen many educated youth return to their hometowns one after another.
Without exception, all the educated youth who went to the countryside suffered a significant drop in their overall energy and spirit.
Girls her age, who weren't married or had children yet, looked like they were a generation older than her.
Huang Qinqin put down her teacup and said to them, "I've already paid. Please enjoy your meal."
"I'll head back now. We'll meet again someday."
After saying that, Huang Qinqin left without looking back.
Huang Qinqin pretended not to see the reluctant looks from Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao.
Huang Qinqin really likes the two children.
But no matter how much they like them, it can't hide the fact that their father and grandfather are rotten to the core.
Huang Qinqin did not want to have much contact with them in the future, so she did not want to give Xu Dabao and the others any hope.
If she left decisively, they would understand that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.
Huang Jianguo, sitting on his bicycle, waved to Huang Qinqin: "Little sister, I've come to take you home."
"Okay, let's go home."
......
Although Huang Qinqin and Xu Jingui have divorced, most people in the family compound don't know it.
The Huang family's official statement to the outside world is that Huang Qinqin is going back to her parents' home for a while to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Over the years, Huang Qinqin has helped Xu Jingui cultivate the image of an exceptionally good son-in-law.
So none of the people in the family compound felt anything was wrong.
After Huang Qinqin returned to her parents' home, she lived with Chen Zhaodi and the others, and felt even more at ease.
Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun have both been allocated houses and have moved out with their wives and children.
Therefore, the earliest house of the Huang family was only inhabited by Chen Zhaodi, Huang Eryuan, and Huang Qinqin.
Huang Qinqin's original half-room house has been turned into a whole room.
Huang Qinqin was worried that buying groceries and cooking would affect her studies.
Therefore, Huang Qinqin's three meals a day are either cooked by Huang Jianguo's wife or Huang Jianjun's wife.
Or Chen Zhaodi and the others would get takeout from the steel factory's canteen after get off work.
These carefree days greatly improved Huang Qinqin's study time and efficiency.
When she came out of the examination room, Chen Zhaodi and the others surrounded her, asking if she was hungry or sleepy.
Huang Qinqin noticed that they had asked her everything, but she didn't dare to ask how well she had performed.
Huang Qinqin felt a warmth in her heart, but also a slight urge to laugh.
Huang Qinqin feigned sadness and asked, "Don't you all care how I did on the exam?"
"How could this be!"
"Of course we care!"
"Yes, we were just afraid that you would feel too much pressure and wouldn't dare to ask."
"Besides, the moment I saw you walk out of the exam hall with such a radiant smile, I knew you'd be fine!"
"Tch, anyone can talk big."
Huang Qinqin and the others chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had returned to the family compound.
Upon hearing Huang Jianjun's words, the other residents of the family compound immediately launched into a rant.
"I think you shouldn't have such high hopes."
"After all, there are so many people taking the college entrance exam. Qin is already 28 years old. It would be more appropriate for her to go home and have a baby."
"That's right. Let's not even talk about whether she can get into university. Even if she does, do you think she can just abandon her job and husband to go study?"
"That's right, that's right!"
