Chapter 122 The Child Has Been Found?
Both of them felt they did well on the three days of the college entrance examination.
For Jiang Xixi, everything was fine except for math, which was a bit difficult for her in the last few days. Her English and Chinese were particularly good.
Because she had to entertain foreign guests in her previous life, Jiang Xixi spent some time studying English diligently. In this new life, with a much broader perspective, her writing skills have naturally become more profound.
Mathematics is Wei Laicheng's comfort zone. Although he is not very good at subjects like Chinese, politics, and history, he has improved a lot under Jiang Xixi's intensive training.
So when the two of them left the examination room, they had smiles on their faces and looked very composed.
And this is an eyesore to some people.
Clearly, Wang Xuan is one, and Zhang Xiaomi is another.
When the college entrance examination was first reinstated, the questions were not very difficult, taking into account the basic knowledge of most people. However, even with such difficulty, it was still very challenging for these educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for several years, and some even for almost ten years.
Wang Xuan, on the other hand, had already been working in the countryside in Jianguo Brigade for eight years. Her academic performance in high school was only average, and she hadn't touched a book for eight years, so the result was obvious.
"Xixi, how could you do this? You clearly have the ability to help everyone, why are you so selfish?" Wang Xuan used the name of all the educated youth to condemn Jiang Xixi and her husband.
The two were about to go home for a celebratory meal prepared by their teacher's wife when they were suddenly stopped by this person and overheard these words.
Jiang Xixi said she was speechless.
"What do I have to do with you? Why should I help you? Don't be so arrogant all the time, acting like everyone owes you something." After saying that, Jiang Xixi tried to walk past Wang Xuan, but unexpectedly, this person grabbed her arm directly.
"Jiang Xixi, you're so heartless. We're all educated youth sent to the countryside. Shouldn't we help each other? You clearly have so many review materials at home, but you won't share one with us. If you were a little kinder, maybe we would all have done well on the exam today, which would have brought honor to our Jianguo Brigade, wouldn't it?"
Wang Xuan's words, that she was not the only one who failed the college entrance examination, attracted a lot of attention, especially from those educated youth who clearly did not do well.
"Hmph, I knew she wasn't a good person. I asked her for my college entrance exam study materials before, and she even asked us for money. She's shameless."
"Hey, everyone, don't say that. Maybe they don't even know how they did on the exam, that's why they're so excited. After all, ignorance is bliss, right?" These words came from Liu Ju, who was gossiping about the young couple at the village entrance.
Her expression at that moment was particularly striking, twisted with disbelief and filled with resentment.
Jiang Xixi laughed, a laugh born of anger.
Seriously, shamelessness knows no bounds!
"You're getting more and more shameless every day. What, you think you can just say whatever you want? I spent a lot of effort to buy those materials, why should I give them to you for free? Just because you're so arrogant? You want to be a beggar every day, but you still have to pull a veil of shame on yourself. I've never seen such a shameless person before."
"I think none of you need to take the college entrance exam. You can make a name for yourselves with your thick skin. After all, in your eyes, everyone in the world is your parent and owes you something!" Jiang Xixi's sarcastic tone made the eyes of these educated youths redden.
Many of the more shy people covered their faces and left after hearing the story, leaving the remaining few standing there, their expressions alternating between pale and flushed, a truly fascinating sight.
"Don't be so smug. I don't believe you can do well on the exam. And even if you can pass, can your husband pass? It's ridiculous. We, the real high school students, can't pass, but this rural guy next to you who only graduated from junior high school can?"
"Wei Laicheng, have you thought this through? Jiang Xixi got into university, will she still be able to come back? Don't end up losing your wife and having no one to cry to." These words were spoken by Liu Ju, her tone clearly intended to sow discord.
"You don't need to worry about that," Wei Laicheng chuckled lightly, replying casually.
"Honey, let's hurry up and go, or your teacher's wife will be getting impatient waiting for us to eat." After saying that, Wei Laicheng pulled Jiang Xixi and started to walk out.
Wang Xuan, who was standing next to her, was still unwilling to give up and tried to stop Jiang Xixi. However, Jiang Xixi turned around cleverly and avoided her.
Wang Xuan couldn't stop her lunge and fell face-first to the ground.
It snowed heavily a couple of days ago, and today the weather has warmed up, so the snow on the ground has melted into slush. This fall can be said to have completely ruined Wang Xuan's reputation.
"Waaaaah~" Wang Xuan spat out a mouthful of dirty water with a "plop," feeling the unbearable taste in her mouth. Looking down at her new cotton-padded jacket, which she had just worn that morning, she saw that it was now soaked with dirty water. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Jiang Xixi and her companion, who were almost at the school gate, stopped in their tracks and continued walking forward after hearing her crying.
After vaguely witnessing this scene, Wang Xuan cried even more bitterly.
In the end, a few kind-hearted female educated youths who were with her couldn't bear to see her like that and helped her up and out of the school. As for Liu Ju, who was working with her, and Zhang Xiaomi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, they had already left when no one was paying attention after seeing Wang Xuan's embarrassing moment.
...
As soon as they reached the intersection near their teacher's wife's house, Jiang Xixi and her companion spotted a familiar figure.
"Master, what are you doing here?" Wei Laicheng took two steps forward and helped the old man up, worried that he might fall since the snow had just melted.
"Hmph, it's all because of your master's wife. She insisted that I come to pick you up. I didn't even get to take my afternoon nap before I was kicked out to wait for you," Master Jiang said with a hint of complaint.
"By the way, how did you do on your exams? Will you be able to get into the capital? Then your teacher and I won't have to travel all that way to see you."
Hearing the old man's insincere words of concern, the young couple exchanged a smile and said, "We definitely can."
The three of them arrived at the Jiang family home chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered, Mrs. Jiang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise.
He wiped his hand immediately and came out with a big smile.
"Xixi, Laicheng, please sit down. Your teacher's wife has cooked a lot of your favorite dishes today. Please eat more later," Mrs. Jiang said warmly.
Looking at the familiar dishes, Jiang Xixi was touched. Her parents couldn't remember what dishes she liked to eat, but her teacher's wife remembered them all.
Wei Laicheng, standing next to him, didn't think much of it and immediately launched into his usual praise-filled mode.
"Wow, this braised eggplant is amazing! Madam, your cooking skills are truly exceptional. I've been craving it ever since I last had it."
"That's right, this braised pork ribs is even better than what restaurant chefs make. You're amazing, Mrs. Chef."
The young couple took turns saying things, making Mrs. Jiang beam with joy.
After the meal, the master and his wife called the young couple into the main room, intending to tell them about some things in the capital. Unexpectedly, the moment they stepped into the room, the telephone in the main room rang.
Mrs. Jiang answered the phone, and before she could speak, she heard a choked voice coming from the other end.
"Jiaxin, the child has been found!"
The phone fell from Mrs. Jiang's hand instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.
