The two of them hadn't saved much in the past two years, only 50 yuan each. If they were to use that 50 yuan to express their gratitude, it wasn't that they were stingy, but that they were underestimating the Zhong siblings. Besides, the Zhong siblings really didn't need that 50 yuan.
With Zhong Wanwan gone, Zhong Songbai didn't know how to praise the two girls, so he just smiled.
"It's good that you have this intention. This was my sister's instruction, and I just did as she said!"
"However, there's something I need to ask of you both. You can keep this to yourselves, but you can't tell even your family. Can you promise that?"
Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong looked at each other, and Li Jing spoke first:
“My relationship with my family has become increasingly distant since I went to the countryside. Even if I notify them, they won’t believe me. There’s no need to go through all that trouble. It would not only bring trouble to Master Zhong, but I wouldn’t be able to escape it myself!”
Yang Xiaohong also quickly expressed her opinion:
"My siblings and I get along well, but none of us are very good at studying. I only managed to keep up because Xia Ning was there. My brother and sister, even if they studied ahead of time, or even if they were given special opportunities, would have a very hard time passing the exam!"
With their assurances, Zhong Songbai felt relieved. He didn't want his good intentions to cause trouble for Zhong Wanwan.
If it weren't for Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning saying that Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong were good people, Zhong Songbai wouldn't have agreed, Xia Ning told the two of them.
Xia Ning and Xiao Baiyang whispered to each other on the side. Xia Ning:
"What do you think about us studying together? That way, we can do the work together and have more free time!"
Xiao Baiyang strongly agrees:
"I think it's fine. My brother does much more housework than I do. Although he's already learned a lot, there's always someone better, and there's always something more to learn. We should learn as much as we can!"
Xia Ning completely agreed with this. She and Zhong Wanwan often studied together, and in the beginning, Zhong Wanwan had the best grasp of high school knowledge.
In recent years, Zhong Wanwan has focused more on professional knowledge, but Zhong Songbai has surpassed her and has mastered the high school curriculum better than Zhong Wanwan!
If we also consider the essay writing and politics subjects that Zhong Wanwan is not good at, she might not be able to outperform Xiao Baiyang.
Zhong Wanwan: Is it my fault that I can't adapt to the writing and politics of this era?
This matter required Xia Ning's suggestion:
"I have a suggestion. We're all learning about the same level, so why don't we study together? That way, we can divide the work more easily and free up more time! Plus, we'll be more motivated to study together. What do you guys think?"
Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong naturally had no objections. Their review progress was not even as good as Xiao Pangui and Xia Ning's, let alone Zhong Songbai and Xiao Baiyang!
They studied together, and when they didn't understand something, someone asked them questions. They really benefited!
As for their reputation, well, ever since they moved out of the educated youth compound, their reputation has never been good, thanks to the rumors spread by those former educated youth.
There are plenty of lice, but that's not a problem at all!
They both nodded in unison:
"We're definitely fine with this. It's a good thing for us. We can ask you for help if we don't know something!"
Xiao Baiyang quickly looked at Zhong Songbai, who glanced at the boy sideways and agreed:
"Okay, you can all come to my house to study, and we'll review together."
Little White Poplar darted out, eager to tell Little Pan Gui the good news.
In the end, the group did not study at the Zhong family's house, but went to the Bai family's house instead.
Grandma Bai was a perceptive person; after learning about this, she made the final decision:
“Come and learn at our house, right here in the main room. With this old lady here, no one will dare to gossip about you!”
"If there are any blind fools out there, I'll have that Wei kid take me to the leaders again, and let's see who dares to slander the families of martyrs!"
Grandma Bai: Anyone who dares to delay my precious granddaughter's college entrance exam, I'll treat them to a government-funded meal!
