Chapter 158 A sudden change in temperament
The educated youth from Yangliu Village were even more excited. Yang Xiaohong, Li Xue, and Song Jia were also so excited that they burst into tears.
"The college entrance exam is finally back! Oh, all my studying these past few months has paid off!"
Li Qiang shouted excitedly.
"Xu Jun, thank you!"
Li Qiang walked over and hugged Xu Jun. If he had not listened to Xu Jun some time ago, he would not have picked up the textbook and started studying.
Although he only studied for two or three more months, the college entrance examination was only three months away. He had studied twice as much as others.
"It's your own hard work!"
Xu Jun had a gentle expression on his face and was holding a high school English book in his hand.
"Xu Jun, you are our team leader, this is really too much, isn't it?"
Li Xue was furious. Xu Jun was really too much. He knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed this year, but he told Li Qiang but didn't tell her.
Xu Jun ignored Li Xue's words.
Li Qiang couldn't stand it anymore and said to her, "How dare you be so arrogant? Our boss is always reading a book, are you blind?"
"I was led by the boss to start learning, what the hell is it to you?"
Being insulted like this, Li Xue's face turned red: "You, how could you say that to me?"
Yang Hongmei did not complain. She walked up to Xu Jun and asked politely, "Xu Jun, I don't have any high school textbooks. Can I borrow some from you?"
"cannot!"
In fact, Xu Jun has always been easy to talk to. This sudden rejection made Yang Hongmei not know how to respond.
Li Qiang laughed: "I'm sorry, we only have one and a half sets of books. There's not enough for four of us to study together."
The textbooks in Xu Jun's hand were not complete, only half a set. Su Yaxian sent Xia Liang a complete set, as well as some precious test papers, which Xia Liang generously shared.
The four of them studied together, and what they had in hand was barely a complete set and a half.
"you……"
Yang Hongmei was so anxious that she almost cried. She was very excited to know that the college entrance examination would be resumed. She finally saw a way back to the city.
But how can she learn without textbooks?
"Can't you lend me a copy?"
Li Qiang shook his head: "Sorry, we all need it!"
Li Xue angrily said, "We are all educated youth, do you have to be so heartless?"
Li Qiang sneered at this and said, "Sorry, the textbook is not mine. I borrowed it. If you have the ability, go borrow it yourself."
Song Jia's eyes turned red with grievance, but she didn't say anything because she knew it was impossible to borrow teaching materials at this time.
When Xia Liang heard the news that the college entrance examination was resumed, the time was the same as in her previous life, making her feel like she was in a dream.
Compared with others, she spends the most time studying every day.
She had worked as an accountant for many years in her previous life, and statistical work was not tiring for her, only taking one or two hours a day.
As the top leader of the reservoir, Ning Zhiyuan didn't care about her.
She has the most free and ample time. She wants to seize this rare opportunity.
Set a small goal first, and then have fun with the whole top scholar!
By then, I will be famous all over the country and give my master a surprise!
"Xia Liang, can I trouble you with something?"
Seeing the girl shrinking in front of him, Xia Liang had a complicated expression.
She didn't expect Song Jia to come to see her, but in fact she already had the answer in her heart.
"If you want to borrow textbooks, forget it. You know we only have one set of textbooks, and the four of us need them, so we usually don't have any spare time."
Xia Liang said in advance. In her previous life, she had little contact with this girl, but in her memory, Song Jia did not get into college.
It seemed that her original academic performance was not very good. Later, after she learned about the college entrance examination, she also studied hard for a period of time, but the final result was not satisfactory.
Later, Xia Liang returned to the city and there was no news of her.
"Xia Liang, I..."
Song Jia originally wanted to come here to borrow teaching materials, but after Shanliang said that, what else could she say?
"Now that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has just been announced, I estimate that the teaching materials will be available in the town soon, and those high schools should also open cram schools."
Because the two of them didn't have much interaction in their previous lives, and this person had never done anything to let her down, Xia Liang still kindly reminded her.
There was no way she would help her without considering the interests of several people with whom she had a good relationship.
Xia Liang's meaning was very clear. Instead of looking for teaching materials here, you might as well discuss with your family to see if you can afford to find a cram school.
"I..." Song Jia smiled bitterly. Her family conditions were not good and she had two younger brothers.
There is absolutely no way her parents would allow her to attend cram school. As for buying teaching materials...
In the past, when it rained, she also went to dig herbs. She didn't make much money from the sales, so she saved up and sent it back home.
My mother said that the situation at home was very difficult and they didn’t even have enough to eat, so she asked their sisters to help.
Song Jia is a good and obedient child who sends all her money back home.
Xia Liang looked at her embarrassed expression and could do nothing: "Sorry, I can't help you."
Actually, Xia Liang still has some money in her hands now, which she had saved before, plus some given to her by Ning Zhiyuan, and fifty yuan from her mother-in-law.
By the way, the last time Xia’s mother was arrested, the 150 yuan she earned from selling her own property also came into Xia Liang’s hands. With this calculation, Xia Liang really has a huge sum of money.
Even if she had money, she didn't think about helping anyone. Especially someone like Song Jia, they weren't even familiar with each other, so why should she help?
"Thank you!"
Song Jia walked away with a sad look on her face. Yang Xiaohong pouted her head from the inner room and said, "I don't think this woman is a good person either. Sister, stay away from them in the future."
Xia Liang smiled, turned back to the room, and picked up the book on the kang: "I know. Read quickly, time is running out."
Yang Xiaohong nodded quickly. Her foundation was relatively poor, so she should study harder.
…
"Hey, Xia Jing, aren't you going back to the city soon? Why do you want to read a book?"
In Xia Jing's hand, she held a Chinese book that she had found from somewhere. Since her miscarriage, she had become much quieter than before and would read a book whenever she had nothing to do.
Yang Hongmei glared at Xia Jing, and her eyes fell from the book to the silver bracelet on her wrist.
This silver bracelet should have originally been hers!
"Isn't it time to resume the college entrance examination? I want to take part in it too!"
Xia Jing smiled sweetly, completely different from before.
"You also want to take the college entrance examination? You don't want to follow Zhou Hao back to the city?"
Li Xue snorted and asked in a sarcastic tone.
Although Xia Jing has a bad reputation and just lost a child, her relationship with Zhou Hao has not been dissolved. Even though the two have not married yet, they are still in an unmarried relationship.
In fact, after all, Xia Jing still has hope of returning to the city, unlike the others.
Apart from taking the college entrance examination, I don't expect anything else.
When they first entered high school, they didn't study much. Later, the college entrance examination was suspended for several years, and the educated youth were all unsure.
"Of course I will go back. I am Hao's fiancée. If she goes back, I will naturally go with her."
"But this doesn't conflict with my desire to take the college entrance exam. I will take it after I return."
Xia Jing said with confidence.
The women looked at each other, feeling that Xia Jing had changed recently, like a different person suddenly.
"Xia Jing, are you okay?"
Yang Hongmei looked at Xia Jing tentatively.
