Chapter 184 Can't Let Go
Meng Shulan blushed, and the gossipers laughed at her. When she returned to the team, everyone asked her what gifts she received. Although she had her back to this side just now, some sharp-eyed people still saw it.
Meng Shulan said calmly: "Nothing."
She didn't want to take out such a good thing and show it to anyone, so she had already put it in her schoolbag.
“Eh…”
Everyone showed a meaningful look of disappointment.
Although Meng Shulan had no intention of showing off and did not take out anything, everyone still couldn't help but scream.
That’s great, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
I’m so envious. When will they be able to find someone as handsome and capable as Teacher Gu?
It’s a rare opportunity that we don’t have to sit in the classroom, so everyone can relax.
A group of people surrounded Meng Shulan, asking her about her and Gu Hansong, when they would get engaged, etc.
Although I still have to go to college and can't get married, I can get engaged first! Meng Shulan didn't give a direct answer. The college entrance examination hasn't ended yet, so no matter what happens, we have to wait.
It was lively here, but at the back of the crowd, Zhang Yimei felt uncomfortable.
Although she already knew that the two were dating, she still couldn't bear to see them being so affectionate in front of her.
Zhang Yimei tightly grasped her backpack bag, clenched her teeth, and her eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if there was a knife hidden in them.
Next to her, Zhang's mother patted her daughter on the shoulder and gently advised her, "The world is big, there is no shortage of excellent men. Do well in the exam, there is still a long way to go in the future."
Zhang Yimei likes Gu Hansong and has been rejected before. Zhang's mother knows this.
That day, Zhang Yimei's confession was rejected and she ran back home crying. Zhang's mother happened to be there and showed concern for her daughter. Zhang Yimei then expressed her thoughts to her.
Zhang's mother must know about Gu Hansong. He is very outstanding and even the city leaders praise him highly. It is normal for her daughter to like him.
It’s a pity that he already has someone he likes.
Zhang's mother would definitely advise her daughter to let go, saying that it's not like it's hard to find a man.
But it’s not so easy for Zhang Yimei to let go.
She actually tried to bury that person deep in her heart, but it didn't work. Every time she saw Meng Shulan smiling, she felt very uncomfortable.
She was not convinced as to why she could get the person she liked.
It was because of this that Zhang Yimei secretly spread the news that Meng Shulan was dating.
Anyway, there were rumors that Meng Shulan was looking for a villager before, and she just pushed it along. She didn't say whether it was true or not, and let everyone judge for themselves.
She didn't think too much about it at the time. She just wanted to fill Meng Shulan's void and disgust her a little so that she wouldn't be either complacent or happy all day long.
Zhang Yimei felt that no matter how capable Gu Hansong was, his household registration and food supply were still in the village, and his identity as a villager was undeniable.
Even if Meng Shulan knew about this and questioned her, there would be nothing she could do because she did not lie.
Zhang Yimei felt that her plan was perfect, but she didn't expect Gu Hansong to come to the school to be an English teacher.
That day, the principal personally accompanied Gu Hansong and introduced him in front of everyone. The words of praise and admiration immediately pushed this man to a height that everyone looked up to.
A genius who taught himself in a hard and simple environment, who cares about his identity!
Words like "villager" and "only has an elementary school education" only make his resume more legendary and add icing on the cake.
Originally, she wanted to cause trouble for Meng Shulan, but who knew that it would bring glory to her instead.
In the past half month, although Zhang Yimei seemed fine on the surface, she was actually feeling more and more depressed and even started to suffer from insomnia at night.
Seeing that the preliminaries were approaching, Zhang's mother did not dare to say anything too harsh and could only advise her carefully.
Zhang Yimei is not a child, of course she knows.
Can……
"Mom, stop talking. I understand."
I understand, but I just can't let it go.
Mother Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then the school started gathering for a meeting and they had to get ready to get on the bus.
Seeing this, Zhang's mother had nothing more to say and followed the crowd of people seeing them off and retreated to the side of the road.
All five classes have arrived. Before leaving, the principal spoke first, and then it was the mayor's turn.
In short, the time to change your destiny has come. Let’s work hard. Whether you can enter the college entrance examination depends on this pre-examination.
Everyone was very excited and kept clapping.
After the conversation, each class lined up to get on the bus and said goodbye to their relatives on the roadside.
Meng Shulan also waved to her family, and Gu Hansong also went to the Meng family at some point and stood with everyone.
After a brief farewell, the car quickly went down the slope and headed towards the county town.
This trip took more than two hours, and by the time we settled down there, it was almost noon.
When the car left the town, Meng Shulan saw many people taking out books and notebooks, and it seemed that they were ready to start studying.
Although the teacher had said before that we should relax more and not push ourselves too hard in the last two days, at the moment of life and death, no one was willing to let go, even for a minute.
Seeing that everyone was watching, Meng Shulan also took out her English notes.
She had already rested for half a day yesterday, so she was in good spirits today and kept taking notes until she got off the bus.
The school had booked a guesthouse in advance. Everyone went there to put down their belongings, and the class teacher organized and took everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
The school has no unified policy on meals, so you have to order what you want to eat. After meals, you have free time, too. You can go out for a walk, or go back to the guesthouse to rest and read.
Not to mention those who need to go back to rest or read, those students who go out for a walk should pay attention to the roll call at 8 o'clock in the evening and must return before then.
Meng Shulan and Hu Bifang had this meal together. They did not skimp and ordered one meat and one vegetable, plus two bowls of three ounces of rice.
While eating, Meng Shulan asked Hu Bifang about her afternoon plans.
Hu Bifang didn't want to go anywhere and went back to the guesthouse to read.
"Shulan, are you going out?"
Meng Shulan thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go see my cousin, she is studying in No. 2 Middle School."
It has been a long time since I heard from Meng Danhong. Now that I have arrived in the county, Meng Shulan wants to go and see her.
Hu Bifang: "Then I'll accompany you."
"No, go back and read. I'll ask the class teacher how to get to No. 2 Middle School, and then we can take the bus."
Hu Bifang: "I'd better go with you. Today, the college entrance examination candidates from several towns have come to the city, and there will be many people."
This too.
Meng Shulan: "Thank you."
After dinner, the two found their class teacher and told him about going to No. 2 Middle School to look for someone.
No. 2 Middle School is not far from here. You don’t need to take a car. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
The two of them memorized the direction and were about to go there, but they ran into Meng Danhong at the door of the guesthouse.
Meng Danhong was carrying a cloth bag. She must have also walked from school. Her forehead was covered with sweat. When she saw Meng Shulan, she quickly waved, "Second sister."
