"I'll stay here!" Chang Yaozu answered honestly.
With a sharp "tsk".
Xu Yu glared at Chang Yaozu fiercely. She really shouldn't have held onto hope. Useless is useless, and that won't change no matter how much time passes!
"You're shameless! Go ahead and stay! You're this age, no job, no house, and you still can't get married! Don't ever say I know you again!"
After venting his anger, he turned and left.
Chang Yaozu was left standing there, dumbfounded.
Why is she like this? She came up and started questioning me, then got angry and started yelling!
Chang Yaozu honestly replied, thinking that even if they couldn't be husband and wife, they could still be friends. After all, she was alone in a foreign land without any relatives or friends. As the person who brought her from her hometown in Northeast China to Beijing, he should take care of her. He never expected... sigh!
Chang Huaying was waiting for dinner at home when she saw Chang Yaozu walk into the house looking lost and dejected once again. As always, her first priority was to fill her stomach.
I ate two steamed buns.
Chang Huaying finally found some time to ask about Chang Yaozu's situation.
When she heard that her brother had run into that woman downstairs again, Chang Huaying rolled her eyes while biting into her steamed bun.
"Brother, what does she want with you?"
That woman has no good intentions!
Chang Yaozu repeated it in detail, and Chang Huaying put down her steamed bun and shook her head fiercely.
"Brother, she's getting married soon! And you're still entangled with her! I know you don't have feelings for her! But the fact that you two had a past is undeniable! If her future in-laws find out, it could cause trouble. You should know what the best course of action is!"
A house? What kind of house?
If Duoyu knew that her mother had bought three apartments in the neighborhood, she would be furious.
Chang Huaying made up her mind to extinguish the last remaining trace of affection her brother had for Xu Duoyu.
Her brother is just like her grandmother—so kind. Even after things have escalated to this point, he still thinks of Duoyu, who is all alone and needs care.
Chang Yaozu stammered, "I have no feelings for her, but she took the initiative to contact me, and I couldn't bear to disappoint her..."
Chang Huaying banged on the table!
"Brother! Brother, brother!! There are only a few days left until the college entrance exam! When Rihui came over last time to help estimate my scores, he said that if the admission scores don't change this year, you might still get into a junior college, maybe! Not certain!"
"Open your eyes and see the world! Don't let a woman ruin your life's most important matters!"
Chang Huaying felt sorry for her brother, who had to repeat a year of high school because he failed the exam, and she also felt sorry for her parents, whose hard-earned money was going down the drain.
Chang Yaozu scratched his head: "Hua Ying, ever since I started studying with you, I feel like this is all I am. I've reached my limit. Maybe this is fate. You just focus on studying and getting into a good university. Don't worry about me!"
Studying is so painful.
Especially after moving here and starting to study with Hua Ying, he realized even more deeply that he only had the intelligence of an average person.
Sometimes Chang Rihui would come over to give guidance. Whenever that happened, Chang Yaozu would watch Chang Rihui and Chang Huaying talk eloquently about the problems that had puzzled him for a long time, and his sense of frustration as an ordinary person would become even stronger.
He would be lucky if he could get into a junior college.
Chang Huaying sighed softly: "Brother, I know that the closer it gets to the college entrance exam, the harder it is for you to study. But brother, I still hope that you can persevere and not let yourself have any regrets. Just treat this as your last college entrance exam!"
Chang Yaozu nodded silently.
*
Once July was over and the college entrance examination was finished, Chang Rihui immediately estimated the scores of the two students after returning home from the examination hall.
Chang Huaying is guaranteed admission to Capital Normal University, while Chang Yaozu should be able to get into a junior college, albeit barely.
Chang Yaozu had a low score and not many options, so Chang Rihui shifted his focus towards Chang Huaying.
Chang Huaying wanted to go to Capital Normal University, but Chang Rihui felt that it was a waste of her score to apply to Capital Normal University, so they started arguing.
Chang Yaozu was also very concerned about his sister's aspirations and would occasionally interject to advise Chang Huaying to think things through.
He also hoped that Chang Huaying's choice would be worthy of his efforts. During the time they studied together in the new house, he admired his sister immensely. This is perhaps the heartfelt respect that ordinary people have for top students.
Overall, Chang Huaying's efforts paid off, and she finally got to enter a prestigious university.
After submitting my application, I'm just waiting to receive my acceptance letter.
Although the eldest son and his wife cared a lot about Chang Yaozu's college entrance examination, they couldn't quite put their finger on why they cared. They were both extremely busy with work and could only offer a few words of concern at most.
They still don't know that Chang Huaying took this year's college entrance examination together.
The admission notice from Capital Normal University arrived at my home first.
Chen Zhaodi was preparing to leave for work in the afternoon when she encountered a postman holding an admission notice and checking the address.
The envelope had the words "Capital Normal University" written in large characters on it!
Chen Zhaodi was so excited that she danced around and reached out to snatch it.
Chen Zhaodi introduced herself: "Is this the Chang family from Shuangdong Hutong? Give it to me! It's our family's college admission notice!"
The postman nodded, inwardly thinking that this woman was quite nice; her daughter had worked for several years and then went back to take the college entrance exam, and she had actually agreed to it.
Chen Zhaodi waved the admission notice in her hand, shouting loudly.
"I got into Capital Normal University! I got in!"
The neighbors who were basking in the sun in a corner not far away came over when they heard the noise. They were full of praise when they saw the genuine admission notice in Chen Zhaodi's hand.
"Hongbing's wife, your hard times are finally over! Your son has been admitted to Capital Normal University. Your third son is a university teacher, and soon it will be your son's turn!"
"Hey! What kind of time is this to say such things! That third brother isn't even family! Maybe Yaozu is the first person from the Chang family to become a university professor! Yaozu is a good name, Yaozu, Yaozu, bringing glory to the family!"
"Hongbing's wife, are you planning to get your son married yet? Yaozu has been delayed all these years, he must hurry up and get married, otherwise, once he goes to university, it will be several more years, and then it will be too late!"
...
Chen Zhaodi couldn't stop smiling as she listened to everyone's flattery. Finally, the clouds parted and the moon shone through; her good days had arrived!
Chang Yaozu came out after hearing the commotion outside the door. When he saw the admission notice from Capital Normal University, he couldn't help but feel happy for his sister. He stepped forward and corrected her.
"Mom, this isn't my acceptance letter, it's Huaying's acceptance letter!"
"I think you've gone mad from studying!" Chen Zhaodi rolled her eyes at him. "How can this not be your acceptance letter! The postman delivered it to your door! And you're dragging your sister into it! She works in a factory, where would she take the college entrance exam? How could she possibly have an acceptance letter!"
When someone is trying to sabotage you when you're having a good time, no one would be happy, Chen Zhaodi retorted instinctively.
Chang Yaozu remained calm and pointed to the envelope: "Mom, look carefully yourself. Doesn't it say Hua Ying's name on it? And the admission notice inside also says Hua Ying's name. This has nothing to do with me!"
A neighbor tilted their head to take a look, and sure enough!
"Hongbing's wife, don't be so happy yet. This really is Huaying's college admission notice! It has nothing to do with your son!"
Chen Zhaodi immediately became furious. How could there be no connection? There must be a connection!
