Once the idea popped into Wu Chunhua's head, it wouldn't leave her mind.
When Fu Linchuan was in high school, Lin Caifeng was still young. She had never liked studying and her grades were very poor.
"Impossible. What's so great about the college entrance exam?" Lin Caifeng thought it was impossible. "Besides, he's been out of high school for so many years. How could he possibly pass the exam now?"
Wu Chunhua tapped Lin Caifeng's head. "You idiot, don't you know how good Lin Chuan's grades were when he was in high school? If we hadn't prevented him from taking the exam that year, he would have run away long ago. Why would he still be at home?"
Lin Caifeng rubbed her head. "How would I know about those things? Besides, what good were his grades back then? Mother, do you think getting into university is so easy? Only a few people get in each year. Take Director Liu from our match factory, for example. Her son has taken the exam three times and still hasn't passed."
Wu Chunhua kept this matter in mind.
She knew best what Fu Linchuan had done to be able to take the college entrance examination. She also clearly remembered what Fu Linchuan looked like when he missed the college entrance examination, with that fierce look in his eyes.
However, nothing really happened to him afterward.
If it weren't for Xu Chunmai's second delivery, things might not be the way they are now.
If Fu Linchuan really goes to take the college entrance examination, his household registration will still be in Yuquan Village.
They're all in Xuancheng now, so what can Fu Linping do even if he's in Wangshan County?
If Fu Linchuan really gets accepted, could she secretly take the admission notice and perhaps have her son Lin Xinglong take Fu Linchuan's place at university?
In Wu Chunhua's view, her son Lin Xinglong was already very pitiful, especially miserable.
Because he had lost his manhood, even Zhao Laosan and his gang let him go after hearing about it.
If Lin Xinglong can go to university, he can get a good government job in the future, and then she won't have to worry about anything.
"Who knows? Why think so much? You're not taking the exam," Wu Chunhua said. "You should hurry home and check on things. It's rare that you don't have to go to work today. Go home, cook a meal, and tidy up the house. Your brother is in such a state, why are you arguing with him?"
Lin Caifeng felt aggrieved, but where could she go?
She wasn't a formal employee of the match factory, and didn't even have a dormitory for employees.
Renting a house in the county town is even more impossible.
Fu Linchuan was unaware of Wu Chunhua's scheme, and he and Xu Chunmai soon entered Changling Village.
The people of Changling Village are now very used to Fu Linchuan delivering things to Xu Shengli's house.
Even if Fu Linchuan doesn't come, Fu Linping sometimes does.
Or Xu Shengli and Qian Jinhua would bring back a lot of things when they went to the county town.
In the past, even if the villagers didn't say it out loud, they all thought Xu Shengli was no good. He only had one daughter, and no one would take care of him in his old age. Sooner or later, the family line would end up dead.
But now, it's a complete slap in the face.
In the entire Changling Village, no family is as well-off as Xu Shengli's.
The couple farmed just a small plot of land, and they had no worries about food, clothing, or daily necessities.
Raising a daughter is much better than raising several sons.
Standing at the edge of the field, Zhang Tieniu saw Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai riding bicycles loaded with so many things.
He pursed his lips and gave a soft snort.
"What's the use of living a good life if you still don't have a son!"
Those nearby overheard this and mocked Zhang Tieniu, "Zhang Tieniu, you've fathered three sons, yet you're still eating coarse grains and wild vegetables?"
Xu Shengli and Qian Jinhua were originally in the field, but when they learned that their daughter and son-in-law were coming back, they immediately picked up their hoes and were about to go home with smiles on their faces.
Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai parked their bicycles there and started taking things out. Xu Shengli and Qian Jinhua also entered the yard.
Xu Chunmai hadn't seen the two of them for some time and missed them terribly.
Hurry up and hug Qian Jinhua, "Mom, I missed you so much."
"Dad, Mom, I've bought you some things."
Xu Shengli looked at it and exclaimed, "They really bought a lot, spending so much money."
Fu Linchuan carried the things into the house, saying, "Like I said, the point of making money is to spend it."
After moving everything to the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, Xu Shengli and Qian Jinhua washed their hands and came over.
"Did you finish the exam today?" Xu Shengli asked.
Xu Chunmai nodded, "Yes, the exam is over. That's why I came here as soon as possible today."
Qian Jinhua said, "Your father and I didn't dare to bother you, and we didn't tell anyone that you had registered for this year's college entrance examination."
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "It's alright, it doesn't matter if you know."
Xu Shengli said, "I've heard that there are even cases of impersonation, which is quite frightening."
Fu Linchuan nodded. "That's true, so we need to be more careful in the future."
Qian Jinhua held Xu Chunmai's hand and asked, "Could you two spare some time to stay a few more days this time?"
“I can stay a few more days,” Xu Chunmai said. “My mother-in-law and grandfather are here to take care of the child. Mom, you don’t know how much Le’an loves her great-grandfather. She’s always clinging to him.”
"Oh dear, Da Chuan, your grandfather must be over seventy years old this year. Don't tire him out," Qian Jinhua said.
Fu Linchuan took out the new clothes and put them on the kang (a heated brick bed). "Don't worry, Mom, my grandpa is in good health. He's happy to take care of Le'an every day, and he won't let go of her. When he goes out for a walk, he even brags to people that she's his great-granddaughter."
"Dad, Mom, you eat this. I bought you two new outfits each, and try on these shoes to see if they fit."
Xu Shengli and Qian Jinhua had gotten used to Fu Linchuan buying them clothes. At first, they always wanted Fu Linchuan to return them, thinking that they didn't need to wear these clothes and that having clothes to wear was enough.
