Chapter 305
As a teacher, I do have a lot of concerns about things like this.
Not only do I have to face my peers, but I also have to face my own group of students. In the past, I could use the suspension of the college entrance examination as an excuse, but once the college entrance examination is resumed, if I can't even get into college, how can I convince my students?
How can I teach this book?
Lin Ziqiu only said one sentence, "If you can't even take this step yourself, then you will always have to look up to others and live your life."
Zhong Xuexi felt as if something had hit her in the heart.
She is about to marry Zhao Huaian, and with Zhao Huaian's knowledge, it is really a waste of talent for him to teach these elementary school students.
But in order to be with her, he was willing to be an ordinary substitute teacher in a primary school.
When he first decided to teach in elementary school, he had a big fight with his family. Everyone thought that he was fully capable of becoming a university teacher.
It was not until this moment that Zhong Xuexi suddenly realized that she was really holding others back.
People are willing to sacrifice for her, but she can't really just live like this for the rest of her life!
Even her sister-in-law is working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, so what right does she have to be afraid of this or that?
"Okay! I'll take the test too!"
The aunt and sister-in-law reached a consensus.
Lin Ziqiu hasn't touched a book during the time he went to Su City. It's time to pick it up and continue studying.
However, her advantages were there. She had been reborn and had the memories of her previous life. In addition, her talent in studying far exceeded that of others, so it was easy for her to go to university.
But what she wanted was to be admitted to the highest institution of learning as the provincial top scorer!
Zhong Heyang will be in a higher position in the future, and if she wants to move forward side by side with him, she must work hard to improve herself!
roll! Roll to death!
In the evening, Li Guixiang cooked some cured pork ribs soup and put some white radish in it. It smelled so good.
As their wedding draws near, Zhao Huaian becomes even clingier, fearing that Zhong Xuexi will break off the engagement.
It was his lifelong wish to marry her.
Now, my wish is almost fulfilled.
"Xue Xi, didn't you say you had good news to announce?" Li Guixiang stared at her daughter patiently, her curiosity evident in her eyes.
Zhong Xuexi picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl. "Grandma, I guess the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. My sister-in-law and I plan to participate."
"What?"
Li Guixiang also attended school at home when she was a child, and even went to junior high school, but later she had no interest in studying and dropped out of school.
But after she got married, she regretted not studying more before. This way, she wouldn't be afraid that she wouldn't be able to answer the questions her children asked her.
"Really? Don't lie to me! How come I haven't heard anything about such a big thing?"
Zhong Xuexi explained: "This matter has not been decided yet, but many people have already reported it. I think it will be restored to normal by next year at the latest."
Li Guixiang opened her eyes wide in shock, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what her granddaughter said made sense. After all, it was normal for her teacher, who was engaged in this line of work, to know some gossip earlier than ordinary people.
Furthermore, if there really were such a good thing, some people would probably keep it secret.
After all, there is one less competitor.
"But if you really recover, and if you are admitted to university, wouldn't you have to go to school? What about Xiuyuan?"
Even though Li Guixiang was happy for her granddaughter, she hoped even more that she would be happy in her marriage.
Being separated for too long can also affect the relationship between a couple.
"It doesn't matter. Where Xuexi goes to college in the future, I'll go there to work. It doesn't matter."
Zhao Huaian answered almost immediately.
He didn't want to live apart from his wife, who he had finally gotten. He couldn't stand being separated from her for even a second! ! !
Hearing his answer, Zhong Xuexi's eyes were filled with tears, "Huaian...you...you don't have to be like this. I can also take the exam for our city when the time comes."
Zhao Huaian said: "No matter which university you want to apply to, I support your decision. You don't need to add extra trouble to yourself by considering me. You just need to do what you want to do and leave everything else to me."
Zhong Xuexi didn't cry yet, but she made her grandmother cry. She wiped her tears and said with emotion, "Xuexi is lucky to marry you. I am relieved to have a son-in-law like you."
Recalling the time when her granddaughter liked Wei Zhihe, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep for whole nights.
Now that she would be able to see her get married soon and see her and her sister Xueyuan reconcile before she died, Li Guixiang felt that she would be able to die with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.
Zhong Heyang, who was sitting opposite them, began to feel worried.
Zhao Huaian is a teacher. With his knowledge and talents, he would be very popular in any school.
But he was different.
His wife's goal is to enter the highest institution of learning in the capital, and even if he gets promoted in the future, he may not be able to be transferred there.
This means that they will soon be separated.
When he thought of this, Zhong Heyang looked at the table full of dishes and they seemed to be tasteless.
Lin Ziqiu noticed his mood, secretly tugged at his clothes under the table, and said in a low voice: "Eat your meal obediently."
Zhong Heyang was surprised. This was the first time she spoke to him in such a tone.
For a moment he was somewhat distracted.
Seeing that he was standing there motionless, Lin Ziqiu picked up a piece of meat and placed it next to his mouth, muttering softly, "Open your mouth."
Zhong Heyang opened his mouth obediently almost immediately.
"Eh!" Zhong Xuexi said with disgust, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're such a grown-up, do you still need your sister-in-law to feed you? Aren't you ashamed?"
If it had happened in the past, Xue Yuan would definitely have been scolded.
As a result, the next second, her brother even raised his eyebrows with some pride, and said with a boastful tone, "What's so embarrassing about my wife feeding me? Others can't even envy me!"
Zhong Xuexi: “…”
What’s going on! Has her brother become thicker-skinned?
Zhao Huaian immediately learned to feed her and conveyed the message with his eyes - don't doubt it, your brother has fallen in love.
Zhong Xuexi tilted her head, opened her mouth and ate the food he picked up, her eyebrows slightly raised, so you?
Zhao Huaian smiled, "Me too." Falling in love!
Li Guixiang, who was sitting in the middle, said: "...Can you let me eat properly? You two are not behaving properly. I will punish you all to wash the dishes for me. You are not allowed to sleep until you clean them up!"
Everyone: “…” You’re so cruel! ! !
-
At night, Lin Ziqiu lay in bed, took the initiative to reach out and hug Zhong Heyang, rubbing her head against his back, "If you can't bear to leave me, I can come back to see you often."
College studies are not as tight as high school studies, so it is okay to see each other once a month.
"How often do you see each other?" Zhong Heyang said in a muffled voice.
Lin Ziqiu bit her lower lip and spoke tentatively: "One...one..."
"Week?"
Zhong Heyang interrupted her, "That's not impossible, but you know, I don't have that much vacation time, so you'll have to run back and forth very hard..."
He suddenly fell silent again.
Transportation is not so developed nowadays, and even if you take a train or a plane, it is still very tiring to travel back and forth.
He was reluctant to let his wife suffer, but what other options were there?
There is almost no solution.
Unless he is transferred to the capital.
But...it's not that easy.
Lin Ziqiu swallowed the word "moon" back. It would be great if he could use a smart phone, so that he could video chat with his lover every day to ease his homesickness.
The warehouse in her space also stocks a bunch of domestic mobile phones and fruit brands.
Nowadays, let alone mobile phones, even landline phones are not popular. When you really go to university, you may have to queue up to make a phone call!
Damn it!
She actually has to experience the pain of a long-distance relationship!
Lin Ziqiu sighed secretly, not daring to let Zhong Heyang notice, and tightened her grip around him, "Then we'll leave when the time comes..."
"No!"
Lin Ziqiu originally wanted to say that if they were far away from each other, they could just write more letters and meet more often, even if it was very hard.
But the man's reaction was huge. Zhong Heyang turned around at that moment and held her in his arms, "I won't allow you to do that! Lin Ziqiu, listen to me, unless I die! Otherwise, I will never divorce you! Don't even think about it!"
Lin Ziqiu was startled by his reaction and her heart was beating like a deer.
Seeing how much the man cared about her, Lin Ziqiu began to waver for the first time about going to the capital to attend university.
In her previous life, she worked hard to make progress just to become her own supporter.
But in the end, the adopted son she had worked so hard to cultivate hated her to the core.
In this life, she originally just wanted to live a more exciting life on her own, but now she has a backer who allows her to live happily without having to work hard.
She could just stay at home to take care of her mother-in-law and children like other military wives, and look forward to her husband coming home to eat the food she cooked.
But is this kind of life really what she wants?
She hesitated again.
The mixed emotions weighed down her and she felt a little breathless.
Lin Ziqiu closed his eyes and said weakly, "I'm not going to divorce you just to go to college."
Zhong Heyang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly dropped. He spoke with a hoarse voice and a barely perceptible tremor, "Will you never do that again in the future?"
Lin Ziqiu nodded slightly.
The lights in the room were dim, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was somewhat depressing and heavy.
Zhong Heyang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, trying to calm the waves in his heart.
His hold on her suddenly loosened a little, he took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound steady, "I know going to college is very important to you, I..."
"I don't want to be a hindrance to you, just go ahead, I support you."
Zhong Heyang leaned over, his eyes gentle and affectionate, carefully tracing her eyebrows and eyes, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his heart.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his movements so gentle as if he was touching a rare treasure, afraid that if he used a little force, he would break it.
"It's just that when you leave, I will miss you...a lot."
Zhong Heyang's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked up, "Promise me that you won't work so hard. Come back when you are tired. I will be here, waiting for you at home."
Two lines of tears instantly slid down from the corners of Lin Ziqiu's eyes. She fixed her gaze on his face, trying to imprint the appearance of the man in front of her, along with the deep affection in his eyes at this moment, in the deepest part of her heart.
"I know you will support me, but I..."
Lin Ziqiu's voice was tearful and trembling slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of the man's hand.
She could no longer control her emotions and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body and absorb the last bit of warmth.
Zhong Heyang patted her back gently, as if to comfort her, or as if to comfort himself.
His voice was low and firm, and it echoed softly in Lin Ziqiu's ears: "I understand, I understand everything, wife, don't cry, our separation is only temporary, as long as our hearts are together, we are not afraid of the distance."
Seeing her crying, Zhong Heyang's heart was in agony.
I wish I could agree to anything she wants, as long as she isn't so sad.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them, reflecting their tightly entwined figures.
-
The howling wind blew through the car windows like a knife, and a military jeep was bumping along the winding road back home.
Ruan Qing and his group set off at six in the morning, before daybreak.
Meng Zhiwei was driving and sitting in the front seat, with his wife Shen Xiu next to him.
Ruan Qing felt a little carsick, but she had already eaten all her favorite snacks in the guesthouse.
The main reason was that the food in Su City was sweeter and she couldn't get used to it, so every time they came back from the state-owned restaurant, she would stay in her room and eat snacks.
Huang Bin watched her frowning and not saying anything all the way, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that he didn't ask for some more potato chips or other snacks before Lin Ziqiu left.
"Uncle Meng, when we get to Ling County, find a supply and marketing cooperative to stop by."
Meng Zhiwei kept his eyes fixed on the front, "Are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Huang Bin glanced at Ruan Qing and said in his usual calm voice, "Yeah."
"It's better to stop for a while. You've been driving for such a long time. Take a break. Don't drive while tired. It's unsafe."
Shen Xiu echoed from the side, "Buy more food later, Qing'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan Qing kept chattering away in a carefree manner, and she was a little uncomfortable with being quiet all the way.
At first she thought Ruan Qing was still asleep.
Ruan Qing has a long-standing problem with motion sickness, but as long as he keeps eating and has a good taste in his mouth he won’t feel motion sickness.
But today they had to leave in a hurry, and she didn't want to trouble everyone, so she just got in the car.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Ruan Qing comforted himself in this way.
"If you're not feeling well, let's go to the hospital later. Don't be so quiet and say nothing, kid!"
Meng Zhiwei was also a little worried.
The Ruan family lives next door to theirs and has watched her grow up. In addition, she has drawn a clear line between herself and those confused people in the Ruan family, so Meng Zhiwei actually likes this girl quite a bit.
And if it weren't for her help, Huang Bin would definitely still lock himself at home and refuse to go out.
Ruan Qing smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Meng and Aunt Chen, don't worry about me. I'm a doctor. I'm really fine."
Motion sickness is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the car suddenly braked and Ruan Qing suddenly felt his stomach churning.
The car body shook violently, and the huge inertia caused everyone to rush forward.
Huang Bin subconsciously stretched out his hand, not caring that his legs had no strength at all, and held Ruan Qing in his arms.
Shen Xiu's forehead was red from the knock, and he gasped in pain, "hiss——"
Meng Zhiwei leaned over to check Shen Xiu's injuries. Seeing her red forehead, his eyes were full of heartache, "There are medicines in the back of the car, I'll get them!
Shen Xiuqiang endured the pain and looked at the back seat worriedly, "I'm fine, Qing'er, how are you? Are you not hurt?"
Huang Bin shook his head, "I'm fine."
He lowered his eyes to look at the pale-faced girl in his arms, "How are you?"
Ruan Qing covered his mouth with his hands and said nothing.
Meng Zhiwei got out of the car and took a look at the situation. He tugged at his collar in annoyance and said, "The tire is flat."
In the car, Ruan Qing immediately pushed Huang Bin away, opened the door, ran to the side of the road and vomited continuously.
Huang Bin was anxious in the car.
Shen Xiu quickly got out of the car and patted Ruan Qing on the back. She finally realized her condition and asked, "Are you carsick?"
Ruan Qing originally thought that she could hold it in, but in the end, she couldn't hold it in. She vomited until tears came out. After a long while, she rinsed her mouth and replied, "Yeah, but it's okay to spit it out. I'm fine now."
Huang Bin, who was sitting in the car and unable to get out, frowned tightly into the shape of a "川" character. Seeing Ruan Qing so miserable, he wished he could share her burden.
Shen Xiu took out a box of chocolates from her bag. This was something Song Hui had asked someone to bring back from abroad.
Although she has completely broken off relations with the Shen family, she will still recognize Song Hui as her nephew.
“Try this.”
Ruan Qing didn't hesitate. There was no taste in her mouth. She didn't eat much breakfast because she was afraid of motion sickness and vomiting in the car.
When he vomited, he vomited out all the food he had eaten the night before.
My stomach feels empty and uncomfortable.
Shen Xiu watched her eat two pills, then turned to look at Meng Zhiwei, "The tire is flat, what should we do now?"
Meng Zhiwei rubbed his eyebrows. One of the people in the car had difficulty walking, another was carsick and vomited, and his wife was also injured. Now he was the only one left.
"You guys get in the car first and stay in the car. I'll go check it out in front."
This area is hundreds of miles around and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I can't even find a place to repair the car. It's really frustrating.
Shen Xiu was still a little worried, "I'll go with you!"
"No, you can stay in the car. Qing'er, help your Aunt Chen apply some medicine later. I'm leaving now. It will be dark when I leave."
Ruan Qing felt better now and took the medicine, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm here."
There's no village or shop nearby. If I really waste time here, I'll probably have to spend the night here.
The problem was that they didn't have much food in the car, only some specialties brought back from Su City, which were some pastries.
Ruan Qing didn't eat it in vain, it was so sweet that it was greasy.
Meng Zhiwei ran all the way without delay. Shen Xiu was sitting in the car, and Ruan Qing was applying medicine to her. She couldn't help but say, "Aunt Shen, please stop looking. You can't even see my uncle."
"He knows you're thinking about him, so he'll definitely be back soon."
Shen Xiu knew that she was teasing her, so she laughed and scolded, "You girl, you are making fun of me!"
Ruan Qing's condition has improved, and his mood has also improved a lot. "Isn't this just to make you smile?"
"You were hit pretty hard. It'll take a few days for the bump on your forehead to go away. You can sit in the back when the car is repaired."
"It's okay! It's just a minor injury!" Shen Xiu didn't take it seriously, thinking about her husband, "I don't know if there are any villages nearby."
Ruan Qing comforted him, "I think so. Don't worry. Don't you know my uncle's strength?"
The reason why Meng Zhiwei was able to rise from an unknown soldier to his current position is not only due to his own connections, but also his strength.
Zhong Heyang learned all his skills from him, and his disciple is even better than his teacher. Now his disciple has become the number one soldier.
But Meng Zhiwei didn't feel that his apprentice had stolen his limelight at all. Instead, he felt more proud and gratified.
Despite what she said, Shen Xiu still felt uneasy.
Ruan Qing sat back in the back seat. She was so focused on herself in the front seat that she forgot about Huang Bin. The moment the car braked, he actually protected herself first.
Although she was only one of his attending physicians, there were very few people who could do this for him.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
It can be seen that Huang Bin still has some conscience, and it was worth her hard work in learning acupuncture just to cure his leg.
"Just now...thank you!"
Ruan Qing scratched his forehead uncomfortably.
Huang Bin fixed his eyes on her. "Why are you still trying to hold on when you're not feeling well? Doctors are also human beings."
His tone was a bit fierce.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips and said, "I know, I know. I'm not your soldier. Why are you so fierce..."
Huang Bin took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, "I don't mean to be mean to you."
He just wished she wasn't so strong.
She had to handle everything by herself, and it made him feel...distressed to see her.
Ruan Qing snorted coldly, "Anyway, you are fierce."
"I..." Huang Bin felt helpless and defeated. "Then I apologize to you. My tone was not good just now. I won't do it again in the future."
Ruan Qing blinked, curious about why he admitted his mistake so quickly today.
"Well, since you are so sincere, I will be magnanimous and not bother with you."
Huang Bin pursed his lips, "Okay, thank you."
Ruan Qing: “?”
What is going on?
Was Huang Bin kicked in the head by a donkey? Are you so easy to talk to today?
She couldn't get used to it anymore.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Xiu had a full view of all of Huang Bin's actions, not even missing a single subtle expression on his face.
If you like to pay attention to someone's eyes, you can't go wrong.
They waited in the car for two hours before they finally saw Meng Zhiwei riding a tractor towards them.
It was getting dark now and the sun was about to set. When Shen Xiu saw him, she immediately got out of the car and waved.
Ruan Qing heard the rumbling sound of the tractor and couldn't help but stick his head out of the car window, "Wow, I didn't expect that I could ride a tractor for once!"
The kids from the compound had seen tractors before. Many of them had ridden in trucks and jeeps, but they had never ridden in a tractor.
"Do you like riding on tractors?"
But when Huang Bin heard Ruan Qing's words, it seemed to have another meaning.
Ruan Qing's mouth twitched slightly. That's really not what she meant.
But she deliberately said: "Don't you think it's cool?"
"Cool?" Huang Bin was even more confused. What kind of reason was this?
Ruan Qing opened the car door and waved to Meng Zhiwei and the others, but the next second, she heard something extraordinary.
"Xiu Xiu, let me introduce you. This is Village Chief Shen. The village ahead is Ankang Village. If it weren't for their help today, we would have been trapped here."
Meng Zhiwei got off the tractor and introduced himself to Shen Xiu.
"Village Chief Shen, thank you for your help! Sorry for causing you trouble!"
Shen Xiu expressed her gratitude with a smile.
