Chapter 130: College Entrance Exam
Gu Siqing had her entrance exam today, and as the family's "giant panda," she was treated especially well today. Wang Yueju gently woke her up, saying, "Xiao Si, wake up! Mom made you your favorite fried dough sticks."
Gu Siqing sat up from the bed, scratched her hair and said, "My favorite thing to eat is meatballs."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, we can't talk about meatballs today." Wang Yueju said quickly. Meatballs, meatballs, if I had eaten meatballs this morning, I might have failed the exam.
Gu Siqing said to Comrade Wang Yueju while wearing her clothes: "Don't learn from Aunt Xu. She has no confidence in Si Tianyi and that's why she relies on feudal superstition."
"But you still have to pray for good luck. You must eat a fried dough stick and two eggs this morning so that you can get a perfect score in the exam." Wang Yueju said.
Gu Siqing got out of bed and said, "I think you should wear a cheongsam today."
Wang Yueju was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
"A great start!" Gu Siqing said as she walked out. Wang Yueju seemed to be thinking about something, then said, "I'll tell your Aunt Xu about this later. This is great."
Gu Siqing: That dramatic Aunt Xu wouldn’t really wear a cheongsam, would she?
She went out to wash up. Toothpaste was already squeezed onto her toothbrush. After brushing her teeth, the elder sister smiled at her with a comb and said, "Come here, Xiao Si. I'll comb your hair."
Gu Siqing clicked her tongue twice. This treatment was truly the highest standard in their family.
The eldest sister braided her hair into two braids, then took a red plastic headband and was about to put it on her head. Gu Siqing quickly said, "I don't want it."
She really couldn't appreciate these plastic headbands and hairpins. But Gu Yimin thought they were pretty and said, "They're really pretty. Look how good they look on me."
Gu Siqing turned her head to look at her and saw that her elder sister had her hair loose today and wore a thin pink headband, which matched her pink floral dress today. Well, she looked very girlish and looked very beautiful.
But she really couldn't accept wearing it on her head, saying, "I always feel uncomfortable with this headband, and it affects my exams."
Gu Yimin quickly put away the red headband when she heard it, "Then I won't wear it anymore."
Gu Siqing had a fried dough stick and two eggs for breakfast. Han Zhengping and Han Zhengyang arrived just after dinner, and Gu Siqing rode Han Zhengping's bicycle to school. On the way, she told the brothers about her treatment, which made Han Zhengyang very envious.
When he arrived at the school gate, he saw Si Tianyi who was wrapped in maternal love. When he saw Gu Siqing, he quickly broke free from the shackles of maternal love and ran over, making Gu Siqing very happy.
"I'm really scared of my mother." Si Tianyi said.
Gu Siqing: "Don't be afraid, you can return to normal treatment tomorrow."
The day after the exam, Gu Siqing's treatment returned to normal. Although she felt a little disappointed, she felt more comfortable. The test results wouldn't be out for two weeks, and her father meant that after her results came out, the family would go to Kyoto. Having fun while buying a house. Beauty boutique recommendations. It was midsummer, the off-season for clothing, and the store had been mostly empty these past few days. After selling the remaining hundred or so pieces of clothing, they planned to close the shop and take a break.
The book "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" is nearing completion. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Yu Jianbai, in which she discussed publishing the book. There are two publishing houses in Kyoto that want to publish the book.
Gu Siqing wrote him back, saying that she would go to Kyoto in a while and they would talk in detail then.
That day, Gu Yimin received a letter from Luo Yongnian, who had been sent from the military academy. He was a quiet man, even in letters. It was only half a page long, with his address and phone number, and a comment about how everything was fine after he arrived at the academy. That was it.
Gu Yimin was holding the letter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The purpose of this letter was probably to tell her the address. He probably added the words that he was fine in the military academy because he felt it was a bit awkward to just write the address.
She put the letter away and had no intention of writing back. She would return his medal when she had the chance, and she really didn't want to talk about love at all right now.
While studying at night school, she met many women who had jobs but were still studying hard. Some of them were married, and some were not, but their purpose of attending night school was to improve themselves and make themselves better and more independent.
Think about it carefully. Although newspapers often say that women hold up half the sky, many women around us still rely on men. Although they have formal jobs and are completely financially independent, they still rely on men mentally.
Why? I’m still not good enough, and I can’t break free from the shackles of my own thoughts.
To truly live out your true self, you had to be excellent. She knew full well that the biggest reason both Ye Chi and Luo Yongnian fell in love with her was her good looks. She didn't believe she had any other advantages that would attract such excellent people.
Appearance is superficial; it wears off over time, and as we age, we all become wrinkled women. What matters is a person's inner qualities. What inner qualities does she possess, a rural girl with a junior high school education?
It’s better to put aside love affairs for the time being. The most important thing is to learn more while you are young.
Thinking back to that time when I impulsively sent a sweater to Luo Yongnian, oh well! Better not to talk about it.
"Is Wang Qiuyue going to take the college entrance exam this year?" Gu Yimin asked Gu Erhui beside her. Wang Qiuyue was a classmate in their night school class.
Gu Erhui thought for a moment and said, "It seems so. She went to high school for half a year, but then the school was closed and she stopped going. She learns faster than us."
Gu Yimin pondered after hearing this. Seeing this, Gu Erhui said, "You also want to go to university?"
"Do you want to?" Gu Yimin asked her.
Gu Erhui shook her head. She wanted to do business and make money more than go to college.
"I'd like to try it when the time comes." Gu Yimin said. Wang Qiuyue was married with children and still took the college entrance exam, so why couldn't she?
Gu Erhui gave her a thumbs up and said, "If my father knew what you were thinking, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep. He dreams of having a college student in our family."
Gu Yimin laughed along. Their father did indeed nag Xiao Si about taking the college entrance exam every day. If she passed, it would definitely be a big surprise.
"Don't tell anyone else yet. Wait until I sign up."
Gu Erhui nodded, "I will definitely keep it a secret for you."
After deciding to go to university, Gu Yimin began to pay attention to supplementary study materials. He bought a lot of auxiliary study reference books from the bookstore and made good use of every opportunity to study.
She was so obsessed with studying that Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju must have found out, and then she couldn't hide the fact that she wanted to go to college. Gu Jianguo was so happy that his mouth was grinning all day, and Wang Yueju simply exempted her from all the housework to give her more time to study.
During the evening break, Wang Yueju said to Gu Jianguo, "Why don't we hire a clerk to replace Yimin so that she can have more time to study."
Gu Jianguo nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with the two sisters tomorrow."
