Volume 1 Chapter 425 The Exam is Coming
"Mom, have you figured it out?"
Sheng Wanyan really didn't believe that her mother had such foresight, so her mother told her everything.
"Your father discussed this with me."
"It definitely won't work if I ask your brother and sister-in-law to buy it. After all, your grandparents, your dad and I all have to live here."
"Yan'er, although I get along well with your sister-in-law, you need to know who owns the house and who is the boss in the family."
"Your father and I are still able to do the job now, so your grandparents' responsibility is ours."
"Also, if Hu Zi goes to Kyoto, can your grandparents not go?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this. Hu Zi was the lifeblood of the two elders.
"But many of Pan Yue's relatives are in Kyoto. If your grandparents go with them, they will still live in your brother and sister-in-law's house."
"If any relatives from the Pan family come to visit, your grandparents will be easily inferior to them."
"So your dad and I bought it so your grandparents can live there with confidence."
Sheng Wanyan gave her mother a thumbs up. It was indeed true that it was inevitable that an elderly person would feel uncomfortable living in the home of a younger generation.
After all, no matter what we do, we always take the younger generation in the family into consideration.
But it would be different if they lived in their own house. If Pan Yue and Sheng Wanze didn’t want to live with the elderly anymore, they could move out.
Instead, the elderly should be hesitant about where to stay.
"Besides, think about it, if Xiaoyue passes the exam and goes to Kyoto, your brother will definitely find a way to get promoted to Kyoto."
"Your father and I will never be able to leave your brother and Hu Zi. Don't we have to have our own confidence when we go to Kyoto?"
Could it be that he was really going to join his son and daughter-in-law? ? ?
"Mom, I'm glad you think so."
Sheng Wanyan also felt that it would be better for Sheng's parents to buy a yard in Kyoto themselves, and their salaries were enough.
The most important thing is that Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng live in peace and don’t feel like they are bothering Pan Yue.
"That's right. Otherwise, how could I give birth to such a smart daughter like you?"
Mother Sheng was being a bit Versailles. Since her daughter was becoming more and more outstanding, she felt that she must be a smart person as well.
"But I didn't tell your brother and Xiaoyue about this."
"Let's talk about it after we buy it, otherwise your brother and sister-in-law will definitely not be happy."
If Sheng's mother had told him in advance, Sheng Wanze would definitely use his own money to buy it.
Mother Sheng had her own plans. After she finished speaking, she took out a passbook, which contained the money she and Father Sheng had saved over the years.
"Take this passbook. When you get to Kyoto, buy one for me and your father."
Sheng Wanyan opened it and found 3,000 yuan inside. However, it was not surprising when she thought about it, because Sheng's father had been promoted and his salary was 130 yuan a month.
Adding Sheng's mother's salary, the couple earns a combined 170 yuan a month.
What's more, Sheng Wanze and Pan Yue would send retirement money and food back home, so basically all of their salary was saved except for buying things for the children.
"Just buy what you like, anything similar will do."
Sheng Wanyan nodded. With these 3,000 yuan, she could buy a nice yard.
It is best to buy a house with two courtyards. If that is not possible, you can buy two house with one courtyard, or a shop.
However, Sheng Wanyan definitely thinks that the yard is better than the shop. After all, at their age, there is no need to go through the hassle of buying a shop.
"Mom, how about you go to Kyoto with my dad then?"
Sheng Wanyan’s words scared her mother out of her wits. Is this child really someone who speaks without thinking?
"How can your father and I go?"
"Your father works hard at his job, and he will have a lot of pension in the future."
"Besides, if I go with your father, will I just stay at home and rely on my parents for support?"
Sheng's mother was extremely reluctant, but Sheng Wanyan was not in a hurry. By the time the economy opened up, many factories would not be able to hold on.
By the time I have opened my own grocery store, it won’t be too late for Mr. and Mrs. Sheng to come over.
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking."
Mother Sheng rolled her eyes. How could this be something just said casually?
This is work, a career they have been working on all their lives. Can they just give up like that?
Before her mother got angry and left, Sheng Wanyan hurried back with the passbook.
I'll arrange the house when I return to Kyoto.

The next day was the day of the exam, and early in the morning Gu Tingxiao took Yi Yi to be taken care of by Sheng's father and mother.
He rode his bicycle early in the morning and took Sheng Wanyan to the city to take the exam.
Sheng Wanze and Pan Yue also traveled with them and set off early in the morning before dawn.
They took the exam at a junior high school in the city, and arrived in the city at 6:30 in the morning.
Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanze went to buy breakfast, including meat buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk.
A few people were eating at the entrance of the examination room first. At this time, many candidates and parents had already arrived.
They were all waiting at the door to enter. I was so envious when I saw them eating meat buns.
Especially those educated youth from the countryside, who, after so many years of torture in the countryside, felt deeply moved when they saw this scene of harmony between husband and wife.
They were also energetic young girls with great expectations in their hearts.
She has a good in-law family, a considerate and loving husband, and well-behaved children.
But after going to the countryside, people were trapped and married into the village.
The better ones will cherish you, and the bad ones will make your life a mess.
At the beginning, they would be pampered, but as time went on, they had to face the days of working in the fields to earn a few cents every day.
But I can only sigh and feel that my life is so miserable.
"Wife, drink some water."
Gu Tingxiao opened the kettle and handed it to her. It was filled with malted milk that Gu Tingxiao had prepared for her in the morning.
Sheng Wanyan drank half of the drink and looked at her watch. It was almost time.
"It's time to enter the examination room."
Pan Yue was very nervous. She even felt uncomfortable eating the meat buns because her mind was still on the questions.
"Let's go, let's go."
Pan Yue hurriedly pulled her inside, and Gu Tingxiao gave Sheng Wanyan the stationery he had prepared.
"Don't be nervous, wife."
Gu Tingxiao adjusted her scarf and hat and kept cheering her up.
"I'm not nervous, not nervous."
Sheng Wanyan took a deep breath. She was still a little nervous. After all, this was a turning point in her life.
Sheng Wanyan followed 5.7 million candidates into the examination room and started a new journey in life.
Sheng Wanyan found her examination room and seat, sat down, and waited for the examiner to arrive.
This exam lasts for 3 days. The first day will test politics, history, geography and chemistry.
The second day is for math and Chinese, and the third day is for a foreign language test.
It was obvious that the candidates were very nervous. Everyone was fidgeting and some students were even sweating in the middle of winter.
The examiner entered the classroom with the unopened test papers, and everyone quickly sat down and didn't dare to move.
"The exam is about to start, everyone put everything up except stationery."
Everyone followed suit and quickly put all the irrelevant things on the podium.
