Chapter 124 Taking the College Entrance Exam
Without hesitation, Gu Jianjun took all the documents. After thinking for a moment, he got some photos of Gu Yanxiao when she was a child and put them into the document bag.
Only after doing all this was the file folder restored to its original state.
Grandpa Gu was completely unaware of all this while he was asleep.
When he woke up, he opened the file bag and saw the photos of Gu Yanxiao from childhood to adulthood. A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
But soon, he regained his original stubbornness and determination.
When Gu Yanxiao returned to the Su residence, Su Xiangwan had already taken a nap.
She was reading a book in the corridor when she heard his footsteps. She looked up at him in surprise and said, "Why are you back so soon?"
She thought that when Gu Yanxiao went to the old house, he would at least spend a few hours with Grandpa Gu.
I didn't expect you to be back so soon.
"Give the things to the old man, explain everything, and then come back." Gu Yanxiao took the book from Su Xiangwan's hands and said, "The light is getting dim now, it's not good for your eyes, let's read it tomorrow!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the contents of the book and realized it was a high school textbook. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you reading this book?"
Su Xiangwan nodded and said, "There are rumors that the college entrance examination may be reinstated. I've got nothing else to do anyway, so I'd like to take the exam for a university."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Yanxiao and asked, "What do you think about me going back to school?"
Gu Yanxiao: "Just do what you want to do, don't worry about me. Besides, I won't have much time to spend with you after I go back to the army, so having something to do will keep you from getting bored."
As for having Su Xiangwan accompany the army, Gu Yanxiao had not considered it.
Anyway, the military region isn't far from here. He's not on a mission, and as long as he's not on duty, he can come back.
The living conditions in the army were far inferior to those at the Su residence, so he naturally couldn't bear to let her come and accommodate him again.
Let her stay here. With Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu taking care of her, her quality of life will definitely be far better than in the army.
"You understand me best."
Su Xiangwan smiled and nodded. She hadn't decided what she wanted to do in the future, anyway.
Since that's the case, I might as well take advantage of this time to rest and prepare for pregnancy to review some of my previous knowledge.
When the time comes, taking the entrance exam for a university in Beijing to improve one's academic qualifications will ultimately be a beneficial thing.
"Is your sister-in-law going to take the college entrance exam?"
Gu Yanfei, who happened to be carrying a fruit platter, asked in surprise.
“Yes! Yan Fei, do you want to come along?” Su Xiangwan asked with a smile.
"Huh? Can I?" Gu Yanfei asked hesitantly.
She loved playing with weapons since she was a child, but she never really cared much about studying.
"Of course, we're just idling around anyway, why not use this time to enrich ourselves?" Su Xiangwan asked, then casually added, "Yan Fei, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
“From now on…” Gu Yanfei frowned. From childhood to adulthood, she had only been in contact with the children of military personnel in the compound.
When it comes to my own hobbies, I can't think of any.
"I can't think of anything."
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. You can review your high school knowledge first, and then make a decision later," Su Xiangwan reassured her.
Gu Yanfei subconsciously pictured a man with gold-rimmed glasses, whose elegant demeanor made him seem like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.
In particular, whenever he appeared at the hospital, he was always surrounded by chief physicians and hospital directors who were considered unapproachable by others.
And those who were clearly in high positions all looked up at him with respect...
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei nodded solemnly: "Okay, my sister-in-law and I will study together. When the college entrance examination is reinstated, we will try our best to get into a good university."
He is so outstanding. If I work a little harder, and then a little harder, is there any chance that I can get a little closer to him?
"If you get into university, I'll give you that tank made from bullets."
Seeing his younger sister's eager expression, Gu Yanxiao spoke up.
"Big brother, are you serious?" Gu Yanfei's eyes lit up. She had been eyeing her brother's tank made of bullets for a long time, but her brother refused to give it to her no matter what.
Unexpectedly, they relented at this point.
"We'll talk about it after you pass the exam."
Gu Yanxiao's expression remained indifferent.
"Don't look down on me. As long as the college entrance examination is reinstated, I'm sure I'll be able to pass it."
Gu Yanfei raised her chin arrogantly, and then said to Su Xiangwan, "Sister-in-law, you must be my witness, so that my brother won't renege on his debts later."
“Okay, if he dares to renege on his debt, I'll beat him up for you.” Su Xiangwan nodded and agreed with a smile.
In the days that followed, apart from accompanying Su Xiangwan to prenatal checkups when Gu Yanxiao went to the military base, Gu Yanfei spent most of her time studying diligently with her books.
Originally, Su Xiangwan was just reading to pass the time in her spare time, but influenced by her, her attitude became much more serious.
In order to avoid the situation where Gu Yanfei passes the exam while I fail, wouldn't I be unable to set a good example?
Those who studied diligently were not only Su Xiangwan and her friends in the capital.
Xu Yirou, who was far away in Liaoning Province, was also studying diligently.
It is worth mentioning that the teacher positions at Bakushu Village School have also been finalized during this period.
One of them was Xu Yirou, and the other two were Li Aiping and Shao Guoyang, who had always kept a low profile.
Gu's father and Tong Liqun believed that since the two were husband and wife, they could cooperate better.
Because at that time, the school teachers will not only be responsible for teaching and nurturing students, but also for feeding the children.
If the couple works together, there will be no need to worry about the teachers who are hired separately having to consider the couple's meals.
Moreover, with a male teacher like Shao Guoyang around, some tasks that require physical strength can be handled better.
After finalizing the school teachers' information, and with the Lunar New Year fast approaching, Mr. and Mrs. Gu finally took action after receiving another call from Su Xiangwan inviting them to spend the holiday in Beijing.
"Brother Jianguo, are you saying that you and your wife are going to the capital for the New Year?" Tong Liqun's joyful smile vanished instantly upon hearing the purpose of Gu's father's visit.
After spending time with them, he realized that both Mr. and Mrs. Gu were exceptionally talented individuals.
Even if such talented people don't work in the fields, their guidance on village development can greatly benefit the villagers.
But now, the other party says they want to go to the capital for the New Year.
Tong Liqun was truly terrified; once the other party left, they would never return to their Bakushu Village!
