Chapter 166 College Entrance Examination
In the days following the college entrance examination, Su Xiangwan spent her days studying with Gu Yanfei, and in her spare time, she played with the children.
That evening, she focused entirely on dealing with Gu Yanxiao, who had finally managed to get back to eating meat.
Several months passed peacefully yet happily.
On this day, Su Xiangwan and Gu's mother were playing with Niannian, who was trying hard to roll over.
Then Gu Yanfei ran in from outside, beaming with joy.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
Hearing her voice filled with undisguised joy, Nian Nian looked at her curiously, only to fall back down hard after turning halfway over.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Mr. Gu, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes fixed on his grandson turning over, glared at his daughter with a hint of annoyance.
His precious grandson struggled for a long time before finally managing to turn over.
My daughter's outburst made all my effort for nothing...
"Wow! Is my Niannian about to turn her life around?"
Gu Yanfei's attention was also drawn to the dancing Nian Nian.
However, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie didn't know you were turning over. I'm sorry to bother you. Come on, turn over again for Auntie to see."
Seeing that she was talking to her, Niannian opened her mouth and gave her a toothless smile.
Then, having gotten tired of flipping through the pages, he simply started playing with his toes.
"I'm not flipping anymore!"
Gu Yanfei was immediately disappointed. She had thought she would see her baby turn things around every year!
"You were making such a fuss, but you haven't even said what it is yet!"
Looking at her daughter's carefree attitude, Gu's mother sighed helplessly and asked.
"Oh dear! I just forgot about it because I saw that you'd turn things around every year."
Gu Yanfei slapped her forehead and looked at Su Xiangwan, saying, "Sister-in-law, you were right! The higher-ups have issued a notice saying that the college entrance examination will be reinstated!"
Su Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat. Although she had already guessed it, she still showed a surprised expression: "Really? That's great! Yan Fei, you've been studying so hard these past few months, you'll definitely get into your favorite university!"
"Sister-in-law?" Gu Yanfei looked at her with some doubt. "Don't you plan to take the college entrance examination?"
Like Gu Yanfei, Su Xiangwan has been reading books whenever she has free time these days.
Therefore, the whole family tacitly agreed that if the college entrance examination were reinstated, Su Xiangwan would also go to university.
That's why Gu's mother would bring Niannian to her room to sleep almost every night.
But now, Su Xiangwan's words clearly implied that she had no intention of taking the college entrance examination, so Gu Yanfei and her parents looked at her with considerable surprise.
Su Xiangwan was slightly taken aback, and said, "I think I'd better not, I still need to stay home and take care of Niannian..."
"Daughter." Just then, Gu's father suddenly interrupted her and said, "If you want to go to school, then go ahead. Your mother and I will take care of you here, Niannian!"
“Yes! Daughter, you’re only twenty-two this year, which is the prime of your youth. Just do what you want to do. As for Niannian, your dad and I have nothing to do at home, so it’s perfect for taking care of Niannian.”
"Yes! With you at home, you've actually taken away my chance to hug Niannian. Neither of us is working, so we're just counting on Niannian to keep us company!"
Listening to Mr. and Mrs. Gu talking back and forth, it was as if they were afraid that she would give up her own choice for the sake of Niannian.
Going to college...
Originally, Su Xiangwan had not really thought about this idea.
But now that Gu Yanfei brought it up, and Gu's father and mother said so, Su Xiangwan suddenly felt that this was indeed a good choice.
She is only twenty-two years old, and her space is filled with supplies and wealth that she could not use up in several lifetimes.
His parents are the richest people in Shanghai.
My older brother is a big shot on Wall Street.
My second brother is a top-notch surgical expert.
My husband is a division commander in the military region.
On the contrary, I am now a complete freeloader.
To be honest, it was really a bit of a letdown!
Even if you're going to be a lazy bum, you should be one willingly, not passively!
On the contrary, just as Mr. and Mrs. Gu said, they can take care of the children, so they only need to do what they want to do.
Why doesn't she go to university and have some fun?
Even if I really don't want to continue studying by then, I can always take a leave of absence!
Thinking about this, she nodded and said, "Mom and Dad are right. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so going to university is a good thing."
"Yay! That's great! My sister-in-law will be with me for the college entrance exam!" Gu Yanfei jumped up with joy when she heard that Su Xiangwan had agreed to take the exam with her.
Gu's mother glared at her amusedly and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. What if your sister-in-law passes the exam but you don't, and then you come crying to us?"
Gu Yanfei gave a cute hum and said, "Mom, don't look down on me. I've been studying very hard these past few months, there's absolutely no way I won't pass the exam."
Hearing her say that, Su Xiangwan asked, "Little sister, which school are you planning to apply to?"
Gu Yanfei put away her smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to apply to a normal university in Beijing so I can become a teacher. After all, our country's educational resources are still too scarce."
Seeing the look of pity in her eyes, Su Xiangwan knew perfectly well that she must be thinking of the children in Bakushu Village, who, at such a young age, were earning work points in the fields just like the adults.
yes!
Their country's educational resources are still too scarce.
Only by educating the next generation well can their country become prosperous and strong.
"Little sister, you can definitely do it, and you will definitely become a glorious people's teacher!"
Su Xiangwan looked at Gu Yanfei with encouraging eyes. They had all seen Gu Yanfei's hard work these past few days.
Moreover, Gu Yanfei was originally a person with excellent grades and extremely high talent.
If even she can't pass the exam, then there's even less chance for others.
Amidst everyone's laughter and conversation, Gu Yanxiao returned.
Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, he asked curiously, "What are you all talking about? I could hear your laughter from outside the yard."
"Big brother, we were talking about taking the college entrance exam! The policy has been released, and the college entrance exam will be reinstated soon!" Gu Yanfei couldn't wait to share her joy with him.
Then, as if showing off, she said to Gu Yanxiao, "My sister-in-law has also agreed to take the college entrance exam with me! Hehe, then our family will have two college students!"
