Xu Zhixia's eyes curved, "Your praise makes me feel sweet. I even think I gave you too little. I have extra eyebrow pencils, so I'll give you another one."
Song Jingtian blinked and said playfully, "Sister-in-law, I can still praise you in different ways."
Xu Zhixia pushed her and said, "You are not someone who is short of money, but you are still thinking about my little money."
Song Jingtian said as a matter of course: "Oh, it was given by my sister-in-law, so it must be a good thing. I don't mind having too much, because I have a money-eating beast at home.
The money is not enough, so I have to find a way to get some from you. Mom, when will you give me some gold coins? I'm hungry, I need food!"
Qin Huan glanced at her unhappily, "Hundreds of dollars in allowances, not counting benefits, where did you spend them? That's not how you raise a child.
Your father and I are almost buried in the earth, and you are still thinking about our little coffin money, you unfilial daughter! I was counting on you and Song Jingfeng to honor us!"
Song Jingtian clung to her shoulders and said in a rare coquettish way, "Mom, we are professional parasites, so don't count on us. My brother and I both hope our father will become a dragon and our mother will become a phoenix. If you work harder, we can have a good life, right?"
Brigade Commander Song's eyes widened when he heard her words that went against Tian Gang's will. He said in disbelief, "Girl, don't you feel sorry for your parents?"
Song Jingtian smiled and said, "Dad, who said I don't love you? If you don't move, your bones will rust. Life lies in exercise. I am also doing this for your and mom's good. I am filial."
Qin Huan snorted, "Unfilial daughter."
Song Jingtian spread her hands and said, "I am so filial, okay."
The others in the room laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. Miao Xiuying added, "I wonder when the admission letter will be sent out? I can't wait."
Jiang Yan calculated and said slowly: "We will probably receive the admission letter around January. By then, we can pack up and go home for the New Year."
Miao Xiuying clapped her hands and smiled happily, "Then let's count the days! I'll take some time to collect some dry goods. The second brother's family likes them very much. I'll also send some to my brother and sister-in-law's family. I wonder how Xiaolei did in the exam?"
Jiang Yan made the final decision, "It's no problem for him to go to college."
For her family, the math, physics and chemistry self-study books she gave were all photocopies of the originals, and the others were mixed with some irrelevant ones. If the competition became fierce, she would have no advantage, and she was not stupid.
Miao Xiuying smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "Xiao Yan, if you say he can pass the exam, then he will definitely pass. I will call them in a couple of days to ask about the details."
She cares about everything in her hometown, and is willing to lend a hand if anyone has difficulties.
After all, they are brother and sister. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. We will help each other as much as we can.
She hates poor relatives who ask for money from her, but she is not averse to normal human interactions.
Aunt Hu had just returned from outside with her basket when someone pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Your son-in-law and daughter have both taken the exam. Are they confident? In ten days or half a month, they should get the admission letter, right? Oh, I regret not signing up my son and daughter."
"You're right not to apply. They say many people were dragged out of the examination room. You don't want your son or daughter to suffer that, do you? Can you still take the exam next year?"
Aunt Hu looked at their overt and covert inquiries and said directly, "Whether or not one can pass the exam is not up to me. What's wrong with your brains? Don't you think that migrant workers can pass the exam? You must be stubborn. It's no use regretting it now. My daughter and son-in-law will definitely pass the exam. I won't say anything more. I have to go back to cook."
After saying this, she was too lazy to talk to them and just walked away.
The two of them stamped their feet in anger, "Tsk, that's nonsense, but she made it sound so real. The one who graded the papers was her relative, she's sure he passed the exam!
There may be something fishy going on here! The family members of the old cadres speak differently. We don’t have the confidence to do that! If she gets a few dozen points on the test, how can she hold her head up in the hospital? "
"Hu Xue'er is fine, but her son-in-law is just a peasant. If he really passes the exam, it would be a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Many people from the academy went to take the exam, but seeing them all come back in despair was in stark contrast to the Lu family's confidence in victory.
Miao Xiuying took her child out for a walk, and those people were asking her, "Sister Miao, how did Xiaoyan do in the exam?"
Miao Xiuying said blindly: "My Xiaoyan is waiting for the admission letter from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Didn't yours also take the exam? How did you do?
If all of them pass the exam, then our courtyard will produce many college students, and when it gets out, people will say that our family courtyard has a high level of education.”
The man smiled awkwardly and said, "My child fainted in the middle of the exam and didn't take the test afterwards. Let's see if he can get into a technical secondary school next year. It's too difficult to get into university. When will your family hold a top scholar banquet? Let us share in the joy!"
Everyone seemed to believe that Jiang Yan's title was a foregone conclusion. Some people were jealous and said, "It's too early for you to say that. It's still uncertain whether you can get into Tsinghua or Peking University. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face?"
She is a girl, and has some education, but she is still far from Tsinghua University or Peking University. If she really gets in, I will tear my head off and let you sit on it."
Miao Xiuying squinted at her and said, "Really? Can you twist your head off and let me sit on it? I'm putting this on the table. My Xiaoyan is not the top scholar in the country, but she is also the top scholar in the province."
The others looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing, obviously not believing what she said.
What does it mean to be the top scholar in the province or the top scholar in the country? Can they produce one?
Don't exaggerate, or people will laugh at you.
A kind sister-in-law said, "Sister, wait and see after the exam. I also believe Xiaoyan has the ability."
If others don't believe it, Miao Xiuying won't have to correct them. It's not the first time that these ignorant people have been slapped in the face.
She even told this to Jiang Yan as a joke, but Jiang Yan didn't comment. She was still very confident about Tsinghua University and Peking University.
In Yun Province, Lu Lin relaxed for a few days and took some time to go back to the countryside. Seeing Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian looking listless and not motivated to work, he couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so lifeless. You can still take the exam next year. How do you know you did poorly before the scores are out? Can you be a little more confident?
For example, I can’t get into university, but I still have hope of getting into a technical secondary school. When my parents and my younger siblings come back, we’ll work out what skills we should learn so that we can find a job and support our family better.”
