Chapter 139 College Entrance Examination
Jiang Chen took Ye Rou out for a drive. Halfway through the drive, Ye Rou said she wanted to drive too.
In her previous life, she wasted three summer vacations in college trying to get a driver's license. She failed the second part four out of five times and finally passed it on the last try. It took a lot of effort to get her license. Unfortunately, after graduation, she was too busy with work in the hospital, and buying a car and paying for insurance was too expensive, so she didn't have the chance to drive on the road even after getting her license.
Now that the opportunity was in front of her, she immediately expressed her desire to drive.
Jiang Chen got out of the car and gave her the driving seat.
Ye Rou twisted her leg when she got out of the car. She secretly glanced at Jiang Chen, and when she saw that he didn't notice, she pretended to be fine and continued walking. However, the boots were really rubbing her ankle, and she gasped in pain.
Zhao Cui was pregnant and in a bad mood. The day before yesterday, she suddenly had the urge to take her and Zhou Nian for a walk in the town. Ye Rou had a lot of money.
There was her own salary at the clinic and the money Jiang Chen earned, and bundles of various bills filled the box that Aunt Zhou gave her to store her things.
So when she saw the pair of black boots at the supply and marketing cooperative, she fell in love with them at first sight and bought them for 70 yuan.
She put it on beautifully today.
But this pair of boots is really good-looking but not practical. When she put them on and walked, she felt that the soles were very hard. When she took Zhang Yang for a walk to the village committee, they even rubbed her heels. She now felt like a mermaid princess who had just come ashore. Every step she took was excruciatingly painful, as if she was walking on the edge of a knife.
"What's wrong with your feet?" Jiang Chen stared at Ye Rou's feet.
Ye Rou couldn't help it. Her calves trembled in pain and she cried out, "It hurts."
Jiang Chen carried her into the car and took off her shoes and socks. Her heels were rubbed red and some of the skin was broken and bleeding.
Ye Rou's feet were held in the rough and hot hands, and she felt itchy and moved unconsciously.
A big hand closed and grabbed her foot. Ye Rou looked up and saw Jiang Chen with a gloomy face and an unhappy expression.
He shaved his head, which made him look more ferocious.
Ye Rou hugged his neck, pressed her face against his like a spoiled child, and said softly, "I won't wear it anymore."
There was no medicine in the car, so the plan of driving freely was terminated. Jiang Chen drove the car back to the clinic, got out, carried Ye Rou out of the back seat, and strode into the clinic.
The master had not returned yet, and Ye Rou was placed on a single hospital bed. She stood with her feet raised, directing Jiang Chen to get the medicine box.
Jiang Chen came back with a medicine box, picked up her foot, and carefully wiped the wound with a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
Iodine contains alcohol, and it felt like a burning pain when applied to the wound. Ye Rou gasped softly in pain.
Jiang Chen moved more gently. After applying the medicine, Ye Rou was fine. His clothes on his back were soaked.
Ye Rou was lying on the single bed with a quilt on her legs and her feet resting on it.
Meimei went out and came back in a miserable state. Ye Rou shyly raised her arms to cover her face.
Jiang Chen stood up and said, "Stay still."
"Okay." Ye Rou replied in a muffled voice.
Jiang Chen glanced at the person lying like an ostrich on the bed and strode out.
Ye Rou put down her arms and saw that Jiang Chen was gone. She was bored, so she jumped off the bed, walked barefoot to the table, picked up the political book, and lay back on the bed.
When Jiang Chen came back from Zhou's house with the shoes, Ye Rou greeted him obediently.
Jiang Chen glanced at the black footprints on the bed sheet and did not expose her.
Ye Rou thought she had fooled it, but when Jiang Chen came back a while later, he covered her feet with a hot and wet towel and rubbed the soles of her feet. She subconsciously retracted her legs due to the itch, and was grabbed by a big hand.
Jiang Chen waved the black towel in front of Ye Rou.
Ye Rou's face turned red immediately and she became completely obedient.
In the evening, Jiang Chen carried me back to Zhou's house. As soon as I entered, it was extremely lively inside.
The young man I met in the morning sat next to Zhou Nian, smiling brightly.
Zhou Nian was amused by him and her face flushed with laughter.
Zhou Liang, on the other hand, sat beside him with his arms folded, looking very unhappy.
Zhou Nian came over and saw her being held in her arms, with a boot in her hand and a political book on her belly. He asked worriedly, "Xiao Rou, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Rou shook the boots in her hand and said softly, "The boots are rubbing my feet."
Zhou Nian's worried expression faded away, he made way and said with a smile, "Go back and lie down."
Zhou Liang, Wang Honghong and even Aunt Zhou all laughed.
Ye Rou buried her face in Jiang Chen's arms. It was so embarrassing.
Jiang Chen carried the person into the house, and Xiao Huihui, who was wearing a pink sweater, rushed over.
Ye Rou called out to it.
Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Huihui. The majestic wolf cub looked strange in a bright pink sweater.
Ye Rou didn't find it strange, she thought it was cute.
Jiang Chen placed Ye Rou on the kang where she was lying.
Ye Rou rolled into the quilt, covered her face, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep."
Jiang Chen lifted the quilt and saw her messy hair, a blush on her face, and her fox eyes sparkling. He paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"How embarrassing." Ye Rou was carried all the way back by Jiang Chen. Many people they met on the way thought she was injured and came up to ask her about her concerns. When they found out that her feet were rubbed by her shoes, they all laughed.
Ye Rou felt depressed after laughing so much.
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow in understanding and coaxed her in a low voice: "It's not shameful."
Ye Rou was discouraged and only heard him say something in a low voice.
“Very cute.”
Ye Rou's eyes widened. Jiang Chen stood with his back to the light, and the light softened his sharp features.
Her heart was beating like a drum, and her body went limp just by looking at him.
After the autumn harvest in Dahe Village, the grain was distributed according to work points, and the farming off-season officially began. The temperature gradually dropped, the autumn wind disappeared without a trace, and the cold winter had arrived.
This year, Dahe Village is quieter than ever before. Families with college entrance examination candidates are preparing nervously, and families without candidates dare not let their guard down either. After all, if they don’t take the exam this year, there are still next year and the year after. It’s better to prepare early and get a job early.
In 1977, the college entrance examination questions were set by provinces, cities and autonomous regions, and the examination time was not unified.
Wen Liang was originally going to leave this sad place, but when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, his parents asked him to take the college entrance examination, so he had to stay for a while.
He came here with his fellow educated youth from the village in a donkey cart. The damp and cold wind from the south made his face look like it was cracked.
While waiting outside the examination room, a group of people gathered together to keep warm when a jeep suddenly drove up to the door.
These days cars are a luxury and few people have ever seen one.
The military green jeep attracted countless people's attention as soon as it arrived.
The car door opened, and Jiang Chen got out of the car wearing a black short down jacket. He opened the passenger door and led Ye Rou out.
Ye Rou looked even more beautiful. She was wearing a long white down jacket, a pink woolen hat, and a white fluffy scarf. Her long hair hung down, and her lips were bright red.
Wen Liang stared at her infatuatedly.
After Ye Rou stood firm, Jiang Chen handed her the flowered bag and adjusted the pink woolen hat and white fluffy scarf on her head.
He said in a deep voice: "Don't be nervous, I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Rou smiled and nodded.
"Brother Jiang, my sister-in-law is not nervous, but Xiao Nian is dying."
Zhou Liang opened the door and took Zhou Nian out from the back seat.
Ye Rou had participated in larger and more serious exams in her later life, so she was mentally prepared for this exam. On the contrary, Zhou Nian was so nervous that she almost vomited.
Zhou Liang encouraged Zhou Nian, and Zhou Nian smiled with a grim expression.
The bell for entering the examination room rang.
Ye Rou took Zhou Nian and waved to Jiang Chen before entering the examination room.
