Ye Zhaozhao closed her doors to visitors, and the two of them could only think about all the things they had built.
They couldn't bear the heartache of not finding jobs, so the two of them went to Kyoto.
The platoon leader went home and told Qi Hongmei what he had said, and Qi Hongmei naturally chose to feed the pigs.
She went to work the next day. Not only that, but a few days later, everyone was shocked when they saw Qi Hongmei.
It turned out that Qi Hongmei had gone to the county town to sell her hair to supplement her family's income.
People didn't understand Qi Hongmei's actions; what was the point of raising such a useless son?
Sun Xiuhua had finished making clothes for Ye Zhaozhao's children. Seeing how well the five children were dressed, someone couldn't help but comment.
"This Commander Gu's wife is really willing to spend money. The children are still young, do they need to wear new clothes every now and then?"
When Jin Mandong saw the five children's new clothes, she wished she could go up and tear them off and put them on herself.
Zhu Cui had just stepped out when she heard this sour grapes comment.
"Commander Gu's wife is very capable, and besides, this is a dress made of flawed cloth, how much could it cost?"
"Don't tell me, I often see Commander Gu's wife going to the post office, where people send things and money. They're not like us."
"Instead of gossiping, you should read more books."
Zhu Cui couldn't hold back any longer, said something, and then rushed off to work.
When Ye Zhaozhao arrived at school, she brought pickled radishes that Wen Qiaoling liked. Wen Qiaoling didn't have much to give Ye Zhaozhao, so she just gave her money.
"Zhaozhao, please accept it. That way I'll feel at ease eating it."
Wen Qiaoling ate quite a lot of food from Ye Zhaozhao. She wasn't stupid; she wouldn't keep eating for free because someone had given her food as a favor.
Ye Zhaozhao thought she was being very considerate, so she accepted the food to avoid the girl wanting more later but being too embarrassed to ask.
Upon arriving at the classroom, everyone had been studying like madmen ever since they heard that there would be a grading exam this week. Jiang Tong decided to cram at the last minute.
"Zhaozhao, do you know? Guo Xiaomei went to Teacher Xu, wanting him to tutor her privately, but Teacher Xu refused."
Ye Zhaozhao felt that Teacher Xu must be quite busy on weekdays, and it was understandable that he didn't have time to teach students.
But Jiang Tong said no, because Teacher Xu clearly stated that she didn't want to teach.
The students in the class all knew about this, and they were all curious.
How could Guo Xiaomei be so bold as to go to Teacher Xu? They wouldn't dare.
You guys don't know yet, do you?
"What do you know? Tell me quickly."
The female classmate then mentioned that Guo Xiaomei had dated Teacher Xu's son.
However, it seems that the relationship didn't work out because of family opposition, so she thinks that Teacher Xu will help her for the sake of her son.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. I heard that Guo Xiaomei dumped him."
That woman lived in the same compound as Guo Xiaomei, so she knew her quite well.
Guo Xiaomei had previously thought that Teacher Xu's son was just a poor boy.
So she was indifferent to him, and it was she who initiated the breakup, but she never expected it.
This person turned out to be Teacher Xu's son, which is why she went directly to him.
"Teacher Xu probably doesn't think much of her."
As everyone was talking, Guo Xiaomei came in, and everyone quickly dispersed. Guo Xiaomei's expression wasn't very good; she hadn't expected Teacher Xu to be so disrespectful.
Not only did he refuse her, but he also praised Ye Zhaozhao in front of her, saying that their learning atmosphere was very good.
She can join them, but Guo Xiaomei won't go.
She had already made up her mind; she wanted to pass the exam and make Teacher Xu regret it.
On the day of the exam, several teachers conducted the exam together, and the students took turns taking it.
Guo Xiaomei was at the front of the line. She was a little nervous, and because of her nervousness, her hearing was terrible; she couldn't hear the radio clearly.
"Excuse me, do you need me to turn the volume up a bit?"
"good."
Guo Xiaomei thought it was because the volume was too low, but it turned out that she couldn't understand what was being said on the radio at all.
The subsequent reading was also fraught with difficulties.
Guo Xiaomei's writing and speaking skills are alright, but she keeps thinking about surpassing Ye Zhaozhao, while her teachers feel that she still needs to improve.
Soon it was Ye Zhaozhao's turn. Ye Zhaozhao was calm and composed. In her previous life, she had experienced many exams, so she was already immune to them.
He got full marks in listening, reading, writing, and speaking, leaving the teachers stunned.
"Congratulations, classmate, you've successfully passed the CET-4 exam."
No one can pass the CET-4 exam on their first try, and teachers know that too.
This exam was just a preliminary assessment of the students' abilities; the original plan was to try again next time if they didn't pass this time.
Surprisingly, someone actually passed the test. Ye Zhaozhao got up, thanked the teacher, and walked out.
Next up was Liang Fu, who also came out with a big smile on his face.
Guo Xiaomei felt she was doomed this time; she had just heard Ye Zhaozhao's fluent voice from outside.
After comparing herself to others, she realized she wouldn't pass the exam this time.
After the exam, the school gave them a half-day off, and Ye Zhaozhao thought that it had been a long time since she had visited the courtyard house.
He took the bus and saw her arrive, so Shen Bo quickly said.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, I have something to ask you."
It turned out that as Shen Bo's business grew bigger and bigger, someone approached him and said they wanted to cooperate with him.
Shen Bo taught him how to make braised meat, and then Shen Bo invested in opening a braised meat shop.
"How much money did that person say he was prepared to take?"
He said he would give 50,000.
Ye Zhaozhao felt that 50,000 was not a small amount in this era, let alone opening a braised meat shop.
He could have just found a master chef to learn from, why did he have to choose Shen Bo?
“Shen Bo, I think this is a trap. You should just refuse.”
