Chapter 22 Chapter 22
Hearing that his answers were all correct, even Sun Dongfang looked over in surprise.
"Didn't you review?"
Could it be that Xiaopang has been studying secretly behind their backs?
"I really didn't review. Yesterday and today combined, I only spent five or six hours memorizing words."
Indeed, several people live together, and Xiaopang doesn't like to go out and stays in the dormitory all the time. There is no place for him to learn secretly, right?
Even Xiaopang himself couldn't quite believe it.
After checking a few more answers, he was even more surprised.
Not only did he get the difficult questions at the end right, but he also got the same answers as his roommate for the previous questions.
Is it possible that I can really pass this exam?
Xiaopang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Jia Hui, who was standing by, had a look of despair. He was listening to the two people's answers, but no matter how hard he thought, the answer didn't match what he had just given.
To be honest, Jia Hui didn't review well before this exam.
But he thought he was better than Xiaopang, at least he had memorized the words three days in advance.
I didn't expect to do so poorly in the exam this time, even worse than Xiaopang.
Although Jia Hui is rebellious, he has been raised by his family for so many years and his competitive spirit is no less than others.
After learning the news that he had done poorly in the exam, he was very depressed for a while. He didn't even want to eat dinner and returned to the dormitory early.
This is not the time to comfort, nor is there a need for comfort.
Fatty led the dorm leader toward the school gate. "Come on, Boss! I'm treating you to dinner tonight. Try my lunch sister's dishes today. They're delicious!"
The two chatted for a long time and came out a little late.
There was already a long queue in front of He Tingting's stall.
Standing at the end of the line, Xiaopang couldn't help but sigh about today's exam.
"I really didn't expect that I could perform beyond my level today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the people in front of him discussing a similar topic.
"Damn, I knew everything on the test today. My mind was so clear during the test. My trip to Confucius Temple yesterday was worth it."
The words of the student in front quickly aroused the same feelings of the people in front.
"Yeah, me too. I did exceptionally well on the test today, and I was able to memorize things much faster than usual."
Gradually more and more people started discussing this topic.
Xiaopang pricked up his ears and listened. They were such a long team, and they all did well in the exam today.
He didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as a good omen.
When it was his turn in the queue, he even showed off to He Tingting.
"Sister, you are definitely a lucky person. After eating your meal at noon, I did much better on the test this afternoon."
Xiaopang was not the first person to say this to her.
In fact, He Tingting listened to it at least a dozen times that night.
She didn't take it seriously the first time she heard it.
When more people started talking about it, He Tingting figured it out.
Most of the things produced in the blind box system have a refreshing effect.
But now it seems that the effect is not too exaggerated. It is like warming and tonic herbs. You have to take them for a period of time before you can feel the therapeutic effect.
Thinking about delivering food to the professor tomorrow, He Tingting didn't pay much attention to it and just kept it in mind.
After a busy day, I packed up and went home at 9 o'clock in the evening.
When He Tingting brought He Lili home, it was already dark and her second aunt was asleep in the house.
The yard was a bit messy, as if something had been dropped, and there were some beans scattered on the ground that had not been picked up.
He Tingting went into the room to take a look.
The room was clean, with no signs of having been robbed or searched, and my second aunt in the east room was sleeping soundly.
He Tingting didn't wake her up. She tidied up and went to sleep.
When Li Hua woke up the next morning, she asked about what happened last night.
"Second Aunt, when I came back, I saw that all the beans in the yard had been scattered. Is there anything wrong at home?"
Li Hua felt a little embarrassed.
He stammered, "Well, your second uncle, that bastard, came over yesterday, and we accidentally spilled it while we were arguing."
The two have not divorced yet.
He Tingting thought about this and reminded him again.
"Second Aunt, did you go to the Women's Federation? Didn't you talk to them about the divorce?"
Whenever this topic was brought up in the past, Li Hua was always very concerned.
She always looks like she's looking forward to a divorce.
She didn't know what happened today, she was a little absent-minded. When she heard He Tingting mention this matter, she just said a few vague words and said she would go and ask about it in the next two days.
He Tingting always felt something was wrong.
She always trusted her sixth sense.
So he asked in detail, "What did your second uncle say to you yesterday?"
"Well, what else can I say? It's all about money."
When Li Hua answered, he looked left and right, but he didn't dare to look directly at He Tingting.
Seeing her like this, He Tingting immediately became alert.
Something is wrong, something is very wrong!
"He's asking you for money again?"
He Tingting asked calmly.
As far as she knew, this second uncle would never give up gambling easily and owed a lot of money outside.
Counting the days, I guess it’s time to pay back the money.
He has already sold all the He family's land. Now if he doesn't think of a way to make money, he can only sell his house.
This era is not like a few decades later, when house values appreciate rapidly.
Rural houses are not worth much nowadays.
Rather than buying other people’s houses, villagers prefer to build their own.
Even if He Guan wanted to sell the house for money, it would not be that easy.
So the question is, where does this money come from?
"About that. He wanted three hundred, and I didn't have any money to give him, so he made a scene in the yard for a while."
Li Hua spoke selectively.
It was true that He Guan came to ask for money yesterday, and he did knock over the beans, but after the two quarreled, they reached a consensus.
divorce.
He Guan agreed to divorce him and even sent him a consent form in advance with his name on it.
As long as Li Hua was willing to help him do something, he would give her the consent letter.
The opportunity for freedom was right before his eyes, so there was no reason for Li Hua to disagree.
He Guan whispered in her ear at that time.
"I know Tingting took you in recently, and you're grateful to her. How about this? I don't need you to do too much. Tomorrow night at two o'clock, you quietly get up, open the door, and then ignore everything and go back to sleep. You can always do this, right?"
As soon as Li Hua heard it, he knew that he hadn't held his fart well.
I guess he was thinking about the money He Tingting earned these days.
She wanted to refuse, but when the consent form was waved in front of her, she agreed for some reason.
Feeling guilty, Li Hua didn't dare look He Tingting in the eye and kept talking about other things.
"It's no use having Second Uncle always making such a fuss," He Tingting said, staring at Li Hua. "Next time I leave, I'll lock the door from the outside. And don't answer anyone who knocks during the day, lest they keep coming to you to ask for money."
Li Hua felt nervous after hearing this.
If it was locked from the outside, she wouldn't be able to open the door.
So he quickly said, "Let's do it in two days. Forget about today. I'm used to that bastard's behavior."
What he said was inconsistent and he was obviously nervous.
He Tingting heard the key information from it.
Let’s talk about it in two days, not today.
What's going to happen today?
She appeared calm on the surface, but in fact she had already made a plan of defense in her mind.
"Okay, then Second Aunt, please lock the door from the inside."
After saying this, He Tingting wiped her hands and went into the house.
He Tingting collected all the money she earned these days and put it in a biscuit box in the cabinet.
She took out all the money, stuffed it into her waist bag, and prepared to go to the bank first.
These days, it’s very troublesome to go to the bank and queue for half a day to withdraw or deposit money.
In addition, there are always thieves lurking around the bank all year round, so villagers rarely go there to deposit money.
But although it is troublesome to deposit the money in the bank, it is better than having it stolen by He Guan.
He Tingting decided to take the trouble.
Today's menu is still curry.
The ingredients in the curry set meal prescribed by the system last time had not been used up yet, so He Tingting replaced the beef with chicken, which could barely be considered a change of style.
Curry is easy to make and also gives He Tingting time to do other things.
She left home twenty minutes earlier than usual.
Fortunately, Li Hua was absent-minded and didn't care about the time difference.
When I took He Lili to the bank by bicycle, the little girl put her arms around her waist.
The body temperature was high in the summer, and the place where she hugged was particularly hot, which brought He Tingting back to her senses.
She suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lili.
He Guan hasn't given up on getting Lili to Liu Jing's house yet, right?
The more He Tingting thought about it, the more scared she became.
So I went to see Guo Zhuang before getting busy at noon.
"Brother Zhuang, I have a favor and I want to ask you for help."
He Tingting spoke a little embarrassedly.
Setting up a stall outside is a business that requires you to go out early and come back late. It is tiring enough to be busy all the time, so you especially need rest.
He Tingting felt very embarrassed because she wanted to ask Guo Zhuang for help today and it would disturb his rest.
But for the moment, she really couldn't think of a friend more suitable than Guo Zhuang.
"If you need any help, just tell me. You're welcome."
Guo Zhuang is very straightforward.
Even when Jia Hui made these sarcastic remarks, he felt sorry for Tingting and wanted to do something to make up for it.
After doing business next to He Tingting, Guo Zhuang's own business also improved a lot, and this idea became more and more important.
But He Tingting's business is really doing very well.
Guo Zhuang had this idea for a long time, but he never found an opportunity to implement it.
After waiting for a long time for He Tingting to ask him for help, Guo Zhuang agreed without even asking for the specific details.
"I can help with anything!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Dazhuang."
He Tingting said a few words in his ear.
"Please bring a friend with you when the time comes. If it really happens as I said, just hold the person down."
Guo Zhuang frowned when he heard this, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
This day was busy as usual.
The difference was that at nine o'clock in the evening, He Tingting did not go home directly, but instead followed Guo Zhuang to another house in the village.
After Guo Zhuang pulled his two friends up from the kang, the group returned to the He family in a mighty procession.
Li Hua, who was anxiously waiting at home, was suddenly shocked when he saw so many people.
"Tingting, why did you bring so many people back?"
"Oh, some friends came to Zhuang's house and there's no room for them, so I asked them to stay in the west room of my house. It's okay, Second Aunt, they'll only stay for one day."
Li Hua forced a smile, already wondering whether he should go and open the door in the middle of the night.
But He Tingting's family didn't have a landline, and it was not convenient for her to go outside to find a public phone so late.
Since I couldn't inform He Guan that something had changed, I could only wait patiently until night.
That day, Li Hua slept very uneasily and woke up early at one o'clock in the middle of the night.
She carefully looked at the He sisters on the kang, and only felt relieved when she confirmed that they were both fast asleep.
The house is not very soundproof, and it is quiet at night, so I can faintly hear the snoring of a man in the other room.
Li Hua felt more at ease. When the time came, he stood up on tiptoe and walked to the gate.
The sound of the iron lock sliding was very obvious late at night.
Li Hua opened the door.
