Chapter 115: College Entrance Examination
When Su Nanzhi heard Qin Yu's words, she couldn't help but smile.
Although the laughter was very small, Qin Yu, who had sharp ears, heard it. She immediately grabbed Su Nanzhi's wrist and said coquettishly, "Are you laughing at my ignorance?"
"I've never seen a foreigner, haven't you?"
The smile on Su Nanzhi's face froze for a moment. She had certainly seen foreigners in her previous life, but Qin Yu's life was frozen at a young age and she died. Naturally, she had never seen foreigners, nor had she seen the more beautiful China.
But in this life, she will take Qin Yu to see foreigners and see a wider world.
"I haven't seen any yet, but I'm sure I'll see foreigners again in the future."
"I want to go to college."
Ding Xiaoli, who was standing by, clenched her fists excitedly when she heard this.
"I also want to go to college and study abroad like my neighbor's sister."
Qin Yu looked at the two pairs of shining eyes in the darkness, and couldn't help but feel full of envy in his heart.
"Nanzhi has been a good student since she was young, and Ding Zhiqing is also a good student. You two will definitely be able to get into university."
While she said this, a trace of regret passed through her heart imperceptibly.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Nanzhi and Ding Zhiqing have a bright future, and she and Brother Shengli will live a good life in the future.
Even the most perfect life will have regrets. She has friends, family, and lover...which is much better than many people.
The atmosphere was so harmonious that she even forgot for a moment that Su Nanzhi was seriously ill and might not live long.
Su Nanzhi and Qin Yu grew up together, so they naturally understand each other well.
"Qin Yu, how do you know you can't do it if you haven't tried hard?"
Qin Yu was stunned.
Then I heard Su Nanzhi continue: "Only by trying can you know if you can do it. If you are afraid of the unknown future, you will never take the first step."
"Although life in the village is simple and plain, are you willing to only see the dew falling on the ears of wheat in the morning and the crops reflected in the sunset?"
Qin Yu: She didn't want to. Although she grew up in the countryside, she was afraid of, and even a little disgusted by, the endless farm work and the perpetually muddy fields. It's just...
"I want to see the first rays of sunrise over Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and I want to see the endless sea."
Su Nanzhi's words turned into scenes before her eyes.
After a long silence, Qin Yu's voice was heard in the room.
"I'm not a good student. I only have a junior high school diploma. I can't even finish high school, let alone college."
Su Nanzhi: "I only have a junior high school diploma."
Ding Xiaoli also spoke up, "Qin Yu, you're such a loser. Look, Sister Su is just like you, but she's so confident. You should learn from her. Don't think about getting married all the time. What's so good about getting married?"
After several contacts with Qin Yu, Ding Xiaoli became more familiar with Qin Yu, and her original silly character was exposed, and she spoke without any concealment.
"Nanzhi is a good student. If Aunt Xiumei hadn't stopped her from studying, she would have been recommended to a private university."
Qin Yu didn't care that Ding Xiaoli was a guest and immediately refuted.
"It's been several years since I went to junior high school. I probably don't remember as much as you do now, but I still want to give it a try." Su Nanzhi's words were half true and half false.
She has a good memory. After reading a book several times, she can remember most of it. She wants to go to college not just to try, but to do it.
Qin Yu: "I'm stupid."
Just as Ding Xiaoli was about to speak, she was stopped by Su Nanzhi.
"It doesn't matter if you don't go to college. There are still many possibilities in life. You can be a farmer, a worker, or take care of the family at home for your husband and children. These are all options." Su Nanzhi's voice was very gentle, without any accusation.
“Just don’t forget to improve yourself no matter what you do.”
"Being a housewife with your palms up is no easier than being a college student."
"The older wives and older women in the village quarreled with the men in their families. The men kept saying that they were eating from the family for free, as if they didn't see that they were busy with things at home and outside."
After Su Nanzhi finished speaking, she stopped talking and the room fell into silence.
Changing a person's mind is not an easy thing, but requires accumulation over time.
Even if she is Qin Yu's good friend, her mind cannot be shaken by just a few words.
Moreover, there is nothing shameful about being a housewife or a farmer. They also contribute to society, but few people can see their contributions.
If Liu Shengli was a good man, Su Nanzhi might not have said so much to Qin Yu.
But Liu Shengli is not like that, and she also happens to know that future knowledge can really change a person's destiny.
Although no one was talking in the room, one could tell from the uneven breathing that no one was sleeping very comfortably.
Especially Qin Yu, the two big dark circles under her eyes made people have no doubt that she didn't sleep all night last night.
Qin Yu yawned. Although he was a little sleepy, he kept thinking about what Su Nanzhi said.
She grew up in the countryside and naturally saw many scenes of men beating and scolding women. Even when her parents quarreled when she was a child, her father felt that his mother seemed to do nothing at home.
Qin Yu couldn't help but shudder when he thought about such a scene happening to him after he got married.
Ji Yingying curled her lips when she saw that her sister-in-law looked listless.
This sister-in-law is the only girl in the family and everyone in the family spoils her.
Although the room she lives in is the smallest in the house, the dowry prepared by her mother-in-law and father-in-law for her sister-in-law is definitely not small.
However, when Ji Yingying thought of the 10 yuan given to her by Liu Shengli's family, she couldn't help feeling a little proud.
When my sister-in-law gets married, we’ll see who can still protect her.
"Oh my, the sun is already burning my butt, and I just got up."
Ji Yingying came over and spoke with a smile.
Su Nanzhi glanced at the still somewhat foggy sky and said to Ji Yingying, "My eyesight hasn't been very good lately. Why can't I see the sun?"
Ji Yingying became pregnant less than a month after marrying into the Qin family. Relying on her pregnancy, she acted domineeringly, except for being afraid of her father-in-law Qin Dacang. When Su Nanzhi squeezed her like this, she immediately became unwilling.
She pointed at Su Nanzhi and was about to curse.
"Nanzhi, Ding Zhiqing, Xiaoyu, come wash up and have breakfast."
At this moment, Wu Shulan's voice rang out. Ji Yingying turned around and hurried towards the main room.
Su Nanzhi and the other two looked at each other, and after washing up, they walked towards the main hall.
Except for Qin Feng and Qin Xue who work in the county town, and Qin Lei who works in the mine, basically everyone is there.
Qin Dacang has three sons. Except for Qin Lei who just got married, his eldest son and second son have given him many grandchildren. However, only Xiaojun, born to the eldest son, lives with them.
So even though his family is large, there aren't many people around except during the New Year and other festivals.
This is also the reason why Qin Dacang agreed to let Su Nanzhi and Ding Xiaoli stay in his home.
Although Qin Dacang is the village chief and his two sons are still working in the county town, their breakfast is not very rich.
Corn tortillas, porridge, some pickles, and the only thing that seemed to have meat was a few boiled eggs placed in the middle of the square table.
"One for Mom and Dad, one for Xiaojun, and one for me since I'm pregnant."
Ji Yingying had quickly divided the eggs and put them into her own bowl. She looked at Qin Yu, who didn't get any eggs, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, you don't mind not getting any eggs, do you?"
