Chapter 109 Wu Shanshan also wants to take the entrance exam for No. 1 Middle School
Both children were exhausted and fell asleep immediately.
Huang Ling and Song Ying sat in the yard chatting.
"I thought Lin Dongzhe was so awesome! He fell asleep in the tub while taking a bath and hit his head with a bang. It made me laugh to death!"
"Hahahahaha! Then when he wakes up tomorrow, I'm going to laugh at him!"
Song Ying patted Huang Ling's knee and asked, "What do you think?"
"What?" Huang Ling counted on her fingers, pretending not to understand.
"Why are you pretending to be Director Zhou? It's obvious that he's interested in you. You're so smart, don't tell me you didn't see it!" Song Ying slapped Huang Ling hard, making her grit her teeth in pain.
Huang Ling did not answer.
"It's impossible not to like him! Then let me count his advantages for you!" Song Ying began to count on her fingers.
"She's the right age, good-looking, has a good job, is the child of a cadre, and her sister-in-law is one of our own! It couldn't be better! There's nothing to fault about her, and most importantly, she has good character."
Huang Ling smiled.
Song Ying continued:
"He must have been worried about you and Yiming going to Shanghai, so he invited Huailan to go with you. But he didn't follow you on the first day. Instead, he stayed with us so that you could work with peace of mind. I think he was very thoughtful."
"Yeah." Huang Ling hummed.
"You were away that day, so I was keeping an eye on it for you. He always granted Xiaoting's requests. When Xiaoting couldn't make up her mind about the cake, he didn't hesitate. The five of us bought one piece of each of the six flavors and let Xiaoting try and choose first."
"The extra piece belongs to Lin Dongzhe! Hey! Tell me, does he have an iron stomach? He ate two big bowls of rice tonight!"
Huang Ling smiled and nodded.
"So why are you hesitating? Don't you like him?"
"You've spoken so highly of him, how can it be my turn?"
Song Ying was stunned: "What's wrong with you? You are the best."
"I know I'm a good person, but you know how much trouble I went through to get rid of the banker. I'm famous in both factories... In the eyes of many people, I... Anyway, it's definitely not going to go smoothly."
"If someone says something about me, I can fight back, but if someone says something about him, I can only bear it. One or two days is fine, but what about a month or two..."
Huang Ling shook her head. In the end, it might all be a mess.
In the past few months, she has heard too many unpleasant words, even though she had planned it in advance.
She didn't dare to think about what these people would say if she had not planned ahead of time and had insisted on divorcing Zhuang Chaoying.
Song Ying was speechless. She probably understood Huang Ling's considerations.
She herself had many arguments with those who talked about Huang Ling behind her back.
"Let's talk about it later! It's only been a few months since the divorce, and I haven't had enough of being single yet!" Huang Ling clapped her hands.
"That's it." Song Ying looked at Huang Ling with heartache.
"You don't even care how much money you get from this order."
"I just wanted to ask how much it is, but money is not as important as your personal problem!" Song Ying hugged Huang Ling's arm and came over affectionately.
"You worked hard last month, so your salary will be doubled!"
"Ha!" Song Ying covered her mouth. "Don't lie to me. Give me more money for the subsidy!"
"Of course not, public is public and private is private!" Huang Ling shook her head.
"Oh my God!" Song Ying hugged Huang Ling tightly.
"Making money brings me more joy than anything else. Don't think about these things now. Let's make enough money first! There will be many places to spend big money in the future!" Huang Ling was telling Song Ying, and also telling herself.
The two were looking forward to the future, but the Wu family at the end of the alley was in unrest.
They couldn't hear what they were arguing about, but both of them knew.
Wu Shanshan is graduating from elementary school this year, and she expressed her desire to apply to No. 1 Middle School.
Not long ago, when Tuanan came, she specifically asked for advice about the entrance exam to No. 1 Middle School.
Originally, when Wu Jianguo saw that Tuanan was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, he also became interested because Wu Shanshan had good grades and had a chance.
He discussed with Zhang Amei: "I heard that Laozi and Zhuangzi summarized a lot of knowledge. Tunan can review it and successfully pass the entrance exam to No. 1 Middle School."
Zhang A'mei smiled and said, "Xiao Min will definitely take over in the future. Shanshan has no problem getting into a technical secondary school with her grades. After graduation, the government will provide her with a job. Think about it, guaranteed jobs are usually in good places, with good benefits, canteens, bathhouses, kindergartens, and elementary schools. It's easier for girls to find a partner."
Wu Jianguo was a little hesitant. "The country has reinstated the college entrance examination, and university graduates become cadres upon graduation. Laozi and Zhuangzi said that we must send our children to university no matter what. Even Mr. Lin, who didn't care about his children's studies, was persuaded. I heard that Dongzhe's grades are doing well now."
"Shanshan will take the exam, and Xiaomin also wants to take it. Xiaojun is the boy in the family. Whether they take the exam or not, you have to support three college students. Can you afford it?" Zhang A'mei slammed the comb on the table.
When it comes to money, Wu Jianguo becomes timid.
"That doesn't mean you can pass the exam just by taking the test. Shanshan has good grades."
"Wu Jianguo, what do you mean? You mean that if you don't let Xiaomin take the college entrance exam, you will let Shanshan take it. You are so biased!"
"Then what I said is true!"
They are a couple who got married later in life, and their children are their own. At this point, there is nothing more to say.
But Wu Shanshan was determined to get into No. 1 Middle School.
Wu Shanshan brought it up again during dinner today. She told her parents that she had already registered for the exam and borrowed review materials from Tuanan. She had started preparing after the New Year.
She is very confident that she can be admitted to No. 1 Middle School.
As soon as she said that, Zhang A-mei started to speak sarcastically: "I don't think you want to go to a high school and then take the college entrance examination! You want to go to the same school as Zhuang Tunan! You cried like that after he moved away."
After saying this, Zhang A-mei sneered several times.
Zhang Min raised her head: "Wu Shanshan, you like Zhuang Tunan!"
"I don't have any! I just want to go to No. 1 Middle School and take the college entrance exam! Teacher Zhuang said that going to college is completely different from going to a technical secondary school! Aunt Huang even teaches them English! She said that in the future..."
Wu Jianguo also said: "Sister, what are you talking about! How can a child like her have such thoughts?"
Zhang A-mei put down her chopsticks and said, "How old are you? In ancient times, you could have gotten married! I'm not saying anything bad about you, Shanshan, what kind of family are they from? What kind of family are you from? Don't you know?"
Wu Shanshan was extremely ashamed and angry: "I said, it's not like that! I just want to get into No. 1 Middle School and go to university! The teacher also said that destiny is in our own hands. I think I can get in!"
"Even if you pass the exam, then you don't have to pay for school. Our family can barely make ends meet right now, so how can we afford to send you to college? According to me, after graduating from a technical secondary school, you're guaranteed a job. Wouldn't that be good for you to start working and earning money earlier? You don't even know what the situation will be like when you go to college!"
"Anyway, I've already signed up, and I want to give it a try."
Zhang A-mei dropped her chopsticks.
I don’t dare to throw the bowl because it is expensive and the chopsticks can be picked up, washed and used again.
Song Ying whispered to Huang Ling, "Shanshan told me under this tree the other day that Dongzhe and Xiaoting will definitely go to No. 1 Middle School, take the high school entrance exam, and go to college!"
"What did you say?" Huang Ling asked her.
"What else can I say? I can only say that they are still young. We'll talk about it when the time comes." Song Ying sighed.
"We can afford to support her, but Zhang A'mei won't support her. It will only be possible if Zhang Min can also pass the exam and do better than Shanshan." Huang Ling smiled.
"You mean, it's not that she can't afford it, but she doesn't want Shanshan to outweigh Zhang Min."
Huang Ling nodded.
"Oh, Shanshan's grades are really good, what a pity." Song Ying said with some regret.
Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun helped clean the chicken coop and feed the chickens every day, while Zhang Min just lay on the bed and played, never lifting a hand.
How could Zhang A-mei let Wu Shanshan overshadow Zhang Min?
Not to mention that this costs money.
The noise over there stopped. The two looked at each other and were about to go to rest, but they heard footsteps.
It turned out that Wu Shanshan rushed out of the house.
