There was a loud banging on the door, so Su Xingran had no choice but to put down the documents in her hand and open the door.
When Su Xingran opened the door, Su Wenli was standing outside. Upon seeing her, Su Xingran immediately tried to close the door.
"Xingran, don't close the door, I need to talk to you." Su Wenli saw Su Xingran about to close the door and quickly pushed it open to stop her.
Su Xingran was very impatient. "Just say what you want to say. Don't waste my time."
"Xingran, could you lend me your high school study materials? I'm also taking the college entrance exam, but I don't have any study materials."
Su Wenli knew that Su Xingran must have the information. Since she was a child, Su Xingran had always cherished every piece of paper. She must still have her books and materials from her first and second years of high school well preserved.
Su Wenli had graduated three years ago, and her high school books and materials were long gone. So when she heard the news that the college entrance examination had been reinstated, she immediately thought of the materials that Su Xingran might have.
"I need to study my books myself, don't bother me while I'm reviewing." Su Xingran ignored Su Wenli and slammed the door shut.
Su Xingran felt that Su Wenli had some problems. Where did she get the confidence to think that she would give her whatever she wanted?
The words Su Wenli was about to say got stuck in her throat. Su Xingran's actions made her eyes widen in anger.
Back home, Su Wenli grew angrier the more she thought about it. Hadn't Su Xingran told her not to disturb her studying? Fine, she wouldn't go; she'd let someone else go.
The next day, a crowd of educated youth gathered outside Su Xingran's house. They had all received word that Su Xingran's family had review materials. They were all taking the college entrance examination, hoping to get into university and leave the countryside to return to the city.
They knocked on the gate for a long time, but no one came to open it. The educated youth were a little disappointed, but their hope was quickly rekindled. No one was home today, so they would come again tomorrow, and every day.
This morning, Su Xingran thought about Su Wenli's actions yesterday. She felt that Su Wenli wasn't going to give up easily, so in order to have some peace and quiet, Su Xingran went directly to her master's house to study. This one decision saved her from being disturbed.
Su Wenli found the educated youth in the village and told them that Su Xingran was a senior high school student and must have study materials at home. They could ask Su Xingran for them if they wanted to review.
When Su Xingran returned home that evening, she overheard Xiaofeng from her neighbor Uncle Zhu saying that many former educated youth had come to her door that day. Su Xingran quickly realized that she had no contact with those educated youth, so their sudden visit must be about her college entrance exam materials.
The thought that Su Wenli might be behind it all made Su Xingran feel uneasy. She had no grudges against those educated youth, and now that they had a chance to leave the countryside and return to the city, she wouldn't let go of even the slightest hope.
Su Xingran found a notebook filled with her casual jottings. She handed the notebook to the village chief, asking her to handle the matter. However, she had one condition: the notebook must not be allowed to reach Su Wenli.
The village chief was more than willing. The more people from the village who take the college entrance exam and get into university, whether they are former educated youth or local villagers, the better it is for the village's development. The leadership will pay close attention, and any favorable support policies will be given priority consideration.
A week before the college entrance examination, Su Xingran returned home from school. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard a sound coming from the house. Her heart tightened, and she immediately ran inside.
