Chapter 115 I Wish You and Me

Some people rely on their family's little power to change other people's lives at will.

When Hang Jingshu thought about what his family had gone through in their previous life, his eyes turned red with hatred.

The two consecutive failures in the exam might have something to do with Qin Ziyu.

She hated it, and this hatred would not go away in her heart.

Just a flick of a finger by others can ruin the fate of their family.

She was also in the top ten in her class at the county’s No. 2 Middle School. Although her mentality was not stable during the exam, she was not likely to fail!

Those who tamper with other people's wishes should be punished!

The feeling of falling from the clouds was so painful that Hang Jingshu still remembered the embarrassment of failing the exam.

But the aloof and willful Hang Heini has suffered enough in her previous life.

One more time, it's finally my turn.

If others look down on you, then you have to be the most competitive one!

After returning to the compound, Hang Jingshu worked even harder.

She compressed her sleep time to six and a half hours a day and was busy like a top every day.

She enjoyed the hardship of studying. Even if she was unlucky, she couldn't be unlucky after being reborn. What's the point of being reborn?

Wouldn't it be better to just bury it directly?

It is said that going to college is an opportunity to rebuild your social circle, and that you can change even more by living your life over again.

In mid-June, Hang Renshan returned to his hometown to harvest wheat again, and this time he had something important to do.

The village chief Sun Liangben smoked a cigarette with his eyes narrowed and enjoyed it. He knocked the ash on the table and looked at Hang Renshan who still had an honest look on his face.

"You mean, we won't plant any more wheat fields after we harvest them?"

Hang Renshan skillfully stuffed a whole pack of lotus cigarettes over to him and said, "It's too heavy for two children to carry. We can't run back and forth. If there are people in the village who are willing to grow the crops, we will give them the job."

This is a rare thing nowadays.

It would be fine if farmers did not farm, but paying the annual public grain tax is too painful.

Thinking of the news that the Hang family had made a fortune, the village chief Sun Liangben lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Shanzi, tell me the truth, did you really make a fortune?"

This time, Hang Renshan was still wearing a half-new sweatshirt. Although it looked much cleaner than when he was in the village before, he didn't look like someone who made a lot of money.

What does this big boss look like?

Sun Liangben thought that she should wear a gold ring, a floral shirt, bell-bottom pants, and a pair of sunglasses to look fashionable.

And Wang Silan didn’t show up either. What on earth are this couple trying to do? Why are they not even farming the land in the village?

Sun Liang originally felt that the lotus cigarette in his hand was no longer fragrant. Wasn't this just a pretense?

The village chief, Sun Liangben, is usually an upright person, and he is the one who makes the decisions on all matters big or small in the village.

At that time, there was an old bachelor in the village who behaved like a hooligan towards the educated youth, and it was Sun Liangben who decided to send the man to the police station.

Their Antai Village cannot produce such scum!

Whether the village atmosphere is upright or not depends on the leader. Even if there are a few bad apples occasionally, it is within the controllable range.

Hang Renshan certainly would not tell the truth. Instead, he pulled the village chief aside to complain: "Both of our children need to go to school. We cannot support them with just the money we earn from farming and doing odd jobs. The future of our children is important. We have to endure a little hardship."

The news that the little girl of the Hang family went to No. 1 Middle School in the city to repeat her studies had spread throughout the village. Sun Liangben, of course, also knew that what Hang Renshan said was the truth.

"I'm just hoping my daughter can get into college soon, and then we'll be halfway through."

Sun Liangben's mouth twitched when he heard this. It sounded as if college students were growing on trees and could be plucked with just a stretch of the hand.

Then he thought again, isn't it? People have already picked one, so why worry about the second one?

Having more land at home is not a good thing now. Public grain and levies are paid based on the acre. The more land you have, the more tiring it is. Not only do you have to negotiate and hire people to farm the land, but you also have to pay the levies!

Hang Renshan's family had a lot of land, but with Sun Liangben taking the lead, the farming task was quickly accomplished.

This time when Hang Renshan came back, he gave out cigarettes and candies as usual. This time the village is very particular about moderation. If you are too generous, people will be concerned about how much money you have left.

If you are too picky, then some cool words will come out.

Cigarettes and candies are not rare items, but I usually can't bear to buy them. It is said that one should be grateful to the person who eats from him. It is much easier to eat and take them.

It is not popular for farmers to work in the city. There is no one like the Hang family who works outside instead of farming.

Many people were also tempted and asked openly or secretly how much money they could make by going to the city.

Hang Renshan is not good at other things, but he is an expert at playing dumb. He looks easy to talk to with a smile on his face, but actually you can't get anything out of him.

Can you make money by going into the city?

Make money, it depends on what you want to do.

Then what can I do?

That depends on your ability.

What skills do farmers have? Apart from farming and selling labor, they can't farm when they go to work in the city.

It would be better to farm at home. At least the land is yours and you have a house to live in.

Sun Liangben's son asked a lot of questions, and his mouth was numb from smoking, but he still couldn't get a clear answer.

Bah, I can’t see anything else, but you’re really good at playing dumb.

The man left his hometown and became a recluse. Even after the Hang family’s wheat was harvested, the eldest grandson did not dare to go to the city to work.

Currently, the yield of wheat per mu is over 200 kilograms. The Hang family has 7.5 mu of land and can harvest more than 2,000 kilograms of grain. In addition to the part that needs to be paid as public grain, they can also sell part of it.

The rest is kept for home consumption.

Nowadays, people go to the village or county to get wheat to grind into flour. It is a little coarser than the later refined flour, but it is very delicious when used to make pasta.

Rice is grown in some areas of northern Hebei and eastern Shandong, so eating rice and noodles is very common here.

By the time Hang Renshan brought home the newly harvested wheat, it was already the end of June.

There is no mechanization in wheat harvesting nowadays. All the wheat is chopped down with sickles and taken home. Then it is crushed with a millstone and finally spread out on the ground to dry.

It was a spectacular sight to go to the county every year to pay public grain. People had to use ox carts or tractors, anything with wheels, to pull the grain and queue up.

There was a lot of food left at home, so Hang Renshan borrowed a tractor and hauled the remaining 500 kilograms of food back home before the public grain tax was due.

People don’t feel hot during the exam. The college entrance examination officially begins on July 7.

The No. 1 Middle School in the city is a provincial key school, which saves a lot of trouble for the students in Fengcheng. In the past few days, even the primary schools have been closed for holidays and the classrooms are empty, just to serve as examination venues for candidates from other places.

Under the scorching sun of midsummer, Hang Jingshu was writing like a god in the examination room.

Perhaps anger can also stimulate potential. Hang Jingshu felt that he could write all the papers he got with ease, and he was full of energy until the last day of the college entrance examination.

The moment they stepped out of the examination room, there were cheers all around. Zhou Xiaoli jumped to Hang Jingshu's side and hugged her excitedly: "Xiao Hang, wuwuwu, the exam is finally over!"

The students from Class 1 of No. 1 Middle School in the city gradually gathered here. Li Guoping excitedly suggested, "Can we go to a big hotel for dinner in a couple of days?"

Naturally, everyone responded to the last meal.

During graduation season, all kinds of greeting cards in Wang Silan's store sold out very quickly. Before leaving the examination room, Wang Chongyun handed the greeting card to Hang Jingshu.

The young man was handsome and tall, with a warm look in his eyes: "See you in a few days, Xiaohang."

"goodbye!"

Wang Chongyun chose a greeting card with a picture of Guilin landscape, which had only eight words written on it.

The mountains and rivers are vast, I wish you and me.
