Fang Ru is a professor at Imperial University. The university has already made a suggestion to the Education Commission to reinstate the college entrance examination.
The country needs talent, and the college entrance examination is the best way to select talent.
Going to university is Gu Zhiyun's biggest dream. He nodded emphatically and said:
"Mom, don't worry, I haven't put down my books these past few years!"
He already had a study plan in mind. He not only wanted to study on his own, but also to help Jingya study together!
Fang Ru went back to her room and discussed with Gu Huaiqian about bailing Zhao Yanyan out the next day. Shen Jingyan saw Shen Honggang and An Zi off.
Gu Zhiyun led her to the kitchen, and Shen Jingyan noticed that his eyes were sparkling, as if he had something to hide.
"Jingya, do you want to go to university?"
Shen Jingyan blinked her clear, large eyes, and was momentarily speechless.
If it's the original owner, the answer is yes!
However, having already earned a doctorate in her previous life and spent ten years in university, she didn't really crave going back to university.
Gu Zhiyun thought he would get a positive answer immediately, but to his surprise, the girl hesitated.
"Jingya, do you know how many young people dream of going to university? Let's go to university together, so you can change your rural household registration to an urban one, which will make things much easier for us in the future!"
Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "I didn't even finish junior high school..."
"That's alright! You can take the junior high graduation exam first, and then review your high school courses. The junior high exam is very easy. You're so smart, I'll help you review, and you'll definitely pass!"
Gu Zhiyun was right. Shen Jingyan was always at the top of her class when she was in school, but Shen Yuqin dropped out after the second year of junior high. Chen Feng then used the excuse that the family had no money to force Shen Jingyan to drop out of school as well.
For this reason, the school teachers visited her home several times, earnestly persuading her to go back to school, because she was a good candidate for college. However, Shen Yuqin's academic performance was at the bottom of the school, and she was destined not to get into college. How could Chen Feng allow Shen Jingyan to have a higher education than her daughter?
She turned hostile to the teacher who came to visit her home, not only driving him away but also spouting outdated feudal rhetoric, saying that it was useless for girls to study and that it was enough for them to marry well.
The original owner of this body thus dropped out of school.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingyan felt sorry for the original owner.
Very well, now that she has taken over the original owner's body, she will also fulfill the original owner's unfulfilled wishes!
"Brother Yun, I'm willing to go to university. Whatever school you apply to, I'll apply to!"
Gu Zhiyun patted her head with satisfaction: "Jingya, for our future, starting tomorrow, I will help you review the content of your junior high school graduation exam."
Shen Jingyan chuckled to herself. For a highly educated person like her, who had a doctorate, taking a junior high school exam was as easy as a butcher chopping up chicken feet with a butcher's knife.
However, with such a handsome teacher as Gu Zhiyun tutoring her, she would be willing to listen even if he taught her that one plus one equals two.
"Okay, but Brother Yun, don't think I'm stupid!"
Gu Zhiyun affectionately pinched her rosy cheeks: "How could my little girl be stupid?"
He smiled calmly.
It is now the end of February 1977. The college entrance examination will be held in December, so there are only ten months to prepare.
As night fell, Gu Huaiqian followed Gu Zhiyun to the boys' dormitory, where Fang Ru and Shen Jingyan shared a kang (heated brick bed).
Shen Jingyan took out the newly bought quilt and gave it to Fang Ru to cover herself with. Fang Ru felt warm inside looking at the thoughtful and considerate girl.
Gu Huaiqian and Fang Ru had taken leave to come to the forest farm. After having breakfast the next day, they prepared to return to the capital.
Before leaving, they planned to go to the police station to bail Zhao Yanyan out and bring her back to the capital together.
Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan escorted the two to the village entrance. Fang Ru held onto Shen Jingyan, saying affectionate words with reluctance. Gu Huaiqian pulled Gu Zhiyun aside, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into his hand.
“Zhiyun, your mother and I haven’t saved much money over the years since we were sent to the countryside. We didn’t have time to buy Jingya a gift this time. Here’s a hundred yuan for you. Buy Jingya shoes, clothes and jewelry. In short, you can’t be stingy with a young girl.”
Looking at the thick stack of bills and the calluses on Gu Huaiqian's hands, Gu Zhiyun felt a lump in his throat.
He stuffed the money into Gu Huaiqian's hand: "Dad, you've just returned to the city, and you must be having a hard time. I'm all grown up and haven't been able to help you, so I can't accept your money!"
"Who said this money was for you? This is for Jingya from your mother and me!"
Gu Huaiqian stuffed the money directly into his pocket and said solemnly, "Your mother and I both like Jingya. Treat her well. In the future, you'll have to rely on your abilities to bring Jingya to the city for us!"
Gu Zhiyun reluctantly accepted the money.
Before getting on the bus, Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian reminded Gu Zhiyun to study hard.
After seeing the couple off, Gu Zhiyun raised his arm to check his watch and said, "Jingya, there's still an hour before work. Let me review your junior high math with you first."
Chen Jingyan nodded happily, "Okay!"
Now that the two are an open couple, Gu Zhiyun can enter and leave Shen Jingyan's dormitory without having to hide from people's gazes.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, the two took off their coats. Shen Jingyan placed a small table on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then took out manuscript paper, a fountain pen, a pencil, an eraser, and a ruler from the drawer of the dressing table.
Gu Zhiyun asked, somewhat puzzled, "When did you buy the manuscript paper and fountain pen?"
These school supplies are not something that often appear in the home of a little girl who doesn't read.
These stationery items were actually redeemed by Shen Jingyan using points last night.
“Anzi is about to start school, right? I bought this for him, but I haven’t had a chance to give it to him yet. Let’s use it for now.”
Chen Jingyan hurriedly lied.
After hearing this, Gu Zhiyun no longer had any doubts.
"I'll teach you quadratic equations first. This is a required topic in the junior high school graduation exam, and it accounts for ten points."
Gu Zhiyun took the manuscript paper and pen and began to explain earnestly.
Shen Jingyan rested her chin on her hands, watching Gu Zhiyun scribbling on the manuscript paper.
The bright morning sunlight shone on Gu Zhiyun's handsome face with its sharp features, giving his fair skin a soft glow. Tiny golden rays danced on his high nose bridge, and Shen Jingyan couldn't help but stare in amazement.
My goodness, how can there be such a handsome man in the world, and he even became her boyfriend?
Shen Jingyan was puzzled as to why she hadn't woken up laughing in the middle of the night.
When this man gets serious, he becomes even more charming. Shen Jingyan had no idea what Gu Zhiyun was saying, her eyes lingering on his deep, captivating eyes and smooth lips.
Without realizing it, she laughed out loud.
[Author's Note]: Jingya: I know everything, but I have to pretend I don't just to get a relationship. It's so tiring~
