Chapter 1011 Chu Song abandons science and pursues literature
Xiang Baoshu pretended to be relieved: "Aunt Ye, I feel relieved with you here. Xianxian listens to you the most."
Ye Xiuzhi loved hearing this. She nodded solemnly, repeating her assurances, feeling a strange sense of pride that it was all up to her, and a confidence that as long as she watched over Chu Song diligently, he would be able to get into university.
"Baoshu, I have to thank you. You have to take the college entrance examination yourself, and you are willing to take our Xianxian with you. I really don't know how to thank you."
Xiang Baoshu shook her head. "Aunt Ye, you already take good care of me on a daily basis. What's this of mine?"
Ye Xiuzhi patted her shoulder and said, "Go ahead and teach her. I'll take care of the rest. If Chu Xianxian doesn't obey, just tell me and I'll teach her a lesson. Auntie will give her a beating!"
Xiang Baoshu just smiled and said nothing. In the past, she would probably have to worry about Ye Xiuzhi's extreme behavior. Learning requires a balance between work and rest, and she can't really hit anyone.
Now, she has seen through it. With how much Ye Xiuzhi dotes on people, she always makes a lot of noise but does little. She is reluctant to say any harsh words, let alone a beating.
Living under the same roof, the matter of study could not be kept secret, and Ye Xiuzhi also knew that it was not appropriate to make it public, so she only revealed the news to her family and asked them to keep it secret and not tell anyone.
"What? The college entrance examination will be resumed so soon?!" Chu Song was surprised and excited.
Huangxi County is a small place with nothing. She has long been tired of it. Getting into university means she can leave here and live in a big city with a legitimate reason.
How could Chu Song not be excited? She rubbed her hands in anticipation: "When is the exam? Why haven't I received any notice?"
Xiang Baoshu: "The specific notice hasn't been released yet, but I'm sure it will be soon. There will be news by the end of the year at the latest."
"Oh, the end of the year." Chu Song was very disappointed that it still took so long.
However, she remembered that the first batch of candidates did enroll in winter after the college entrance examination was resumed.
Xiang Baoshu smiled and said, "It's better if it takes longer. The more time we have, the more thorough our preparation will be, and the greater our chances of getting into university."
Chu Song: "Ready? Just have hands."
Ye Xiuzhi couldn't help but speak, "Stop it, you're bragging again."
"Who's bragging! I'm telling the truth!"
Ye Xiuzhi: "I've heard it all. It's the college entrance examination. There are so many people competing across the country. You can't just be clever and get by."
"Just wait!"
"Just wait. If you don't pass, don't come crying to me."
"Whoever cries is a dog!"
Xiang Baoshu looked at Ye Xiuzhi and Chu Song bickering with amusement, like a child.
She developed a strict study plan, which she and Lu Minglin implemented together to ensure that Chu Song could keep up with the pace.
Yes, Lu Minglin is also in the study group.
Xiang Baoshu knew that his intentions were not pure and that he had other purposes, but she had to use him when necessary. With him around, Xiang Baoshu could save herself a lot of trouble.
Don’t miss out on a free teacher.
Ye Xiuzhi also thought so. It would be good to have one more person to teach her daughter.
She has never been to school and can barely read, but she knows that if she studies hard and gets into university, she will have a bright future.
Thus, a three-person study group was officially established.
Seeing this, Chu Heng took his textbook and joined in with great interest. He was not so determined to pass the college entrance examination, but what if?
What if I’m lucky enough to get into medical university?
People go to high places and water flows to low places. Chu Heng was unwilling to be a barefoot doctor in the village all his life.
The three-person group becomes a four-person group.
Xiang Baoshu's study plan was to study for two hours every night. Since Chu Song was at home during the day, he had to study for an extra two hours, and she or Lu Minglin would check his homework in the evening.
For this reason, Chu Song protested in dissatisfaction, but was suppressed by Ye Xiuzhi with force.
The college entrance examination model in the 1970s was also divided into liberal arts and science. Politics, Chinese, and mathematics were required, and liberal arts students had an additional history and geography test, while science students had physics and chemistry tests.
If we really compare them, Chu Song is actually better at science. After all, he is smart and learns things quickly.
Seeing her "abandoning science for literature", Xiang Baoshu felt a little regretful, "Xianxian, are you really going to choose liberal arts? But you are so good at science...Okay, although liberal arts are not bad either."
Chu Song: "There's no other way. The literary world can't afford to lose me. If they lose me, they'll lose a shining pearl."
In her previous life, Chu Song was admitted to a top university based on her real ability, but she chose her major randomly. After graduation, she returned all the knowledge to her teachers and stayed at home as a full-time daughter, responsible for spending money every day.
In this life, Chu Song initially wrote stories for a living, hoping to earn some meager royalties. Unexpectedly, as he wrote, he also wrote about his emotions.
Then, Chu Song suddenly realized that this was where her talent lay!
Xiang Baoshu laughed, but didn't say anything more seeing that she insisted. Besides, her liberal arts were not bad either. It was just the difference between a full score and ninety-eight points.
Xiang Baoshu had seen Chu Song's serialized "Diary of the Extraordinary". The stories were simple, interesting and imaginative, and were especially popular among teenagers. Many children claimed that "Chu Bufan" was their idol.
————Learn from Chu Bufan!
————That’s what Chu Bufan did!
————You are not Chu Bufan at all like this!
It is obvious that "Extraordinary Diary" is very popular among children, and the sales of "Evening Fun" magazine have increased several times.
Among several subjects, Chu Song is relatively weak in politics. Due to the times, this subject is very different from the political course Chu Song remembers. It is not difficult, but it requires time to memorize and understand.
Lu Minglin took the textbook and carefully marked the passages he needed to memorize with a pen, "Xianxian, you got this one wrong again..."
"Brother Lu!" Chu Song blinked and interrupted.
Xiang Baoshu and Chu Heng were enthusiastically discussing a math problem, and their attention wasn't focused on this at all, so she took the opportunity to grab Lu Minglin's hand, scratching his palm with her fingertips, trying to get away with it, "I forgot, don't be mean to me."
"I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Yes, you're going to be violent towards me soon."
Lu Minglin was helpless, as he had to bear too heavy a burden.
"Nonsense, how could I bear to be so mean to you?"
"Because I didn't memorize the book, you got angry with me."
Look, the logic is perfectly closed.
Lu Minglin: “…”
Loving mothers often spoil their children, loving mothers often spoil their children, loving mothers often spoil their children. Lu Minglin muttered to himself, then with difficulty turned his head away from Chu Song's gaze. He steeled his heart, "It's been three days. I must memorize this passage today."
He continued to mutter to himself, Chu Song was not unintelligent, nor did she have a bad memory. On the contrary, she had no place to use her intelligence. She went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, went down the river to catch crabs, and did everything except memorize and study.
"No."
"Xianxian, be obedient."
"No."
Lu Minglin was helpless. Chu Song had figured out that he would fall for her tricks and was reluctant to say anything to her.
Chu Song: "How about this, you kiss me, and I'll carry you on my back right away."
Lu Minglin opened his eyes slightly wide, almost thinking that he had misheard. After he came to his senses, he looked guiltily in the direction of Xiang Baoshu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they didn't notice.
What a disgrace! They are studying seriously now, what's the point of being intimate...
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, Chu Song was about to stand up, and she leaned down. Lu Minglin subconsciously closed his eyes. After waiting for a while without seeing any movement, he opened his eyes. Chu Song jokingly took the textbook from his hand.
"Brother Lu, why are you closing your eyes?"
“…”
"When I say come by yourself, I mean get the book yourself."
“…”
"Brother Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Minglin, died.
Chu Song had actually memorized that paragraph a long time ago, and the mistakes she made were all intentional, for no other reason, purely to torture him.
Fun.
After work every day, Lu Minglin always stayed at the Chu family for a few hours. The kerosene lamp was often lit until late at night, and he would not return to the educated youth site until everyone else fell asleep.
Over time, this movement naturally aroused some subtle suspicions.
Liang Jiayao was far away in the city, but he had many "spies" in the countryside. He had also heard about the mysterious foursome, and after asking carefully he found out that they were studying.
Study? Liang Jiayao was a poor student in college, but that didn't stop him from eagerly applying to join. He also had other motives.
Ye Xiuzhi vetoed it, so what is he doing here? Isn’t he here to cause trouble?
Liang Jiayao returned home with regret.
Not long after, Chu Song inexplicably received a brown paper envelope. The three large, flamboyant characters on the top almost blinded her eyes—a suicide note.
The corner of her eye twitched, and when she pulled out the letter, she brought out a few dried wild chrysanthemums, which were obviously picked from the roadside. The handwriting on the letter was so powerful that it could be seen through the back of the paper, revealing a tragic and heroic spirit of desperate efforts.
You don’t need to guess who can write something like this.
Chu Song raised his eyebrows and continued reading.
There are several pages of content, and to sum up there are three main points.
———I am going to die of lovesickness, my heart is filled with depression.
———The heaven and earth can witness my feelings for you, as can the sun and the moon.
———I want to see you one last timeQAQ
Although it is outrageous, it is indeed something Liang Jiayao can do.
Liang Jiayao did not lie. He was indeed depressed during this period. On the one hand, Pei Qianshan pretended to be a lovesick man to harass Fang Qingrong and destroy her reputation, but not only did he fail, but he also made Fang Qingrong and Chu Song closer. He did a good thing with bad intentions.
On the other hand, Lu Minglin was so jealous of Chu Song that he gritted his teeth every day in this study group.
The more Liang Jiayao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more sad he felt. Finally, he became so angry that he fell ill.
