Xiao Tongke and the others looked at each other, then made up their minds to give them a good talking-to tomorrow.
As soon as Hua Xiangyun learned the news, she immediately contacted them. They couldn't be too cold-hearted, so it would be best if they went out together together in the future to better guard against each other.
They would normally take a stroll around the village after dinner to avoid feeling too isolated, but now they're thinking it's better to skip it.
Having some free time, but unable to fall asleep, Wu Yanxin and Xiao Shaoyao brought out their old textbooks and had everyone pass the time together.
"I'm telling you two, that's enough. You finally graduated from school, and now you're bringing out all these books again," Li Mingli said irritably. She thought, "You two must be crazy to finally not have to deal with books anymore?"
Wu Yanxin said, "Reading a book is better than just staring at each other, right?"
Didn't your family tell you not to neglect your studies? What if the factory hires you and there's an exam? You need to be at least somewhat literate, right?
"Forget it, that was so many years ago," Li Mingli said, pouting. "I heard that the factory is overstaffed now, and some temporary workers are being laid off slowly. What hope do we have? Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to the countryside."
Wu Yanxin waved mysteriously at them, "What if the college entrance examination is reinstated in the future?"
“Tch,” Ang Lee thought there was some big secret, but it turned out to be an old topic being brought up again. “Rumors have been circulating since the year before last, and look what happened. Several years have passed, and we still have to go to the countryside.”
"I finally don't have to use my brain, and you're just making things harder for yourself."
Wu Yanxin hesitated for a moment, but remembering what Hua Xiangyun had said, she repeated, "This opportunity is for those who are prepared. So what if it's just a rumor? What if we're lucky enough to actually stumble upon it?"
"Since we're just killing time anyway, reading books and doing practice problems will improve us. If an opportunity comes along, won't we have a better chance than others?"
Everyone fell silent. What he said made a damn good point. Besides, they were all recent graduates and had all their books.
If all else fails, we can ask our family to bring it with them next time they come over. That way, we can pass the time and reinforce our understanding.
If what Wu Yanxin said is true, then they've really hit the jackpot.
“Okay, let’s study. We’re just killing time anyway.” Xiao Tongke and the others immediately understood. The village wasn’t safe, and they had nothing to do in this house, so they decided to read books.
Hua Xiangyun was planning to find an opportunity to remind them later, but she didn't expect Wu Yanxin to be so helpful, leading a group of friends towards a bright future.
The next day, seeing how hard everyone at the educated youth center was working, she joined in.

Jiang Yi was surprised that Xie Dacheng would still dare to come knocking on his door after being taught a lesson several times.
Yang Lan has started working, and she asked a distant relative to help take care of her child.
I thought the Xie family had learned their lesson and wouldn't dare to come again, but I never expected them to be holding back a big move.
That day, Yang Lan and her colleagues had only been at work for a short while when the Xie family burst through the door.
Aunt Yang was caught off guard and they took the child away.
Terrified and at a loss, she could only rush to the factory to find Yang Lan. Yang Lan was so frightened that her legs went weak. It was her colleagues who noticed something was wrong and quickly split up to help her find someone.
As her cousin, Jiang Yi was naturally included in the notification.
After hastily finishing his business, he didn't go to the Yang family, but instead went directly to the Xie family.
When Jiang Yi arrived at the Xie family's house, which was locked and had a lock on the door, he sneered and went directly to Xie Dacheng's factory, only to find out that he had taken leave.
Jiang Yi did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the factory leaders and told them all about the evil deeds of the Xie family.
Although it was her own son who was taken away, Yang Lan made such a big fuss back then, and several factory leaders were witnesses.
Everyone knows that this child will have absolutely no connection with Xie Dacheng in the future, so what they are doing is a crime.
The presence of such a person in the factory angered several leaders, who all said they would pass on the message and have someone help find him.
Moreover, it seems that Xie Dacheng came prepared this time, and it was a long holiday.
However, someone reminded Jiang Yi, "Xie Dacheng's cousin should know where they are going."
Jiang Yi then remembered this person. Although the two families had no contact, who knew if he might have been involved in something?
Jiang Yi thanked the other party and went directly to the Song Committee, where he found Xie Xin this time.
The two had met at work, but this was a private meeting. Jiang Yi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "If Xie Dacheng doesn't return the child soon, he'll have to bear the consequences himself."
This constitutes a crime, and the Xie family seems unwilling to bear the consequences.
"It's been more than half a year since I last saw them. I really don't know where they've gone..." Xie Xin's expression changed, and he had a guess in his mind.
“I might know where they’re going, but I didn’t know beforehand. I can take you there.”
That's incredibly stupid. The county town is so small. They thought that taking the child away and hiding the whole family would solve everything.
It seems they've been living too comfortably all these years, or they think they can act with impunity just because I'm backing them up?
With a dark expression, Xie Xin led the person to his old family home. Seeing that the gate was tightly closed, Xie Xin knew the person was inside.
He went up and knocked on the door. "Dad, are you home? Open the door for me."
Xie Yingjie, leaning on his cane, asked, "Why is this kid back today?"
Xie Renjie asked nervously, "Brother, what should we do? Does Xie Xin know?"
“That’s impossible. He can’t predict the future. How could he catch up with you right after each other?” Xie Yingjie saw his sister-in-law holding the child and hiding in the back room, so he simply shooed the whole family to the back and hid them. “You all go to the back and don’t make a sound. Ah Xin is probably here to deliver something.”
Since the last argument between father and son, Xie Xin has rarely come over, but he still brings some things over every month. Although he's bringing them over earlier now, it's not like this hasn't happened before.
Xie Renjie and the others also felt that they shouldn't go against their nephew. They didn't know what had gotten into him, but he hadn't offered any help to their family in the past six months, no matter how much they asked for it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered losses at the hands of the Yang family time and time again, which is why they had to resort to this desperate measure.
He's clearly the Xie family's eldest grandson, so why should the Yang family support him?
Now that the child is in their hands, if Yang Lan is more self-aware, they might be able to accept her as their daughter-in-law.
People need to be pushed a little, otherwise how can they make a choice?
Xie Xin was unaware of their plan, and his arrival was likely a coincidence. They should avoid causing trouble now and let their elder brother deal with the matter.
Holding the child, he hid in the backyard and instructed the old woman, "You must keep a close eye on the child and not let him make a sound. Xie Xin is heartless these days."
