Chapter 71 Chapter 71

Jia Mingzhang got straight to the point:

"To be honest, Guoye, studying is very difficult."

Jia Guoye's hand holding the cigarette and bringing it to his mouth froze.

He looked at Jia Mingzhang, waiting for what he would say next.

Jia Mingzhang asked Jia Guoye, "Do you want to go to your house and let Xiao Huabao listen and repeat it. How to read it and what exactly is the situation?"

Jia Guoye shook his head. Since the situation was not optimistic, it would be better to let him know first.

He said, "Tell me first, and I will tell her when I go back."

With his sister's introduction, Jia Mingzhang also knew something about studying and school.

Jia Mingzhang started to say, "Junior high schools are divided into public and private schools. The good public junior high schools in the county do not accept repeat students because of limited teaching staff."

"My sister told me that there is not much difference between private and public junior high schools. They teach the same things, but private junior high schools charge more. Good private schools also have repeat classes. For example, Xiaojun went to a private school to repeat. The teachers are very responsible and strict."

Jia Guoye definitely didn't care about the fees. He thought it was nothing. However, Uncle Mingzhang said there were difficulties. There must be other problems. He listened carefully.

Sure enough, the difficulties Jia Mingzhang mentioned next really made Jia Guoye feel bad.

Jia Mingzhang looked a little distressed and took a long puff of his cigarette.

He said, "But you can't just sign up and pay to get into a good private school's refresher class. You need to take an exam, and only after you pass the exam and get a passing score can you go in and study."

"What do you think of Xiao Huabao's academic foundation?" he asked Jia Guoye.

Jia Guoye felt a little heavy-hearted. He shook his head: "

I'm not sure." Jia Mingzhang said: "I guess it's not as good as Xiaojun."

He said: "I'm not bragging, the reality is there."

"Xiaojun, after all, he decided to continue reviewing after the high school entrance examination that year, and his knowledge was not lost for a while. Xiao Huabao went home after all, and he hasn't touched a book for a one or two years. I don't know how to read, but I know that if I don't plow the fields for a while, my hands will become unfamiliar. It's the same principle. Practice makes perfect."

"So, are you still determined to send Xiao Huabao to study?" Jia Mingzhang asked.

He said to Jia Guoye in a negotiating tone: "Why don't you just forget it? You've tried your best. The situation is indeed not optimistic. You can't send Xiao Huabao to repeat the first grade of junior high school now and sit in the same classroom with twelve or thirteen-year-old children as classmates. It will look very inappropriate. Your wife will probably be embarrassed too."

Jia Guoye looked at the rice fields and said, "We still have to give it a try."

Jia Mingzhang...

"Okay, as long as you make the decision."

Anyway, it wasn't him who threw money into the water.

...

Seeing Jia Guoye was silent and in a low mood, Jia Mingzhang patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Cheer up, it's not all bad news. Xiaojun said the test questions are relatively basic and not difficult, but I can't guarantee it. What if Xiaojun said it's not difficult, but your wife thinks it's difficult, that's also possible." "

Well, I know."

Hearing Uncle Mingzhang say this, Jia Guoye forced a smile and felt that the big stone in his heart finally fell a little.

...

Jia Mingzhang looked at Jia Guoye's stubborn look of sending his wife to study even if there was little hope, and remembered the conversation with his sister, who told him some situations...

Arrived at his sister's house.

Jia Mingzhang said the purpose of his visit:

a young man in their village wanted to send his wife to study again for the high school entrance examination, and asked Xiaojun about his experience at that time.

"What?!"

Jia Xihua asked her brother: "Brother, is the man I asked you to find out about really for his wife? The husband wants to send his wife away to study? Why don't I believe it?"

"Really, sister." Jia Mingzhang looked at Jia Xihua's puzzled expression and said with a smile, "Why would I lie to you?"

Jia Xihua shook her head: "Of course you didn't lie to me, brother, I just think you might have been deceived by that young man. Generally, men who have wives only want to keep them, and I have never seen anyone who wants to send his wife away."

"It's true." Jia Mingzhang said, "Why would he cheat me like this? I don't have the money to cheat him."

Jia Xihua asked, "Brother, he didn't ask you to borrow money in the name of paying his wife's tuition, did he?"

She became alert. Her brother was kind-hearted. Don't let him be cheated out of sympathy.

"No."

"The young man is a savage. He is the second son of Jia Pailin. You got married when he was still young. You may not have any impression of him, but he is really a good kid. He married Jia Yourui, the daughter of Jia Kaiqian's family in the next village..." He didn't finish his words.

Jia Xihua's eyes lit up: "Oh, Jia Yourui, I remember this. This girl is so beautiful. I saw her a few years ago. She was absolutely stunning. I have never seen such a pretty girl."

She asked excitedly:

"Why did you marry into our village? Didn't you say you wanted to marry her? Or is it that Guoye is so handsome and capable? How could her parents marry such a beautiful girl to him?"

Jia Mingzhang didn't know how to answer a series of questions.

He said while practicing Tai Chi: "It's a long story, a long story, haha, I will tell you when I have time. Sister, first tell me about the review, how to choose a school, how to charge fees, and what Guoye is going to do?"

"Okay."

... Jia Xihua told the story.

Finally, Jia Xihua said, "Brother, don't blame me for not believing it at first."

"I have accompanied Xiaojun to study for so many years, and I have seen a lot of things in school. It is not easy for girls to study."

"Some girls sometimes stop going to school while studying, saying that they have an engagement and set a date to go back to get married and have children."

"Not to mention married girls. Things at home affect their studies in school. The teachers have also taught them hard, but the girls have no choice but to drop out of school and go home because of the urging of their husbands and parents at home. The school and teachers are also very sad."

"You just said that the young man wanted to send his wife to repeat the school for the entrance examination. This is the first time I have seen such a situation. I feel like you are talking in your sleep."

Jia Mingzhang also sighed: "I know."

...

Jia Yourui started to feel uneasy when she found out that the little silver needle was missing, and she spent the whole afternoon in agony.

She suddenly felt that nothing was wrong with her body, and the silver needle must have fallen off; suddenly she felt pain all over her body, and imagined that a needle was moving inside her body. Jia Yourui felt horrified and was about to be tortured into a neurotic state.

She couldn't help but blame herself, she was so stupid, if she had put the silver needle into the storage bag properly, wouldn't there be nothing wrong.

Jia Yourui sat in the chair blankly for a long time before she got up, first restored the things in the drawer of the dressing table, and then re-made and smoothed the mattress that had been messed up by her.

...

Tired Xiao Rui sat on the bed a little depressed, sighed softly, "Hey", she picked up the Dacron fabric on the stool in front of her.

...

Jia Yourui turned the fabric over and over in her hands a little listlessly.

"Huh?"

Jia Yourui widened her lifeless eyes, curiously moved the fabric closer, and found that there seemed to be some black marks on it.

She carefully identified it, poked it with her fingers, and found that it was indeed dust.

Jia Yourui was a little confused, because she had just put the fabric on a clean chair, and the drawer was also clean, where did the dust come from?

Maybe it was rubbed somewhere when she didn't notice it, Jia Yourui thought.

Now she didn't have the heart to continue making shirts. Jia Yourui folded the fabric neatly, held it in her hands, and looked at the closet. "

Put it there for now. "

However, as soon as she opened the closet, Jia Yourui was so frightened that her expression became sluggish, her pupils shrank sharply, her mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't close it, and the expensive fabric fell straight to the ground.

...

After a long time, Jia Yourui burst into a terrified scream:

"Ah!"

At this time, Jia Guoye, who had just finished work, just returned home. The man standing outside the door unlocking the door heard the sound, and his heart tightened. He slammed the door open and ran to Jia Yourui's room in a hurry.

Jia Guoye happened to meet Jia Yourui who was running out of the house because of fright, and the two bumped into each other in the yard. When

the panicked Jia Yourui saw him, she felt like she saw her savior and hugged Jia Guoye tightly without letting go.

"What's wrong?"

Jia Guoye asked concernedly.

He was worried about Xiaorui's abnormal appearance. Jia Guoye held the panicked Xiaorui in his arms. Her breathing was disordered, and she curled up in his arms and shivered like a poor little animal. He patted her back with heartache, gently soothing Xiaorui's fluctuating emotions,

and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jia Guoye repeated it over and over again.

Jia Yourui's eyes were blurred with tears, but she didn't cry. Her face was pale and she was trembling and couldn't speak.

Jia Guoye really wanted to know what had disturbed Xiaorui in the short time he was away, less than an afternoon.

...

After being held and comforted by him for a long time, Jia Yourui was finally able to speak.

Jia Yourui blurted out a sobbing cry, and she said fearfully: "Someone sneaked into my room, sob sob sob."

...

Just now, she opened the cabinet, and then there was a "boom" in her head, and she felt that she was isolated from the outside world.

The closet was in a mess. Her clothes were in a mess. The clothes, quilts, and sheets that were originally neatly arranged were all scattered in balls and strips...

The drawer in the closet that contained money was locked. The thief who sneaked in might not have enough time and didn't find the key to open the lock, so the drawer was still intact.

Run!

This was her first thought.

Jia Yourui was worried that the thief was still at home.

Then she ran and bumped into Jia Guoye.

...

Jia Yourui was scared. She imagined the thief who sneaked in. He came in through the window. I don't know what he wanted, but it should be money.

If the scary thief knew that the closet drawer key was in her pocket and that she always carried it with her, he would definitely hold her down and search her, and force her to hand over the key in a harsh voice.

Xiao Rui, who was frightened by her own imagination, cried in Jia Guoye's arms while taking out the drawer key from her pocket and stuffed it into Jia Guoye's pants pocket impatiently, saying aggrievedly: "I don't want this thing anymore, you take it."
