Perhaps because of Gu Changlan's incident, Qiu Lanying and Gu Zhiguo turned a blind eye to Gu Xiaoli's affairs.
Occasionally when Gu Xiaoli came back, Bai Ruozhen would ask a question or two, but in the end he only knew that Gu Xiaoli and Li Xiuming were still communicating, and Li Xiuming was also learning about this matter.
Bai Ruozhen sometimes couldn't understand why everyone believed Gu Changqing's words and would really pass the college entrance examination. When she asked Gu Xiaoli about it, she smiled and repeated Gu Changqing's words. Since then, Bai Ruozhen stopped asking.
Anyway, just trust her man.
Of course, not everyone believed it. For example, Gu Changqing's former teachers and classmates, knowing that he was still studying, thought he just wanted to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. However, when Gu Changqing put forward his reasons, those people thought he was crazy.
Gu Changqing didn't try to persuade them much. He had said everything he needed to say. As long as his wife and sister listened to him and studied hard, that was all that mattered.
Bai Ruozhen studied in an orderly manner according to the study plan assigned by Gu Changqing, and before July he had finally finished studying Chinese, mathematics, history, geography and politics.
Although she learned history and geography very quickly, mathematics was still a little difficult for her. She also found Chinese quite simple except for composition. After all, based on her experience as an ancient person in her previous life, classical Chinese was probably the simplest.
Gu Changqing specially subscribed to a newspaper because of her composition, and asked Bai Ruozhen to recite a good article from the newspaper every day.
Bai Ruozhen didn't understand, but she still recited it obediently. The reason was that it seemed quite easy for her to recite it. She would never have recited it before even if she was beaten to death.
A few days later, news came from Xiahe Village that Song Mei had given birth to another daughter. Bai Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I guess my sister-in-law will cry again."
Second Aunt Gu didn't care whether Song Mei gave birth to a daughter or a son. She said with a bit of gloating, "Tsk tsk, she disliked Peanut back then. Maybe if she really had Peanut, she could have given birth to a son."
Bai Ruozhen couldn't hold back his laughter.
At the end of September, when the family was about to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xiuming, who was far away in Beijing, wrote a letter to Gu Changqing. After reading the letter, Gu Changqing was stunned.
Bai Ruozhen looked at his expression and asked in shock, "What's wrong?" Could it be that problems arose again after the Li family was rehabilitated?
"Wife, it's done." It was hard to describe the expression on Gu Changqing's face, excitement and excitement, his eyes were bright and seemed to be glowing.
Bai Ruozhen took the letter and read it from beginning to end. "Is the college entrance examination really coming up?"
Gu Changqing didn't say anything. He hugged Bai Ruozhen tightly, his voice choked with sobs, "Wife, we are going to take the college entrance examination together."
The couple hugged each other and cried, which frightened Aunt Gu and the two children who had just entered the house and knew nothing.
When Doubao and Jiaozi saw their parents crying, they also burst into tears.
Second Aunt Gu's face turned pale. She raised Gu Changqing. It was always Gu Laowu who made others cry, but she never cried herself.
"Old Five, don't scare me, what's wrong?" Aunt Gu held Jiaozi and coaxed Doubao, and then she looked at the couple hugging and crying and was scared.
Bai Ruozhen's face flushed as he let go of Gu Changqing, then smiled and said, "My cousin's letter about the college entrance examination is probably accurate."
"Really?" Aunt Gu, who has been a primary school teacher all her life, naturally knows the benefits of the college entrance examination. She became a teacher in the commune primary school when she graduated from junior high school. Over the years, she has been looking forward to the resumption of the college entrance examination all the time. Although she is not able to do it at her age, she is happy from the bottom of her heart to see that her beloved nephew and niece-in-law really have the opportunity to go to college.
Gu Changqing nodded and excitedly handed the letter over. "Grandpa Li's family has a few friends in the education department. They said that the leaders have already held a meeting and the announcement will be made soon."
"My cousin wrote to us and said that the college entrance examination will be held before the New Year, so we should hurry up and review." Bai Ruozhen smiled and picked up Doubao to coax him. Doubao didn't understand why his parents were crying and laughing at the same time.
Aunt Gu nodded repeatedly, her eyes red. "Good, this is good. You should study hard."
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoli came back. From the expression on her face, it was clear that she had also received Li Xiuming's letter.
Gu Xiaoli pulled Bai Ruozhen and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, let's apply to a university."
Bai Ruozhen chuckled twice, "I studied liberal arts."
"We can both study arts and go to the same school. Let's apply to Beijing University." Gu Xiaoli thought happily, "It would be best if we could choose the same major. Maybe we can even be assigned to the same dormitory."
Gu Changqing's face turned dark. It was so hard that Gu Xiaoli hadn't been around his wife for the past two years. What would happen if he had to take the exam for another school?
This matter must be nipped in the bud.
No matter how Gu Changqing wanted to separate his wife and sister, Gu Xiaoli was already happily planning to do it.
However, Bai Ruozhen felt that perhaps Gu Xiaoli and Li Xiuming's marriage would be finalized once they arrived in Beijing, and by then, Gu Xiaoli probably wouldn't have as much time to spend with her. Furthermore, given her husband's protective nature, he definitely wouldn't allow them to enroll in the same major.
That afternoon, the family returned to Xiahe Village on a cart, carrying large and small bags. Bai Ruozhen had originally intended to share the good news with Feng Qiujuan and the others, but unexpectedly, some of the educated youth in the village had also heard the news through their own channels.
For a time, news about the college entrance examination was everywhere.
