Chapter 114 Second College Entrance Examination

"A good harvest!"

"A great harvest!"

"We can eat dumplings now!"

…

In the square, the children cheered in unison.

Even the adults couldn't hide their happy smiles and cheered with the children.

They also want to eat dumplings on whole wheat bread.

I also want to eat hot white flour steamed buns!

All of this has been realized little by little over time!

Everyone couldn't help singing and dancing!

They even sang the national anthem!

When Jing Xian saw this scene, she didn't regret her decision at all.

Last year, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu resumed their college entrance examinations before they even finished their postpartum confinement.

The biggest feeling they had in the military region was that all the children were busy preparing for the college entrance examination, just wanting to go to college smoothly instead of going to the countryside. I heard that all the educated youth in the countryside stopped working and studied day and night.

But almost most people have no review materials.

The military district is fine.

Because she had asked Song Ning to prepare a set of textbooks for Da Mao in advance, many people came to their house to borrow textbooks. Jing Xian not only gave them the textbooks, but also distributed the review materials.

She still remembers that Damao's eyes were full of light that day. Damao said, "Mom, I will also take the college entrance examination next year. I want to go to the capital!"

Jingxian knew what Damao hadn't said.

He must have said this silently in his heart, that way he would be reunited with his grandfather.

Jingxian was happy for Da Mao and Xiao Mao from the bottom of her heart.

Not long ago, she had just returned from Xi City. The authorities had officially issued a notice that educated youth would no longer go to the countryside. Those old professors returned to their familiar campuses. Many people were rehabilitated one after another.

The huge rock that was weighing on the Xie family was removed, and Damao was laughing the whole day.

He also secretly told Shang Nanchen that he had called his grandfather.

Tiedan ran in from outside and shouted, "Mom, grandma called!"

"Coming soon!"

Jing Xian wiped her hands, put some money in her pocket and ran outside.

"Hey, Dad!"

Jingfeng pursed his throat and said cautiously, "Xiaoxian, you said you were in a pharmacy class, but you didn't take the college entrance exam last year. Are you really not going to take the exam this year?"

"Dad, I can't leave now." Jing Xian actually longs to go to college.

No one doesn't want to go to college.

She wants to go too.

But what will happen to the children at home when she is gone?

Jingfeng knew something was going to happen as soon as he heard it.

He explained the reason to Jing Xian: "When you pass the exam and come to the capital, bring the children here when you go to school. You have a house here and can register as a resident. Then let the younger ones study here. Dad is old and can help you take care of the children. Besides, studying in college is still very easy. You can come home and live here every day. But you and Xiao Shang will be separated for a few years."

Jing Xian admitted that she was a little tempted.

"If you want to continue studying pharmacy, we can consider A University. If you want to learn genetic breeding, you can apply for A Agricultural University. It is very convenient to go to school and go home. You can take the bus or ride a bike." Jingfeng thought of his daughter's driving skills and added, "You can drive a car if you want. Dad has saved a lot of money and will buy you a car when the time comes."

"Huh? Can I buy a car now?" Jing Xian's attention is always on points that Jing Feng could not expect.

Jingfeng felt complicated: "Yes!"

"I can't use the car I bought now." Jing Xian said with some regret, "Even if I get into college, can I really drive to school? Riding a bicycle is enough to make people envious."

"Xiao Xian, we have been separated for twenty years. I was not able to take good care of your grandmother before she passed away. I have paid so much, but for what? Isn't it just so that you can live a good life?"

Jing Xian had never been with her father before. When she heard him say this, she suddenly felt that it was too much for her to reject his request and pretend not to hear his expectations.

She pursed her lips.

Said, "Dad, let me think about it again."

"If you decide to take the college entrance examination, just come here. Dad has registered for you here, you can come here to take the exam directly." Jingfeng said with a smile, and did not forget to tell Jingxian, "Our yard is quite big, and there are many rooms. Several children can have a room each. I have prepared everything. Dad has also prepared a study for you, and there are many books you like in it. You can come and take a look in advance."

Jing Xian: “…”

Tiedan stood aside and followed Jingxian back without saying a word.

When they were alone, Tiedan asked in a muffled voice, "Mom, are you planning to leave?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jing Xian said.

"oh."

As they were about to reach the door of their home, Tiedan couldn't help but stop and ask Jingxian: "Mom, if you decide to leave, will you divorce my dad?"

Jing Xian looked down at the little fellow who had grown to the height of her shoulders without her knowing when, and raised her head to rub his head.

"As long as your father doesn't do anything to let me down, I won't divorce him. Besides, if Mom really leaves, she will take you with her. You will be separated from Dad for a few years. However, every year during the school holidays, you can come back here to play for a few months. When you go back, you brothers can discuss whether you want to go with Mom."

She also wanted to ask Shang Nanchen for his opinion.

She was very excited about Jingfeng's proposal.

But Jingxian felt that she didn't have to go to this university. The knowledge she had about genetic breeding was much more advanced than what she learned in this era.

Even when she went to college, she just wasted her time constantly reviewing what she had learned before.

Moreover, Comrade Jingfeng had probably long planned to send her to the capital, so after returning to Beijing, he specifically asked her if she needed any books. Jingxian told him about her requirements, and Comrade Jingfeng brought two sets of high school textbooks and review materials. He also mailed her some professional books, both domestic and foreign.

She never stops learning.

Combined with the more advanced and scientific professional technology and theoretical knowledge she had learned in the apocalypse, she was confident that she could become an expert in this field without going to any school.

Shang Nanchen returned home and saw Jingxian writing something.

He took a look at her and left without disturbing her, then went outside to get firewood to light a fire and cook.

As soon as the fire was lit, Jing Xian came out.

She moved her shoulders and asked him, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's still early? It's already six o'clock." It was time to get off work.

Jing Xian raised her wrist and saw that it was true.

She looked at the still bright day outside and said, "The days are really getting longer now. It's still daytime at 6 o'clock, and the sun won't set until after 7:30."

"We had breakfast early in the morning, so the kids must be very hungry. I saw them chewing a few apricots in their hands. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu felt jealous and wanted to eat more." Shang Nanchen couldn't help laughing when he thought of the way the two kids were eating apricots.

Jing Xian also imagined that scene, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's see if we can dry more dried apricots this year. I think the kids like to eat them." Jing Xian thought that she also dried a lot of dried apricots last year, but they were all gone before the Chinese New Year.

"Did your dad call you today?" Shang Nanchen thought of what Tiedan said to him when he came back, and asked Jing Xian softly.

Jing Xian lowered her head and washed the pot: "I just asked about how things were going recently, and didn't say anything else."

Shang Nanchen lowered his head, feeling very unhappy.

He knew what Jingxian was hesitating about.

"The autumn harvest is over, and you have nothing else to do. The corn can only wait for the harvest now. It will be the same even if you go to another place for research. Many things here are not in line with the rules, and you are the only one who supports it. The people arranged by the higher-ups come here just to study, which is not regular. The environment is much better now. If you go to the capital, even if you don't go to university, you can work in a research institute."

Her resume is better than many others.

It's just a job, so it's definitely fine.

Jing Xian is shocked

She looked at him in surprise: "You know?"

"Well, Tiedan told me when we came back. But the boy didn't seem very happy." Shang Nanchen said in surprise.

Jing Xian thought of what Tiedan had asked her, and said to Shang Nanchen, "He thought I would divorce you if I went to the capital."

“…”

Tsk!

Shang Nanchen has a toothache.

This is truly his own son, and he looks down on him at all.

There are not many division commanders younger than him in the entire military region. He is not bragging, at least my father-in-law has met so many people, so he is still relatively impressive.

Except for the second marriage.

This is a scar on Shang Nanchen's body that cannot be removed.

"Do you want to go?" he asked.

Jing Xian shook her head. "It's good to do research here. Don't the higher-ups give me subsidies? The hospital has been getting ointments from me, and they give me 80 yuan in bonuses every month as subsidies."

Shang Nanchen's salary increased again.

They live a stress-free life.

"Go." If possible, Shang Nanchen didn't want to be separated from Jing Xian, but some things were uncertain at the moment, and he was worried about Jing Xian staying here.

"Start packing your things these few days and hand over what needs to be handed over. Go over to dad's place as soon as possible, take the college entrance exam if you can, and stay there after you are assigned. At worst, I can change my career later and try to get the organization to arrange for me to go to the capital. It doesn't matter if I'm demoted one or two levels." Shang Nanchen had thought it through.

Jing Xian looked at him in astonishment: "Are you crazy? You are the youngest division commander in the entire army, and you have a bright future!"

"That's not as important as you and the children. If you don't like me changing my job..."

"I don't mind!" Jing Xian interrupted him unhappily, "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you in two days."

The next day, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu went out to play with their brothers again.

Jing Xian had nothing to do recently, so she planned to tidy up the house.

Who knew Xu Ning was coming.

Jing Xian saw Xu Ning was a little dazed.

To be honest, she had been estranged from Xu Ning since she gave birth to her child. Especially since she went to Xi City, this was the first time they met.

"Come in and sit down." Jing Xian invited Xu Ning to come in.

Jing Xian poured Xu Ning a glass of water, and Xu Ning took the cup and said, "Thank you."

"Are you still so busy lately?" Jing Xian tried to find a topic to talk to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was silent and said, "It's OK."

The two fell silent again.

Xu Ning is a person of few words, and Jing Xian is not much better.

They both lowered their heads, looked at the teacups in their hands, and continued to turn on the air conditioner.

Jing Xian couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked her directly: "What's the matter with you coming here?"

Xu Ning tightened her fingers, looked at Jing Xian, and asked calmly, "How much do you know about Song Ning's affairs?"

"I only found out about it before she decided to look for her boyfriend. I was the one who suggested it to her. I also arranged for someone to accompany her to the border. I originally wanted her to..."

"Then do you know that our whole family was kept in the dark by her? Everyone went crazy in the previous month!" Xu Ning couldn't help but raise her voice.

Jing Xian didn't speak directly, but waited for Xu Ning to calm down before saying, "Then did you know that the man was the blind date your mother-in-law found for her? Did you know that after the man went to the border, he told Song Ning not to wait for him? Did you know that Song Ning was already pregnant before she went to the border?"

Xu Ning trembled with her lips: "I...she...is pregnant?"

"Yes, she got pregnant before marriage. If it was exposed, she would lose her job and be ordered to abort the child." Jing Xian looked at the emotionally broken Xu Ning and handed her the handkerchief. "Song Ning said that he went to defend his country and might not come back. She wanted to leave him a child. Her partner didn't want to, but she put in some thought to make it happen. She just wanted him to know that even if he died, there would be someone in this world who would love him. Song Ning didn't expect that God would be very kind to her and she really got pregnant."
