Hearing Shen Dayang yelling at her, Wang Chunni felt even more aggrieved. With tears streaming down her face, she retorted loudly, "Do you think I don't want to go to university? Back in high school, I was the math class representative! My math grades were exceptionally good."
However, if I really go back to the city to go to school, what will happen to you and the children? I really can't bear to leave you all, you heartless rascal!
The more Wang Chunni talked, the more heartbroken she became. The grievances in her heart surged out like a flood bursting its banks. She could no longer suppress her emotions and finally sat down heavily on the kang (a heated brick bed) and burst into loud sobs.
Wang Chunni's crying was like a sharp sword piercing Shen Dayang's heart, causing him immense heartache.
His expression softened instantly, and his anger vanished without a trace. He quickly lowered his voice and gently comforted her, "Oh, honey, please don't cry. It's all my fault. I was really too harsh with my words. I was just worried!"
Think about it carefully. People who never study at all have already signed up for the college entrance examination without hesitation, while you have been studying hard for two whole years.
It would be such a waste if you didn't take this exam; it's a crucial opportunity in your life!
Shen Dayang paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, even if you go to take the exam and go to university, it doesn't mean you'll abandon me and the child."
We can find a way to solve this problem! At worst, when you go to school, I'll rent a place near the school and bring the child to stay with you.
This way, it won't affect your schooling, and our family can be together. What do you think?
Looking at Shen Dayang, who was at a loss and looked completely bewildered, Wang Chunni stopped crying and muttered irritably, "It's easy for you to say."
People in the city all eat government-subsidized grain, so there's simply no land to cultivate.
Are you planning to take my whole family to the city to starve?
Seeing that his wife had stopped crying, Shen Dayang finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face as he comforted her, "Oh, what's there to worry about? Can a living person die from holding in their pee?"
"At worst, I'll just find a tricycle to collect recyclables. My uncle mentioned it to me last time I went home; he said you can make quite a bit of money collecting recyclables in a year! You city folks are just too concerned with saving face, too proud to lower yourselves."
Shen Dayang thought the idea was pretty good, so he made the decision: "Okay, it's settled then. I'll go with you to town tomorrow to register for the exam. Otherwise, all your hard work studying every day will be for nothing."
Seeing Shen Dayang's firm support, Wang Chunni no longer hesitated or struggled.
After all, Shen Dayang was right. This might be her only chance to return to city life. If she missed this opportunity, she might never be able to return to the city in her entire life.
Whenever Wang Chunni thinks of the regret and heartache her parents expressed when they learned she was going to marry someone from the village; whenever she thinks of the reluctant expressions on her parents' faces when she left after visiting relatives each time she went home, Wang Chunni feels a pang of sorrow and pain. Her parents must also want her to return to the city.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to give it a try.
Indeed, can a living person die from holding their pee? At worst, she would swallow her pride and borrow money, or even beg Shuning for help to help Shen Dayang buy a job.
Regardless, she was determined to fight for this rare opportunity to return to the city.
At that very moment, in the educated youth settlement located in Qingshan Brigade, Gu Xinyi and Gao Hongyuan, after hearing the news that the national college entrance examination had been reinstated, happily went to the town to register for the exam.
Throughout this period, the two of them have never slacked off and have consistently persevered in their studies.
Although the two did not study with Xu Laidi and the others, they would occasionally work together to study difficult problems and exchange experiences.
To better prepare for her studies, Gu Xinyi, who was not short of money, even bought a set of high school textbooks and studied them with Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi.
However, at this very moment, as the three of them sat around a small table discussing which university they should apply to, they disagreed on which one to apply to.
Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi preferred to return to Haishi, but Gu Xinyi longed to develop her career in Beijing.
Although Chen Shuning had left the Qingshan Brigade, they maintained close contact through letters, so Gu Xinyi, who regarded Chen Shuning as her best friend, was determined to go to Beijing.
Furthermore, considering that Gu Xinyi's troublesome relatives all lived in Haishi, she was really reluctant to return there.
It wasn't because she was afraid of these relatives, but simply because she found them too troublesome.
Although Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi's relatives are all abroad, their friends are all in Haishi, so they both want to apply to universities in Haishi.
After all, Shanghai is a bustling metropolis with the same opportunities and development potential as Beijing.
Seeing that the couple was disagreeing on this issue, Wang Zhi couldn't help but feel anxious.
He quickly stated that he was fine with going anywhere and that the couple could decide for themselves.
After saying that, Wang Zhi heartlessly picked up Gao Hongyuan's youngest daughter, Xiaoxue, and walked out of the house.
Over the years, Wang Zhi has always adhered to his beliefs and has not married or had children in the countryside.
Although many girls in the village and the educated youth settlement were attracted to him and tried to get close to him, Wang Zhi never accepted anyone and remained single.
