Chapter 218
After sending Director Di away, Zhou Jiani thought for a moment, called the Second Spinning Mill, and told her mother about the incident. Yu Huifang was furious. She could have warned Nini about such a dirty thing, but Yu Chengchun had the audacity to find someone to show off in front of Zhou Jiani. She felt that such people entering the Hua University campus were a desecration of the land.
After Yu Huifang hung up the phone, she rushed to Yu Chengchun's workplace. She originally wanted to tell the truth, but after all, it didn't happen and she couldn't produce any evidence. If she told the truth, Yu Chengchun would easily turn the tables on her, so when she saw her adopted brother, she scolded him by bringing up the past.
Yu Chengchun guessed that his elder sister might know that Director Di went to see Zhou Jiani, but he was very angry. He had been trying to please her humbly for the past few months, but his elder sister was so hard-hearted and refused to ease the relationship.
I just want my niece to help me with the exam, I'm not going to cut her flesh, is it that serious?
Yu Yang is Yu Huifang's nephew and Zhou Jiani's cousin. Can't he make some concessions for the sake of his children's future?
Yu Chengchun's dissatisfaction with Yu Huifang went beyond this; he had always been resentful. Ever since he was little, his parents had always said that girls should give in to boys in all things, even if they got married, they should support their brothers. But his eldest sister, this unfilial daughter, ignored their parents' advice. Now he was willing to let go of the past grudges, but he refused to agree to his niece's help with an exam. He was so petty and cold-blooded.
This matter did not succeed, and Director Di was also very dissatisfied with him. His chances of promotion were probably very slim. Yu Chengchun was very angry, but he dared not say a word when Yu Huifang pointed at his nose and scolded him, for fear that Yu Huifang would reveal in public that he wanted to find someone to take the exam for him.
Yu Huifang is not that stupid. She is not afraid of those who wear shoes when she is barefoot. Now Yu Chengchun has taboos and will think twice before doing anything. Once the taboos are gone, she is afraid that this damn plaster will stick to them and it will never end. But she also warned Yu Chengchun fiercely.
Of course, Yu Chengchun didn't dare to ask Zhou Jiani for help again. Fortunately, he had two plans. However, he was not sure what kind of school that person could help his son get into, or even whether he could be absolutely sure that he could get in.
After all, there are not many people who can take exams for you on the street. They must be reliable and have a certain cultural foundation, which is really difficult to deal with.
When Yu Huifang returned home and went upstairs, she happened to meet Liu Ailing coming down the stairs. She passed by Yu Huifang and neither of them paid any attention to each other.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Liu Ailing turned around and looked up. Yu Huifang had already returned to the house, so she naturally could not see Yu Huifang.
Liu Ailing squeezed the book in her hand. She often studied and recited books downstairs. It wasn’t because she liked the environment outside, but because she didn’t have a good learning environment.
Although her father supported her to concentrate on studying for the college entrance examination at home, her mother and younger siblings did not have any self-awareness. She had no quiet study environment at all. Compared with the farm, she just did not have to spend a lot of time on labor.
It was like this when she was in school. At that time, she often went to Zhou Jiani's house to study. At Zhou's house, when Zhou Jiani was studying or reading, her two younger brothers had to speak in low voices and walk lightly. Several elders in the family would speak even more quietly, for fear of disturbing Zhou Jiani's study.
She was extremely envious at that time.
It’s the same family, the same parents, why are there so many differences?
If... she meant if she hadn't fallen out with the Zhou family, she should be able to go to the Zhou family to read books now.
Liu Ailing lowered her eyes.
Zhou Jiani didn't know that her mother had scolded her uncle. She was making a blackboard newspaper with her group members.
Classes one and two discussed economic issues, and the blackboard became the focus of the debate. Zhou Jiani was also happy to participate in such debates.
Everyone has the opportunity to express their opinions, and the content of the debate is to gather everyone's opinions and then select the most essential parts to write on the blackboard.
Think their views are unreasonable? Then come and debate.
The two classes communicated in this way and had a lot of fun arguing...
Zhou Jiani carried out her studies in an orderly manner. She would go back to Shichahai to stay for two nights on weekends, occasionally go to Professor Fu's house for a meal, and collect duck eggs from Zhai Hong. Sometimes when she was tired of studying, she would go out for a stroll on her bike. It would be best if she could get something from the black market, but if not, she would just treat it as a bargaining chip.
Seeing that Zhou Jiani's orders were stable, Zhai Hong's mother couldn't help but secretly add three or four jars so that she could pickle more duck eggs.
During this period, she had two phone calls and several letters with Qiu Zeming. In her most recent letter, Zhou Jiani mentioned that she wanted to visit her relatives during the summer vacation and asked Qiu Zeming if it was convenient and whether she needed to apply for it.
Before the summer vacation started, Zhou Jiani had already planned her summer vacation schedule. She would go to the military base where Qiu Zeming was stationed, then return to Bin County, and spend the rest of the time in Qi Yang with her family.
It was July and a new round of college entrance examinations was about to begin. Zhou Jiani didn't pay much attention to it. As for her uncle's outrageous actions, Zhou Jiani didn't write a letter to report it. She collected some newspapers during this period, which reported on the cheating cases that were reported after the resumption of the college entrance examination last year.
She sent these newspapers to Xiao Min and asked Xiao Min to help her find opportunities to submit her applications to all local schools that could be used as examination venues.
Dozens of people were dealt with in that college entrance examination cheating case. If the school did not take it seriously and did not strictly verify the information of all college entrance examination students, once cheating was discovered, not only would the parties involved be punished, but those who were derelict of duty would also be implicated.
She didn't care about it anymore after that. Zhou Jiani couldn't handle it openly. She had to consider whether her family would be in trouble from her uncle's family. However, the overall examination environment was strict, so Yu Chengchun couldn't blame her.
While others were busy preparing for the college entrance exam, Zhou Jiani and her roommates in the dormitory also entered battle mode, getting up at five in the morning and staying up until after midnight to prepare for the final exam.
High-intensity learning requires sufficient nutrition.
One day, Zhou Jiani suggested that everyone pool their money to buy a chicken and make soup to nourish their bodies.
It was passed almost unanimously. Six people bought a chicken together. The price was not expensive after sharing it, and everyone could afford it.
Zhou Jiani: "I'm responsible for stewing for everyone..."
The eldest, Lv Minjuan, rubbed Zhou Jiani's cheeks, which were obviously plumper than those of the other people in the dormitory, and said, "This matter can only be left to you. When we meet your future mother-in-law one day, we will flatter her and speak well of you."
Because everyone knows that Zhou Jiani's future in-laws are local, which is different from Zhai Hong. Zhai Hong lives far away, and it is not as convenient for her to go to her future in-laws' home as Zhou Jiani would do if she carried a large bowl of chicken soup and squeezed on the bus.
Zhou Jiani had ready-made chickens in the warehouse. She collected the money according to the market price and went back to the yard to make a bowl of chicken soup. She also added wolfberries and mushrooms to it herself.
She stewed a whole chicken and even brought the ceramic pot back to the dormitory. Everyone enjoyed the delicious stewed chicken, drank a lunch box of chicken soup, and continued to study in high spirits.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the college entrance examination.
Qi Yang and Yu Chengchun looked at the teacher who was strictly checking photos at the classroom door with a look of grief on his face, and his calves were trembling.
Didn’t I hear before that you can enter by just showing your admission ticket? Why do we have to check one by one?
He looked at his son and 'son' beside him and whispered, "The inspection is so strict, is it okay?"
Yu Yang was also a little nervous, but asking him to take the test would be worse than roasting him. He insisted and whispered, "Let Brother Wang try."
A young man nearby said, "Then wait until the busiest time and see if you can squeeze in."
Yu Chengchun always felt uneasy. He looked around and paused when he saw Director Di and his daughter.
Director Di's face was also very ugly, but the person standing next to him was his own daughter, so this could not be fake. Yu Chengchun knew Di Jiao.
Yu Yang was really nervous this time. He also saw Di Jiao, and Di Jiao also saw him. She ran over and said, "Yu Yang, we are in the same examination room. Let's go and line up together."
Yu Chengchun was a little confused and looked at Director Di, who nodded at him.
Yu Chengchun's heart was pounding. What did that mean? Was Director Di also scared?
Originally there was someone accompanying his family, but now Director Di suddenly changed his mind. Did he hear some rumors?
Yu Chengchun gritted his teeth and said to his son, "You and Di Jiao go line up."
Yu Yang didn't want to take the test at all: "Dad!"
You can fail this year, but you can't be banned from taking the exam after being found out. The worst that can happen is that you can postpone it for another year and make new plans.
Yu Yang walked into the classroom with his head lowered. Yu Chengchun dismissed the young man next to him and went over to offer Director Di a cigarette: "Director Di..."
Director Di nodded and said, "Let the children perform well. Don't be nervous. If you don't pass the exam this year, just study hard. You can take it again next year."
He heard some news that various schools had held several meetings and proposed that the information of candidates should be carefully verified during the college entrance examination, and that cheating and impersonation during the examination should be strictly investigated.
Director Di felt that the situation was not good. He did not take any risks. After careful consideration, he decided to let his daughter repeat a year and then slowly find a solution.
But he would not discuss this topic with Yu Chengchun.
In Bin County, after finishing her last exam, Liu Ailing walked out of the examination room, let out a long breath, and took a bus back to the farm.
She could take leave to review before, but after the college entrance examination, she had to return to the farm to work.
Zhou Jiani finished her last exam and was picked up by Du Yunxin as soon as she left the classroom.
"Have you finished your exams? I asked Sister Fang to make a few dishes to nourish you. You look thinner."
Zhou Jiani said goodbye to her roommates and left on her bike with Du Yunxin.
On the way, Du Yunxin asked, "Jia Ni, are you planning to go see Ze Ming after summer vacation?"
After sending the last letter, Zhou Jiani still hadn't received a reply from Qiu Zeming. Zhou Jiani guessed that he might not be able to reply, and while she was looking forward to it, she was also a little worried and concerned about him.
Now that Du Yunxin mentioned this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Aunt Du, did Zeming call home?"
Du Yunxin nodded, but her expression was not relaxed at all. She only found out that her son was injured again after receiving a call from him, and the injury was to his right arm. She couldn't reply to Zhou Jiani for fear that Jiani would find out something was wrong, but she didn't tell her family either. She just called home two days ago. Knowing that Zhou Jiani was preparing for the final exams, she didn't rush to ask her to come home for dinner or answer the phone. But Qiu Zeming was worried that summer vacation would start before Zhou Jiani received the letter he had just written, so he asked his mother to keep an eye on it. He would call back after Jiani finished her exams and came home for dinner.
"Well, the situation on the front lines has been very tense, and Ze Ming didn't have time to reply to your letter. He was afraid you'd be worried, so he quickly called after returning to base." Du Yunxin suppressed her worries and tried to keep her tone light. "He should call tonight."
Zhou Jiani's heart was flying.
When she returned to the Qiu family, Xin Jiamei no longer lived in the compound. She moved back to her own home as soon as she finished her confinement. She did not hire a nanny, and her biological mother helped take care of the child.
Aunt Fang was very happy to see Zhou Jiani coming over and said, "Why do you look thinner?"
Du Yunxin: "I've been busy studying for exams, and I've lost weight. I need to eat more."
Zhou Jiani was ashamed. She often secretly supplemented herself and often had special treatment on weekends.
But I came here not to eat today, but to wait for Qiu Zeming's call.
