Mr. Ju didn't want to see them at first, but the couple was really adaptable. They came home again and again carrying things, and after a few times, Mr. Ju's attitude softened a lot.
At least when I saw the couple, they were no longer speaking harshly to each other like they did at the beginning.
This couple also knows how to pretend. In front of the old man, they care about her and ask her about her well-being. They talk about Tingting's good and bad all the time. But when Mr. Ju is not around, they have a different face and keep calling her a stupid girl.
He also scolded her for not knowing how to say something nice to her grandfather, saying that he had raised her in vain for so many years.
Tingting just felt it was ironic. Isn't it funny? She has grown up so much, what else can her parents do except throwing her to her grandfather?
But every time she saw her grandfather's expectant eyes, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Tingting's silence made Tian Cai understand what Grandpa Ju meant. She had thought of this possibility. After all, he was Grandpa's biological son. The relationship he had raised for so many years could not be easily abandoned. Besides, how many parents could really be angry with their children!
"Read the books carefully and don't forget what I told you. You will need them someday." In the end, Tian Cai could only tell her this, hoping that she would not worry too much about these things and focus her energy on other things.
Although Tingting didn't know why Tian Cai asked her not to stop studying, she still did as she was told out of trust in Tian Cai. "Then Sister Tian Cai, when can I study medicine with you?"
"Let's talk about it in a few years."
"It will take a few more years—" Tingting said disappointedly, "Okay then!"
This was not the first time Tingting had talked about studying medicine with Tian Cai, but she had never agreed.
This girl has been living with Grandpa Ju in Kaoshan Village since she was seven or eight years old. Her horizons are limited to this small village. She has not yet made up her mind. Tian Cai does not want her to choose to study medicine under such circumstances.
She was thinking that after the Ju family was rehabilitated and the college entrance examination was resumed, Tingting would definitely be able to get into university with her ability. Then she would be able to see the wider world and all kinds of people outside, and she might not insist on studying medicine anymore.
————————
At the end of June, news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread quietly in private, but most people still did not believe it.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years, so it is not easy to resume it. However, Tian Cai knows that this is true. The country is in urgent need of high-tech talents. When these top scientific researchers grow old, there will be no successors, so resuming the college entrance examination is imminent.
She accidentally leaked the news when she was communicating with Qiu Xiaohuan, Qu Ting and Tingting.
After reading Tian Cai's letter, Qiu Xiaohuan's heart started pounding. If, if this was true, would she still have the chance to go to college?
Given Tian Cai's personality, she would never say anything unprepared. Since she wrote this in the letter, the news is most likely true.
Qiu Xiaohuan quickly ran out of the room and anxiously asked her mother, who was knitting in the living room, "Mom, is my dad home yet?"
"Not yet," Mother Qiu looked up at the clock. "Your dad usually comes back at half past six. It's only six now, so he still has half an hour to go. Why are you in such a hurry today?"
Qiu Xiaohuan stamped her feet, trying to calm her excitement, "I need to find him for something."
"What's the matter?" Mother Qiu asked curiously. Her daughter had become much more stable since she came back from Liaoning Province. It was rare to see her scratching her head like this.
Qiu Xiaohuan had no idea that her own mother used the word "scratching ears and cheeks" to describe her, otherwise she would have been furious.
"My dad will come back and we'll talk together later, otherwise I'll have to say it twice."
Mother Qiu rolled her eyes at her. She had thought her daughter had finally grown up, but it turned out she was the same as before. It was all an illusion that she had grown up.
When Mr. Qiu came back, Qiu Xiaohuan had calmed down a lot, but she still rushed to Mr. Qiu as soon as possible.
"Dad, you're back!"
Qiu Wenzhong said "hmm" and went back to the house to take off his shirt and changed into a loose and comfortable linen short-sleeved shirt. As soon as he put on the dry and comfortable clothes, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, this clothes was the most comfortable.
This linen was given to Qiu Xiaohuan by Tian Cai. Seeing that Tian Cai wore it beautifully and coolly every day, she insisted on exchanging it with her. Tian Cai didn't have much linen left so she refused. Qiu Xiaohuan then went to pester her every day.
Later, Tian Cai couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Yang Dong to help send some more and gave her some of it. That was the end of it.
But this thing is indeed very suitable for wearing in summer. Qiu Xiaohuan used her poor needlework to make this short-sleeved shirt for her father, and it ended up becoming the most commonly worn piece of clothing he wore at home.
He is obviously a big leader, but he wears a coat with exaggeratedly large stitching every day and doesn't feel embarrassed at all. Even Qiu's mother can't stand it, but he is willing to wear it!
"Dad, can I ask you something?" Qiu Xiaohuan happily came forward and looked at Father Qiu with blinking eyes.
"What's the matter?" Father Qiu poured himself a glass of water and asked after taking a big sip.
"Are we really going to resume the college entrance examination?"
The other two people in the room were stunned at the same time.
Qiu Xiaohuan looked from one to another, and finally her gaze fixed on her father. "Is this true, Dad?"
Qiu Wenzhong glanced at his wife, and his mother understood. She quickly got up and looked out the window. After making sure that there was no one there, she simply stood by and waited.
Qiu Wenzhong called Qiu Xiaohuan into the study and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"Tian Cai told me," Qiu Xiaohuan stared at her father, "so is this true?"
Father Qiu was silent. The people involved had discussed this matter many times, but there was still no definite answer. The majority of people supported it, but there were still quite a few diehards who disagreed with the restoration.
But with the vision that Qiu Wenzhong has honed from so many years of immersion in officialdom, this matter is most likely a foregone conclusion.
Tian Cai is just an ordinary doctor in Liao Province, but he actually knows such core information. No matter how I think about it, it feels wrong!
"The Tian Cai you are talking about is the doctor who saved you last time?" Qiu Wenzhong decided to ask and find out what is different about this doctor.
"Tian Cai has saved me more than once." Qiu Xiaohuan still felt scared when she thought about what happened back then. However, these things were long gone, and she didn't want to talk about them and make her parents worry. However, she still had to express Tian Cai's importance. "If it weren't for her, your daughter would have been dead long ago."
Qiu Wenzhong's heart skipped a beat. Seeing his daughter with her eyelids drooping and a calm face, as if she didn't want to say more, he felt like something was blocking his throat.
He never knew that Xiaohuan had suffered so much in the countryside. Qiu Wenzhong didn't even dare to imagine what kind of experience would make her say "no longer in this world".
He suddenly felt extremely regretful that he had not used his privilege to keep his only child in the city, but instead let her suffer with the boy from the Yan family. He thought the child would come back after learning a lesson.
It was Qiu Xiaohuan's own fault. She secretly registered without telling her family. By the time Qiu Wenzhong found out, the file had already been submitted and could not be withdrawn.
With so many people watching him, Qiu Wenzhong had no choice but to let his daughter, who had been raised in pampered conditions, go to that remote mountain village.
