After Gu Xi returned, she said that she would take Wang Xu and Tian Congbao to take a group photo the next day, and she specially asked for leave for Congbao.
Asking for leave to take pictures caused Wu Yue to protest loudly: "Is there a parent like you? You didn't even have to go to school just to take pictures. You're simply not doing your job properly! The point is that you didn't even tell me that you were going to take pictures. You're bullying me! I don't care. I'm going to ask for leave to take pictures too."
There was no choice, so Wu Yue called Wei Qingzhe, and Gu Xi took Wang Xu and Tian Congbao to take pictures together.
When they were halfway through taking the photo, a familiar voice rang out: "Gu Xi! Take a photo with us behind your back!"
Gu Xi looked back and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. Sheng Huaian was standing at the door holding Ye Qiu's hand. Ye Qiu was standing with his hands on his hips looking at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was not embarrassed at all about being caught: "How could I carry anything on my back? I did it openly. But you guys came here on your own, didn't you?"
The one-week holiday passed quickly. Many people adjusted their mindsets, but some were still in a tense state.
There is still a week left before the college entrance examination. Gu Xi imitated the speech made by her homeroom teacher when she took the college entrance examination.
“We will ride the wind and waves, and overcome all obstacles. I hope everyone can go all out and move forward courageously towards our goals.
Let go of your fear and nervousness, examine the questions carefully and meticulously in the exam room, focus on the subject, and write with brilliance.
I wish you all the best in the exams, all your guesses are correct, success in the first round, success in the exams, and admission to your ideal university. "
The end of supplementary classes symbolizes the arrival of separation, and a faint sense of parting spreads in the village.
Xu Zhengrong would go to the neighborhood committee whenever he had something to do, sighing, "You said that after you left, the village lost some of its vitality and became less lively."
Chang Ru thought he was a little funny: "When these educated youth first came, especially when Gu Xi first came, you also sighed and said that someone troubled you. Now you are reluctant to let this little trouble go."
Xu Zhengrong immediately glared at Chang Ru and said, "Nonsense, Gu Xi didn't say that. You see, I have always supported your career. The neighborhood committee has done everything very successfully. I am very grateful to you. You also helped solve the problems of elderly care and education."
Gu Xi knew that Chang Ru was joking: "I am a person who prefers to be subtle, and it is not obvious at the beginning. If the school is short of teachers, I can recruit people nearby or in the town. It is also a job, and the salary and bonus are not small."
Xu Zhengrong sighed again: "I know all this, I will definitely stick to it and will not let everyone down."
Among all those taking the college entrance examination, only Gu Xi and Wang Xu were the calmest because they had prepared well early on.
Others, including the carefree Wu Yue and the calm Sheng Huaian, Wei Qingzhe could not help but get nervous. They read the questions again and again and recited the book again and again. Even the people around them couldn't help but get nervous.
This tense mood continued until the college entrance examination results came out, some people were happy while others were worried.
Gu Xi and Wang Xu naturally passed the exam, and after discussing it over, they paid for it out of their own pockets and slaughtered six pigs to celebrate. Every household in the village received a lot of pork, and they were happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Jiajia and Wu Yue also passed the exam. Xu Zhengrong and Wu Yao were very excited. In the end, they and Wang Xu split the price of the six pigs equally.
Xu Zhengrong was so excited that tears streamed down his face: "We actually have a college student in our family. Our ancestors are so happy."
Wu Yao was also very excited: "This is a great time. We didn't have the conditions back then. I'm happy that you can get into university."
Chang Ru stood by and couldn't bear to watch: "Our village is now famous. All those who took the college entrance examination have successfully entered university. This is a great joyous event. The leaders of the town are coming to express their condolences, and there are also reporters coming to interview us."
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengrong smiled again: "The interview with Gu Xi is all thanks to her. She is the lucky star of our village."
Gu Xi quickly waved her hand: "I don't accept interviews. Don't come to me for this kind of thing. I'm most afraid of trouble. Whoever wants to go can go."
Gu Xi reported the good news to her family immediately. Gu Chao specially took a week off to visit Gu Xi and brought two large boxes of candies and Dingsheng cakes: "Oh, I am so tired. My parents said we should celebrate and asked me to bring so many things. Dingsheng cakes are auspicious and candies are for the joy. All villagers will receive one. Everyone is blessed with good things and full of blessings."
The villagers really celebrated the Chinese New Year these days and received a lot of gifts. Everyone sincerely hoped that those who were admitted to university would have better and better things.
Gu Chao not only came to deliver things, but also to take Gu Xi home. Xu Zhengrong and the town leaders expedited the procedures, which was a complete honor.
All good things must come to an end. Two days before departure, Xu Zhengrong and Wu Yao organized a banquet in the village, which was both a farewell dinner for those who had been admitted to university and a celebration banquet for their studies. Those educated youth who did not take the college entrance examination still could not return to the city, so they were inevitably in a bad mood.
Bai Tao is one of them. She is clearly reborn, but why is it always lacking? Looking at Gu Xi, her sense of superiority is somewhat frustrated: "Seeing that you have been admitted to university and have a bright future, but we don't know who will be the final winner. Let's wait and see."
Gu Xi smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't mean to compete with you, we are not the same kind of people, there is no comparison."
This made Bai Tao even more angry, and she looked at Xiang Qian again: "Oh, your boyfriend will get into college, and he will soon meet more outstanding men, and you will soon be despised for being uneducated and dumped. Do you think I'm the only one like this? I tell you, people strive for higher positions, and this is true for everyone. Why did Wang Xu also want to go to college? It's because he was afraid that Gu Xi would despise him. Just wait to be dumped, and in the end you will find out, what's the point of loving passionately, the result is the same."
Lu Yun happened to hear this and angrily stepped forward to argue: "You are sick, it's none of your business whether we are together or not. People always strive for higher goals, and I believe Xiang Qian will also move up. No matter what, I have chosen him, so stop trying to sow discord between us."
Bai Tao glanced forward, sneered, and turned away.
Lu Yun looked at Bai Tao's back, turned his head and glared forward: "What is the relationship between the two of you? You have been weird since the beginning, tell me the truth."
Of course, there was no way to tell the truth, so she could only hug Lu Yun and said, "We have no relationship at all. We just didn't get along from the beginning. She didn't live well, and she couldn't bear to see me living well. It's okay, let's not let her affect our mood. You got into college, and I bought you a gift and put it in your room. I'll go back and take a look later."
When Lu Yun heard about the gift, he was immediately coaxed: "What gift? Come back with me now to see it."
Xiang Qian lovingly took Lu Yun's hand back to the educated youth site. Some students who did not take the college entrance examination saw them and turned back to the dormitory. The two ignored them and went to their room to open the gifts.
The moment he opened the gift, Lu Yun happily hugged Xiang Qian: "Watch! Watches are very expensive. You actually gave me a watch. I like it very much. Please help me put it on."
Xiang Qian took the watch and put it on her: "There is also a pen for studying. It may take me at least a year to return to the city. You should study hard and take care of yourself this year. Also."
Speaking of which, Xiang Qian paused. Lu Yun looked at him in confusion. Xiang Qian glanced at her and continued, "Also, if you meet someone good, that's fine. You deserve better."
This made Lu Yun angry, and he stared at Xiang Qian: "What do you mean? Tell me clearly, what do you mean by this?"
Xiang Qian didn't expect her to be so angry. He wanted to coax her but didn't know what to say.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Yun felt that his enthusiasm was completely cooled down by a bucket of cold water. He pushed him out of the house forcefully: "If you can't figure it out, don't come to me again. I don't want this watch and this pen, you can take them."
As he said that, he took off his watch and put it in the box, and wanted to return the pen to Xiang Qian. Xiang Qian was really nervous now: "I was wrong, Lu Yun, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted you to not feel burdened. I'm not good at talking, don't be angry."
Lu Yun didn't want to hear what he said at all. He pushed the man out while crying and closed the door. "I don't want to talk nonsense with you now. Go away."
After pushing the person out, Lu Yun sat on the edge of the bed crying, feeling empty inside. All along, he felt that it was all his wishful thinking, and he couldn't tell clearly whether Xiang Qian loved him or not.
Xiang Qian stood at the door at a loss. He shouted a few words but Lu Yun just ignored him. There was nothing he could do as he didn't know how to coax people. He could only go back to the house. Others heard the noise and watched the fun from the side, feeling a bit gloating.
