Seeing his mother like this, Ye Haonan could only comfort her, "Mom, don't worry. Xiaoxue has been teaching me how to study in the past year. I will take the college entrance examination with Xiaoxue this time."
"Really? That's true! I haven't heard you mention it before!"
But, but can you do it? The exam is not as easy as you think. What if Xiaoxue passes and you don’t? We still have to separate."
"Mom! Don't worry. Xiaoxue has already promised me that no matter whether I pass the exam or not, our family of four will stay together.
Xiaoxue asked me to bring the child back to the city with her and accompany her to college."
"Oh my! That's great! Second brother, you don't know, I've been worried to death about this lately. Now it's all over, I feel relieved."
The Ye family’s concerns were also playing out in other parts of the brigade.
At the easternmost end of the brigade, next to the big willow tree, the old Zhu family was arguing about the same thing.
The Zhu family is the most populous family in Donglin Brigade, with five generations living under one roof.
The one who is arguing at the moment is Mr. Zhu.
The wife of Zhu Baojia, the grandson of Zhu Lao Da, was Fan Xiaojuan, an educated youth who went to the countryside.
Fan Xiaojuan had just arrived at Donglin Brigade for less than a month when she was framed by Zhu Baojia. The main reason was that Fan Xiaojuan was good-looking and could work.
Such a good daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern. As soon as she arrived at Donglin Brigade, she was spotted by Zhu Baojia.
Because Zhu Baojia is the eldest grandson in the family, he is spoiled by his elders. He does not work properly every day, is ugly, and is not tall. It is even more difficult for him to find a wife with such conditions.
Zhu Baojia's mother often sighed about her son's marriage. Suddenly, when she heard her son say that he had fallen in love with an educated youth, how could she refuse?
She even conspired with her son and husband to knock the girl unconscious, and then succeeded. She then used threats and bribes to force the girl to marry Zhu Baojia.
Ever since Shen Xiaojuan married into the Zhu family, she has become the family's work mule and horse, and the sow that gives birth to children.
In just less than five years, she has given birth to two sons and a daughter, and is currently pregnant with another.
Because of the continuous births, Shen Xiaojuan has been exhausted and has become unrecognizable.
She had always wanted to escape from the Zhu family and the countryside. Therefore, when she learned that the college entrance examination had been resumed, she gave up and studied day and night.
Shen Xiaojuan had graduated from high school before going to the countryside, so she had a certain foundation. In just less than two months, she had mastered everything in the book.
She was absolutely sure that as long as she could take the exam, she would be able to get into a good university.
She had already planned that as long as she was admitted to university, she would abandon the children and divorce Zhu Jiabao. She didn't like Zhu Jiabao anyway, and had no feelings for the children she had given birth to.
Although everyone in the Zhu family opposed her taking the college entrance examination, Shen Xiaojuan seemed to be possessed by a demon this time. Whenever someone tried to stop her, she would go crazy and attack them with a knife.
She had already made up her mind that if she was not allowed to study and take exams, she would die together with the Zhu family. She would not be able to recover, and the Zhu family who harmed her would not be able to survive either.
The same problem also happened to Zhang, the accountant of Donglin Brigade.
The difference is that the protagonist of the Zhang family is Yang Qingsheng, the educated youth son-in-law.
Zhang Chuntao, the youngest daughter of Accountant Zhang, and Yang Qingsheng, an educated youth, were in a free love relationship and had a good relationship. After four years of marriage, they already had two sons.
As soon as the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, Accountant Zhang called his youngest daughter and her husband over to ask about their plans.
Of course Yang Qingsheng wanted to go back to the city, and Accountant Zhang did not stop him. He just said that if he wanted to go back to the city, he had to go with Chuntao to get a marriage certificate first. Not only that, he also asked Yang Qingsheng to ask his family for some money to give to Chuntao, and write a letter of guarantee that he would never abandon his wife and children.
Accountant Zhang did this for the sake of his daughter. He had experienced a lot and knew that people's hearts were fickle.
Although Yang Qingsheng seems to be treating his daughter well now, no one can predict what will happen when he returns to the city in the future.
As a father, he can only protect the interests of his daughter and two grandsons as much as possible.
Yang Qingsheng certainly knew what his father-in-law was thinking. Although he would not do that, he was a little shaken when he thought of his family far away in Beijing.
Forget it, just consider it as a guarantee to reassure my father-in-law, so that the family members don’t cause any trouble when he’s not paying attention.
After everyone's intensive study, the exam day finally arrived.
As the captain of the Donglin Brigade, Ye Zhongyi was quite thoughtful. He specially found four ox carts of the brigade to help send people to the examination site.
Some people think Ye Zhongyi is stupid and asks why he is so eager to show goodwill to these educated youth.
Ye Zhongyi didn't even give these people a glance.
They are a bunch of short-sighted people. They don't even think about it carefully. Among that group of educated youth, there are many people with complicated family backgrounds.
If they can remember a few good things about their Donglin Brigade when they return to the city in the future, who knows what benefits it might bring to them.
Although he did not have a high level of education, he was not stupid and thought long-term. The fact that he had never made things difficult for any educated youth showed that he was a visionary.
Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan completed the exams in their respective examination rooms.
Next, just wait!
During the waiting period, the director of the garment factory personally found the Ye family in Donglin Brigade.
Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan were playing with the child when they heard voices in the yard.
The two looked at each other, quickly put the child in place, and got up and left the house together.
