When Wen Ruan walked out of the examination room for the preliminary exam, Song's mother waited anxiously at the entrance.
Originally, Song Yan also wanted to ask for leave to bring her, but Wen Ruan felt that this was just a preliminary exam and there was no need to make such a fuss, so she directly refused.
In the end, Song Yan relented, but insisted that he personally escort Wen Ruan to the examination hall. Only after receiving Wen Ruan's approval did he reluctantly leave for work early in the morning.
But Song's mother wasn't so easily appeased. She came to the small courtyard early in the morning, saying she was going to take Wen Ruan to take the preliminary exam and then return to the main courtyard to celebrate. She even asked Aunt Li to cook a table full of dishes to reward Wen Ruan.
As luck would have it, while Song's mother was anxiously waiting at the entrance of the examination hall, this scene was witnessed by other people in the compound. They also had children taking the exam and had come to see them off. At first, they were a little confused, but they understood when they saw Wen Ruan come out of the examination hall.
It turns out that Director Song's daughter-in-law also came to take the college entrance examination!
Upon receiving Wen Ruan, Song's mother quickly stuffed a hot water bottle into Wen Ruan's hands, urging her to warm her hands. Estimating that it was about time, she went to a state-run restaurant in a back alley and specifically asked for a hot water bottle.
On such a cold day, Song's mother was worried that her child would get cold while doing tests and answering questions in the classroom.
Wen Ruan's hands were a little stiff from the cold. The examination room was in a very ordinary environment. Many schools had faced suspension of classes before, and many environments and facilities were temporarily built and repaired.
She was just unlucky; she happened to be in the right place at the right time...
Fortunately, apart from the less popular ones, everything else went relatively smoothly, and the questions were relatively simple. After all, this was just a preliminary test, intended to simply screen out a few people.
Wen Ruan followed Song's mother towards the compound, encountering many acquaintances along the way, and she greeted them one by one.
When they were almost home, Aunt Sun from the compound quickly caught up with them, greeted Wen Ruan, and pulled Song's mother aside.
Wen Ruan was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what was going on. She didn't rush back, but simply stood there, waiting silently.
No one knows what Aunt Sun and Mother Song were talking about, but as she listened, her face grew increasingly pale, and she suddenly shouted, "How can there be such despicable people every day, gossiping about other people's families for no reason, instead of doing their own children a good deed..."
Afterwards, Aunt Sun seemed to comfort Song's mother for quite a while before Song's mother gradually calmed down.
After Aunt Sun left, Song's mother composed herself and prepared to go home. When she saw Wen Ruan still standing there, her heart skipped a beat, and she quietly observed the distance between the two.
"At this distance, Ruan Ruan probably can't hear anything..." Song's mother said with some unease.
If Ruan Ruan really found out about those things, and those gossipy people affected her mood for the exam, she would definitely call Song Yan to go door to door to complain. Song's mother was very angry.
"Mom, what did Aunt Sun say to you just now? You didn't look too well," Wen Ruan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Song's mother had never lied before, but at this moment, she felt that her mind had never worked so fast: "It's because there are some gossipy people in the compound saying that Song Heng is so old and still doesn't have a girlfriend, so he might have some health problems."
After saying that, he actually muttered a few curses under his breath, which made Wen Ruan feel that those gossiping people were going too far, especially after hearing Song Yan tell the story about Song Heng before, she also felt a little wronged for him.
......
In the evening, even Wen's parents came to the compound after get off work. Everyone gathered together to inquire about Wen Ruan's progress in the preliminary exam.
Wen Ruan also looked confident, saying that the preliminary exam would definitely be fine, which put her family at ease.
A week later, the preliminary exam results came out, and Wen Ruan passed the preliminary exam with the second highest score in the city, thus qualifying to take the college entrance examination.
The whole family was overjoyed. Although the preliminary exam was relatively easy, Wen Ruan's achievement demonstrated that she had a good chance of getting into top universities like Tsinghua and Peking University, and getting into university was practically a certainty.
But her family didn't say anything. They all knew what was going on and were afraid of putting too much pressure on Wen Ruan. They just told her to do her best.
But when the results came out, Wen Ruan wasn't very satisfied. Keep in mind, compared to others, she had started her review a year in advance...
But the first place winner surprised her greatly; it was Dong Ya. The last time the two met was during the Chinese New Year when she and Song Yan visited Dong Shuangqun to offer New Year's greetings.
Wen Ruan sighed inwardly, "She truly lives up to her reputation as the female lead in the original book..."
In addition, Song Ling also participated in the preliminary exam and passed it smoothly. Her score was quite good. However, Miao Cuihua called Song's mother afterwards, saying that Song Ling was not doing well in her studies at home and was wondering if she could study with Ruan Ruan.
After hearing Miao Cuihua's detailed explanation, Song's mother hesitated but did not agree immediately. She said she would ask Wen Ruan in the afternoon and reply to her in the evening.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruan nodded in agreement. She had always liked Song Ling, this sunny and lively girl, and had even specially gotten her a set of college entrance exam study materials to send back, hoping that she could change her destiny.
There are more possibilities...
The next day, Uncle Song rode his bicycle into the city with Song Ling and some of her necessities, planning to return after the college entrance examination.
When Uncle Song came, Miao Cuihua specially tied a sack of grain and dried vegetables to the front pole, saying it was for Song Ling's rations.
Song Ling could only stay here for a maximum of twenty days, so she couldn't possibly need so much food, not to mention half a bag of dried vegetables, which were extremely rare in winter.
Wen Ruan declined, but Uncle Song waved his hand and refused, repeatedly thanking Wen Ruan for her help and guidance to Song Ling.
Whether it was Wen Ruan's help with Song Ling's studies or the previous affair with Jin, the family knew everything. Even though Jin Hua later married the brigade leader's daughter, he remained incorrigible, still occasionally harassing Song Ling.
It just so happened that Uncle Song, who had to leave work early one day, encountered the incident and learned the whole story. He then turned around and went to the brigade leader's house.
On that day at the educated youth compound, Jin Hua and Wu Qingqing had a fierce argument.
Therefore, Uncle Song's whole family was extremely grateful to Wen Ruan; otherwise... who knows what would have happened to Song Ling...
Right now, the brigade leader's family is still embroiled in a huge argument over Jin Hua's upcoming college entrance exam. Thinking of this, Uncle Song felt even more grateful to Wen Ruan and immediately carried the large sack he had brought into the kitchen.
After saying hello, he quickly turned around and left.
Wen Ruan wanted to chase after him...
"Sister Ruan Ruan, please accept it. My parents are very grateful to you. If you don't accept it, they will feel uneasy and embarrassed to trouble you." Song Ling said, pulling on Wen Ruan's clothes.
"So, what exactly happened to you? What happened?"
