"Mom, is Dad asleep?"
"Yes. Hurry up and wash up, and go to bed early if you have nothing to do." Jiang's mother said.
"Mom..." Hesitation flashed across Xu Sheng's face, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's the matter? Don't waste time, just tell me."
"If I don't pass the exam..." Xu Sheng didn't finish his words.
"What's the big deal? Even though I haven't had much education, I know that the college entrance examination has been reinstated and will definitely be held every year. If you didn't pass this year, just study hard and continue next year."
"Your second sister said that you studied very hard when you were in the countryside. You are all my children. Your second sister is so smart, so you are not stupid."
Xu Shenggang felt a little touched.
"But she's definitely not as smart as my daughter."
A little touching, okay, it's true.
"Mom, I will try my best." Xu Sheng was stimulated by Xu Zhiyi and was full of fighting spirit.
Don’t be afraid of failure. Even if you fail, get up from where you fell.
After Xu Sheng figured it out, he stopped worrying about it.
"Mom, go to bed early. Dad and I will go buy tickets together tomorrow."
"OK."
The next day, the Xu family got busy.
Xu Hai went to the factory early in the morning to ask for leave, and on the way back he went to the street office to get letters of introduction for three people. Only with the letters of introduction could he go to the train station to buy tickets.
Jiang's mother was tidying up at home, thinking that she would not be home for ten days, so she put her things away.
Someone was calling her outside.
"Meizi, are you home?"
"I'm here, Chunmei, come in and talk." Jiang Mei called her into the house.
Ma Chunmei and Jiang Mei have the best relationship in the compound, and her man works in the same factory as Xu Hai.
"Meizi, do you have any pickled mustard greens at home? My kid is clamoring for sour noodle soup, and it would be better if we had some pickled mustard greens."
Ma Chunmei, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family next door, said this while holding a piece of tofu in her bowl.
"Yes. Wait, I'll get it for you." Jiang Mei said and went into the kitchen.
"Tofu tofu, I just bought it at the market, it's fresh."
After a while, Jiang Mei brought out a bowl of sauerkraut.
"Why are you being so polite to me? Take the tofu home and eat it."
"I bought two pieces. Hurry up and take them in, or I won't be able to ask you for pickled cabbage next time."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Mei put the tofu into the kitchen and poured the sauerkraut into the bowl she brought.
"This is the taste. I can't pickle it to make this taste. My children like to eat it." Ma Chunmei said.
"I like to eat it. I'll come back for more when it's all gone. I've got plenty."
Ma Chunmei took the sauerkraut and didn't leave in a hurry.
"Meizi, I heard that your Zhiyi got into college?"
"Hey, how did you know? My Zhiyi got into university with pretty good grades. She was the top student in the provincial capital where they went to the countryside. She's going to Beijing to attend university in March."
Jiang Mei spoke casually, as if she was just chatting casually, but she had said everything she needed to say.
"That's amazing! And she got first place. Zhiyi is really smart. She will be a college student in the future. You will be so lucky in the future." Ma Chunmei's words were full of envy.
"As a mother, I will definitely support my children if they are capable. It's my daughter Zhiyi who has worked hard to improve herself. She did well in the exam and the leaders there even gave her a reward." Jiang Mei couldn't help but say it out loud.
"That's great! If my kid could become a college student in the future, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Ma Chunmei's youngest son is two years younger than Xu Sheng and is less than fifteen years old this year.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I think your Chunlai loves reading. He will probably become a college student in the future."
"Meizi, why are you packing up now?"
"My Zhiyi lives in the countryside. Lao Xu and I will go to see him and meet his relatives." Jiang Mei said.
Ma Chunmei felt it was a bit strange. Even if it was an engagement or a meeting between the two families, it should be the man who came to the woman's side.
Jiang Mei saw Ma Chunmei's confusion and said, "That Pei boy grew up with his grandmother. He's a bit older now, so it's rare for him to come back and forth."
At this point, Ma Chunmei automatically understood that without parents, the two of them would depend on each other.
Would Jiang Mei be willing to marry her precious daughter to such a family, far away in the countryside?
Ma Chunmei didn't believe it.
"Pei's grades are pretty good, and he got in. He's in the same school as my Zhiyi."
No wonder.
The Xu family has really good vision.
It would have been fine if I had found a son-in-law from the countryside, but he took the college entrance examination and has now become a college student.
That's different.
"Oh, that's amazing. Your Zhiyi has good vision. This is equivalent to having two college students in your family." Ma Chunmei joked.
"Haha, it's not done yet. It's not mine yet." Jiang Mei laughed.
"It's just a matter of time."
Ma Chunmei went back with a bowl of pickled vegetables. She had a lot to say and she had to tell it to the other women in the courtyard.
Let others envy you.
Let those who secretly accepted the Spring Festival couplets written by others and looked down on the person Xu Zhiyi was with see this.
While you were still gossiping about others, Xu Zhiyi and her boyfriend had already become college students.
I still have to go to Beijing to go to university.
No matter what people in the compound were talking about, Jiang Mei was just thinking about whether Xu Hai could buy a ticket for tomorrow.
She wanted to go there early because she wouldn't be able to spend much time with her daughter before she had to go to college.
Fortunately, everything went well for Xu Hai.
I have asked for leave and bought the train ticket.
The journey was long and unbearable, and even if Xu Hai wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, it was difficult to get one.
Although it was a seat ticket, Jiang Mei said that it was not a big deal and it was good to have a seat.
