Chapter 201: Get the wedding done as soon as possible
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
This is also the only time that the college entrance examination is scheduled in winter, and there are no restrictions on the registration conditions. Even if you are married and have a family, you can sign up to take the exam. It is also a day that countless aspiring young people have been waiting for. For a time, various reference books and materials were in short supply.
These are all in the city.
For the common people in the countryside, this news is not as important as whether the crops in the fields can be harvested well.
Of course, some people are sensitive enough to sniff out more signals.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for many years, and now the policy has finally been relaxed.
What does this show? It shows that the current policy system is not working and needs to be changed.
Does that mean...
Some things are hard to say directly, and most people don’t realize this. They work from sunrise to sunset and live a simple and frugal life.
At least in Ku Shui Village, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination did not bring any changes to this ancient village.
No one wants to take the college entrance examination because they don’t have the ability or IQ.
This cannot be forced.
As for Erhe's plan to take the college entrance examination, no one knew about it except her family.
If it doesn't work out, there's no need to tell anyone.
"You did the right thing. Let's keep a low profile. You should study hard. If you pass the exam, we'll give everyone a surprise. If you fail, we won't have to make sarcastic remarks about you." Aunt Nie was the first one to support her granddaughter taking the college entrance examination.
She is not educated, so she envies those educated people the most.
"I know."
Erhe had come to the county town to visit Aunt Nie, and had also wanted to visit the library to see if there were any new review materials. After all, with the announcement of the resumption of the Gaokao, it was only two months away, and everyone was scrambling to find review materials. As for Commander Nie's injury and Su Chuan's situation, since they had been resolved, Erhe hadn't mentioned them to Aunt Nie, to spare her any worries.
"I know you are a sensible person." Aunt Nie didn't know what she was thinking of. She looked at Erhe with her brows slightly furrowed.
"You want to take the college entrance examination, Xiao He didn't say anything?"
"He's quite supportive of me."
Aunt Nie looked thoughtful and looked at Erhe without saying a word.
"Grandma, just say whatever you want to say."
"Okay, since we're family, I'll be frank. If you want to take the exam, that's fine. If you pass, you can start college in the second half of the year. I heard the admission requirements have been relaxed this time, so anyone can apply regardless of whether they're married or have children. You definitely meet the requirements, but if you don't have children during the four years you'll have to study at the university, will the He family really agree?"
Erhe thought about it. It didn't say that married women couldn't apply for the exam, but she really didn't know whether she could get pregnant while in school.
"Take the test first, and then make other plans if you really get pregnant."
If worst comes to worst and I get pregnant, I'll take a year off from school to have the baby and then go back to school.
Aunt Nie said, "Okay, it's a matter of the future after all, so it's hard to say now. I'm just worrying too much."
"Grandma, don't say that. You care about me too."
Erhe doesn't mind talking about pregnancy as long as it's not a sarcastic remark.
After all, it is a fact that she and He Zheng have been married for so long but have no children.
But Erhe felt that it would be better to let everything take its course.
After leaving Aunt Nie's house, Erhe went to the library. The library, which used to be deserted, now didn't even have a place to sit. I heard that many people came here in the morning to queue up and wait for it to open, which shows how much everyone values this opportunity to change their destiny.
Erhe originally wanted to find some information, but after seeing so many people, she knew it was hopeless.
With so many people around, the information would have been snatched away long ago, so there would be no place for her.
Shrugging her shoulders, Erhe came out of the library, thinking that if it really didn't work out, she might as well go to the provincial capital, where there were more resources and Liang Wenwen and the others would be with her.
"No, I won't agree. You must marry my daughter first!"
Erhe felt that the voice was familiar. He looked towards the open space on the right side of the library and saw a few bushes and three people standing there.
Besides them, there were some other people watching the fun nearby.
Lu Zhou had a cold face, holding a stack of books in his hands. He looked at Du's mother speechlessly, then saw that there were scholars here. He didn't want to disturb everyone, so he ran away.
"Stop."
Du's mother kept pursuing him.
The two of them happened to pass by Erhe.
Du Ruoyun, who was at the end, trotted over and shouted, "Mom, Mom, don't do this."
"Silly girl, Mom is doing this for your own good. Now that the college entrance exam has been resumed, Lu Zhou will definitely be able to get into university with his grades. If we don't get married before he takes the college entrance exam, you won't have a chance when he goes to college. You're still young and don't understand. The country arranges jobs for college graduates, and they're all good, respectable jobs. If you don't get married now, you'll regret it later!"
Du's mother finished speaking in one breath, and tapped her daughter's forehead hard with a look of disappointment.
The silly girl had no idea of her good intentions. No matter how much Du Ruoyun had suffered in the past or how educated she was, it didn't matter. As long as she could find a good marriage, marry a good man who could make money, have a stable family, and have a child, her life for the rest of her life would be guaranteed.
She turned around to pull Lu Zhou, only to find that Lu Zhou was standing there without moving, still looking in the direction of her side.
When Du's mother turned her head and saw Erhe, she was stunned at first, and then she smiled like a flower.
"It's Erhe, are you coming to the library too?"
Erhe had already experienced how realistic Du's mother was. Just look at what she said to Du Ruoyun. Although it was a bit realistic, from a mother's perspective, it was not wrong to hope that her daughter would marry well.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Du's mother is somewhat too snobbish.
"Yeah." Erhe responded casually. She didn't plan to talk to Du's mother. Chen Yuqin had made a mistake before, and the Du family had asked for compensation. In fact, the matter was settled. What the Du family wanted to do now had nothing to do with her.
Erhe wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. He only interfered with a few things in the village. As for the rest...
Everyone has their own plans and their own way of living. It has nothing to do with her.
She was about to leave when Du's mother grabbed her and said, "Since you're here, why don't you be a witness? Lu Zhou and my Xiao Yun will get married sooner or later. I mean they should get married before Lu Zhou takes the college entrance exam. Erhe, you're a reasonable person. Tell me if I'm doing the right thing."
Erhe lowered her eyes to look at Du's mother's hand holding her arm, and lowered her brows.
Reasonable?
She was also given a high hat.
Erhe wanted to laugh, "Comrade Du, you can just go ahead and make your wishful thinking and ensure your daughter has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Don't bring me up. Whether it's the Du family or the Lu family, they have nothing to do with me."
