When the college entrance examination was reinstated in 1977, the chance was one in several hundred thousand.
The chances of being accepted into the ancient imperial examinations were probably one in several million.
“Yi’an, from now on, we’ll never be apart. The academy will give me a month’s leave, and we’ll move to the prefectural city. You can buy land and farm, and I’ll teach at the academy. We’ll raise three children together, and who knows, maybe we can even use the children’s influence to get you an imperial title or something, and you can be a feudal lord for a while.”
"Okay, we'll have a house full of children and grandchildren in the future.

"Thank you. I haven't congratulated you on the birth of your son yet. From now on, Jiang Qi, I'm counting on you."
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, my wife and I will support each other and live a good life."
Dr. Chu was also very fortunate to have met Jiang Qi, someone who cared for him and An Ran sincerely.
