Chapter 95 Educated Youth Who Abandoned His Wife and Child -26

After a few months of studying, winter passed and spring came.

Su Mingyue bit her pencil and said, “Brother Xiuyan, I’ve discovered that you know a lot of knowledge. You know the things in the books, and even the things not in the books.”

“My silly wife, you just realized that?” Shen Xiuyan’s eyes were filled with laughter. It had been a long time since his wife finally realized that he was a genius.

He had never hidden it from Mingyue.

Su Mingyue said, “You are so smart, but I’m so stupid. I’ve studied for a long time, but there are still many things I don’t know. You say that if it continues like this, will I really be able to get into university?”

Here it comes, here it comes, she’s finally starting to get tired of studying.

This is something that every learner will definitely experience.

Even for him, a child prodigy, he would lose confidence in himself when surrounded by other child prodigies.

Caring for children who are tired of studying starts with him.

He looked at the obviously low-spirited Su Mingyue and comforted her.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t get in this year. The National College Entrance Examination isn’t just held once a year. You can take it again next year. Think about it, it’s a good deal. As long as you get in, the job you’ll be assigned after graduation will pay 40 yuan a month, which is a lot compared to how long it would take you to earn that much now.”

Sure enough, the one who understands your emotions the most is always your bedmate. After hearing this, Su Mingyue was immediately filled with fighting spirit again.

“You’re right, 40 yuan a month. I can save up a year’s worth of work points with that money.”

So Su Mingyue no longer indulged in self-pity. She picked up her pen again and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge.

Shen Xiuyan looked at the Su Mingyue who was buried in her writing with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

His wife was not particularly smart, but she made up for it with her hard work. As for whether she could pass this university entrance exam, he was really not sure.

But in his memory, the scores of the first National College Entrance Examination were generally not very high, and 300 points could already get into Q University and B University.

Thinking about it this way, it didn’t seem to be a big problem.

On a sunny day, the warm sunlight shone on every corner of the earth, making people’s hearts feel warm.

As if to match the weather, the news of the resumption of the National College Entrance Examination also arrived as scheduled.

“It’s resumed, it’s resumed!” Li Zhiqing ran quickly to the field, waving the letter in his hand and shouting to the group of people working in the field.

Overly excited, he stumbled and fell on his face, but his excited expression was still hard to conceal.

The others looked at him with some bewilderment. What could make the usually steady Li Zhiqing so excited?

The person closest to him quickly helped Li Zhiqing up. “Slowly tell us, what has been resumed?”

Li Zhiqing took a deep breath and said, “Of course it’s the National College Entrance Examination!”

“What?!!” The person tightly gripped his arm, staring at him intently. “Are you telling the truth?”

Li Zhiqing’s smile was not false. He waved the letter in his hand and said, “I wouldn’t lie to you. The city has already received the news, and it will surely reach us soon.”

The huge good news filled his heart, and his expression changed unpredictably, looking like he was about to cry and laugh at the same time.

It was hard to imagine such a complex expression appearing on a person’s face, but it did.

After finally digesting the news, he hugged Li Zhiqing and burst into loud laughter.

“Great, it’s really great…”

Unable to express the joy in his heart, he hugged Li Zhiqing and kissed him hard.

This made Li Zhiqing a little disgusted.

Li Zhiqing wiped his face and scolded jokingly, “You’re something, quickly let go, I need to go back and review.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The man came to his senses and quickly grabbed Li Zhiqing and ran, “Hurry up, hurry up. I’ve already forgot all the content the teacher taught me these years, I have to quickly learn it again, or there won’t be enough time.”

After they left, the other educated youths in the wheat field also finally snapped out of their daze.

They threw down their hoes and hugged each other in twos and threes.

Some cried, some shouted, no matter what, they couldn’t hide their excitement.

Although the news had not yet been officially announced, the Brigade leader Su knew it was almost certain.

He glanced at Shen Xiuyan, not expecting that what he had said was true.

So his brother’s position was really not ordinary, to be able to know the news a year in advance.

But the Brigade leader Su couldn’t know that all of this was just Shen Xiuyan’s fabricated lies.

His brother was just a technician, no matter how he was promoted, he couldn’t have access to national policies.

The excited educated youths were not idle either. They took their tools and headed towards the Educated Youth Station.

If the news was true, the National College Entrance Examination was imminent.

They had to seize the remaining time and study hard. If they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know when they would be able to return home.

Watching the educated youths leaving the field in groups, the Brigade leader Su’s lips moved, but he ultimately didn’t call them back.

Well, the educated youths had been asking to return home for so long, and the opportunity had finally come. Work points were insignificant in front of these people.

As long as they could ensure they wouldn’t starve, learning was more important. He had no right to stop these eager-to-return people.

In a flash, a large group of educated youths all rushed away.

The only educated youth left in the field was Shen Xiuyan. He stood there, particularly conspicuous.

Someone shouted to him from afar, “Shen Xiuyan, why aren’t you going back?”

Shen Xiuyan shook his head. “I’ll finish today’s work first before going back.”

Seeing him say this, the person’s gaze turned slightly subtle as he looked towards the brigade leader. “It’s not that the brigade leader won’t let you go back, is it?”

Brigade Leader Su: “…”

For heaven’s sake, they were at least fifty meters apart. Could they not hear him if he spoke?!

Shen Xiuyan smiled. “How could that be? I just think that even if I’m in a hurry now, it won’t make a difference. I can spare this half-day.”

Don’t push me. It’s not like the kids can just come out and say it directly. If we don’t finish the work we’ve been doing for half a day, won’t all our previous efforts be in vain?

Although it’s just a Work Point, it’s still money. Don’t even think about taking advantage of it.

That person gave a thumbs up, “After all, you’re a married person, so you’re more reliable at getting things done than others.”

Shen Xiuyan smiled slightly, leaving behind only his work and reputation.

In the following days, those educated youth indeed never showed up again. They had already reached the level of “not going out the front door, not even stepping out the second door” at the Educated Youth Station.

Although books were hard to come by, they still managed to get a few.

Huddling together for warmth, teaching each other a little bit, they learned quite a lot.
