The 70-Year Family Lets You Take Charge (Female Dominant)

Chapter 33

After the wheat harvest, when everyone had nothing to do, a command came from above: the city was recalling educated youth and reinstating the college entrance examination. All educated youth and students who met the criteria and age, as long as they obtained a certificate from the village chief, could participate in this urgent college entrance examination.

Basically, the educated youth in the village went crazy because this was the first time such a policy allowing them to return to their hometown was hinted at from above.

The educated youth who brought books quickly found the books that hadn’t been touched in the corners.

They began to frenzy over the books in the recycling station in the county town. The owner of the non-material recycling station also made a lot of money during this opportunity.

Su Fei was also one of the educated youth who fully met the criteria for this college entrance examination. Because she was a teacher, she basically didn’t miss any basic knowledge. Unlike most educated youth who, after years of labor and transformation, couldn’t do most words or math problems.

At the same time, because this matter caused turmoil and unrest in the entire village, many educated youth who were already married started to quarrel with their local wives or husbands.

The whole village was buzzing with rumors. Many villages experienced similar situations, and these educated youth abandoned their families, disregarded their husbands or wives, or even their own children.

They were really crazy. They didn’t want to stay in this poor and backward countryside anymore; they wanted to return to the city. All educated youth now had only one thought: they wanted to return to the city.

Some educated youth were directly recalled to the city due to their family background. But most of the exiled educated youth were basically the least valued children in their families.

So, most of the families of the educated youth sent letters, asking them not to go back because although the conditions in the city might be good, the living conditions were really poor, with more than ten people crowded in a two-room house.

So, these parents of the educated youth hoped they would stay in the countryside and not go back to the city. One more mouth to feed, and they still didn’t have a job.

Not to mention the living conditions.

These educated youth could only work hard to start studying and try to pass the exam on their own. As long as they took the college entrance examination and got into university, they could support themselves and become urban residents.

There was also a small part of the educated youth who had completely resigned themselves. They had no education, no knowledge, and had already started a family in the countryside, with a good relationship with their spouses.

So, they didn’t participate in this matter.

The villagers in Dadong Commune were all discussing the events that had happened to these educated youth. Families with educated youth were wary of these people. Those without educated youth just treated it as entertainment.

“Do you think Su Fei regrets it? She spent so much money building a new house. Now that the country allows these people to return to the city, judging by how Su Fei spends money, their family conditions must be poor…”

“People like Su Fei will definitely not get married. Think about it, who would want to marry a rural man? Su Fei will soon become a city person. How many men in the city can’t even marry her!”

“That’s right… Fortunately, we didn’t get involved in this matter. Think about it, we’re lucky!”

There will always be people who envy others. If you’re doing well, they envy you; if you’re doing worse than them, they mock you. So, people passed on a saying: if you don’t want to be envied, you’re mediocre!

No one dared to pass these words to Su Fei’s ears because Su Fei was a person who wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect. However, many people pretended to accidentally let Ningning hear it in front of him or behind his back.

Ningning couldn’t do anything to these people because they were all envious of the improving quality of life in his family. Now the house they lived in was the best in the village.

Not to mention that Su Fei had extra income, and the aroma of the food he cooked every day made these people extremely envious.

“The rumor mill” Ningning began to somewhat believe what they said. Sometimes, Ningning would also consider what he would do if he really didn’t marry Su Fei.

Ningning thought that if that day really came, he would definitely kill Su Fei and then commit suicide.

“I’m back. I’ve steamed the rice. Can you make another dish?” Su Fei was reading in the kitchen by the lamplight.

Seeing Ningning come back and speak so cleanly, Su Fei was truly the embodiment of the proverb “ignorance is bliss.”

She had been in a modern state of mind, not inquiring about other people’s affairs, but she shouldn’t assume others wouldn’t inquire about hers.

“Oh, reheat the leftovers, and I’ll make a cucumber salad.” Ningning quickly snapped out of it, started preparing dinner after washing up.

“Ningning, bring out your household register. We’ll go see the village chief tomorrow to get a certificate,” Su Fei said to Ningning while helping out and telling her about this matter.

She didn’t consider this matter important at all.

Ningning paused while chopping vegetables, then absentmindedly multitasked, cutting vegetables while asking Su Fei, “Why do you need the household register?”

“I’m going to register for the exam, prepare for this college entrance examination.” Su Fei said while peeling garlic.

Su Fei also wanted to seize this opportunity because for her, as a university student, this period of university students was extremely valuable.

Basically, every student wanted to be reborn in this era.

Su Fei felt she had to give it a try no matter what. If it didn’t work out, she would definitely regret it.

Ningning absentmindedly agreed. As he continued to cut vegetables, he accidentally cut his hand. Ningning looked at the cut on his hand without blinking an eye.

Seeing Ningning’s injured hand, Su Fei felt weak in the legs, her face turning pale. She felt that if this kind of wound was on her, there might not have been this reaction. But now, she felt dizzy seeing the blood on Ningning’s hand.

“Hurry, let’s bandage it up, let’s… let’s go to the hospital!! Quickly, quickly, let’s go to the hospital, you need to get a shot, you need a tetanus shot…” Su Fei said as she quickly supported Ningning, whose legs were weak, to go to the doctor.

“It’s okay, it’s just a small wound.” Ningning looked at Su Fei, who was scared like this, and felt much more relaxed in his heart.

“No, no, oh, you scared me! We must go and bandage it up.” Su Fei quickly pulled Ningning and ran outside.

After finally letting the barefoot doctor take a look, she felt that these two people were making a fuss. It was just a small cut with a little blood, but it make them scared.

“I really pity your man! Okay, go ahead, apply some gentian violet, and that’s it.” The barefoot doctor began to criticize these two people.

Really! Su Fei and Ningning together were about to blind her old eyes.

Su Fei slowly walked home with Ningning, “We should have a wedding. After I finish the exam, let’s have a wedding. It’s also a time when we’re not too busy.”

“Okay,” Ningning walked home with Su Fei, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky, feeling that his life was really good!

The next day, Ningning brought his household register and didn’t even let Su Fei go.

He directly went to the village chief to get a certificate. Other people in the village were shocked. Other families prevented their educated youth from getting a certificate, but Ningning went to get it himself.

Ningning didn’t care about the shocked eyes of these people. He just wanted to get the certificate done quickly, Su Fei finished the exam, and they could prepare for their wedding.
