Chapter 34
Everyone in the village felt that Ningning, such a good man, if he couldn’t hold on, would cause trouble by going outside.
Other families were adamant about not letting their educated youth take the exam or allowing them to return to the city. Once they went back, they would definitely abandon their families, leaving behind their husbands and children in the village.
Ningning brought his household register and went directly to the village chief to get a certificate. In order to expedite the process, he even brought some snacks.
The village chief looked at Ningning, not sure if this child was clever or foolish.
Others kept their women at home, not allowing them to leave but he… “Are you really asking for the certificate? If you disagree, I won’t give Su Fei one, after all, we’re distant relatives.”
Ningning knew in his heart that the village chief meant well, afraid that Su Fei would eventually abandon him.
But he still chose to trust Su Fei. “Village chief, it’s okay. I trust Su Fei, and after she finishes the exam, we plan to get married. Su Fei said she wants to give it a try. If she doesn’t try, she’s afraid she’ll regret it later.”
“Alright, for your sake, I’ll give Su Fei the certificate. If Su Fei does anything to hurt you, you must tell me. She’s still in our village, and I have the law on my side.” The village chief said as she prepared the certificate and stamped it with the village secretary’s seal.
Ningning put away the certificate and thanked the village chief. “Thank you, village chief. We plan to get married in the twelfth lunar month, and we’ll invite you to our wedding banquet.”
“Haha, I’ll definitely be there.” The village chief laughed heartily and sent Ningning off.
After Ningning left the village chief’s house, all the information spread throughout the village through gossip.
Everyone thought the title of the world’s number one fool had been claimed.
“This person, can’t he just live a good life? He start acting recklessly after just a few days of happiness. Look, Ningning won’t have a good life in the future.”
“Just as I said, this is what happens when you don’t follow the crowd and don’t consider how others do things. Not listening to the advice of the elders will lead to losses!”
Regardless of what these people said, whether they were gloating or not, it couldn’t stop the determination of these educated youth to study hard and change their own destinies.
Su Fei had already read the exam books many times.
So she exchanged some books with Liang Hao, making the other educated youth realize that their own books were not complete, while Liang Hao’s borrowed books were comprehensive.
They envied and resented Liang Hao, but they had no choice but to beg Liang Hao to borrow or even copy the books themselves.
Liang Hao was not stupid. She knew that these people were her competitors. So she didn’t bring back these important books for practice.
Regardless of the wishes of others, the pace of the times would not stop because of personal factors. Soon it would be time for the first national college entrance examination held in winter.
On this day, recorded in history, thousands of candidates were not as good as them. The gate of the college entrance examination opened a new chapter in their lives. Some people can ascended to the top in this exam, changing the trajectory of their lives forever.
In Dadong Commune, there weren’t too many people going to take the exam, but there weren’t too few either, totaling nearly ten people. In addition to seven educated youth, there were also three local students who happened to be of the right age, also high school students.
Including Su Fei, ten people were directly taken to the county seat by Village Chief Ning to take the exam.
“Go ahead, do your best. Today is the exam day. Tomorrow is the last day for us to meet for a while.” Village Chief Ning looked at the many people she had brought here, encouraged them, and drove her little donkey cart to wait outside.
“Alright, Village Chief, find a place to wait, don’t stay outside. It’s too cold out here, find a place to rest.” Su Fei told the village chief as they were about to enter the exam hall.
“You do your best. I’ll chat with these people outside for a while. Time will pass quickly.” Village Chief Ning watched as these people were swept away by the crowds.
She hoped they would get into university, but she was also worried. It was really a dilemma.
The two days of exams passed by very quickly. Liang Hao and Su Fei were radiant when they came out. Liang Hao didn’t take this exam seriously at all, because for her, whether she passed or not didn’t matter.
Ever since Liang Hao knew that the college entrance exam was going to be restored, she became even more convinced of Su Fei. Now that the policies were more lenient, she could do what she wanted, wasn’t it just about making money?
For her, nothing was more important than money.
As for Su Fei, she didn’t care at all about this exam. She felt confident in her knowledge, and after years of experience with the college entrance exam, she had done far more practice questions than this group, and the content of this exam was relatively easy.
“Get ready, help me prepare for the wedding. We plan to get married right away.” Su Fei said to Liang Hao while tidying up. She didn’t take this exam seriously at all.
“Sure thing, boss! I promise to complete the task for you clearly and cleanly.” Liang Hao and Su Fei walked arm in arm.
The two of them were in a completely different state from the surrounding students, who took this exam too seriously. When everyone came out, they started whispering and discussing the answers.
Some were happy when they got the answers right, while those who got the wrong answers felt like they were going to collapse.
“Hurry up, today Ningning will pick me up, let’s go together to the guesthouse and have braised pork. I’ve been craving their braised pork.” Su Fei said, rubbing her lips to prevent herself from drooling.
The braised pork in the guesthouse was really delicious, it left a lingering taste.
Liang Hao laughed and said, “Today we’re taking advantage of Ningning again. Let’s go, I also want to eat meat.”
The two of them squeezed through the crowd and walked out the door, feeling like they hadn’t moved at all, just going with the flow of people.
Outside, Su Fei immediately spotted Ningning, tall and slender like a young poplar tree. She quickly ran over to Ningning’s side, and the two of them exchanged secretive glances, making Liang Hao feel a sourness in her teeth.
“Let’s go, let’s have a meal. Let the village chief know.” Su Fei looked at Liang Hao’s sour expression and gave her a disdainful glance.
Ningning nodded, then gently said, “It’s okay, I already told the village chief. Let’s go have a meal first.”
The three of them swaggered off to have a meal, and Ningning didn’t ask how they did in the exam, while Su Fei and Liang Hao didn’t mention it either. The three of them tacitly omitted the topic of the exam.
The people in the village hadn’t fully digested the topic of the exam yet when they were shocked by the news of Su Fei and Ningning’s upcoming wedding.
“…I heard they specifically invited the chef from the guesthouse to prepare the banquet? This really gives Ningning some face!”
“I heard they’re even going to take wedding photos? We’ve never heard of such a thing. City folks really have a lot of tricks.”
Although the people in the village talked a lot, not a single person refused to help. Some even came specifically to help every day, just to ensure Su Fei and Ningning’s family had a good meal. Their family’s staff meals were excellent.
Preparing for the wedding banquet had to be done in advance, both in terms of ingredients and tables and chairs, which had to be borrowed from the villagers in advance.
In order to get married before the New Year, because they couldn’t get married in the first month of the lunar calendar. So time was a bit tight, but money could make the ghost push the grindstone.
Su Fei basically spent a lot of money to make sure everything was arranged exceptionally well.
Soon, the day of Su Fei and Ningning’s official wedding was approaching, and after half a month, the results of the first college entrance exam after the reform would be released.
