When Xu Nannan's children were full moon, Zhang Lei and his wife also came to visit, and the two families often had some contacts, so the couple also knew each other naturally.
Knowing that Xiao Man is a shy child, when Zhang Lei came to pick him up this time, he deliberately brought his wife with him.
Xiao Man got out of the car with a few educated youths, and saw Zhang Lei and his wife in military uniforms waiting beside the jeep.
The two of them were dressed in neat military uniforms, and with such a big jeep, they were very conspicuous in the station. Xiaoman saw them all at once, greeted the educated youth beside him, and ran over. "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law!"
Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I almost don't recognize her anymore. She's a big girl."
Xiaoman smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Your sister is worried about you, let us come and pick you up. You can live at home for the exam these few days, and take the exam with peace of mind. Your sister is still counting on taking the exam in the capital." Zhang Lei's wife said.
Xiaoman didn't know about Xu Nannan's arrangement. She looked back at the other educated youths. There were a few educated youths who were from the provincial capital, and they had made an appointment to stay with them for a few days.
When Zhang Lei heard this, he said, "Why go to someone else's house if you have a place to live? We have a place for you to live in. I promised your sister and your brother-in-law. If you don't go, I won't be ashamed to see them in the future."
Xiao Man nodded, "Then I'll go say hello to them."
After speaking, he hurried back to the educated youth team.
When the educated youths greeted Xiaoman earlier, they were surprised. They also know the details of each other. Yu Xiaoman has no parents, and his grandparents are also retired workers. I've never heard of someone who knows the provincial military region and can drive a jeep. The official is not small.
Seeing Xiaoman approaching, they all started typing. "Xiao Man, who is this from your family?"
Xiao Man said, "It's my brother-in-law's friend. Let me live in their house, and I won't be with you. See you when we wait for the exam."
Xiaoman didn't go into details, but everyone knew it after a guess. To be friends with such a person, he even came to pick him up in person. Brother-in-law Xiaonan reckoned that he was not an ordinary person.
I didn't expect Yu Xiaoman to hide so deeply. No wonder her sister was able to get the information before. This is the way.
Everyone thought of Chen Zhonghua again.
In order to marry Secretary Hao's daughter, Chen Zhonghua broke up with Yu Xiaoman. I heard that although I have entered the city now, my life is not very satisfactory.
After all, Chen Zhonghua's family is also an ordinary family. Even if he doesn't go to the countryside, he can at most be a worker in the city. How could it be any better
If they hadn't separated from Yu Xiaoman back then, both of them would definitely be married now.
Can my sister and brother-in-law help
But thinking of Xiaoman's personality, everyone is still glad that the two separated at the beginning. Then Chen Zhonghua was not worthy of Yu Xiaoman at all.
After greeting them, Xiaoman followed Zhang Lei and his wife and left.
Zhang Lei lives in the provincial military area. His position is not low, and the house he is allocated is also large, a three-bedroom house. There is a son and a daughter in the family, both are five or six years old.
In order for Xiaoman to prepare for the college entrance examination, he specially cleaned up the guest room so that Xiaoman could take the exam quietly. He also asked the two children not to make trouble at home.
"Auntie Xiaoman wants to take the university entrance exam, and where does she go?" Zhang Lei's daughter, Xiaomianmian, asked.
"Go to the capital. You have to work hard to get into the university in the future."
Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law taught.
Little Mianmian tilted her head to test the capital, so is brother Dabao also in the capital? If I go to the capital, won't I be able to play with Brother Dabao? "I'm going to Capital University too."
Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law was very happy, "My daughter is really ambitious."
Feeling that Xiaoman has set a good example for the children, Zhang Lei's wife is more attentive to Xiaoman. Not only did he cook the food himself, but he also drove Xiaoman to the exam.
Xiaoman felt embarrassed, how could he bother him to send him to the exam when he lived and boarded at his home.
"It's convenient to drive. It's a waste of time for you to go by yourself. It doesn't take two days. Entrance to university is a serious matter." Zhang Lei's wife said.
There were a lot of people in the college entrance examination this time, and the examination room was crowded with people, and it was full of people at a glance. Before reaching the school gate, the car will not be able to pass.
Zhang Lei's wife and Xiao Man got out of the car.
"There are so many people," Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law sighed, and encouraged Xiao Man, "Xiao Man, don't be nervous. You have good grades and you will definitely pass the exam. Go quickly."
Xiaoman took a breath, smiled at Zhang Lei's wife, and hurried towards the examination room.
"Doctor Zhou, what a coincidence." Just as Zhang Lei's wife was about to get in the car, a woman in her fifties came over, followed by a young man and woman.
Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law saw that she was an acquaintance, the head nurse of the military hospital. "Nurse Zhang, why are you here today?"
"Come here to send my daughter and her partner to take the exam. Although they both have jobs, I still hope they can go to college." The head nurse Zhang said with a smile, "By the way, I haven't introduced it to you yet. This is my daughter's partner, Chen China."
Chen Zhonghua kept looking at the direction Xiaoman left. A little absent-minded.
The head nurse Zhang called him a few words before he could react.
Head nurse Zhang was a little upset. If the other party hadn't agreed to come to the door, she would really look down on this. He said to Zhang Lei's wife, "It's not long since I returned to the city, and it's still the same as when I was in the country. By the way, Doctor Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Sending someone off for the exam. The younger sister of my lover's comrade-in-arms also just returned to the city."
Head nurse Zhang was surprised, "Is it the one surnamed Lin?" They are all in the provincial military region, so they naturally know that Zhang Lei has a good comrade-in-arms who often comes here.
"Yes." Zhang Lei's daughter-in-law nodded. She was thinking about her family and said with a smile, "You guys still have to take the exam. I'll go back first. The children at home also need to be taken care of."
After she left, Chen Zhonghua asked, "Auntie, who was that person just now?"
"The doctor of the military hospital, her man is the political commissar of the provincial military region."
Chen Zhonghua was very surprised, this position is not low. Xiaoman actually knew such a person.
"The surname you mentioned just now is Lin?"
"I don't know him either, but his position is no lower than that of Political Commissar Zhang. I didn't expect all his girls to go to the countryside." Head nurse Zhang was a little emotional. In order not to let her daughter go to the countryside, she did a lot of hard work. Unexpectedly, these big leaders would actually send their family members to the countryside. This is high awareness.
Head nurse Zhang sighed inwardly, Chen Zhonghua's heart exploded here, and he was out of his wits. Even entering the examination room, he was absent-minded.
In the examination room on the other side, Xiaoman found that these questions were very simple. After doing the questions, he felt familiar. He quickly finished the test paper and had time to check it.
After the exam at noon, Xiao Man went to have dinner with other people. Just after he walked out of the examination room, he saw Chen Zhonghua at the top of the stairs.
She just glanced at it and walked over pretending not to know her.
"Xiao Man." Chen Zhonghua chased after him. stand in front of her.
"Chen Zhonghua, what are you doing?" Xiao Man looked at him displeased. She felt like she didn't know this man at all now. I don't know if he has changed, or if he has always been like this before, but she didn't see it.
Chen Zhonghua sighed, "Xiao Man, can't you forgive me? Now we can go back to the city, we don't have to stay in the country anymore, can't you give me a chance?"
Xiaoman looked at him in disbelief, "Chen Zhonghua, how could you say such a thing, have you forgotten your wife in the country, she is still waiting for you to go back, if you still have a conscience, go back."
"I don't love her!" Chen Zhonghua said painfully.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Man suddenly shook his head, "At the beginning you were able to be with her because of your lofty ambitions, but now you say that you have no love and abandon her. Chen Zhonghua, in your heart, what is the most important thing at this time. You like this People, don't accompany you in love! Don't appear in front of me again, I look at you disgusting."
Seeing the disgust in Xiaoman's eyes, Chen Zhonghua couldn't help but said, "What about you, you don't deserve to be in love. Didn't you tell the truth when you were with me? You have something to do with your family, and you have nothing Said, did nothing."
After saying this, he felt much more comfortable in his heart. After seeing Xiaoman today, he felt a fire in his heart. He didn't expect that he sacrificed his marriage, and even after returning to the city, he found a partner who was not as good as Yu Xiaoman's family background .
He felt as if he had lost the most important thing.
When Xiaoman heard his words, he was almost stunned.
After she regained her composure, she looked at Chen Zhonghua with a blank expression on her face. She realized that she had really made a mistake just now. The most important thing in Chen Zhonghua's heart was his so-called lofty ambition. For this ambition, he has no bottom line.
"You are so pathetic." Xiaoman said coldly, and left with her schoolbag on her back.
After leaving, Xiaoman was still glad that she didn't give up on herself because of Chen Zhonghua. If you give up on yourself for such a person, you have to regret it now. I'm sorry for myself, and I'm sorry for the expectations my sister and grandma had for her.
In the next exam, Xiaoman became more serious. She carefully checked every exam several times, trying to get all the scores in her hand.
Just after the exam was over, Xu Nannan's phone call came to the military area. She didn't dare to call these few days, for fear of putting pressure on Xiaoman. These three days have been as tense as she herself was taking the college entrance examination.
Xu Nannan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Man say that there was no pressure, that the exam was easy, and that he had a good chance of going to the capital.
After hanging up the phone, I cleaned up Xiaoman's room.
After the exam, the educated youths had to go back to the countryside and wait for the notice.
This time the educated youths in Sunjiatun are very confident. Because the review time is long, I feel pretty good, and I feel that the exam is not so difficult this time. Getting into college shouldn't be difficult.
In January, notices came down one after another.
All the educated youths in Sunjiatun who took the college entrance examination passed, and the worst ones also passed the college entrance examination.
The day before the farewell, in the snow and ice, everyone gathered around the educated youth spot, eating roasted sweet potatoes and peanuts, talking excitedly about their respective ambitions.
"After graduation, I will go to the Ministry of National Defense to defend my family and the country." It was a passionate male educated youth who spoke.
"I want to be a doctor and save lives and heal the wounded." A female educated youth said passionately.
"I want to be a diplomat and not let imperialism take advantage of us." The articulate young man said.
"Let me tell you, don't look down on farmers. I'm going to do agricultural research so that our common people will never be short of food again." said the honest and honest little educated youth.
…
"How about you, Xiaoman?"
After everyone finished talking, Xiaoman smiled shyly, "I want to be a researcher and make inventions." Just like my sister said, the country is strong in science and technology. She will fight for the great scientific research cause all her life.
The young man who was going to do national defense smiled and raised the boiled water in his hand, "Come on, let's have a toast, and hope that our wishes will come true in the future. Let's meet again in ten years."
"Come on, cheers."
"cheers."
Everyone gathered together, it was freezing outside, and the young people in the house were full of enthusiasm.
The next day, everyone went their separate ways. Holding the notice of admission to Capital University, Xiaoman left Sunjiatun, where he had been staying for more than six years, with his bags on his back.
