After finishing the meal, Zhao Jisheng set off for Yancheng.
He had been here long enough.
In the blink of an eye, July passed, and August was approaching.
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout Wujing Village.
Watching the educated youths discuss the college entrance examination enthusiastically, Cheng Tao felt a little dazed.
She had known that the college entrance examination would be resumed for a long time, but she had never made any preparations.
In other words, she had never thought of taking the college entrance examination.
This was because she was certain that Zhao Yunlin had the ability to provide her with a comfortable life.
She was still dreaming of being a wealthy housewife.
But now, looking at Zhao Yunlin, did she still have hope?
At this moment, Wang Hongxia also received the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and she rushed in.
"Yunlin, did you hear? The college entrance examination is resuming!"
Her son was a high school student. As long as he took the college entrance examination, he would definitely be able to pass.
Zhao Yunlin was not so optimistic.
He was a high school student, it was true, but he had graduated for several years.
He had been away from textbooks for so long that he had forgotten a lot of knowledge.
Even if he took the college entrance examination, he had no confidence.
Zhao Yunlin looked at Cheng Tao and asked, "Are we going to participate?"
Cheng Tao walked to the side and sat down. "If you want to go, you go. I'm not going anyway."
She had originally pinned her hopes on him to enjoy a comfortable life, but he actually wanted to take the college entrance examination!
Even if he went to university, so what?
After graduating, he would still be earning a meager salary of a few dozen yuan.
How could she be a wealthy housewife then?
Cheng Tao became more and more angry as she thought about it.
Wang Hongxia slapped Zhao Yunlin on the head. "Why are you asking her? You must participate, do you hear me!"
That was a university student!
Whose family had a university student, their ancestors' graves would emit green smoke.
"If you don't participate, then all these years I've spent supporting you to study will be in vain!"
Cheng Tao snorted, "Going to university costs money. Even with the subsidies at school, it's only a dozen yuan, which is not enough. Also, after graduation, the school will arrange work for you, and the salary will not be much higher than what he earns at the supply and marketing cooperative. It's a losing business no matter how you calculate it."
Wang Hongxia was stunned. She hadn't really calculated it.
Zhao Yunlin also nodded. "Mom, what Cheng Tao said makes sense."
Wang Hongxia's words were stuck in her throat, making her feel very aggrieved.
Cheng Tao couldn't be bothered to look at her expression and kicked Zhao Yunlin.
"Didn't you say last time that you were going to contact your friends? What did they say? How long has it been? Why haven't they come to find you yet?"
Zhao Yunlin said, "There's no news yet. They said they would take me with them when they were ready."
Cheng Tao was about to scold him for being useless when she heard a voice from outside: "Yunlin! About what we talked about last time, we found a truck. Are you going?"
Zhao Yunlin looked at the person who arrived and immediately replied, "Yes!"
...
The resumption of the college entrance examination did not surprise Cheng You much. Instead, it felt like a heavy stone had finally landed.
It was Duan Liping and Sun Xiaowan who excitedly ran over.
"Cheng You, the college entrance examination has really resumed!"
Cheng You hummed, "So you can't slack off during this time. You have to study harder."
Sun Xiaowan said, "Someone at the educated youth point wants to borrow study materials from us. Can we lend them?"
Cheng You said, "Lend them to copy. It's not impossible to lend them and get them back afterwards."
If they could also get into university, Cheng You would naturally be happy for them.
Those educated youths, like Sun Xiaowan, were all people who had left their homes and longed to return.
Not long after, Qin Jianzhong returned.
He had been away for over a month. Besides money, they also brought back a lot of things.
As soon as Qin Jianzhong landed, without even going home, he went straight to find Cheng You.
"Director Ying bought a thousand cans of fetal protection pills from you and they have all been sold. The Seven Sons Paste you gave him has also been completely sold out."
He handed Cheng You her share.
Cheng You didn't count them and put them away directly.
This was a sign of trust in Qin Jianzhong.
"Does Director Ying need more fetal protection pills?"
Qin Jianzhong said, "This batch of fetal protection pills was mainly for Director Ying to build good relationships and facilitate future cooperation. He should not need them later. However, I sold the Seven Sons Paste to a cosmetic company. They were very interested and left their contact information. We will cooperate in the future."
Cheng You nodded. "I have made an improved version of the fetal protection pills. Do you want it?"
She had specifically gone to the health center and consulted several obstetricians and gynecologists, only learning about habitual miscarriage.
She had stayed up several nights just flipping through books.
"Improved version?"
"Yes, I've made some improvements based on your wife's condition. Do you want to try it?"
Qin Jianzhong was shocked. "You asked me for my wife's medical records last time for this."
Cheng You nodded. "I went to the health center to ask. There are quite a few cases of habitual miscarriage. It's not just for your wife, is it? Don't look at me like that. I'm not a benevolent person who saves the world. I'm essentially doing it for money."
She was most afraid of being praised too highly, so she never built up any image for herself.
Qin Jianzhong looked serious, stood up, and bowed to Cheng You.
"Regardless, you helped me. You are a benefactor to our family."
Cheng You waved her hand and gave him two cans of the improved fetal protection pills.
The packaging was different, and the instructions for use were also on it.
"If you really want to thank me, ask your wife to help write a trial drug experience. But she cannot take any other medication during this period."
Qin Jianzhong agreed, "Don't worry."
He clutched the two cans of fetal protection pills. As he walked out, he bumped into Qi Chengyan, and they looked at each other.
His eyes were sharp, and his physique was robust. He looked like someone who had practiced martial arts.
When Qin Jianzhong was working at the Yancheng Transportation Team, he had heard of his name.
Such a capable person must be stifled in this small village.
However, there was no trace of ferocity in Qi Chengyan's eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had experienced a major blow.
"Captain Qi."
This address made Qi Chengyan pause.
Qin Jianzhong explained, "I used to work at the Yancheng Transportation Team and delivered supplies to the army. I've heard of your name."
Qi Chengyan nodded slightly. "I am no longer a captain."
Qin Jianzhong hesitated. "Before I left Yancheng, I occasionally heard the soldiers you led talking. They were all waiting for you to return."
Later, he could no longer bear the guilt in his heart, so he decided to leave Yancheng with Wang Fang and return to his hometown.
Qi Chengyan smiled calmly.
He had let it go.
His glory had already passed, and more outstanding people would emerge in the army.
Qin Jianzhong hesitated to speak and walked out dejectedly.
He suddenly thought of what Wang Fang had said: "I ruined a soldier."
He was making an innocent person bear the consequences of his own actions.
Qi Chengyan clearly belonged on the battlefield.
