Get something in the courtyard

Jia Zhang was very dissatisfied with the performance of the two maids and shouted at Qin Huairu: "Look at the children you taught."

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, I have thought of a way to get Banggeng back."

Hearing that Banggeng could be brought back, Jia Zhang was no longer angry and said excitedly, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly. My poor Banggeng has been eating sand in the northwest for many years. This time he can finally come back."

"Let Banggeng take the college entrance examination." Qin Huairu said very seriously: "If Banggeng is admitted to university, he can not only come back, but also become a high-ranking official after graduation."

Mrs. Jia Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "That's right. Our Banggeng has been destined to be a high-ranking official since he was a child. Since you have thought of it, write a letter to Banggeng and ask him to sign up for the college entrance examination. By the way, tell him that if he wants to take the exam, he should apply to Peking University. I went to that area once with Lao Jia, and the students there are all very capable."

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly. Although she thought that Banggeng would be able to get into college with his ability, she didn't think he could get into Peking University. You know, Banggeng worked in the countryside for several years and didn't read books in those years.

"I don't ask Banggeng to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, I just hope he can get into BJ and not go to school in another city."

Although Jia Zhang was unhappy that Qin Huairu looked down on Banggeng, she also felt that Banggeng's return to BJ was the most important thing, so she did not argue with Qin Huairu: "When you write to him, you must tell him to go back to BJ to go to school."

Qin Huairu nodded and agreed. Suddenly, she thought of buying tutoring books, and shouted to Xiaodang and Huaihua outside the door, "You two, come in."

"Mom, what are you calling us for?"

"You just said you wanted to buy books for the college entrance exam. What kind of books are they?"

"These are the books that cover the exam content. They are being snapped up like crazy outside. Many people lined up overnight to buy these books."

“The content of the exam will be determined from this.”

"Yes, otherwise no one would be able to solve the problem if he gave it to them since they haven't learned it before."

Jia Zhang said, "This is even easier. Just copy from the book. Everyone can do it."

Xiaodang and Huaihua rolled their eyes. If only the exam was that easy. They didn't dare to offend Jia Zhang, so they just pretended not to hear it.

Seeing that no one objected, Jia Zhang thought she was right, so she urged Qin Huairu: "What are you still standing there for? Go buy the book."

Xiaodang and Huaihua thought it was bought for the two of them, and they were overjoyed: "Just buy one for the two of us, and we can watch it together."

Jia Zhang said unhappily, "What does it have to do with you? This is for your brother. If he takes the college entrance examination, he can come back and become a high-ranking official."

The two of them immediately looked at Qin Huairu pitifully, hoping that she would say something for them.

What could Qin Huairu do? The two girls asked her for fifty yuan just now. Isn't this asking for her life? For the sake of the stick, she gritted her teeth and took it out, but if she asked him to take two, forget it.

"You are still young, don't be so anxious, wait until your brother is admitted to university, then you can read his books. Our family has no money, and mom can only scrape together the money for a tutoring book."

The two men's faces suddenly fell.

Qin Huairu didn't care about that. She took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Xiaodang: "Be obedient and buy your brother a tutoring book. Buy the best one. Don't delay your brother's college entrance exam."

Xiaodang took the money feeling aggrieved and left home with Xiao Huaihua.

Qin Huairu was relieved to see that her two daughters did not make trouble: "Mom, you sit at home, I will go find the uncle."

"Why are you looking for him? That old man can't do anything. I said I could get Sha Zhu to divorce Guo Xianghong, but it's been a long time and there's been no progress.

Not only did they not get a divorce, they couldn't even get some leftovers from Shazhu's house. That damn bastard Shazhu was always sending food to Wang Kun and his people. They didn't lack food. It pissed me off."

Qin Huairu was also angry about this matter, but she couldn't do anything about it. It's not that she didn't show up, it just didn't work. Guo Xianghong has the final say in Shazhu's family, so her tricks can't be used. "Banggeng's college entrance exam is such a big deal, the uncle should at least sponsor him. I'll go borrow some money from him and send it to Banggeng. Banggeng needs to study, and he can't do without nutrition."

"Then go ahead. Borrow some from him so we can have something good to eat. That bastard Shazhu cooks so much beef every day, but he doesn't even bother to send some to me..."

Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhang's nagging and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Xiaodang and Huaihua stood outside the courtyard, discussing something in whispers.

"Sister, this much money is enough to buy two sets of tutorial books. We can also read them secretly."

Xiao Dang shook his head: "Where can we go to read? There is not much space at home. Do you think our grandma and mom will let us read books in peace? Besides, without anyone to teach you, can you understand it?"

Huaihua opened her mouth and suddenly became distressed. She just thought about changing her fate by going to college, but she forgot that she was not cut out for studying.

"Then what should we do? Just give up? But if we give up, what will we do in the future? Our family's reputation is so bad that the street office will not recommend us for a job.

Why don’t we go find Teacher Ran? She is the kindest person, and she will definitely not refuse us as long as we talk about studying.”

Xiao Dang thought about it and felt that this was the only way. In the courtyard, the most knowledgeable person was Ran Qiuye. Xue'er and Doudou followed her every day, and they always had the best test scores in the class since they were young.

The two of them will definitely take part in this year's college entrance examination. If they can study with them, the chances of passing the exam will be greater.

The two stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for Ran Qiuye. When they saw Ran Qiuye, they ran over.

"Teacher Ran."

"Xiaodang and Huaihua, why are you here?"

"Teacher Ran, we have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Ran Qiuye's expression was easygoing, but she was alert in her heart. In recent years, when Qin Huairu's tricks didn't work, she would arrange for her two daughters to come forward.

Although the people in the courtyard were dissatisfied with the two widows of the Jia family, they would not implicate the two maids. After suffering a few losses, they saw through the Jia family's tricks.

"Teacher Ran, we want to take the college entrance examination, is that ok?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye let down his guard: "Of course. It's great that you are willing to learn."

"Then if we have something we don't know, can we ask you?"

"Okay, I'll tell you as long as I'm free."

"Thank you, Teacher Ran." Xiao Dang said with a smile: "Well, my mother also wants my brother to take the college entrance examination, and she gave us money to buy tutoring books. We don't know which tutoring books to use, nor do we know where to buy them. Can you help us?"

There were actually quite a few tutoring books at home, and Wang Kun bought several copies of the relevant books, some of which were bought for those people in the compound. He met many children from the compound in Li Yunsheng's compound, and some of those people, who were of the right age, would also participate.

"We just happen to have a few extra copies at home, would you like some?"

The two nodded and said, "Teacher Ran, we want two copies. I'll send one to my brother when I get home, and leave the other with you. When we're free, we'll go to your house and read the book."

No matter what, they were all Ran Qiuye's former students. As a teacher, she couldn't bear a grudge against her students. At the same time, she felt sorry for the two girls' experiences, so she agreed. (End of this chapter)
