I made a dime from selling tangerines and you call me heartless?

"It's so irritating!"

As soon as she saw Jiang Che, Liu Yan couldn't help but complain.

"Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Che was puzzled.

"Have."

Liu Yan said angrily,

"Several surrounding villages all agreed, but Jiangjia Village disagreed. I even specifically told them that it was your idea, but they hung up on me and told us to do it ourselves and not to drag them down."

"I really didn't expect that Jiang Bin, after all he is a college student, could be so stubborn."

"You said me?"

Jiang Che had a strange expression.

"I didn't say it at first, but Jiang Bin didn't agree, so I said it. In the end, he just hung up on me."

Liu Yan said.

Jiang Che smiled bitterly.

"normal."

"My cousin has never obeyed me since he was a child, especially now. I already have conflicts with them, so it would be strange if they would agree."

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. You villages are enough."

"You can discuss it among yourselves from now on."

"Okay, if everything is ok, I'll go back first."

Jiang Che stood up and walked out.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Liu Yan also followed out.

……

Return to South City.

When I got home, it was almost nine o'clock.

Seeing that Chen Xi was reviewing, Jiang Che did not disturb him. He just gently told him to go to bed early and returned to his room.

Sitting in front of his newly bought computer, Jiang Che fell into deep thought, and began to think about his future plans. He didn't know when he fell asleep.

the next day.

Jiang's mother called Jiang Che early in the morning.

Jiang Che took her to the mall to buy clothes.

Jiang Che was somewhat puzzled.

"Mom, why did you suddenly think of buying clothes?"

"Xixi will take the college entrance examination soon. I heard someone say that if she wears a cheongsam, she will have a good start."

Jiang's mother was all smiles.

"I have to find a good start for Xixi."

Jiang Che thought about it and it made sense, so he took Jiang's mother to the mall and picked out a red cheongsam for her.

Of course Chen Xi didn’t know all this.

She is also very busy now, preparing for the college entrance examination and is extremely nervous.

Time passed quickly and it was the day of the college entrance examination.

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

Jiang Che and his mother got up early and prepared to send Chen Xi to the examination room.

Jiang's mother put on the red cheongsam and looked particularly energetic.

She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her collar carefully, with an expectant smile on her face.

"Mom, you look really good in this outfit."

Jiang Che praised with a smile.

"That's right, this is specially prepared for Xixi."

Mother Jiang raised her chin proudly.

Chen Xi came out of the room and was stunned when he saw Jiang's mother's dress.

"Mother Jiang, what are you doing..."

"A great victory!"

Mother Jiang patted Chen Xi's shoulder with a smile.

"Do well in the exam today. Mother Jiang will cheer for you."

Chen Xi was somewhat touched and nodded.
"Thank you, Mother Jiang."

The three of them went out together, got in the car, and headed towards the examination room.

There are already many candidates and parents on the streets, as well as traffic police on duty, trying their best to create a good environment for the candidates.

During these two days, all vehicles in South City are prohibited from honking their horns.

There was a tension in the air, mixed with a bit of anticipation.

The streets outside the examination center were temporarily blocked and vehicles had to take a detour, making it exceptionally quiet.

Parents stood on the roadside in twos and threes, some talking in low voices, and some silently looking in the direction of the examination room.

Occasionally, a few words of encouragement came.

"Come on!" "Don't be nervous!"

Mother Jiang held Chen Xi's hand and gently told her,
"Xixi, don't panic in the examination room. Take your time. Mom and your brother are waiting for you outside."

Chen Xi nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the entrance of the examination room. As time passed, the atmosphere outside the examination room became more and more solemn.

The parents were either standing or sitting, glancing towards the entrance of the examination hall from time to time.

Jiang Che took Jiang Che to find a shady place to sit down and wait quietly. Occasionally, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, but it couldn't blow away the anxiety in his heart.

The first exam ended at noon.

Candidates walked out of the examination room one after another with different expressions on their faces.

Some were relaxed, some were serious, and some were frowning as if they were recalling the test questions.

When Chen Xi walked out of the examination room, Jiang's mother immediately came to greet him.

"How is it? Is it difficult?"

"It's OK. The questions are not too difficult."

Chen Xi replied with a smile,

"There is one that I just saw yesterday."

"That's good. Let's go eat first. There's another show in the afternoon."

Jiang's mother took her hand and walked towards the roadside.

Just then, a burst of laughter came from not far away.

Jiang Che and the others turned around and were stunned. Chen Xi even burst out laughing.
"What are you doing?"

I saw Shi Jun and Mao Pian Hu walking towards this side.

They were both wearing cheongsams!

Shi Jun was tall and strong, and looked particularly funny in a dark blue cheongsam.

Mao Pianhu was a tall and thin man who wore a fancy pink cheongsam and walked in a timid manner.

As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.

"What the hell are these two guys doing?"

Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shi Jun walked up to Chen Xi and grinned.
"Xixi, how did you do on the exam?"

"Okay."

Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"This is something Meizi specially asked us to bring to you,"

Mao Pian tugged at her cheongsam.
"Victorious!"

"You guys are exaggerating..."

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly.

"What are you exaggerating about? This is our gift!"

Shi Jun patted his chest, and the buttons of his cheongsam almost broke.

With two people joining in, Jiang Che suggested that they simply not go back to eat, and simply find a restaurant nearby and have a simple lunch.

At the dinner table, Shi Jun and Mao Pianhu kept telling jokes, which made Chen Xi relax a lot.

Jiang's mother kept picking up food for Chen Xi.

"Eat more, you have an exam in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Mother Jiang."

Chen Xi took the dish with a smile.

The afternoon exam will begin soon.

Chen Xi walked into the examination room again, while Jiang's mother and Jiang Che continued to wait outside.

Shi Jun and Mao Pianhu did not leave either, but waited with them.

"Are you two really planning on wearing this forever?"

Jiang Che asked with a smile.

"of course!"

Maopianhu looked very proud.
"This is our lucky cheongsam!"

"Come on, I think you guys are just here to make fun of me."

Jiang Che smiled and shook his head.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere outside the examination room remained tense.

As the exams came to an end and more and more people left the exam room, Jiang's mother started to panic. She kept looking at her watch and muttering,

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

"Don't worry, it's coming soon."

Jiang Che comforted.

When Chen Xi finally came out, several people hurried to greet him.

"How is it, Miss Xixi?"

Mao Pianhu asked nervously.

"Okay."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but was still distressed.
"There is just one question that I don't quite understand."

Jiang's mother immediately stepped forward and gave her a big hug.

“It’s still hard work!”
