Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Chapter 308: College Entrance Examination

Li Chunxiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, I’ll go all out towards Beijing too!"

Li Chunxiang was confident; she was a high school student and had never given up learning. She felt that she might not get into the best school, but she could certainly get into one.

Sun Aiguo, hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, said with half-confidence, "Great, we have two months, I’ll study like crazy!"

After consulting Jiang Cheng, the two felt more assured and returned home with the mindset of fighting to the death.

Jiang Cheng sent them off, but before she could warm her seat, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard.

Jian Yueer, Zhao Chengde, Sun Jiandong, and other night school classmates, along with Jiang Cheng’s worker friends from various factories, showed up at Jiang Cheng’s home.

Jiang Cheng felt like she was a cheerleader team, with everyone coming to her for encouragement and then rushing back with full force to prepare for the college entrance exam.

The exam hadn’t started yet, but most people knew Jiang Cheng was planning to go to Beijing.

Even the night school’s crash course class hadn’t printed flyers, but some people already knew about it.

Upon hearing the news, people flocked to the night school to sign up immediately!

Principal Wang was busy at the night school until midnight and finally finished.

After finishing, he only had one feeling: collecting enrollment fees was quite exhausting.

Jiang Cheng’s place saw one wave of visitors after another; when she and Shen Que finally sent off the last person, it was already past ten at night.

Standing at the courtyard gate, they exchanged smiles and closed the door.

Once the door was closed, Jiang Cheng jumped into Shen Que’s arms, held up by Shen Que’s hands.

"Director Shen, are you going to woo me? I could tutor you separately."

Jiang Cheng raised her eyebrows, and Shen Que held her tighter.

"What if I make a mistake? How will you punish me?"

Their hot breath burned against Jiang Cheng’s face, and she hooked her legs around Shen Que’s waist.

"I’ll have to think about that carefully..."

Their conversation grew more passionate, and even the moon hid among the clouds.

The night was long, yet sleepless.

When morning sunlight once again filled the small courtyard, Shen Que was washing bed sheets and their intimate clothing.

Jiang Cheng was inside organizing review materials to give to Li Chunxiang, Sun Aiguo, and others, while also preparing a set for the night school.

After both had finished prepping, they went next door for breakfast.

Jiang Cheng spent the whole day at the night school.

She worked with several teachers to prepare for the college entrance exam crash course.

In the evening, Shen Que came to pick up Jiang Cheng, and they rode their bicycles home slowly.

Jiang Cheng, holding onto Shen Que’s waist, said, "I want to visit Beijing..."

"Buying a house?"

"Hmm, not sure if I can buy one, but I’ll check. I’ll be spending some time in Beijing soon, and we need to look for schools for Shen Xing and Shen Yue, better to be prepared."

"I’ll handle the house inquiries; I have comrades there. I’ll scout first then go over."

Jiang Cheng agreed quickly, understanding that Shen Que’s comrades would be trustworthy.

Although she knew many people in Beijing, it’s good to give the man a chance to prove himself.

The sense of accomplishment should be ample.

"Great!"

Upon returning to their compound, they called a simple family meeting with Grandma Shen, Shen Xing, and Shen Yue.

Seated together, Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Que, who then looked at her, both waiting for the other to speak.

Grandma Shen, impatient, directly pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "You speak; what’s the point of him talking?"

Shen Que blinked: No need to be so blunt.

"Aunt says rightly, don’t worry about big brother; just say it, sister-in-law," said Shen Xing, while Shen Yue also nodded affirmatively, "Yes, sister-in-law has the final say!"

"Sister-in-law, I want to go, but what about Teacher Zhao? I love drawing with him." Shen Yue’s chubby face puffed up with worry. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Since the announcement of the exam, the entire city was enveloped in a learning atmosphere.

Kids running on the streets were told to play further away and quieter.

Meat, eggs, and milk became increasingly difficult to purchase as families bought them to nourish exam candidates.

Copy centers had daily queues of people wanting to photocopy books and worksheets.

Within less than a day, the night school’s crash course was fully enrolled, yet many continued waiting outside.

Principal Wang felt unable to leave so many people waiting, so each day, he had teachers hold a large public lesson with loudspeakers.

He tried ensuring everyone could hear remotely, maximizing his effort.

From the announcement of the exam to participating, only two months remained.

Everyone was racing against time.

All factories in S City reached a consensus: during this time, no one should disturb Jiang Cheng.

Additionally, they wanted to offer Jiang Cheng various benefits.

Unlike other families burning the midnight oil and losing weight, Jiang Cheng’s family gained weight.

Three days before the exam, Jiang Cheng and others toured the testing site, familiarizing themselves with the layout, the bathrooms, and meal/rest areas.

In S City, where Jiang Cheng was surrounded by acquaintances, these concerns were resolved effortlessly.

After examining the site, it was time to focus entirely on preparation.

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que were not particularly anxious, but the other three at home were tense.

So tense that they temporarily stopped heckling Shen Que.

Normally, Grandma Shen and the other two would take jabs at Shen Que, but recently, to ensure his good exam state, they treated him exceedingly gently.

Such gentleness made Shen Que wonder if something had possessed them.

Time marched on, and the day of the college entrance exam finally arrived.
