Li Xin leaned against the sofa and lamented, “What goes around comes around.
Since she doesn’t want to expose the matter, let’s pretend that we don’t know.
Once we expose the matter, I’m worried that she won’t return to this house.”
Yu Hai nodded. “We can only take it one step at a time. Perhaps she just wants to see what her biological family is like. Don’t think too much about it.”
…
He Mountain Village.
Xiao Sheng’s notice wasn’t seen even at the end of the admission period.
At this moment, the various enrollment offices had already begun to count the number of people accepted this time. There were 65 people applying from the He Mountain Village, and 18 people were successfully accepted in the end. 12 people got into universities, and six people got into secondary vocational colleges. They had the highest acceptance rate among all the villages in Jiangning county city.
Yu Bing even obtained the title of the top scholar in the entire city for the college entrance examination.
After Yu Bing confirmed that all the schools had completed their admission work, she looked for Xiao Sheng again and asked, “Are you sure you remembered the correct answer when you compared answers with me?” Xiao Sheng nodded affirmatively. “I’m sure.”
When Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng compared the answers, the difference in their scores was estimated to be less than 20 points. With Yu Bing’s score as a comparison, Xiao Sheng should have received a notice from a school.
Just as Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng were planning to go to the Education Bureau to check their grades, Wu Jin received a call for Xiao Sheng and called him to the village committee through the broadcast speaker.
Xiao Sheng was a little shocked after picking up the phone, but he didn’t show it on his face. He only said that it was the county city’s transport team. Then, he hurriedly left and returned to the food factory.
After Xiao Sheng entered Yu Bing’s office and closed the door, he looked at Yu Bing with sparkling eyes and went forward to say softly, “Zeng Li’s brother was looking for me just now.”
Yu Bing widened her eyes. Xiao Sheng continued, “He said that my acceptance letter was intercepted by the military. He hopes that I can enter the army directly. The army also has a military academy slot for soldiers to further their studies.”
Yu Bing was stunned for a moment. Then, she chuckled as she looked at Xiao Sheng. “As expected, outstanding people work for the country. What are your plans?”
Xiao Sheng smiled. He admired soldiers the most. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it when he filled in his choice, but considering the placement of his younger siblings, he didn’t choose a military school. However, the call just now gave him nothing to worry about. “I agree. Moreover, the military base is in the capital. I don’t know the exact location, but I know it’s a little remote.”
This was already an unexpected surprise for Yu Bing. There were many military bases in the country, so she felt lucky that Xiao Sheng and she happened to be in the same place. “When are you going to report?”
Xiao Sheng replied, “Ten days after the Lantern Festival, Commander Zeng said that he would solve the problem of Xiao Lin and Xiao Li’s schooling. There is a public primary school in Pingjiang County. The principal there is his former comrade. Xiao Lin and Xiao Li will return to the village during the winter and summer break. This solves the problem of their commute and meals.”
Yu Bing didn’t agree with him. No matter how much the principal took care of them, love was something outsiders couldn’t give. Moreover, the food in school wasn’t as good as that at home. If they wanted to spend money to eat meat dishes, it would be good enough if they could even find three pieces of meat in the food prepared by the canteen auntie. They might end up being malnourished.
Yu Bing analyzed these details with Xiao Sheng. “I’ll bring them to the capital to study. I originally planned to rent a house near the school and move out anyway, so the two of them can accompany me, but the problem of studying still needs to be solved by Commander Ceng.”
Schooling determined household registration, and household registration was related to property. Yu Bing wanted to buy a house, but unfortunately, it would be a few years before the transaction of houses was allowed. Therefore, without connections, schooling would be a huge problem.
Xiao Sheng was a little tempted when he heard Yu Bing’s suggestion. When he was with Yu Bing, he always felt as if he was riding on Yu Bing’s coattails. “They’re already 10 years old. Children from poor families learn to take care of themselves earlier, so they can also take good care of themselves in boarding school. I’ll leave them some allowance. Moreover, Zhou Min and Zhou Qun’s family are in the county city, so I’ll put some money in for them to send meat dishes to Xiao Lin and his sister once or twice a week.”
Yu Bing knew that Xiao Sheng didn’t want to trouble her, so she frowned and said, “The president has a good saying. A relationship without the aim to get married is sexual harassment.. Are you trying to sexually harass me?”
