Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

This New Year was not a peaceful one. Some were happy while others were sad.

1977 was the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. Is next year's college entrance examination far away? According to previous practice, it was held in July.

So the educated youth who were unsure of themselves continued to read books with the lights on.

Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying were very confident in their grades, so they did not continue studying like the others, but stayed at Zhang Xiuhua's house to tutor several children.

After the New Year, the college entrance examination results were about to be announced. Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying went to the county town early and stayed in a guesthouse, planning to wait for the results to be announced and go directly to the Ministry of Education to wait for the results.

At this time, the first to know the results is the Ministry of Education, and then it will be sent to the school, and then by mail.

The speed of postal delivery now is far from what it would be thirty years later. It is much slower. Moreover, Lijiatun is in the countryside, so the delivery speed will be even slower than in the city.

The college entrance examination is the only hope for these educated youth, and they look forward to it day and night.

Finally, that afternoon, Zhou Pandyi and Li Xiaoying returned to the village, and then the whole village was in an uproar.

Not everyone has the financial resources like Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying to stay in the county guesthouse. Most families are waiting for the results and notification from the school.

Zhou Pandi copied down the list of all the students from Li Jiatun who were admitted to universities.

When the villagers saw them coming back, they immediately told each other that they were coming back, and everyone rushed to her. Even the elderly who didn't have children taking the college entrance examination came out to watch the fun.

"Wang Tiegang scored 217 points, and Wang Xinghua scored 308 points."

"Li Jinbao scored 225 points."

The total score is 400 points, which is not a low score.

But when they heard the scores of the educated youth, everyone became upset.

"An Rou scored 352 points."

Wow, such a high score! The members chattered and talked about it, "These educated youths are really good at the exam. An Rou can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands, but she didn't expect such a high score."

Zhang Xiuhua leaned over and asked, "Zhou Zhiqing, how many points did you get?"

Zhou Pandi didn't look stern, but smiled and said, "I scored 340 points. Li Xiaoying scored 322 points."

The scores of other educated youth were not that high, most of them were between 200 and 300.

As for whether they can be admitted, it depends on the school they apply to. There is no notice at the entrance of the Education Department.

Li Xiaoying asked with a smile, "Do you know how many points the top scorer in the country got?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head.

"The national champion is 360 yuan."

Everyone looked at An Rou differently. The national top scorer scored 360 points, and An Rou scored 352 points, only eight points short. She was very likely to be the top scorer in Heilongjiang Province.

Some parents have come over to ask An Rou to help their children with their homework. Some educated youth have gone over to borrow handwriting.

After a while, a bunch of people gathered around An Rou and came forward to congratulate her.

Everyone else was laughing, but Miao Xiaohua's heart was bleeding.

Number one? This means she can apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University. This daughter-in-law is going to fly away. She turned her head to look for her son, but found that her son was holding his son and smiling foolishly. This idiot is so angry! How can there be such a stupid person in this world?

His wife is about to leave, but he can still smile! Isn't she afraid that An Rou will abandon him in the big city? He is not good-looking, lazy and cunning, without any advantages. An Rou is used to seeing talented men in the big city, how can she be interested in him!

Miao Xiaohua gave her son a big B bag and turned away.

Zhang Xiuhua talked to Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying and asked them which school they were applying to.

Zhou Pandi applied to the Central University of Finance and Economics, which was where she studied in her previous life. Li Xiaoying applied to Tsinghua University, a top university she had always dreamed of studying at since she was a child.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Zhou Pandi, "Why didn't you apply to Tsinghua University? Your grades should be fine, right?"

Zhou Pandi shook her head. "The major I applied for is not offered at Tsinghua University."

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that finance was her passion, and she later made a fortune.

Li Xiaoying felt it was a pity, "An Rou has such good grades, but she didn't come to the capital and insisted on going to Shanghai."

Zhou Pandi didn't think it was a pity. "Her father is still very powerful. She wants to go back and fight for the property. When she finishes her studies, maybe her father can still help her."

Having a degree does not necessarily mean you can succeed in your career. After all, connections are also very important. An Rou's father is the second in command at his workplace and has a bright future.

Zhang Xiuhua thought that An Rou might not just be trying to help, she wanted justice for herself. Why could her brother harm her and then take most of their father's property? She had to get it back.

After the results were announced, everyone received their admission letters one after another.

That day, Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying discussed going to school early and packing their luggage in the house. Aunt Wang came running over outside, "Zhou Zhiqing? Li Zhiqing?"

She ran into the house and almost bumped into Zhou Pandi. Fortunately, she grabbed the door frame in time to steady herself.

Aunt Wang grabbed Zhou Pandi's hand and said, "Zhou Zhiqing, are you sure my daughter scored 308 points?"

Zhou Pandi nodded, "Yes. I copied it myself at the entrance of the Education Department. Li Xiaoying was also there, and we checked it three times. There is no problem."

Aunt Wang stamped her feet anxiously, "But my Xinghua hasn't received the notice yet, what's going on?"

Li Xiaoying came out and asked, "Which university did your daughter apply to? She may have been transferred."

Aunt Wang shook her head, "No. She applied to the Jiangxi Polytechnic University. The girl from the next village only scored 300 points and applied to the same university. There is no reason why she received an admission letter but my daughter did not."

Zhang Xiuhua heard the noise and came out to watch the fun. She asked casually, "Did your son receive the notice?"

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "My son Tiegang was admitted to a technical college in Heilongjiang Province."

Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Xiuhua guessed what was going on. She pulled Aunt Wang inside to talk, "You don't have to confirm it again. Your daughter's grades must have been taken away by someone else!"

Impersonation is not uncommon in this era. Especially since Wang Xinghua is a fresh graduate, she has a higher chance of getting into college than others. Facts have also proved that her grades are indeed very good.

Aunt Wang's face turned pale and she was shaking with anger. She clenched her teeth and tried not to lose her temper. "God damn it! Who is so wicked! How could they steal my Xinghua's grades?"

Zhang Xiuhua reminded her, "This person must be very high-ranking. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. Aunt Wang's anger was stuck in her throat. "How can this be! My family is a poor peasant family! We live a clean life. These people... are so wicked!"

She kept cursing these people over and over again, calling them good-for-nothings. When she got tired of it, she turned around and ran out of Zhang's house, and hurried back to her own home.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying, and they smiled bitterly, "This is not easy to do."

The two of them were just educated youth and did not have the ability to bring down such a high-ranking official.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "You two are going to school. I'll give you the money. And the crusher, I don't think you can take it with you, give it to me and I'll pay you."

The three of them sat down to count the money. The crusher had been used for a year, so the two did not ask for the original price, but gave her a 20% discount.

After settling the bill, she gave Zhou Pandi 336 yuan and Li Xiaoying 187 yuan.

Zhou Pandi only charged 300 yuan, and Li Xiaoying only 150 yuan. "It's all thanks to you that we got the books last time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten such high scores."

Seeing that they insisted, Zhang Xiuhua stopped refusing.

After paying the bill, she planned to make them a sumptuous dinner, as the two of them would be leaving in a few days.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The three turned their heads and saw Xinghua had already reached the door. She knelt down in front of the three people and said, "Please teach me what to do. I want to go to college. I can't stand this."
