I became beautiful by eating melons

Aunt Zhou was delighted when she saw Zhou Ping, but her face darkened again when she saw Wei Jie behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

Wei Jie was very outgoing and moved a bench and asked Zhou Ping to sit down.

She smiled and said, "I harvested the land last night. I want to come and sit with mom during the slack season."

Zhou Nian snorted coldly.

Zhou Liang said impatiently: "Don't come to me for no reason. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Zhou Ping glared at Zhou Liang and said unhappily, "How can you talk to your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Liang sneered, "I only speak human words to people. If you don't like it, just leave."

"You!" Zhou Ping slammed the table and wanted to scold him.

Wei Jie quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't be angry."

Zhou Ping held back his anger and said impatiently, "Hurry up and tell me your story."

Wei Jie also stopped chatting and got straight to the point, saying to Zhou Nian: "My nephew from my mother's family wants to take the college entrance examination, and he wants to borrow Xiao Nian's high school textbooks."

Zhou Liang got angry when he heard this.

"You're really out of breath when you say you're fat. How dare you come to borrow a book!"

"Xiao Nian is not taking the college entrance examination, so it's a waste to keep the book. What's wrong with lending it to my nephew?" Wei Jie sounded aggrieved, but spoke with confidence.

Zhou Ping looked at Zhou Nian and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Nian, just borrow a textbook."

Zhou Nian drank a mouthful of porridge, raised his eyes and said directly: "I won't lend it to you."

When she said this, Wei Jie became anxious. She asked unhappily, "Why don't you lend it to me?"

"You can lend my book to anyone." Zhou Nian looked at Wei Jie coldly, "But I won't lend it to you."

Seeing that Zhou Nian refused to agree to such a small matter, Zhou Ping felt deeply that Wei Jie was right. Zhou Nian was spoiled and too selfish.

"Xiao Nian, don't be so selfish." He said with a reproachful tone.

Wei Jie also said dissatisfiedly: "You are not taking the college entrance examination, so just put the book there..."

"Who said I won't take the college entrance examination?" Zhou Nian put down the bowl and said coldly, "I also want to take the college entrance examination, and I need that book."

"What the hell are you doing? You're almost an old maid, but you don't want to get married, and you're still thinking about the college entrance exam." Wei Jie stood up angrily: "You're really ugly but you want beauty!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Liang slapped Wei Jie.

Wei Jie covered her face in disbelief. Seeing Zhou Liang's ferocious expression, she didn't dare to fight back. She pulled Zhou Ping and said aggrievedly: "Your brother hit me!"

Zhou Ping slammed the table and stood up, angrily: "Apologize to your sister-in-law."

"roll!"

There was a loud shout and Aunt Zhou got angry.

She said coldly: "If Xiao Nian wants to go to college, I support her and will not tolerate anyone's gossip. Even if my daughter never gets married in this life, I will support her!"

The three words were spoken with great force.

Zhou Ping looked around. His sister continued to eat as usual, his brother glared at him as if he was a class enemy, and his mother's face turned red with anger.

He was speechless and couldn't utter a word.

Wei Jie wanted to say something, but Zhou Ping dragged her away roughly.

After the two of them left, the dinner table became unusually quiet.

Only Jiang Chen held the egg and coaxed Ye Rou, "Eat another one."

Ye Rou was really full and whispered, "I can't eat anymore."

Seeing their actions, Zhou Nian inexplicably felt much better.

Zhou Liang sat back, looked at Zhou Nian, and asked seriously: "Are you really going to take the college entrance examination?"

Zhou Nian was just speaking in anger, but when she looked at her second brother, her mind became more determined: "I want to take the college entrance examination."

Aunt Zhou said directly: "If you want to take the exam, go ahead. I'll ask Village Chief Jiang how to sign up later."

"Okay." Ye Rou certainly supported Zhou Nian to take the college entrance examination. This college entrance examination was very important.

She looked at Aunt Zhou and Zhou Liang and thought of her parents.

In her previous life, she had good grades and said she wanted to study astronomy. When her parents found out, they didn’t say this major had no future. Instead, they supported her decision, asked teachers of related majors, and took her to the planetarium...

Thinking of this, Ye Rou felt a little sad. She would never see her parents again, and no one would tolerate and support her like they did.

Jiang Chen looked at Ye Rou, and seeing her gloomy expression, his heart moved slightly.

After dinner, Jiang Chen and Zhou Liang went to town.

Zhou Nian rummaged through boxes and drawers looking for his high school books.

Aunt Zhou is going to ask Village Chief Jiang about the college entrance examination.

The autumn harvest was over and Ye Rou was bored. When she saw Aunt Zhou going out, she followed her.

The entrance to the village committee was as busy as a market. Aunt Zhou was startled: "Why are there so many people?"

The aunt who was listening nearby laughed and said, "They all came to ask about the college entrance examination."

Village Chief Jiang stepped on the table and shouted, "Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"

Everyone stopped and looked at Village Chief Jiang.

"Let's talk about the policies related to the college entrance examination." He said loudly: "The candidates for the resumed college entrance examination include workers and farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside and returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres and high school graduates!"

"When enrolling students, priority will be given to key colleges and universities. Medical colleges, normal colleges and agricultural colleges will recruit barefoot doctors, private teachers and agricultural science and technology activists respectively. After graduation, students will be assigned jobs by the state!"

"The exam will be held on December 12 this year, and will be divided into arts and science. Arts will test politics, Chinese, mathematics, history, and geography, while science will test politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Those who apply for foreign language majors will also need to take a foreign language test."

After Village Chief Jiang finished speaking, his throat and face turned red from shouting.

Aunt Zhou only heard the words "the state assigned a job" and these six words played over and over in her head.

Ye Rou was just here to join in the fun, as this was a witness to a major historical event.

In her era, the college entrance examination was already the norm, and she did not really realize the importance of this policy.

It was not until she saw the ragged educated youth cheering and shouting when they heard that they could also take the exam, and then burst into tears after being excited.

When he saw people with children at home, his face flushed with excitement and he ran back home so quickly that even his shoes flew off.

Only after seeing all this with her own eyes did she realize how important the resumption of the college entrance examination was to these educated youth, those who wanted to leave this world.

She was lost in thought when she heard Aunt Zhou say with a smile, "Xiao Rou, you should also take the exam."

"Ah?" Ye Rou was stunned for a moment.

Aunt Zhou said, "You work in the clinic, so you can apply to a medical university. I think with your ability, you will be able to work in a big hospital and become a professional doctor in the future."

Ye Rou touched her chin, her heart slightly moved.

In the evening, Ye Rou left part of the prepared meal for Aunt Zhou and Zhou Nian, put the rest in a lunch box, and waited for Jiang Chen to come back before delivering the meal to the cowshed.

When Zhou Liang came back, he smelled the aroma of food all over the yard. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants."

Ye Rou heard the noise and ran out, only to see Jiang Chen holding two large piles of books.

"What are these?" Ye Rou looked curiously, and saw that they were all high school textbooks. She realized what was going on and opened her eyes wide: "For me?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Zhou Liang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, the garbage collection area is packed with people, all going to pick up textbooks. Brother Jiang and I went in and looked around but didn't find even a piece of paper."

"Luckily Meng Guan was smart and prepared an extra set." Zhou Liang patted the dirt off his body and said with a sympathetic heart, "I've learned a lot today. The garbage dump is busier than the vegetable market."

Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen. He was covered in dirt and smelled bad.

She asked puzzledly: "Why did you think of looking for a book?"

"If you also want to take the exam, prepare early." Jiang Chen put the book down and said calmly.

Ye Rou was stunned.

She looked at Jiang Chen for a while, then she reacted and threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms with a smile, saying softly, "Thank you."

Originally, she envied Zhou Nian for having the encouragement and support from Aunt Zhou and Zhou Liang.

Now, she has it too.
