Chapter 1516 Exam
There are many people who envy them, but it’s just envy. Who asked them not to persist and be swayed by the small benefits in front of them?
A person’s fate actually lies in the details; it’s just a matter of whether you can seize them.
Shuxin and Shu Wen both already have partners. Li Yunqiang bought houses from Xu Chunshan and Shen Youjun, and this year he is settling down his two sons.
The family was eating lunch, and the dining table was particularly silent.
Li Yunqiang’s mood was also bad. The first brother and second brother’s children were successful, while his four sons stayed in the countryside.
He had thought more than once whether he married the wrong woman.
After the meal, Li Yunqiang called his son, "Shuxin, you need to tidy up quickly. The twentieth of October (lunar calendar) will be your big day."
"Got it, Dad."
"Shu Wen, you also need to tidy up. You’ll marry your wife in December."
The two of them nodded. Now, getting married doesn’t excite them.
After the two left, Yue Lanfeng tidied up the table.
"Both of them are in a bad mood."
"Who can be blamed for that? They are the ones who are lazy and unwilling. It’s not that I haven’t tried to manage them." Li Yunqiang’s temper was also running high.
"Alright, it’s already settled. What’s the point of being angry?"
Li Yunqiang leaned against the kang, "Lanfeng. You must educate our sons well." He didn’t have the guts to say that marrying the wrong wife was a man’s pride.
Yue Lanfeng nodded but didn’t care much. She was much younger than Li Yunqiang. In the future, if their sons have the ability to leave, what would she do?
However, if he’s motivated, she wouldn’t stop him. Actually, thinking now, it would have been better to have a daughter, then she’d be nearby.
Over in the Capital, Jiang Xinyu also advised Chaoyang and Guodong.
"Don’t push yourselves too hard, especially Chaoyang. You are already much better than many."
"Teacher Jiang, how can I not be anxious? What if I don’t pass the exam?" He absolutely believed in his wife, brother-in-law, and Jianbin.
"Even if you don’t pass, it’s okay. You can take care of the kids and earn money, isn’t that also good?"
Chaoyang was stunned upon hearing this.
Jiang Xinyu realized something was wrong. This guy better not start having other thoughts.
"Chaoyang, you must do your best so you won’t regret it in the future, but don’t be too attached to whether you succeed or not. As long as you know you did your best, there will be no regrets when you are older."
Chaoyang nodded. He understood the best; some things can’t be forced into success. Let things take their course.
Jiang Xinyu again repeated the post-exam precautions.
This time she felt much steadier. She calmed down because all the children were listening and relaxing, but ironically she was the one who couldn’t let go.
Ever since Feifei knew the exam location and got her exam number, she relaxed. She made slight adjustments to her routine and used the evenings to play the piano, entertaining the family.
Her piano skills were greatly praised by Han Xiangjun.

In Han Xiangjun’s eyes, his Little Princess was someone who could do anything.
Jianbin and Shi Jing were similar. They studied only half a day in the morning and two hours in the evening. They spent the rest of the time exercising.
They also took some younger ones out to watch movies. Anyway, they were quite carefree.
Wei Kaiyun was terribly anxious. He had never been to school. His kids were taking exams, and although agitated, it wasn’t visible—it only came out when the couple lay in bed, muttering.
"You must have faith in the children. Feifei, Shi Jing, Jianbin will stay in the Capital; you worry too much. They have good foundations and mindsets. If they don’t pass, there probably won’t be many who can."
Wei Kaiyun knew his wife was right, but it couldn’t calm his nerves. He was still as anxious.
The day before the exam, Wang Menglin and the others five went to the place Jin Erlin arranged, which was close to the exam site.
Fearing something special might happen tomorrow, they had already come to familiarize themselves when they collected their exam numbers earlier.
The November weather was indeed cold, but the five wore new cotton clothes, shoes, and hats. Before sleeping, they checked their supplies again, doing mutual checks, fearing anything might be missed.
The exam lasted two days, and after the last subject ended, Red Army was so thrilled he didn’t know what to do, but had to control his expression so others wouldn’t notice.
Because all the candidates at the test site appeared listless, like frost-stricken eggplants, and some were utterly collapsing.
The five were not in the same exam room, he claimed to be alone.
They met at the entrance.
Red Army looked at his relatives’ expressions and knew everyone performed very well.
The five hurried back to the residence from the past two days.
Inside the room, they could finally relax.
"Second brother, we’ve done about seventy percent of these questions; the rest weren’t hard either."
Everyone nodded, hurriedly packing their things; they figured their family would be anxiously waiting.
Jin Erlin watched them leave in the car and didn’t dare to ask, thinking it was like this anyway. Over the past two days, he had seen many candidates looking like they had no will to live.
The five thanked Jin Erlin, and only then Red Army drove away.
The five returned home eagerly, filled with excitement they couldn’t share outside but wanted to tell their family.
"Let’s go back and compare answers, and tomorrow call Teacher Jiang. After asking about the answers, we’ll know roughly how we did."
Everyone agreed with Red Army’s plan.
"Also need to ask Teacher Jiang where we can apply?"
When the jeep reached the village, Li Yungui hurried home.
He saw all five children were in the room, so he didn’t disturb them; he helped his wife prepare food for the kids.
Pork and green onion dumplings, all pork, Qu Xiaoli left ten pounds of meat in the morning.
In such cold weather, the kids were going for exams, suffering who knows how?
They only verified answers for one subject, and dinner was ready.
"We can continue comparing answers after dinner; I think tonight Feifei and the others are doing the same."
Changhe guessed right. Chaoyang and his couple, Guodong the six of them, plus the Yang siblings were all at the Wei Family.
"Feifei, how do you feel you did?"
"Alright, should be above ninety percent."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yujie was anxious, "Feifei, did you bring your answers?"
Feifei handed several sheets to Yang Yujie.
Everyone crowded around. Each pulled out their answers, taking turns.
Before dinner, everyone had finished checking.
Yang Yujie laughed like a fool, running to Jiang Xinyu’s side, "Aunt Wei, I estimate I can score four hundred points."
