Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi divorced, and when people heard that Sun Yuhua had an abortion for the sake of the national exams, they couldn’t help but sigh.
However, such cases were not unique to Sun Yuhua; pregnant educated youth who wanted to return to the city had also aborted their children.
After all, in their eyes, they could have children again, but they might not get another chance like this, and they didn’t want to miss this great opportunity to return to the city.
Although there was no guarantee of admission, they had to try, otherwise, how could they be content?
In the Guangming Production Team, there was another female educated youth who had an abortion, but it was an agreent between her and her husband, and the Red Star Production Team had similar cases.
Therefore, most of the educated youth understood Sun Yuhua, but of course, the people in the production team did not understand. In their view, the Gao family were well-off and Gao Jiazhi was also quite good. Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua were both older and yet had chosen to abort the child, which made everyone say Sun Yuhua was heartless.
Wang Aihua sighed deeply upon hearing this, but Sun Yuhua never ca to her. After the divorce from Gao Jiazhi, Sun Yuhua did not plan to stay in the production team to listen to gossip, and furthermore, Gao Jiazhi had given all their savings to Sun Yuhua for the divorce.
How Sun Yuhua left the production team was no longer of concern to Xia Xiao, who was in confinent, busy caring for her child and studying at the sa ti; she had no energy to bother about too much.
anwhile, Gao Jiazhi was spending ti with Weilin, but Weilin was very sensible and knew her father was preparing for university exams, so she played with Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi, and stopped bothering Gao Jiazhi.
Ti passed slowly, and then winter, on December tenth, brought the first national exams in ten years.
Gao Jiaxing couldn’t make it back and sent a telegram to encourage Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao and her group went through months of intensive revision and finally entered the examination hall. Xia Xiao had not yet finished her confinent, but thankfully it was winter, so she wrapped herself tightly, and only removed her head scarf when she reached the examination hall.
Unexpectedly, outside the examination hall, Sun Yuhua and Wang Xueyong encountered each other. Sun Yuhua arrogantly tilted her chin at Xia Xiao giving her a cold shoulder, implying that she had returned to the city for the exams, and her family fully supported her divorce.
Seeing Sun Yuhua did not surprise Xia Xiao much, but she was surprised to see Wang Xueyong at the exams; however, thinking that Wang Xueyong and Gao Jiaxing were once classmates, she understood.
When Wang Xueyong saw Xia Xiao, his eyes lit up and he was about to speak, but Xia Xiao walked away, not wanting anything to do with Wang Xueyong anymore; Xia Xiao didn’t even bother to offer basic courtesy.
Nevertheless, Wang Xueyong was very happy, and coincidentally, he was seated right behind Xia Xiao in the sa classroom. Even before the test papers were distributed, he tried to strike up conversations with her.
Even during the exam, Xia Xiao continually felt a pair of eyes on her back, making it impossible to ignore him. Even without Shitou reminding her, Xia Xiao knew Wang Xueyong was watching her, which irritated her greatly.
But for Wang Xueyong, being so close he could sll a scent from Xia Xiao, his thoughts wandered, often staring at Xia Xiao’s back, losing himself in endless thoughts.
"Why are you bothering with him? Write your paper quickly," Shitou reminded Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao had to force herself to ignore wang Xueyong and hurried to finish her paper, eager to leave as soon as she wasn’t willing to stay until the end of the exams.
This ti, the exam felt easy for Xia Xiao, confident and relaxed.
Her self-study books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry were indeed very useful; many of the question types were covered in them, so once Xia Xiao finished her paper, she submitted it imdiately, using only half the allotted ti.
Her early submission naturally drew attention from everyone in the examination hall, even the invigilating teacher took a couple of extra looks at her.
So were astonished, while others were disdainful, thinking that leaving so early surely ant a poor performance.
However, at that mont, more examinees were focused on their own papers, not distracted by others.
Once Xia Xiao left, Wang Xueyong also focused on his paper, although he tried to appear relaxed, he found himself stuck by the questions.
After leaving the examination hall, Xia Xiao thought about how uncomfortable Wang Xueyong made her feel and considered ssing with him in the "space," but then decided against it, seeing no need to bother with such a person.
And right after the exam, Xia Xiao felt her breasts were engorged and quickly headed ho, where her baby was waiting to be fed.
After the subject exams, everyone awaited the results.
Yang Xuehua also looked content and asked Xia Xiao, "How did it go?"
"Very well," Xia Xiao replied with a smile.
On the day the results were released, many from the Guangming Production Team achieved good scores, including Xia Xiao, Yang Xuehua, Xia Jing, Yan Hao, Wang Aihua, Fang Yuejin, Gao Jiazhi, Yao Wangchun, and Xu i, among others, all eting the university admission score line.
Of course, there were many who didn’t pass, including Dong ihua and Sun Yuhua.
Gao Jiazhi scored well, not to the level of S University, but enough to attend any university, which left Sun Yuhua feeling subtly uneasy and quite upset.
Gao Jiazhi was going to university, but she, being divorced, might just have to stay in the production team.
Seeing her results, Sun Yuhua felt terrible.
"Educated Youth Xia, first place in the nation!" Secretary Cheng returned with such great news, a proud look on his face.
Xia Xiao was also delighted, though she had aid for the top, being the national topper was sothing else.
"Our Gao family has produced a top scholar, remarkable!" At the headquarters, Zheng Xianghong imdiately praised Xia Xiao.
Everyone joined in congratulating Xia Xiao.
However, Xia Xiao felt a bit embarrassed; she thought her top position was sowhat unearned, as after all, she had lived once before and had always been prepared for the restoration of the national exams, "Comrade Yang Xuehua also did well," Secretary Cheng praised Yang Xuehua again.
Yang Xuehua was very happy, her mind filled with a single thought.
Of course, in the production team, many got into university while so did not, causing nurous problems among couples and lovers.
Even Yang Zhonghong ended up leaving Gao Guo Cheng and their children, heading back to the city alone to attend Agricultural University. Yang Zhonghong had married the older Gao Guo Cheng, a decision many had doubted, but over the years she had shown she did not regret her choice, and they had been living well together.
Yet, with the return of the university exams, Yang Zhonghong unexpectedly left Gao Guo Cheng and the kids behind, choosing to go to university independently.
