Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 341 Academic Advancement

After she gave birth and left the confinement period, a few days passed and it was the time for the second-year junior high school students to go to technical secondary school.

At that time, Shen Qingqing had just finished her first year of junior high school. If she could also pass the exam, maybe they would have the chance to study together.

Xu Manyue looked at the task time again. The deadline for the academic qualification improvement task was before July 1996.

At this point in time, the college entrance examination was cancelled, schools were closed, and educated young people were encouraged to go to the countryside to build the country. It was also the beginning of a period of turmoil.

However, the technical secondary school was not affected too much at the beginning. I continued to attend classes and was guaranteed a job after graduation.

Xu Manyue silently calculated the time in her mind. If she really wanted to take the technical secondary school entrance exam, the best time would be the second half of this year.

It was now the beginning of 1962, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. If she could pass the exam in the second half of this year, she would graduate after completing three years of technical secondary school in 1965, which would just avoid 66.

If Shen Qingqing had also been admitted, she would have graduated in 66. However, those things had little impact on technical secondary school graduates, and she would still be assigned a job.

But the premise of all this is that she can pass the exam.

Suddenly, the baby in her belly kicked her belly. It didn't hurt, but she could clearly feel the baby's movement.

Xu Manyue's thoughts were pulled back by the movement of the child. She sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and touched her belly, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

If she goes to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school, what will happen to the child? She can't leave him to others.

If she gave birth but didn't raise the child, what's the difference between her and those people in the Xu family?

As for this task, let’s wait until the baby is born. We can always find a way.

……

When Xu Manyue left the room again, it was almost dark. It was supposed to be Lin Luoxia's turn to cook today, but if she left, it would be her turn to cook.

Although she is now advanced in pregnancy, she still has to do some simple housework. Wang Zhaodi and Lin Luoxia had gone through the same thing before, and they didn't have to do housework until the few days before the birth.

Therefore, Xu Manyue is no exception.

Fortunately, with the pill that the system had given her before, she didn't have much reaction to her pregnancy. Except for the inconvenience of doing things due to her big belly, there were no other problems.

Xu Manyue pushed the door open and walked out. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Lin Luoxia cooking.

She was slightly startled, but quickly came to her senses.

It seems that the divorce did not go through.

Lin Luoxia also heard the footsteps. She looked up and saw the person coming. She smiled faintly, "Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry for what happened this morning. I'm here to apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart."

"I hope you can understand that as a mother, I always want my children to have a better life."

"I know what happened today was wrong, but I was really desperate at the time. I had no other choice but to come to you. Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again."

"To apologize to you, I told my mother that from today until you are out of confinement, I will take care of all your work."

Although Xu Manyue didn't know how the two of them reconciled, as long as it didn't involve her, she didn't want to delve into it too much.

Facing Lin Luoxia's goodwill, she shook her head and said, "No need, sister-in-law, I can still do the work on the stove, so I won't bother you."

Some people must be guarded against, especially Lin Luoxia. She'd better be careful. This person is too cunning and there's no guarantee that she won't attack her in the future.

Lin Luoxia was silent for a moment, "Third sister-in-law, are you prejudiced against me because of those things?"

Ever since some of the things she had done came to light, everyone in the Shen family has been distancing themselves from her. She knows why these people are doing this, but she still finds it quite funny.

Again, no one in the Shen family is innocent in Shen Lanhua's death.

Don't put all the blame on her.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and avoided the topic. "Second sister-in-law, since the matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again. Baozhu is still young now. The most important thing is that you and second brother live a good life and raise the child well."

Not getting divorced is the best choice for both the children and Lin Luoxia.

In this famine-stricken era when people were not well fed or clothed, it was very difficult for a woman with nothing to survive with a child.

Lin Luoxia sighed, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, "Third sister-in-law, you are right, I should live a good life with your second brother."

Not only is she deaf in one ear, she's also not young anymore. If she really gets divorced, the man she can find will be worse than Shen Lao Er.

Whether for the sake of her child or herself, she must hold on to the Shen family.

At least, I won't starve to death in the Shen family, and there will be a way to survive no matter what.

Xu Manyue didn't stay in the kitchen any longer. Since someone was cooking, she didn't have to do it.

According to the order, it will be her turn to cook tomorrow.

As soon as she came out of the kitchen, Xu Manyue discovered Mrs. Shen hiding at the kitchen door, with her butt sticking out and her ear pressed against the door, eavesdropping.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Mrs. Shen realized she had been discovered and quickly withdrew her hands and feet, with an unnatural smile on her face, "Third sister-in-law, you... why are you looking at me like that? There's nothing on my face...

She just saw the two of them talking in the kitchen, so she was curious and wanted to listen.

Xu Manyue looked back at the kitchen, shook her head at Mrs. Shen, and then pulled her away.

Judging from the position where Lin Luoxia was standing just now, she probably saw Wang Zhaodi eavesdropping when she went out.

After pulling the person out, Mrs. Shen suddenly leaned over to Xu Manyue's ear and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, just now... what did you say in there specifically? Tell me."

Xu Manyue glanced at her, somewhat surprised. It turned out that this person had been eavesdropping for a long time but heard nothing.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you hear it just now?"

Mrs. Shen rubbed her frozen hands and smiled awkwardly, "You guys were talking so quietly, how could I hear everything? What's more, I was just about to eavesdrop when you pushed the door open. I really didn't hear a thing."

Xu Manyue shook her head. "It's nothing, sister-in-law. You should take good care of your pigs and try to get more meat coupons for the family next year."

This pig is related to whether we can have a good year next year.

Mrs. Shen smiled flatteringly. She quickly pulled Xu Manyue's hand and said, "Come on, just tell me. Look, I tell you everything. Third sister-in-law, you can't not share even such a small thing with me."

Now that winter has arrived, she has basically nothing to do except feeding the pigs every day, and she is almost bored to death.

Xu Manyue gently pulled her hand away, still shaking her head, "Sister-in-law, if you have the time, you should pay more attention to Qingqing."

"Their school is about to close for the holidays. Please pay more attention to Qingqing. If she gets into a technical secondary school, won't our ancestral graves be filled with joy?"

"When the time comes, as Qingqing's mother, others will envy you to death."
