Chapter 1967: Chapter 1968: Female Intellectual Youth Passerby 110

Zhang Jie knew Wang Yan was coming to find Zhang Yu, and he was worried sick.

Seeing Zhang Jie’s worried expression, Zhang Yu smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

Zhang Jie looked at the relaxed Zhang Yu, telling him not to worry, and rolled his eyes, "How can I not worry?"

"Wang Yan is someone whose mind is not clear to begin with. Now that you’re doing better than her, she’s bound to be all kinds of envious and jealous."

"What if she makes a move against you?" Zhang Jie was genuinely worried, imagining Wang Yan going crazy; what could be done then?

"Rest assured, she’s envious and jealous of me, but she won’t be that stupid."

"Because there’s resentment in her eyes." Zhang Yu noticed the resentment in Wang Yan’s eyes, and resentment is good; it leads to all sorts of troubles.

Zhang Yu thought Wang Yan would continue to stir things up with the Wang family members, but unexpectedly, she and her husband returned to the farm rather quickly.

What’s going on? Did the Wang family cave in so quickly? Are the Wang family members that generous? The Wang family Zhang Yu knows is certainly not a generous one.

"The Wang family gave them money," Yao Ying heard the news, "If they didn’t take the money, Elder Sister Wang Yan would have been thrown out."

Zhang Yu knew Wang Yan’s sister didn’t marry as well this time as she did in her past life, though her husband’s family conditions seemed fine. However, the man listened to his parents no matter what, even after marriage, always saying, "My mom and dad said this and that." "Just because of this?"

"No, word got out that Wang Yan’s parents plan to poach from the other side, and once they settle this affair, they plan to skip over the in-laws as intermediaries." Yao Ying was eager to share this tidbit with the kids.

The first thought that struck Zhang Yu upon hearing this was, "Could it be Wang Yan who leaked the information?"

But after thinking more, he realized this seemed unlikely as they had just returned, and with such a big matter, the Wang family members wouldn’t let her know.

"If not her, then who could it be? After all, she’s the one benefiting," Yao Ying thought the same way, "Plus, Wang Yan asked for help in getting a city job."

Get a job? Zhang Yu was confused, "How to get a job?"

"Intellectual youths can return to the city to work, but the prerequisite is not getting married." Once intellectual youths get married, the chance to return to the city is essentially cut off.

Otherwise, many intellectual youths who went to the countryside for years, even at an old age, didn’t consider marriage, just thinking that as long as they remained unmarried, they had a chance to return to the city.

Zhang Jie pondered for a long time, with only one thought in mind, "They can’t be getting divorced, right?"

"I hope not," Yao Ying was quite surprised, but thinking about the fake guy’s behavior, "With such a man, life wouldn’t be easy."

"If you later get married, you absolutely must think carefully and not rush into it," Yao Ying seized the opportunity to teach them. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement, "I understand this."

"Mom, you say marriage is a big deal, it’s true the important things can’t be rushed, yet you’re always urging us," he grumbled, see? She said that, but when it’s time to push for marriage, she still does it.

Adults can be so hypocritical at times.

Yao Ying was left with no way to continue the topic after Zhang Yu’s remarks, "I’m telling you about the importance of marriage so you think it through, not as an impulsive decision."

"But each one of you doesn’t go to even check it out, and I’m just worried that one day you meet someone and want to marry them hastily."

"Wouldn’t that be an old house catching fire?" Yao Ying was now more worried if Zhang Yu and Han Lei had mutual feelings.

Although Xinjiang Province is far from here, Han Lei does correspond with Zhang Yu, keeping in touch consistently over the years.

Mere correspondence is fine, Yao Ying wasn’t too anxious since they hadn’t met, considering it as pen pals

Yet what’s more concerning was Zhang Yu had no boyfriend and no interest in blind dates, while Han Lei was single too, with no girlfriend and no interest in dating, wasn’t it strange?

If Han Lei used to be pitiful, since going to Xinjiang Province, he’s been succeeding non-stop, rising from a small position in the corps to a small leader now.

He was still young, having just joined the corps not long ago. If given more time, how much surprise he’d bring was unknown.

Yao Ying admitted Han Lei was very promising. Nonetheless, as a mother, she didn’t want Zhang Yu and Han Lei to end up together; the family relations are a bit complicated, and his thoughts are too deep.

Zhang Yu was unaware Yao Ying worried she might fancy Han Lei, being dumbfounded hearing this talk while reviewing her homework.

All she could say was, "Mom, are you too idle?"

Eh? Yao Ying didn’t understand, "How am I idle? I’m quite busy." Although she didn’t have a job, there were many things to handle in the family quarters and at home, how could she not be busy?

"If you’re busy, you shouldn’t have time for wild thoughts."

"I said long ago that I hate Han Lei’s deep calculative thoughts."

"I admit the Han family was quite unfair to him, but some of his scheming..." Zhang Yu had no right to say Han Lei was wrong, given the Han family did some really improper things previously, yet she still found it unsettling.

"So, mom, just relax," Zhang Yu kept focusing on her book, "My only goal now is getting into college."

Days passed by, and October 1977 arrived, bringing a major event that altered many people’s fates: the resumption of college entrance exams.

Zhang Yu didn’t know about other places, but the research institute notified everyone right away upon receiving the news.

Once the announcement was made, no matter what everyone was doing, hearing the news left them all stunned.

Then they quickly reacted, "College entrance exams are resuming?"

"Yes, yes, is my hearing impaired, why, why would..." how could people not be shocked?

Even knowing certain leaders returned, high-level changes, and many experts returning too, no broader transformations occurred, and the excitement and anticipation subsided gradually into calm.

Unexpectedly, when everyone thought certain hopes were distant, such a bombshell dropped.

Zhang Yu was secretly rejoicing inside; finally, finally, the news was here, "I can, I can participate in the college entrance exams."

She wanted to proclaim she could attend university, later realizing it would be too presumptuous, better to keep a low profile.

The others hearing Zhang Yu, "Yes, she graduated high school," "Yes, Little Yu, you still have hope."
