Chapter 168. You're an illiterate rural woman

It was also at this time that Mother Zhou completely believed that Da Wa and Er Wa's ability to study were exactly like their mother.

The old Zhou family didn't have the gene for studying.

For example, Second Sister-in-law's Zhou Xia. His academic performance was really average.

And this was with the help of Er Wa, who taught him. Otherwise, it was needless to be said how bad the grades could get. Also, when he got back, he was never seen studying and was always playing. His mother chased after him as she yelled about squandering money and he needn't study if he can't get admitted in the future.

At this time, it was necessary to have a certain mark to move up a grade, otherwise, they will repeat the year.

Zhou Xia hadn't fallen to the point of repeating the grade. Still, it was impossible for him to achieve full marks like Er Wa.

It wasn't until the summer harvest that Lin Qing He's studying progress slowed down.

But have to say, she had studied the textbooks of elementary and junior high school inside out and she thoroughly understood them. The first year of high school was mostly completed. She hadn't started above high school year two yet. There will be a time in the future, so she'll take it slowly.

The summer harvest was hectic. Even though Lin Qing He continued to review, her focus was still on caring for Zhou Qing Bai.

Since the summer harvest started, Lin Qing He ordered an extra bottle of milk every day. It was made into milk mantou for him and Father Zhou to eat in the morning before heading out.

Three hearty meals a day, plus a thick mung bean soup at noon.

With this kind of diet, this tiring summer harvest was passed safely this year.

However, some people still had heatstroke. Eldest Sister-in-law's Da Ni had a heatstroke. Lin Qing He gave her some medicine. Eldest Sister-in-law wanted to pay her, but Lin Qing He didn't accept.

Speaking of Da Ni, she wasn't young anymore. Lin Qing He heard Mother Zhou mentioned that Eldest Sister-in-law recently began to help Da Ni check out potential marriage candidates.

But after doing the math, Da Ni was sixteen this year. In this era of early marriage norms, one can indeed start to look out at sixteen.

Then get engaged first. Wait until the age of eighteen, when it was the perfect time to marry out.

They can also let the son-in-law's family come over occasionally to help with some work or something.

Of course, this was a common occurrence in the countryside. The son-in-law will come to help on his own accord without the future father-in-law opening his mouth.

After the summer harvest, Eldest Sister-in-law had already made her choice.

He was from their village. A person from Wang family.

Though the majority of Zhoujia Village had the surname Zhou, one-third of them had different surnames.

Zhou Da Ni's selected match was one year older than her. He was only seventeen years old this year. His height was average, not much over at one meter seventy. Still, the Wang family was a pretty good household.

There were only two brothers, which wasn't a lot. At least after they got married, they can live alone in a small independent wing.

The two families connected with each other in private, but the rest was skimming the surface.

After all, they were still young now. They had brought it up for now and wait until they get older, they'll discuss it.

This method was quite popular now.

Lin Qing he felt it was too early for this kind of thing. At sixteen, they were still in middle school. Still, she didn't say anything.

This was not her daughter after all. It was Eldest Sister-in-law's. Even Mother Zhou, the mother-in-law, had no right to interfere, let alone her.

Eldest Sister-in-law had a good eye. The person she picked was wonderful.

After the summer harvest, the grain was distributed.

Same as the previous years, Lin Qing He had instructed Third Brother Lin to help. She got Third Brother Lin to gather extra food at his side.

She also gave him the two clothes that Zhou Qing Bai had discarded.

Although it was discarded old clothes, there were only four or five patches, which was an okay condition.

Third Brother Lin collected a lot at his side. It was even more so at the food distribution at Lin Qing He's side. Because Mother Zhou knew about it, there was no hesitation. As long as she didn't overdo it, no one would be suspicious.

After the grain was collected this time, Lin Qing He went to participate in the community's junior high school's math teacher exam.

The scumbag Chen Shan also happened to be participating in the exam this time.

Chen Shan was also shocked when he saw Zhou Qing Bai bringing Lin Qing He over. Although he was aiming for Lin Qing He, he was disrespectfully mocked by Lin Qing He last time.

Later on, seeing how Lin Qing He didn't have any of that intention at all, he lost his interest. Lin Qing He was indeed beautiful. But to be honest, Chen Shan really didn't dare to make small movements under Zhou Qing Bai's watch.

Others also noticed Lin Qing He.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He were both well known.

Especially Lin Qing He. Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages had heard of this prodigal wife's reputation. They never expected that she would come?

"Ahem." The community's principal was also surprised. He really didn't expect Zhou Qing Bai to actually bring his wife over to take the teacher admission exam. After a dry cough, he said: "There is still half an hour. The teachers inside will finish copying the exam questions. This time, we'll select the best. Only accepting the first and second place. The first will be the official teacher. I believe you all know very well about the official teacher's benefit. As for the second place, he/she will be a substitute with a salary of six yuan and three work points."

This was unexpected. They initially thought there was only one spot and never expect there will an additional substitute.

Lin Qing He felt more relieved. If she doesn't get the first place, she would get second place, right!

Zhou Qing Bai didn't go back immediately. He stayed behind to wait with Lin Qing He.

Soon the test paper was ready. Including Lin Qing He, there was a total of 18 people partaking the test.

They all entered the classroom and started to do questions.

There were two test papers. Although they were recruiting math teachers, there was also a Chinese test paper.

Because if there is a temporary need for a substitute, it had to be replaced by other teachers. So they must have knowledge of Chinese literacy.

Lin Qing He didn't hesitate at all. After looking through the test paper, she found it wasn't difficult at all. It was all basic. Even if it had a little depth, it wasn't as tricky as the questions she gave to Da Wa.

Lin Qing He completed a math test paper in half an hour. Then she worked on the Chinese test paper, which didn't take much time either.

It took some time for the composition because it was necessary to write a 500-character composition. The name of the composition was "Advance".

One look at a topic like "advance", it was clear what was needed to be written.

Although Lin Qing He knew about the future development situation, she didn't dare to write about it. Instead, she wrote the core content of advancing. She sang about people's life getting better and better. The whole story was focused on this. The text narration was very smooth and catchy.

So that not only did mathematics get a full mark but also Chinese too. There was no error at all.

The junior high school's principal was very surprised about her result.

"Impossible! This is impossible! You're an illiterate rural woman! How could you get such a high score!" After hearing this score, the third-ranked male educated youth was unwilling to accept it and immediately raised doubts.

That behavior seemed like it was Lin Qing He and the community's junior school cheating!
