Chapter 191: You suddenly disappeared, why?
"Nan Nan, you're here," Xie Yuanyuan asked loudly.
"Don't talk at the door, you'll disturb the neighbors. Come inside first," Li Xiue pulled Xie Yuanyuan, and then the group finally cleared the way.
The group arrived at the main hall, and everyone stood or sat.
Li Xiue poured tea for everyone; since there weren't enough cups, she used large bowls to pour it directly.
Landlady Wang said with a smile, "At my age, I can't compare to you young people. I'll give my gift to Nan Nan first, then go to sleep."
Landlady Wang brought out a duffel bag and placed it in front of An Yinan, "Girl, our Textile Factory doesn't have much else, only cloth. These are the wedding gifts from the Textile Factory for you."
An Yinan said with a smile, "Thank you, and thank you to the uncles and aunts at the Textile Factory."
"I will take your thanks back. The rest of the time is for you young people." Landlady Wang walked out of the main hall and returned to her room to rest.
Liu Mei and Liu Yun walked out and said, "We sisters are planning to go out for a stroll. It's our first time in Beijing, and everything is beyond our imagination. Nan Nan, we couldn't bring things from the State-run Restaurant, so here is the gift ledger everyone wrote for you. I've brought it directly to you; I hope you won't mind," Liu Mei said with a smile.
"By the way, Ershu wanted to bring you meat buns no matter what. I had to explain for a long time before he gave up that idea."
"You don't know, ever since you stopped coming to the State-run Restaurant, Ershu hasn't had any energy when steaming buns and meat buns all day."
Liu Mei thought of the scene at that time and shook her head with a helpless smile.
An Yinan also imagined that scene and covered her mouth, smiling, "I miss everyone at the State-run Restaurant too, especially Ershu's meat buns and steamed buns."
"I'll make them for you when you go back," Liu Mei said.
Liu Yun walked over at this moment, "It's my turn, it's my turn. I wanted to give clothes, but I thought about it and realized your taste is much better than mine."
"I wanted to send some food, but it was too long on the train."
"After thinking it over, I knew you liked medicinal herbs, but it's unlucky to give medicine as a wedding gift, so I simply mailed it to the Northeast Military Region in advance. You will receive it when you go back. Although I don't know if you can use it, it counts as my heartfelt wish."
An Yinan hugged Liu Yun and then hugged Liu Mei, "Thank you, two sisters."
Liu Yun and Liu Mei waved their hands, "Wishing you happiness, sincerely."
"Alright, we two won't be sentimental here. We're going out for a stroll, you all keep chatting." The cousins said goodbye to everyone.
The people remaining in the room were all from Quanshui Village.
The landlord and landlady went to stay at Yun Dan's aunt's place.
Now there were only people from Quanshui Village; everyone had gathered together again after half a year.
Xie Yuanyuan looked at An Yinan first, then at Zhang Qian, and walked to Zhang Qian's side, "We all know about Nan Nan going to the Northeast Military Region."
"You suddenly disappeared, why?"
In everyone's eyes, Zhang Qian had suddenly disappeared.
Xie Yuanyuan had always known that Zhang Qian's identity was unusual, but she hadn't taken it to heart; after all, this person was her friend.
They were the Tiejiaosanjiao!
But now, only she was left of the Tiejiaosanjiao, and those two were both gone.
Zhang Qian thought for a moment, then gave a military salute to Xie Yuanyuan, "Northeast Military Region Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Qian, reporting to Comrade Xie Yuanyuan!"
Deputy Battalion Commander!
Everyone was not uneducated; they understood the concept of a Deputy Battalion Commander.
"Then you went to Quanshui Village to... carry out a mission?" Xie Yuanyuan asked.
"Yes." Zhang Qian lowered his hand, then said in a calm tone, "The mission is complete, and I need to go back. At the time, the mission was confidential and I couldn't speak of it."
Xie Yuanyuan nodded.
Then she slumped helplessly into a chair, "Sigh, so much for the Tiejiaosanjiao! It turns out only my corner is a bit of a drag."
Xie Shuyang helplessly pulled this girl up and rubbed her back, "It's okay, I'll hold it up for you."
An Yinan covered her eyes, "Xiue, are they like this in Quanshui Village too? I can't bear to look, I can't bear to look."
Li Xiue and Zhao Qiu Hua looked at each other and smiled helplessly, "Now you know how we've been suffering?"
Xie Yuanyuan shrugged her cute little nose, and the whole person started laughing.
Everyone held hot tea in their hands, chatting about whatever came to mind, without any scruples, having no worries.
"I have already finished the review stage and am now starting the second round of study," Zhao Qiu Hua said.
When talking about studying, everyone started speaking one after another.
"I'm almost done reviewing high school knowledge too," Li Xiue smiled.
Xie Yuanyuan looked at this one, then at that one, "Sigh, only I am slow. I just finished the first-year high school curriculum, but I plan to finish high school knowledge this year too."
For Xie Yuanyuan, this progress was not slow at all.
After Xie Shuyang moved to the back, he also joined their study plan. Although he started from the beginning, he had a foundation for learning and his base was much better than Xie Yuanyuan's. He learned many things as soon as he was taught, and incidentally brought Xie Yuanyuan along. With Xie Shuyang's supervision, Xie Yuanyuan's turtle-like speed finally started to improve quite a bit.
An Yinan gave them plenty of time, at least enough to study a few times over.
"My second aunt organized some materials and exercises. I've already been copying them on my side, and I'll mail them to you after I finish," An Yinan said.
Whenever she had time, she would copy some, and now she had already copied quite a few books.
"Oh my god, I haven't finished copying those books yet, and you're going to send new ones?" Xie Yuanyuan felt the road ahead was dark.
An Yinan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Shuyang; this charm wasn't working either.
"Xie Yuanyuan, I did say I wanted to test into Beijing."
"But I don't think I said which university in Beijing I wanted to test into, right?"
"My goal is Beijing University."
Beijing University...
For a moment, there was silence.
The country's top institution, Beijing University?
Was there something wrong with those words?
"Don't believe me?" An Yinan looked around.
"If we started so much earlier than everyone else and still can't get into Beijing University, then we might as well go home and raise pigs," An Yinan said with a mocking smile.
She was still herself, a unique firework.
A shocking statement! Silence fell!
"I! Will do it!" The first person to stand up was actually Zhao Qiu Hua.
Li Xiue smiled, "If I started so much earlier and still couldn't get in, I could indeed consider raising pigs."
A gentle knife from a gentle person!
Xie Shuyang said with a smile, "There is enough time!"
Xie Yuanyuan looked at everyone, then looked at Zhang Qian with envy, "Is the Military District recruiting?"
Zhang Qian shook his head, "Do you think we don't have to study?"
Xie Yuanyuan closed her eyes, "Having a group of friends with such lofty ambitions doesn't seem so great, ha! The pressure is just too much."
The group of people burst into laughter.
Previously, they studied according to An Yinan's words, but ever since An Yinan gave them a hint, they paid more and more attention to the newspapers, and gradually, they increasingly believed that the College Entrance Examination would happen.
Now they believed it completely, but just as they came to believe it, An Yinan raised the bar for everyone again: Beijing University!
That supreme institution of higher learning.
