Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"But Xiao Hua Ge also said he's not going to graduate school anymore. If I go to study in Beijing, I'm afraid it won't mean much either."

Wang Xiaoqian couldn't help but sigh.

She had struggled hard for so long just to test into a prestigious university in Beijing. She didn't count on Tsinghua or Peking University, but the other 985 and 211 universities in Beijing were still worth a shot.

As a result, Wang Xiaohua now told her he wasn't going to graduate school anymore and wanted to return to his hometown to make contributions.

This caused her struggle to lose its anchor for a time.

Wang Xiaoqian's mother asked:

"He's not going to graduate school? Then what are his plans?"

Wang Xiaoqian replied:

"He said he tested into the Selected Graduate program back home, so he'll probably be returning to become an official."

Wang Xiaoqian's father said:

"That's not bad, is it? Serve the People, and it's close to our family too! You still have to strive for a good university. You don't have to go to Beijing; just study within our province. When it's time to fill out applications, ask Wang Xiaohua for advice, create more opportunities to interact with him!"

Wang Xiaoqian's mother said:

"Right, right, right. The Gaokao still requires full effort. With Wang Xiaohua's backbone, he definitely looks down on low education. You, at the very least you have to test into a key university to have the qualifications to enter his sight!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqian also felt it was very reasonable.

So she immediately said:

"Then I'll go back and review now. There's less than a month until the Gaokao. I must work even harder!"

Finished speaking, she hurried back to her own room.

Wang Xiaoqian's father and mother looked at each other, revealing complex smiles.

Actually, in their hearts they knew Wang Xiaohua not only didn't think highly of Niu Lin Xin, he also didn't think highly of their daughter.

The main reason was the age difference sitting right there.

Additionally, although Wang Xiaohua's wife had already passed away, I'm afraid no one could replace his wife's status in his heart.

The reason they still encouraged their daughter to bravely chase Wang Xiaohua was because they wanted to use this as motivation to make their daughter study hard and strive to test into a good university!

Judging from the current situation, this scheme of theirs had very obviously played a positive role.

Looking back to the beginning, Wang Xiaoqian's grades were on the same level as Niu Lin Xin's, but now, every exam Wang Xiaoqian could steadily test into the top three of the whole school.

Although Tsinghua and Peking University were almost impossible, as long as she didn't perform abnormally, those 985 and 211 universities in the province still had a good chance of being tested into.

"Come on, let's go to the room to talk!"

Wang Xiaoqian's father gave Wang Xiaoqian's mother a look at this time.

The two entered the bedroom, only then speaking quietly.

"Say, is it really okay for us to deceive our daughter like this?"

"What's not okay? Besides, it doesn't count as deceiving. We're just encouraging her to bravely pursue true love."

"Just afraid that when she graduates, Wang Xiaohua will have already married someone else."

"What does that matter? As long as she tests into university it's fine. Besides, people all change. Who knows, after university our daughter sees more of the world and stops being so infatuated with Wang Xiaohua."

"True. With Wang Xiaohua's looks, honestly, if he weren't wearing the Top Scorer title, in the rural area he'd be a bachelor for a lifetime!"

"And after he graduates, the Top Scorer's halo will also gradually fade. Honestly, I'm not too optimistic about him returning home to be an official. He has no backend, no background. Estimated a high possibility he'll gradually sink into mediocrity. Whether he can even mix into a Department-level Cadre in the future is hard to say..."

After Wang Xiaohua finished replying to Wang Xiaoqian's message, he didn't pay attention to her anymore.

Because at this time Gu Wenqing sent him a WeChat.

"Student Wang Xiaohua, do you have class this afternoon? If not, come to my office."

Wang Xiaohua didn't know what Gu Wenqing called him to the office for, but still answered readily:

"Okay, Teacher."

Because he didn't have class this afternoon.

Now it was already the tail end of the second semester of junior year. Generally there wouldn't be classes anymore.

Many classmates had gone out for internships.

Only Wang Xiaohua, having tested into the Selected Graduate program, hadn't gone out to find an internship.

Soon, Wang Xiaohua arrived at Gu Wenqing's office.

Politely knocking on the door, hearing Gu Wenqing's voice from inside: "Come in."

Wang Xiaohua then pushed the door and entered.

Just walked into the office, he saw Gu Wenqing propping her forehead, a trace of melancholy on her face.

"Teacher, did you call me for something?"

Gu Wenqing hurriedly put away the melancholy on her face, smiling as she said:

"Actually it's not a big thing. It's like this. I'm a person who has nothing to do normally, so I like to study some literary works. Actually I've wanted to write a literary work based on you as a prototype for a long time, just don't know if you're willing to grant me authorization."

Wang Xiaohua was stunned, somewhat surprised:

"Based on me as a prototype?"

He couldn't figure it out. He, an ordinary teenager from a mountain village, what was there to write about?

"Right. Based on you as a prototype, telling the journey from mountain village youth to Tsinghua student. This is an ordinary yet not mediocre story."

Ordinary yet not mediocre story, this sentence made Wang Xiaohua's inner heart tremble slightly, as if struck.

Gu Wenqing spoke again:

"When I learned of the love story between you and your late wife, I already had this creative idea. Later, when I found out you didn't choose recommended admission for graduate study, but chose to take the civil service exam and return to your hometown to contribute, this idea became even stronger. Student Wang Xiaohua, your life after graduation may not be very wealthy, and you may no longer have the attention that comes with being a top scorer in the college entrance exam, but you chose this path. Even if it becomes ordinary in the future, it will never sink into mediocrity, because from the moment you made this choice, you gave your life a special meaning."

These were Gu Wenqing's honest words from the heart.

In this era of economic upswing, who would willingly return to an impoverished hometown, take root in that barren soil, and contribute for those most grassroots masses?

After graduation, everyone rushes to big cities, all wanting to enter big enterprises and earn high salaries.

Even for the civil service exam, they flock to the central selection graduate and provincial-level position selection graduate exams. Those who deliberately apply to impoverished regions are truly rarely seen.

A proper Tsinghua University student, returning to an impoverished hometown to develop — in many people's eyes, this is not a wise choice.

It is even considered a waste of talent.

But Wang Xiaohua chose this way. It wasn't that he had no choice; among many choices, he chose a path he believed most meaningful, yet also the most arduous and difficult.

"If Teacher you truly want to use me as a prototype to create a literary work, then go ahead and create it. Whatever questions you need to ask me, just contact me, and I will do my best to cooperate with you!"

Wang Xiaohua answered Gu Wenqing like this.

He did not refuse.

Because someone using him as a prototype to create a literary work, he felt that was his honor.

Most importantly, he did not feel that the poverty and hardships he experienced in his youth were a kind of shame.

On the contrary, those were all the road he traveled to get here, honors branded onto his body.
