Chapter 243 Chen Jiawang meets Xu Qingshan at the guesthouse
The conductor responded and said to Chen Shuning, "Shuning, please sit down. I'm going to eat. Please help me keep an eye on the bus~"
"Okay, sister, you still don't trust me?" Chen Shuning said with a smile: "Go eat, I'm here!"
Chen Jiawang looked around and saw that the floor was a bit dirty, so he found a broom and started cleaning.
Ma Lanzhi patted Chen Shuning on the shoulder and asked, "Shuning, how do you know them? They are usually very fierce. I don't dare to talk to them."
"When my second brother and I were in high school, we often took the bus. We bumped into this conductor quite often, and we became familiar with each other after a few visits."
Chen Shuning raised his head and pointed at Chen Jiawang, whispering, "Sometimes they're too busy, so my second brother and I will help out a little. They're not mean...
Many people on the bus try to evade fares, and when they go back to pay, the amount doesn't match, which makes it hard to explain to their supervisor. It's just anger. If you were the conductor, you'd be angry too."
"No job is easy," Wang Na sighed. "I must seize this opportunity. As long as I get into university, I won't have to worry about finding a job in the future."
"Hey, you and Lanzhi can make money, so you don't have to worry about getting into university." Chen Shuning looked up at Chen Jiawang and said, "My second brother and I are not worried now.
"Once I get into university, I'll have to worry about living expenses. But fortunately, private business is now allowed, so I can still make some money from small businesses."
Speaking of business, Ma Lanzhi perked up: "Shuning, what kind of business do you want to start?"
Chen Shuning rubbed his fingers and said awkwardly, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'm not like you and Wang Na. You two are dexterous, make beautiful clothes, and can knit sweaters. I can't..."
Wang Na thought for a moment and said, "But you're so sweet. If you help us sell things, they will definitely sell out very quickly!"
"Let's talk about it later!" Chen Shuning said with a smile: "Brother Guo said that hiring tutors is popular in Beijing now. He knows a lot of people and can introduce me to some."
"Hiring a tutor?" Ma Lanzhi asked doubtfully, "Is it like Nana and I paying a teacher to teach our high school courses?"
"Yes!" Chen Shuning replied, "That's a way out, but I have to get into a university in Beijing first."
Wang Na sighed, "A university in Beijing...it's hard for me to get in, right?"
Wang Na knew her own level very well, so she decided not to have such a beautiful dream.
"You have to have confidence in yourself." Chen Jiawang sat down next to Chen Shuning, dusted off his hands, and said, "Didn't you and Ma Lanzhi go to make up lessons?
As far as I know, not many people can afford to hire a teacher for extra lessons. You two are hardworking, and besides working, you memorize the lessons. If you work hard, you can get into Beijing.
We shouldn't aim too high, and even if we don't aim to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University, we can still consider other schools."
Wang Na instantly felt confident. She patted Chen Jiawang on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Chen Jiawang, you are very encouraging! If you say that, I will have confidence."
"Let's work together." Ma Lanzhi was also encouraged, and her tone was full of confidence: "See you in Beijing!"
The bus traveled on the road, carrying Chen Shuning's ideals and leaving Dahe Town to Anding County.
Chen Shuning got off the bus, waved to the conductor, and said, "Sister, goodbye!"
"Sister, do your best on the test!" The ticket seller poked his head out and shouted with a smile, "You must bring honor to our Dahe Town!"
"Hey, sister, when I get into college, I'll treat you to candy!"
The small station is bustling with people, carrying countless passengers every day. Everyone leaves here and rushes to his own destiny.
At this moment, Chen Shuning is also about to leave this small station and head towards his own future.
It was already time to go to work, and the pedestrians on the road looked hurried. Chen Jiawang looked up, then said to Wang Na, "You are not familiar with the county town, so Shuning and I will help you find a guesthouse first.
After you two are settled, Shu Ning and I will go find my sister-in-law. We will come to see you again tomorrow and go to see the examination room together to familiarize ourselves with the environment.
Wang Na said openly, "Shuning is Lanzhi and I's best friend, so I won't be polite to you two. After the exams are over, I'll treat you to a meal and thank you very much!"
"Count me in." Ma Lanzhi agreed, "Shuning has been tutoring us these past few months and asking someone to help us find a teacher. I should treat you to a meal and thank you very much."
"Don't be so distant." Chen Shuning said with a smile, "I'm a fierce person. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to be friends with me."
Wang Na leaned over and muttered, "You're not mean at all! You're so kind to your family and friends. I'm so lucky to be your good friend!"
Wang Na's words were carried by the wind into Chen Jiawang's ears. The corners of Chen Jiawang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Ma Lanzhi led the way, turned a few corners, and arrived at the guesthouse where they stayed last time.
Chen Jiawang chased after him and entered the guesthouse first: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and ask."
Anding County is a small town, and usually not many people stay at the guesthouse. But today it was bustling with activity, and Chen Jiawang frowned as soon as he entered.
In such an environment, let alone reviewing lessons, even getting a good night's sleep is a luxury.
"Comrade, what do you do?" A young woman dressed as a waitress came over, looked Chen Jiawang up and down, and said, "Are you a student? All our rooms here are full."
Chen Jiawang responded and said, "Is it full? That's fine. Thank you."
The waiter rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "You didn't even come earlier to take the college entrance examination..."
When Chen Jiawang turned around, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Jiawang, why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't go into the city until the college entrance examination?"
Chen Jiawang turned around and saw that it was Xu Qingshan. He forced a smile and said, "Oh, Qingshan! I changed my mind. I'll go into the city today, have a good rest tomorrow, and take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow."
"You should have said it earlier~" Xu Qingshan walked over with a smile, his tone was a little regretful: "If you come with me, we can live in the same room.
It's a pity that this place is full of people now, and I can't make room for you."
These words successfully disgusted Chen Jiawang. He was not a beggar and did not need Xu Qingshan's charity.
"I'm here to help Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi find a room. My eldest brother and his wife both work in the county, so Shuning and I have a place to stay, so you don't have to worry about it."
With that, Chen Jiawang turned and walked out. He was very disappointed with Xu Qingshan. Chen Jiawang admitted that his decision to go to the city on the day of the college entrance examination was ill-considered.
But Xu Qingshan knew the importance of this matter, but he refused to remind him. If Zhou Dajiang hadn't seen someone entering the city and told Chen Shuning, he would still be staying at home.
Don’t say that Xu Qingshan has no obligation to remind him. They are friends. Xu Qingshan goes to their house every day to study and ask questions, and Chen Jiawang never hides anything.
At this moment, Chen Jiawang knew very well who his true friend was.
Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Jiawang's back and scratched the back of his head. What happened to Jiawang? Did he offend him?
He went down the stairs. Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi came over and asked, "How's it going? Is there a room available?"
Chen Jiawang shook his head and replied, "They're all full. It's good not to live here. It's so smoky and noisy in there, it's impossible to rest well."
