Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

On the day the results came out, the weather was really cold, so cold that she didn’t even want to go to the commune.

Ah, at times like this, she really yearned for the future’s score-checking system, making a phone call or checking online, and at worst she could go back to school to check.

Now they still had to go to the commune to check their scores. Fortunately, yesterday Qian Hao said that it would be sufficient for just the two of them to go, everyone else didn’t need to go.

Zhang Yu turned over and continued to rest. Once the results were out, she would know if she could get into a university, and then just wait for the admission notice.

Zhang Yu filled in the law major at the University of Political Science and Law, B University, and R University. At this time, the University of Political Science and Law hadn’t changed its name yet, it was still Beijing University of Politics.

Zhang Hui also didn’t go to the commune to check the scores; it was too cold outside. The boys at the intellectual youth point had taken over this task. Although she didn’t go to the commune, she had already woken up and was lying in bed looking at the ceiling.

Zhang Juan, too, had already woken up and lay there thinking. If before the exam she thought it was unlikely she would pass, she knew for certain she wouldn’t once she came out of the exam room, and she wasn’t so heartbroken.

Although Zhang Hui was by her side and hadn’t uttered a word, Zhang Juan felt secretly delighted. She hadn’t done well, but the consistently excellent Zhang Hui hadn’t done well either, and that was enough.

Zhang Hui hadn’t done well, and it made no sense that Zhang Yu, whose scores weren’t as good, could do well.

Not only did the two not rest well, lying in bed thinking about their scores, many others who participated in the college entrance examination were also lying in bed contemplating, except Zhang Yu, who was sleeping soundly.

For her, as long as her political score was stable, this entrance exam was steady. It really wasn’t that difficult.

When Zhang Yu woke up again, it wasn’t because she heard a noise outside but because she was hungry. She got up in one go, washed up, and then started eating.

In Northeast China during winter, people generally ate two meals a day. Zhang Yu was no exception, but she habitually added meals for herself. Luckily, with large amounts of exercise, she wouldn’t gain weight easily.

Unfortunately, such happy days are about to end. Once she goes to the Capital City, she will live in an eight-person dormitory where improving her meals will be really difficult.

Eating her delicious food, Zhang Yu began to consider buying a house. No matter where she would be assigned in the future, having a house in the Capital City is always a good thing, and since winter entrance exam students are very likely to stay in the Capital City.

When movement occurred on Zhang Yu’s end, Zhang Hui’s group also heard, "How do you think Zhang Yu did?" Zhang Hui asked quietly.

Zhang Juan shook her head, "I don’t know, haven’t heard her comparing answers with anyone."

"Then she probably did badly, otherwise why wouldn’t she dare to compare answers." Zhang Hui stated with certainty.

Zhang Juan agreed, "Yes, everyone knows she’s thick-headed."

Everyone at the intellectual youth point was worried about their scores, while the people who went to the commune to check already sat on the ox cart coming back quietly.

Zhao Yadong was smiling happily. Don’t think it was easy, getting into a university in the Capital City; he had studied very seriously. After finishing the last exam, he knew it was steady; he was highly likely to get into a university in the Capital City, but didn’t know which university.

He never expected Qian Hao and Zhang Yu to perform so well. If it weren’t for others on the cart, he really wanted to tease them a little.

Xiao Lei also sat quietly on the ox cart, watching silently the scenery as it passed. He had been here for years, had seen this road to the commune countless times, but this time he really found it beautiful.

Qian Hao remained as calm as ever; for him, scoring as he did was no surprise at all.

When the cart stopped at the village entrance, everyone got off and went their separate ways after greeting Wang Ji.

Wang Ji watched the departing crowd, especially noticing their drooping faces; his first reaction was, didn’t do well on the exam?

Villagers not doing well was one thing, but even the intellectual youth hadn’t done well, wasn’t it said many were high school students?

Old Master Wang, who was driving the cart, saw Wang Ji was confused, "The scores were good, Qian Hao scored 497, Zhang Yu scored 495 points."

Ah, ah, ah, ah, Wang Ji was stunned hearing these scores, "Ah, ah, ah, scoring so well?"

Wang Ji’s family didn’t have children taking the college entrance exam, but he knew how many points was a full score; five subjects deducting only three and five points, "These scores should be the city’s top scores."

"What about the others?" Wang Ji asked concernedly.

"That I don’t know, I just know Zhao Yadong’s score should be good, he mentioned waiting for the notice to come so he can go to the Capital City," Old Man Wang, though elderly, had good hearing.

Zhao Yadong going to study in the Capital City? Wang Ji was pleasantly surprised, "That’s really great."

Completely reassured, no matter how others scored, just Qian Hao and Zhang Yu’s scores were enough for him to feel proud among other villages.

When Zhang Hui heard the noise outside, she knew the scores had likely come out, promptly getting up.

Zhang Juan also immediately got up; regardless of how they did, they had already taken the exam, and it was time to ask how they did.

When Zhang Yu heard the noise outside, she knew the main group had returned, and leisurely got up. Upon exiting her house, she found the yard empty, thought for a moment they might be in the front hall, walked over, after quickly looking around, she found she was alone.

Wanting to find a quiet place to stay, she realized everyone was staring at her, leaving Zhang Yu puzzled: what’s going on, why was everyone staring at her, was it just because she came last?

A female intellectual youth sourly said, "Zhang Yu, really didn’t expect you scored so well, scored 495."

Huh? Zhang Yu knew she did well, never thought it was 495; she remembered controlling the score, it shouldn’t be 497, why is it 495?

If she knew, she wouldn’t have intentionally answered that multiple-choice question wrong, well, the scores were out, there’s no point dwelling further.

"I didn’t expect it either, but I really worked hard, got up after seven every day, studied until after one, with guidance from Qian Hao," Zhang Yu straightforwardly attributed her good score to Qian Hao’s help.

Everyone’s expectant eyes turned to Qian Hao; Zhao Yadong jumped in, "Yeah, I could also score well this time thanks to Qian Hao’s help."

Qian Hao stood expressionless, completely ignoring the everyone’s words.

Zhang Hui hadn’t anticipated Qian Hao scoring so well, nor that he guided Zhang Yu, but thinking again, she felt no matter how good Qian Hao’s guidance was, Zhang Yu’s scores couldn’t improve so quickly.

She really couldn’t figure it out, "Zhang Yu, I recall your scores weren’t good before in school, how come they’re so high this time?"
