The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

"I want to give birth."

Yan Yi looked at her, "Have you thought about it?"

"I am not opposed to having a child who is related to me. I will try my best to be a mother. I also believe that you will be a qualified father. Having these is enough, isn't it?"

Yan Yi was noncommittal, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

Zhong Qing smiled, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

……

Shen Mingzhu suddenly raised his head and glanced out the window. In the dark night, he could vaguely hear the rustling of snowflakes falling to the ground.

"Get some rest, it's getting late."

Shen Hongmei, who was opposite, glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "I'll study for another half hour, you go to bed first."

After saying that, he buried his head and continued to endorse.

There are only two days until the self-study exam. If you memorize one more knowledge point, maybe your score will be higher.

Shen Mingzhu reached out and closed the book in front of Shen Hongmei, "Learning is not done overnight, but accumulated over time. The exam is coming soon. Do you think you can perform well in the exam room with a tired body?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and keep a calm mind. If you fail the exam this time, you will have to retake the exam next time. There are thousands of candidates every year, and there are many who fail the exam. One more than you is not more, and one less than you is not too much."

With Shen Mingzhu's comfort and encouragement, Shen Hongmei gave up the idea of ​​staying up late to study hard, packed up her books and went to the guest room to rest.

During this time, she studied with Shen Mingzhu at night and temporarily lived here.

……

Standing outside the gate of the Adult Education Center and seeing the candidates entering the examination room, Shen Hongmei couldn't help but whisper to Shen Mingzhu.

"I'm so nervous, my hands are shaking."

"Then you go back to work."

Shen Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then said: "That won't work. I have been preparing for a year. Even if I fail, I will give it a try."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Then you're not nervous anymore?"

Shen Hongmei raised her head and raised her chest, "Everyone else can take the exam, why can't I? There's nothing to be afraid of."

"If you're not afraid, then go in."

"Just come in."

There was still some time left before the exam, and the exam rooms were not open yet. The candidates gathered in small groups or in the corridors to chat.

There was a huge buzz of people.

Shen Mingzhu first sent Shen Hongmei to the entrance of the examination room, and then went to find her own examination room.

"Shen Mingzhu."

When Shen Mingzhu heard someone calling her, she turned her head subconsciously and saw a few familiar faces.

"Ah, it's really you! I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful. I almost didn't dare to recognize you."

"Hello."

"I haven't seen you come to the exam in the past two years. I thought you didn't take the exam?"

"Something happened at home, so I was delayed."

"What are you doing right now?"

"I've run some small business. I'm going to the examination room first. Let's talk later."

After a few simple greetings, Shen Mingzhu said goodbye and left.

They were all women from the previous study group, and they weren't very familiar to each other originally. Plus, they hadn't seen each other for three years, so they were more familiar than strangers.

"Look, people are now prosperous and they don't look down on us anymore. They don't even want to say a few words."

Woman A pouted at her back.

Woman B: "I'm not familiar with you, so why should I talk to you? If I want to talk, it's with Xiang Ying, right, Xiang Ying?"

Woman C asked Xiang Ying who was quiet beside her, "Don't you have a good relationship with her? Why didn't I see you guys say hello just now?"

Xiang Ying smiled lightly and said: "It's not that good. After the study group was disbanded, we met once or twice, but then we lost contact."

Woman A continued to curl her lips: "You are so smart. During the study group, I was so diligent in currying favor with you two. Now I don't need you anymore and I don't even bother to answer you."

Xiang Ying didn't answer because she knew very well that Shen Mingzhu was not responsible for her breakup with Shen Mingzhu.

In fact, she has also learned something about Shen Mingzhu in the past few years. Shen Mingzhu opened the company, moved the factory, and started catering. Her husband's colleagues helped her.

……

Jingle Bell--

When she heard the bell ringing that the exam was over, Shen Hongmei stopped answering the questions with regret, put away her pencil case and stood up to hand in the paper.

After leaving the examination room, Shen Hongmei walked along the sea of ​​people outside the examination room.

She made an appointment with Shen Mingzhu to wait at the parking place.

When she was about to walk out of the examination room, she was suddenly hit by someone behind her, and she subconsciously looked back.

He was stunned at this sight.

"Hongmei, why are you here?"

After Ma Chao recognized her, his face was full of surprise and surprise.

Shen Hongmei was quite calm, except for being a little stunned at first glance, "I'll take the exam."

Hearing this, the surprise on Ma Chao's face became even stronger.

"How have you been these past few years?"

After walking out of the examination room, Ma Chao took the initiative to start talking.

While looking at her carefully, there seemed to be some nostalgia in his eyes.

It is said that Ma Chao has a good appearance, is thin and has handsome features. Because he does less farm work, his complexion is fairer and more delicate than that of ordinary men.

In the past, she liked Ma Chao's good looks so much that she would willingly give him everything.

But now, maybe because I have more knowledge and experience, when I look at the people in front of me, I think they are just ordinary.

Nothing manly at all.

"I'm pretty good. Have you also taken the self-study exam?" Shen Hongmei asked casually.

Ma Chao nodded and took the initiative to talk about his situation.

I did not perform well in the college entrance examination and failed to pass the technical secondary school. With the help of my father-in-law, I worked as a substitute teacher while studying for a college diploma by myself.

Shen Hongmei didn't ask the other party why he didn't repeat his studies. It was simply because of money.

Tuition, accommodation and living expenses can't be covered without four or five hundred a year.

To put it bluntly, half of Ma Chao's ability to finish high school for three years is due to her.

Half of the money she earned from working in the town was used as a subsidy for Ma Chao to study.

"I invited you to my wedding the year before last, why didn't you come?"

"There are so many things going on in the factory that I can't leave."

Although Shen Hongmei didn't go there, she still ate more melons.

She is now an executive in a food factory and has a certain amount of authority. Many people tip her off to please her.

It is said that the Ma family's wedding was quite shabby. There was not much meat on the table, and the wedding candies were the cheapest. Ma Chao's parents' house was used for the new house, and it was borrowed from a relative's house to make up for it.

The Ma family was already extremely poor, and Ma Chao had been heavily in debt after studying in the city for three years. It was rare to be able to hold such a wedding.

She also knew that everyone in Ma Chao's village was saying that Ma Chao had picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon by abandoning her for a woman from the city.

"You just started taking the exam this year, right? I've been taking the exam for two years and I haven't met you yet."

Shen Hongmei nodded, "You have been taking the exam for two years. How many subjects have you passed?"

"Past two doors."

"I have to attend classes on weekdays, and revise homework and prepare lessons at night. I only have time to study on weekends, winter and summer vacations."

Maybe he felt that it was hard to save face, so Ma Chao added.

Only passing two subjects in two years is really not a good result.

Self-study exams are taken twice a year, and you can take up to four exams at a time. Even if you only take one exam each time, you should have passed four.

Shen Hongmei encouraged: "It's not bad to have passed two exams. Take your time and pass each exam one by one. Sooner or later you will get a diploma."

Ma Chao smiled, "I'm still confident about this. But..."

He paused and said: "Hongmei, I don't think you need to take this exam." (End of Chapter)
