The staff of the county education committee gave each of them a booklet, mainly to introduce the self-study exam.

It clearly states how to register, how to order textbooks, and the time and requirements for the exam.

Chunyang and Shen Zhilan sat at the door of the Education Commission and finished reading the booklet, Shen Zhilan put down the booklet first, sighed and said: "I have to go to the provincial capital, I haven't even been to Binjiang City, how far is the provincial capital, how much does it cost to go there." ”

Chunyang's mood was also very heavy, although she was prepared to deal with difficulties, but she didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties just for a self-study exam.

Going to the provincial capital not only costs money but also takes time, and it takes more than one time, which is really too difficult for candidates from remote mountain villages like her and Shen Zhilan.

So what's next?

Shen Zhilan is very confused, but Chunyang is not confused.

She was only depressed for a short time and then said with high morale: "Take the test, no matter how difficult it is." Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Under her infection, Shen Zhilan also rekindled her fighting spirit and said firmly: "I will take the test if you take the test, let's go to the provincial capital together, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

That being said, Shen Zhilan has many more worries than Chunyang.

The Guo family supports Chunyang unconditionally, as long as she wants, she can do whatever she wants. Shen Zhilan is different, she is Dabao's daughter-in-law, and if she wants to do something, she can't just be determined, and she has to agree with her husband's in-laws.

Even if Shen Zhilan didn't say it, Chunyang knew how difficult it was for a married daughter-in-law to do what she wanted to do.

She didn't say much, only encouraged Shen Zhilan not to give up.

They left the phone number of the county education office, and told the staff there that they must inform them of any new news, and it is too difficult for them to receive news from outside in the village, so please don't forget them.

After returning to the village, Shen Zhilan's side was very unsmooth.

Dabao doesn't have any opinions, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he supports it, but Dabao's parents don't agree, they think Shen Zhilan is just tossing.

So how can you not toss? It's very simple, stay in the village honestly, teach, plant the land, and give birth to a big fat boy for their family as soon as possible.

The last item is the key point, the little daughter-in-law has not moved for a year after marriage, it is amazing, I can't wait for the whole village to be anxious, and I don't ask "have you eaten" when you meet, but "there is no movement yet", you can imagine how much pressure the new daughter-in-law has.

Shen Zhilan has been married for less than a year, and many people have begun to care about her pregnancy and childbirth, and her parents-in-law even talk about giving birth every day.

Shen Zhilan is still like this, and Cao Yun, who has been married for a year, must be under more pressure.

Fortunately, Cao Yun does not live in the same courtyard with Li Guangzhu and his wife, and they save a lot of trouble by going their own way. After the winter, she and Li Yonggang went into the mountains to do a side business together, and they didn't have to look at the eyes of Li Guangzhu and his wife all winter, not to mention that they could still make money, and how many little daughters-in-law in the village envied her.

Shen Zhilan also envied Cao Yun.

She couldn't read a book in her house when she had nothing to do in the winter, and her mother-in-law didn't speak, so she ran into her house one by one, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets so that she couldn't do anything.

I really can't stand her going to Guo's house to find Chunyang, there is a dog on a leash in the yard of Guo's house, and the dog starts barking when she is far away, and Chunyang takes her to Dongmei's house when he sees her when he goes out.

Dongmei went to change the tofu, and there was no one at home, so it was convenient for the two of them to talk.

It was fine at first, but Shen Zhilan cried aggrievedly as she spoke.

"Why is it so difficult for a woman", Shen Zhilan whimpered: "When I was a girl, my parents favored my brother and brother, and I couldn't get what to eat and wear when I worked at home." I'm still angry everywhere when I get married, my parents-in-law treat me as an outsider, and my mother-in-law doesn't treat me as their own, why am I so difficult..."

Not only is Shen Zhilan a woman in this predicament, but the women around Chunyang seem to be like this, such as Li Dongmei and Cao Yun.

In comparison, Cao Yun is in the best situation, at least she has the support of her mother's family. Shen Zhilan is not up or down among these three women, and she is also very pitiful.

Chunyang didn't know how to comfort her, so he only quietly accompanied her and let her vent to her heart's content.

After crying enough, Shen Zhilan wiped away her tears and said embarrassedly with red eyes: "Look at me, what are you talking to a little girl about this, if you scare you again, what should you do if you don't dare to marry in the future." ”

"You also know that I'm still a little girl, it's okay to say anything, anyway, it will be a few years before I can get married", Chunyang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be discouraged, as long as we don't give up, we will always get better." ”

Chunyang's comfort was very unconvincing, and Shen Zhilan smiled bitterly, her face full of confusion.

A few days later, Li Dongmei, who came back from changing tofu outside, brought back a big news, big news about Shen Zhilan.

She is expecting!

She didn't come for a long time, and her mother-in-law was more attentive than her, so she asked the old lady in the village who could touch her pulse and said that she was pregnant.

Dabao's family is very happy, and they can't wait to offer Shen Zhilan as an ancestor. My mother-in-law didn't let her do any work, and she couldn't read a book, it was too eye-consuming and nerve-wracking.

Chunyang went back to the village to see her, she took Chunyang's hand and said with red eyes: "They are all so happy, it seems that I am the only one who is unhappy." It's not that I don't want children, it's just, it's..."

She paused for a long time before she said with mixed emotions: "They revolve around me all day long, let me eat and drink more, let me rest and don't let me work, and they all say that they are good for me, but as soon as I don't listen to them, they say that I am too willful and not good for the child in my belly." After all, they are not for my good at all, they only have the child in my belly in their eyes. ”

"Then do you want to make the child good?" Chunyang asked her.

Shen Zhilan nodded, and Chunyang smiled: "Then your goal is the same, don't think about it, spend this winter in peace, and when school starts, you have to go to school every day, and they can't follow you." ”

Chunyang didn't talk to Shen Zhilan about how old it was, and Dabao's mother came in, and they didn't want to talk about it anymore, so they just talked about some gossip in the village with Dabao's mother.

Dabao's mother is not a gossip person in the village, but she also knows about the shortcomings of the east and west families in the village.

Chunyang knew something about the Li family from her.

Just two days ago, Li Tingting and Li Jiaojiao, two girls from Li Guangcai's family, went to play with their grandparents, originally wanting to see their grandparents, and brought them buns wrapped by Zhao Qiaoqiao. It's a good thing, but I don't know which sentence made the old man unhappy, and the old man Li actually beat the child.

Grandpa beats his granddaughter, whether it is justified or not, he will beat him, and he can't do anything to the old man.

But this old man is really angry when he speaks, when Zhao Qiaoqiao went to pick up the child, he actually poured his anger on his daughter-in-law and said a lot of ugly things, Zhao Qiaoqiao blew up at that time, not only replied, but also beat Li Guangcai in front of the old couple!
