Chapter 191: Chen Shuning is in charge of the warehouse and is hated by Xing Fangcao
The young couple Chen Jiaxing and Ji Xue, along with Chen Aidang and Chen Jiahe, father and son, left Chenjia Village on the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month.
With their departure, the Chen family's courtyard returned to its former tranquility. But the tranquility didn't last long, as the sound of reading aloud could be heard again in the courtyard.
I don’t know what happened, but Xing Fangcao stopped pestering Xu Qingshan, and Xu Qingshan was finally able to go out and continue studying with Chen Jiawang.
Wang Na, Ma Lanzhi and Xu Qingshan were not from the same group. They came to ask Chen Shuning some questions.
Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi only studied up to junior high school, so their foundation was very poor. It was too late to start improving their foundation now, so they could only rely on rote memorization.
Fortunately, Chen Shuning highlighted the key points for them, reducing the difficulty of learning.
Wang Na scratched her hair and said with a bitter face, "Shuning, it's a good thing you taught us both. Otherwise, I would have almost gone crazy after memorizing these books."
Ma Lanzhi turned a page and said calmly, "Shuning, I don't think Nana and I have much chance of getting into university. But I still want to give it a try. What if I get in?"
Chen Shuning knew that it was difficult for people who had not attended high school to fully grasp the knowledge by studying textbooks on their own.
Therefore, even if Guo Junshan said that the difficulty of the college entrance examination questions this time should not be too great, she did not dare to tell Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi.
Just because it wasn't difficult for Chen Shuning doesn't mean it's easy for others, as everyone has different skills. Ma Lanzhi herself also admitted that they found it very difficult to learn.
Chen Shuning said gently but firmly, "How can you know if you can succeed if you don't try? The three of us will help each other and work hard together. Only hard work will bring rewards!"
Wang Na's mouth twitched as she said self-deprecatingly, "This can't be considered mutual help. It can only be said that Shuning is unilaterally helping the two of us. We are still very self-aware."
"Yes~" Ma Lanzhi agreed, "Before coming here, we hesitated for a long time. We always felt that coming here to ask you for advice would be a waste of your time..."
Wang Na said carelessly: "Fortunately, I am thick-skinned, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to your door."
Chen Shuning smiled and said, "But you two are quite lucky. You found books on the humanities. If you had studied science like us, you would have had no hope."
Ma Lanzhi leaned over and flipped through Chen Shuning's book, nodding sincerely and saying, "Tsk tsk! I can't even understand math, and physics and chemistry are even more confusing to me."
Chen Shuning urged, "Hurry up and memorize the lessons! At least you can remember history and geography by rote."
Xu Qingshan next door wasn't so relaxed. He put down his pen again, scratched his head, and said, "Isn't this too difficult? Jiawang, let me see how you solve this problem."
Chen Jiawang's eyes were still on the textbook in his hand. He raised his hand and pushed the math book on the table over.
Xu Qingshan opened Chen Jiawang's textbook and looked at the steps above. Suddenly, he understood. He exclaimed, "Jiawang, what's wrong with your brain? This problem can be solved this way?"
Thinking of Chen Shuning who was studying next door, Xu Qingshan jokingly said, "Could it be Shuning who figured it out?"
"It wasn't her." Chen Jiawang flipped a page and said nonchalantly, "Junshan solved it. He's really smart. Shu Ning asked him all the questions she couldn't solve."
Xu Qingshan's smile froze. How could it be Guo Junshan? How could a policeman like him be so smart?
Chen Jiawang was completely oblivious to Xu Qingshan's displeasure. He continued reading, "Junshan will be back from get off work tonight. If you have any questions, you can ask him together."
Xu Qingshan responded perfunctorily and lowered his head to continue working on the questions, but his mind had already wandered elsewhere.
Guo Junshan was also busy. He assigned Wei Gaoyun a task: to find someone to prepare a few high school exam papers and mail them to him immediately.
The order to transfer Guo Junshan back to Beijing may come at any time. He has to hurry up and solve the problems that Chen Shuning may encounter before leaving, so that he can leave with peace of mind.
As time went by, the snow gradually melted, and on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head, and puddles filled the village. This also indicated that the slack season was finally over, spring was coming, and everyone had to start working again.
In the past six months, Chen Shuning had been helping Lin Shitou a lot, always taking the lead in helping with any village event, big or small. When work began in the spring, Lin Shitou discussed with the production team leader and arranged for Chen Shuning to be in charge of the warehouse.
Lin Shitou had other intentions in making this arrangement. He knew that Chen Shuning was going to take the college entrance examination, so he wanted to help her. As a village cadre, it would be a source of pride for him to have a college student in the village.
Managing a warehouse is a good job. When starting work, I have to register and distribute farm tools to everyone. When leaving work, I have to record everyone's work points.
After repairing farm tools and cleaning, Chen Shuning has free time.
Originally, this job belonged to Xing Fangcao, but the things she did were really dishonest, and the villagers wouldn't accept her continued work, so she was fired.
But Xing Fangcao didn't think so. She felt that Chen Shuning had taken her job away.
Her foundation was already weak, and she was reluctant to light candles at night. She thought that if she studied hard during the day at work, she would have plenty of time to study, and she would definitely catch up, or even surpass Chen Shuning.
The moment Xing Fangcao knew Chen Shuning had taken over her job, she wanted to rush over and fight Chen Shuning, but reason stopped her.
Since the twelfth month of last year, Chen Shuning hadn't been hungry again. The quality of his food had also improved dramatically, and he had become much stronger. His once thin face had become rounder, and he looked even better.
Xing Fangcao knew that her health was so poor that she couldn't beat Chen Shuning. Besides, this was Chenjia Village. How could the villagers just sit there and watch Chen Shuning get beaten?
Despite feeling resentful, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She swore in her heart that one day she would trample Chen Shuning under her feet...
Chen Shuning didn't care about Xing Fangcao's thoughts at all, nor did he neglect his work because of studying.
As a result, the people of Chenjia Village discovered that the warehouse was cleaner than before, and the farm tools were all put away. Chen Shuning even had time to boil water so he could drink it when he was thirsty. It was much more convenient than when Xing Fangcao was here.
The sun was about to set again, and Chen Shuning walked into the house with a book in his arms.
Guo Junshan came home early today. Seeing them coming back from work, he greeted them, "Grandpa, Grandma, Auntie, I've cooked dinner. Wash your hands and eat!"
The Chen family had become accustomed to Guo Junshan's presence, so they didn't bother to be polite with him and finished the meal chatting and laughing.
After everyone put down their chopsticks, Guo Junshan took out a stack of test papers from his briefcase and handed them to Chen Shuning.
Guo Junshan's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and he said with a smile: "Everyone is here today, I have something to say."
The Chen family looked at Guo Junshan expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
Guo Junshan's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was a little low: "In about a week, my transfer order should arrive. I will be transferred back to Beijing to work."
