Chapter 130 We Are All Happy
Lan Xi nodded, lowered her head and continued in a low voice: "Well, I want to repeat my senior year and take the college entrance examination again. I will earn the tuition for this retake by myself, and I don't need my family to pay for it."
Originally, the Lan family was worried that Lan Xi must have encountered some difficulties when he looked so miserable, but they didn't expect that he was talking about studying.
Even if he didn't get into college after graduating from Lanxi High School, in this era of intellectual shortage, someone who has graduated from high school is still very impressive and can apply for a primary school teacher position in a nearby town.
But Lanxi wants to repeat her studies...
The Lan family chewed on these two words silently. Nowadays, not many people repeat a grade. If they fail to get into college, they will just find a job or get married, or they will start working without even finishing high school.
Moreover, there are not many high school students in the village. Lanxi is one of the ones who is highly expected. Unexpectedly, even he failed to get into college. It seems that it is very difficult for their Lanjia Village to produce a college student.
What did Lanxi say now? He wanted to repeat his studies and take the college entrance exam again.
Lan Qing patted Lan Xi on the shoulder and said with admiration: "You are worthy of being my brother. You are the first one in the village to repeat a grade. Maybe our family can really produce a college student! Dad, this is a good thing. My younger brother is ambitious. Why are you so angry? Anyway, I support him!"
The third brother, Lan He, also patted his chest and said, "I support my younger brother too. There hasn't been a golden phoenix in the surrounding area. If he really gets admitted to university, it will be a great joy. I will sell my blood to support him to study."
"Third brother, you don't have to sell blood. I can earn money for tuition by myself." Lan Xi looked up at her eldest and third brothers who were full of heroic spirit and said in a low voice.
Lan Ze touched the chopsticks and thought for a while, and finally looked at Lan Xi with encouraging eyes.
"Lanxi's score was very close to the university admission score before, but unfortunately he missed the admission because of those few points. I heard that there are other schools with lower scores. This time we can apply to other schools with lower scores, and we will definitely be admitted to university."
Lan Ze was talking about the college entrance examination application that Lan Xi had filled out before. At this time, the college entrance examination application was filled out first, even before the college entrance examination began. Lan Xi's original application was for schools based on his usual performance level.
Who knew that the big math questions in this year's college entrance examination exceeded the standard? Lanxi failed to answer it and lost points. Not only him, but other candidates also failed to answer it.
Originally, Lanxi thought that it was just a matter of fate, but he was unwilling to accept it and wanted to take the exam again. There was nothing wrong with the questions that made him lose points in this year's college entrance examination. The problem was that their place was remote and the teaching quality and question bank update speed were not as fast as those in other cities.
Candidates from small cities like them only come into contact with the newly released college entrance examination questions during the exam, while schools in big cities outside have already set questions to expand thinking before the semester - this was what Sun Shimei's son told him when he was in Shanghai.
Lan Xi was not convinced. He thought to himself that if he was given a little more time, he would study these new questions carefully and figure them out carefully, so that he would not be stumped when he encountered them in exams.
Lan Xin now understood what old man Lan was thinking.
Now he was angry and disagreed with Lanxi's repeating the year to take the college entrance examination, but Lanxi's brothers all agreed and were even willing to show up for him to repeat the year.
Not only the eldest brother, but even the sisters-in-law sitting beside them, although they did not say anything, their faces did not look unpleasant. They did not raise any objections and seemed to support their ideas.
After all, Lanxi said that his family didn’t need to pay for his re-examination this time, and he could earn the tuition by working part-time.
Besides, they have already separated. Even if they want to support him to study, it is his parents who will pay. There is no way they will ask his brothers and sisters-in-law.
Instead, Xu Rufang glared at Lan He, which was even more unreasonable. He even sold blood to support his brother's studies. How could he not sell blood to support the family?
The rough-minded Lan He did not notice the knife marks on his wife's arm. He just touched his arm and felt a little cold.
He licked his cheeks and looked at Old Man Lan with sparkling eyes, "Dad, just let Lanxi repeat the year. It will only delay one year. What if our Lan family can produce a college student?"
The others also looked at Old Man Lan. After all, from the perspective of their own family's interests, they had nothing to lose.
None of the brothers said that one of them was jealous of the other's ability to study. Anyway, their families had all supported them to go to school, but it was only Lanxi who persisted all the way.
If Lanxi gets admitted to university, their whole family will be proud.
Old Man Lan, who was placed high hopes by a group of people, rolled his eyes and snorted sarcastically.
"Why, when you were his age, who didn't take the work points and silver money you earned from working home to use for household expenses? Only Lanxi was special. He kept the money he earned for his own studies. Why, should I thank him for being sensible and not spending the family's money?"
Old man Lan let out a loud "Ah?" and looked along the Lan Qing, Lan Ze, Lan River, and his daughters-in-law.
No one dared to face Old Man Lan's gaze and they all avoided his sharp eyes.
In the end, it was Lan Qing, the boss, who stepped forward and spoke.
"Dad, Lanxi didn't use the money to do anything bad. He used it to study."
"Didn't I support him in his studies?" Old Man Lan asked back.
"Your mother and I raised him up, and you brothers earned work points to support his education. Now that he is capable, you can't enjoy any benefits from him in the end. Are you happy about that?"
Lan Qing didn't know what to say. He glanced at his brothers and sisters, but they all lowered their heads and didn't meet his gaze.
Helpless, Lan Qing could only bite the bullet and go ahead, "Dad can't just look at the present. When Lan Xi has a promising future, he will definitely be more filial to you."
"Lanxi, is this true?" Lan Qing stretched out her foot to lift Lanxi. He quickly raised his red, tear-stained face and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I will be more filial to my parents in the future. I will also be filial to my brothers and sisters-in-law. I will definitely be filial to you."
"That's enough. You're such a grown-up, and you're still crying." Lan Qing looked at Lan Xi with disgust on her face but a relieved smile on her face.
"Dad, let Lanxi continue to repeat the grade." Lan Qing said, and then looked at the brothers: "You guys speak up."
"Dad, let Lanxi continue to repeat her studies. In the future, we will have a college student in our family."
"Yes, we are all happy and we all support him." Lan He said with a smile.
"College students, college students, what if they fail the exam again?" Old Man Lan muttered to himself, but he showed obvious signs of loosening up.
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Lan clapped his hands.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what an unlucky thing to say!"
"That's right, Dad. I'm sure I'll pass the exam this time. Don't try to bring bad luck to me."
Not only Old Lady Lan, but even Lan Qing and a few others were staring at the old man, which made Old Man Lan feel aggrieved and he could only spat a few times.
Although I feel wronged, I am not slow at all.
