Going back during summer vacation?
"Sure, when do you have summer vacation? Do you also need an exam permit? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me or your sister-in-law. She knows a lot."
"We have to take exams?" Zhao Tianhe was truly shocked as he spoke.
Fang Chaoyang and Zhao Tianlei wore expressions of resignation.
You’re studying, so when it comes to the end of the term, how could there not be exams?
"You didn’t think they would let you attend night school without exams, did you?"
Zhao Tianhe had indeed thought it was like that.
Suddenly, he felt very anxious.
"What happens if you do poorly on the exams?"
Zhao Tianlei knew about this; last year, one of his classmates had failed an exam and had to retake it.
"Retake it, but you have to pay a retake fee. If you fail the retake, after three tries, you’ll have to repeat the course."
Zhao Tianhe really wanted to say that he had no idea.
He had only attended primary school, never made it to junior high, and didn’t know that night school would have exams too.
"Third Brother, I feel like I don’t understand a lot of things, what am I going to do?"
Now you’re finally feeling anxious?
"Then just study more, that’s all."
Zhao Tianhe felt like crying.
He still didn’t recognize many characters, as he was currently learning to read while listening to the teacher.
"It’s getting late, I’m going back to my room." Zhao Tianlei didn’t care about Zhao Tianhe’s breakdown and turned to leave.
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, what should I do?"
Fang Chaoyang looked helplessly at Zhao Tianhe, who wasn’t afraid of anything except studying.
Going to night school was something Third Brother had signed him up for.
"There’s still time before the finals. Just study more in your free time, and if you don’t understand something, ask us. I can’t sleep now either, so I’m going to bed."
Fang Chaoyang was busy working during the day and attending night school in the evening, which was quite tiring.
However, as his life had improved, Fang Chaoyang seemed to have grown taller and his scholarly aura was more noticeable.
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, I can’t sleep."
Thinking about the exams, Zhao Tianhe couldn’t possibly sleep.
Why didn’t anyone tell him about this beforehand?
Seeing a certain person scratching his head and being restless, Fang Chaoyang was worried he would be disturbed.
"If you can’t sleep, you can go out and go crazy. I’ll pretend I didn’t see."
Are we still brothers?
Is that something a brother should say?
"I’m going to sleep."
He had to work tomorrow; their electronics store was doing well with sales profit, though not as much as if they produced and sold their own goods.
Zhao Tianhe, unable to sleep, didn’t disturb Fang Chaoyang, whose factory work kept him busy, although his own work was somewhat easier.
Third Brother had even asked him to get a driving license.
He had quite a bit of free time.
Zhao Tianlei sent a letter back the next day, mailing it to his father.
He was worried about his mother coming to Capital City by herself.
But if someone could go back and pick her up, there would be no need to worry.
Going back to pick people up during summer vacation, and then it would be time to harvest the corn. Now his parents only farmed their own two pieces of land, and since they were old hands at it, there was absolutely no problem.
Zhang Jiandong saw that recently Zhao Tianlei’s face had a smile on it? Had the matter with the photograph just blown over?
But he thought of what Comrade Yun had said that day.
Men, they’re a dime a dozen. If one dares to betray you, just replace him.
That statement really shocked him.
And the last time Zhao Tianlei and his brother beat him up, it took several days to heal.
Zhang Jiandong wanted to go up and ask, had they made up?
Was everything settled with a written promise?
Would he be happy taking money from his partner’s hand in the future?
