Rebirth begins with an arranged marriage

Chapter 86 Knocking Out a Mouth of Teeth

Tang Huaiyi had no reason to beat around the bush with Teacher Chen, who had helped him before.

"Teacher Chen, I scored 650 points, second in the whole school."

"Li Xiujuan scored 626, ranking fourth in the entire school."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dahe was overjoyed: "Six hundred and fifty points? With that score, you're almost guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University!"

"This year's total science score is 690. The cutoff score for key universities is 518, and the cutoff score for regular universities is 435. Our province has a large population, and the competition for university admission is fierce. Even with a score of 438, it is difficult to get into university. It is estimated that you need a score of 460 or higher to get into university, and a score of 540 or higher to consider key universities."

"With your and Li Xiujuan's grades, you're guaranteed a spot in a top university, and getting into a school like Peking University, Fudan University, or Tsinghua University isn't out of the question."

Seeing Teacher Chen's optimistic tone, Tang Huaiyi could only remind him that this exam was far from comparable to the college entrance examination.

Teacher Chen nodded: "Even so, it can be considered as laying a good foundation."

"Tang Huaiyi, your current grades really make your teacher very proud."

"Keep studying hard, maintain your current momentum, and strive to get into a top university during the college entrance exam. Then you will truly change your destiny."

Tang Huaiyi sincerely thanked Teacher Chen and his wife: "Teacher, Teacher's wife, without your support, I might have dropped out of school in my first year of high school."

"I really thank you all for getting this far."

"You're too kind!" Chen Dahe said with a smile. "As a teacher, it's only natural for me to help my students; it's what I should do. It's just that my abilities are limited. There are some students I've been able to help, and others I haven't been able to."

"That's right, that's right, don't be shy."

The teacher's wife smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that now. Tell me how your third uncle and Teacher Xu got married?"

Tang Huaiyi laughed and said, "It's nothing. It just happened that I had this idea in my mind. My third uncle in the countryside also suffers a lot of gossip. The older he gets, the less likely he is to find a wife. He is very distressed."

"Teacher Xu just happened to be short of a man to help with the household, so she got bullied."

"I thought I could put in a good word for them, and to my surprise, my third uncle and third aunt felt they were a good match, so the matter was settled."

Uncle Tang Zhengcai is so obsessed with his wife that he's almost delirious. His greatest strength is that he doesn't have the chauvinism of this era. He genuinely cares for his family, is truly obedient to his wife, and is even willing to risk everything to protect his home.

This is exactly what Teacher Xu needs.

In fact, after observing her these past few days, Ms. Xu has a rosy complexion and smiling eyes, clearly indicating that this wedding was very happy.

"I stopped crying when I saw Teacher Xu. They seem to be living a comfortable life," Teacher Xu's wife said, then suddenly remembered something and smiled at Teacher Chen.

Teacher Xu is living a very comfortable life...

At first, Teacher Chen was confused, but then she gradually came to her senses and glared back: What, you want to try it too?

The master's wife raised an eyebrow and retorted: With your three tricks, do you think I'm afraid of you?

"Are you two talking dirty with your eyes...?" Tang Huaiyi was speechless, feeling that even braised pork wasn't this greasy. He quickly took his leave with Li Xiujuan.

After the two left the school gate, the entire school and its surroundings were already deserted.

A series of "whooshing" sounds came from afar. Teacher Tian rode up on his motorcycle and, upon seeing Tang Huaiyi and Li Xiujuan, immediately stopped. "Tang Huaiyi, Li Xiujuan, why are you two only leaving now?"

"I had a meal with Mr. Chen," Tang Huaiyi explained. "He's Mr. Chen Dahe from our first year of high school, and he used to be our homeroom teacher."

Teacher Tian nodded in realization: "Okay, you can go back now. Be careful on your way."

He then rode his motorcycle into the campus.

After walking a short distance, Tang Huaiyi said, "I want to buy some meat and eggs to take back... Are they still available in Donghe Township this afternoon? Should I buy them from the county?"

"There's a butcher shop in front of the township government that's open even when it's not market day. They should also sell eggs there," Li Xiujuan said. "I'll buy them when I get back, so it won't be inconvenient to carry them on the way."

Tang Huaiyi didn't say anything more, and the two walked out along the road in the county town.

After passing the county supply and marketing cooperative and the main road, we arrived at the county bus station.

A pitch-black coal train passed by on the tracks a few hundred meters away, while a dirty passenger car stopped not far away.

The salesperson leaned against the car door, cracking sunflower seeds in the dusty air, and occasionally calling out to customers.

"Anyone going to Liuxi? If you're there, just drive off!"

"Here we go to the provincial capital! No stops along the way, we can poop and pee right away, straight to the provincial capital!"

Amidst the clamor of various sizes, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in front of the station, exceptionally young and particularly jarring.

Tang Huaiyi frowned slightly after just one glance.

In front of a low, unassuming little house hung a brightly colored sign that read, "Watch videos of 'Shaolin Temple,' 'Junior Brother Takes the Lead,' and 'The Chase.'"

The smaller print below reads: "Newly arrived exciting and action-packed video, please watch."

In front of this unassuming little video arcade, three bicycles were parked.

Zhao Weimin and two others were surrounding He Genbao, chatting and laughing about something.

He Genbao lowered his head and remained silent.

The more silent they remained, the more Zhao Weimin and the other two pushed and shoved them, and they even started fighting.

Has Zhao Weimin gone even further?

"Hey, Tang Huaiyi!"

Zhao Weimin was speaking with a smile when he suddenly turned around and saw Tang Huaiyi. He smiled even more broadly: "Where are you going? Home from school? Why didn't you take a carriage home today?"

Tang Huaiyi said calmly, "You're just bullying him like this, have you thought about the consequences? You two don't seem to have any deep-seated hatred for each other, do you?"

"as a result of?"

Zhao Weimin chuckled: "Let me tell you, in our high school, people like you really have no right to talk to me about consequences."

"Besides, I'm trying to be friends with him, aren't I? I invited him to smoke, drink, and watch videos, and he refused. Does that mean he doesn't consider me a friend?"

Looking at Zhao Weimin's arrogant demeanor, Tang Huaiyi thought to himself that he was quite clever, having figured out that he and He Genbao were just ordinary poor people, yet he dared to speak and act like this. He certainly didn't act this way towards his teachers, Guan Xiaolin, and Wang Man.

"If He Genbao listens to you completely and becomes your so-called friend, starting next week, won't you have to order him around doing something to repay you?"

"Zhao Weimin, what are you planning to have him do?"

"Is this a trap set for Guan Xiaolin, or for me? After all, we're both in Class 1 of Senior Year 3. Using He Genbao is convenient for you, isn't it?"

Zhao Weimin's face gradually darkened as he stared at Tang Huaiyi.

"Tang Huaiyi, you'd better shut your sharp tongue!"

"This isn't school. Being a good student is useless here. I'll knock all your teeth out if you're not careful!"
