Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 426: This Is the Only Path to the Light

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: This Is the Only Path to the Light

Shen Jinju copied the Chinese test paper overnight, worked on it seriously early in the morning, eagerly awaiting results.

Dong Liangcheng finally came back.

She asked anxiously, "How was it? How was it? What’s the score?"

Chinese was the subject Shen Jinju excelled at, and she believed nothing was too difficult for her.

Back in school, she used to write excellent essays and often received praise from teachers.

After Dong Liangcheng recovered, he was actually quite aware of many things; he said nothing and handed her the test paper Xu Qinghuan had marked.

Shen Jinju compared the paper and revised it. Excluding the essay, her score and Dong Liangcheng’s were quite similar.

Regarding the essay, she thought Dong Liangcheng’s wasn’t bad either, "What’s wrong with this essay, why did it only get a few points?"

This was essentially sympathetic scoring.

Dong Liangcheng said, "The thesis wasn’t broken down well, the idea wasn’t strong, and it was written haphazardly."

Shen Jinju severely doubted herself.

She felt she wasn’t that bad, surely Xu Qinghuan had made a mistake.

"Is there an answer key for this paper?" Shen Jinju asked.

"Yes," Dong Liangcheng replied with words he had learned, "It’s the standard answer."

Shen Jinju rubbed her brow, "Liangcheng, will we... be able to pass?"

Dong Liangcheng previously lacked confidence, but now he had it, "We can."

Only then did Shen Jinju notice the books he brought back, "So many, this is the complete Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series, did Xu Qinghuan give these to you?"

Dong Liangcheng nodded, pursing his lips, "Finishing these books should be enough. We’ll do it together."

"Okay."

Dong Liangcheng started writing essays, Shen Jinju was modifying the test papers beside him, occasionally attending to their child after he woke up.

When he finished the essay, he attended to the child, while Shen Jinju looked at Dong Liangcheng’s essay.

Dong Liangcheng explained the essay’s analysis, thesis breakdown, and idea development knowledge to her, leaving Shen Jinju dazed, "Xu Qinghuan must be a true intellectual, right?"

She laughed at herself, "Though we studied a few years, we learned nothing in school. How can we be called intellectuals?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

These things Dong Liangcheng explained were beyond what any of Shen Jinju’s teachers would teach, at that moment, she felt all the books she read were fake.

"Don’t dwell on it, study hard, it’s still possible," Dong Liangcheng comforted her.

"Yes, we will together!" Shen Jinju thought, then noticed the meat, canned food, and sugar on the table, asking, "In the morning, I asked you to bring these to Xu Qinghuan, why didn’t you?"

"She didn’t want them."

"Then after this..."

Dong Liangcheng was patting the child, looking at her, "Don’t bother with these later, she’s not that kind of person."

Before becoming a team leader, Dong Liangcheng learned many life lessons from Shen Jinju and later mainly learned from Jiang Xingye.

Jiang Xingye was also very willing to advise him, explaining many things clearly.

He genuinely wanted to thank that couple.

But he also knew this was an insult to them.

Shen Jinju cherished the learning opportunity, especially when Dong Liangcheng would explain the questions she got wrong thoroughly, all of which were learned from Xu Qinghuan.

His notes were extremely detailed.

"Organize your wrong questions well, try to do plenty of similar ones in math, physics, and chemistry."

Shen Jinju opened the first volume of Algebra from the Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry Series, it contained answers, very clean, as if the answers were copied.

But flipping further, one could still find some complex problems, with calculation processes written beside them.

Even so, Shen Jinju found it difficult to solve them, she hadn’t done enough exercises.

This was a common ailment among intellectuals of this era, compared to the true intellectuals emerging from the sea of exercises in later generations, those of this era were lacking.

The child was very young, played a while, fed, and then needed a nap.

Both parents slept late last night, but couldn’t bring themselves to waste time sleeping now, Shen Jinju worked on math, Dong Liangcheng on physics, his knowledge either learned from Shen Jinju or self-learned, was quite shaky.

Fortunately, there were textbooks at home, collected through Shen Jinju’s efforts, some she used, others she’d traded for, and others obtained from recycling stations, all intact.

Xu Qinghuan told Dong Liangcheng that if a problem couldn’t be solved, it surely involved some unsolid foundational knowledge.

So when tackling physics problems, he would check the book whenever the problems mentioned certain knowledge points, pondering over them repeatedly.

However, sometimes he couldn’t even identify the knowledge point involved in the problem.

The next day was New Year’s Eve, Dong Liangcheng originally felt uneasy disturbing Xu Qinghuan, but Shen Jinju didn’t want to waste any day, "They’re probably not busy, might go ahead to Jiang Family for the New Year’s dinner, you take a walk near the door, if there’s a chance, ask;

She mentioned yesterday for you to bring the essay today, it wouldn’t be right not to go."

Moved by her words, Dong Liangcheng went over and found Zheng Siqi and several others gathered around an Eight Immortals table, working on copies of the tests Jiang Xingye had done, both copying questions and solving them.

Xu Qinghuan spotted him, waved him over, took the essay, "By the way, the two test papers you did earlier, bring them out later for everyone to work on."

"Okay."

Xu Qinghuan made some corrections to his essay, explaining the changes, as Dong Liangcheng listened attentively.

"Captain, could you let us see your essay for advice?" Qiao Xinyu asked curiously.

Dong Liangcheng looked at Xu Qinghuan.

"It’s written very well. Follow the modifications I just said, and show them, let everyone learn from it."

Light shone in Dong Liangcheng’s eyes.

Dong Liangcheng decided to stay here to write the essay.

Shen Jinju was waiting at home, with her husband not returning, guessing he stayed at Jiang Family, feeling anxious but didn’t dare bring her child over.

She feared if Xu Qinghuan got displeased, she would stop teaching Dong Liangcheng, and relying on themselves alone wasn’t something Shen Jinju dared to risk now.

After understanding the true intellectuals, Shen Jinju knew their knowledge was beyond her small understanding.

She took her child to the educated youth house, where several newly arrived female educated youths formed a cliques, Duan Qingmei was isolated.

Not wanting to converse with Duan Qingmei, they weren’t familiar.

In the male educated youths’ quarters, Lu Mingxu was reading books, Shen Jinju approached, "Lu Youth, what are you reading?"

Lu Mingxu showed the cover briefly; it was a high school math book, self-learning, with part of the Algebra’s third volume from Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry Series completed beside him.

"Is this bought by you or given by your sister?"

Lu Mingxu glanced at Shen Jinju, noncommittal, asking, "Shen Youth, is there anything?"

"Nothing, just asking."

This Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry Series, he noticed Zheng Siqi and the others had it, then inquired about it; they said it was borrowed from Xu Youth, he rented it with money but Zheng Siqi and others lend it to him for free.

He knew they did so due to Xu Qinghuan.

This was the only road leading to light.
