Caihua found it hard to believe: "Can we really take the exam?"
"Yes, but it won't be too late if we take it next year or the year after, once I'm clear on the strategy."
"Then… if we indeed pass the exam, can we become teachers?"
An Yi laughed: "That's the principle, but being a teacher isn't that simple. You have to do a lot of homework; you'll see in the materials I've prepared for you."
The sisters immediately showed respect: "Sister is right; teaching and nurturing aren't jobs just anyone can handle."
The exam requires going to the county, so a week in advance, she chose classes with Teacher Song Gang, which meant for a few days she taught Chinese all morning. Other teachers felt there's nothing wrong with being a local teacher, so why take the exam?
