For a whole month, the candidates who took the exam were anxiously waiting.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

Huo Junshan then returned to his old trade, taking an axe and leading a few brothers and villagers up the mountain to hunt wild boars.

This might be the last time I hunt wild boars.

After the New Year, when their results come out, they will go to school in Beijing.

His and his wife's goal is to attend a university in Beijing.

He figured there shouldn't be any major problems.

He didn't know about the others.

The group took their tools and went into the mountains.

After a long day of fighting, they killed more than a dozen wild boars.

Some people carried it on their backs, while others lifted it up.

They all went down the mountain excitedly.

The captain couldn't stop smiling.

"Slaughter the pig and let the villagers come and collect the pork."

The villagers all went, banging gongs and drums.

The captain found four pig butchers.

Several women were boiling water, while others were gathering firewood.

Yun Ningyan said to her aunt, "Auntie, have you ever seen a pig being slaughtered? Do you want to go take a look?"

Auntie laughed and said, "It's too scary, let's not go. What if it frightens the two children!"

Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "It's alright. We'll take the two of them with us. By the time we get there, they'll probably be all killed."

Yun Ningyan took her child and aunt to the pig slaughterhouse.

Li Xiangyun, Zhang Hongmei, and Niu Cuicui also rushed to the slaughterhouse.

This only happens once a year, so everyone wants to join in the fun.

When she saw her grandson, she quickly took Yun Chuan from Yun Ningyan's arms.

"You go have fun, I'll take him with me."

Before long, Huo Jianshe and Huo Jianjun also took Yunxi away.

Yun Ningyan was just relaxing.

She pulled her aunt and laughed, "Auntie, look, this thing covered in black is a wild boar."

“There are plenty of wild boars in the mountains here, and they come down from the mountains every year to damage the crops.”

Every household received a considerable amount of meat.

Huo Junshan received the most and contributed the most effort.

He wasn't the only member of the Huo family; Huo Jianguo and several of his brothers also went.

The Huo family received a larger share, and no one else objected.

Huo Changgen and Huo Jianguo took the meat home.

Their family has no shortage of meat; Li Xiangyun made a lot of cured pork and sausages this year.

Ningning likes to eat sausages.

When they leave, let them take a little more than they need.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back again.

If these kids get into university, they'll have to stay in the city.

It will be difficult to see each other again after this.

The Huo family took the meat and went home.

Li Xiangyun planned to chop the meat and make dumplings.

The Huo family then got busy.

The men were in charge of chopping the filling, while the women were in charge of washing and preparing the vegetables.

Li Xiangyun was in charge of seasoning.

Yun Ningyan, Niu Cuicui, Zhang Hongying, and their aunt were responsible for taking care of the children.

The whole family was having a great time.

They were busily making dumplings, while in an office in the provincial capital.

Someone is looking at the candidates' information.

This person is Xiao Hongjun.

He knew that Ningning and Xiao Huo must have taken the exam too!

However, he wanted to confirm it again.

Old Yun has already called him and asked him to help check the grades of the two children.

To avoid being switched out later.

He has also instructed his secretary to pay close attention to the performance of the Red Star Brigade.

He had only recently taken office.

The purpose was to get back to Beijing as soon as possible.

My son also took the college entrance exam, but I don't know how he did.

Upon seeing the two names, Xiao Hongjun called to his secretary and instructed, "Tell me how these two did as soon as the results are released."

The secretary nodded.

This person is no ordinary individual; they've been making great strides all the way.

In order to promote him, their original provincial party secretary was transferred to another city.

He felt that this person was very likely to take another step up.

I really need to cling to this guy's coattails.

Huo Junshan placed a large plastic sheet in the yard.

Place the wrapped dumplings one by one in the yard.

After it freezes, rinse it with water again, freeze it again, and then you can put it directly into the ice tank.

My aunt looked on in great surprise: "You preserve dumplings like this?"

"I must say, this method is actually quite good."

This was the first time she had ever seen such a storage method.

It's truly unexpected; it's incredibly bizarre.

This is all the wisdom of ordinary people.

Before she knew it, she had almost been in the Red Star Brigade for a year.

Throughout the year, the Huo family treated her like one of their own.

She never lacked food, drink, or other necessities.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that her body was getting better and better.

Now the few gray hairs that used to be on my head are gone.

The face cream that Ningning used on her also worked very well.

Her entire face has changed drastically.

I wonder if Yingqiu will still recognize me when she sees me.

She also developed an emotional dependence on this little family.

She especially felt that the two little ones were like her own grandchildren.

The two little ones also affectionately called her Grandma.

She misses her two children terribly if she doesn't see them for even a short while.

The Huo family is large, and they are all at home now, so everyone takes turns carrying this person for a while.

Every time, her heart would clench with anxiety.

Worried about this and that.

"Auntie, Auntie, dinner's ready! What are you thinking about?"

Yun Ningyan's shout interrupted her.

She laughed and said, "No, I just think this method is pretty good."
