It was already past three in the morning when I got home. After a busy night, I gained a lot.

However, after seeing so many of these treasures, Chu Xi has become somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

When I got home, I fell asleep without saying a word.

In fact, with her physical condition, it is no problem for her to stay awake for a night. Her mental strength is so strong that she has almost recovered to the peak state of the end of the world.

She enjoys the feeling of being pampered by her mother and not having to get up in the morning...

And it was the kind of feeling where not only did they not wake you up, but they also made sure others didn't wake you up. Especially since Xiao Shitou now had someone to take care of her, her heart felt like it had returned to her childhood, and she completely relaxed...

She slept until noon, until she heard the laughter of Xiao Shitou and the others in a daze. Then she rubbed her head and slowly sat up.

After stretching lazily in a rather unpresentable manner, Chu Xi finally put on her clothes and walked out. She looked at Chu Xia and A Qiu studying in the yard, as well as Xiao Shitou who occasionally made trouble nearby. Adding to that, she looked at her mother Chu's loving gaze from afar...

Unknown birds sang happily among the dense leaves, calling friends to show off their melodious voices;

A ray of sunlight shone through the wicker chair under the grapevines, its golden glow illuminating Little Stone's flickering eyelashes...

The spider plants on the balcony stretched out their slender branches and vines, with scattered flowers...

The climate was pleasant and the scenery was harmonious. At this moment she was in a trance and couldn't help but indulge in it. The world was so beautiful!

So, Chu Xi's life began to be leisurely again in the following days, but fortunately she knew that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would be announced in August this year, so she still needed to prepare, which could be regarded as a small task for herself.

Reading, taking care of children, basking in the sun, and taking the children out for a walk when nothing happens, my life is fulfilling and comfortable.

Chuxia and Aqiu were both sensible children. Children from poor families had to take care of the family early, and they had already learned the hardships of life at a young age. So they were very grateful to Chu Xi for taking them in. In addition to helping take care of Xiao Shitou, they also took the initiative to help with the housework. Even though Chu's mother and Chu Xi had advised them countless times, the stubborn sisters never listened and just did what they had to do...

Help with cooking, cleaning, reading to Little Stone, playing with Little Stone...

With Chu Xi's silent care and the company of several others, Mother Chu's originally gray hair seemed to have darkened a bit...

From time to time, cheerful laughter could be heard in the courtyard...

Two or three months passed like this. One day, Chu Xi, lying under the grapevines again, suddenly heard the cheerful sounds on the street and could not help but activate her spiritual power...

Because their courtyard is not close to the road and there is only a small alley leading to the main road, the courtyard usually seems particularly quiet, which is exactly what Chu Xi likes.

Today, the joyous sounds seemed to be amplified countless times in an instant, breaking through the sky...

It turned out that the country had officially announced its decision to resume the national college entrance examination, which had been suspended for more than ten years, and to select talents to go to university through a unified examination and admission based on merit.

The targets of enrollment in this turning point-reinstated college entrance examination were: workers and farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres and recent high school graduates.

The Ministry of Education meeting also decided that priority will be given to key universities when enrolling students. Medical schools, teacher training colleges, and agricultural colleges will each prioritize recruiting high-performing barefoot doctors, private teachers, and agricultural science and technology activists. Graduates will be assigned positions by the state.

The whole world celebrated! This gave hope to those living in hardship, especially those educated youth who had been languishing in the harsh countryside for countless years. Hearing this news, some people must have been overjoyed.

Chu Xi was also sincerely happy for them. They finally had hope in life. You know, there were countless people who committed suicide because they couldn't stand the hardship, not to mention those who married locals or rural girls. Those were all helpless options, and they might end up staying in a remote area thousands of miles away from home for the rest of their lives.

Although she was also one of the educated youth who went to the countryside, she was already married and no longer cared about her identity as a farmer, but the dream of going to university was still there, so this might be one of the reasons why they did not have children for the time being.

Hearing the banging and hammering outside, it was quite lively. Chu Xi pulled Xiao Shitou and a few others out onto the street with great interest. Looking at this unpretentious and lively scene, and those simple faces that seemed to be infused with soul, at this moment, it seemed as if the whole society had come alive again.

Their energy erupted like a volcano, and they were extremely happy and excited...

I read reports in my previous life that this time, everyone from high school students in their teens to middle-aged men in their forties took the college entrance examination together and were selected by the motherland.

I can't help but feel emotional. It seems that my dream of going to college is not far away...

Perhaps, she had never thought about the problem of failing the exam.
