Chapter 87: Peaches and Rotten Peaches

In late June, the sun was scorching and the ground was like a steamer.

Even at night, they may not be able to sleep well, which is even more unbearable for students who are about to embark on the battlefield of the college entrance examination.

I have already learned what I should learn and practiced what I should practice. I really hope that tomorrow will be the college entrance examination. Whether I succeed or fail, I will just be happy.

Xia Yue hasn't slept well for two days.

The "Algebra" that Lu Jingyao promised her arrived several days late, and the several volumes of "Plane Geometry" and "Solid Geometry" that she mentioned later were never sent.

This completely disrupted Xia Yue's plan, because even though these self-study books are very helpful for self-study, they still take time to digest.

The time of more than a month was very tight, so Xia Yue found Teacher Hu and worked overtime to sort out the key knowledge, and only then did she have a general grasp of it.

As for the self-study geometry book that came later, she no longer had any hope.

I have sent several urgent letters and telegrams, but there is still no news. That means Lu Jingyao has broken his promise.

"Alas~"

Xia Yue sighed, and when she saw that it was already getting light outside the window, she fell into a deep sleep.

But she didn't know that Lu Jingyao, who was thousands of miles away, had also been feeling uncomfortable for several days.

Lu Jingyao originally got a part of the "Self-study Series" from Liu Muhan. Only an educated family like Liu Muhan's could have such scarce books.

But the several volumes of "Geometry" that Lu Jingyao promised to Xia Yue were obtained from a senior.

But in the end, the other party broke the contract and the storyteller had already lent the book to someone else.

This made Lu Jingyao very embarrassed, so she had to ask Liu Muhan again to see if she could buy it indirectly.

But at this time when the college entrance examination is approaching, where can you buy such a scarce product? Liu Muhan has no idea.

In desperation, Lu Jingyao had to write to Xia Yue to explain the situation, but before her letter arrived, Xia Yue's letter and telegram arrived one after another.

Looking at the impatient and urgent sentences in the letters and telegrams, Lu Jingyao suddenly felt it was absurd.

"I can't help you, am I guilty?"

This made Lu Jingyao very uncomfortable. Xia Yue was once her best friend, so why did she become so extreme now?

It just so happened that Lu Jingyao had also started her final exams. She worked so hard but got no results, which made her suddenly feel very tired.

He returned to the dormitory in a depressed mood, washed his face with water, and did not review his lessons as usual. He just fell headfirst onto the bed.

Liu Muhan, who was sleeping on the upper bunk next to him, noticed something was wrong, leaned down halfway, and asked, "You look weak? Are you sick?"

Lu Jingyao shook her head: "No, I'm just a little tired."

Liu Muhan glanced at him for a few seconds and said, "Are you sure you don't need my comfort?"

Lu Jingyao smiled and said, "Just take care of yourself! I'm fine."

Liu Muhan shrank back quickly and lay on the bed to read the novel again.

Lu Jingyao glanced at it unintentionally, her eyes fixed, and she asked, "Mu Han, haven't you read the book "Lush" a long time ago?"

Liu Muhan narrowed his eyes and said, "I've read it twice, but this kind of novel is quite interesting. You should finish reading it! Many of the details are quickly forgotten, but it's quite interesting when you read it again."

"Very interesting?"

"Yes, it's a very novel writing style, different from traditional literature and martial arts, it's very unconventional and innovative. This Seven-inch Blade must be a very interesting person."

Lu Jingyao was stunned for a long time, and Li Ye's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, but he did not seem to have anything to do with the word "interesting".

Before this winter, Li Ye was silly and wanted to stick to me all the time, which was annoying.

Li Ye was cold this winter, keeping people at a distance and avoiding himself.

It's like a different person between the two.

Or maybe the person didn't change, just a cold heart.

Lu Jingyao suddenly asked inexplicably, "Mu Han, do you think that Seven-inch Blade can be admitted to Beijing University?"

Liu Muhan, who was reading a book, said subconsciously: "Peking University? That's hard to say. It's true that Seven Inch Blade can write novels, but being able to write novels doesn't necessarily prove that his Chinese grades are good enough, let alone other things..."

Liu Muhan paused here, then she flipped down from the upper bunk like a nimble monkey and jumped onto Lu Jingyao's bed.

"You said Seven-Inch Blade wants to apply to Kyoto University?"

"I didn't. I was just asking."

Who is Liu Muhan? She is best at capturing people's subtle emotions and she could see the panic in Lu Jingyao's eyes at a glance.

Girls in the early 1980s still had a liking for poets and writers, so Liu Muhan immediately became excited.

"The author of Seven-Inch Blade is a young writer from Dongshan Province. You are also from Dongshan Province. Tell me, do you know him?"

“.”

Lu Jingyao didn't say anything, but Liu Muhan could see the fluctuation in her eyes.

"You are very familiar with the Seven-Inch Blade, right?"

“.”

Liu Muhan was really surprised. He pushed Lu Jingyao onto the bed and said excitedly, "Tell me, what does that seven-inch blade look like? Is it an old man or a middle-aged man?"

Lu Jingyao didn't say anything, or she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth because of the bitterness.

Liu Muhan asked in surprise: "Jingyao, what's wrong with you?"

After Lu Jingyao was silent for a long time, she smiled awkwardly and said, "He is my former classmate."

“.”

Liu Muhan was also stunned, and it took him several seconds to react.

She widened her eyes and asked Lu Jingyao: "Your ex-boyfriend?"

Lu Jingyao remained silent, which was considered as her agreement.

Liu Muhan was speechless for a long time before he couldn't help asking, "Is he ugly?"

Lu Jingyao shook her head.

Liu Muhan asked again: "Is he very short? Very dark? Does he have any special problems?"

Lu Jingyao smiled in confusion and said simply, "He is 1.8 meters tall and looks better than Lin Qiang! But he is not someone I like anyway."

“.”

Liu Muhan stared at Lu Jingyao blankly for a long time, then slowly got off Lu Jingyao's bed and slowly climbed back to his upper bunk.

As he crawled, he muttered, "You even disliked the peaches from the Queen Mother. It's up to you how you choose the rotten peaches and apricots in the future. You're in trouble!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

July 7, 1983, the 17th day of the fifth lunar month in the year of Renxu, is a good day for getting married, opening a business, praying, and traveling. It is not a good day for digging wells, cutting wood, and raising livestock.

At around five in the morning, Han Chunmei quietly got up, pushed away the arms wrapped around her body, put on her clothes quickly, and went to the kitchen.

Today is Li Ye's college entrance examination day. She returned home two days ago, so she has to prepare breakfast early.

But when Han Chunmei entered the kitchen, she found that her mother-in-law Wu Juying had already started working.

She smiled awkwardly and hurried over to help.

She is not a lazy daughter-in-law. Today, the mother-in-law is just being unusually diligent.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated silently, one kneaded the dough while the other mixed the stuffing. The grate was soon filled with dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs.

It was still early and the dumplings didn't need to be put into the pot yet. Han Chunmei sat in the kitchen with Wu Juying, feeling a little awkward.

Suddenly, Wu Juying asked, "Have you gotten used to it recently?"

Han Chunmei was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I'm fine, Mom. It's all over."

Wu Juying looked fierce and said in a deep voice: "Once you enter the Li family, the Li family will not treat you badly. Since the two girls have the surname Li, I will make sure they don't suffer, but there is one thing."

"Xiao Ye is the only descendant of the Li family. If he is happy, everyone will be happy. If he is unhappy, no one will be happy."

"Yeah, I know, mom."

Han Chunmei quickly agreed. She had already figured out who would have the final say in the family from now on.

Everything has its own strengths, and in the end, after all the twists and turns, it all comes down to Li Ye.

For Li Ye's college entrance examination, the whole family revolved around him. Even his eldest sister-in-law's children were not allowed to stay overnight these days, for fear of upsetting Li Ye and affecting his exams.

Fortunately, since last year, this little devil has changed his character. Although he is sometimes domineering and scary, he has become more sensible and treats his two daughters better.

As long as you are good to your daughter, it is better than anything else.

It was almost six o'clock when Li Juan came to the kitchen with sleepy eyes. As soon as she saw Wu Juying, she instantly lost all her sleepiness and quickly started a fire, boiled water, and pulled the bellows.

My brother is taking the college entrance examination today, why am I getting up late?

At half past six, Li Ye was called up by Wu Juying. He washed, ate, and tidied his clothes three times.

"Grandma, I'm going to take an exam, not to go on a blind date. There's no need to be so serious."

"What are you talking about? Who are you dating?"

Wu Juying said unhappily, "Teacher Ke brought her daughter here that day. You better behave yourself in the future and don't let others laugh at you."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."

Li Ye took the schoolbag and pushed the cart out. The whole family came out to see him off, as if they were going to the battlefield to say goodbye to each other for life and death.

It’s the same familiar routine, first go to the county’s No. 2 Middle School, and then line up to travel.

However, this time Li Ye was assigned to Yuhong Middle School, a junior high school with much worse conditions than the county’s No. 2 Middle School.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road. Li Ye saw his bastard cousin Cui Aiguo again at Yuhong Middle School, but they were not in the same examination room.

The two lumps on the top of his head have disappeared, but if you look closely, there are still some traces. It will probably take several layers of skin shedding before they can fully recover after this summer.

"Well, I'm pretty smart. I didn't cause any trouble yesterday."

Cui Aiguo did not go to the Li family to sleep yesterday. Li Ye did not know that it was Wu Juying who had given the order not to let her grandson come to their house, and he thought that the other party was afraid of him.

But just as Li Ye had this thought, Cui Aiguo raised his left hand and showed a brand new watch.

“.”

[Are you challenging me? ]

Looking at Cui Aiguo's expression of "come and hit me if you dare", Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This bastard cousin not only inherited his father's ugly appearance, but also his sinister and scheming nature.

How stupid is it to fight in front of so many teachers at the official college entrance examination?

Li Ye just moved his hand slightly, stretched out his arm, and revealed the plum blossom watch in his sleeve.

Cui Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened and he looked like he was about to burst into flames.

Because of the Plum Blossom watch, he was beaten by Li Ye into a big-headed monster and didn't want to see anyone for many days.

Is this a waste of punishment now?

Li Ye smiled and walked into his examination room.

If your psychological quality is not up to par, don't make trouble for no reason. If your anger affects your exam, you will be the one who suffers.

The first exam is Chinese.

Li Ye had done very smoothly in the beginning, and there was nothing beyond his expectations. Occasionally, there were a few knowledge points that he had not reviewed, but he could guess them almost right after some careful thinking.

Turning to the last page of the composition, Li Ye smiled.

Composition title: "Be the first to worry about the world's worries, and be the last to enjoy the world's happiness"

History has not changed, everything is as expected.

At the same time, the other members of the small group of eight were all smiling and happy.

Li Ye organized a small group of eight people to focus on this question, and everyone had ready-made drafts in their minds.

He wrote quickly and finished it in one go.
