More than a year passed in a flash. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination reached the village, Bai Chi had just returned from the field carrying a hoe.
The vegetable garden of Bai Chi's family is lush and green, and an old hen and a few chicks are digging for food in the vegetable garden.
There was a chicken coop made of bamboo strips next to the house. Three-year-old Ling Xi, with two pigtails and wearing a beautiful floral dress, was coming out of the chicken coop.
Seeing Bai Chi, Ling Xi rushed over with the egg in his hand.
"Look, Big Daddy, two eggs today!"
Yang Yunxiao came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, shirtless, with a towel draped over his shoulders.
"Just right, my daughter, bring the eggs. I just realized we've run out of them. I can make some egg soup and have dinner right away."
Only three years have passed since he grew from that skinny little savage in the mountains to the mature and steady tall man he is today.
Ling Xi then handed the egg to Yang Yunxiao. Yang Yunxiao held the chopsticks in one hand and the egg in the other, and knocked it on the edge of the pot, and the egg fell into the freshly boiled vegetable soup.
Beat two eggs in and stir them a few times with chopsticks, and the egg drop soup is ready.
"Achi, there's water at the door. Wash your hands and take a rest before dinner. The kitchen is very hot, so don't come in."
There are no gas stoves now, only earth stoves that burn firewood. It is comfortable in winter, but cooking in summer is a torture. As soon as the fire is lit, I start sweating profusely.
After preparing a meal, you feel like you have been fished out of the water.
Bai Chi originally found cooking troublesome, so he directly handed this important task to Yang Yunxiao. He would rather work in the fields every day.
It’s hot in the summer, so the food is simple: a bowl of cold shredded vegetables, a bowl of vegetable and egg soup, a bowl of brown rice, and a bowl of bacon and wild vegetables.
It was even hotter in the kitchen, so we took the food directly to the next room. The front door and back windows were open, and a cool breeze blew through the room, making it instantly cooler.
"Achi, someone came to borrow a book again today, but the person who borrowed it before hasn't returned it yet."
Yang Yunxiao washed his face with cold water, wet the towel on his shoulder, wiped the sweat off his body, and finally felt comfortable.
Bai Chi was also hungry, so he ate a few mouthfuls of rice to fill his stomach before he had the energy to talk.
"Just received a broadcast saying that the national college entrance examination has resumed. All students are advised to prepare. There will be more people wanting to borrow books in the future."
Yang Yunxiao was stunned: "College entrance examination?"
He had hardly ever been to school. Although he had learned a lot from Bai Chi in the past few years, it was limited to reading, recognizing words and understanding principles.
As for those astronomical figures in mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., I didn't learn anything at all and couldn't learn them at all.
No wonder Yang Yunxiao was confused when he first heard about the college entrance examination.
Bai Chi explained it to him.
"If I can take the college entrance examination, I can leave these ten-mile mountains and return to the city."
Yang Yunxiao understood and immediately frowned: "What about me? Ah Chi, do I have to learn it too?"
That would be too painful. Is there no way to leave the village without taking the college entrance examination?
How could Bai Chi not know what he was thinking?
For Yang Yunxiao, reading is like listening to a foreign language. He is considered amazing just because he can recognize words. Bai Chi does not expect him to take the college entrance examination because he will snore if he reads two more pages no matter when or where.
"If you don't want to study, then don't study. If I pass the exam, you and Xi'er can come with me."
Yang Yunxiao's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to put a large chopstick of bacon into Baichi's bowl.
"Achi is the best. You study hard, so eat more meat."
Bai Chi was helpless. This guy looked silly, but he was actually very smart and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He only pretended to be silly to show off to the outside world.
In recent years, there are still people who want to arrange marriages for them, including Bai Chi and Yang Yunxiao.
Especially at the beginning, everyone thought that the wedding was a joke. Seeing that Yang Yunxiao was good at hunting, many people wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law.
Every time, Yang Yunxiao would smile innocently and tell others that he was married to Achi and could not marry anyone else.
At first, everyone explained that two men could not really get married.
But later everyone gradually realized, who said there was no such thing?
It was obvious that these two were living together. Some people even said that they accidentally saw Yang Yunxiao kissing Ling Zhiqing!
The gossip quickly spread throughout the village, but that was all it was.
After all, it has been a long time since the wedding, and the heat has long since subsided.
It is not uncommon for two men to live together, but they just don't get married.
And now, not only their village, but even people in the surrounding area seem to know that Yang Yunxiao and Ling Baichi are living together and raising children.
But none of this matters. What matters is that Bai Chi has found a way to get him, Yang Yunxiao, and Ling Xi on the same household registration book.
Although they are not husband and wife, but brothers and daughter with different surnames.
But it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he does have a way to bring Yang Yunxiao and Ling Xi to the city after taking the college entrance examination.
It just so happens that Xier is three years old and can go to kindergarten.
