It was in this year that various redress and injustice work began, marking the beginning of rectifying the wrongs and restoring order.
Then, around October 1977, a red-headed document was issued from above, reinstating the college entrance examination. Upon hearing this news, all the educated youth who had gone to the countryside were overjoyed. She remembered that in the book, the educated youth, Little Gu, had registered for the college entrance examination...
Also that year, my third brother, Peng Chengfan, fell seriously ill. Even with the meticulous care of young Gu Zhiqing, the child, less than ten years old, grew increasingly weak. From that year on, the child was frequently ill.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" San Tiao was keenly aware of his mother's vague gaze on him and her sudden change of mood.
"It's okay." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled at San Tiao. With so much good stuff in the system, their San Tiao was now a healthy boy. Although not quite this tall, he was sturdy and had a strong foundation...
"Yeah." Peng San Tiao nodded gently. If Mom says it's okay, then it's okay. Mom never lies...

After the Lantern Festival, the kids went to school. On this day, all the older brothers went to school, so Jiu Tiao and Fei Hei sat on a small stool in the yard, looking out.
"Jiu Tiao, what are you doing? Why didn't you go out to play today?" You Yumei passed by the door and saw a little head moving up and down. She wiped her hands and stroked it.
"Mom is out, I'm staying at home to look after the house." Jiu Tiao looked at You Yumei with sparkling eyes.
Hahaha. You Yumei was so amused by the serious little kid in front of her. If someone were to steal this cute little kid, maybe the first one to be put in the sack would be this nine-striped kid...
"Where are you going, Aunt Yumei?" Jiu Tiao asked in a baby voice, supporting his little head.
"Go home and change the bucket." You Yumei looked at the talkative boy and couldn't help but stroke him again, "Jiu Tiao, didn't San Hai come to play with you today?"
"I told him to go back and look after the house." Jiujo waved his hands. After hearing Sanhai say that no one was home today, he asked Shijo to take Sanhai home. "Don't let anyone steal the house."
You Yumei burst out laughing again after hearing what Jiu Tiao said. She found that the children in Zhenzhu's family were all so charming... "That's right, we can't let anyone steal our house. Jiu Tiao, take good care of it. I'm going back first."
"Yes! I will!" Jiu Tiao nodded, waved to his Aunt Yumei, and his little head slowly disappeared...
You Yumei was walking and laughing, but when she got home she remembered that she forgot to ask Jiu Tiao Zhenzhu what she had been doing recently. There was nothing to do at this time.
There really wasn't much work. Cheng Zhenzhu had actually found some work for herself. She was working on a big project.
Ever since she'd followed the otters to the cave and obtained some crystal ore, she'd gone up the mountain several times, hoping to reach the end of the map through the cave. But she couldn't find any hidden path, so she decided to just use an axe to carve a hole through...
It has been two weeks since the Lantern Festival, and victory is almost in sight.
"Bang bang bang~" Cheng Zhenzhu was full of energy and swung one axe after another.
"Mmmmm~" Several otters looked at Cheng Zhenzhu, who was busy and happily eating delicious fish in the cave. Their expressions were so beautiful. They liked this generous human!
"Oh, oh, oh~ You really don't need our help?" The female otter picked up a fish and squatted in front of Cheng Zhenzhu to take a look.
"No need. You've worked hard helping me move the ore. Take a rest first." Cheng Zhenzhu swung two axes and fed the otters two fish and some shellfish.
"Oh, oh, thank you~" When a few otters saw that there were still their favorite shellfish, they bowed with their black paws and ate more happily around the basin.
They deliberately saved the shellfish for last, smashed them open one by one with stones, and then took a bite, feasting on them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
"Boom boom boom~Boom boom boom~"
After ninety-nine and eighty-one hammer strikes, the mountain wall that Cheng Zhenzhu had asked the otters to choose for her was finally broken into with a loud "bang", and a big hole was created.
Soft sunlight shone through the cave entrance, and the vision of the man and several otters suddenly became clear.
Cheng Zhenzhu took two steps forward, and a small emerald green lake with a mysterious color suddenly came into view.
There is a lake here?
No, to be more precise, it should be a pond. The water in the pond was emerald green, and the surrounding mountains were rolling and the trees were towering. The early spring air felt warm and comfortable... Cheng Zhenzhu took in the beautiful scenery before her and felt like a hunter who had accidentally intruded and disturbed this beautiful and quiet place.
This pool looks perfect for a bath...
"Our home is right here!" the female otter pointed to Cheng Zhenzhu.
"Your house is so beautiful." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the picturesque place, amazed and shocked. I had thought that Sanshi Island, nestled between mountains and water, was already beautiful, but I didn't expect that there would be another world in the high green mountains...
"It's okay! There are still a lot of big rocks below, and we can't move them up..." The otters were already accustomed to this scene, but they were more concerned about the rocks. After all, every time they gave away rocks, they would get a lot of delicious food.
"Oh, oh, oh, go ahead, walk ahead." Seeing that the humans in front of them seemed to be lost, they pulled each other forward one by one.
"Well, let's go and take a look." After enjoying the beautiful scenery, Cheng Zhenzhu, led by several otters, arrived at the place where they said there were a lot of minerals, which was the target location circled on the map.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the location that overlapped with the end point on the map and put the map into space.
"Ming ming ming~" When they arrived at the place, several otters were freely moving around in the cracks between the big and small rocks, showing their joy.
"Is it very big?" asked the female otter.
It is really very big... Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, picked up a large hexagonal crystal stone, and put it under the sunlight. The crystal clear and exquisite halo was so beautiful that it was touching.
It's so big that it can be polished into dozens of crystal beads... Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the huge stone with a big hole in it and was a little hesitant about whether to put the things into the space.
There were so many stones that she doubted there was enough space to store them.
Another thing is that these crystal mines haven't been polished yet. They are just rough stones for now and are not suitable for storing in her well-decorated three-bedroom apartment...
"Host, if you use sea coins to buy some experience points, the space can be upgraded." Xiao Qi, who had been lying down for a long time, came online and gave his experience points, "The upgrade direction may be to expand the area or something like that."
