Although the exam is over, the results are still worrying.
The school has already gone on winter vacation, and Bai Yongjun has also begun his days of idling at home waiting for news, not to mention other people.
Fortunately, everyone was not just waiting for news, but also knew that life had to go on. However, perhaps because they were worried about something, they were always extremely lazy at work.
Du Jiang didn't know about the others, but he could clearly see them from Yu Chunxiao and the three brothers Guan Chuan who were always hanging around him.
Looking at the people who had once again picked the wrong vegetables, Du Jiang gave Huo Yang a helpless look and said, "Don't worry about it."
Seeing this, Huo Yang looked at the watch on his wrist, then said, "Since you are alright, follow me up the mountain. I have made two bows in the meantime, why don't we go and try our skills."
Maybe boys are very fond of bows and arrows, so Huo Yang didn't need to say anything. One by one, they stood up from their chairs and sat around Huo Yang. Du Jiang looked at the chattering people, thought for a moment, and directly pulled Yu Chunxiao back to the house to get the backpack, shovel and sickle.
Although there are no wild vegetables on the mountain now, there are other good things, such as wild yam, which is also a good thing. Although it is hard to find, it is not impossible.
Instead of worrying about grades at home, it's better to go out and relax. Du Jiang, having figured it out, turned his head and looked at Yu Chunxiao, who was looking troubled, and chuckled softly, "Just think of it as a way to relax. Instead of worrying all the time, why not adjust your mood? Otherwise, you will suffer."
Du Jiang's words were indeed true. Yu Chunxiao didn't hesitate when she heard that. She took the basket and shovel from Du Jiang and nodded, saying, "I'll listen to Sister Jiang. By the way, Sister Jiang, which school did you choose?"
"As for me, I'm in Cangzhou. You know that's where my hometown is." Du Jiang didn't hide her ambition. "And the most important thing is that if it succeeds, we can also bring the old couple back with us."
"That's true. Returning to one's roots is our tradition," Yu Chunxiao said, not surprised. "My grades were average, and I chose a local university. I'm not sure if it will work out."
"That's no problem. You've reviewed well," Du Jiang said as he put the backpack on his back and led Yu Chunxiao out.
Huo Yang and his friends in the courtyard had almost finished packing up. Seeing Du Jiang and Yu Chunxiao coming out, they all walked towards the mountain.
It has to be said that the best way to divert attention is to find something to do. In order to prevent everyone from being impatient and to try the feasibility of bows and arrows, several people traveled through the mountains for several days and found a lot of good things, enough for everyone to have a good year.
However, as the end of the year approaches, the method of diverting attention is no longer effective. Everyone is anxiously waiting at home. Even if they are not at home, they often go to the post office or the village entrance, for fear of missing the person who brings the news.
However, Du Jiang and Huo Yang were exceptions. Seeing the anxiety of Yuan Chunxiao and the others, they were more open-minded. Without being disturbed by outsiders, the couple simply left Huo Xingle at Huo Ze's house in town and continued to go up the mountain.
"Are you really going to hunt wild boars? I remember you have some in there, right?" Du Jiang looked at the big pit in front of him, very puzzled. "Wild boars live in groups, and your pit isn't that big."
"I know," Huo Yang nodded, looking at the large pit in front of him that could only accommodate half a person. "If prey falls in, the smell of blood will attract others. There are datura flowers underneath, which can paralyze them. As long as I'm watching over it, everything will be fine."
"You'd better be careful. I heard wolves howling when I went up the mountain a few days ago. I'm afraid a pack of wolves are coming down the mountain today," Du Jiang said and looked around cautiously. Unfortunately, there were only lush trees and he couldn't see anything.
"The wolves are a problem," Huo Yang frowned. "Forget it, let's give it a try. Otherwise, there will only be pheasants and rabbits. The rabbits in the ranch are multiplying more and more. I'm almost tired of eating them."
"There's nothing I can do about it, but after I get the notice and leave here, I can take the opportunity to do some things." Although Du Jiang had never seen the ranch in person, he still knew something about it through Huo Yang's description and drawings. He glanced enviously at the guy squatting on the ground busying himself. Du Jiang's envy was simply beyond words.
Perhaps Du Jiang's gaze was too fiery, causing Huo Yang to turn around and look over. He immediately laughed out loud, "Why are you so envious? What's mine is yours, isn't it?"
"How can they be the same? I can't go in. To be honest, the picture you drew is too similar to the place we stayed before," Du Jiang said with some emotion. "Maybe it's God's mercy that brought that ranch here too."
"Yes, God is actually fair." Huo Yang sighed for a while and then continued to work. After everything was ready, he pulled Du Jiang down the mountain.
When they got home, Huo Yang caught two rabbits from the ranch and expertly skinned and cleaned them. Du Jiang, looking at the vegetable patch in the yard, sighed, "Winter is definitely not the best time to grow medicinal herbs."
"That can't be helped. These are all grown in summer, so they won't be able to withstand the cold in winter. But don't bother. I'll throw them all in later and plant them when I go back after the New Year." Huo Yang said with a frown, "By the way, Xingle has been staying at Dad's for quite a while, I wonder if he misses us."
Du Jiang curled his lips at this and said, "He's a guy who only cares about whoever gives him milk. He definitely wouldn't want to have anything delicious to eat or drink. I think he's just having so much fun that he doesn't want to leave."
"That's true," Huo Yang agreed. "I'll go to town to pick it up tomorrow and take care of my work. I should be able to earn around eight or nine hundred yuan."
"Aren't you going to wait a little longer? What if you fail the exam?"
"Don't worry, if you can't do it, just take the exam next year." Huo Yang shook the blood stains on his hands nonchalantly. "It's something that needs to be dealt with sooner or later anyway. It doesn't make any difference whether it's a year earlier or later."
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." Knowing Huo Yang had made up his mind, Du Jiang stopped trying to stop him. "Before the New Year, I'll go to Sister Sun's place to buy some medicinal herbs and use up my soon-to-expire cloth coupons. It's a good opportunity to see if I can buy some cotton."
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yang shook his head to stop Du Jiang's plan, "I'll go buy it, you stay at home, I guess the notice will be issued in the next few days."
"So fast," Du Jiang turned his head in surprise, "It wasn't long after the exam."
"There's nothing I can do. Time is short and the task is heavy. If I'm not mistaken, school will start in February or March after the New Year." Huo Yang was quite politically savvy. "If that's the case, I'll leave right after the New Year and buy a house near the school when I get there. I'll settle down there. I estimate Dad and my uncle will be there soon too. After all, Dad has been struggling here for ten years, and it's time for him to take off again."
