It was almost evening, and Xie Meili still hadn't finished weeding her own plot of land. The scorekeeper frowned.
"Xie Meili, if you're this slow, when will Meng Xiaoli finish pulling up the soil?"
Xie Meili ignored him, which angered the scorekeeper. He saw Lin Haofei coming to the field to find Xie Meili, so he went to find Lin Haofei and told him what had happened.
Although Lin Haofei didn't know why his wife wanted to help Xiaoli with chores, he still agreed.
He first went to Xiaoli's field and finished weeding before going to find Xie Meili.
Xie Meili was quite happy to see Lin Haofei come to find her, but when she saw him coming from Xiaoli's field, where all the weeds had been pulled up, she immediately became angry and ignored Lin Haofei.
Lin Haofei was rather introverted and ignored his wife's silence, burying himself in his work.
He quickly finished weeding the field, and it was getting dark. The scorekeeper came to tally the scores, and Lin Haofei took Xie Meili home.
When they were almost home, Xie Meili finally spoke up and questioned Lin Haofei.
Why are you helping Meng Xiaoli with her work?
Lin Haofei then replied, "Didn't you agree? I only did it after the scorekeeper told me to."
Xie Meili realized that she had been tricked by the scorekeeper again. At this point, there was no use in getting angry. She had already finished her work and could only swallow her anger.
When the two returned home, Yu Meihua had already prepared dinner. She didn't make things difficult for Xie Meili in front of Lin Haofei, and the family ate their meal in peace.
That evening, after the young couple returned to their room, Xie Meili finally brought up the topic of studying.
"Review? Why do we need to review?" Lin Haofei was a little embarrassed. He wasn't cut out for studying. He dropped out of school after three years.
He joined the army at the age of 16, and over the years he has only been able to write his own name; he has forgotten everything else.
Xie Meili looked on with anticipation, "I think the college entrance examination will be reinstated someday, and I want to take it."
Lin Haofei quickly covered Xie Meili's mouth. He looked around warily and only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that no one was eavesdropping.
"Are you out of your mind? How can you say something like that so casually?"
He stared at Xie Meili with suspicion, "Do you look down on me? Do you think I'm a peasant and not good enough for you?"
Xie Meili slapped his hand away, "If I didn't like you, would I have married you?"
Lin Haofei felt a little relieved when he thought of Xie Meili's initiative during their blind date.
"Anyway, I'm not going to study. I'm not cut out for it. Don't try anything funny. What if I get reported?"
He hugged Xie Meili tightly and blew out the light.
"Aren't we living a comfortable life? Why are you studying? Just give me a big, healthy son."
Meili wanted to say something, but her mouth was covered, and only their panting could be heard in the darkness.

Xiao Li stared at Wang Hongguang. Twenty years later, this guy was still the same lazy, good-for-nothing guy. Should she just kick him out now?
You can't rely on this person your whole life; it's better to rely on yourself.
Wang Hongguang felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze. "Wife, what's wrong with you? Hehe~ Did I do something wrong?"
Since the last time he was numb by acupressure, he realized the gap between himself and Xiaoli, so he decided to be pragmatic and suffer less.
Xiao Li tentatively said, "It seems like we're not a good match..."
"Wow……"
Wang Hongguang burst into tears, “Wife, please don’t abandon me, I don’t want to leave you, can you bear to leave me all alone?”
We're so good together, so perfectly matched, please, give me a way out.
Xiao Li was speechless. Before she could even say anything, Wang Hongguang started wailing and crying.
She thought of the upcoming college entrance examination and decided to wait until then. Maybe Wang Hongguang would beg her to let him go.
"Alright, let's eat."
Wang Hongguang immediately cleaned the table, set out the food, and placed the chopsticks in Xiaoli's hands.
Xiao Li suddenly realized that if Wang Hongguang could continue to be this obedient, it wouldn't be so bad.
?
Time flew by and it was already the end of October. Sure enough, the college entrance examination was reinstated. As soon as this news came out, all the educated youth were in an uproar.
Many people took action, and the village chief even gave the educated youth and those preparing for the exams a special holiday so that they could focus on their studies. Xiao Li and Wang Hongguang were among them.
Meng Zhongyi brought over some grain, saying, "Xiao Li, you and Hong Guang can focus on your studies. Dad will bring you grain from now on."
After seeing her father off, Xiaoli pulled Wang Hongguang to sit down.
"Tell me, what are your plans?"
Wang Hongguang looked surprised. "What plans? Didn't Dad already make plans for the two of us?"
Xiao Li rolled her eyes. "Tell me your plans. What are you thinking? How are you going to get back to the city? And how are you going to handle our relationship?"
