However, he could take the college entrance exam, but the original owner's studies were simply not good enough, and he failed the college entrance exam last year.
But even with his current status, he could still try taking the college entrance exam. After all, he was a top student in his past life, and even though he hadn't touched a textbook for several years, he was still very confident that he could get into university with average grades.
Thinking of this, he got up and looked through the original owner's high school textbooks, intending to review them first and then take the college entrance examination next year.
Six months is more than enough time; with some effort, you might even get a good score.
I might not be able to study for very long, but having this pass will make it easier to find a job later.
The thought of having to make a living by farming in the countryside was something he simply couldn't allow to happen.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a single piece of paper!
Xu Xiangyang suddenly remembered that after the original owner finished the college entrance examination, he sold his high school textbooks and then bought delicious food to eat...
What a weirdo!
He sat back down on the kang with a sigh. Given the original owner's personality, it would be strange if he really left the books behind.
However, it seems that my uncle's older brother is preparing for the college entrance exam, so he should have some high school textbooks.
He really did have to borrow it; he wasn't familiar with this family at all. Staying home these past two days wouldn't have helped him develop the original owner's personality.
The main reason was that he admired the original owner of this body too much...
He's always loafing around, never doing anything productive. While everyone else is at work or gathering firewood in the mountains, he's just lying at home or wandering around somewhere else.
"Sigh." Xu Xiangyang sighed. Being able to live again is already a blessing, and there's no room for being picky.
Just as he was about to go out to borrow a book from Xu Xiangmin, the door to the room was pushed open.
"Oh my god! It's so cold outside." A thin, small boy came in through the door, still covered in unmelted snow.
Seeing that Xu Xiangyang was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), he naturally took off his shoes and got on the kang as well.
"Hey, Dog Egg Bro, how's your head?" He rubbed his hands together and then put them under his legs to cover it.
"This kang (heated brick bed) is quite warm."
"What the hell is this dog egg?!" Xu Xiangyang had reached his limit with this nickname; he wished he could slap this dark-skinned monkey to death!
Xu Xiangyang felt very uncomfortable looking at his overly familiar manner.
This person was the original owner's playmate, and they practically grew up naked. However, this person was similar to him, both of them doing nothing but playing with cats and dogs all day.
"Blackie, don't call me Dog Egg anymore, call me Brother Xiangyang." He swallowed his breath and said to him seriously.
That's right, this skinny playmate, who looked like a monkey, was nicknamed Blackie. He truly lived up to his name—dark-skinned and mischievous.
Hei Pi was taken aback by how serious Xu Xiangyang was, but he always listened to Xu Xiangyang and did whatever he was told.
"Okay, Brother Xiangyang!"
They're pretty savvy.
Xu Xiangyang was fairly satisfied; at least he was obedient, which was good, so he decided to deal with him for the time being.
Hei Pi then said, "Brother Xiangyang, why didn't you go out to play? We went to the commune again yesterday, and they showed a movie there."
Once he started talking, he couldn't stop, and he explained the whole movie-showing process to Xu Xiangyang in great detail.
Xu Xiangyang didn't interrupt him. He needed to understand the situation of that era, so it suited his needs perfectly because Hei Pi loved to talk.
After Hei Pi finished speaking, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but ask, "It was so cold last night, you walked to the movie and then walked home, what time did you get back?"
This commune seems to be about two hours away from here, right? They must be really addicted to this, walking four hours round trip to see that lousy movie!
"It was almost midnight when I got home. My mom gave me a good scolding yesterday." He scratched his head and laughed, "You can't watch free movies all the time, so it was worth the scolding."
Xu Xiangyang: The point isn't about getting scolded, okay? It's a four-hour walk just to see a movie!
Well, he was too exhausted to even complain anymore.
These days, it's really not easy to watch movies. Usually, movies are shown in cinemas, and you have to pay to buy them.
"You can watch it if you want. Remember to call me by my name from now on, not 'Dog Egg,' understand? Zhang Tiequan."
Hei Pi's real name is Zhang Tiequan, but everyone here calls him by his nickname. After he got married, no one called him that anymore.
"Yes, I remember, no need to repeat it." He nodded with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang: So he was just talking nonsense?
"Are we going to the commune tomorrow? It's snowing these past two days, so we can't go up the mountain to play." Zhang Tiequan's topics really never end; he always manages to find something to talk about.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to go at all. It took four hours to get to and from the commune. Couldn't he just stay there if he had the time? The main problem was that his head wasn't fully healed yet.
"My head isn't better yet, I'm not going."
Zhang Tiequan looked at him with curiosity. This Gou Dan Ge... no, it's Xiang Yang Ge.
How come he's changed? He's still the same person.
Before, his legs would get sore from being stuck in the communes that they would scald. But when it came to going to the commune, Xiangyang was always the first to organize things and the most enthusiastic. Why doesn't he want to go this time?
Xu Xiangyang looked at him like that and suddenly wondered if he had done something wrong. But his head was really not better, so he couldn't go to the commune. He would probably faint on the way.
Just as he was filled with suspicion, Zhang Tiequan spoke up: "Brother Xiangyang, didn't you used to love going to the commune the most? You even liked to sneak peeks at Old Yang's house."
What? Peeping?!
Xu Xiangyang recalled with horror that he seemed to have seen such a scene in his memory.
The original owner liked the daughter of the Yang family, who moved from this brigade to the commune, named Yang Tianyun.
Yang Tianyun was of average appearance, but in those days everyone was thin and pale, so although Yang Tianyun did not have an outstanding face, he was quite round-looking.
Xu Xiangyang looked embarrassed. That girl... must weigh over 120 pounds, right?
Weighing over 120 pounds isn't considered fat, but that girl was only 1.5 meters tall.
Even if she has a pretty face, isn't it a bit much to have such a round figure? I really don't know how she eats in this day and age.
Even though Yang Tianyun was chubby, he still didn't fancy the original owner of this body. Mainly because he disliked the original owner for being lazy and irresponsible all the time.
Although the original owner was handsome, it's useless to be a celestial being if you don't have anything important to do.
They're already engaged. Ever since the original owner went to see them and learned about it, she hasn't gone back.
Zhang Tiequan seemed to realize something as well. He looked at Xu Xiangyang cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Xiangyang was not angry.
"They're already engaged, what am I supposed to do there?" That was all Xu Xiangyang could say. The original owner of this body was quite heartbroken.
But he knew he wasn't capable, so he was sad for two days and then recovered.
Since the original owner didn't care, he felt no burden either.
Zhang Tiequan dared not stay any longer, fearing that Xu Xiangyang would get angry and hit him. "Brother Xiangyang, I'm going back now. It's almost afternoon, and it'll be time for lunch soon."
He put on his shoes with a smile, then ran away without looking back.
