As dusk falls, the sky is ablaze with color, like a tapestry, and wisps of smoke rise from the village chimneys, where the sounds of chickens and dogs fill the air.
At Chen Sanjia.
Looking at the horizon, Chen San couldn't hide his envy: "That scoundrel Liu Xingyi actually passed the exam! I, Chen San, can't keep drifting aimlessly anymore; I have to work harder!"
His mother had just returned from Liu Xingyi's house, her face showing a thoughtful expression.
He then went to Liu Feng's house and chatted with He Qunfang: "Qunfang, your son Liu Feng is such a good student, how do you usually teach him?"
The two exchanged parenting tips.
I met Liu Feng.
Chen San's mother asked cautiously, "Liu Feng, your second brother was able to get into university thanks to your persuasion to retake the exam. I heard you also think my son Chen San has potential, is that true?"
Liu Feng smiled and nodded, saying confidently, "Auntie, Brother Chen will definitely get into university. If he doesn't pass next year, he will definitely pass the year after."
Upon hearing this, Chen San's mother was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed her gratitude: "That's wonderful! Liu Feng, you're not only a lucky star for your family, but also for our village!"
Liu Feng said modestly, "Auntie, actually, Brother Chen was able to get into university because he has a good mother like you. It was your perseverance that gave him the opportunity to get into university."
Hearing Liu Feng's answer.
Chen San's mother felt a lump in her throat. She had suffered ridicule and mockery from many people for forcing Chen San to repeat a year of high school.
Liu Feng's uncle, Liu Changfu, once mocked her for being delusional and said that Liu Xingyi was not destined to go to university.
If you're destined to go to university, why would you need to repeat a year? University students are all born geniuses.
I doubt Liu Changfu will ever admit to saying those things he said before.
Chen San's mother received Liu Feng's reply and felt reassured, leaving with a relaxed expression.
Liu Feng also has a nickname in the village: "Little Immortal".
This was because Liu Feng was wearing a Taoist robe when he returned from the mountain, and because of his later deeds of exorcising evil spirits from Su Dongmei's family.
Now, his encouragement of Liu Xingyi to retake the college entrance exam and subsequently gain admission to university has earned him even greater respect and admiration.
The next day, Liucun was immersed in a festive atmosphere, with gongs and drums resounding and the village bustling with activity.
Liu Xingman bought a big fat pig from town, and the whole village gathered in front of Liu's house, looking forward to the midday feast.
Soon after, the banquet began.
Liu Xingyi picked up his wine glass but did not toast his grandfather and uncle first.
Instead, they first toasted Liu Changqing and He Qunfang, each with a cup.
He said with deep emotion, "If it weren't for my fourth brother's wake-up call and generous financial assistance, I wouldn't have been able to get into university. Today, since my fourth brother isn't here, I'll first raise a glass to my uncle and aunt to thank them for raising such an outstanding fourth brother..."
Liu Xingyi is the star of today's banquet.
Liu Feng did not want to steal the spotlight.
At this moment, he appeared in another place with Liu Xiaoling, carrying a bag of gifts.
They arrived at Yu Jingya's maternal grandfather's village.
From afar, you can see Yu Jingya washing clothes in the shade by the door.
Liu Xiaoling waved and called out, "Jingya!"
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Jingya looked up, and her bright eyes immediately spotted a familiar figure.
A surprised smile appeared on her face, and she exclaimed cheerfully, "What brings you all here?"
Liu Feng smiled and said gently, "We've come to see you."
At this moment.
An elderly man, around sixty years old, came out and asked, "Jingya, who are these two people?"
Before Yu Jingya could answer.
Liu Feng stepped forward and politely replied, "Grandpa, we are Jingya's classmates. My name is Liu Feng, and this is my older sister, Liu Xiaoling. We heard that Jingya is not planning to continue her studies, so we came here to see if there's anything we can do to help. Here are a few small yellow croakers that I caught from the river; I brought them for you to try."
The old man quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Young man, you're too kind. Come on in, don't bring anything! It's so hot outside, come in and sit down."
Yu Jingya took the things from Liu Feng's hands: a large bag of small yellow croakers and a large bag of snacks.
Inside the snack bag was a packet of bright red and tempting wild wild berries, which Liu Feng had grown in his magic gourd space.
Nourished by spiritual energy, it has a sweet taste and can also beautify the skin.
Liu Yue and Liu Xiaoling both love to eat this on weekdays.
Once inside, the old man sighed and said, "Alas, Jingya's parents grow vegetables in greenhouses in Kyoto. They want Jingya to drop out of school and go there to help."
Liu Xiaoling and Liu Feng had already discussed their story.
She immediately said, "Grandpa, actually Jingya really wants to continue her studies, at least to finish junior high school and get her diploma. That way, she can have a good future when she goes out to work."
Liu Feng knew in his heart that the junior high school graduation certificate was just a temporary excuse, a delaying tactic.
The real goal is to allow Yu Jingya to continue her education through junior high, high school, and university.
In her previous life, after Yu Jingya entered society and became independent, she went to night school every night to study and enrich herself.
She was filled with regret and helplessness for dropping out of school.
Therefore, Liu Feng was unwilling to see her go to Beiping during the most beautiful years of her youth, just like in her previous life.
Thus, they bear the hardships of life too early.
We were chatting.
An elderly woman with a full head of white hair walked in carrying a vegetable basket.
Yu Jingya ran over to take the vegetable basket and introduced Liu Xiaoling and Liu Feng to her grandmother.
When the old lady saw Liu Feng and his sister, she greeted them warmly with a smile, "Oh dear, Jingya often talks about you two, especially Liu Xiaoling, who often comes to your house to play. I'll cook something delicious for you this time!"
