The others are all still single and enjoying their single life; none of them want to find a partner.
Tang Baozhu was the same. She used to have no one else in her heart and could get along with anyone. But later she felt that it wouldn't work and unconsciously began to keep herself pure.
Jin Meng had always shown that he liked her very much and would often come to see her. However, in 1976, he may have spoken a little too harshly, because he never came to see her again.
There was really no other way. There were rumors circulating in the village that she shouldn't marry him and that she had kept him hanging for so many years.
Tang Baozhu felt she would be wronged to death and had already clearly refused, but that guy who was obsessed with looks didn't want to go on blind dates with other girls and was only interested in her appearance.
Although I haven't seen him come looking for me this past year, I haven't heard any news about his marriage either. I still feel that he hasn't given up on me.
Of course, some of the other male educated youth in the courtyard also liked Tang Baozhu, after all, she was really pretty. But Tang Baozhu never let others overthink things, she would decisively reject them and nip any potential feelings in the bud.
I finally heard the news about the college entrance examination and felt that I could finally leave this place. I thought that the person Tang Baozhu killed would never be heard from again, but I didn't expect that two months later I would hear that the person had gone missing.
Tang Baozhu knew that it must be because they had been doing something for the past two months that no one suspected anything, but when they didn't return after two months, they knew that something must have happened.
However, they never called the police. The village chief and brigade leader organized people to search in the mountains, but they stopped after a week of searching without finding anything.
Later, I heard Li Feifei talk about what happened here. People rarely call the police. It's usually managed by the clan chief, who feels that calling the police would be too embarrassing.
This is beyond stupidity. If they had called the police, there might have been a sliver of hope; if they hadn't, there would have been absolutely no hope.
Every winter, Tang Baozhu would go to the middle of the lake to cut ice blocks. She always came secretly, especially when she was on patrol. She would just cut the ice there, and no one would care. They thought she was fishing. All she had to do was share one or two fish with everyone when she came back.
She froze a lot of the water that was imbued with spiritual energy. It was just that the summer here wasn't very hot, so she would occasionally indulge in a little bit of the iced drink, but she wouldn't want to eat it at other times.
But I'm about to leave this place, and thinking about the ice I've stored in my space, I feel like I can eat and drink as much ice as I want.
A lot of fruit was frozen, not just pears, but also apples, bananas and other fruits.
Tang Baozhu, like everyone else, stayed indoors to study. She didn't even go to work. There was no other way; everyone in the family who was taking the college entrance exam was studying at home. When the brigade leader saw this, he simply gave everyone a holiday.
The other people at the educated youth settlement were just incidental; the key was the high school students from the village who were taking the college entrance exams, so we benefited from their help.
Over the years, she has never given up learning, and her knowledge base is quite sufficient. Now she just needs to review.
Perhaps because Tang Baozhu's attitude had softened a bit, Xu Rui had been sending her red envelopes almost every day for the past few years.
It doesn't necessarily have to be something very precious; it could be a particularly beautiful flower from the cultivation world. They'll send anything they find attractive.
He would also bring back all sorts of local specialties when he went on missions or traveled, and send them all to Baozhu.
Even because of an incident that happened while picking mushrooms before, he stopped letting Baozhu pick mushrooms and instead picked mushrooms himself and brought them over, some of which were even spirit mushrooms.
Dried king oyster mushrooms, ground into powder, can be added to soups for an incredibly delicious flavor that will make your mouth water.
This is why others in the educated youth compound felt that Baozhu's skills were getting better and better. In reality, it was just because the materials were better, so although it was a little better than at the beginning, it wasn't much better. She hadn't received systematic training, and she still needed a master to improve.
Because he sends out red envelopes every day, which is too high-profile, everyone in the group knows that Xu Rui is pursuing Baozhu.
We've known each other for over a hundred years, everyone is kind, and we only offer blessings without saying anything negative.
Tang Baozhu didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky. Several new people joined the group, but one of them was from the "Nian Dai" (a fictional character).
This time, Tang Baozhu dared not claim fellow villagers like she did in the last world. Who knew what kind of person this newcomer was? But judging from his speech and the way others probed him, it seemed like they were from the same world.
The other people in the group are definitely closer to Baozhu, since they've spent more time together. They never reveal to outsiders which world Baozhu is in, for fear of being found and something unexpected happening.
Some people think they have a special advantage and are chosen by heaven. If they find that there are other people in the same world who also have this opportunity, those with a good mindset may not mind, but those with a bad mindset will want to eliminate the other person so that they can become the one and only.
Every time a new person joins the group, I don't know how they are selected. There's no screening of their character at all. So gradually, it's not as helpful to newcomers as it was at the beginning.
They'll give a little gold and silver jewelry, and a little food, but not as generously as before. They're just making sure people can survive.
The most generous people in the group were those big shots from the cultivation world and the immortal realm. They were from different worlds, so it was a blessing for everyone in the group.
Everyone studied at the educated youth settlement for a month, and the college entrance examination started in mid-December. When it was time to take the exam, everyone went to the commune in advance because the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. If you didn't go in advance, you would definitely miss the exam.
Everyone was bundled up like a panda. They arrived at the commune a day early and stayed in the hotel. There were so many people taking the exam that the hotel was almost full, with at least seven or eight people in each room.
Fortunately, they arrived a day early. The men shared a room, and the women shared a room. They wanted to stay in an extra room to avoid the crowding, but the hotel wouldn't allow it, and they had to make room for others.
It can only be said that people in this era are both good and bad. People like this, who are afraid that others will not have a place to live, let everyone squeeze in so that a room can be vacated and more people can live in it. They are considered to be very kind people here.
"Aren't you guys nervous? I feel like I'm taking an exam tomorrow, and I'm so excited."
"How can I not be nervous? You know, this is the only chance to go back. If we miss it, we don't know if we'll have another chance."
"Don't worry, everyone. Even if you don't do well this time, you can take the exam again next time! We've already had one college entrance exam, so it shouldn't be stopped again."
