Ke Meiyu knew that she hadn't really grasped the sciences yet, and that she had relied on rote memorization of knowledge through endless practice questions to get through the college entrance exam.
Although the college entrance examination has been abolished, the college students who are recommended for admission are studying exceptionally hard and diligently, putting all their effort into laying the foundation for a lifetime of success in just two years.
Even before she went to university, she had already felt this atmosphere, which is why Ke Meiyu took her studies and future life very seriously for the first time.
She wants to use the space and system to enrich and improve herself, using it as a springboard, but she is not afraid that these two cheat codes will suddenly disappear one day!
Although the house of the five bachelors was sparsely furnished, it was filled with the strong stench of men's sweat, as their mother occasionally helped with washing and drying their bedding.
It almost made Ke Meiyu faint from the fumes.
She frowned, turned around to get a rag and a basin, and pretended to tidy up slowly. When the time was up, she cast a dust-clearing spell, and the air immediately became fresh and comfortable.
The dust and cobwebs on the walls have disappeared, the decades-old beams are now glossy black, and the ground is not only free of dust, but even the soil that has not been leveled for decades is now neat and flat.
The bedding and clothes were clean and exuded a faint fragrance of bellflower, and the grime that had accumulated on the tables and chairs over the years was nowhere to be seen.
With a comfortable learning environment, Ke Meiyu used the excuse of the cold winter to close the doors and windows and slip into the space to study.
Time flows slowly in this space, making it more suitable for studying and intensive study.
Ke Meiyu recalled the knowledge points Qin Yuanjiu had explained, and then studied them again by watching the video. She pondered them carefully, and actually had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
She struck while the iron was hot and did some related questions, and surprisingly, she was able to get over 90% correct!
This was the first time Ke Meiyu had felt such a strong sense of accomplishment from learning; it was incredibly exciting and exhilarating.
Taking advantage of this momentum, she thoroughly studied her elementary school Chinese textbook and memorized twenty beautiful articles and sentences.
After studying for so long, Ke Meiyu felt satisfied both physically and mentally, and then she began to crave food.
To reward herself and her hardworking family, Ko Mei-yu followed the recipe and used good tea leaves from Kyoto to make milk tea with milk powder, then added red beans, homemade taro balls, and honey.
Although it's not as rich and smooth as my favorite milk tea, it still brings me extraordinary satisfaction and happiness.
At lunchtime, Ke's mother and Ke Yuanda returned with radiant faces.
The whole family couldn't help but step forward and ask how things were going.
Mrs. Ke first took the warm milk tea that her daughter-in-law brought over, took a big gulp, and was amazed by the novel drink. She couldn't help but take a few more sips before letting out a long sigh. Under the urging gazes of everyone, she smiled and nodded: "It's done!"
"The day after tomorrow, the 12th, is the 29th of the 10th month of the lunar calendar, an auspicious day for marriage proposals. Let's ask someone to help us propose to the Li family."
Everyone was delighted. "How come it's so fast? We were just saying we'd wait, and now the marriage proposal is in two days?"
Only Ke Lao Si and his wife, the old man and woman, Ke Meiyu and Ke Yuanda knew what happened last night.
Mrs. Ke didn't want to go into details, so she laughed and said, "What's the difference between fast and slow? The two children are a good match in every way, and the two families get along well. What difference does it make if it's a few days earlier or later?"
"Besides, the eldest son will be going to study in the provincial capital after the New Year. If he can get married as soon as possible, he can focus on his studies."
Everyone thought about it and realized that many people get married after just meeting once through a matchmaker. Ke Yuanda and Li Juanmei, at least, had spent some time together on their own.
Qin Yuanjiu held a mug of milk tea and sipped it slowly. "Mother, should we ask the aunt from the head of the family to help us propose marriage to the Li family?"
Ke's mother and Ke Lao Si were taken aback. "The village head's wife? Can we even speak to her?"
He nodded with a smile: "Recently, Luofeng Village has been making a lot of moves. The village head is practically running around three times a day to follow along and give instructions. My older brother is a college student at the Naval Submarine Academy in the provincial capital. We asked him and my aunt to be the host and matchmaker, so that all three families can save face."
Grandma Ke immediately made the decision: "Let's do as Xiao Yuan says. It's a good thing to be the matchmaker and witness for the two young people. It will make the president and his wife look good, and the Li family will feel our sincerity and won't be laughed at by their colleagues."
She pondered secretly taking out two ginseng roots from her savings as a thank-you gift for the matchmaker and a betrothal gift, and adding another twenty yuan.
It wasn't that she favored the fourth branch of the family, but rather that the Ke family benefited too much from Bao'er.
After the fourth wife closed the door, Madam Ke recounted the whole story in detail.
Last night, Li Juanmei almost suffered a terrible ordeal, but thanks to Ke Meiyu's talisman, she slept soundly through the night until dawn, when she was jolted awake by a scream.
In the warm quilt and familiar bed, Li Juanmei's mind was a little sluggish, and she almost forgot what had happened last night.
"Xiuqin, what are you yelling about so early in the morning? Can't a person get some sleep?"
They all knew that Li Juanmei had been kidnapped by Liu Zi. They were excited but also a little scared. They tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. They felt like they had just opened their eyes when they were woken up.
They all asked, somewhat displeased.
Xiuqin was awakened by the pain of pimples on her face. The sharp pain made her jump when she touched them. She quickly got up and, in the dim light coming through the window, saw several pimples on her head, nose, and chin in the mirror!
Her face, already chapped and blackened by the cold wind, looked even more wretched to her, and she couldn't help but let out a shrill voice.
"I...I have so many pimples on my face," she said with a mournful face.
The few lying down also felt uncomfortable on their faces; no, it should be said that something was wrong with their whole bodies.
