Chang Le ran home quickly, entered her room, and touched her chest; it was beating quite fast.
During the meal, she ignored Cui Yu and didn't say a word to him, but Cui Yu didn't care at all.
The next day, Chang Le left early without waiting for Cui Yu.
As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Cui Yu leaning against the courtyard wall, waiting for her.
She stormed off, and Cui Yu followed silently behind.
The two of them remained awkwardly estranged for a week.
Cui Yu couldn't hold back any longer and stopped Chang Le, asking, "Chang Le, are you still angry? Don't be angry."
Chang Le finally spoke: "If you know I'm angry, then don't act like a scoundrel."
Cui Yu said seriously, "Changle, that's not being a hooligan. I like you. When you like someone, you can't help but want to get closer to them."
Chang Le snorted.
Cui Yu: "Why don't you hit me a few times to vent your anger?"
Chang Le rolled her eyes at him: "What, do you like getting beaten up?"
Cui Yu: "You can hit me every day as long as you're happy."
Chang Le was too lazy to watch him go crazy, and walked forward on her own, with Cui Yu following closely behind.
Life returned to normal, and Chang Le stopped giving Cui Yu the cold shoulder. Cui Yu continued to follow Chang Le around like a shadow.
Ye Changxing would come every now and then to give Ruyi some gifts.
During the summer vacation, Bai Yanji graduated from university and was assigned to work in the commune.
Bai Dabo came specifically to find Bai Xiaoyue and asked if Chang Le wanted to go to university, saying that the village could recommend her.
Chang Le was somewhat tempted; she really wanted to go to university, but unfortunately, this year's spots were only available at universities within the province.
Bai Xiaoyue advised her daughter, "Changle, you can wait a little longer. There's no rush. You're still young."
Chang Le thought about it for two days and followed her mother's advice. Her dream was to go to the best university in Beijing.
Uncle Bai shook his head repeatedly, not understanding the thoughts of these young people. They didn't even go to university; they were incredibly foolish.
Look at his eldest grandson, who graduated from university and became a commune cadre. Isn't that great?
Bai's parents came to persuade Chang Le, but Chang Le didn't say it was Bai Xiaoyue's idea. She only said that she wanted to study in the capital.
Even Bai Wenyi and Wen Tong came to the house to ask Chang Le why she wasn't going. Chang Le still replied that she was going to the capital.
Bai Wen'an asked, "Sister, why don't you try to persuade Chang Le?"
Wen Tong nodded in agreement.
Bai Xiaoyue said with a smile:
“Wen’an, I support Chang Le going to university in Beijing in the future. I remember she said that when you came back from Beijing one year.”
Bai Wen'an thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be true. He said with a laugh:
"She was only a few years old then. The bold words she spoke as a child may not have come true when she grew up."
Bai Xiaoyue: "She is still young and can still pursue her dreams, which is great."
Yan Ci also said, "Our Changle family is full of ambition!"
Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were supportive, Bai Wen'an didn't dare to try to persuade them further.
I don't think it's a big deal. If we don't go this year, we can go next year.
A few days later, Bai Xiaoyue heard that more educated youth had come to the educated youth compound, but she was too busy helping Chang Le with her studies to go and see what was going on.
As a result, the excitement came knocking on our door.
A young educated youth, a girl of fifteen or sixteen, came directly to Cui Yu's house to find him.
The two went outside and talked for a while. When Cui Yu returned, his face was ashen.
Chang Le asked him what was wrong, but he didn't say, thus missing his first chance.
Bai Xiaoyue asked Yan Ci to check on things.
Yan Ci said that Cui Yu is an adult and should handle his own affairs.
A few days later, that young educated youth came to the door again, saying he was looking for Chang Le.
Cui Yu wouldn't let her in, so she yelled at Chang Le from outside the door:
"Ye Changle, Cui Yu is going to marry me in the future."
Chang Le glanced at her: "Really? May I ask who you are?"
Cui Yu roared, "Lu Xiaoyan, shut up!"
Lu Xiaoyan's voice was shrill: "Why should I shut up? You just want to marry me."
Bai Xiaoyue looked at her daughter with concern. Chang Le had tacitly allowed Cui Yu to follow her around during this time, which meant she was preparing to accept him.
Chang Le sneered: "Cui Yu, you tell me, is she right or wrong?"
Cui Yu hurriedly said, "Chang Le, believe me, I only like you."
Lu Xiaoyan: "Cui Yu, I'm going to ask Grandpa Cui and Uncle Cui..."
She was suddenly covered by Cui Yu's hand and dragged out of the courtyard, unable to say anything more.
Cui Yu was unaware that he had lost his second chance.
Seeing Cui Yu's guilty look, Chang Le's eyes reddened, and Bai Xiaoyue gently hugged her daughter and patted her back.
Chang Le said, "Mom, I don't like him."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded.
The mother and daughter spent the afternoon in quiet contemplation.
Cui Yu did not appear; he lost his third chance.
Chang Le said slowly, "Perfect, it won't disrupt my plans."
Bai Xiaoyue said softly, "Changle, don't be sad, things haven't been clarified yet."
Chang Le: "Mom, I don't want anything with flaws."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay."
When Yan Ci returned, he learned the whole story.
Immediately have Xiaobai pack up all of Cui Yu's belongings and place them at the gate of the courtyard.
He then told Xiaobai, "We can't let Cui Yu into our yard anymore."
Xiao Bai nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."
When Cui Yu returned, he found Xiao Bai guarding the door, preventing him from entering.
Xiao Bai said, "Brother Cui, my dad said it's better for educated youth to live in the educated youth courtyard. Your things have been packed."
Cui Yu became anxious: "Xiao Bai, let me go in and explain to your sister first."
Xiao Bai: "No need, my sister doesn't have time."
He handed the things to Cui Yu and slammed the door shut.
That evening, Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci discussed:
"Aci, since the exam is only a little over a year away, let Changle study at home."
Yan Ci nodded: "That's my plan too. She wants to go to the capital, so she has to work hard."
The next day, the couple announced their decision, and Chang Le had no objections, focusing on studying at home.
Yan Ci informed Bai Wenyi, asking him to find someone else to replace Chang Le.
Cui Yu thought he would see Chang Le at work the next day, but he didn't see her until he left work.
He wondered if Chang Le had taken leave, as he hadn't seen her for two days in a row.
He was a little anxious and hurriedly ran to ask Bai Wenyi.
Bai Xiaoyi told him, "Chang Le won't be coming to work anymore. I'll find someone to do her job."
Cui Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; from now on, he would have to go to Chang Le's house to see her.
At this point, he was unaware that he would never see Chang Le again.
Every time he went to wait for Chang Le after get off work, Xiao Bai would not let him into the yard. He would sneak over the yard and get beaten up by Xiao Bai.
He sneaked off to work, hoping to go while Xiaobai wasn't home.
Bai Xiaoyue came out with a smile and said, "Cui Yu, unfortunately, Chang Le isn't home."
Chang Le was clearly at home, but he didn't dare to argue back.
If you see Yan Ci on the street and call him "uncle," he will completely ignore you and treat you like you're invisible.
Cui Yu was on the verge of tears, with Lu Xiaoyan constantly following him around. He felt he was going to go crazy sooner or later.
He went to wait outside the Yan family's house every day, hoping that Chang Le would come out and he could see her.
For three whole months, Chang Le was not seen, not even during the busy farming season.
