By June, things were getting hot at 627 Farm, and all kinds of fish were available.
It's not yet the busy farming season, but there's always endless work to do and meetings to attend every day.
They also had to find time to read. The educated youth were busier than the villagers. In order to get into university, everyone worked very hard.
Li Yiling had to review with others every night, and some educated youth could not keep up and almost cried.
Lin Xiaofang had to take care of the children and study at the same time. She fell asleep while reading. Yang Zhaozhao woke her up and gave her a cup of coffee, which perked her up.
They drink coffee quietly. When they feel sleepy at night, they will make a cup for each of them. After drinking it, they will feel much more energetic.
Sometimes I drink strong tea.
Sometimes, Yang Zhaozhao would take out his own energy drinks and give one to each person for everyone to share.
Apart from anything else, just because Yang Zhaozhao feeds them food and drink in various ways, they are willing to come to Yang Zhaozhao's place to review.
Moreover, if Yang Zhaozhao got tired of reading, she would fry French fries, make popcorn, pumpkin pancakes, and fried sweet potato balls. They had to skip dinner just for this midnight snack.
Naturally, they made great progress in their studies.
If you ask where these things came from, you can just say that Li Yiling's rich grandfather sent them to him, which is a perfect cover-up.
Everyone envied Li Yiling for having a good grandfather.
Li Yiling felt bitter, but he didn't say it.
Lin Xiaofang said, "Li Lihua came to talk to me today and asked me for information about you. She said she would give me ten yuan if I told her."
Yang Zhaozhao smiled: "Did you take the money?"
Lin Xiaofang shook her head: "I won't tell her, she has bad intentions!"
"Stupid, you took the money and said a few words casually. You can't go against money!"
Lin Xiaofang: “…”
"If I bribe you again next time, don't miss the opportunity and let her know how dangerous the world is!" Yang Zhaozhao taught Lin Xiaofang how to cheat Li Lihua out of money.
Lin Xiaofang felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and she felt like she had missed out on something great.
On June 18th, Yang Zhaozhao's birthday, she prepared a delicious meal and invited Lin Xiaofang, He Wei and his wife, and five other educated youth to have a meal together.
The braised noodles with kidney beans and pork belly in the evening were well received.
You can never get tired of eating the red sausage and there is not a single piece left.
There were also braised pork ribs and pork elbows in soy sauce, braised pork head and ears, plus large intestines. It was so delicious that Uncle Wang said he enjoyed it so much.
Yang Zhaozhao also made a cake for herself.
The task of stirring the egg liquid was given to Li Yiling. After beating it into foam, he added flour and placed it in the space oven. After a ding, the soft cake came out of the oven.
Lin Xiaofang ate the cake and squinted her eyes. "It's delicious. It's similar to the egg cake I had when I was a child, but this tastes even better. It also has cream!"
Yang Zhaozhao was very happy to see them finish all the cake!
After seeing Lin Xiaofang and the others off, Yang Zhaozhao packed up and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
Unexpectedly, Li Yiling hesitated and looked at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, making a lot of small movements.
Yang Zhaozhao smiled: "What's the matter?"
Li Yiling scratched his head. Before he could say anything, his face had already turned red. He took out a box from his pocket and said, "A birthday gift. Happy birthday!"
Yang Zhaozhao was surprised: "When will you prepare?"
When Yang Zhaozhao opened it, he found it was a Parker pen. Even though it was a product from the Friendship Store, they certainly didn't sell pens of this brand.
"I bought this when I went to the city last time. I hope you like it." Li Yiling went to the Friendship Store specifically to buy a pen.
"Thank you, I like it very much!" Yang Zhaozhao accepted the gift and thought to herself that when Li Yiling's birthday comes, she should also prepare a gift for him, and it must not be less valuable than this pen.
Glancing at Li Yiling's hand, Yang Zhaozhao knew what to give her.
"I'm glad you like it. I hope you can get a good grade on the test with this pen!"
Yang Zhaozhao nodded, and after returning, he looked at the pen a few more times.
Cui Nai said, "I'll give you a birthday gift when we get back to the city. I haven't prepared anything yet. I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao."
"Mrs. Cui, you are too polite. The trust you give me is the best gift. We are a family, so we should not have any arguments." Yang Zhaozhao did not care about these people.
The college entrance examination is from July 7th to July 9th.
With more than ten days left, the educated youths reviewed even harder.
It was even more lively here with Yang Zhaozhao and his friends. There were many people and many mosquitoes. Yang Zhaozhao lit a mosquito coil and placed it in the corner. They looked at it curiously and asked what it was.
Yang Zhaozhao said, "I bought some at the Friendship Store and they said it was mosquito coils."
I also wanted to buy a few pieces to take back to the educated youth, but when I heard about the Friendship Store, all their tenderness was ruined.
Everyone knew that the things sold in the Friendship Store were not something that poor educated youth like them, who had no money and no tickets, could buy.
He Wei felt sad for a while every time he bought a bottle of toilet water. If it weren't for Niuniu, he wouldn't have bought the toilet water. He would have just gone to the mountains to get some mosquito repellent grass and burned it.
Niu Niu is too young and the smoke is too thick for the child to bear.
Seeing that Lin Xiaofang liked mosquito coils, Yang Zhaozhao would always ask Lin Xiaofang to take back the unused mosquito coils, as he would feel embarrassed if he gave her too many.
Only after using mosquito coils can she accept it.
Yang Zhaozhao tolerated Lin Xiaofang's awkwardness. If Lin Xiaofang had not helped him in the past, it would be impossible for her to take advantage of Yang Zhaozhao.
The busy farming season began in July, and Yang Zhaozhao and his classmates' admission tickets arrived.
We all agreed to get our admission tickets and see which examination room we were assigned to.
Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling were separated and they were not in the same school.
Yang Zhaozhao, Li Lihua, Zhao Wenwen, and He Wei were in the same examination room, while the other educated youth were divided into several other examination rooms.
"The exam is finally here. I want to see how many of our family members can get into college." After exchanging a glance with Yang Zhaozhao, Li Lihua smiled and left with Zhao Wenwen.
Li Lihua gave Yang Zhaozhao a meaningful look and frowned.
I always feel that this little girl is going to cause trouble.
After returning, Yang Zhaozhao put the admission ticket in the space to avoid losing it.
Without her admission ticket, she couldn't enter the examination room or take the exam.
The day before the college entrance examination, Lin Xiaofang and her friends came to Yang Zhaozhao's house. When they talked about the exam the next day, they felt nervous, excited, and a little uneasy.
Yang Zhaozhao took out some melon seeds and everyone gathered together, drinking boiled water, eating melon seeds, and chatting for a while, so that they could relax and not be too nervous.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Yang Zhaozhao said, "Let's all go back and rest. We'll meet at the village entrance tomorrow. Li Yiling and I have bicycles and can take people. We've borrowed two bicycles and we'll all ride there."
"Thank you!" He Wei expressed gratitude.
The other five educated youths were also grateful. If it weren't for Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling's selfless help during this period, to be honest, they wouldn't have been able to cope so easily.
Everyone went back to have a good rest. Before going to bed, they checked the pens, ink, admission tickets and other things they needed for the exam. After making sure that everything was fine, they went to sleep peacefully.
At six o'clock in the morning, they gathered at the entrance of the village.
Yang Zhaozhao made some soy milk and poured a cup for each of them.
She also brought some cornmeal, which Grandma Wang made for her to make pancakes for them, so that they could eat their fill and do well in the exam.
When drinking soy milk, Yang Zhaozhao tasted the taste that belonged to Li Yiling.
Li Yiling felt inexplicably guilty when Yang Zhaozhao looked at him. He smiled at her, his eyes revealing his little secret.
He carried the thermos and put the bamboo dew he collected today into the soy milk while Yang Zhaozhao was not paying attention, hoping that everyone could concentrate and perform better during the exam.
Yang Zhaozhao drank the soy milk in three or five gulps without exposing Li Yiling's little trick.
She just didn't expect that he would not only give such a valuable thing to herself, but also be willing to share it with He Wei and others.
It seems that after working together and studying together for the past few months, I have become friends with He Wei and the others.
After drinking the delicious soy milk, Lin Xiaofang was amazed: "What a delicious soy milk! How do you make it? Why can't I make it like this?"
Yang Zhaozhao smiled without saying anything, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
