Those two scoundrels played very extravagantly. Whenever they had sex with Widow Wang in front of Carpenter Li, they would beat or scold Carpenter Li, and even insult him with words.
Even tigers take naps.
One night, Carpenter Li, who had been tied up for a long time, had his rope worn out. He took a knife and stabbed the three sleeping people in the heart, and he also slit his own throat.
When they were discovered, the bodies of the four people had already been eaten to pieces by rats.
Coupled with the hot weather, the stench was even worse. It was precisely because of the strong smell that the villagers kicked the door to come and check.
When the people from Baihe Brigade heard about it, the most they could say was, "You deserved it."
No one even came to claim Carpenter Li's body, and in the end the police from the police station dug a random hole and buried it.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, almost two years have passed. It is October 21, 1977 in China. On this day, major newspapers, radio and television stations announced the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Cheng Mingyue, who knew the inside story, did not react much, but the educated youth in the village and Xu Xiaoyan's family who had been following Cheng Mingyue were so excited that they cried and laughed.
This situation is not unique to the Baihe Brigade. Ambitious young people from all over the country are spreading the news, and they see hope again.
Then people started borrowing textbooks and review materials and studying late into the night. Everyone wanted to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city or pursue a better future. In short, the whole of China was in an uproar.
Cheng Mingyue hasn't read medical books recently. She has started to review seriously like everyone else.
Sometimes Xu Xiaoyan would bring her two brothers to find Cheng Mingyue, and they would study together. In the end, even the educated youth in the village came over to hang out.
Cheng Mingyue was not stingy and lent them her textbooks and review materials. Everyone felt even more grateful to Cheng Mingyue, as if she were their second parent.
Among them was Ma Weiguo, who had always disliked Cheng Mingyue.
In the past two years, Ma Weiguo's temperament has been worn down and he has long lost his former outspokenness. In addition, he has been unable to see any hope, so his family sends him fewer things. He has to work hard to earn work points. For a while, he becomes closer to Li Qiang, who is also an educated youth.
The later educated youth were all well-educated and well-mannered, and none of them were competitive or pushy. All of them got along very well.
This also changed the village chief's impression of them a lot, and he would sometimes take care of them. They lived quite well in Baihe Brigade.
The day of the college entrance examination soon arrived.
The village chief asked Erwang to check the tractor carefully early on, waiting for the day to send the children to take the exam.
The village chief also asked Wang Guihua, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to steam a large pot of white flour buns overnight. Before leaving, he gave two to each of them so that they could eat on the way, saying that they would do well in the exam after eating their fill.
Of course, Cheng Mingyue’s was also included, and a few big meat buns were specially steamed for her.
These kings of Osmanthus also made delicious food for her in various ways, and they didn't care about the money. They said that she must keep up with the nutrition during the exam in order to get good grades.
Cheng Mingyue said nothing and naturally accepted her mother's kindness.
The college entrance examination lasted for two days, and everyone was still very excited after the exam.
Some thought they did well in the exam, some thought they performed poorly, in short, everyone felt a little weird.
The nervousness of the educated youths also affected Wang Guihua. She pinched the corner of her clothes and asked nervously:
"Yue'er, how did you do on the exam? I heard the test questions were difficult, was that true?"
What could Cheng Mingyue say? If she said it was not difficult, it didn't seem very good, so she could only nod randomly.
It was precisely because of Cheng Mingyue's nod that the whole family felt nervous.
More than twenty days later, the postman finally came into the village on his bicycle.
As soon as the postman entered the village, a large group of people surrounded him and started asking questions.
"Master, is the acceptance letter here?"
"Master, whose notices are these? Is there anyone named Cheng Mingyue?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Besides Cheng Mingyue, there are also Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Liang, and Xu Dong. Do you have any of them?"
Naturally, the villagers are most concerned about their own people. They think that if their village can produce a college student, their village will be proud.
"If there are none of those people you mentioned, who is Li Qiang? And Liao Wei?..."
The postman called out several names, all of whom were educated youth in the village. Although everyone felt a little disappointed, they still led people to the fields to find the educated youth who had been admitted.
Those who were admitted were overjoyed, while those who were not admitted were a little dejected. However, they also thought that it was still early and that the admission might come in a few days, so they were all waiting with hope.
As for those who had already received their admission letters, they didn't want to wait even a second. They packed their things, took the household registration transfer certificate issued by the village chief, and boarded the train home early.
Afterwards, Ma Weiguo and several other educated youth, as well as Xu Xiaoyan and her two siblings, all received notices one after another, but Cheng Mingyue remained silent.
This made the Cheng family even more tormented.
Although Cheng Mingyue had advised them that she was 100% likely to pass the exam, how could they not worry until they received the admission letter?
In the end, Wang Guihua and the others even took turns to enlighten Cheng Mingyue.
"Yue'er, it doesn't matter if you didn't pass the exam this time. We can just take it again next year. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in and get sick."
"That's right, Yue'er. It doesn't matter if you didn't pass the exam. Look, we did just fine even without taking the exam. Don't be so depressed!"
Cheng Mingyue really wanted to shout: "Do I look like I want to cry?"
But then I thought, forget it. Even if I told them, they might not believe it. So I stopped talking and continued to do the same as usual, going to work when I should and studying medicine when I should.
It must be said that Cheng Mingyue really has a talent for medicine. Over the past two years, her medical skills have become even more sophisticated.
Not only did the villagers of Baihe Brigade come to her when they were sick, but even the villagers from several nearby villages would come to Cheng Mingyue to treat them whenever they were sick, instead of going to the hospital.
Word of her fame spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The hospital in the town even sent people to persuade Cheng Mingyue to work in the town. In the end, even the old dean came to invite her in person, but Cheng Mingyue refused.
She currently has no intention of going to work in the hospital. She is very satisfied with her current leisurely and free life. The old dean did not force her. After a few interactions, the two of them even became friends regardless of age.
The old dean would go to the Baihe Brigade whenever he had time. At first, he only thought that Cheng Mingyue had good medical skills, but later he was attracted by her cooking skills.
She would often argue with Cheng Tianlai for a long time over a piece of braised pork ribs. They both disliked each other. Not only did they fight over food, but they also fought over who would teach her medical skills. In short, they always looked like fighting cocks.
The village head and his wife tried to mediate at first, but when they saw the two men arguing until their faces turned red and their necks became angry, and then they acted like brothers with their arms around each other, they gave up the idea of mediating.
