Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

It was already very late, and when the lights were turned off and he heard the steady breathing coming from beside him, Fu Sheng soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, someone knocked on the courtyard door from outside. Fu Sheng put down the axe in his hand and hurriedly opened the door, and saw Zhuang Ze outside the courtyard.

Zhuang Ze did not go in either. Instead, he walked out mysteriously, hooking his arm around Fu Sheng's shoulder. As he walked, he looked in the direction of the courtyard gate and stopped after making sure that there was no one there.

"Brother Sheng, what do you think of me?"

Zhuang Ze spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Why do you ask?"

Fu Sheng had a bad feeling.

"Why don't you answer my question first? We have known each other for so many years. What do you think of my character? Am I reliable?"

Zhuang Ze continued to ask.

"As friends, it's fine. What's wrong?"

Fu Sheng continued to ask cautiously.

"I feel relieved when you say this. Do you think I can succeed in pursuing Xiaohua?"

Hearing Zhuang Ze's question, Fu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. His premonition came true. Although Zhuang Ze was a good person, he just felt that he was not worthy of the girl.

"No, I don't agree, you two are not suitable!"

Fu Sheng firmly opposed.

"Why not? People are talking about free love nowadays, so why can't I pursue Xiaohua? You don't like Xiaohua anyway, and you two are siblings. You and I are good friends, so we can be even closer, isn't that good?"

Zhuang Ze got to know Shi Yan entirely because of Fu Sheng. Recently, when he got along with Shi Yan, he always regarded Shi Yan as his good friend's sister.

But just yesterday, when he saw Shi Yan for the first time, he felt like he fell in love at first sight. Thinking back on the time he had spent with Shi Yan, he realized that Shi Yan had many admirable qualities: intelligence, kindness, simplicity...

"Xiaohua is still young, and her situation is special. Are you sure your family can accept Xiaohua?"

"Also, Xiaohua's most important thing right now is studying. She has never been to high school. Time is tight now. She is too busy studying every day to have time to date. Don't affect her and come to our house less often in the future."

Fu Sheng's expression was so ugly that it couldn't be described, but Zhuang Ze was not afraid at all.

"Why can't you let me come? I think Xiaohua likes me very much, and I can teach her as well. At worst, I won't tell her that I like her for now, and I'll tell her when Xiaohua is admitted to university. You can't stop me from seeing Xiaohua."

Zhuang Ze's attitude was very firm. He had made up his mind and he didn't want to give up without trying.

Fu Sheng's thoughts were a little confused, but looking at his friend's determined expression, he could only temporarily do as he said and postpone it until after the college entrance examination.

At this moment, Shi Yan was studying seriously in the yard and didn't notice the movements of the two people outside the yard at all. After the two people returned to the yard with strange expressions, Shi Yan didn't even look up.

"Xiaohua, the watermelon you planted has borne fruit. It's a very small one. Come and have a look."

Zhuang Ze saw that Shi Yan had been ignoring him. In order to increase his presence, he looked around and saw the watermelon vine in the corner.

Yan became interested when the watermelon vine was mentioned. This morning, she injected plant-related supernatural powers into the watermelon vine in the corner, causing a small fruit to grow. She originally wanted Fu Sheng to see it, so that she could eat watermelon legitimately next week and share it with Fu Sheng and Zhuang Ze.

But when he woke up this morning, Fu Sheng felt absent-minded for some reason. He walked around the yard for a long time but didn't notice any changes in the watermelon vines in the corner. He even started chopping firewood suddenly.

Now that she was finally discovered, Shi Yan was very happy. She immediately pretended to be very excited and came close to Zhuang Ze to admire the watermelon vines in the corner with him.

Fu Sheng was a little annoyed, but he couldn't lose his temper for no reason. He could only throw the firewood in his hands and then resigned himself to going back to the kitchen to make lunch for the little girl.

A day at home goes by very quickly, especially with someone like Zhuang Ze around to make jokes. There is always laughter in the yard all afternoon, and the little girl always has a smile on her face.

It was not until late at night that Fu Sheng had the chance to be alone with the little girl.

Maybe everything that happens once will happen countless times. When lying next to the little girl again, Fu Sheng did not struggle at all and soon fell asleep.

.....................

On Friday, October 1977, 10, the People's Broadcasting Station and other media published the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination as headlines, and this exciting news quickly spread across the country.

“All workers, farmers, educated youth who have gone to work in the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized servicemen, cadres and recent high school graduates who meet the enrollment requirements can voluntarily sign up..."

The loudspeaker at the entrance of the village was broadcasting the news of the resumption of the national college entrance examination from the radio.

Fu Sheng was doing his homework when he heard the cheers and shouts of young men in the village.

As a person who had to take care of the affairs of the deceased, Shi Yan naturally only knew about the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination. However, when she heard the excited voice of the announcer on the radio and the cheers from the village, Shi Yan felt a little moved.

As the sun sets in the west, the sound of bells and drums heralding the end of work can be heard in the village.

After a while, Shi Yan heard someone knocking on the door of the educated youth camp opposite. It seemed that they had been knocking for a long time and no one opened the door, so those people stopped knocking.

But after a while, someone knocked hurriedly on Shi Yan's gate.

"Open the door! Open the door! Shi Xiaohua, open the door!"

"Fu Zhiqing's family, open the door, we have someone to look for!"

There were both men and women knocking on the door outside, but they all seemed particularly unfamiliar in Shi Yan's memory. However, she could tell that these people were probably all young people.

Shi Yan dropped the pencil in her hand, walked to the gate and opened it. When the people outside saw the gate open, they all rushed in.

There are three boys and four girls in total.

Shi Yan tried to identify them and finally found these people deep in her memory. They were all people she had attended junior high school with, just not in the same grade.

Among these people are young men and girls from the village, as well as educated youth who married villagers early on. In any case, in the eyes of the older generation in the village, they are all intellectuals.

When Shi Yan was looking at these people, these people were also looking at Shi Yan. Seeing that Shi Yan was well-dressed, had fair and smooth skin, and had delicate facial features, the three young men blushed unconsciously as they looked at her.

The tone of his voice also softened a lot.

"Xiaohua, did you hear the broadcast at noon? The college entrance examination has been resumed."

Shi Yan nodded and roughly guessed the purpose of these people coming here.

"We want to ask Fu Zhiqing and others to borrow textbooks. After all, they teach in schools and they must have kept up with the textbook knowledge."
