Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, the three of them felt bored and went to read. Jiang Yue rested for a while and played poker for a while. Then they prepared to go to bed. They didn't plan to go into the mountains recently, so they didn't go to check the traps. They would deal with the house building after the hype had died down.

The next morning, it started snowing just after breakfast, so there was no need to go out. When everyone was reading in the morning, Grandpa Xu and his family of three came over. Grandpa Xu and his family came to express their gratitude to Jiang Yue. Grandpa Xu's son also brought a gift. After exchanging greetings for a while, he went back before the snow got heavier.

At noon, Jiang Yue was too lazy to cook, so the three of them ate a bag of snacks that Uncle Xu brought over. Jiang Yue only ate one piece because it was too sweet. She didn't like such sweet snacks. In the afternoon, the four of them killed three chickens. They had originally planned to kill them all before the New Year, but it would be a waste to feed them food if they didn't lay eggs. Now that the weather was good enough, they could freeze the chickens, so they just killed some and ate them first.

For dinner, they had iron pot stewed chicken with corn tortillas. The probability of eating meat has obviously increased a lot in recent years. Since they started making money, the three of them have become more confident and no longer act emo every once in a while. Their home is also much better, because not only do they not have to support themselves, but they can also receive feedback from their children from time to time.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the Spring Festival of 1975. On New Year's Eve every household was in a festive mood. After getting up in the morning, everyone started to get busy. This year there was a lot more meat at home, and a few more kinds of vegetables.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was the most sumptuous meal since they went to the countryside. Everyone drank a little too much at today's dinner. When others came to ask them to go out and play in the evening, they were still sleeping in bed. Only Jiang Yue recovered faster.

When she woke up, she looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. After heating up the kang, she cleaned up the mess on the table and went back to her room to sleep.

When Jiang Yue woke up the next morning, the meal was ready. While eating, Jiang Yue asked around and found out that the three of them got up one after another at four or five o'clock. Several waves of children came to pay New Year's greetings.

After F1996 was crushed in 4, good days came to many families. By the end of the year, some educated youth had begun to return to the city, and in early 97, there were even more. With the help of Jiang Yue, Yao Ling has done a lot in recent years.

She thought the puppet was the boss of the black market, and dragged Jiang Yue and the other two to buy a lot of stamps. Because Jiang Yue only said that stamps these days would be valuable in the future, but did not say which ones were valuable, she asked people to collect a lot of stamp albums. In the end, she gave the three of them a lot of compliments, saying that if they were separated in the future, they could be regarded as gifts, and asked everyone to keep them well.

After the Chinese New Year in 97, she forced a few people to review, and the study time was extended by several hours every day. There was a reason for this, because the school had indeed received a lot more students recently. She said that business was not good, and if there was no job one day, she could still become a teacher.

In short, the little words were full of nonsense. If Jiang Yue hadn't known about it in advance, she would have believed Yao Ling's words. When she really thought about this matter in the future, she would probably just say that Yao Ling was lucky. Jiang Yue also felt that she had not misjudged the person again.

On October 10, the People's Daily reported the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination on its front page.

This news was like a spring breeze blowing across the land of the motherland, and young people across the country were excited! Especially for the educated young people who have been rooted in the countryside in recent years, this news was like a long drought and a sweet rain.

At the educated youth center, Zhang Wei and Wang Liang excitedly passed the newspapers around, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yao Ling is such a lucky star! If she hadn't constantly reminded us to study hard, we would be completely in the dark right now!" Zhang Liang exclaimed as he read the newspaper!

Yao Ling snatched the newspaper from his hand and glanced at him. "You can't just thank me, you have to thank everyone for never giving up learning."

"This suggestion was originally made by you! Your contribution is there and no one can erase it." Wang Liang grinned and couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

"Okay, don't be happy yet. Let's go and sign up tomorrow. There's no instructions on how to sign up. Let's go ask the captain."

"Let's go."

When we went to the brigade headquarters, most of the educated youth were present. Everyone was concerned about this matter. The brigade leader knew that everyone was very anxious, so he took out the document and read it carefully to everyone. He also answered some of the educated youth’s questions and then summarized:

"Today, everyone should prepare the necessary documents and certificates. Tomorrow, the brigade will send a tractor to take everyone to register. Don't worry, the brigade will keep a clear mind on this matter. During this period of preparation, everyone does not need to go out to the fields and can study at home with peace of mind."

"Long live the captain!" Some educated youth couldn't help but shout out loud.

"No, no, no, don't shout long live! If people know about this, they'll think I'm trying to restore the feudal system! Remember to be careful when you get out, and watch your mouth and don't say anything nonsense."

"I understand, Captain. Thank you, Captain."

After returning home, they discussed which university to apply for. Wang Liang and Zhang Wei wanted to apply for Beijing. Yao Ling had the memory of pseudo-rebirth, and she also wanted to go there. Now only Jiang Yue had not made a decision. Seeing that Jiang Yue was silent, Yao Ling asked her: "Xiao Yue, what do you think? Is there a place you want to go?"

"No." Jiang Yue thought that she had been staying in Beijing before, either Beijing or Shanghai. She was thinking about changing places and seeing if she should live in the south.

"Then come with us. If you want to go somewhere else, it won't be too late after graduation."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyue, come along, so I can get a free meal or something."

"Wang Liang, Wang Liang, you just remember to eat."

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, come with us to Beijing. We have some money now. When we get there, we can buy a house together and visit each other from time to time."

"Well, it doesn't matter where we go."

After deciding which university to apply to, several of them began to review. Although they were relatively confident of being admitted, they still had to work hard to get into a good university. After just half an hour of reading, some educated youth came over. They were three girls from the third batch of educated youth, and they had a relatively good relationship with them.

As soon as the people walked in, they knew what they were doing. They knew there were books here and they probably came to borrow them. Mainly because Jiang Yue and the others had never concealed it, so basically anyone who could come to their house as a guest or enter the house to play knew about it.

As expected, they guessed correctly. The four of them were not stingy and gave them a set of books. These were not for the three of them but for the educated youth. The three of them thanked them profusely and left. It was not that Yao Ling was kind or prepared in advance. Remember the first year Yao Ling and the other two went home, Jiang Yue bought the missing books from the recycling station. Yao Ling didn't know at the time, and she bought a new set after returning to the city, so there have been two sets of books in the house since then.
