Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Brother...Brother is back?"

Li Chaodong stammered a few words, each one more amazing and shocking than the last.

His chewing movements completely froze, and he turned his head to look at the Li Yuanbei sisters.

The two sisters nodded without hesitation.

Li Chaodong's face paled even further. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Isn't my elder brother in Yanjing? He is in charge of my affairs..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already guessed it.

It must be that I didn't go home. After my family members were all worried, they called my eldest brother in Yanjing to tell him about it. He traveled thousands of miles and came back under the stars and the moon!

"Brother, when did you come back?"

Li Yuanbei said calmly, "We arrived at the county town early this morning!"

"what?"

The train from Yanjing to Hongshan County runs at 6:00 and arrives at 1:00 am.

That means Big Brother set off yesterday morning?

"Big Brother came back on a motorcycle!" Li Yuanbei saw the flicker in his eyes and explained, reminding him, "He rode all day, covering two thousand miles, and fought his way back! I heard from the villagers in the same courtyard as Auntie that the pool where Big Brother washes his clothes had been changed four or five times that morning, and it was completely muddy!"

Li Dingxi glanced at his sister and said innocently, "Second brother, you are in trouble!"

"..." Li Chaodong's mouth shrank and he shrank his shoulders in fear.

"Are you scared now?" Li Yuanbei was very satisfied with her sister's words. She gave Dingxi an encouraging and gratifying look and sat down on the wooden floor. "So Chaodong, tell me, why didn't you go during the two days of the college entrance examination?"

Li Chaodong's face froze, and his expression suddenly changed several times. He silently turned his body around, facing away from the two of them, then grabbed the food from the brown paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Dingxi glanced at his sister.

"Anyway, I didn't cause any trouble!" Li Chaodong said vaguely.

"You didn't get into trouble?"

Li Yuanbei laughed at this. "You haven't gotten into trouble, so why are you hiding here? Do you know what these three days are? Li Chaodong, it's the college entrance examination! Do you know what the college entrance examination means?"

"You don't have to tell me!" Li Chaodong said fiercely, "I know what the college entrance examination is!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Li Dingxi quickly squatted down beside Chaodong and shook his shoulder. "Second brother, come back with us. No matter what mistakes you made, I trust my family. We won't say anything to you! Our family is different from other families!"

"Dingxi, don't worry about it!" Li Chaodong shook his head.

"Second brother~" Li Dingxi shouted and looked at his sister again.

Crash!

Li Yuanbei took down the kerosene lamp. She propped herself up and suddenly shone the lamp on Li Chaodong's face, saying sternly, "You're a grown man, can't you take some responsibility? What happened that required you to skip the college entrance exam and run all the way back home from the county town? Can't you just say whatever you want? Just say it, Chaodong, and I'll respect you as a man!"

"..." Li Chaodong remained silent and just ate his meal. He ate half of the brown paper bag he took out and put the rest under the wooden window to eat tomorrow.

Seeing him doing all this silently, Li Yuanbei was furious.

"Are you not going to tell me anymore? Do you have such a stubborn temper?"

"You guys go!" Li Chaodong shook his head: "You don't have to bring me food tomorrow!"

Li Dingxi silently took out a military water bottle filled with cold tea from his bag.

"Don't bring water!" Li Chaodong took it, glanced at Li Dingxi, and added.

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat shit!"

This dead pig's unfazed appearance immediately made Li Yuanbei angry. She grabbed the brown paper bag and stuffed it all into her bag, shouting, "Dingxi, put away the water!"

"What are you doing?" Li Chaodong tried to grab it, but he had just eaten a little to regain some strength, so he was no match for the two people combined.

"Hmph, Li Chaodong, do you know? My eldest brother didn't sleep all night because of you. My second uncle, second aunt, and sister-in-law were all worried sick! He rode his bike back from Yanjing on the national highway and almost died on the way!"

Li Chaodong let go of the hand holding the shoulder bag.

"Also, your uncle and aunt have been waiting for you for days. They're so anxious! My uncle originally had a job in the district because of the college entrance examination, but he had to take leave and let a colleague take your place! My dad also took leave to come and see you!"

"Your family is searching everywhere for you, your neighbors are helping, your teachers and classmates from school, as well as people from the Education Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, are all looking for you in the county town! I heard from Auntie's neighbors that if they can't find you tomorrow, they'll probably have to fish your body out of the Jin River!"

Bang!

When Li Yuanbei said this, she also became excited. She threw her bag to the ground, grabbed Li Chaodong's collar and pushed him against the roof.

"Li Chaodong, everyone is worried sick about you! Have you ever been educated? How can you eat and sleep peacefully? If I were you, I would be so embarrassed that I would die!"

Li Yuanbei stared into his eyes and said word by word: "Li Chaodong, I look down on you!"

"You...let...me...go!" Li Chaodong squeezed her hand, blushing and struggling. He yelled, "Do you think I want this?"

"Ah? Do I want to?" His hysterical expression was ferocious, yet contained grievance, resentment and anger. He squatted down with his head in his hands, pinching his hair tightly.

"Then you tell me..."

"I was riding my bike with Zhang Yang almost to the exam venue when I saw a tractor turn off the side road and nearly hit an old lady. The tractor driver, trying to avoid it, crashed into a pile of firewood and plunged into the Jin River. The old lady was so frightened that she lost her footing and fell into the water!"

"Everyone in the county was watching the excitement at the school exam site, and no one paid any attention to the accident here! Zhang Yang and I finally rescued the two people, but the driver was still dazed, and the old lady had already passed out! Seeing that time was running out, I asked Zhang Yang to go take the exam immediately, and I carried the old lady on my back and rushed her to the county hospital!"

Li Yuanbei and Li Dingxi widened their eyes in shock, stunned by everything Li Chaodong said.

"Luckily, I got there in time. I waited until I saw the old lady being taken to the hospital and rescued before I left! I left the hospital and asked someone for the time. The exam was already halfway through. I rushed over, but when I got to the school, I realized my admission ticket was in my bag. When I returned to the accident site, my bag was gone, and so was the driver... I searched everywhere but couldn't find anything. When I ran back, the first exam had already ended half an hour ago!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Li Chaodong's regretful words rang in his ears, and his sobbing cries expressed his unwillingness.

Li Yuanbei was speechless, and Li Dingxi was crying silently.

Neither of them had expected this to happen.

"Who did you save?" Li Yuanbei asked.

"How would I know!" Li Chaodong's eyes were red. "I didn't feel like caring! That day, I stood outside the closed school gates and thought, 'I'm done!' I got zero points on the first, crucial exam, politics! And, my admission ticket is gone! I can't take the rest of the exams!"

"I'm sorry to my sister-in-law, sorry to my elder brother, sorry to my family, sorry to my teachers and classmates for their concern, and even more sorry to myself for all the hard work I've put in over the past few years!"

The tree house suddenly became silent.

The flame of the kerosene lamp flickered, illuminating three faces with different expressions.

At this moment, the door of the tree house was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Li Xiangnan stood at the door, his body covered in dust, looking like it was coated with a layer of gold powder under the light.

"Chaodong," he said, his voice hoarse but warm. "You did the right thing."
