Acai's Sky

Shortly after the New Year, Ah Cai went to the school in Hu County with full expectations to take part in an exam of great significance - the high school graduation exam of that era.

This exam not only requires candidates to recognize an astonishing 2,000 characters, but also requires Acai to take tests in a series of other subjects.

Acai got what she wished for and held the high school diploma tightly in her hand, which symbolized her academic achievement.

Afterwards, she happily followed her father and several brothers to register for junior high school.

After receiving her new textbooks, Ah Cai learned that she only needed to come to school regularly to take exams and did not need to attend classes every day.

However, Ah Cai was facing a big problem at this time:

It’s not that she is unwilling to communicate with others, but her strong northeastern accent has become an insurmountable obstacle.

For a while, it was really not easy for Acai to integrate into the new environment smoothly and talk freely with classmates.

Whenever the words came to her lips, she would unconsciously think of the system translation function that could easily achieve language conversion, and her heart couldn't help but surge with memories of the good old days.

Li Huaishan, who finally had the opportunity to take his baby daughter out of the mountains, was determined to let Acai enjoy this rare time out.

So he took Acai on an interesting journey, visiting ancient ruins in Xi'an, Xianyang and other places that had been carefully restored.

These ancient monuments have gone through the vicissitudes of time and are now regained, attracting many tourists.

In many important areas, you can see heroic PLA soldiers standing guard to ensure the safety of every visitor.

Whether entering or leaving these monuments, people must present relevant certificates to maintain order and security at the venue.

For Ah Cai, this trip has a special meaning - this is the first time in her life that she has visited the ancient monuments that she had personally participated in repairing in broad daylight!

Walking through the area and seeing the once dilapidated buildings now looking brand new, Ah Cai's heart was filled with joy and pride.

At this moment, the areas where they were located had all been placed under the jurisdiction of the central government, and a comprehensive military management system had been implemented. Everything seemed to be well organized and in good order.

The museum is under construction, and in the future all small antique artifacts will be exhibited here.

...

The streets and alleys of Xi'an are bustling with people coming and going, it is very lively.

The roadsides are lined with all kinds of vendors doing business, and the shouts of hawkers can be heard one after another.

At this moment, private individuals can still buy and sell goods freely.

Ah Cai was chewing a sweet and delicious candied haws in her mouth, holding a delicate and beautiful sugar painting tightly in one hand, and looking around curiously with her big eyes.

There were bursts of cheers and laughter coming from not far away. It turned out that someone was performing a ring-tossing game and an amazing chest-breaking stone-breaking stunt.

Ah Cai clapped her hands excitedly. Suddenly, she seemed to see something interesting. She quickly pointed at a group of people gathered in the distance and anxiously asked Li Huaishan to come over.

Li Huaishan smiled dotingly, hugged Acai tightly and walked quickly in that direction.

After finally squeezing to the front of the crowd, they discovered that this was actually a stall selling puppies.

There were several large bamboo baskets placed on the ground, and in each basket were curled up a few cute puppies. They looked like they were just born not long ago, and their furry appearance was very cute.

However, when Ah Cai took a closer look, she couldn't help but twitch her lips and cursed inwardly, "Oh my god, what's going on? When did wolf cubs get sold along with the puppies?"

It turned out that among the group of puppies, there was a unique little gray guy who was staring at the surroundings with his round eyes and baring his teeth. His fierce look was in sharp contrast to the other docile and well-behaved puppies.

Li Huaishan and his two sons were obviously attracted by these cute puppies.

Li Huaishan enthusiastically picked out a golden puppy, while Li Jingqi took a fancy to a little fellow with snow-white fur but with yellow markings on its body; the second brother chose a pure black puppy, but its limbs and paws were dotted with a few strands of white hair, making it look particularly playful.

Just when everyone was busy choosing their favorite puppies, Acai walked straight to the bamboo basket containing the gray wolf cub without saying a word, picked it up, and then held it carefully in his arms.

The little wolf cub didn't seem to be happy to be held by Acai. It kept twisting its body, showing its sharp teeth and making low growls. But Acai didn't show any fear at all. Instead, she teased it with a smile.

Li Jingqi carefully held the puppies he had carefully selected and said with a worried look on his face, "These little guys are really too young and weak. When we take them back, I guess they'll just get beaten up!"

Li Jinghong, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his brother's words. He asked in confusion, "Ah? Brother, who would bully them? Is there such a domineering guy in our family?"

Li Jingqi's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at his brother with a playful smile and replied, "Why not? Think about it, those geese my little sister raises are just like that! Which one hasn't pecked you hard a few times?"

When Li Jinghong mentioned those damn geese, he gnashed his teeth in anger and said viciously, "Hmph! When I get back, I'm going to stew them! Let them taste my power!"

As he spoke, he waved his fist, as if he had already seen the big goose become a delicious dish on the table.

However, Li Jingqi couldn't help laughing and teasing his brother: "Haha, it's not easy to stew them! Maybe they will bite off a few pieces of your flesh before you can do it! Do you believe it?"

After saying this, Li Jingqi even had a funny scene in his mind of his younger brother being bitten on the butt by a big goose and screaming in pain, which made him laugh even harder.

Speaking of those geese, I don’t know how my sister feeds them. Not only are they fat and strong, but their ability to guard the house is no less than that of the dog at home.

And once a stranger approaches, they will spread their wings, stretch their necks, and make bursts of shrill calls that can almost burst a person's eardrums.

He shook his head and said, "The iron pot is too big to hold the goose!"
