Chapter 344: The College Entrance Examination is Over

As the days go by, summer arrives, and the college entrance examination arrives as scheduled.

Gu Sheng and Xue Qin went to the school once to cheer up Gu Feng and Gu Ya, and told them not to have too much pressure and to just take the exam normally.

They were nervously and anxiously waiting at home to pick up their children after the college entrance examination.

Two days before the college entrance examination, on the morning of June 9th, Gu Sheng drove a small truck to pick up the two children.

After watching the graduation ceremony, parents were notified to pick up their children.

We had a lot of stuff living in the school dormitory, but luckily we had a small truck that could hold all our belongings.

Gu Sheng even went across the street to bring them milk tea.

"Dad, sit down and rest for a while before going back." Gu Ya said, worried that her father was tired from moving things.

Gu Sheng looked at the campus scenery with a smile. He had been to the school several times but never took a close look at it. Maybe he wouldn't have the chance to do so in the future.

After resting for a while, several people got in the car and went home.

Xue Qin got up early in the morning, first caught a chicken from the chicken coop and slaughtered it, then went to catch a delicious and fat sea bass, and then went to milk some cows.

Gu Xi smiled helplessly as she watched her mother busying around. Her mother's nervous and excited look was exactly the same as when she was taking the college entrance examination.

I can't wait to eat all the food I didn't have before, and I can't wait to prepare a family feast.

Gu Xi sat next to Grandpa and watched him folding straw hats. Her eyes sparkled and she asked curiously, "Grandpa, I went to Uncle Wang's house to learn how to fold straw hats for a while, but the ones I folded didn't look very good. Yours looks very good."

Folding straw hats is time-consuming and laborious, but the collection is cheap, and the collection is based on quality. There are green bamboo and white bamboo, and the prices of the two are different. It seems that green bamboo is more expensive.

Grandpa fiddled with the bamboo strips, and put several pieces together in just a few clicks of his fingers. He was very skilled and it was worthy of him who had been doing this work for decades.

"This is all slow and careful work, and you won't earn much money. It's just to kill time." Grandpa chuckled.

Gu Xi nodded. That was true. The elderly people in the village didn’t go out to play, nor did they play with their mobile phones. They basically didn’t watch TV series. They just sat at the doorstep folding straw hats to pass the time and still earn enough money for a few meals.

"Xiao Feng is back. Let him accompany you to cut bamboo and carve bamboo strips." Gu Xi looked at her grandfather with a smile. He could do all these jobs.

After I marry Azhe in the future, I can let Azhe learn this craft. After all, it can help kill time. As for retirement, happiness is the most important thing, but you also need to exercise your muscles.

Xue Qin was still plucking chicken feathers when she suddenly remembered that the refrigerator at home was empty, so she shouted, "My daughter, go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables, carrots, and corn. Make some soup for your sister-in-law tonight. It's really hard work."

Gu Xi smiled muffledly, stood up, picked up the key of the electric scooter, put on the bamboo hat next to it, and drove the electric scooter into Li Kiln.

Now in summer, the weather is hot, and few people come here to travel. After all, there is no place to play in the water, so it is not easy to attract tourists. Liyao is as quiet as a chicken, and you can hear a few shouts from passing cattle and sheep.

I sold a batch before, and now it's quite empty. The rest is self-sufficient, and I can plant another batch when the weather is good. Gu Xi bent down and pulled out four carrots, then placed a few corn cobs, tore off the corn silk on the top, and put them on the ground. He ran into the vegetable area and took a look at Shanghai greens, Chinese cabbage, spinach, water spinach, and lettuce. In the end, he decisively chose Chinese cabbage, which tasted crispy and crunchy. I guess my younger brothers and sisters basically didn't have any to eat at school.

With quick movements, he picked up a large bundle of vegetables and put it into the basket, and then picked up the vegetables on the ground and put them in.

I drove back leisurely on my electric scooter.

When I got home, I saw my dad driving a pickup truck from not far away, and he soon arrived at my doorstep.

Gu Feng got out of the car, his eyes lit up: "Sister!"

Gu Ya refused to give in: "Sister, I'm back!"

Gu Xi opened her arms and smiled: "Our great hero is back, we are finally free!"

Every student thinks that the day of liberation comes after the college entrance examination, but they don’t know that even after entering the university of their dreams, there is still no end to learning.

Gu Feng and Gu Ya both rushed over and hugged him tightly.

I helped my sister take the vegetables back, put away my schoolbag, and went outside to move my own luggage.

Xue Qin stepped out with a smile on her face, "Pile the quilts and pillows in the guest room downstairs first, I'll clean them all tomorrow."

Gu Sheng nodded, and several people were busy moving things.

Half an hour later, I finally stopped and had a cup of cold brew tea.

Gu Xi made the cold brew tea. She felt that the tea had a very light fragrance and tasted neither bitter nor astringent. It was delicious.

Xue Qin brought out a fruit plate and some milk she had prepared, "Eat, my dears."

Gu Feng and Gu Ya smiled at each other and drank the milk first. It tasted pure and sweet and was so delicious.

"Did you produce milk this year?" Gu Ya was surprised.

"Yes, several ewes have given birth, and the milk supply is not very large." Xue Qin responded.

Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then drank a glass as well. This time the milk seemed to be even purer and thicker than last time.

Gu Ya smiled and said, "When we were in school, we also ordered milk from our class, but we always felt that it was not as delicious as the milk at home. It was lighter, probably because it was diluted with water."

So I never felt like I could get used to drinking it, but I couldn’t waste it after buying it, and it’s a bit expensive. Fortunately, the soup and eggs are delicious.
