Quickly wear a life of peace

After this accident, the team leader was very angry. He gathered everyone together and held a meeting. He criticized by name those who were absent-minded after the exam and scolded them severely.

Only then did everyone force themselves to cheer up and work seriously.

Xuanyunduo was confident that he would pass the exam, so he lived his life with peace of mind.

I was thinking that I would be leaving soon, as it would not be as convenient to eat seafood as it is now.

Moreover, she plans to apply to a university in the provincial capital of her hometown, which is also a top university and close to home.

Although Zhejiang Province is also close to the sea, her home and school are not close to the sea.

So now, whenever she is free, Xuanyunduo will go to the sea to collect more seafood. If she finds good ones, she will not exchange them for work points, but put them all into the space bracelet, which she specially took out to store seafood. Time stands still in it, so the seafood can be kept fresh.

I also have to pack up and prepare to leave.

In short, Xuanyue still has a lot to do before leaving.

Chen Shujing and Xuanyunduo were in the same room. Seeing her packing her things, she asked in surprise, "You started packing so early? Are you so confident that you can pass the exam?"

Xuanyunduo shook her head. "That's not the case. I just want to find something to do to distract myself. Otherwise, I'll always be thinking about whether I passed the exam and get anxious. Besides, if I passed, I can go back quickly. If I didn't, I can clean up my room and live comfortably by myself."

Chen Shujing thought it made sense and started to clean up as well.

As time went by, everyone became more and more anxious.

Finally, the first notification letter arrived. It was from a high school student in the village who was admitted to a junior college.

After the first one, more and more people received the notification letters.

Those who didn’t receive it became even more anxious.

Xuanyunduo also received the admission letter and was admitted to Z University as she wished.

Half of the educated youth have left the training center. Chen Shujing and Li Weiguo also returned two days ago. They were admitted to the Normal University in Ontario.

Xuanyunduo took cigarettes and candies and went to see the captain and got a letter of introduction.

The team leader and the branch secretary have been staying at the team headquarters recently to facilitate the procedures for issuing letters of introduction to those who want to go to school.

Seeing Xuanyunduo, the two smiled sincerely, "Congratulations to Xu Zhiqing, you must study hard and serve the motherland in the future."

Xuanyunduo also responded with a smile, "Yes, I will definitely work hard and live up to the motherland's cultivation of me."

The two laughed out loud, "Xu Zhiqing, we believe in you, you are great."

The two of them quickly wrote the letter of introduction and gave it to Xuanyuduo, who also gave them cigarettes and candies.

The two men had stern faces and refused to accept it. Xuanyunduo put it down and ran away, "Uncle Liang, Uncle Wang, just accept it and share in the good fortune."

Xuanyunduo took the letter of introduction and left with his luggage.

The things have been sent back in advance, leaving only the things I will use with me, which is convenient to carry.

Those that could not be taken away were directly given away. In that era of material scarcity, no one disliked other people’s used things and everyone was happy to accept them.

When he met people watching the fun along the way, he generously allowed them to look at him, and even gave two pieces of candy to each of the children playing nearby.

After changing several trains along the way, they finally arrived at the train station. The earliest train was not until the next morning. Xuanyunduo bought a ticket, sent a telegram to his family, and then stayed in a nearby hotel for one night.

The next day, we finally got on the train back home. Xuanyueduo sighed that life is really not easy for people in this era and traveling is time-consuming and laborious.

After sitting on the train for several days, Xuanyunduo couldn't wait to rush out as soon as the train arrived at the station. The smell in the train was so overpowering, and there were so many people and it was so noisy that it was really uncomfortable.

As soon as she reached the exit with her luggage, Xu Qingmao stretched out his hand and called her, "Duoduo, Duoduo, here, Dad is here."

While shouting, they squeezed towards Xuanyunduo.

Xuanyunduo also saw him and followed the crowd towards him.

Xu Qingmao took the luggage from Xuanyunduo and said, "I'm glad you're back. Your mother is cooking at home. Let's go home."

Xu Qingmao came riding a tricycle that he had made himself, and Xuanyunduo sat on the back of the tricycle. On the way, they talked to Xu Qingmao about their experiences in the countryside over the past two years.

"Dad, is our family doing okay these two years since I went to the countryside?" Xuanyunduo looked at his father's back and felt that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Xu Qingmao smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy last month, and everything is fine at home. But you, you are suffering in the countryside, right?"

"I'm fine. People in the team take good care of me, and I get along well with the educated youth. I'm lucky. There's nothing terrible where I go." Xuanyunduo thought that Pinglang Village was indeed a very good place. There was little work to do and he could eat well.

Xu Qingmao nodded, "That's good. Your mother has been talking about you every day, and now she's finally back."

The father and daughter talked all the way and before they knew it they were home.

Liu Ruolan had already prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were Xuanyuduo's favorites.

When her younger sister Xu Youyou saw Xuanyunduo, she enthusiastically went forward and hugged her, "Sister, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Xuanyunduo hugged Xu Youyou back and said, "Well, I'm back. I brought you a gift. I'll give it to you after dinner."

Xu Youyou cheered, "Thank you, sister."

Younger brother Xu Jianshe has grown a lot taller, but he is obviously unfamiliar with Xuanyunduo, his sister who has been away for two years.

Xuanyunduo took the initiative to greet him with a smile: "Don't you recognize me, Jianshe? Why are you hiding so far away?"

Xu Jianshe then stepped forward awkwardly and called out shyly, "Big sister."

Liu Ruolan, who was standing by, joked, "Normally he was like a monkey, no one could control him, but now he's behaved well."

Xu Jianshe scratched his head and chuckled.

The family chatted and laughed, and soon the strangeness after not seeing each other for a long time disappeared.

At noon, the family sat together and had a sumptuous lunch. After lunch, everyone went to work or school, leaving only Duoduo at home.

Xuanyunduo washed up and returned to the room where she lived with her sister.

There is a bunk bed inside. In the past, the two sisters often slept together, but now they have grown up and it would be a bit crowded to sleep together.

Therefore, Liu Ruolan specially tidied up the upper bunk so that the two sisters could sleep more comfortably.

The bed was covered with a brand new duvet cover, and the quilt had been dried in the sun, giving off a faint scent of sunshine.

Xuanyunduo lay in the warm bed and fell asleep soon.

It was not until the evening when the family was about to return that Xuanyunduo woke up, took out the dried seafood and dried meat, and cooked a meal.

Xu Jianbin's family will also be coming over tonight, so Xuanyunduo made a little more.

The meal was not ready yet when Xu Youyou and Xu Jianshe came back.

As soon as she came back and smelled the fragrance of food, Xu Youyou couldn't wait to ask: "Wow! Sister, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good, I want to try it first." After that, she ran to the kitchen.

Xu Jianshe also kept swallowing his saliva as he smelled the fragrance of the food. He couldn't help but say, "Sister, your cooking skills are really good. It smells so good. Is there any meat today? I smell meat." As he said that, he followed Xu Youyou to the kitchen.

Xuanyunduo slapped Xu Youyou's restless hands and said, "Go wash your hands. Mom and Dad will be back soon. Wait until everyone is here before eating."

They were both growing up and were most likely to get hungry. Upon hearing this, they both showed disappointed expressions. However, they still obediently washed their hands.

Seeing this, Xuanyunduo took out a bag of squid strips she made herself and said to the two of them, "Hey, take this and eat it to fill your stomach first."

Both of them's eyes lit up and they reached out to grab it at the same time. In the end, Xu Youyou won by relying on his height advantage.

Xu Jianshe was not willing to be outdone and chased after him to snatch it, and the two of them started to quarrel.

Xuanyunduo shook her head in amusement and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

A meat dish and a steamed egg have been prepared, dried meat is being steamed in the pot, seafood porridge is being cooked, and a fish is being simmered on the stove. The only thing missing is a vegetable.

Xu Qingmao and his wife, Xu Jianbin and his family also came back one after another. Xuanyunduo just stir-fried the vegetables a few times and then they were ready to eat.

Everyone sat around the dining table, and Liu Ruolan and Yu Hongmei went into the kitchen and brought out the food.

Xuanyunduo simply cleaned up the stove and prepared the sauce before coming out.

"Okay, it's time to eat." Xuanyunduo said with a smile.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks. Xu Qingmao didn't waste any time. He said, "Let's eat!" and picked up a piece of fish. Others also couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.

"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious!" Xu Youyou said vaguely while eating.

"Well, this air-dried meat tastes really good." Xu Jianbin also praised it highly.

Xuanyunduo said without any modesty, "Of course, it tastes better if there's meat."

In fact, it’s just because everyone is craving for meat and Xuanyueduo is willing to use more oil.

The whole family happily enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

After the meal, Xu Jianbin and Xu Jianshe consciously went to clean up the dishes.

Xuanyunduo took out the gifts he brought for everyone.

Xu Qingmao and his two sons all have an electronic watch, while Liu Ruolan has a silk scarf that she embroidered herself.

Xu Youyou was wearing a bra, and Yu Hongmei, not knowing her figure, also gave her a silk scarf, but she bought it in the bright red color that people of that generation loved the most.

Yu Hongmei also gave Xuanyunduo a fountain pen as a gift. "Big sister, I don't know what you like. I heard from your brother that you love reading and studying the most, and you were admitted to university, so I bought you a fountain pen. Do you like it?"

Xuanyunduo took the pen and saw that it was still from Yingxiong. She smiled and nodded, "I like it. Thank you, sister-in-law. It just happened to be useful."

He took out another red envelope and stuffed it into Xu Ruxuan's hand. "This is Ruxuan, she's really pretty, as beautiful as my sister-in-law. This is a meeting gift from my aunt. Keep it and buy whatever you want."

Then he took out a box of colorful hairpins and gave them to her. The little girl was six or seven years old, and it was time for her to love beauty, so she happily accepted it.

As for the little nephew sleeping in the cradle nearby, Xuanyunduo took out a golden longevity lock and handed it to Yu Hongmei, "Sister-in-law, this is for my little nephew, please keep it for him first."

Yu Hongmei was shocked. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so generous and give her such a valuable gift. She didn't dare to reach out to take it and could not help but look at her husband Xu Jianbin.

Xu Jianbin directly asked her to accept it, "Take it, my elder sister is a rich woman, she has a lot of money!"

Then he handed a red envelope that he had prepared long ago to Xuanyueduo, "Duoyue, this is the bicycle ticket that I got from Da Ge Tao, and the money is ready, take it, and buy a new bicycle when you go to school."

Xuanyunduo accepted it without hesitation, "Thank you, big brother."

I still made money this time. After all, gold was not that valuable at that time and it was not easy to show off, but it was not as popular as bicycles.

After dinner, we got to know each other. It was getting late, so everyone started to pack up, wash up, and go back to their rooms to sleep.

Xu Jianbin's family also stayed. They had a room at home, and Xu Ruxuan slept with Xu Youyou.

Early the next morning, Yu Hongmei got up and started making breakfast for the family.

Xuanyunduo had sharp eyes and ears, and woke up when he heard the noise and came out to help her.

The two of them were talking quietly in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of positions vacant now, do you and brother have any ideas?"

Yu Hongmei sighed and said, "Xiao Chao is still too young to be left alone, so I can only stay at home now. But your eldest brother stopped working as a temporary worker and joined the transport team as a driver, driving short distances. Although the salary is not as high as long-distance driving, he can take care of the family and there is no danger. The salary is enough to support the family."

Xuanyunduo nodded and said, "Brother, your grades are not bad, why didn't you pass the exam? Have you checked? Don't let someone impersonate you."

Xuanyue's worries were not unreasonable. She had seen such things with her own eyes in the previous world.

Yu Hongmei paused for a moment before continuing, "He has wasted all his knowledge in the years since he graduated. Before the college entrance examination, I was about to give birth and my body was reacting badly. Your eldest brother was busy with family matters and was unable to prepare well. He himself said that he did not do well in the exam."

After hearing this, Xuanyunduo understood and comforted her, "That's okay. Working in a transport team is actually pretty good. The salary is relatively high, and the work intensity is not too high. There is also a chance to earn some extra income, which is also good!"

Yu Hongmei nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then stopped talking.

Soon, breakfast was ready. Yu Hongmei cooked a pot of pumpkin porridge, served it with shredded pickles, and stewed egg custard.

The timing was perfect. When the meal was ready, the family had just finished washing up and could start eating breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Jianbin rode his bicycle to work. Because the transport team had a long distance to go, he needed to leave early.

Other family members also left one after another, some went to work, some went to school, and Yu Hongmei took Xu Ruxuan and Xu Zhichao back to the new house.

Xuanyunduo had nothing to do and was thinking about doing something to make some money.

The economy was about to take off, and she could only achieve her goal of becoming a wealthy woman if she accumulated enough original capital as soon as possible.

She looked around the utility room and saw some scraps of cloth and untied wool, and an idea came to her mind.
