Chapter 100
Because Shen Family often drove a car to Qiao Family, a car wasn't something rare sight for the villagers of the Qili production team.
But when the two premium sedan cars entered the production team, it caught everyone's attention.
"My god, is that also a car? Why is it so big?"
"Ain't that right? It's much more expensive than Qiao Family's god-relatives'. What's more, it's so new and stylish looking. One can tell it's very expensive at first glance!"
"It's one thing whether it's expensive or not. The question is why did this car come to our production team? Could it be they're Qiao Family's god-relatives too?"
"But didn't Auntie Xiu Zhi couple go to town to send their granddaughter off to the college entrance examination? If god-relatives comes, they wouldn't have left."
Everyone had their own guesses. Their eyes were stuck to the two cars like glue.
When Wang Shui Sheng saw the car, he didn't plan to go there immediately despite his slight curious. Still, his eyes kept following the cars.
The two cars stopped when they arrived at the production team's office. Seeing this, Wang Shui Sheng knew that he couldn't leave it.
He left some instruction with everyone and was about to go over when he saw the director of the community rushing over on a broken bicycle. His face was so red that he didn't know whether it was due to anxiety or exercise.
Seeing Wang Shui Sheng, he abruptly braked. The bicycle almost dived into the field: "Why are you still standing here? Did you see the mayor passing by?"
Mayor?
Hearing these two words, let alone the villagers, even Wang Shui Sheng was stunned: "Why did the mayor suddenly come here? Did something happen?"
The director of the community had been chasing the car all the way and was already exhausted. He waved his hand and ushered, "Don't ask any more. You will know when quickly you go over."
Wang Shui Sheng hurriedly rolled down his trousers and ran towards the office while sorting his clothes and hair.
At this moment, the door of a car behind was opened. A tall man walked out from inside. He was wearing a black suit and a pair of black leather shoes. His hair was combed back. Each strand seemed to be specially shaped.
The mayor got off the car in front and smiled at the man in the black suit: "Mr. Huo, this is Qili production team. The person you're looking for is... I'll call the production leader here."
In fact, he didn't know the true identity of this Mr. Huo. He received a special called and was instructed to entertain the other party; saying that this person not only had the ability to develop their entire town, but even the entire county. So no matter what they must not disappoint the other party.
He was very shocked when he heard this. Nor did he dared to ask any more questions. He quickly patted his chest and promised that he would definitely entertain the other party. That was why he was personally accompanying him now!
The community director rushed over on a bicycle. Behind him was Wang Shui Sheng, who was running on his legs. Even like this, the mayor felt they were slow and kept rushing them.
Wang Shui Sheng was running out of breath. He came over and asked, "Mayor, Zhen, is there anything I can help you with?"
The mayor waved his hand and said, "I don't need your help here. But this Mr. Huo has something to ask you!"
Mr. Huo?
When Wang Shui Sheng heard the surname, he immediately thought of the pair of wicked ones in the pigsty.
He turned his head to look at the other party. Immediately, he was stunned. He wondered if it was an illusion. He kept having a feeling that Mr. Huo was a little familiar.
Huo Zheng Chen turned around and politely gave a slight bow to Wang Shui Sheng, "Hello, my name is Huo Zheng Chen. I heard my father, Huo Hua Qing, wife and children were transferred from the farm to your production team five years ago. Might you know where they are now? Are they… okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Shui Sheng froze again. He was wondering how he felt a little familiar just now. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be father and son!
It was just who was this person who can actually make the mayor personally accompany him. If he finds out that his son was gone later, would he take his anger on him?
Wang Shui Sheng's heart instantly felt a like drum: "They are... over at the pigsty."
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he said this. They couldn't be blamed though. Huo Family was bad people. They definitely couldn't live in a good place.
In fact, compared with other wicked ones, Huo Family was doing well. Especially in the past two years. Except for not being able to freely move, they were almost the same as other villagers.
Hearing the pigsty, Huo Zheng Chen's face showed a slight response. But he didn't blame Wang Shui Sheng: "Can I trouble you to show me the way?"
Wang Shui Sheng's head kept bobbing. Then he waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble. I'll take you there."
With that said, he quickly led the group towards the pigsty.
At this time, he was very fortunate that he brought someone to repair the pigsty two years ago.
When they arrived at the pigsty, the mayor smelled the stench. Taking in the surrounding environment, his heart started thumping.
He never thought Mr. Huo's father was a wicked one. Since his father was a wicked one, why didn't he join with him back then?
Everyone had countless questions in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
Huo Zheng Chen's leather shoes stepped on the muddy ground and walked in step by step. Excitment and sullenness pumped in his heart.
With so much a large movement outside, Dai Shu Fang heard it in the kitchen and ran out while wiping her hands. When she saw a tall man standing in front of the main room, she suddenly felt a very strange feeling.
This back was inexplicably familiar.
She frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Huo Zheng Chen heard the voice from behind. His body came to a sudden halt. Then he slowly turned around. The woman in sight seemed so familiar to him that he could even recognized even if turned into ashes. But also so unfamiliar that he wanted to cry.
She was wearing patched clothes. Her face was pale and sallow. White hairs were faintly visible on the temples.
In his memory, his wife was a well-known beauty with plump cheeks and a rosy face. She was always wearing the most fashionable clothes. He never dreamed that one day she would become like this!
Huo Zheng Chen's lips trembled and he choked out, "Fang Fang."
When the other party turned around, Dai Shu Fang's eyes instantly widened. She stared at him as if she had seen a ghost.
Even if the man in front of her turned to ashes, she won't forget. But he was already dead!
Twelve years ago, when Huo Chi was just one year old, he personally transported military supplies in order to support the country's war with the foreign. Never thought he wouldn't come back after going on that trip.
If she didn't have a child, she would have followed him. Two years after he was gone, they were stamped as wicked ones and then driven to the farm.
Twelve years! The person she thought had been dead for twelve years suddenly appeared in front of her again!
Dai Shu Fang looked at him and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Before Huo Zheng Chen could answer, an old man walked into the door. This man was none other than Huo Hua Qing.
Like Dai Shu Fang, Huo Hua Qing was stunned and couldn't react when he saw his son who had been dead for twelve years suddenly standing in front of him.
Huo Zheng Chen saw his white-haired father and suddenly felt sad. Kneeling down at him, he spoke, "Dad, unfilial son is back!"
"You! You're still alive?"
Huo Hua Qing's eyed were pinned to him to the point that his eyeballs were almost protruded.
Huo Zheng Chen's eyes were red: "Dad, I'm still alive!"
As soon as the words were out, Dai Shu Fang rushed up and beat him for a while: "You are alive! Then why didn't you come back before? Why?"
In the past twelve years, his death had become a scar they dared not mention. In the past twelve years, they had been struggling on the edge of hell, while he had lived brightly!
Huo Zheng Chen let her beat and vent.
Back then, he sent the military supplies to the battlefield. It was unknown who leaked the news and they met the enemy halfway. The two sides fought. Before he went unconscious, he went flying from the explosion. His head hit against a rock. What happened afterward was unclear.
When he woke up, he had no memory. What's more, he didn't know something went wrong in the middle and he became a black worker in Country Mi.
Those years in Country Mi, he had a very bad life. He had no identity and no human rights. He worked day and night. At the slightest drop of pace, he would be beaten.
He endured it for more than three years before he found the opportunity to escape from the black workshop. After that, with the help of a noble person, he got a new identity and began to help the noble person.
Later, he became independent from the noble person and started to create his own business. In less than ten years, he accumulated a fortune that others couldn't earn in a lifetime.
It was just that for so many years, he hadn't recovered his memory until a few months ago when he hit his head again. The memory that disappeared for many years suddenly came back.
After recovering his memory, he immediately rushed to Xiang Jiang from Country Mi. He requested help to find the whereabouts of his family through various connections and contacts.
Huo Hua Qing looked at his son with cloudy eyes and burst into tears.
No one from outside came in; leaving the space for the family of three.
Since last year, people had been vindicated one after another.
When the villagers knew that Huo Family in the pigsty had been vindicated, everyone was shocked.
They never thought 't wicked ones could be vindicated one day. Looking at this situation, Huo Family in the pigsty had an amazing background!
At once, everyone regretted it.
If they had known that Huo Family would be vindicated or had known that their background was so great, they would had treated them better in the first place!
Now, it was too late!
Speaking of it, Huo Family seem to have a good relationship with Qiao Family. Especially the drowned Huo Chi, who had a good relationship with Da Qiao back then.
Now that Huo Family had been vindicated, they will definitely thank Qiao Family.
Why was Qiao Family so lucky?
Casually saving someone and it was the son of the deputy chief. Lose a daughter and end up gaining god-relatives from the city. Now supporting wicked ones, they end up supporting someone important!
Why didn't they have such luck!?
It was same people with different life!
Everyone looked at Huo Family's high-end car. Some of them were thick-skinned. They rushed up to get close. However, there was a person who was hiding in the crowd and didn't dare to get close.
This person was none other than Wan Chun Ju.
When Wan Chun Ju was working in the pigsty, she often ordered Huo Family around. From time to time, she almost poked her fingers in their faces and called them wicked ones.
It wasn't until she stopped working in the pigsty that she didn't continue to scold them. But seeing them on the road, despising them was always a must.
Unexpectedly, trapped-in-the-mud wicked ones would have their vindication one day. And the mayor himself came to accompany him to pick them up. One can imagine how scary this background was.
Wan Chun Ju thought of what she had done back then and her legs went weak with fright.
She wanted to stealthily sneak home while no one noticed her. Just as she turned around, she was stopped by someone.
"Eldest Qiao's wife, aren't your Qiao Family and Huo Family close? Why didn't you join in?"
"Yeah. It's not like your character!"
In the past, when Shen Family came over, Wan Chun Ju looked like she was a tongue-wagging dog. Now the other party was accompanied by the mayor, she didn't go up to please them. Which was very abnormal.
With such call, Dai Shu Fang noticed Wan Chun Ju and walked towards her step by step.
Seeing this, Wan Chun Ju's legs went limp and she slumped on the ground: "I was wrong, Elder Sister Fang! I was wrong, I shouldn't call you wicked ones. Don't take me to the farm!"
Dai Shu Fang was speechless when she heard Wan Chun Ju's words.
In fact, she never took what Wan Chun Ju said to heart.
Although what Wan Chun Ju said was unpleasant, it was nothing when compared to those on the farm. She had endured more unpleasant sounds.
What's more, Qiao Family had been taking care of them all these years. Her son Huo Chi and Da Qiao were childhood-sweetheart-close friends. Looking upon the face of Qiao Family, she won't take out her anger on Wan Chun Ju.
She wanted to go up and help Wan Chun Ju get up. However, Wan Chun Ju thought she was going to beat her. Frightened, she screamed like slaughtered pigs.
The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wan pig-slaughterer deserves to be Wan pig-slaughterer. After so many years, she still like to make slaughtered pig shriek!"
"Ain't that right. If one day she stops calling, I may not be used to it!"
Seeing this, Dai Shu Fang didn't help her at all. Instead, she softly asked, "Is your mother-in-law at home?"
Seeing that she didn't beat herself, Wan Chun Ju became a little more courageous: "My parent-in-laws gone to the town. My daughter is going to take the college entrance examination these days. They went to the town to take care of her. It's estimated to take two days before they come back."
Only then, Dai Shu Fang remembered the college entrance examination matter. Nodding, she responded, "Okay, we'll come back in two days."
Her husband was going to take them back to the capital. Before going back, they had to meet Qiao Family once and say goodbye.
Huo Family left in the sedan car. Long after they left, the villagers were discussing endlessly.
...
Da Qiao and others in the town didn't know what happened to the production team.
After Elder Cousin Sister entered the examination room, she and her grandparents didn't immediately leave. Instead, they waited outside.
Qiao Dong He brought the stationery into the examination room. Her heart was drumming.
Her brain had never been very smart. Especially compared with Younger Sister Da Qiao. She had never got the first place in the exam.
Her personality wasn't likeable. She can't say nice things with her mouth. She also disliked to interact with strangers. She didn't know what she can do except studying.
So she had to go to college no matter what!
But the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. After she found a seat and sat down, she couldn't help trembling.
The teacher invigilating the exam hadn't come over yet. A young man sitting behind her saw her like this and poked her in the back with a pen.
Qiao Dong He was startled. She turned around and looked at the other party like a frightened animal: "Are you calling me?"
The male's name was Luo Jun Liang. His eyes fell on Qiao Dong He's face and he grinned: "Don't you remember me?"
Qiao Dong He stared at him and finally shook her head: "I don't remember."
A look of disappointment flashed across Luo Jun Liang's face: "We are from the same school, but I am in the second class. I bumped into you in the school cafeteria half a year ago and knocked down your lunch box. Do you really not remember?"
When Qiao Dong Hhe heard his words, she remembered: "So it's you!"
Luo Jun Liang grinned and responded, "That's right, it's me. My name is Luo Jun Liang. I'm so sorry about last time!"
Qiao Dong He waved her hand. Her face was a little red: "It's okay. You have apologized to me before and even compensated for the meal!"
Luo Jun Liang smiled and said, "I saw you shaking just now. Are you cold or are you too nervous?"
After being reminded by him, Qiao Dong He recalled her nervousness: "I'm very nervous. I'm afraid I won't pass the exam."
Luo Jun Liang spoke: "If you can't pass, try again next year. Since the country has resumed enrollment, it will definitely not be the only one."
Qiao Dong He pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't respond though.
She was afraid that if she failed the exam this time, her mom wouldn't let her take the exam again. Instead, she would force her to go on a blind date.
Although her grandmother can suppress her mom, it was very annoying to listen to her mom nagging at home every day.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Luo Jun Liang continued, "If you're still nervous in a while, just take a deep breath as you write 'people' in your hand three times in a row. You'll be relaxed soon."
Qiao Dong He's eyes widened: "Is this useful?"
"Of course it works. I won't lie to you!"
Luo Jun Liang jollily nodded. The sunlight came in from the window and shone on his young face. It made his smile look extremely bright.
Qiao Dong He didn't want to use this method in front of him. After thanking the other party in a low voice, she turned around.
At this moment, the invigilator came. The noisy exam room became quiet at once.
Seeing the serious face of the invigilator, Qiao Dong He's heartbeat began to speed up again. She thought about it and decided to use the method that Luo Jun Liang taught her just now; took a deep breath and wrote.
Don't know if it was because of her mentality, she really calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
She couldn't help but be grateful to him.
Before writing, she took a sip of the water that Young Sister Da Qiao prepared for her. Sugar was added. So it tasted sweet.
Younger Sister Da Qiao had this kind of ability. No matter how ordinary the ingredients were, once they were in her hands, it can become better than others. It was an ordinary bottle of sugar water. The ones she brew were sweeter than those made by others.
What was even more strange was that after drinking the water, the remaining tension in her heart disappeared.
She felt that her mind couldn't be any more sober. After the exam paper was handed out, she felt that it was very easy to do the questions.
She felt that this was the good luck brought to her by Younger Sister Da Qiao!
After the exam in the morning, Qiao Dong He came out of the exam room.
As soon as she came out, she found Younger Sister Da Qiao and her grandparents standing in the wind waiting for her. Her eyes teared up and she almost burst into tears.
When Da Qiao saw her elder cousin sister come out, she immediately flew over, took out the prepared buns from her arms, and handed them over, "Elder Cousin Sister, I just bought this bun. It's still hot. Hurry up and take a bite!"
Qiao Dong He was more and more moved. She reached out and rubbed her younger sister's hair with a smile: "Why didn't you go back? The wind is so strong. It's easy to catch a cold waiting outside like this!"
Da Qiao shook her head: "It's alright. We went to wait somewhere else in the middle. Just got here. Elder Cousin Sister, quickly eat!"
Qiao Dong He didn't hesitate, accepted the bun in Younger Sister Da Qiao's hand, and took a big bite.
The meaty taste entered her mouth. It was her favorite meat bun.
Younger Sister Da Qiao and grandparents were so nice to her. She was so blessed!
When Qiao Dong He munched the bun, Luo Jun Liang happened to pass by. Seeing her wolfish look, he immediately laughed out loud. Her white teeth were particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.
"Cough cough..."
Qiao Dong He didn't expect him to pass by and happen to witness her unruly appearance. She suddenly choked and coughed.
Luo Jun Liang saw that her family was there and didn't come. He merrily went to his family.
Seeing Elder Cousin Sister cough until tears come out, Da Qiao quickly patted her back: "Who is that person? How rude!"
Qiao Dong He's face instantly turned red. She muddled it through with a cough.
The exam took two days.
After the exam, Qiao Dong He felt that she did well in the exam. At least she could do all the questions. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
After the exam, they stayed in the town for a half a day. Xue Chuan personally cooked a delicious meal for his granddaughter. While they were at it, he invited Wei couple over to thank them for helping to take care of Eldest Granddaughter during this period.
Wei Family liked the two girls, Qiao Dong He and Da Qiao very much. They were gloomy for a while when they heard that they were going back in the afternoon.
Da Qiao rushed to comfort them; saying that they would come here often in the future.
Only then did the two elders perk up.
...
When they returned to the production team, villagers immediately told them about Huo Family.
The group was shocked when they found out.
Unexpectedly, Huo Family's son who had been dead for 12 years actually came back to life. And he even used his own connections to help Huo Family get vindication!
After the shock, they were happy for Huo Family.
Huo Family's status had improved in recent years. In the end, they were still wicked ones. They can only work in the production team. No freedom at all. Now that they were vindicated, they were free people.
This way, Huo Chi can come back from the army and their family can be reunited.
Da Qiao was delighted for Elder Brother Huo Chi.
Huo Family came to the production team the next morning and had brought a lot of big and small bags. When the people in the production team saw it, their eyes were red with envy.
Huo Family had lunch at Qiao's house before bidding farewell. They were going back to the capital and find a way to bring their son back.
After the college entrance examination, the New Year soon arrived. Time approached to 1978.
The atmosphere outside was getting relaxed and looser. Under this circumstance, Qiao Zhen Jun made an important decision. He wanted to change the surname of his youngest son to Xue.
Because Shen Family often drove a car to Qiao Family, a car wasn't something rare sight for the villagers of the Qili production team.
But when the two premium sedan cars entered the production team, it caught everyone's attention.
"My god, is that also a car? Why is it so big?"
"Ain't that right? It's much more expensive than Qiao Family's god-relatives'. What's more, it's so new and stylish looking. One can tell it's very expensive at first glance!"
"It's one thing whether it's expensive or not. The question is why did this car come to our production team? Could it be they're Qiao Family's god-relatives too?"
"But didn't Auntie Xiu Zhi couple go to town to send their granddaughter off to the college entrance examination? If god-relatives comes, they wouldn't have left."
Everyone had their own guesses. Their eyes were stuck to the two cars like glue.
When Wang Shui Sheng saw the car, he didn't plan to go there immediately despite his slight curious. Still, his eyes kept following the cars.
The two cars stopped when they arrived at the production team's office. Seeing this, Wang Shui Sheng knew that he couldn't leave it.
He left some instruction with everyone and was about to go over when he saw the director of the community rushing over on a broken bicycle. His face was so red that he didn't know whether it was due to anxiety or exercise.

Mayor?
Hearing these two words, let alone the villagers, even Wang Shui Sheng was stunned: "Why did the mayor suddenly come here? Did something happen?"
The director of the community had been chasing the car all the way and was already exhausted. He waved his hand and ushered, "Don't ask any more. You will know when quickly you go over."
Wang Shui Sheng hurriedly rolled down his trousers and ran towards the office while sorting his clothes and hair.

The community director rushed over on a bicycle. Behind him was Wang Shui Sheng, who was running on his legs. Even like this, the mayor felt they were slow and kept rushing them.
Wang Shui Sheng was running out of breath. He came over and asked, "Mayor, Zhen, is there anything I can help you with?"
The mayor waved his hand and said, "I don't need your help here. But this Mr. Huo has something to ask you!"
Mr. Huo?
When Wang Shui Sheng heard the surname, he immediately thought of the pair of wicked ones in the pigsty.
He turned his head to look at the other party. Immediately, he was stunned. He wondered if it was an illusion. He kept having a feeling that Mr. Huo was a little familiar.
Huo Zheng Chen turned around and politely gave a slight bow to Wang Shui Sheng, "Hello, my name is Huo Zheng Chen. I heard my father, Huo Hua Qing, wife and children were transferred from the farm to your production team five years ago. Might you know where they are now? Are they… okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Shui Sheng froze again. He was wondering how he felt a little familiar just now. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be father and son!
It was just who was this person who can actually make the mayor personally accompany him. If he finds out that his son was gone later, would he take his anger on him?
Wang Shui Sheng's heart instantly felt a like drum: "They are... over at the pigsty."
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he said this. They couldn't be blamed though. Huo Family was bad people. They definitely couldn't live in a good place.
In fact, compared with other wicked ones, Huo Family was doing well. Especially in the past two years. Except for not being able to freely move, they were almost the same as other villagers.
Hearing the pigsty, Huo Zheng Chen's face showed a slight response. But he didn't blame Wang Shui Sheng: "Can I trouble you to show me the way?"
Wang Shui Sheng's head kept bobbing. Then he waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble. I'll take you there."
With that said, he quickly led the group towards the pigsty.
At this time, he was very fortunate that he brought someone to repair the pigsty two years ago.
When they arrived at the pigsty, the mayor smelled the stench. Taking in the surrounding environment, his heart started thumping.
He never thought Mr. Huo's father was a wicked one. Since his father was a wicked one, why didn't he join with him back then?
Everyone had countless questions in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
Huo Zheng Chen's leather shoes stepped on the muddy ground and walked in step by step. Excitment and sullenness pumped in his heart.

Seeing this, Wan Chun Ju's legs went limp and she slumped on the ground: "I was wrong, Elder Sister Fang! I was wrong, I shouldn't call you wicked ones. Don't take me to the farm!"
Dai Shu Fang was speechless when she heard Wan Chun Ju's words.
In fact, she never took what Wan Chun Ju said to heart.
Although what Wan Chun Ju said was unpleasant, it was nothing when compared to those on the farm. She had endured more unpleasant sounds.
What's more, Qiao Family had been taking care of them all these years. Her son Huo Chi and Da Qiao were childhood-sweetheart-close friends. Looking upon the face of Qiao Family, she won't take out her anger on Wan Chun Ju.
She wanted to go up and help Wan Chun Ju get up. However, Wan Chun Ju thought she was going to beat her. Frightened, she screamed like slaughtered pigs.
The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wan pig-slaughterer deserves to be Wan pig-slaughterer. After so many years, she still like to make slaughtered pig shriek!"
"Ain't that right. If one day she stops calling, I may not be used to it!"
Seeing this, Dai Shu Fang didn't help her at all. Instead, she softly asked, "Is your mother-in-law at home?"
Seeing that she didn't beat herself, Wan Chun Ju became a little more courageous: "My parent-in-laws gone to the town. My daughter is going to take the college entrance examination these days. They went to the town to take care of her. It's estimated to take two days before they come back."
Only then, Dai Shu Fang remembered the college entrance examination matter. Nodding, she responded, "Okay, we'll come back in two days."
Her husband was going to take them back to the capital. Before going back, they had to meet Qiao Family once and say goodbye.
Huo Family left in the sedan car. Long after they left, the villagers were discussing endlessly.
...
Da Qiao and others in the town didn't know what happened to the production team.
After Elder Cousin Sister entered the examination room, she and her grandparents didn't immediately leave. Instead, they waited outside.
Qiao Dong He brought the stationery into the examination room. Her heart was drumming.
Her brain had never been very smart. Especially compared with Younger Sister Da Qiao. She had never got the first place in the exam.
Her personality wasn't likeable. She can't say nice things with her mouth. She also disliked to interact with strangers. She didn't know what she can do except studying.
So she had to go to college no matter what!
But the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. After she found a seat and sat down, she couldn't help trembling.
The teacher invigilating the exam hadn't come over yet. A young man sitting behind her saw her like this and poked her in the back with a pen.
Qiao Dong He was startled. She turned around and looked at the other party like a frightened animal: "Are you calling me?"
The male's name was Luo Jun Liang. His eyes fell on Qiao Dong He's face and he grinned: "Don't you remember me?"
Qiao Dong He stared at him and finally shook her head: "I don't remember."
A look of disappointment flashed across Luo Jun Liang's face: "We are from the same school, but I am in the second class. I bumped into you in the school cafeteria half a year ago and knocked down your lunch box. Do you really not remember?"
When Qiao Dong Hhe heard his words, she remembered: "So it's you!"
Luo Jun Liang grinned and responded, "That's right, it's me. My name is Luo Jun Liang. I'm so sorry about last time!"
Qiao Dong He waved her hand. Her face was a little red: "It's okay. You have apologized to me before and even compensated for the meal!"
Luo Jun Liang smiled and said, "I saw you shaking just now. Are you cold or are you too nervous?"
After being reminded by him, Qiao Dong He recalled her nervousness: "I'm very nervous. I'm afraid I won't pass the exam."
Luo Jun Liang spoke: "If you can't pass, try again next year. Since the country has resumed enrollment, it will definitely not be the only one."
Qiao Dong He pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't respond though.
She was afraid that if she failed the exam this time, her mom wouldn't let her take the exam again. Instead, she would force her to go on a blind date.
Although her grandmother can suppress her mom, it was very annoying to listen to her mom nagging at home every day.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Luo Jun Liang continued, "If you're still nervous in a while, just take a deep breath as you write 'people' in your hand three times in a row. You'll be relaxed soon."
Qiao Dong He's eyes widened: "Is this useful?"
"Of course it works. I won't lie to you!"
Luo Jun Liang jollily nodded. The sunlight came in from the window and shone on his young face. It made his smile look extremely bright.
Qiao Dong He didn't want to use this method in front of him. After thanking the other party in a low voice, she turned around.
At this moment, the invigilator came. The noisy exam room became quiet at once.
Seeing the serious face of the invigilator, Qiao Dong He's heartbeat began to speed up again. She thought about it and decided to use the method that Luo Jun Liang taught her just now; took a deep breath and wrote.
Don't know if it was because of her mentality, she really calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
She couldn't help but be grateful to him.
Before writing, she took a sip of the water that Young Sister Da Qiao prepared for her. Sugar was added. So it tasted sweet.
Younger Sister Da Qiao had this kind of ability. No matter how ordinary the ingredients were, once they were in her hands, it can become better than others. It was an ordinary bottle of sugar water. The ones she brew were sweeter than those made by others.
What was even more strange was that after drinking the water, the remaining tension in her heart disappeared.
She felt that her mind couldn't be any more sober. After the exam paper was handed out, she felt that it was very easy to do the questions.
She felt that this was the good luck brought to her by Younger Sister Da Qiao!
After the exam in the morning, Qiao Dong He came out of the exam room.
As soon as she came out, she found Younger Sister Da Qiao and her grandparents standing in the wind waiting for her. Her eyes teared up and she almost burst into tears.
When Da Qiao saw her elder cousin sister come out, she immediately flew over, took out the prepared buns from her arms, and handed them over, "Elder Cousin Sister, I just bought this bun. It's still hot. Hurry up and take a bite!"
Qiao Dong He was more and more moved. She reached out and rubbed her younger sister's hair with a smile: "Why didn't you go back? The wind is so strong. It's easy to catch a cold waiting outside like this!"
Da Qiao shook her head: "It's alright. We went to wait somewhere else in the middle. Just got here. Elder Cousin Sister, quickly eat!"
Qiao Dong He didn't hesitate, accepted the bun in Younger Sister Da Qiao's hand, and took a big bite.
The meaty taste entered her mouth. It was her favorite meat bun.
Younger Sister Da Qiao and grandparents were so nice to her. She was so blessed!
When Qiao Dong He munched the bun, Luo Jun Liang happened to pass by. Seeing her wolfish look, he immediately laughed out loud. Her white teeth were particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.
"Cough cough..."
Qiao Dong He didn't expect him to pass by and happen to witness her unruly appearance. She suddenly choked and coughed.
Luo Jun Liang saw that her family was there and didn't come. He merrily went to his family.
Seeing Elder Cousin Sister cough until tears come out, Da Qiao quickly patted her back: "Who is that person? How rude!"
Qiao Dong He's face instantly turned red. She muddled it through with a cough.
The exam took two days.
After the exam, Qiao Dong He felt that she did well in the exam. At least she could do all the questions. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
After the exam, they stayed in the town for a half a day. Xue Chuan personally cooked a delicious meal for his granddaughter. While they were at it, he invited Wei couple over to thank them for helping to take care of Eldest Granddaughter during this period.
Wei Family liked the two girls, Qiao Dong He and Da Qiao very much. They were gloomy for a while when they heard that they were going back in the afternoon.
Da Qiao rushed to comfort them; saying that they would come here often in the future.
Only then did the two elders perk up.
...
When they returned to the production team, villagers immediately told them about Huo Family.
The group was shocked when they found out.
Unexpectedly, Huo Family's son who had been dead for 12 years actually came back to life. And he even used his own connections to help Huo Family get vindication!
After the shock, they were happy for Huo Family.
Huo Family's status had improved in recent years. In the end, they were still wicked ones. They can only work in the production team. No freedom at all. Now that they were vindicated, they were free people.
This way, Huo Chi can come back from the army and their family can be reunited.
Da Qiao was delighted for Elder Brother Huo Chi.
Huo Family came to the production team the next morning and had brought a lot of big and small bags. When the people in the production team saw it, their eyes were red with envy.
Huo Family had lunch at Qiao's house before bidding farewell. They were going back to the capital and find a way to bring their son back.
After the college entrance examination, the New Year soon arrived. Time approached to 1978.
The atmosphere outside was getting relaxed and looser. Under this circumstance, Qiao Zhen Jun made an important decision. He wanted to change the surname of his youngest son to Xue.
Awww, how sweet Zhen Jun is, I wonder if his parents will agree. Thank you for the chapter!
