Chapter 2839: Chapter 2839: Four Years Later (Part 3)
In September, Yang Rufeng went down to take the county exam, and, as expected, he was the champion. Everyone was happy, but Xiaofeng wasn’t happy at all; he went alone to the big tree at the entrance to poke at an ant nest.
"Brother Xiaofeng, what’s wrong?" Xiaobao leaned over to look at Yang Rufeng.
"Sigh!" Yang Rufeng sighed, "I’m still not good enough."
"You’re already the champion, how can that not be good enough?" Zhou Ying widened her big, glistening eyes, "Wouldn’t that make everyone else garbage?"
"I’m not comparing myself to others." Xiaofeng sighed again, "I’m comparing myself with my brother-in-law, I’m still too far behind."
"What’s up with your brother-in-law?"
"My brother-in-law became the champion of the county exam at the age of nine, but I’m already ten years old this year." Xiaofeng sighed again.
Zhou Ying blinked her big eyes, then suddenly chuckled: "You’re so melodramatic."
"How am I being melodramatic?" Xiaofeng frowned.
"Your brother-in-law is a genius, and you’re not a genius. You’re already doing quite well." Xiaobao pouted, "It’s like me comparing my medical skills with Big Sister, wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?"
Xiaofeng scratched his head: "The way you said it, it seems to make sense."
"Of course it makes sense, let’s go, let’s catch some fish." Xiaobao said confidently, grabbing Xiaofeng’s hand, "Big Brother and Third Sister have already gone, and Sandou went too." Yesterday, there was a heavy rain, the water level of the Xiaocang River rose sharply, and there were a lot of fish in the river now. The whole village has mobilized to catch fish today.
And so, Little Qingmei dragged her little childhood sweetheart and ran off.
Yang Ruxin poked Gu Qingheng: "You really hit Xiaofeng hard."
"It’s not just him, I’ve hit a lot of people." Gu Qingheng proudly raised his head.
"Virtue." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Why don’t you take the champion exam and I’ll take a look?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, anyway, you’re idle."
"Okay." Gu Qingheng nodded, "As long as my wife wants it, I’ll do it."
Yang Ruxin happily patted the man’s shoulder, but suddenly found something was not quite right, and couldn’t help but frown: "What do you mean? What’s ’if I want it, you’ll do it’?"
"It means whenever you want it, I’ll give it to you." Gu Qingheng leaned close to Yang Ruxin and stole a kiss.
"Rogue." Yang Ruxin’s face uncontrollably turned red, and she turned and ran.
Gu Qingheng touched his nose, the child is already three years old, why is his wife still so shy? He hurriedly chased after her and held her hand.
Yang Ruxin turned her head to look at the man with smiling eyes, and her mouth curled up too.
Both of them felt how wonderful it was to walk like this forever!
Time flew by, and four years passed almost in the blink of an eye.
Dapu East Village has completely transformed; everyone is either working in the furniture workshop or herbal wine workshop to earn money, or growing medicinal herbs and fruit trees to supply Yang Ruxin, with substantial monthly income. Having money naturally leads to improving housing.
So, the previous low thatched huts were gone, replaced by those two-story small Western-style buildings, all modeled after the Yang Family’s small building, neatly aligned in rows. And all the roads in the village were paved with bluestone slabs, with various fruit trees planted along the sides of the roads.
In spring, apricot flowers, peach blossoms, and pear blossoms spread across the mountains and fields, really like a fairyland. In autumn, when the fruits ripened, it attracted kids to come and pick the fruits to satisfy their cravings.
