Chapter 118: Gu Xiaoxia is going to take an exam

~9 min read 1,790 words

The next day, Li Long got up early to check the rabbit snares at the Red Willow Beach. He folded a urea bag and put it away, carried the small-caliber rifle on his back, thinking of trying his luck to see if he could hit anything else.

Getting up too early, there were few people outside, the cold air exhaled wasn't as heavy as before, Li Long strode toward the Red Willow Beach.

Everything was quiet all around, only hearing one or two bird calls when almost reaching the Red Willow Beach.

Li Long followed the route of setting snares yesterday and began to search, observing all around while searching, unfortunately, there was no movement in his field of vision.

After checking nearly twenty rabbit snares, there were only two frozen rabbits in total, this harvest made him a bit disappointed.

But thinking that the temperature was rising now and the snow was about to melt, rabbits had more places to find food, it was normal for rabbits to be fewer.

Li Long simply collected all the rabbit snares, put the two rabbits into the urea bag, carried the bag, carried the gun, and walked back.

Walking halfway, he heard Xu Chengjun's voice coming from the team's loudspeaker:

"Notice, notice! Those participating in the teacher exam, gather at the County Education Bureau at ten o'clock tomorrow morning for the exam!

Notice, notice! Those participating in the teacher exam, gather at the County Education Bureau at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late, the opportunity is not easy, all get up early, be prepared!

Notice, notice..."

After notifying three times, the loudspeaker stopped. By the time Li Long walked back to the team, the loudspeaker sounded again, Xu Chengjun notified three more times, just this one thing, he notified several times that day.

Li Long felt Xu Chengjun was quite good on this point, this was a moment to change destiny, if someone didn't hear the notice, that would really be a lifetime matter.

When he returned home, the meal was already cooked, Li Juan and Li Qiang were playing in the yard, seeing Li Long return, they scrambled to take the urea bag.

"Two rabbits." Li Juan said pleasantly, "Look, this rabbit is really big!"

"Little Uncle, why are they all gray rabbits?" Li Qiang was a bit puzzled, "The stories my sister tells me, and the children's songs, aren't they all white rabbits?"

"White rabbits are easily caught in green grass in summer." Li Long patted his head and said, "Think about it, if there's a white thing moving in the green grass, wouldn't eagles and foxes see it at a glance."

"No wonder!" Li Qiang suddenly realized, "Little Uncle, are you still going to take rabbits tomorrow?"

"Not going." Li Long shook his head, "There are too few rabbits, today I'm going to dig for fish, tomorrow I plan to go sell fish."

After breakfast, Li Long went to see Tao Daqiang. Tao Daqiang had also just finished eating, what surprised Li Long was that Tao Jian She was already able to get up, although he still coughed once or twice from time to time, he looked much better.

"Uncle, how are you now? Did you take medicine?" Tao Jian She asked Li Long standing at the head of the kang.

"I took it, Daqiang insisted on having Old Tian give me an injection, why waste that money? Just take some Aspirin." Tao Jian She said with a smile, "Look, I'm much better."

"Injections were given anyway." Tao Jian She said somewhat helplessly, "Wasting money—taking medicine can also get better, although not as fast, but it saves money."

Alright, poor people are not qualified to mention money.

"Then is Old Tian coming over to give injections?" Li Long asked Tao Daqiang again.

"He said he'd be over in a while." Tao Daqiang said.

"Uncle, if you don't feel uncomfortable, I'll take Daqiang to the sea to dig for fish again, planning to go to the street to sell them tomorrow morning."

"Fine." Tao Jian She agreed impatiently, "You go your way, I'm not sick, I'm all good, just coughing a few times, it's not a big deal!"

Li Long nodded, signaled to Tao Daqiang, and then left the Tao family.

Thinking about it, he went to the Gu family again.

"Is Xiaoxia there?"

Gu Xiaoxia was still reading in the room, she became nervous when she heard the notice today, the critical moment was coming, she was worried she wouldn't do well on the exam.

Hearing Li Long's shout outside, Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly responded, put down the book, and walked out quickly.

"Without Xiao Long, you're here." Gu Xiaoxia's face turned slightly red, and she let Li Long in.

"Where's your dad?" Li Long walked into the room, didn't see Gu Bo Yuan, and asked.

"Went to the team leader's house to ask about the situation." Gu Xiaoxia said. "Then how do you plan to go tomorrow?"

"Walk there." Gu Xiaoxia said as a matter of course, "Several people in the team are going to take the exam, maybe walk together." She thought for a while and said:

"Shufen is also taking the exam, she said she signed up for the primary school one, don't know if she can pass."

"Is she also going to the County Education Bureau to take the exam?" Li Long was a bit surprised.

"No, she's going to the township to take the exam." Gu Xiaoxia shook her head: "She said she didn't have time to review, so she could only take the primary school one."

Li Long remembered that Wu Shufen seemed to have taken the exam in his previous life, but she didn't pass the teacher exam for the central primary school. At that time, because there were many children, the county's policy was for the first and second grades to be taught in the production team, and Wu Shufen became a teacher in the team.

Her personality carried that kind of vanity and complaining, feeling that being in the team was not as good as being in the central school of the brigade, the salary was not high, and there was no establishment, so she didn't teach well. Finally, after the first and second grades were taken back to the central school, she became unemployed.

Don't know if there will be any changes in this life.

"I plan to go to the county to sell fish with Tao Daqiang tomorrow morning, planning to rent the team's horse cart, do you want to take the cart?"

Gu Xiaoxia hesitated.

!.

"It's okay, think about it, if you want to take it, tell me before tonight." Li Long knew it wasn't suitable to stay in the room for too long, so he prepared to leave.

Going out to the yard, Li Long saw Gu Bo Yuan returning from outside, so he greeted him:

"Uncle Gu, you're back."

"Ah, I went to the team leader's place to ask about some things. Without Xiao Long, why not sit for a while longer?" Gu Bo Yuan said with a smile, "This exam matter, it's all thanks to you."

"That's nothing." Li Long shook his head, "I won't stay, I plan to go to the small sea to dig for some fish, and then rent the team's horse cart to go to the county to sell fish tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he left.

"Without Xiao Long is going to sell fish? Tomorrow morning?" Entering the room, Gu Bo Yuan asked his daughter while taking off his coat.

Gu Xiaoxia said somewhat absent-mindedly:

"Yes, he came over and said this, asked if I wanted to go with them."

"Then what do you think?" Gu Bo Yuan asked again.

"I don't know. Shufen is also taking the exam tomorrow..."

"Isn't she taking the exam in the township? The time is different from yours, it doesn't matter if she goes late, right?"

Gu Xiaoxia understood her father's meaning.

"If you take the horse cart, you can rest well on the road, and your spirit will be good when you take the exam. If you walk, ten kilometers, not to mention being tired, by then you'll be covered in sweat, and then getting a chill in the classroom, it's hard to say if you can do well."

Gu Xiaoxia thought it was true.

Wu Shufen was flipping through the books that had been scribbled on at home at this time. Those books could barely see the printed handwriting, but the things drawn on them really affected the mood of studying.

But she really didn't want to stay in the team anymore. Spring was coming soon, they had to dig canals, cut grass, and open ditches to work.

She wanted to be a teacher, wanted to stay in the office, that was the life she wanted!

The first day on the shelf, let me report the results to everyone. Twenty chapters issued, over 42,000 words, the first subscription that can be seen now is two thousand. It's more than half less than expected, which is a serious blow to me. Because the follow-up reading data before being on the shelf was 5,800, according to the general algorithm, the paid real follow-up reading should be between 3,400 and 3,600, such a first subscription is normal data, but now there are only two thousand, not reaching three thousand, very disappointed.

Then I saw many book friends commenting that they didn't know it was on the shelf today. I posted the on-shelf sentiment last night, maybe it was posted to the work-related, so the homepage didn't display it, leading to some people not knowing, this might be a reason.

Entering the Sanjiang recommendation tomorrow, it might pull some data, starting from tomorrow, I will continue to maintain the update of 10,000 words per day, and I will say in advance if there are any changes in the update later. And the subsequent updates will all be completed at zero o'clock, so when everyone watches, they can concentrate on the time.

Because there are still some manuscripts, the 2,000-word chapters will last for a few days, and then it will be 4,000-word chapters, large chapters are good to watch, and pull up the average subscription.

In addition, I would like to thank the book friends I am a Ghost, 20210301106461537408, Red Packet Grabber Every Day, Blue Fatty q and reader 1496354709741527040 for their rewards, thank you for everyone's monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and subscription support, one more sentence, the next is a 10,000-word update in five chapters, I will try to code words according to the rhythm, if everyone likes it, please watch the genuine version, thank you.
