Chapter 326

After handing in his exam paper in the afternoon, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan went to Elder Zhai's project team, which was based in the old library.

After the new library was built, a small part of the old library was repurposed, while the majority was left vacant.

When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan arrived, several trucks were parked outside, and a group of senior students were moving cargo.

Large boxes were being moved in one by one; this wasn't even the most tiring part, as the subsequent task of sorting and arranging them was the most laborious.

This also meant that the project team was still in the preparation stage and could not yet begin work normally; of course, this also depended on the efficiency of these senior students.

A thin, tall girl wearing thick glasses, who had been pouring water for other students, noticed Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and came over to ask who his parents were, having mistaken the boy for the child of a faculty member.

Before Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan could finish stating his name and department, the girl smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, junior!"

Elder Zhai must have given special instructions, as Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was taken inside by this senior student named Sun Mei to handle the paperwork.

The procedure was very simple, similar to a registration, and he was given an ID card and a keychain with five keys on it.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan said he could stay and help with the moving, but was refused by Sun Mei, on the grounds that these items were too large and too heavy.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not insist.

As he was leaving, a senior student happened to lose his grip, and the box in his arms fell to the ground, causing some charts and data to slide out.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan bent down to help pick them up, and happened to pick up an engineering report; the construction site was in Yuxi, and after a quick glance at the small print on the cover, he saw Mount Mount Ailao.

After picking everything up, he stood up and left; after walking a distance away, the boy stopped and looked back at the old library.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had a premonition that this place might become another "Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang" in the future.

He could find clues about the ripples from here.

Elder Zhai's status was special; although the Great Emperor's shadow had already left him, no one could determine if the Great Emperor had truly lost all influence over Elder Zhai.

Did that also mean the Great Emperor could use this place to exert targeted influence on him?

The ripple to Fengdou, although arranged by the Bodhisattva, with the Great Emperor merely borrowing force to strike, did not mean the Great Emperor lacked the ability to interfere with the river.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't have much aversion to this; if the Great Emperor was no longer satisfied with sitting at home and sharing in the merit, but wanted to go hunting, that was understandable.

The boy had been playing a battle of wits with the Heavenly Dao for so long that he didn't mind introducing another player; only by muddying the waters could he, the "temporarily weaker party," fish in troubled waters and fight for benefits.

Under the premise of aligned short-term interests, there was nothing wrong with short-term cooperation between the two sides.

When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan returned to the dormitory, he noticed that every room on the floor was filled with resentment.

The bustling scenes of the past were gone, and many students were seriously reading books and doing problems.

Originally, university final exams were not scheduled so tightly; having one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon was already considered too compact, and it was usually normal to have a day or even several days between exams; the current schedule of two exams in the morning and two in the afternoon was truly rare.

The university students who had already been in college for a full year were long past their prime, no longer the young and vigorous youths from their senior year of high school.

Moreover, the key points that had been highlighted were all invalidated, and the papers were all newly issued, which made cramming at the last minute a futile effort.

It could only be said that Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang had been ruthless in order to select people; he had also come from among the students, so he naturally understood better how those of the same root could torment each other.

In the dormitory, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was lying on his bed, holding a brick phone and talking to Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was sitting behind his desk, seriously preparing for the subjects to be tested tomorrow.

The learning efficiency during the river journey was indeed very high; in the gaps between life-and-death crises, studying had instead become a kind of enjoyment that brought inner peace.

It could be seen from their different performances now that Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was reviewing better and handling the exams with more ease; Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was actually quite good too, but he was still a bit unstable if he wanted to compete for rankings and scholarships.

"Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan is back, I'll hang up first." After hanging up, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin sat up, "Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, Brother Liang called and said he wants to have a meal with us tonight at Old Sichuan."

"What time?"

"He should already be there."

"Then let's go."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You buried his head low.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Ayou, stay in the dorm and keep studying."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Okay."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin walked out of the school gate and went to Old Sichuan.

Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang was indeed waiting in a small private room, and seeing them arrive, he called the owner to serve the dishes.

It was just a simple gathering to chat about family matters and work.

It was evident that Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang was much more haggard; perhaps for him, the last time he accompanied Luo Gong to Fengdou was actually a form of rest.

After the rest ended, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang, whose seniority had been raised again, was assigned more work.

If Luo Gong had been thinking about paving the way for his growth early on, now Luo Gong was letting Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang help him relieve pressure, which could be considered truly standing on his own.

In the end, this small gathering concluded with the clinking of three cups of soy milk.

Before Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang drove away, he left behind a package containing a long letter, as well as silk scarves, jewelry, and some local specialties sent to him by his parents in Anhui.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin patted Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang on the shoulder, and Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang also punched Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin in the chest twice; everything was understood without words.

On the way back, just as they reached the school gate, they saw Lu Yi helping a male student out from inside.

The television on the shop counter would play various videotapes, and sometimes students buying things would gather there to watch together.

Today, a martial arts film was playing, and this male student was so engrossed that he struck the counter with an Iron Sand Palm.

He didn't actually use much force, but his luck was terrible, and he hit the exact spot of concentrated force; the counter glass shattered, scratching his arm and causing blood to flow freely.

The boy was startled and kept saying he would pay for the damages.

Lu Yi was even more startled; there was no need for him to pay, so he hurriedly took him to the school infirmary.

"I'll accompany him."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took over, grabbing the boy's shoulder with one hand and supporting his arm with the other, applying slight pressure, which immediately slowed the bleeding from the boy's wound.

In the office next to the infirmary duty room, Fan Shulin opened the bottom drawer, moved the newspapers aside, and took out a magazine with an explicit cover.

The edges of the magazine pages were already frayed, clearly having been studied and flipped through many times.

It was just that this kind of thing was hard to find; Fan Shulin had risked going to the overpass several times to buy a few sets of magazines, but the vendor was too unscrupulous—only the covers looked decent, and the content inside was either full of printing errors or simply not novel at all.

He only regretted that when buying, he felt like a thief, and Fan Shulin didn't dare to stay in one place to flip through and pick; after being cheated several times, Fan Shulin gave up.

Sigh, the set Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin gave him back then was the most thoughtful.

Although the content was already memorized by heart, sometimes he just needed this to light a fire and get things going, and then he could rely on his own imagination.

The long night was slow, and the single doctor on duty could only rely on this to satisfy his cravings.

"If only he could give me a few more sets..."

Fan Shulin had just finished sighing when he immediately shook his head.

At the thought of that "terrible" patient sent to him, Fan Shulin felt that his life was better off with less of this unconventional stimulation.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The office door was knocked.

Fan Shulin made a "whoosh" sound, quickly put the magazine back into the drawer, pushed the drawer shut with his toe—a smooth and practiced movement.

Immediately after, that nightmarish voice sounded:

"Divine Doctor Fan? Divine Doctor Fan?"

Looking at this Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, Fan Shulin showed helplessness, but deep down, for some reason, after not seeing him for a long time, a sense of longing welled up.

He entered the operating room next door to treat the wound.

Compared to the patients sent by this person before, the one in front of him was injured too normally, which made Fan Shulin feel a bit disappointed.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Divine Doctor Fan has been promoted? You even have your own office now."

Fan Shulin: "Yeah, my benefits were raised."

At the beginning of the year, an accident occurred at a nearby construction site, and many workers were injured and sent here for treatment. This nominal school infirmary and small community hospital had relatively low medical resources and levels. Facing this special situation, everyone was in chaos, but Fan Shulin stepped forward and performed excellently, thus earning his promotion.

After treating the wound, he had to stay for a while to observe.

Fan Shulin invited Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin into his office for tea.

Fan Shulin started the conversation first, recounting his recent string of failed blind dates, and as someone with experience, advised Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin to cherish his university time and try to find a suitable partner while in college.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin agreed deeply, affirmed Fan Shulin's pertinent advice, and said he already had a partner, and had long since met both sets of parents; when he returned to his hometown, he would go to her house to eat and drink, and she would often go to his house and even travel with his mother.

After hearing this, Fan Shulin only felt as if an effervescent tablet had been added to the tea he had just poured into his stomach, and sour gas bubbled up in his nasal cavity.

He took the initiative to stand up, checked the patient again, and after confirming there were no problems, he issued an eviction order to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took the boy back to school, and Fan Shulin stood on the balcony, watching their departing backs, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

The exams the next day were still packed full.

On the third day, they wrapped things up.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin fulfilled his promise and treated the whole class to a meal at Old Sichuan.

No class funds were needed, and there was no need to split the bill; everyone could order food and drinks as they pleased within a reasonable range.

Children who had just reached adulthood preferred to prove themselves in adult ways, and basically, everyone ended up drunk.

It was clearly a final exam banquet, yet it played out like a senior year farewell.

Many people agreed to come back early during the summer vacation so the brothers could reunite, because the make-up exams for failed subjects were basically all before the official start of the semester.

Early the next morning, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and the others prepared to take the large truck home.

Lu Yi woke up very early and put drinks and food on the truck for them to eat and drink on the way, with an extra large bag of red sausage.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan glanced at him.

Lu Yi took the initiative to say: "Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, my mom called yesterday and said that table of offerings was eaten clean, not a bit left; the bowls and plates were cleaner than if a dog had licked them... cleaner than if they had been washed."

"The black and red water isn't bubbling out anymore either, and construction can start again soon."

"My mom said she wants to thank the classmate who gave me the idea and wants to invite you all to come play at my house when you have time."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "When I have time."

"Alright!" Lu Yi took a few steps back and waved at them, "Be careful on the road, have a safe trip."

"Come, come, come, this is for you, this is for you, and this is for Sister Liu."

Liu Liu Jinxia ended her trip to Jiujiang and brought back many local specialty gifts for her old sisters.

For Wang Niu Lian, it was mostly bags of food; for Grandma Sun Hua, it was souvenirs; for Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei, it was the most expensive item, a local tea.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei flicked the teapot with her fingertip, signaling Auntie Liu to pour out what had just been brewed inside and replace it with the tea Liu Liu Jinxia had brought back.

Li Li Li Cuicui also brought a gift for A Li and was currently showing it to her piece by piece.

A Li stopped her work, sat there, and watched.

After Li Li Li Cuicui finished showing her, A Li lowered her head and continued her handiwork.

"Hehe."

Li Li Li Cuicui knew Sister A Li's temperament; that she could specifically set aside time to watch her display was already quite remarkable.

Going out to wash her hands, Li Li Li Cuicui prepared to continue learning to paint with Sister A Li; she wanted to rely on herself to paint the Lushan Waterfall.

Old Man Uncle Tian personally pushed the flatbed cart and transported the refrigerator to Li Sanjiang's house.

These things were originally intended for Liu Liu Jinxia, but Liu Liu Jinxia didn't want them.

Old Man Uncle Tian lived at Grandpa Grandpa Hu Zi's house, so the color TV was left behind; it could be used for Benben to watch.

This refrigerator was truly unnecessary, mainly because there was a little Huang Ying in the family, and the kitchen was always chilly—a natural cold storage.

As for the sofa that had been transported over earliest, it was also given to Li Sanjiang by Old Man Uncle Tian.

At this moment, the whole row was placed in the first-floor living room, with a pile of paper figures sitting on it.

Grandma Sun Hua reached out and poked Liu Liu Jinxia, and Wang Niu Lian also glanced over, laughing secretly.

Liu Liu Jinxia glared at them crossly and continued playing cards.

After Old Man Uncle Tian put the things away and left, Grandma Sun Hua teased, "Oh my, you've become a big shot, not even paying any attention to people."

Wang Niu Lian: "I'm afraid her heart is hurt, not even coming over to say hello."

If it were anyone else in the village involved in a scandal, regardless of whether it was mutual affection or unrequited love, it would be very normal to crowd around.

But that person was also playing cards at the table.

Even if Old Man Uncle Tian were given ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to brazenly crowd forward at this moment.

Liu Liu Jinxia: "What is this and what is that? I've seen through it; at our age, we should be doing subtraction. With fewer entanglements, when we are old and close our eyes in the coffin, we can have fewer worries and be more at ease.

Isn't that the logic, Sister Liu?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei sipped her tea and swallowed it with some difficulty.

She glanced at Liu Liu Jinxia and said:

"Those who know you went to Jiujiang for tourism know, but those who don't would think you went to some nunnery to become a monk."

Liu Liu Jinxia's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face turned red, and the other two burst into laughter.

After Old Man Uncle Tian returned home, he first went to the medicine garden to pick herbs, then proceeded to pound them.

For this kind of medicine, if Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng or Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You were to eat it, one would worry the medicinal effect wouldn't be enough, but for ordinary people, one must deliberately let more medicinal properties evaporate and go to waste, otherwise, it would be easy to over-supplement.

Although he didn't look closely, when he looked from afar, he discovered Liu Liu Jinxia's spirit was somewhat weak; it should be due to intense emotional fluctuations recently, so she should be supplemented and conditioned.

After the pills were made, he put them in a bag, and Old Man Uncle Tian walked to Liu Liu Jinxia's house.

Although it hadn't been many days since she left home, once she returned, there were truly many things that needed washing and tidying up; Li Li Juxiang was busy all by herself.

Just as Li Li Li Cuicui said, her mother had no friends.

There used to be a Lan Hou, but ever since Lan Hou got into university, she had never returned to Nantong.

Therefore, regarding the travel, Li Li Juxiang had no one to share it with.

Two men stood on the village road, sizing up Li Li Juxiang, who was working on the dam.

One was called Wang Sanchang, whom the villagers called Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou; he was famous in the village for being an idler.

But he had good fortune; he had three daughters, and in his early years, he hadn't raised them seriously, relying entirely on the children's mother to pull them up. After the three daughters married, he had three sons-in-law, and with the children's mother managing things, plus the filial piety shared by the three sons-in-law, it was enough for him to live a decent life and still have some spare money to gamble.

The man beside Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou was only in his early thirties, with a large gold chain hanging around his neck, looking very imposing; he was called Cao Yang, and his family did business in aquatic products, earning quite a lot.

Recently, there was a crackdown, and the chess and card rooms and old gambling dens in the town had all been swept; if one wanted to play cards, one could only come to the village where it was safer, so Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou organized the game, and he came to touch the cards.

Arriving here, he originally intended to relieve himself by the ridge, but as a result, he caught sight of Li Li Juxiang, who hadn't been home for long.

The woman was young, her figure was plump, her skin was fair, and coupled with that gentle temperament, she immediately attracted Cao Yang.

Seeing this, Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou introduced her to Cao Yang from the side.

Finally, he pointed out: This one won't do; her family is evil. Any man who enters her house will be placed on the offering table before long.

Cao Yang laughed: "It's not like I'm marrying her home as a wife; can't I just play around? Anyway, she has no man at home; at worst, I'll give her money and send some things."

Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou: "She doesn't really lack money. If you really go to hook up with her, I'm afraid her mother, that Liu Blindie, will carry out feces to splash you."

Cao Yang touched his chin; obviously, these words didn't go in, and lewdness was revealed in his eyes.

"Move aside."

Old Man Uncle Tian bumped past the two of them.

Cao Yang: "Are you blind, old thing!"

Old Man Uncle Tian turned his head and looked at Cao Yang with a half-smile.

For some reason, Cao Yang felt his heart crawl with fear from this look, so he didn't continue cursing, and over there, the people happened to be gathered, calling him to the table, so he took one last look at the pretty widow on the dam and left with Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou.

Old Man Uncle Tian had heard what the two said earlier; he was actually looking forward to that guy having some crooked thoughts, preferably with some actual actions.

Regarding the Jin family's affairs, the Young Master had already called to tell him; the Young Master had recognized Liu Liu Jinxia as his god-grandmother, so their family's affairs were the Young Master's affairs, and the Young Master's affairs were his, Old Man Uncle Tian's, affairs.

Sometimes, if you want to do something, you also need to have something to do.

After handing the pills to Li Li Juxiang and instructing her on how to take them, Old Man Uncle Tian declined the invitation to come in for tea and left directly.

However, he didn't return to Grandpa Grandpa Hu Zi's house, but instead found a quiet haystack outside Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou's house to lie down, taking peanuts out of his pocket to shell and eat.

With various scenes from novels and stories constantly appearing in his mind, Old Man Uncle Tian even felt a little bit excited.

Who knew that the card game hadn't started for long before shouts came from inside; first, a group of people ran out in a panic, and then Wang Bian Bian Bian Sanhou walked out of the house supporting Cao Yang, whose chest was covered in blood.

It turned out Cao Yang had touched a 10-leopard, which matched the opponent's J-leopard, and the one holding the J-leopard was the dealer; Cao Yang immediately slapped the table and cursed the opponent for daring to cheat.

It was a new gambling den, and the people playing weren't familiar with each other; the person opposite and Cao Yang cursed at each other for a few sentences, and their tempers flared up directly, so he pulled out a switchblade and gave Cao Yang a fierce stab in the chest.

Old Man Uncle Tian sighed, knowing he had waited in vain.

He didn't know if the Liu Liu Jinxia family's fate was so tough that it directly cursed that Cao Yang in advance, or if, after the Liu Liu Jinxia family went to Jiujiang, they had also shared in the merit of the Old Old Old Jiang water, thanks to Jin Xingshan's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

Generally, in a state of lingering afterglow, the gaze of the Heavenly Dao is upon you, and that kind of karma of "punishing evil and promoting good" will be very timely.

Old Man Uncle Tian patted the peanut shells off his body, stood up, hummed a song with some listlessness, and walked home.

Halfway there, he saw a large truck from afar.

He recognized it; if nothing went wrong, that large truck was loaded with the last of the "Jiujiang Zhao."

Unfortunately, the Young Master didn't follow Young Master Li and the others back to Nantong this time.

And he himself could not leave Nantong for the time being.

In order not to alarm his own Great-Grandfather, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan first parked the large truck on the open space next to Grandpa Grandpa Hu Zi's house.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had already finished the construction drawings and handed them to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

It was a fairly large project, and it still had to be done when it was deep in the night.

When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin received the drawings, he teased:

"Grandma Liu's family has all returned, but the Foreign Team hasn't returned to Nantong yet; is it because they are afraid we will grab his labor?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "He is still using his family's materials."

After getting off the truck, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't rush home, but instead walked toward the peach forest.

When passing the dam, Benben, who was originally sitting in the crib happily watching the big color TV, saw the teenager passing by and immediately sat down, lowering his head.

It was just that there was no workbook in the crib, otherwise, he might have performed a "lowering head to do homework" for you directly.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked into the peach forest.

He saw Su Luo, who was playing the zither, and Qing An, who was sitting sideways with his chest bared, drinking wine.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan told Qing An about Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's performance after he had shaped Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's phantom while shedding the skin for the Black Black Black Black Black Black Black Jiao.

Qing An tilted his head, took a sip of wine, and said:

"Normal, all phantoms are your own conceptualization; whatever he is like in your heart, he will inevitably express himself that way. In your heart, he is just a guy who refuses to be managed and insists on being unconventional.

Haha, it's truly apt; kid, you have suffered deeply from that guy's bitterness, haha..."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stood quietly to the side.

After Qing An finished laughing, he gently shook the wine jar in his hand: "Just this? It's only enough to smooth down a mouthful of wine."
