Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 39
The two of them were not polite, picked up the fruit and ate it.

After Li Minqin finished eating, he took out a few books and returned them to Tian Tian with a serious expression on his face.

"Have you finished reading it all?"

"No."

"I've read all these books, don't worry, return them after you read them."

"Return it to you! I won't read it in the future."

After speaking, he picked up the cup, lowered his head and concentrated on drinking tea.Hearing what he said, Xia Yining next to him became anxious.

"Minqin, we still have to read the book no matter what, we can't stop, we..."

"I'm already 28, when did I read it?"

Li Minqin interrupted Xia Yining, and both of them fell silent.

In the past, eating and drinking were difficult. They insisted on studying and studying. In the past two years, the conditions have improved a lot, but they have lost that energy. How long will they persist?How long can you last?When is the head?
These are all unknowns, and the unknown future makes them very confused and even desperate.

Tian Tian can understand their feelings very well. This hopeless and hopeless life has made them lose the motivation and confidence to persevere.

"You take the book back and read it again. You have gone through 99 steps. It makes no sense to stop at the last step."

The two raised their heads and looked at Tian Tian with hopeful eyes.

"Did you know something?
"Tian Tian, ​​ask Minqin to continue watching, have you heard something?"

Both of them were about to give up their hearts. Can you not be excited by such a sudden sentence?

In the past two years, Tian Tian has also been to the capital frequently, and the contacts are all big figures above, no wonder they think too much.

In fact, according to Tian Tian's reasoning, the resumption of the college entrance examination took only one or two years. Because of her influence, the country's agricultural promotion has been vigorously promoted, and the food shortage has been alleviated.The resumption of the college entrance examination is imminent, and there is no reason to delay it.

"Don't say anything, don't ask anything, go back and read the books carefully, you will be able to take the college entrance examination within two years, the opportunity is right in front of you, you decide how to choose."

"Tian Tian—really? Is this true?"

Xia Yining stood up excitedly and wanted to pull Tian Tian's hand, then retracted her hand, rubbing her hands and circling on the spot.

"I—then—then I'd better keep studying! I'll return you after reading these books."

"Whatever, I didn't say anything, just take care of yourself and don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, Minqin and I will study hard. We don't know anything else, so we will trouble you if we don't understand anything."

"Well, come here if you have anything to do, I'm always at home."

"Okay, then we're not going to be polite."

"Tian Tian, ​​thank you, otherwise I would..."

"You're welcome, I didn't do anything, did I?"

"Yes, yes, nothing was said or done."

"thank you, I know now."

The two left with expectations and confidence for the future, with two completely different moods when entering and leaving.

Looking at the time, the old man and Shitou are coming back soon, Tian Tian is also thinking about what to eat for dinner.

In the late summer and early autumn, the weather is still very hot, let's eat cold noodles!Tian Tian got up and went to the kitchen to prepare.

In a short time, Tian Tian's hand-rolled noodles, shredded cucumber and sauce are all ready, waiting for the old man and Xiao Shitou to come back.

Water was boiling on the stove, and Tian Tian was mixing small cold dishes, when he heard the voice of the old man outside.

"Come in, let's have dinner together later, see you in a few years..."

It sounded like he was talking to an outsider. Tian Tian came out and saw that the old man was pushing a bicycle, and there was a small stone sitting behind the bicycle. Lu Heping was following behind, and the two chatted vigorously.

"Baby, grandpa is back."

"Sister, I'm back."

Seeing Tian Tian at the door of the kitchen, the grandfather and grandson were very happy.

Ten-year-old Xiao Shitou fell out of the back seat of the car and ran to hold his sister's hand.He is much more cheerful and talkative than before, he looks fair and cute, just like a young lady.

"Baby, this is your Grandpa Lu's grandson—Heping, who has been to our house before, and is eating at home today."

"Well, for noodles today, grandpa, please take a break for a while, and the meal will be ready soon. Shitou washes his face first, and then comes to help sister."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

He ran to the back of the house in a hurry. He was agile and didn't look like a child. Lu Heping looked at his back thoughtfully.

Tian Tian went into the kitchen and continued to do his own business, and ignored the man he just met, as long as the old man was happy.

"Noodles are good. The noodles made by my baby are the most delicious. I happen to be hungry after riding a bike for a while. I want to eat more. Come——Sit down peacefully. Try our noodles today. I guarantee you like it."

The old man warmly greeted Lu Heping to sit under the grape arbor, motioned him to eat the fruit on the stone table, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of fruit tea for each of them, drinking and chatting.

If the old man knew that the person in front of him was trying to get his granddaughter's attention, I don't know how he would feel.

It's a happy chat here, and Tian Tian's noodles are ready soon.One meat dish, one vegetarian dish, two cold dishes, one bowl of overwatered noodles, three bowls of sauce, one dish of shredded cucumber, one dish of bean sprouts, and the noodles are very particular about eating.

Lu Heping couldn't help but look at Tian Tian a few times, seeing that she didn't even look at him, he felt a little disappointed.

Tian Tian filled noodles for the old man and Xiaoshitou, mixed them according to their tastes, and then dealt with Lu Heping politely—just dealt with them.

"You serve the noodles and vegetables yourself, and put the seasonings according to your taste. You are welcome."

"OK, thanks!"

Tian Tian ignored him, mixed a bowl for himself and started eating.

Lu Heping mixed a bowl for himself according to Tian Tian's steps, and he couldn't stop after just one bite.

The three of Tian Tian's family were full, and Lu Heping ate all the leftover noodles, feeling a little unsatisfied.

After eating and drinking enough, Tian Tian and Shitou cleaned up the dishes. Lu Heping wanted to help but Tian Tian refused, so the old man dragged him to continue drinking tea and chatting, and he didn't leave until dark.

Tian Tian practiced in the space every night. Since his cultivation reached the first level, his cultivation became more and more difficult.Tian Tian felt that she might have reached this point in her life, and it would be difficult to make another breakthrough. The first level of cultivation was already a pleasant surprise for her, let it take its course!
But she had to seriously consider the next problem.

The college entrance examination will resume soon, should she go to university?

She didn't want to, but the old man really wanted her to go to college, and he said this more than once.

Anyway, she's still young, why don't she go to university as the old man wants!Besides, the housing and land in Kyoto should also be planned. After a few years of university, she can do things justifiably. After all, college students are quite rare now.

Think carefully, and be prepared when you come down. Although the current college entrance examination is not stressful for her, she still has to take it seriously, and take the test with the best ones, so that the old man is also happy.

Qing Tiantian counted his small treasury, there are more than 90 in cash, plus the ginseng that will be given to Mr. Song immediately, and the money distributed by the mayor at the end of the year, there will be a small 100 million.There are still a few boxes of gold, but this thing can't be moved now, so it can only be left for now.As for the antique calligraphy, paintings and furniture collected over the years, these things were collected because of hobbies, and I never thought about selling them, so they don't count in Tian Tian's eyes.

This is not a lot of money, but if you save it for a few more years, it will be enough to start a career after graduating from college.

100 million is a huge amount of money, more than enough to do a career in this era, so Tian Tian doesn't take it seriously.

The affairs of the town have been handed over to Lin Zi for the past two years, and the slopes and wasteland behind have also been taken down. After two years when the situation is better, they can be planned and utilized.

The famine situation has eased a lot in the past two years, but the supply of food is still not much.Therefore, Linzi's black market has developed well, and its area has also expanded a lot.

Food, daily necessities, cloth and other things in Tian Tian Space are also very popular on the black market.

Two years ago when Tian Tian came back from Kyoto, he took out a women's bicycle from the space. He used the excuse that he bought it from Kyoto, and he became a car owner. It was much more convenient to go to town, and he didn't have to squeeze a tractor.

Five days later, Tian Tian went out early in the morning to ride a bicycle to the town to deliver parcels to Mr. Song.

As soon as he went out by bike, he ran into Mr. Lu and Lu Heping.

Wearing a military uniform and carrying a bag in his hand, Lu Heping seemed to be leaving.

Seeing that the two old men were also there, Tian Tian had no choice but to get out of the car to say hello.
