Chapter 272 The College Entrance Examination

At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, gently tugged at Dai Xingyun's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! Are you worried that you won't have a chance to wash the dishes in the future?"

"Listen to me, have a good rest today! From now on, you'll have to wash all the dishes even if you don't want to."

Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He slowly leaned down to whisper in Shen Xiaoxiao's ear, lowering his voice and speaking softly in a tone full of ambiguity and doting affection.

"Honey, don't worry! After we get married, I'll take care of all the housework, big and small, inside and outside the house. I swear to you, I will never let you suffer even the slightest bit of hardship!" Dai Xingyun said confidently, patting his chest.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao was completely stunned. She stared wide-eyed at Dai Xingyun, as if she couldn't believe her ears. When did she agree to get married?

Immediately, a blush crept up her fair cheeks and spread to her ears. She turned her head away in a fluster, trying to appear calm, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her inner nervousness.

"You... you're getting more and more shameless these days, humph! But since you've said that, then from now on all the housework will be your job. Even if you beg me for help, I absolutely will not lift a finger."

Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun's face immediately broke into a joyful smile.

He was so excited he almost jumped up, shouting, "Great! Xiaoxiao, you're saying yes, right?"

"Haha, don't worry, from now on, whether it's laundry, cooking, cleaning, or grocery shopping, just leave all these miscellaneous tasks to me, and I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

Just then, Shen Zishan slowly walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing her daughter and Dai Xingyun standing in the living room, one blushing and the other beaming, she couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

He stopped and asked in confusion, "What's going on? I just heard you guys talking about agreeing or not, what exactly did you agree to?"

Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by her father's sudden question and secretly thought to herself that something was wrong.

She quickly turned to look at her father and stammered, "Dad...no...it's nothing, I just agreed to take the entrance exam for the same school as him."

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Dai Xingyun, afraid that he would expose her lie.

After hearing this, Shen Zishan smiled and nodded, indicating his understanding: "I see. That's really good. It would be best if you could both get into the same school. That way, you can look out for each other, and I, as your father, can feel more at ease."

Xiahou Jie stood to the side, rolling his eyes with a look of utter helplessness.

These two completely disregarded the fact that he was still there, and they just brazenly started showing affection in front of him!

Dai Xingyun looked up at the sky and found that it was getting dark.

He turned to Shen Zishan and said, "Uncle, it's getting dark, so let's go back first and come back tomorrow morning to pick up Xiaoxiao so we can take the exam together."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zishan quickly nodded and replied, "Alright, alright, you must be careful on the road. It's dark and the road is slippery. Don't rush, walk slowly!"

As he spoke, he personally escorted the two to the door, watching them walk further and further away until they disappeared from sight. Only then did he slowly close the door and turn back into the room.

Once inside, Shen Zishan looked at his daughter, Shen Xiaoxiao, and earnestly comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, it's getting late. You should go wash up and get some rest."

"Take good care of yourself and remember to keep a calm mindset. It's okay if you don't pass the exam this time."

Hearing her father's concerned words, Shen Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, then hugged Shen Zishan's arm and started to act coquettishly.

"Dad, don't worry! I will do my best to pass the exam. Even if I don't pass, it's okay. With my excellent medical skills, I will never have to struggle to make a living."

"You silly girl! You always know how to say nice things to make me happy. Alright, alright, go wash up and get some rest!"

That was indeed what Shen Zishan thought. Looking at his obedient, clever, and highly skilled daughter, he felt a surge of pride and satisfaction.

In his view, even if his daughter didn't take the college entrance examination and go to university, with her excellent medical skills, she would definitely be able to support herself and live a good life.

Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie returned to the educated youth compound with light steps.

At this moment, all the educated youth in the educated youth compound were still studying diligently by oil lamp, buried in their books and reviewing their lessons.

When they saw Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie walk in looking radiant and full of energy, many of the educated youth, who had stayed up all night studying and looked exhausted, couldn't help but show a hint of envy in their eyes.

However, these educated youths only dared to show their jealousy on their faces, and dared not do anything about it.

After all, the experiences of Jiang Long and Lin Huanhuan had taught everyone a profound lesson, and no one wanted to follow in their footsteps.

Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie didn't seem to care. They went to the stove in the educated youth compound and started a fire to boil water.

In no time, the water boiled. The two quickly washed up, then climbed into their respective beds, ready for a good night's sleep.

As the lights in the room went out, the entire room quickly fell into darkness.

Meanwhile, the educated youth who were still studying late into the night saw Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie fall asleep as soon as they returned to the courtyard, not studying as hard as they did. They were filled with envy, but could only shake their heads helplessly and continue to bury themselves in their books.

In the early hours of the morning, the entire village was immersed in a peaceful dream.

Ma Aning and Shen Zishan got up early and started preparing breakfast for the three of them.

The kitchen was brightly lit, and pots and pans clattered together.

Ma Aning skillfully kneaded the flour into dough, then cut it into small pieces and fried them in boiling oil.

Soon, golden and crispy fried dough sticks were taken out of the fryer, emitting an enticing aroma.

On the other side, Shen Zishan was not to be outdone. He skillfully wrapped the buns, and one by one, the small and exquisite buns with thin skin and large fillings were neatly arranged in the steamer.

Besides fried dough sticks and steamed buns, there was also steaming hot porridge bubbling away in the pot.

Soy milk was simmering in another pot, and fresh, rich soy milk was about to be ready. Several eggs were also boiled.

At this moment, the clock had already struck 4:30. Ma Aning wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to Shen Zishan, who was busy, and said, "It's almost time. Go to the educated youth compound and call Xingyun and the other two over for dinner."
