Chapter 96 - 18_5
He now had a premonition that this story would repeat itself in the lives of his grandchildren.
Uncle Sanjiang once said over drinks that the Li family’s ancestral grave had brought about the birth of Yuanhou. Indeed, several years from now, when Little Yuanhou grows up and takes the university entrance exams, it might just happen again.
The university students had been assigned tasks as part of their internships, and it is well-known that young people’s energy is unimaginable. Instead of rushing back to sleep, they gathered around a lightbulb on the dam, took out some snacks they brought, and began a tea party conversation.
Xue Liangliang noticed Li Zhiyuan; he was impressed with the young kid and walked over with a piece of meat floss bread wrapped in oil paper, placing it in front of Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan looked up, saw him, and smiled: "Thank you, brother."
"Little friend, are you a local?"
Although he was also working on the river project and was dirty, the child’s clothes and temperament did not seem to be from a rural area, mainly due to the unconstrained and open demeanor that seemed natural to him.
"Yeah, I am. My name is Li Zhiyuan, this is my grandfather, and those behind are my uncles."
"Hehe, my name is Xue Liangliang. You’re in elementary school, right? Which grade?"
"Mm, third grade."
Li Zhiyuan nodded; in reality, sometimes he himself found it hard to explain to outsiders which grade he was in, only knowing that once students reached the appropriate age in his class, they would automatically move up to the next level.
