Chapter 66 Pt 1 (1/2)
Hey guys,
I’m so sorry for the abrupt break that I took. My summer lab has finished, so I should have more time to translate. (I can’t wait to get to Zhao’er and TingRang’s wedding.)
I will post part 2 of chapter 66 tomorrow.

So sorry for the abrupt and long break!
Xue TingRang and the others didn’t know that there was still this scene in secret. The four went around the main entrance of the academy, and they saw a lot of people around the door from a distance.
There were the elders and families with their younger ones.
Mao Badou sighed on their misfortune, and said to the three of them: “Let’s change our path.” Then the few went back the same way and went around to the back door, knocking on the door and having the school official inside open the door for them. Only then could they get in.
Nowadays, people in the school don’t go through the front door. Xue TingRang and the others thought that no one would be here at noon. Who would have thought there would be people crowding the doors.
There are too many students coming to study recently, and most of them are students from the original Qinghe Academy. Probably because of what happened before, Qingyuan was very disgusted with these people, and some students even jointly asked Lin Miao to not accept Qinghe students, because no one knows what the behavior of these students was.
Lin Miao did not agree, but he did not veto it either. However, in terms of enrolling students, even though the county magistrate Xu had hinted several times, Lin Miao was still very cautious in accepting.
Maybe people have the best mentality for things that they can’t have. Recently, more and more people have come to Qingyuan. If they are rejected, they will not leave, and will be blocking at the door, with an attitude of never giving up unless their goal is achieved.
The four of them returned to the dorm, took a short rest, and then took out the books to read, including Mao Badou, who was usually the most lazy. It was probably because of his apprenticeship that temporarily stimulated him, but it is unknown how long his enthusiasm can last.
In the afternoon, it was Li Shu as usual, and the class was released just halfway through Shen Shi 1. Tomorrow is break day. Whenever there is a day off, the first class will be let out very early.
Today is the day that Zhao’er will pick up Xue TingRang. She has just learned to drive a cart recently and was very interested in it. Xue TingRang stepped out of the door and saw that she was wearing men’s clothes, sitting on the shaft of the cart, looking at him with a smile.
It was July, and the weather was already very hot. Xue TingRang only wore a thin robe, yet he was sweating. Not to mention Zhao’er. Her face was red from the sun, and her temples were sweating a lot.
“It’s so hot, and the sun is poisonous at this hour. Don’t come next time. It’s not like I can’t go back on my own. I know how to go back.” Xue TingRang said distressingly.
“You also know that the sun is poisonous. If you walk slowly to the entrance of the town and then take the deathly slow ox cart back, wouldn’t you also suffer from the heat along the way? In fact, it is only hot when the cart has stopped, and when the cart starts moving after a while, it’s not as hot.”
Xue TingRang was about to talk when a ridiculous voice came from behind: “TingRang, Zhao’er Jie is caring for you, and you don’t appreciate it.”
It was Mao Badou who was talking. Before the three of them came up, Mao Badou first yelled sweetly “Zhao’er Jie”, and Chen Jian also called “Zhao’er Jie”, but in a relatively more serious tone. Li Datian only smiled at Zhao’er and nodded.
Mao Badou said: “Look at you, don’t even know how to call someone.”
Li Datian glared at him with his eyes.
He grinned: “Che, it’s not that you haven’t called before. You are only a little older than Zhao’er Jie. You won’t suffer from calling her Jie once.”
Zhao’er looked at several people with a dumbfounded smile. It was not the first time that she had met Mao Badou and others. She had been in contact with them the last time she went to investigate Sun He’s affairs. She also knows the nature of these three people, and this Mao Badou is a living treasure 2.
Li Datian was itchy with hatred, and spurned him: “You can leave on your own as soon as possible. We have to leave too.”
He and Chen Jian live in the countryside, but they are not on the same road as Xue TingRang, but they can take a ride to the entrance of the town and then change to another cart. Only Mao Badou lives in the town, and there is no ride.
