Chapter 61: The Carpenter Makes His Own Coffin (After Uncle 3 Dies, Heavy Snow Falls, and the Carpen

Yang Yuhan received her university admission notice more than two months ago. She was admitted to Harbin Medical University with the highest score in the county, 680 points.

She hid her college acceptance letter and didn't tell her parents that she had studied at Harbin Medical University in her previous life. On the day she filled out her college application, she originally wanted to apply for painting, but unfortunately she had no painting background or skills, so she just filled in the same provincial medical university as in her previous life.

First, she studied medicine in her previous life. Not only did she study medicine, but she was also a gynecologist and the head of the gynecology department in her previous life.

Studying is a waste of resources, and besides, this family doesn't have any money to waste. The tuition for her three years of study at the county's key high school was all earned by her working hard during winter and summer vacations and on Sundays. She worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant.

After the college entrance examination, she returned home and immediately rode her bicycle with the large ice cream box that her father had remade for her from thin wooden boards on the back seat. Then she went to the ice cream factory in Tuandingshan Township to buy ice cream and started running around to various nearby villages to sell it.

They'll be selling until the end of summer, which is about two months.

More than two months have passed since the college entrance examination, and when her parents ask why her university acceptance letter hasn't arrived yet, she always makes up various excuses.

As for the second son of the Jiang family, the logistics director of Tuandingshan Middle School, whom Yang Yumei was introduced to by Wang Qing on their blind date, she knew about him. However, she thought that since she didn't want to find a partner at this time, no matter how good the man's conditions were, they couldn't shake her determination to pursue her career and studies.

Since that's the case, the Jiang family can let whoever they want marry. What she didn't expect was that she thought a girl like Yu Mei, who was afraid of hard work and would refuse a boy with such good conditions, would not refuse.

Could it be that she still has feelings for Yu Dajun, the handsome boy in her junior high class? Yu Dajun was a high school graduate in the same year as her, and he already has a new high school girlfriend, who is the eldest daughter of Principal Xu of this village school.

I remember three years ago, Tuandingshan Township Middle School had only 39 top students left, according to regulations. They had three days to take the county-wide final exam at the Gucheng County No. 1 Middle School. The students gathered at the gate of Tuandingshan Middle School.

Liu Shulan got up early and made breakfast for her. After eating, she hurriedly rode her bicycle and sped to the vicinity of Tuandingshan Middle School. The middle school was located at the southernmost end of the village. She could see a white bus parked at the school gate in the distance.

The bus was surrounded by many male and female students carrying backpacks. She pedaled faster and soon arrived at the school gate, where she parked her bicycle on the metal rack for bicycles in the school's dirt playground.

Then, she quickly walked over to the bus, where some seats appeared to have been occupied by strangers.

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Huo, called out, "Line up and get on the bus."

Everyone boarded the bus in an orderly fashion. Mr. Huo usually presented a stern and authoritative demeanor when teaching ninth-grade Chinese or giving speeches to the class. Even the most mischievous boys in the class were somewhat afraid of him, let alone these top-performing students who only knew how to study. Everyone rushed to get on the bus.

Once on the train, most of the candidates had standing tickets, and only those who arrived early and were at the front of the line had seats.

Even just standing there is captivating; it's quite nice to stand at such a young age. However, although she is the same age as the other students, her actual age is twice theirs.

She borrowed the original owner's young body, and thus became young as well. Naturally, her health improved. This was the first time she had gone to the county town since her rebirth.

For others, it was a preliminary exam; for her, it was just for fun. The exam questions were child's play for her in her previous life.

She was happy, and so were the others. What made them unhappy was that the school should have chartered a special bus for the examinees to take the county's preliminary exam.

She stood there, one hand tightly gripping the overhead handle. She noticed that Xu Meili was standing right next to Yu Dajun. Every now and then, when the bus bumped violently as it drove towards the potholes on the dirt and gravel road in the county town, people would start to sway. Xu Meili would tightly hold onto the back hem of Yu Dajun's light blue and white "Dacron" shirt.

She inadvertently saw a handsome middle-aged man who looked exactly like Yu Dajun sitting in the outer seat of the car, two seats in front of Yu Dajun, near the window. Inside, near the glass window, was a stylish middle-aged woman with short hair.

Yu Han was not mistaken; the handsome man was indeed Yu Dabao's biological father.

Passengers from the local bus station were pre-loaded onto the bus seats, and then the bus went to the middle school to pick up the test takers.

The handsome middle-aged man looked up at Yu Dajun and said, "Dajun, do well on your exam. I'll come over for lunch."

Yu Dajun was engrossed in reading a world geography book, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

The man repeated himself, but Yu Dajun still didn't hear him and continued reciting his world geography book.

Xu Meili heard it twice. The first time she ignored it, but the second time she tugged hard at the back of his shirt.

Yu Dajun finally replied. "Ah! Dad, what did you say?"

The woman sitting by the window in the handsome car smiled secretly.

Then, the man said impatiently, "I said, why are you still studying when the exam is coming up?"

"Dad, this is called sharpening your spear at the last minute; even if it's not quick, it'll still shine!"

"Haha!" Everyone on the bus burst into laughter!

The woman by the car window said, "Your father said we'll have lunch together."

"Who? Who are you having dinner with? What do we mean? Are you here? Who are you? I don't recognize you."

The woman then realized she had misspoke and hurriedly defended herself, saying, "I'm sorry, I misspoke in my haste."

The man glared at her fiercely and quickly moved his large frame away from her.

Yu Dajun believed him and said, "It's okay, Auntie. Dad, I'm going to lunch with my classmates." After saying that, Yu Dajun continued reading.

Seeing that he continued reading, the man then moved further inside.

Then the woman gave him a slight smile and winked.

After about forty minutes, the bus arrived at the pedestrian street in the county town, and the passengers got off.

Then the bus drove straight to the examination site of the county's No. 1 Middle School.

After driving for another ten minutes, the bus stopped outside the main gate of the No. 1 Middle School. The examinees got off the bus and went onto the school's dirt and gravel playground.

A white ambulance was parked on the playground.

On the playground, each male and female candidate from a different town gathered at their respective schools. Then, their respective team leaders said a few words, and then they took their admission tickets and entered their respective examination rooms.

The exam lasted for three days, during which all the candidates stayed in the same large hotel not far from the No. 1 High School, sharing the same bed.

In three days, Yang Yuhan only brought twenty-odd yuan with her, which she hadn't spent yet. At noon, she went to a snack bar with a girl from her school to eat and buy ice cream. In the end, she even saved money to buy a light pink short-sleeved shirt with flared cuffs made of smooth fabric for eight yuan.

Yang Yuhan was still shaken after recalling the events.

She felt that her father's health had improved a lot in the past few days. He was doing some carpentry work with Yang Zhi in the woodworking room of the east wing.

Yang Zhannan is much better now and wants to attend the Sanjiang Art School in Jiamusi City. Her father can help with her tuition, saving her the trouble of working to earn money. She'd rather focus on studying than earning money.

She walked happily to the front of the craftsman's room in the east wing that her grandparents had converted into. When she looked into the room, she was so frightened that she almost suffocated and immediately took two steps back.

Inside the woodworking room was a large coffin, and Yang Zhannan and Yang Zhi were making a large coffin board out of some kind of wood.

He later learned that Yang Zhannan had made a large coffin for him. He knew he would soon die.

A few days later, his third uncle passed away. The coffin that Yang Zhannan had originally prepared for his own funeral was used by Yang Zhanxi.

On the day Uncle San died, he was placed in this large coffin painted red. Diao Yan and Yu Mei cried their hearts out, especially Yu Mei, who jumped up and down crying. She lost control of her emotions unintentionally and did not know that her behavior had offended the villagers who were watching the commotion. Wu Sanbao started gossiping again, "Look at her, the way she cried and took those two steps looked like she was dancing."

Yu Han overheard Wu Sanbao's words and immediately retorted, "Your father is dead, and you still care about your appearance? If you care about your manners, it means you don't take your father's death seriously."

This immediately rendered Wu Sanbao speechless.

A few days after his third uncle died, Yang Zhannan passed away on a snowy day.
