Having money at home gives you confidence.

Since their wedding, Gao Qinghe and her husband have finally been able to sleep peacefully.

I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning feeling refreshed and energized.

Jiang Yu is going back to school today.

Jiang's mother was rambling on about what she needed to bring.

Jiang Yu is still living on campus this semester. Jiang Baohai offered to rent her a place off-campus, but she shook her head and refused.

Gao Qinghe remembered the storefront she had just bought, and there were still empty rooms on the second floor, and said:
"Why rent a house? I'll just live on the second floor of the shop I just bought. You can choose whichever room you like."

After saying that, she thought about it and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, I'll just stay at school. At least it's safer."

Jiang Yu was both amused and exasperated, but she kept her sister-in-law's kindness in mind.

Jiang's mother glanced at her son in surprise. "You bought her a storefront in the county town, how come I didn't know?"

Jiang Baohai received a look from his mother and said with pride:

“Mom, that’s a storefront that Qinghe bought with her own money. She and her brother Miaomiao each bought one.”

Hearing this, Jiang's mother was somewhat skeptical, suspecting that her son had provided the money to help.

After all, no other woman around her has the ability to buy a house on her own.

However, despite her suspicions, Jiang's mother wouldn't voice them directly.

Like I said, I'm afraid my son will be unhappy.

The thought of her daughter going to school made her panic, and she dared not look at Gao Qinghe for more than a second, as if Gao Qinghe was about to devour her.

Gao Qinghe shrugged, finding it all rather amusing.

Jiang Baohai is still at home, and his mother-in-law is like this.

If Jiang Baohai isn't home, I wonder if she'll hide outside like a quail.

Thinking of that scene, Gao Qinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jiang Baohai looked at her strangely and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

Gao Qinghe waved her hand, coughed twice to compose her expression, and said, "It's nothing."

Jiang's mother's cooking skills were still a bit inferior to her grandmother's.

The millet porridge was overcooked and had a slightly burnt taste. The side dishes were leftovers from a banquet that had been frozen the day before yesterday, so they were a bit greasy.

Gao Qinghe thought that when she got to the county town, she would first have a bowl of rice noodles.

Seeing that Jiang Yu had almost finished preparing her things, the couple told her to put them in the car herself, and then drove her to school on their way.

Today is also the day for new students to register.

The county town was bustling with activity, and the area in front of the No. 1 Middle School was filled with newly arrived students and their parents.

However, most of the students came alone, carrying large and small bags on their thin shoulders, all of which were things they would need to eat and use this semester.

Gao Qingmiao's shop is located right behind the No. 1 Middle School, making it very convenient for Gao Qingya to go to and from school. She doesn't need to live on campus and chooses to commute.

However, they brought quite a lot of things with them.

Gao Qingya didn't want an adult to take her; she rode her bicycle to the county town with her brother early in the morning.

The brother and sister put their luggage away first, then relaxed and went to register with their admission notices.

Gao Qingya arrived at the school gate excitedly, finding everything fascinating. Gao Qingmiao followed behind, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, the brother and sister soon spotted a striking figure standing in the crowd.

Gao Qingya cried out "Ah!" and pounced forward like a butterfly with her arms outstretched.

"Sister! What are you doing here?"

Caught off guard, Gao Qinghe was given a bear hug by her younger sister, and stumbled back three or four steps before finally regaining her footing.

He pulled the person off him in an annoyed tone, "Waiting for you, otherwise why do you think I'm sunbathing here?"

"Sis, where's my brother-in-law?"

Gao Qingmiao saw her brother-in-law's red Xiali parked on the side of the road, but didn't see him.

Gao Qinghe explained, "He escorted Jiang Yu to her dormitory and will be out in a bit."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Gao Qingmiao and Gao Qingya hurriedly called out, "Brother-in-law!"

I haven't met Jiang Yu and Gao Qingmiao yet, so Gao Qinghe gave me a brief introduction.

Jiang Baohai patted his younger sister's shoulder, "You're the senior, you know this place best, so take care of Ya Ya from now on."

Gao Qingya tilted her head and made a face at her sister, wondering who would take care of whom.

Gao Qinghe glared at her, and Gao Qingya immediately turned her face back and smiled sweetly at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's brows furrowed as she laughed, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.

"Come on, the new students are registering at Mingde Building. I'll take you there."

Seeing Gao Qingya's carefree attitude, carrying only a schoolbag, I asked:
Did you bring the notification letter?

Gao Qingya raised her chin and patted her backpack, "I brought it!"

She's just lively and cheerful, not careless.

The registration process was very simple. The class assignments had already been posted, so we just found our respective class locations and lined up to register.

After Gao Qingya successfully reported for duty, Jiang Yu took her to pay her tuition, apply for a student ID, and exchange her cafeteria meal tickets.

Since it's a day student program, there's no need to go to the dormitory to register.

Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai hadn't experienced youthful campus life for many years. Hand in hand, they walked under the sycamore-lined avenue of No. 1 Middle School, talking head to head about the past that no third person could hear.

Gao Qingmiao endured being a third wheel for an hour before finally waiting for Gao Qingya and the other person to return.

The young man said happily, "All done? Come on, let's go have lunch together. It's on me today, so you can name whatever you want to eat!"

Gao Qingya immediately raised her hand and said, "I want to drink soda, eat ice cream, and have a bowl of beef noodles from a street vendor!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yu and asked, "What about you?"

Jiang Yu glanced at her brother, but her brother only looked at his sister-in-law.

“I’m the same as Ya Ya,” Jiang Yu said helplessly.

After having lunch with the three young men, Gao Qinghe decisively conscripted them all, taking the three younger ones to the department store to work as porters.

There are many things missing in the new house. Let's get a spring mattress first, a few more clothes hangers, and a washbasin and foot basin, one for each person.

There are also towels, toothbrushes, water cups, slippers, combs, soap, laundry detergent, and mosquito nets.

Oh, and there are also electric fans and washing machines.

These two major items are both essential!
Thinking that her grandmother and parents still wash clothes by hand, Gao Qinghe gave her younger brother a look.

Gao Qingmiao patted her chest and said, "I'll bring my parents here to buy a washing machine once I've saved enough money."

The thought of a twin-tub semi-automatic washing machine costing three thousand yuan made Gao Qingmiao's heart ache.

Gao Qinghe scoffed at him, "Pathetic."

He took out 1,500 yuan from his bag and handed it over, saying, "You can pay the rest."

Spending money like water couldn't be more extreme.

The three children watched as Gao Qinghe took out stacks of banknotes from her bag, and they were completely stunned.

Jiang Yu thought to herself, "So this is how people perceive nouveau riche."

Suddenly I understand why Yuan Liping and her group dislike me.

Who wouldn't be jealous, envious, or resentful upon seeing this?
Gao Qingya glanced at Jiang Yu and said, "Why do you act like you've never spent any money? Your brother-in-law earns so much, doesn't he let you spend it?"

To prove he was rich, Jiang Yu silently pulled out a two-hundred-yuan bill from his pocket.

This is her monthly living expenses, averaging six yuan and six jiao a day.

Gao Qingya looked down at the twenty-four yuan in her schoolbag. She only had six yuan a week!

Jiang Yu adjusted her glasses with the back of her hand, a happy smile playing on her lips, and eagerly followed her sister-in-law to be her free porter.

Gao Qingya snorted and squeezed in, not to be outdone.

With everything in her hands swept away, Gao Qinghe shook her head and chuckled.
