But they were so poor there that no matter how hard Gao Hongqi tried, he couldn't support his family.

Gao's mother was not in good health, and even if Lin Shuhua had a salary, it was not enough to spend. When Gao's mother passed away, she left behind a lot of foreign debt.

As the foreign debt was about to be paid off and the college entrance examination was resumed, Lin Shuhua was lucky enough to be admitted to university.

The local health system wants her to return and says they will increase her living allowance.

However, Lin Shuhua felt that he could stay on the Loess Plateau for the rest of his life.

But she didn't want her two sons to spend their whole lives in a place where washing their hair was a luxury.

So she refused the paid study offer, but without a salary, she couldn't even afford the travel expenses to go to school.

Later, Gao Hongqi ignored the dissuasion of relatives and friends, and went around looking for help from relatives and friends, and borrowed 50 yuan for Lin Shuhua as travel expenses.

Fortunately, there is no tuition fee for going to university in this era and there is also a living allowance, otherwise she would not be able to continue her studies even if she passed the exam.

Lin Shuhua added with emotion, "Sometimes, in life, as long as you can endure hardships and persevere, you will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think if we persevere a little longer, our family's hard times will be over."

When saying this, Lin Shuhua was not her usual cold and aloof sister, but a happy and contented little girl.

After listening to Lin Shuhua's experience, Jiang Yanqiu also understood why Yun Yinian would rather give her betrothal gift to Wang Weiwei.

In her opinion, being able to leave the place where she was queue-jumped was enough to satisfy her, and everything else was just external material possessions.

Not everyone is as lucky as Lin Shuhua to meet Gao Hongqi, who cares about her wholeheartedly and trusts her.

Over the past six months, many parents of students have gone to the school to cause trouble, fearing that their daughters-in-law would abandon their husbands and children after being admitted to university.

Some rural wives are not allowed to go to university even after they are admitted by their husbands’ families.

Gao Hongqi even borrowed money from everywhere to allow Lin Shuhua to study. Such a relationship between husband and wife is really rare.

But compared with them, Jiang Yanqiu felt that she was still relatively lucky.

Although the local leaders of Linjiang Commune were not good people, they did not force the female educated youth so blatantly.

Perhaps it is because the rectification has just taken place that the local officials are not so arrogant. Anyway, they are the lucky ones.

On the second weekend after school started, Zhao Lanlan specially came to invite Jiang Yanqiu to her house for dinner.

Her father was transferred to the Imperial Capital Normal University as a professor, and the whole family moved in. He specially invited Jiang Yanqiu and others to dinner at home.

Jiang Yanqiu thought she was inviting everyone at the educated youth site, so she took Chu Tingnan with her. But when they arrived, they found out that there were only the two of them.

Zhao Lanlan then said, "My parents specially invited you to dinner to thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would have been swatted away by the bear long ago."

Jiang Yanqiu said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't you already thank me before? What else do you need to thank me for?"

Zhao Lanlan smiled and said, "That's different. Besides, how can I repay the favor of saving my life with just a little thing? According to the old man, you are my second parents. If you don't come, my parents will come to thank you in person."

After the meal, Jiang Yanqiu finally understood why Zhao Lanlan would rather suffer herself than subsidize the family. So that was the reason.

The atmosphere in this family is really great, and there is a clear division of labor in everything.

Zhao's mother is a typical Jiangnan woman, gentle and polite, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze when listening to her.

Mr. Zhao is not at all arrogant. He speaks and acts casually, which makes people feel comfortable.

Zhao's parents and Zhao Lanlan accompanied Jiang Yanqiu and the others, while the cooking was done by the younger brothers and sisters.

The work of several people is arranged clearly, and when these people need help from others, they have to say "please".

The funny thing is, if the other party doesn’t do it and returns it, they have to write it down in a notebook and say they have to return it later.

Although it may feel a bit strange, this is also a special way for brothers and sisters to get along with each other.

After dinner, Zhao’s parents packed a bag of local specialties for Jiang Yanqiu and the others to take away.

When sending Jiang Yanqiu and the others out, Zhao Lanlan said that her parents also felt that the relationship between her and Gu Qingqing was one of mutual benefit and no one owed anyone anything.

In order to thank Gu Qingqing for her previous help, Zhao's father gave Zhao Lanlan a famous painting and asked her to pass it on to Gu Qingqing, and also told Zhao Lanlan not to have any psychological burden in the future.

After the National Day, Lin Shaoyang came back, but he hadn't arrived yet.

He called everyone in advance and asked them to go to Jiang Yanqiu's yard on Sunday, as he wanted to treat everyone to dinner.

Lin Shaoyang finally arrived at noon on Sunday and brought back a lot of seafood.

Everyone arrived one after another in the afternoon, all of them were old acquaintances.

Shen Shuyan and Qiao Lei both came alone, and Qiao Lei felt a little embarrassed when they met.

She didn't expect that Shen Shuyan would be at Lin Shaoyang's party.

Lin Shuyan didn't expect that Qiao Lei said she had something to do and was here to attend someone else's party.

But Lin Shaoyang had no foresight at all, and he was particularly serious in introducing the two of them individually.

Shen Shuyan spoke openly about their relationship, and Qiao Lei could only agree with him.

Lin Shaoyang said in a somewhat blaming tone, "You two too. I told you to bring your partner if you have one, but you came separately, making it so I knew everything. Congratulations, and I wish you a happy marriage soon."

"Thank you for your good wishes!" What could Shen Shuyan say? Qiao Lei said she had something to do and no time, so he couldn't force her to come.

However, he could also see that Qiao Lei only cared about his power and had no interest in him personally.

I refused him from coming to the party today, I’m afraid he has other plans!

Qiao Lei actually had this idea. Shen Shuyan was quite good and looked like the type she liked.

However, he is just a high school student, and Qiao Lei has been a college student in two lives, and in this life she is a top student at the Imperial Capital University. It always feels inappropriate to marry a high school student.

She unexpectedly learned from Gu Qingqing that Lin Shaoyang had already obtained his university diploma, and was not in contact with the outside world because he was busy with a research project.

She no longer had any particularly strong feelings for Shen Shuyan.

What she wants now is a backer with whom she can do whatever she wants. In comparison, Lin Shaoyang is more stable and reliable.

That's why I rejected Shen Shuyan's invitation, and ended up having gatherings alone.

Jiang Yanqiu and Tian Mi watched the two people's unnatural expressions from the side.

Tian Mi lowered her voice and said, "See? I told you that Qiao Lei was attracted to Shen Shuyan's conditions, not him personally. If she was attracted to him personally, she would definitely be spreading the word."

Jiang Yanqiu nodded repeatedly and said, "You still have good taste."

Now she also feels that the relationship between the two is a bit strange and not like a normal couple.

Tian Mi started gossiping again: "Some time ago, Qiao Liang and Xu Yuefei were reported as vagrants and profiteers. They were caught red-handed, and it was Shen Shuyan who used his connections to get them released.

During that time, Qiao Lei and Shen Shuyan had a very close relationship, holding hands every time they met, but they became strangers again after just a few days."
