As for Qi Ning, the clothing store she opened was originally intended for her family, and she planned to hand it over to Qi Yang and Li Suying, the couple, for management. She had other plans of her own.

They came today not only to thank Wu Zhihua, but mainly for this matter.

"Ningning, do you also want to go to university?" Su Lin asked her.

“Yes, godmother,” Qi Ning said. “My brother and sister-in-law have taken over the family clothing store, and I’m planning to go to university.”

"Great, that's very ambitious. What major do you want to study?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I want to study medicine."

Studying medicine is Qi Ning's hobby, and it also aligns with Lu Yiheng's current workplace. Su Lin happens to be a doctor, so she can get her help. It's a win-win-win situation.

Sure enough, Su Lin was even happier when she heard that: "Studying medicine? Studying medicine is great, your idea is good."

"However," Qi Ning stammered, "Yi Heng should have a college entrance exam quota at his workplace, but it's different for me. I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to take the college entrance exam."

Su Lin and Wu Zhihua exchanged a glance and immediately agreed, "That's easy, just focus on preparing for the exam."

"That's great, thank you godmother."

Qi Ning smiled and placed a piece of food on Su Lin's plate.

It's true that having connections makes things easier.

As Lu Yiheng left Wu Zhihua's house again, he looked at Qi Ning with a smile in his eyes: "How are you so amazing? You got close to Director Su so easily."

Qi Ning raised her eyebrows: "There are many intricacies involved here, you should learn more about them."

“No.” Lu Yiheng shook his head. “In my opinion, it’s mainly because you’re likable.”

Qi Ning scoffed and punched Lu Yiheng lightly: "Well, so you've learned to be glib too."

"Didn't you tell me to learn more? I'm just listening to you," Lu Yiheng said matter-of-factly.

The two chatted and laughed as they went back.

Since they are preparing for the college entrance examination, they are even busier than before.

Lu Yiheng works at his company during the day, while Qi Ning helps Li Suying at the store. After work, Lu Yiheng rides his bicycle to pick up Qi Ning, and the two go home together to study.

The following year, the two took the college entrance examination and were successfully admitted to the best university in the area. Qi Ning studied clinical medicine, and Lu Yiheng studied medical management.

During their four years of university, the couple worked while studying and avoided having children by using contraception.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and the two graduated successfully, receiving their university diplomas.

After graduating, Qi Ning interned at the city hospital where Su Lin worked, and they became colleagues.

Over the past four years, Lu Yiheng has gained seniority and improved his education at work, so he has naturally been promoted and become a permanent employee.

On Qi Ning's first day as an intern at the hospital, Lu Yiheng drove over to pick her up after get off work, and his car was parked at the hospital entrance.

Qi Ning went downstairs with her colleagues. When her colleagues saw Lu Yiheng's car, they teased her enviously, "Dr. Qi, Director Lu is here to pick you up."

"Yes, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."

Qi Ning said goodbye to her colleagues, picked up her bag, and got into the car with light steps: "Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived."

Lu Yiheng smiled and glanced at Qi Ning, then started the car and asked her, "How was your day?"

"That's great. Everyone knows I'm Director Su's goddaughter and your wife. Who would dare to give me a hard time?"

"That's good." Lu Yiheng turned the steering wheel. "We're going to my older brother's place for dinner tonight. He told me he's prepared a special feast to celebrate for you."

During those four years, Qi Ning and Lu Yiheng were doing very well, and Qi Yang and Li Suying also ran their clothing store very well, opening several branches in the city.

That clothing store was originally opened by Qi Ning and Lu Yiheng, and then handed over to Qi Yang and his wife to run, so it was considered a joint venture between them.

The clothing store made money in the past few years, and both families bought houses and cars. The houses were in the same area, next to each other, which was very convenient.

Not long after, Lu Yiheng drove home, parked his car in his yard, and then went with Qi Ning to Qi Yang's house next door.

"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you."

Li Suying, holding her two-year-old daughter, came out to greet them with Qi Chen.

"sister in law."

Qi Ning stepped forward and took her little niece, pinching her cheek: "Yueyue, did you miss your aunt?"

Lu Yiheng watched Qi Ning playing with the child, his eyes full of smiles.

Qi Yang poked his head out of the house, still with his impatient temper: "Why aren't you coming in? What are you chatting about outside?"

The group then went inside to eat.

After a few rounds of drinks, Qi Ning casually brought up the topic: "Brother, sister-in-law, we've settled down in the city these past few years. Let's bring Mom and Dad over sometime. We're worried about them living in the countryside."

“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Li Suying replied.

Qi Yang nodded: "Okay, then I'll go down and pick you up in a few days."

“Big brother, let me go with you to pick up Mom and Dad,” Lu Yiheng said. “I’m free these few days, and Mom and Dad will definitely need to bring a lot of things, so you won’t be able to manage them all by yourself.”

Although Qi Ning married Lu Yiheng, Lu Yiheng's parents are no longer alive, so it's not much different for him to have married into the Qi family.

In recent years, Qi Yang and Lu Yiheng's relationship has become better and better. The two clinked their glasses: "Okay, it's settled then."

A few days later, Lu Yiheng and Qi Yang went back to Shangge Village together to pick up Qi Datian and Wang Qiaofang to go to the city.

As soon as they drove into the village, the news spread and the villagers began to discuss it.

"Hey, have you heard? The eldest son of the Qi family and his son-in-law have come to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Qi Datian and bring them to the city!"

"I see it, I see it, they're coming back in a car."

"The Qi family is truly remarkable. Their eldest son and his family made a fortune running a shop in the city. Their son-in-law became an official, their daughter became a doctor, and the whole family bought a large villa in the city. Of course, they've come back home to take the old couple to enjoy their retirement."

Gu Lixuan and He Sisi, carrying their child and hoes, had just returned from the fields when they overheard the villagers discussing the matter.

The villagers looked on with envy, describing how impressive the car Qi Yang and Lu Yiheng drove and how well the Qi family lived in the city.

When Gu Lixuan and his family passed by, the villagers glanced at them and immediately fell silent.

Gu Lixuan led his family past with a sullen face. As soon as they got a little further away, the villagers started whispering among themselves again.

Although they were envious, it didn't stop them from enjoying watching the jokes.

"The Gu family and the Lu family went to the battlefield together back then, how come now one is an official and the other is a farmer?"

"Their situations are different. Yiheng did make a contribution, after all, and almost died on the battlefield."

"Hey, you can't say that. What about the girl from the Qi family and that girl from the He family? How come the girl from the Qi family was able to get into university and become a doctor? It's because she's capable!"
