A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Shao Moli looked down at Jiang Zheyuan's expensive handmade leather shoes and spotless trousers, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Before we enter the village, let's go to the brigade's store and buy two pairs of rain boots! You can change into them first, otherwise you won't be able to wear your shoes later."

Only after hearing Shao Moli's words did they realize that she was wearing a pair of yellowed and worn-out sneakers.

Jiang Zheyuan actually knew about the situation in Yantang Village.

However, he only remembered to bring Shao Wanwan a pair of sneakers with non-slip soles. He was so busy that he forgot about the shoes he was supposed to change into and came wearing the Italian handmade leather shoes that his uncle had given him.

If he were to meet his grandmother, it would seem as if he'd lost his mind and wasn't very bright.

He opened his backpack, took out the sneakers, and handed them to Shao Wanwan. "Wanwan, put these on first, and then I'll go to the brigade's store to buy another pair of rain boots."

Shao Wanwan looked at the sneakers in his hand; they were a niche shoe at the moment, but not cheap.

Shao Wanwan took the shoes and said, "I'll wear these shoes when we get to Grandma's house! I'll buy a pair of rain boots for now."

"Rain boots are dirt-resistant, but they're not slip-resistant," Jiang Zheyuan frowned slightly.

"It's okay, don't be so dramatic. I'll just be careful," Shao Wanwan said nonchalantly.

After they bought rain boots at the brigade store and walked along the muddy path towards their grandmother's house, Shao Wanwan finally learned what it meant to slip and slide.

Her feet seemed not to belong to her, completely out of her control.

Especially when Shao Wanwan saw the narrow ridges between the fields, which were only the width of a palm, she immediately broke out in a sweat.

If a narrow path is difficult to walk on, slipping and falling will only result in falling into the mud. But the paddy field ridge is a different story. Both sides are rice paddies, and the kind that have no rice, only silt. If you fall in, you will not only sink deep into them, but you will also become a big mud monkey.

Shao Moli grew up in Yantang Village, and she had walked these roads to and from school countless times.

This was the first time Shao Wanwan had taken such a path.

The difference became immediately apparent.

Shao Moli was completely at ease, while Shao Wanwan was like an ice skater, flailing about aimlessly, looking utterly disheveled.

Jiang Zheyuan, as a city playboy, wasn't actually that great.

But having trained in boxing for a while, his lower body was more stable, so when he saw that Shao Wanwan really couldn't walk across the muddy ridges, he said, "Wanwan, how about I carry you on my back!"

Upon hearing this, both Shao Wanwan and Shao Moli were stunned.

Although the city has progressed and become more civilized thanks to the reform and opening up, Yantang Village is definitely a corner that has been forgotten by progress.

The book mentions that when Shao Moli was a child, she saw a woman who was drowned because she refused a blind date arranged by her parents and then secretly planned to elope with her lover.

As soon as Shao Moli entered Yantang Village, she felt a sense of heaviness.

She was terrified that Shao Wanwan would do something outrageous again, but Shao Wanwan would be fine then.

It's likely that both her and her grandmother's spines were broken.

So ever since Shao Wanwan started walking unsteadily, she was especially afraid that Shao Wanwan would cling to Jiang Zheyuan like a monkey, or simply jump onto Jiang Zheyuan's back, clinging to him the whole way.

But to Shao Wanwan's complete surprise, she was completely focused on the road ahead and didn't even have time to talk, let alone be affectionate with Jiang Zheyuan.

Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Zheyuan who broke this peace.

Shao Moli felt extremely disappointed, and her face flushed.

I looked down at my old sneakers, which were covered in mud and looked very heavy.

Shao Wanwan immediately waved her hand, "I don't think you're walking very steadily. You walk carefully, and I'll be careful too, so I won't hold you back."

Shao Wanwan is currently under immense pressure. She feels that avoiding falling is much harder than getting a high score on a test.

She spread her arms out, carefully maintaining her balance.

It doesn't look like walking on paddy fields; it looks more like a novice trying to balance on a beam.

Seeing that she insisted on leaving on her own, Jiang Zheyuan didn't say anything more and could only follow behind her, hoping to lend her a hand at a crucial moment.

Shao Moli was familiar with the roads, so she led the way.

The three of them suddenly fell silent, focusing intently on the path beneath their feet, afraid of making a fool of themselves.

After finally crossing the paddy field ridges, Shao Wanwan said, "I hope someone can repair these roads in the future; that would truly benefit Yantang Village."

It was already very cold, but all three of them had sweat on their noses. Although they didn't fall, their feet were covered in mud.

Shao Wanwan's words made Shao Moli's eyes sparkle.

"Yes, the news said that if a village is to get rich, it must first build roads. When we make money in the future, we can repair the roads in Yantang Village where Grandma lives."

Jiang Zheyuan immediately added.

When Shao Moli heard the word "we," she naturally thought he was referring to Shao Wanwan and him.

Little did they know that Jiang Zheyuan was also trying to encourage Shao Moli.

He didn't want to abandon Yantang Village in this lifetime; he wanted to influence Shao Wanwan and get her involved in the development of Yantang Village.

Because her maternal grandmother was someone who shed tears for her.

The journey was like a pilgrimage for the three of them. When they arrived at the house where Grandma lived, she was already waiting at the door.

Looking at Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan, he was taken aback at first, then immediately smiled and said, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're all here, come quickly, come quickly, go sit down and rest in the main room."

As soon as Shao Moli arrived, she consciously changed into a pair of woolen slippers and then tied an apron around her neck.

Then they found two new pairs of wool slippers for Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan to change into.

Grandma prepared these slippers in advance, actually for Shao Guanghua and Zhang Suran, but they rarely come back, so these slippers were only unpacked today.

The two didn't say much, changed their shoes, and then followed their smiling grandmother into the main room.

Upon entering the main room, Shao Wanwan immediately spotted Zhang Suran's red armpit bag on the rattan rocking chair.

There was also a lingering smell of cosmetics and perfume in the room.

It seems Zhang Suran has been back for a few days.

Zhang Suran really likes to buy those extra-fragrant osmanthus perfumes, which have a very long-lasting scent and leave a fragrance wherever she goes.

The old house where the old man lived was marinated in this aroma in just a few days.

But judging from Grandma's expression, the house hadn't been this lively in a long time, and she was overjoyed.

Shao Moli, who grew up in the old house, brought out a plate of persimmons and a plate of oranges. Then she lifted the lid of the stove, added some coal, scooped out the ashes, and put a teapot on it.

"There's no heating in the main room, we rely entirely on the stove for warmth. Please sit closer, I'll put some walnuts and dates on it in a bit and make you some tea." Then she went downstairs to help her grandmother with other things.

Shao Moli is really capable; she can immediately and accurately tell which tasks need to be done by her.
