Chapter Fifteen: Determination

An Songyu got everything done in just one morning.

At noon, she used her student card to have a long-awaited lunch at the school cafeteria.

Compared to the taste I remember.

An Songyu was even more struck by the prices at that time.

A meat dish, a vegetable dish, a free seaweed and egg drop soup, and plenty of white rice, all for just 4.5 yuan.

And in terms of taste, it's not particularly bad.

Of course, An Songyu specifically chose the third canteen, which she had fond memories of.

She didn't see the spicy diced chicken that she wanted to eat the most.

I don't know if her memory is wrong.

It's still that same chef from Sichuan Province, who hasn't yet started working in the cafeteria at Nanshi University.

Upon careful thought, An Songyu vaguely remembered it as well.

It seems that this dish can only be eaten before she graduates.

Earlier, the third canteen, which was built last, actually caused quite a few problems.

It was only after the school made some changes that it became the most popular cafeteria among students.

I finished the meal with a slight sense of regret.

An Songyu left the school before the rest of the younger students arrived.

Nanshi University is located in the central urban area of ​​Nanshi City.

Not long after leaving the school, you'll find yourself in a bustling market street.

An Songyu was not in a hurry to go back.

Besides bringing my friend her favorite snacks, I also brought some for Sister Xia and my colleague who was supposed to be off today, as a thank you gift.

In addition, An Songyu also made sure to bring extra so that he could share it with his colleagues later.

Along the way, An Songyu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Nanshi, which was completely different from what it was twenty years later.

To be honest, An Songyu actually knows more about Nanshi than Shuncheng.

After all, according to the original development plan...

After a three-month internship, she will be fortunate enough to join the Nanshi Hotel at the campus recruitment fair.

Then he settled down and started a family in Nanshi.

Thinking of this, An Songyu suddenly realized something.

Since her rebirth, it seems she has never contacted her husband.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems he's currently doing an internship as well.

And the internship location is in another city?

But after such a long time, An Songyu still couldn't quite remember the exact location.

Fortunately, An Songyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it, An Songyu couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.

Having lived for over twenty years, An Songyu was already used to such farewells.

After all, it all started with the major that Chien Tzu-yu chose.

This signifies that their future life together will inevitably involve less time spent together.

Over the course of twenty years, An Songyu had actually been frustrated by this more than once.

I've thought about it countless times.

If she could do it all over again, she probably would rather have never met him.

But now there really is a chance to start over.

An Songyu carefully considered her current feelings, and it seemed... she had completely abandoned that thought?

Sitting on the bus back to Shuncheng.

Looking at the city outside, which was still quite backward compared to twenty years later, An Songyu began to think very seriously.

Perhaps, if she could do it all over again, she would have other ways to make their lives different.

By the time An Songyu got home, it was almost dinnertime.

Seeing An Songyu carrying back large and small bags, Bi Lizhu, who had been worrying about money recently, immediately looked rather unpleasant.

An Jianping didn't think much of it; he had just spoken to the village chief, Jiang Wenlin, on the phone.

He has already started inquiring about the loan.

However, the amount of the loan was not satisfactory to Jiang Jianping.

This had never happened in the village before.

Even banks are extremely cautious when handling such transactions.

Jiang Wenlin then asked An Jianping if he wanted to go and handle it.

If you don't want to go and apply, you can actually ask at other banks and branches.

In addition, he promised to continue to inquire about policy benefits and other matters for An Jianping.

After all, these mulberry fields and fishponds in Jiangcun are abandoned.

This is not only a major concern for Jiangcun, but also a worry for many places in Rongdi and even Shuncheng.

If An Jianping can really revitalize them through contracting.

I believe it will still receive a lot of support.

Most importantly, this applies not only to Jiangcun, but also to all the other villages in Shuncheng.

To date, there are not many people interested in contracting these remote mulberry fields and fish ponds.

An Jianping himself was an employee of the silk weaving factory.

In recent years, he has been helping the village's silkworm breeding business, which probably gives the leaders above more confidence in him.

This outcome was exceptionally advantageous for An Jianping.

But he knew his own situation; when he initially planned to return to the village, he wasn't aiming to actually develop this business.

But now, it's not just people who have hope for him.

They even went to great lengths for this.

For a moment, An Jianping even had the impulse to refuse Jiang Wenlin's kind offer.

But if you think about it carefully, let's not even talk about whether Jiang Wenlin will listen to his refusal.

Is he really willing to refuse now?

Looking at the worry that had never appeared on her father's face before.

An Songyu, who had just put the things down, began to doubt for the first time whether her actions were correct.

“Then let’s really do it this way from now on!” Bi Lizhu looked at her husband and said seriously.

An Songyu and the others were slightly taken aback, but then quickly realized what was happening.

Yes, they were just thinking about whether they should do the things that needed to be done before the demolition.

But they never thought about what would happen after the demolition!

Regardless of their original intentions this time.

But if, over the next few months, it proves that this is indeed worthwhile to do.

After receiving the compensation for the demolition, they were not only able to continue their work.

I won't even have to worry about money like I did this time.

"That's true!" An Jianping looked at his unusually serious wife and felt somewhat relieved.

“If that’s the case, then the mulberry fields and fishponds in Jiangcun, even if the time is short, will need to be properly managed and operated.” An Songlin also made serious plans.

"This way, we'll really be able to continue doing this, and we'll be more experienced."

An Songyu and the other person nodded in agreement.

And they all began to seriously inquire about the situation in Jiangcun.

Of the family, only An Songlin and An Jianping recently returned to Jiangcun.

When it comes to the situation in Jiangcun, the two of them are indeed more aware of it than anyone else.

Even so, the two sisters secretly decided that they would definitely visit Jiangcun more often when they had their next holiday.

And then we finally get another holiday.

An Songyu stood in front of her own homestead, looking incredulously at the large machine wielding a shovel and clearing the land.

"Ah Yu, you have the day off today?" Yuan Qionghua, who came over from next door, quickly greeted her.

Upon hearing the voice, An Songyu quickly greeted, "Auntie, are you home today?"

"Yes! Your family and your uncle's family started building houses at the same time, and no one was supervising your family's work."

"I just happened to have some free time, so I was helping out at home."

"Thank you, Auntie!" An Songyu quickly expressed her gratitude.
