After a while, a familiar person, Luo Yanni, came to the bookstore.

"Sister Zhou, Sister Lin, you're all here."

The two looked at Luo Yanni.

I haven't seen her for a long time. She seems to have grown a lot taller.

In high school, I had to get up before dawn and attend classes after dark.

The physical education teachers are weak and sickly, and they take leave every day, so they hardly see the sun.

So she became a lot whiter.

Cover up.

She looks tall, thin and fair, with a gentle bookish air, and she has become much prettier.

"Yanni, why are you here? Wow, you're so beautiful."

Luo Yanni felt a little shy when she was praised for her beauty.

"Sister Zhou, Sister Lin, I got into university."

Zhou Jing and Lin Yuyao looked at each other.

Lin Yuyao: "Really? Which university?"

"Our local military academy."

Isn’t there only one local one?

"That's great, but... I heard that military training is very tough. You, a little girl, need to think carefully."

"I've thought it through. I just want to go to military school."

"What do your family members say?"

Luo Yanni smiled indifferently. "Whatever they say, I'm now a patron saint of the country. I have food and shelter provided, so I don't have to worry about money. If they want to see me, they have to write a petition, so...if they don't agree, there's nothing I can do. Just let them be. They can't control me anyway."

They both knew about the best person in her family. In the year when Luo Yanni worked here, if Zhou Jing hadn't protected her strongly, she would have been dragged back by her mother to get married in exchange for the bride price.

It was Lin Ping who told him to work hard to get into military school.

He said that in her situation, even if she went to an ordinary university, she would not be able to get rid of her parents.

It’s different in military academies. As long as you pass the exam, you won’t be afraid of them at all.

You don’t have to worry about tuition fees and living expenses.

Even if her parents wanted to cause trouble, they would have to file an application report, which would be very troublesome.

So going to military school became her goal, and after three years of hard work, she finally succeeded.

"That's great, Jenny. Congratulations."

The two of them sincerely congratulated each other.

Luo Yanni smiled, then said with some guilt: "Sister Zhou, I'll lend you some money... I might temporarily..."

What did you think?

Zhou Jing waved her hand and said, "There's no rush. I don't need your little money. Just pay me back when you have money in the future."

Although Zhou Jing's husband is not at home, he hands over all the money he earns to her, so Zhou Jing is really not short of money.

Luo Yanni didn't borrow much. She worked for a year, handed over a part of it to her mother, and kept some for herself, which she always kept with Zhou Jing.

Of course, that amount of money is not enough for three years of high school.

There was a little money missing, all of which was lent to her by Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing can be said to be the noble person in her life.

After talking about school and borrowing money, Luo Yanni asked Lin Yuyao, "Sister Lin, didn't Brother Lin come this year?"

Lin Yuyao: "He's not in Nancheng because of something. What do you want to talk to him about?"

"Well... nothing much. He just borrowed a lot of notes and materials from me a while ago, and I want to return them. By the way, when will he be back?"

"It'll probably be two years from now."

Luo Yanni was stunned. "So long? Doesn't he go to school?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the school's arrangement."

After hearing her say this, Luo Yanni stopped asking questions.

Lin Yuyao added, "If you're in a hurry..."

Luo Yanni said hurriedly, "No rush, it's always the same, let's talk about it later."

Lin Yuyao nodded, "That's fine."

After chatting for a few minutes, Luo Yanni left.

After she left, Lin Yuyao asked curiously, "When did Lin Ping lend the notebook to Yanni?"

Zhou Jing was also confused, "I don't know."

…

Lin Ping had been away for several months and finally called back.

The phone at Lin Yuyao's company can receive international calls. The company's phone has been applied for a long time to be able to receive international calls.

"Where are you now?" Lin Yuyao asked him.

"It's with Fu's sister. She brought me to the company to make this call."

"Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

Lin Ping said, "Of course I miss you. I haven't contacted my family for several months. Aren't you worried about me?"

"Tsk, you're such a grown-up, what do you have to worry about?"

"Okay, what about my parents? Did they ask about me?"

"I asked, but since I knew you were fine, I didn't say anything."

"Alas!" Lin Ping sighed, "I wanted to contact my parents, but it's really inconvenient."

Lin Yuyao, "Then let's make an appointment. I'll ask my parents to come over."

"Alright, then... let's do it this day next month."

Lin Yuyao: "Is there anything particular?"

"No, international calls are so expensive. I just made a call today. I'll have to wait a while before calling again."

That's true.

Lin Yuyao glanced at the calendar and said, "How about this? If you come one day later, it will be the weekend, so Dad can come too."

Lin Ping was stunned. "What's going on? Dad has to choose a day to answer the phone?"

"Dad is working now, and I don't have weekends off until then."

"Tsk tsk." Lin Ping muttered, "Really? You and big brother are so rich, and you still let Dad go to work."

Lin Yuyao's face changed, and she said angrily, "You little bastard, what are you talking about? Is this about money? Dad just turned fifty, he can't sit still. He went to help big brother guard the gate, and he was just hanging out with other old men. It's better than just sitting at home and staring at each other, right?"

"This kid is really something. This is the city, not the countryside. Dad is stuck in that three-bedroom apartment with my sister-in-law in the house every day. It's so inconvenient. It's different at home with my mother and sister-in-law. They're both women, so it's much easier to get along with them."

"Besides, he gets his own salary, and he and Mom spend it comfortably. This money is different from what my brother and I give him, understand?"

Lin Yuyao knew about future policies and added, "Although Dad is a janitor, he's still a regular employee. When he retires, he'll get a pension. This is his own money, different from what his children give him as a gift."

The insurance system will be out in a few years. If there is any policy of deemed payment in the future, we can make up for the shortfall.

These are the first group of people who will receive pensions, and they will definitely receive pensions in the future.

Lin Yuyao kept talking, and Lin Ping's ears were almost going numb.

Although he was persuaded by Lin Yuyao, he still muttered, "Sister, that's all I said."

"I don't like it. If you dare to say that again, I'll tell my brother and he'll beat you up."

Lin Ping's neck shrank when he heard this.

When he was a child, he was naughty and his parents would just scold him and scare him with sticks, but his eldest brother would really beat him.

His sister would also beat him, but she was weak and could only use fancy punches and kicks to hit him, but he was not afraid at all.

But the eldest brother is different. He really beats me and it hurts.

Lin Ping borrowed someone else's phone and knew that international long-distance calls were very expensive, twenty or something per minute?

I didn't dare say much, and hung up after chatting for a few more sentences.
