Ji Chunyang was lost in thought and didn't pick up any food for a long time.

She didn't even notice that Shen Ruomei had used serving chopsticks to put food on her plate. "Oh!"

Have you gone stupid from studying too much?!

You don't need to treat the college entrance exam like a major battle!

Your grades are among the best in the entire grade.

You went to high school in Kyoto, where the learning resources are far superior to those in rural areas.

Going back to take the exam will give you a huge advantage!

Ji Chunyang finally came to his senses. "I will definitely work hard to get back to Kyoto!"

Sun Jing is lively and has a sweet tongue. In just one afternoon at home, she got to know all the family members very well.

She looked at Ji Chunyang with envy in her eyes.

This girl is so lucky.

I've met such a big family.

Song Yan never worried about Ji Chunyang's affairs; Xiao Hu took care of everything.

After dinner, Xiao Hu sought out Song Yan to discuss something.

Ji Chunyang was always among the top students at No. 1 Middle School. If she were to return to the commune high school, her grades would definitely be far ahead of others.

Maybe I can even get a ranking in the whole province during the college entrance examination.

Putting everything else aside, it's definitely easy for Hu County to be number one.

The top performer in the county comes from the commune, and both the commune and the county would likely award them recognition.

Winning first place in the city or province would be beneficial for Ji Chunyang.

But even though she hadn't studied at the commune for a single day, she still came in first place, and all the praise and attention she received would be greatly diminished.

Captain Wu's expectations for Ji Chunyang are probably quite high.

Xiao Hu sensed last time that Captain Wu was a hopeful figure, so those who left the brigade and the educated youth all had some regard for the brigade.

Chunyang, in particular, couldn't forget Captain Wu. Chunyang wasn't an ungrateful person; she still had some connection with the brigade.

With Xiao Hu protecting her, these things are no problem for her.

However, Ji Chunyang also has a disgusting relative, especially in rural areas where such kinship ties are highly valued.

To shake them off, besides your own toughness, public opinion and social recognition are also very important.

Therefore, Xiaohu thought it best to let Chunyang go back early. After studying at the commune's high school for a few months, Chunyang would be a student of the commune.

Song Yan understood after a moment's thought.

Ji Dagang is not Ji Chunyang's parent and cannot demand support from him.

But his family was poor; they were so poor that their children couldn't afford to go to school.

He cried and begged the child's aunt to help his child.

This will be enough to disgust Ji Chunyang in the future.

However, if the commune and the county repeatedly commend Ji Chunyang, they will also protect her.

This carries more weight than the brigade.

Would Ji Dagang dare to cause any more trouble?

Song Yan couldn't help but sigh. "You're so good to Chunyang, you'll definitely be a good husband in the future!"

"Second sister-in-law! That's all nonsense!"

Chunyang is too young to understand these things.

"I consider her my little sister!" Xiao Hu said firmly.

Looking at Xiao Hu's expression, Song Yan felt it wasn't fake. Didn't she know what had happened?

Chang Xiaohu felt a little uncomfortable under his second sister-in-law's gaze. "Second sister-in-law also thinks I'm right, doesn't she?"

I'll do it that way!

I'm leaving now!

Why does Chang Xiaohu seem to be fleeing in panic?

Wang Wenli is getting on in years, but she's still quite accurate in judging these things. Besides, she's at home every day.

Song Yan went straight to ask.

"Xiao Hu is good to Chun Yang; he buys all her clothes!"

Chunyang said she didn't need any pocket money, and Xiaohu gave her some too!

However, aside from these things, Xiaohu and Chunyang have a somewhat cold and distant relationship.

I think Chunyang wants to stick close to him, but Xiaohu probably wants to stay away from Chunyang.

Anyway, they don't have that clingy, young lovey-dovey vibe... Not to mention anything else, just look at Shen Ruomei and Xia Juntao... The two of them are obviously inseparable..."

What exactly is going on?
