"OK."

Grandpa Zhang readily agreed, "How much more money do you need? I'll make it up to you later."

"Need not."

Lin Jingyu refused directly, "Grandpa, you know I have money. Just consider it as my way of showing filial piety to you and Grandma."

Madam Zhang smiled kindly and said, "You child, aren't you being taken advantage of?"

"What loss are we going to suffer? We're all on the same side."

Lin Jingyu didn't care at all, "It's pointless for family members to be too calculating; it hurts the relationship."

"If you don't want to make up for it, then don't."

Madam Zhang gently patted the back of her hand, "When you get married, we will give you a generous dowry."

"Okay, I know Grandma loves me the most."

Lin Jingyu readily agreed.

"Shameless."

Zhang Wenxi made a face at her cousin, "The man who wants to marry you hasn't even appeared yet, and you're already thinking about your dowry. Aren't you ashamed!"

"Tch, you're just jealous."

Lin Jingyu stared at the boy and sneered, "Believe it or not, when you get married, I'll make you prepare the betrothal gifts all by yourself?"

"Why?"

Zhang Wenxi immediately objected, yelling at her, "You expect a generous dowry when you get married, but I have to prepare the betrothal gifts all by myself when I get married. Isn't that too much of a rip-off?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm bullying you."

Lin Jingyu raised her chin and said, "I'm telling you to make some money, so you don't end up not even able to support your own wife. That would be truly shameful, don't you understand?"

"Don't look down on others."

Zhang Wenxi was full of resentment. "How do you know I can't afford to support a wife? Just you wait and see. I'll definitely earn more money than you in the future."

"Okay, I'm waiting!"

"I'm waiting for your envious and jealous look."

"I think you're still dreaming!"

...

The siblings started bickering, and the two elders listened with amusement.

The elderly love watching the younger generation bicker and make noise; it makes them very happy.

Time flies.

Upon receiving the message from above, Old Master Peng knew he had to return to Beijing first.

Su Jingtian went back with him.

"He's going back with you?"

Lin Jingyu asked the person in front of her, "Do you have a job now?"

"Yes."

Yang Shujue nodded. "He's going to work at the military hospital and will be reporting for duty next month, so he's going back with Grandpa Peng first."

"Good thing."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I heard that some of the educated youth from Shuibu Village have returned to the city. The rest of them should only be able to leave through the college entrance examination."

"It seems that Wang Hongliang and Zhu Haofeng went back."

Yang Shujue said, "I heard that their family members found jobs, so they asked them to go back."

"That's a good thing, but no one can guarantee that they'll get into university."

Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Now that they have found stable jobs, it is the most normal thing for them to go back first."

"Yes, if we don't leave now, nobody knows if we'll have another chance."

Yang Shujue added, "By the way, did you know that the village chief's eldest son has been transferred to work in the county town?"

"The village chief will definitely be very happy to be able to work in the county town."

Lin Jingyu thought for a moment and then said, "I think there must have been too many things happening in Shuibu Village that the county leaders have all taken notice of."

Since Liu Hansheng works in the town's commune, it would be easy for the higher-ups to transfer him.

"Speaking of which, the village chief's son has had some luck in officialdom."

Yang Shujue joked, then added, "You probably don't know who the brigade leader of Shuibu Village is, do you?"

"It must be someone from the Zhang family."

Peng Shiyu said, "The village chief and the accountant are both from the Liu family, so the Zhang family definitely won't want to give up the position of brigade leader again."

“That’s right, it seems Shiyu knows this too.”

Yang Shujue nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "The position of Captain Zhang will still be held by a member of the Zhang family."

I heard that Zhang Zhiming, that idiot, is still causing trouble. He even claimed that the Zhang family stole his father's position, which has caused quite a stir.

I heard he almost got his leg broken; he deserved it.

"Zhang Zhiming is getting more and more foolish."

Peng Shiyu scoffed and looked at the person who hadn't spoken until now, "Susu, it's a good thing you didn't agree to remarry him, otherwise you wouldn't have a good life."

"Whether he's good or bad, it's none of my business."

Shen Susu said softly, clearly having completely let go of the people and things from the past.

They chatted for a while longer.

Peng Shiyu suggested visiting Liu Xiuying, who was pregnant.

Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to take a walk.

A group of people went out for a walk.

As the college entrance examination draws closer, the group is all busy doing various practice questions in their study rooms.

Although Lin Jingyu had attended university, she dared not slack off in this year's college entrance examination.

She wants to get into university with the best grades.

The college entrance examination in Chunnan County will be held from November 28th to 30th.

Number 27.

He Zhenhua and his family of three, along with Yu Guohai, arrived.

I have an exam tomorrow.

They moved to Yang Shujue's house to stay temporarily.

It's much easier than them running around every day.

Because of tomorrow's exam, everyone only met briefly, talked for a while, and then went their separate ways.

the next day.

The educated youth from every village came.

In addition to local high school students, countless people have access to college entrance examination venues.

Lin Jingyu and others also entered the examination room.

There were no parents seeing them off, and no strange slogans.

At this time, young people rely solely on their own hard work; their parents don't have time to manage these matters.
