As for our little one, Xiao Niannian, he's sleeping soundly right now, snuggling in his mother's arms.

Occasionally, it will blow a bubble, which is so cute that it melts Wang Hongli's heart.

The Song family in the commune knew that Wang Hongli had given birth to a boy who had been admitted to Peking University, but they didn't dare to come out of their homes.

The neighbors were full of sarcasm, saying things like, "Look at Wang Hongli, she gave birth to a boy who got into the best university in our country. She's really proud of herself now."

“Who says otherwise!” Aunt He, Song’s neighbor, looked at the Song family’s gate with a mocking expression.

"Look how well she remarried; her family supports her studies. That's something not every family can do."

“That’s right! As the old saying goes, if you treat a blessed person well, you’ll see a different kind of return.” Aunt He was the one who helped Wang Hongli the most, and this was her way of repaying the injustice.

"Look at how their family treated Wang Hongli. Such a good girl was ruined."

My body looked so bad back then, and it was my in-laws who helped me find a doctor to treat me.

Look at them now, they have a child, and it's a boy!

She even got into university, which means she'll definitely have a secure job.

"This guy will have a much better salary, benefits, and job than any of us." Aunt Liu chimed in, she couldn't stand people like the Song family.

They're so hypocritical. Look at that beautiful girl back then, she's only been married into their family for a few years, and they've ruined her like that.

The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Song, only then heard what their neighbors were saying, and they were filled with shame.

During their time back, the neighbors treated them coldly, and their daughter couldn't bear the hardship and married someone from the farm.

The two of them were left at home. Since they had no jobs, they could only try to help with chores to supplement the family income and alleviate their financial burden.

They used to have jobs, but now they can only try to make a living.

They're living such comfortable lives that they haven't even thought about how they got through those days.

The elderly couple had no time to regret it; all they could do was complain that they had ruined their good life.

Wang Hongli had no idea that the neighbors who had helped the Song family in the past were now silently condemning the elderly couple.

To vent her anger back then, I wanted to disgust the old couple.

Wang Hongli and Zehui are now sleeping peacefully in the train carriage with their child.

The man next to them kept an eye on things the whole time, and the family lived happily ever after.

Yang Weimin looked at his wife with affection, but inwardly he was thinking, what did he do to deserve such a smart wife?

Although my first marriage was terrible, this time God is on my side.

They gave him such a wonderful wife—smart, beautiful, and studious.

His wife has been admitted to university, and he needs to work hard too; he can't just stay the same.

Last year's trip to Beicheng had a great impact on him, and he worked hard to acquire medicinal herbs for Song Yining.

The fact that she could say those things to them means that things will change in the future.

This trip is just to go there first and broaden my horizons.

When my second brother came back, he told them about what was happening outside. The South is changing now.

Yang Weimin sat by his wife's bedside all night, watching over the safety of the mother and child.

The night passed peacefully, and they prepared dry rations before leaving.

After getting hot water, everyone made do with the dry rations they had been given.

Since we're all women, it would be convenient for Wang Hongli to breastfeed her child, which was something we already thought of when we came back.

She even prepared a bed sheet to cover her lower bunk.

This also makes it easier to breastfeed the baby. The baby has always been very obedient, sleeping and eating at the same time.

They didn't make a fuss at all. After eating and cleaning up, the educated youth would go to bed one by one.

Fortunately, the people on the buses that recently encouraged educated youth to return to the city were generally well-behaved.

Nothing strange happened; I just watched as a few young girls sat down.

People around them were still very curious, knowing that they had bought sleeper berths.

No one was curious about what the four male educated youths had gone to do.

Knowing that they were freshmen who had been admitted to university, everyone around them looked at them with admiration.

These people all have golden jobs right after graduation; who wouldn't envy them?

The man and woman found that they felt much more comfortable sleeping together in this way.

They used to travel in hard-seat trains when they went to the countryside, so this arrangement allowed everyone to get a better rest.

The three-day train journey passed slowly, and we were almost at Beijing Railway Station.

Yu Cheng and his three companions had arrived earlier, and Lian Aihong and the others had already packed their luggage.

Wang Hongli was still bundled up tightly, while Yang Weimin carried their luggage.

Grandma Yang and Wang Hongli supported each other, while Wang's mother carried the child and walked out with the female educated youth.

Today, they happened to have a car at home, so they all sat in the truck and headed towards Ningyuan.

All the rooms here have been occupied; you can simply bring your belongings and move in.

When they arrived at Ningyuan, they looked at the surrounding buildings.

Everyone exclaimed how wonderful this place was, even though their families all lived in the city.

However, there is still a difference. It exudes a sense of antiquity, and such houses were once only inhabited by wealthy people or officials.

The landscape inside the courtyard, even though it's bare and spring hasn't arrived yet.

It exudes a sense of antiquity, understated elegance, and luxury; every pavilion, terrace, and tree is meticulously designed.

Each courtyard is different, and looking at the scenery outside, everyone feels like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Looking around curiously, everyone couldn't help but admire how wonderful the houses were.

Although there weren't many flowers blooming outside, everyone was still amazed by the view from the garden.

After the rooms were arranged, the group of more than a dozen people each took their luggage and went to their rooms.

After several days on the train, everyone was a bit complaining, so they took the time to wash up.

The weather in Beijing has been quite cold lately, so everyone is gathered in one courtyard.

It's more convenient to live together. After everyone settled in, we went to the front yard for dinner.

Song Yining prepared noodles for them; after traveling for several days, they enjoyed the warm meals.

They felt much more at ease, and no one stood on ceremony. Song Yining's care for them was unparalleled.

Song Yining also knew their individual circumstances; most of those who could go to the countryside were children whose families had no other choice or who were forced to go.

Over the years, they have rarely received packages from home; it's always their families who have been intentionally or unintentionally helping them out.

These people all chose Beicheng for the exam, which is also an attempt to escape their original families.

Everyone ate their fill and their stomachs felt warm after the meal.

She felt much better all over, and after watching everyone finish their meal, Song Yining didn't chat with them anymore.

"Don't say anything now, go get some sleep, and we'll talk again tomorrow."

They all looked exhausted, even while sleeping in their sleeper berths.

However, the train keeps churning and rattling for days, so you don't get much rest.
