Su Li smiled and said, "I'm fine. This time I came back and thought about how bumpy the roads in our village are, so I decided to come back and help repair them. I plan to donate all the money I've earned this year to help fix the roads in our village. As the saying goes, 'To get rich, build roads first.'"

Upon hearing this, the people on the oxcart excitedly praised Su Li, saying, "Su, you're truly a lucky star for our village! Of all the educated youth, only you still remember us."

"That's right, Su, the educated youth, is truly capable. Not only did she get into university, but she also earned money, and now she's even going so far as to build roads for our village. Our village will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives for such a great kindness."

"Su, the educated youth, is the most beautiful, capable, and loyal person I have ever met. She will surely be blessed with great fortune in the future."

...

When Su Li arrived at Lijiatun, the happiest people were the brigade leader and his wife.

When she arrived, she went straight to the brigade leader, while the others on the oxcart had originally planned to join in the fun.

After all, it's such an exciting thing that college students are going back to their village and building roads for them.

Old Li chased them all back.

The courtyard of the brigade leader's house was open, and Su Li walked straight in.

Aunt Li was doing needlework in the yard when she heard footsteps and hurriedly looked up.

She was surprised to see Su Li at a glance. She thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes again.

Su Li was still standing there smiling at her. She was sure she wasn't seeing things, so she hurriedly put the needle and thread down on the stool.

Su Li smiled and said, "Auntie."

Aunt Li stepped forward and grabbed her arm; "It really is you! I thought I was getting old and my eyesight was failing me."

"Auntie, it's me. I came back this time to see you and then to fix the road in our village."

Aunt Li was incredibly excited upon hearing this; "Ah Li, are you serious?"

Su Li nodded: "Of course it's true."

Aunt Li slapped her thigh excitedly, "If your uncle knew about this, he would be overjoyed."

"What is it?" The team leader had just returned from the fields.

Su Li turned around, and the captain was also a little excited; "Su Li? Why are you back?"

Aunt Li quickly added to her husband, "Ali said she came back this time to help repair the road in our village."

Upon hearing this, the captain's face lit up with joy; "I knew it, I knew you, Su Li, were different from others."

Back then, he felt that Su Li was different from other educated youth; she was not only generous but also knew how to conduct herself and get things done.

He thought that was the last time they would see each other, but he never expected that she would come back this time.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Su Li really came back and even wanted to help their village repair roads.

This is absolutely a noble cause!

The brigade leader said to his wife, "Quick, old woman, go and kill our chickens."

Su Li smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no need for that."

But Aunt Li had already quickly run to the backyard to catch chickens.

The captain chuckled and said, "Of course, of course. Have lunch here today, don't be shy."

At noon, Aunt Li cooked a big table of dishes. Su Li looked at the three of them and asked with a smile, "Uncle, where are Xiao Hua and the others?"

"Xiaohua is pregnant and said she's going back to her parents' house for a couple of days. She probably won't be back until tomorrow. Our eldest grandson is also staying with his father in town, so your uncle and I have some free time now."

The three of them ate and chatted, and didn't feel awkward at all.

After the meal, Su Li took some money out of her bag and handed it to the brigade leader; "Please keep this money for now. Arrange for someone to repair the road from the school to the village, so it will be easier for the children to get to school. If you need more, I have more here. Just let me know."

The brigade leader chuckled and said, "Su Li, you're a good girl. You spend all the money you earn on our village. Don't worry, the whole village will be grateful for your kindness. Stay at our house for the next few days; I'll have your aunt prepare a clean room for you later."

Su Li didn't want to live with them, as it would make many things inconvenient for her.

So he said to the captain, "Uncle, I'm thinking of staying in the same apartment I rented before."

The captain also knew that Su Li might feel uncomfortable living with them.

So she didn't insist, only saying, "Alright, I'll have your aunt tidy up the place later and bring you two quilts."

Su Li smiled and nodded.

The captain hesitated for a moment before asking, "How has Gou Sheng been in Beijing this past year?"

"He's very good; his academic performance is outstanding, ranking first in the entire school."

Upon hearing this, the captain couldn't suppress his smile; "Good, good, all your effort wasn't in vain, Gou Sheng is a good man."

Su Li was truly a lucky star in their village. He knew all too well what kind of life Gou Sheng had lived in the village back then.

If it weren't for Su Li, he would have to go hungry every day, let alone go to school. She is truly a person who values ​​loyalty and affection.

He said he would take Gousheng to Beijing, but unexpectedly, he actually did take him there in the end.

After this, Gou Sheng, following Su Li, should have a pretty good life. It's estimated that their village will have another remarkable figure in the future.

Back when Su Li left, Gou Sheng endured the ridicule of the village, but his grades improved by leaps and bounds. He was a resilient child.

In the afternoon, Aunt Li helped Su Li tidy up the house she used to live in.

The next morning, the brigade leader held a meeting in the village, and Su Li was also present.

Actually, thanks to the word spread by the aunties who rode in the oxcart yesterday, everyone already knows what's going to be announced today.

The community members looked at Su Li with shining eyes, but there were also many who were filled with jealousy and envy.

Lin Zhaodi originally planned to trick Su Jiaojiao into staying, but she failed and ended up being left in the village herself.

At this moment, he saw Su Li on the stage with her eyes red with jealousy.

The brigade leader's voice rang out from the stage: "I've gathered everyone here today to tell you some good news. Standing next to me is Su, the educated youth you all know. Su is here to help us repair the road. It will be much more convenient for everyone to go to town and for the children to go to school. Let's give Su a warm round of applause to thank him."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. While everyone was having a great time, Xie Feng and Su Jiaojiao had secretly made their way from the village path into the mountains.

He originally didn't want to bring Su Jiaojiao, that crazy woman, along, but the person who claimed to be the author said that if he didn't want to rescue Su Jiaojiao, he would have to bring her along.

It's better to not even try to find out where the treasure is.

In the end, he compromised.

"Xie Feng, I can't walk anymore, can I rest for a bit?"

Xie Feng's face was full of disgust; "Rest? Do you think I don't want to? If I don't go over there and let Su Li get there first, you can expect to spend the rest of your life in a mental hospital!"
