Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyun's roommate Ye Junjiao also said, "That's great, I also received the poverty subsidy. I originally thought I didn't meet the criteria and wouldn't qualify for the poverty subsidy."

Gu Zhiyun and Yang Xuechang exchanged a knowing glance, smiled slightly, and neither of them spoke.

In fact, Yang Xuechang gave that poverty subsidy to Ye Junjiao.

Yang Xuechang's family was in even greater difficulty, but he felt that he had already received donations from the school and a large sum of compensation from the Zhao family, so he did not want to take up any more school resources.

That's why Ye Junjiao was able to receive this subsidy.

Imperial University provides subsidies to students from impoverished families in three tiers: six yuan per month for students from ordinary impoverished families, nine yuan per month for students from moderately impoverished families, and twelve yuan per month for students from extremely impoverished families. Zhao Yanyan received the highest tier of subsidy.

While twelve yuan a month might not seem like much to wealthy families in the city, it was a lifeline for Zhao Yanyan, who was orphaned, had an elderly grandmother, and was afflicted by a vicious brother and sister-in-law.

She carefully calculated for a long time and realized that she couldn't spend all twelve yuan in a month. She also planned to save the rest of the money. She had to repay the ten yuan to the Minister of Education. When she first arrived, Shen Jingyan used his money to buy her a lot of daily necessities, and she also had to repay that money. She also wanted to save some money to send to her grandmother back home.

As she was thinking, she picked up a piece of pork rib. Unfortunately, she was left-handed, and as she did so, her elbow was bumped by Ye Junjiao, who was sitting next to her.

"Thud—"

The spare ribs landed precisely in Ye Junjiao's bowl.

The air in the courtyard instantly became quiet.

Because Zhao Yanyan's actions were so natural, everyone assumed that she had taken the initiative to serve food to Ye Junjiao.

The two were meeting for the first time today and had barely exchanged a few words. Zhao Yanyan was also very shy, so her behavior really surprised everyone.

Zhao Yanyan's delicate face instantly turned bright red.

He stammered for a while, unsure how to explain.

Ye Junjiao smiled broadly and said, "Thank you so much, you're so kind!"

Zhao Yanyan: "..."

Sitting on her other side, Huang Yuexi leaned close to Zhao Yanyan's ear and whispered a few words mysteriously. Zhao Yanyan's face turned even redder, and she wished she could bury her head in her bowl.

A short while later, Ye Junjiao picked up a piece of beef and put it into Zhao Yanyan's bowl.

"Yanyan, you should eat more too!"

He smiled as he looked at the petite, fair-skinned, and pretty girl beside him, her bright and spirited eyes seemingly brimming with light.

He continued, "It's strange, your name sounds the same as that annoying girl's, but your name just sounds better!"

Yang Xuechang's gaze lingered on Ye Junjiao and Zhao Yanyan for a moment, then he whispered to Ye Junjiao:

"Tone it down, your intentions are too obvious."

After dinner, everyone helped tidy up the living room and the courtyard.

Shen Jingyan, Huang Yuexi and Zhao Yanyan took turns holding Tiantian for a while, and they both couldn't get enough of this cute little baby.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Shen Jingyan lightly touched Tian Tian's lips a few more times, feeding her a few drops of spiritual spring water.

She had obtained an inexhaustible supply of spiritual spring water and hundreds of high-quality seeds, and she could hardly contain her eagerness to try them out.

But she's currently busy with her schoolwork, and in a big city like Beijing, it's difficult to find suitable land to grow crops, so she feels a sense of regret about wasting resources. (www.cascoo.net)

It's the perfect time for sowing, and Shen Jingyan didn't want to miss it, so she decided to start a pilot project in the Gu family's courtyard.

The Gu family's courtyard was not large, and Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian replanted a lot of flowers and plants, so the usable space was very limited.

The place was so small that it wasn't suitable for planting corn, sweet potatoes, or potatoes. After much deliberation, Shen Jingyan finally decided to plant a few strawberry trees.

She told Gu Zhiyun about her idea of ​​growing strawberries. Gu Zhiyun thought it was just a whim of the young girl, something she was planting for fun, and didn't think much of it.

But he still took advantage of the limited time on the weekend to turn over the soil in the only open space in the courtyard.

Chen Jingyan sowed the seeds, watered them with the spiritual spring, and waited with hope for the harvest.

Before they knew it, it was June. Gu Zhiyun's classes became even busier, and the final exams were just a month away. The atmosphere of studying on campus became even stronger.

It was the weekend again, and Gu Zhiyun was going to participate in a research activity organized by Old Xu, so Shen Jingyan went home by herself.

She would go to check on the strawberries in the yard every few days to see how they were growing.

The effects of the spring water are amazing. The strawberry seedlings are growing vigorously, a lush green that is pleasing to the eye, and some seedlings have already sprouted small flower buds.

Fang Ru said that the flowers and plants in the courtyard are growing exceptionally well this year, more vibrant than last year, and many flowers have bloomed half a month earlier than usual.

She assumed it was because of the warm weather this year, but little did she know that Shen Jingyan would occasionally sprinkle a few drops of spiritual spring water on the flowers and plants in the yard.

Not only that, she also often added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the thermos, hoping that Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian would be healthier after drinking it, because their work was very heavy and tiring.

However, she didn't dare give Gu Zhiyun the spiritual spring water for the time being.
