She wanted to lose her temper, but when she saw her lucky son next to her, she had to hold it in. She couldn't lose her temper!

Thinking about this made her extremely depressed. If she hadn't been living a very comfortable life lately, she would have been vomiting blood.

Liu Shihua only went home once this semester, because the grain station was never idle, and Liu Shihua was a hard worker who was willing to put in a lot of effort.

Not only that, he also became a model for the station manager to motivate other workers, much like other people's children, making him both likable and annoying.

But there was nothing they could do; he was truly capable. So the stationmaster always liked to tell the workers, "Look at Xiaohua, he can do anything. Not only does he do well here, but he's also amazing at school. His grades... wow, I'm completely convinced!"

Yes, Station Master Li also learned by chance that his daughter and Liu Shihua's sister were classmates. After learning about the siblings' situation during their conversations, he often talked about it.

He loved reading, but unfortunately, even in the county town, not many people could get a high school diploma, let alone someone like him and his sister who both had such good grades.

After thinking about this, he started nagging his daughter, telling her to learn from the brother and sister, which made Li Qianqian very depressed.

So every time she saw Liu Shile, she would give her a resentful look. Fortunately, Liu Shile was not one to keep secrets.

After everyone gradually realized how amazing she was, whenever she went to school, people would humbly ask her how she studied.

At first, Liu Shile was speechless. She really wanted to tell her classmates that she was naturally intelligent, but in the end, considering her classmates' feelings, she didn't say it.

Instead, she shared some methods she had figured out later with them, and surprisingly, the methods she shared turned out to be quite effective.

As a result, some classmates who thought she was too unconventional began to like her, not just the male classmates, but the female classmates as well.

Because Liu Shile's aura was particularly calm, she was quite gentle as long as you didn't provoke her, and her smile was truly beautiful and sweet, the kind of sweetness that could touch your heart.

As more and more people praised her, and as her grades became outstanding, teachers and school leaders also developed a strong liking for this student.

After learning about her family situation, the school leaders unanimously decided to waive her tuition and fees. With such a promising student and her family's financial situation, how could the school not take good care of her?

Sure enough, Liu Shihua proudly shared this good news with her parents, and Liu Weisong immediately praised her.

The family used to live a good life, and the eldest son insisted that his younger brothers must study, so they sent them to school.

Life is tough for the family these days, but in just one semester, his daughter has managed to get her tuition and fees waived. How could Liu Weisong not be happy about that?

Although the tuition fees may not seem like much, the family's only source of income is their eldest daughter. In winter, the cows' milk production also decreases, leading to less income.

Especially nowadays, you can't just buy grain with money; you also need grain coupons. Although you can get grain because you have a grain ration book since you have a household registration in the town, that little bit of grain is not enough.

Although Zhang Sumei was furious, she couldn't help but think about the future, especially since that brat was still working as a temporary worker at the county grain station.

Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to buy food. With him working at the grain station, even if he's just a temporary worker, he can at least buy some food, right?

So she suppressed her displeasure, forced a smile, and asked with concern, "Will Shihua still go to work at the grain station now that she's back?"

Well, what she really wanted to know was whether this brat could keep his temporary job. With the meager monthly allowance he received, the family's life was going to get increasingly difficult.

She was so gentle that Liu Shihua didn't hide anything, and just smiled and said, "Mom, we just came back to tell the family the good news. We're going back to the county town tomorrow."

"You're all going back to the county town?" Zhang Sumei frowned when she heard this. Although she had to think about the future, she was still secretly thinking about how to make things difficult for them.

Liu Shile glanced at her and said with a smile, "Yes, Mom, although I don't have any income as an apprentice at the pharmacy, they provide me with a meal."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sumei paused for a moment, then nodded. That's right, if she doesn't eat at home, then the food can be given to Ping'er.

Thinking about this, she felt it was better that they weren't home, so her smile became a little more sincere, "That's right, then you'll be coming back for the New Year, right? Don't tell me you won't be coming home for the New Year?"

"Of course, we'll definitely come back for the New Year. By the way, I heard my older sister got engaged. Who is the man? What's his family background? Has the wedding date been set?"

All the information Liu Shihua knew about his family came from his younger sister. Some time ago, he was extremely surprised to hear from his sister that his eldest sister had gotten engaged. That's why he started asking about it as soon as he got back.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shixi blushed, wanting to say something but feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhang Sumei was quite satisfied with her eldest son's marriage. Her only complaint was that if her eldest son got married, her salary would no longer be hers.

So the wedding date was postponed until the end of next year, which is almost a year away. During this year, most of the eldest son's salary will end up in her hands.

So he laughed and said, "Your future brother-in-law is alright, he works for the transportation team. As for the wedding date, your sister is still young, and we can't bear to let her go, so we've set it for the end of next year."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua nodded subconsciously. He was also reluctant to see his older sister get married so early, but he didn't think too much about it.

Liu Shile was too lazy to expose her cheap mother. Since her older sister had no objections, she decided not to play the villain.

The family enjoyed a lively meal together, and Liu Weisong was in a good mood, drinking a few sips of wine. Unfortunately, Zhang Sumei forbade him to drink more, saying it was a waste of money.

Her words were all lamenting how difficult life was for her family, but Liu Shile ignored her completely. Liu Shihua thought for a moment, then took a few yuan and gave it to her mother.

In the county, their food was not bad. Because of her status, Grandma Wang received a lot of subsidies and could also buy some grain privately, so they did not lack food.

However, the brother and sister did not take advantage of Grandma Wang. Every two or three days a week, Liu Shile would prepare some wild game to improve their lives.

Now her farm has a lot of good stuff, poultry, aquatic products, and basically everything except what comes from the sea.

Unfortunately, she can't openly display many things, otherwise she'll have trouble explaining their origin. So she usually takes pheasants, rabbits, and occasionally wild boars.

I still remember the first time she brought back wild boar meat, it scared the old lady quite a bit. She kept asking her if she was hurt, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding no wounds.

He almost whipped her with a rattan cane, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it, only telling her not to take the risk again next time.
