Chapter 18 The Person Shen Yongshan Likes

"Brother Yongshan, are you tired of reviewing? I made a pair of shoes for you. Come and try them on to see if they fit you well?" As soon as Ye Lingling entered the door, she took out the cloth shoes she had made from her arms and handed them to Shen Yongshan with a happy face.

Shen Yongshan looked at the shoes in Ye Lingling's hand and felt even more uncomfortable.

He didn't expect that Ye Lingling would come just after he agreed to his parents' request.

Facing the person he likes, he can't give her a legitimate status, but he has to please another woman whom he hates. This is simply a torture for him.

Shen Yongshan didn't even dare to look Ye Lingling in the eye. "I have shoes to wear. You don't have to work so hard to make shoes for me."

"That's different. I made this piece by piece, stitch by stitch. Try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll take it to you and modify it."

Ye Lingling asked Shen Yongshan to sit on the chair and she squatted down to take off Shen Yongshan's shoes.

"Brother Yongshan, the shoes on your feet are so nice. Where did you buy them?" Only then did Ye Lingling see that Shen Yongshan was wearing a pair of new shoes, a pair of sneakers that looked very expensive.

When Shen Yongshan heard Ye Lingling's words, he saw the shoes on his feet and his sense of guilt deepened.

"This... this was given to me by a classmate. He said the ones he bought were too big and didn't fit, so he gave it to me." Shen Yongshan said guiltily.

In fact, these shoes were a gift given to him by Su Ying when she first met him.

At that time, he was wearing cloth shoes with many patches on them. The uppers were worn out in several places. Even if they were patched, they could not be worn at all.

Especially when it rains, it feels like you are not wearing anything at all, which is really painful.

So Su Ying went to the department store and bought him a pair of new sneakers according to his shoe size. The pair of sneakers cost more than 20 yuan, and Su Ying used the pocket money she had saved for a long time to buy them.

At first, Shen Yongshan refused to take it, but finally, it rained and he had no choice but to accept it.

But even so, he still said that he would pay her back later.

Several months have passed, and let alone paying back the debt, he doesn't even have enough money for his own food.

All the money he earned at the machinery factory was spent on his family. He also had to review and buy materials, so he had no extra money at all.

"Then your classmates are so nice to you." Ye Lingling said with envy.

She also wore cloth shoes, and she envied the leather shoes worn by city people every time she saw them. When would she be able to wear beautiful skirts and leather shoes?

Shen Yongshan took off his shoes and threw them on the ground, then put on the new shoes that Ye Lingling made for him.

"It's a good fit. Thank you, Lingling. I will never let you down." Shen Yongshan said this, and his heart became more determined. He must get into university to repay Ye Lingling who was so good to him.

What Ye Lingling wanted was exactly what Shen Yongshan said. She pretended to be very touched on her face, without asking for anything in return, but she felt very proud in her heart.

To say that she liked Shen Yongshan, it wasn't that she liked him very much. She just thought he was a potential stock. If he could be admitted to university, she could go to the big city with him to see the world instead of staying in such a small mountain village forever.

"Brother Yongshan, as long as you're okay, I'll do anything for you. I've even made your favorite pickled peppers. Take them later. If you get hungry while reviewing, you can eat them with steamed buns."

Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Shen Yongshan was deeply moved.

"Lingling, you...you're so good to me. I don't know how to repay you."

"What's the point of not repaying me? The most important thing for you right now is to study hard and try to get into university next year, so that you can take me to a big city."

After Ye Lingling finished speaking, she reached out and hugged Shen Yongshan's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and looked very happy.

"Don't worry, I will be admitted to university." Shen Yongshanfeng said with determination.

"Brother, you don't want these shoes anymore, so give them to me. I don't have any shoes to wear." At this time, Shen Xiaofei saw the sneakers thrown on the ground by Shen Yongshan, took them with a look of joy, and couldn't wait to put them on his feet.

He was not as tall as Shen Yongshan, and his sneakers did not fit his feet well and were a little big, but he did not mind.

Wearing these shoes is a good way to show off to his friends, as they will never be able to afford these shoes in their lifetime.

"No, I borrowed these shoes and need to return them."

Shen Yongshan didn't have the money to return to Su Ying, so he thought about whether he could exchange the shoes for some money and return them to her when he had money.

He didn't want to owe Su Ying anything.

He wears this pair of shoes very carefully and polishes them almost every day. Although they are still worn out, they should still be sellable.

Of course Shen Xiaofei would not agree when he heard this. If he liked the shoes, they would be his.

Besides, such nice shoes were obviously bought for him by Su Ying. Even if he didn’t want them, she could at least consider her younger brother.

"I'm not short of money to buy you shoes, so why should I be short of your pair of shoes? Brother, if you don't want them, I will. I've already worn these shoes, so they're mine. You can wear your rags if you want, but I'll wear these sneakers."

After Shen Xiaofei finished speaking, he ran out without caring about Shen Yongshan.

Seeing this, Liu Xicui couldn't help but say to Shen Yongshan: "Isn't it just a pair of shoes? How much can it be worth? If you have nothing to do, go back and review, and don't waste your time here with Lingling."

Although Liu Xicui did not tell Ye Lingling about the matter between Shen Yongshan and Su Ying in front of her, her words meant that Shen Yongshan should go find Su Ying as soon as possible.

Ye Lingling didn't want to disturb Shen Yongshan's review any longer, so she had to leave first.

Shen Yongshan tidied up at home, put on the new shoes Ye Lingling made for him, and went back to review.

-

After Su Ying's family finished their meal, Lin Nan and Su Yi left.

Su Ying had nothing to do at home, so she went to the Xinhua Bookstore and bought some information.

Her family had been urging her to study for the college entrance exam next year, but Su Ying refused to do so.

Her score is still far from the college entrance examination score. Even if she studies for a year, it will probably remain the same.

So she had no hope for herself at all.

Even though her family tried their best to persuade her to go to college, they still couldn't persuade her, and in the end she had to give up.

But now she has figured it out. College students in the future will be very popular, especially those of their generation. No matter which university they go to, they have reaped the benefits of the times and have a bright future.

No wonder Shen Yongshan insisted on taking the college entrance examination. He also saw this point.

Apart from anything else, just his perseverance and persistence are not easy to come by.

Su Ying hasn't thought about taking the college entrance exam yet. After all, she was pregnant with Jiang Yue's child that night.

It was too hard for her to prepare for the college entrance exam while pregnant. Not only would she not be able to eat or sleep well, but the baby would also be affected.

She didn't keep the child in her previous life, so she must protect him this time.
