Song Yun said, "Aunt Zhang, my dream has always been to go to the best university in the country. This dream has never changed."
"But now..." Zhang Hongmei didn't finish her words. Those who understood will understand.
Song Yun smiled. "Now is now, but who knows when it will be? Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If we are always prepared, no matter when this day comes, we will be able to seize it with greater confidence, rather than watching it slip away before our eyes."
Zhang Hongmei thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. Nothing in this world remains unchanged. Aren't policies constantly adjusting? Maybe the day Song Yun longed for would really come one day?
Zhang Hongmei became excited. She grabbed her daughter's hand and urged her, "I'll find a way to send you more books and materials after I leave. Lifen, you should also review well with Xiaoyun. Don't fall behind in your studies. If you have the chance in the future, maybe you can go to college with Xiaoyun."
Yang Lifen's eyes were red. She held her mother's hand tightly and nodded vigorously. "Mom, I will. You must take good care of yourself after you die. Don't get too tired."
The mother and daughter said goodbye for a long time, neither of them was willing to let go, and only after they had to wait for a while did they say goodbye reluctantly.
Zhang Hongmei and Yang Wenbing broke up, and Yang Lifen hugged Song Yun and cried for a long time.
Song Yun comforted Yang Lifen for a while and told her about going to work.
The autumn vegetable picking only lasts for a few days, and we have to start working again after that. Fortunately, there is not much work for the farmers now. In fact, some people who earn a lot of work points have stopped working. The miscellaneous work of the farmers is left to the elderly, the weak, women and children, as well as the educated youth, who have not earned enough work points.
Yang Lifen had long been mentally prepared for the prospect of working. Although she didn't have the ideal of building a nation, she knew that being an educated youth in the countryside wasn't about enjoying a good life. "Yeah, I know."
"I'm going to start my clinic tomorrow. Come with me. It's over at the brigade headquarters. I'll take you to talk to the brigade leader and ask him to assign you some lighter work when you start. It doesn't matter if you get a few work points. We don't rely on these work points to make a living. As long as you participate in the labor, it's fine so that people won't gossip about you."
Yang Lifen's mood gradually improved, and she hugged Song Yun tightly, "Xiao Yun, you are so kind. What would I do without you?"
"You're just sweet-talking. Well, to reward you for your sweet mouth, I'll make you something delicious at noon."
The two sisters walked hand in hand into the Song family courtyard, chatting and laughing. Taking advantage of the good weather and sunshine, they hurried to take out the chestnuts and sour dates to dry them in the sun, and then took out the dried hairy yams to make polished yams. They were busy all day and didn't come until Ziyi came in the afternoon.
Song Yun noticed something was wrong as soon as she saw Ziyi. Although Ziyi disguised himself very well and looked no different from usual, Song Yun had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Ziyi's walking posture was a little different from usual.
"Ziyi, come here." Song Yun put down the work in her hands and shouted at Ziyi.
Normally, Ziyi would jump in front of Song Yun like a little rabbit, but today, Ziyi didn't move. He forced a smile and asked, "Sister, what's up? I need to do my homework."
Seeing him like this, Song Yun became more and more certain that Ziyi was hiding something. She immediately stood up and stood in front of Ziyi, staring into his eyes, "Is there something wrong with you?"
An unnatural look flashed across Ziyi's face. "No, no, what could it be? I'm going to write." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
