"Your elder brother and the girl are not engaged yet, and they are already having conflicts now. Maybe it won't work out. Don't think too much about other things for now." Yun Huaying advised.
Jiang Yuan nodded and advised, "Yes, Lin Shan, don't think too much about it. Your family hasn't found you a job yet anyway. Just live here peacefully and save some money. If your parents find you a job in the future, even if your two sisters-in-law have objections, you can pay them back yourself and you can stand up straight in front of them."
"Jiang Yuan, what you said makes sense. I used the money I earned to get a job, and I lived at home before I got married. They have no right to say they despise me."
Lin Shan quickly came to her senses and counted the money she had. The two royalties added up to nearly 500 yuan. Adding to the money her parents and brothers had given her before, she had nearly 600 yuan left, which was barely enough to buy a job in a state-owned factory.
"Okay, don't think about it now. Let's spend more time making money and reading. I have received accurate information from Han Zheng's comrades-in-arms that the college entrance examination will definitely be resumed. If there is no policy next year, it will definitely be resumed the year after." With the information provided by Song Nanfeng, Yun Huaying can tell them the exact answer.
"Really?" Their eyes lit up.
"Really." Yun Huaying curled her lips slightly, "Lin Shan, you've met his comrade-in-arms. Before we came to the countryside, I had dinner with them at the Jing County State-Owned Restaurant, and you greeted him."
Lin Shan still had some impression of that person. She leaned forward and asked excitedly, "Huaying, is that comrade's information credible?"
"It's credible. I heard from Han Zheng that his family is from Kyoto, a military and political family, and all his elders and relatives are high-ranking leaders."
Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up when she heard about the other party's family background. "That means the source of this information is very accurate. The college entrance examination will definitely be resumed, and we will have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination and go to university."
"Yeah." Yun Huaying nodded.
"It's either next year or the year after."
Lin Shan's expression instantly became excited, and she danced with joy. "If I can get into university, our household registration can be transferred back to the city, and I won't have to worry about my family finding a job for me."
"I think it's unlikely to happen next year, maybe the year after."
Yun Huaying was certain that the college entrance examination would be resumed the year after next, but if she said it now, they wouldn't believe her, and she couldn't find a reason to explain it.
"The year after next will be great too. We should review our textbooks carefully in these two years, find some other books to read, and earn some more money here. We will definitely spend a lot when we go to college in the future, so it's always good to save some money." Jiang Yuan is already looking forward to a wonderful campus life and is also making plans for the future.
"Let's prepare for the exam together, work hard together, and strive to get into the same university in the future." Lin Shan said with a smile.
Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly. She liked them both very much and was as close to them as sisters. She didn't want to be separated from these two good sisters. "Even if we can't get into the same school, we have to get into the same city and see each other often in the future."
After talking to them for a while, Yun Huaying put all the books and other things into the cabinet, took out some candies and cakes brought back from Jinling for them to eat, and gave each of them a woolen vest.
"Huaying, this dress must be expensive." Lin Shan knew it was not cheap just by the touch.
The sweaters they both wore were the same style, just in different colors. Jiang Yuan had never worn such fine clothes before, so she just touched it and returned it to her: "Yun Huaying, this dress is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"I bought this especially for you, keep it."
Yun Huaying stuffed the things into their hands and went back into the house. "You guys can start knitting sweaters. I'm still feeling a little unwell, so I'm going back to bed first."
After she returned to her room, Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed: "Lin Shan, I seem to have received a lot of gifts from Yun Huaying, and I don't have anything good to give her in return."
"Huaying is like this. She is very generous to those she is close to, and she won't take back anything she gives away."
Lin Shan understood her personality. She had actually received quite a few gifts, and now that she had some money, she wanted to give her some in return. She discussed with Jiang Yuan, "Let's go to the county after the autumn harvest. Huaying likes reading and collecting stamps. We can go to the Xinhua Bookstore and buy some books and stamps for her. She's been working very hard out there lately. Let's go buy some chicken and duck eggs from the neighbors tomorrow and stew them for her to supplement her nutrition."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan responded.
Yun Huaying simply washed up and lay down. In fact, she didn't go to sleep immediately, but slipped into the space and got busy.
These days on the train, I can only find time to enter the space when I go to the toilet. The ripe grains and fruits have piled up into mountains, and the chickens, ducks and rabbits are multiplying very quickly. The simple fences I made before can hardly keep them in.
The space contained various convenient small machines that had been stockpiled in the previous life. It took two or three hours to process forty or fifty chickens and ducks. This batch of goods was intended to be used to make cured meats, and would be sent to the county town to be sold to the little ghost in a few days.
As for the cleaned-up chicken and duck offal, they were all given to the gray wolf mother and son to eat.
After finishing these, she picked all the ripe fruits and put them into bags. She also harvested all the medicinal herbs and processed them with advanced automated machines for Chinese medicinal herbs. Those that she planned to sell were packed in sacks, and the others were produced into various Chinese patent medicines and temporarily stored in the space warehouse. When the market is opened up in the future, she will set up a pharmaceutical factory to sell these goods on the market.
When she came out of the space, Lin Shan and the others were still sitting in the living room knitting sweaters. She had just drunk a packet of cold medicine in the space and had a little sweat. She was also sleepy at this time, so she curled up in the quilt and slowly fell asleep.
She slept very soundly, and when she woke up it was already dawn.
Lin Shan and her husband got up on time and had already prepared breakfast. They sat at the table to eat. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, they didn't call her.
When Yun Huaying came out yawning, Lin Shan smiled and said, "Huaying, are you feeling better?"
"alright."
Yun Huaying now felt relaxed all over, her mental and physical strength had recovered. She planned to go to work with them today, so she hurried to get some water and wash up.
When Han Zheng came down with two boiled eggs, Yun Huaying had just finished washing up. Seeing that her face was rosy and her expression was no longer as haggard as yesterday, he felt relieved and handed the eggs to her to eat. "Huaying, you rest at home for another day. I'll help you with your shift today."
"No, I've recovered and can go to work."
Yun Huaying is not a pampered person. She took a ten-day leave. If she didn't go to work when she came back, the gossips in the team would definitely gossip about her behind her back. She didn't want to make things difficult for the village cadres.
"Today's work is easy. I guess the autumn harvest will start tomorrow, so the next few days will be quite tiring."
Jiang Yuan has now completely adapted to the situation. The work points she earns every day are neither the most nor the least. She is considered to be above average among the educated youth. Based on the work points she earns, the food she will receive should be enough to feed her.
Lin Shan was a little slower at work than her, but her performance was not the worst either. She was much better than Liu Xiu and Zhang Lin and earned six or seven work points every day. At least she had not been criticized by the village cadres during this period.
