Jiang Sui has never been able to win an argument with Xiang Baiwei. Anyway, he has never thought about expressing Xiang Baiwei's thoughts.

"Okay, you are independent and you don't rely on men. Anyway, I have to rely on you to make a living. Without you, I can't live."

Jiang Sui didn't mind that there were other people in the yard, and he just spoke his true feelings out loud.

Chi Kunli covered half of her face in embarrassment: "Oh, that...my mother seems to be calling me, I'll leave first."

Xiang Baiwei, who also felt embarrassed, reached out to pull her to share the good and bad times with her, but unfortunately Chi Kunli guessed what she might do in advance and dodged it flexibly.

Before Chi Kunli left, she was considerate enough to help them close the gate of the yard.

Xiang Baiwei was exhausted, and just looked at Jiang Sui: "Can you be more reserved when speaking? There are people here, and you are just saying these... These words are so... so embarrassing to hear."

Jiang Sui walked to the basin and washed his hands confidently: "I'm just speaking from my heart, how can it be embarrassing? But you, if people outside heard what you said just now, they would definitely think that I am two-faced. I'm sorry for you."

"Oh, so you said that just now because you were worried that Chi Kunli would think of you like this?"

Although she knew that Jiang Sui did not mean that, Xiang Baiwei deliberately distorted Jiang Sui's purpose to tease him.

Sure enough, Jiang Sui stopped washing his hands, turned around, and looked at Xiang Baiwei very seriously: "I didn't. I don't care what the outside world thinks of me. I just need you to understand my feelings. Otherwise, I really..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it!"

Xiang Baiwei couldn't stand it anymore and raised her palm, "Please don't say these words that give me goose bumps. I can't stand it."

Jiang Sui turned around with a smile in his eyes and continued washing his hands: "Why did you suddenly talk about this with Chi Kunli just now?"

"Oh, I asked her to help me borrow books. She asked her cousin's relatives and borrowed five or six books. As we chatted, we talked about the exam. You said that we are so young, we can't rely on working in the mud for a lifetime. We still have to study hard and pass the exam, even if it's a technical secondary school, learning a skill, it can be relied on. Besides, the country will definitely recruit a large number of students for talent in the future."

Xiang Baiwei did not add that sentence this time: relying on ability is more important than relying on people.

Because Jiang Sui was sometimes very picky about words, she was too lazy to argue with him over these trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Jiang Sui turned his head and gave her a strange look.

Xiang Baiwei felt strange being looked at like that, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong with what I just said?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious. I think so, but how do you know that the country will recruit a large number of students for talent next?"

The thought that had appeared in Jiang Sui's mind before but he had never dared to believe popped up again.

He hoped it wasn't what he guessed.

In the previous life, Xiang Baiwei actually hated herself.

He also regretted what he had done in the past, and he was not sure that he could comfort Xiang Baiwei, who was full of scars in this life.

Xiang Baiwei did not answer but asked: "Well...why don't you tell me your opinion on this issue first?"

This question is easy to answer.

Jiang Sui smiled faintly: "I am the principal of the school. I often read some newspapers and documents. I figured it out after reading a lot. I feel that there is such a meaning above. Besides, if a country wants to develop, the most important thing is talent."

Xiang Baiwei immediately followed his words and tried to smooth things over for herself: "I just heard from a relative before, and what he said was similar to what you said today, and he also said that the country would recruit a large number of students and asked my brother to study hard."

"So you borrowed the book so that your brother could learn? Oh, you followed me to learn before, wasn't it so that you could teach your brother more conveniently?"

After learning that Xiang Baiwei heard this from someone else, Jiang Sui felt much more at ease.

"No, I'm just following along. Didn't you hear me just now? I don't plan to make a living in the mud for the rest of my life. I have to learn a skill to support myself."

Xiang Baiwei ate the last bite of the radish and threw the remaining radish tail into the ground in the distance. "What about you? What are your plans? I haven't asked you before."

"I have the same idea as you." Jiang Sui picked up the small cloth bag from the car, "These are a few books I found today. They should be useful. We can read and study together."

The two of them managed to get less than ten books in total.

This amount of books is just a drop in the bucket for the college entrance examination.

But both husband and wife were born again, and they knew that if they wanted to go to college, they had to make plans early.

The two stood in front of the table, looking at the few books on the table. After discussing for a while, they decided to go back to the bookstore in the city to buy some books.

Because the college entrance examination was resumed only a few years ago, many people gave up because they had forgotten the knowledge points, or they already had a job and did not want to continue studying, so they sold their books.

And these second-hand books are the focus of their book hunting.

In addition, the two took advantage of opportunities during their respective work to ask around for where they could get books.

Over time, Xiang Baiwei's younger brother Xiang Shuzhi heard about the couple looking for books, and he got a bunch of them from somewhere and gave them to them.

When Xiang Shuzhi came with the book, Xiang Baiwei was washing clothes in the yard.

Jiang Sui, who was chopping wood, heard someone knocking on the door and hurried over to open it: "Shuzhi is here."

Xiang Shuzhi chuckled and said, "Hello, brother-in-law. I heard that you guys are busy looking for books recently."

"How do you know that?"

Jiang Sui nodded, then asked him curiously.

"My eldest brother told me. Did you mention this to him when you were having dinner with him a few days ago?" Xiang Shuzhi placed the two bundles of books in front of the door. "These belong to my brothers. They said they didn't want them a long time ago. I went to ask them a few days ago. After they confirmed that they didn't want them, I exchanged them for some food coupons."

Jiang Sui was very surprised when he heard this. He squatted down and checked the books, then took out a stack of food coupons from his pocket and stuffed them into Xiang Shuzhi's hand: "How can I use your food coupons? Use my brother-in-law's."

Xiang Shuzhi quickly declined: "In fact, it didn't take much food coupons. We are all good brothers, and they won't ask for too much. Besides, I call you brother-in-law, we are all family, you don't have to play tricks on me."

Xiang Baiwei, who was washing clothes nearby, wiped the water off her hands, came over, and helped stuff the food coupons into Xiang Shuzhi's hands: "Just take it if I tell you to. It's time to eat a good meal, little boy, and the food coupons are not enough."
