Yan Shuhua was right. Li Dagang was indeed good at studying, but by the time he was admitted to high school, the national college entrance examination system had been abolished. He wanted to go to college, but he had no choice but to come back home to farm. Now several years have passed, and everyone's initial hope has slowly turned into despair.

"Shuhua, do you really think the college entrance examination will be restored?" Li Pingshu said eagerly.

"That is a must, and it will happen soon." Yan Shuhua thought. The era of earning work points will soon be over. The household contract responsibility system will be implemented, and then various self-employed businesses will emerge. When the spring breeze of reform blows, there will be more and more self-employed businesses, and the world will be full of gold.

Li Pingshu originally thought that his son's future was ruined because he failed to get into university. If the college entrance examination system was really restored, that would be great, and he would have hope.

"That's why I told Dagang not to give up. He should stay at home and recover during this period of time. He should read more books. When the college entrance examination is resumed, he will take the exam. After he finishes college, he will naturally be assigned a good job."

Yan Shuhua planned his hopes for the future very well, like a brand new blueprint. Just listening to it makes people feel happy and hopeful.

Zhang Caixia will never forget the look of Shen Mengmeng who looked down upon Li Dagang in the hospital. Now seeing Yan Shuhua caring so much about Li Dagang, she really feels deeply shocked.

Every word Yan Shuhua said was really nice to hear, and it always revived the hope in one’s heart.

"Auntie Cai, are you going back?"

"Go back and get some clothes to change, and see if anyone can help take care of the chickens, ducks and pigs at home."

"My mom and I don't do farm work anyway, so let the two of us help you feed the animals."

"Shuhua, thank you."

"Uncle Li, Aunt Cai, you guys go back first." Yan Shuhua was planning to say goodbye to them here. Li Pingshu saw that she was in a hurry and asked, "Shuhua, where are you going?"

"I'm planning to become a self-employed person." Yan Shuhua said directly.

At this time, the word "self-employed" was still relatively unfamiliar to them. After all, that chaotic era had just passed, and many people were bound by their thoughts and were afraid. How could they think of becoming a self-employed person? If they were not careful, something serious would happen.

"Will there be another blow?" This blow is no ordinary one. If it goes badly, you will have to be paraded through the streets or go to jail.

"No, it's over." Yan Shuhua shook his head. Now the times have slowly developed. After two years of reform, and then in the 1980s, business will be extremely good.

Zhang Caixia felt Yan Shuhua was really decent for the first time. She used to think she was ugly and had a vixen face, so she hated her. But after this incident, Zhang Caixia really changed her mind about her.  Yan Shuhua originally wanted to go to the ward to see Li Dagang, but then he thought of Shen Mengmeng in there. If he went, he didn't know what would happen. He didn't want to quarrel in the ward again, so he thought about going around to see if there were any business opportunities. After all, he finally came to the city.

"Shuhua, if the college entrance examination is really resumed, will you take part in it?" Li Pingshu didn't know why he asked this question without thinking, because he always felt that this girl Yan Shuhua seemed to do something unexpected.

Li Pingshu was really right. Yan Shuhua had such a plan in his mind.

"I do want to take the exam." Li Pingshu was not surprised when Yan Shuhua finished speaking. After all, in the current situation, who wouldn't want to take the college entrance examination? But it is not so easy to get into college. After all, let alone college, the country will arrange a job for even a technical secondary school. If you can get into college, it would be a great honor.

Although Yan Shuhua doesn't have much knowledge, she is smart and young. If she really wants to take the exam, she can repeat the grade from now on and maybe she can pass it.

Zhang Caixia, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard Yan Shuhua say that he was going to take the college entrance examination! "Uncle Li, I have only told you about this." Yan Shuhua said in a low voice.

Li Pingshu certainly understood. After all, the chaos had just passed. If he spread the news that the college entrance examination would be restored at this time, it would definitely be disadvantageous to him, so Li Pingshu knew his limits.

"I'm leaving." Yan Shuhua thought there was no time to waste. She wanted to see the big factory and get familiar with the environment. After all, she would be able to develop her own well-off society nearby in the future.

"Shuhua, how are you going to get back later?" Li Pingshu felt a little uneasy when he saw her wandering around the town alone as a girl.

"I can take a car."

When Zhang Caixia looked at Yan Shuhua, she felt more and more that it was a great loss for her not to marry her son. The two parents-in-law returned home sighing.

As Yan Shuhua was walking, she felt her stomach was empty and a little hungry, so she bought two cakes to eat. Just as she was about to pay, she found that her money was missing, but she had already taken a bite of the cake.

When the uncle selling cakes saw Yan Shuhua taking money out of her pocket for a long time but failing to take it out, he immediately thought that this girl was trying to get food for free. After all, Yan Shuhua was wearing a coarse linen shirt with a tacky color, and she was also wearing shoes she had crocheted herself, making her look like a girl from the country.

The uncle selling cakes stared at Yan Shuhua with eyes as big as copper bells, as if he would rush over and eat her alive if she couldn't take out the money in the next second.

When she was wondering what to do, a man suddenly appeared behind her. Before she could say anything, he took out two cents with his big hands and gave it to the vendor. Yan Shuhua turned around and found that it was Song Yan.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in a town, especially an acquaintance as big as Song Yan. After Yan Shuhua took a big bite of the cake and swallowed it, he quickly asked him: "Song Yan, aren't you in the provincial capital?"

Song Yan was wearing fashionable clothes and his hair was combed neatly. The uncle selling cakes saw that he looked like someone from the capital and immediately became extremely polite to him.

Yan Shuhua felt that this person was really looking down on others.

"I came back these days. I didn't expect to meet you on the road. Why are you here?" Song Yan probably didn't get any sun in the past two days. His face was white and tender, even more tender than his master's.
