Chapter 75 Other Help
Zhang Lanxiang greeted her and hurried out of the yard. She quickly stood up and chased after her: "Ruolian, it's almost dark. It will be the same if we go tomorrow."
Shang Ruolian turned back stubbornly: "Mom, the sooner I get the books to study, the greater my chances of getting into university will be."
Seeing this, Zhang Lanxiang sighed and continued to sit in the yard picking beans...
The news that Tan Chen's eyes had recovered quickly spread throughout the village.
Anyway, he didn't want to hide it, so he held Shang Ruoting's hand all the way and walked back to Mrs. Shang's house under the gazes of everyone.
Old Mrs. Shang had already mixed the dumpling filling, and when Tan Chen got home, he washed his hands and took the initiative to knead the dough.
After all the preparations were done, the three of them gathered around the table to make dumplings.
Old Mrs. Shang discovered that Tan Chen could see again in the morning, and she secretly wiped away her tears for a long time.
It was just that Tan Chen told her not to tell anyone in the morning, wanting to give Shang Ruoting a surprise, so she pretended not to know.
Now, watching the young couple working in perfect harmony to make dumplings, she was happy for Shang Ruoting from the bottom of her heart.
From now on, Tingting no longer has to carry a hundred kilograms of grain back from the supply and marketing cooperative alone...
Shang Ruoting didn't know what her grandma was thinking, and she lowered her head to make dumplings seriously.
Suddenly, she felt a magnified handsome face appear in front of her.
"Ruoting, there's flour on your face." Tan Chen said, and was about to reach out to help her wipe it off.
Shang Ruoting instinctively dodged backwards: "Where is it? I'll wipe it myself."
"Just below the left eye."
"Is this the place?"
"A little further to the left."
"Is this the place?"
"down."
"Where exactly is it?"
Tan Chen walked forward with a smile, quietly touched a little flour on the table with his fingers, and quickly wiped it on Shang Ruoting's face.
"It's right here."
Shang Ruoting also felt something was wrong. She looked at Tan Chen's hands again and saw that he had touched the noodles on purpose.
She knew she was being fooled by him.
He casually grabbed some noodles and smeared them on Tan Chen's face: "I'll give it back to you."
Tan Chen was not to be outdone. He dipped some flour and continued to smear it on Shang Ruoting's face.
"Tan Chen, you are annoying. Just wait and see how I deal with you."
Old Mrs. Shang looked at the two people laughing and jokingly and tactfully hid away.
Although she felt a little sorry for the flour smeared on their faces, it was nothing compared to her granddaughter's happiness.
The laughter of a young couple could be heard from the kitchen...

Shang Ruolian walked to the town, and when she arrived at Shang Ruonan's house, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Shang Ruonan had just finished washing up and was about to rest when she heard a hurried knock on the door.
When he opened the door, it turned out to be Shang Ruolian: "Ruolian, you came here so late, did something happen at home?"
Zhou Qingmin, who was beside her, felt a headache when he saw Shang Ruolian. He was afraid that something had happened to the Shang family again and he didn't want to get involved anymore.
"Sister, brother-in-law, there's nothing wrong at home. I came here so late because I had something to do with my brother-in-law."
Shang Ruonan opened the door and let the person in: "Be quiet, Liangliang just fell asleep."
Several people came into the house and sat down. Zhou Qingmin asked, "Ruolian, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Brother-in-law, I want to borrow your high school textbooks."
Shang Ruonan and Zhou Qingmin opened their eyes wide at the same time.
"Ruolian, what's the point of borrowing textbooks?"
Shang Ruolian naturally couldn't say it, as she knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed next year.
"I just feel that I'm still young. Even though I can't go to school, it's good for me to learn more knowledge at home."
Shang Ruonan had no doubts about this. When Shang Ruolian was in school, her grades were among the best. It was understandable that she wanted to study high school courses at home.
Zhou Qingmin thought more carefully.
"Ruolian, I don't know why you want to teach yourself high school courses. You know, high school courses are very difficult. Without someone to guide you, you may not be able to learn them."
Shang Ruolan was also a little troubled by this.
"Brother-in-law, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhou Qingmin doesn't like Zhang Lanxiang and Shang Lichun, but he has a good impression of Shang Ruolian.
"Qiao, the educated youth in your village, has also graduated from high school. You can learn on your own first, and you can ask him if you have any questions."
When Shang Ruolian heard her brother-in-law mention Qiao Yuan, the shadow of Shang Ruoting flashed in her mind.
A vicious look flashed across her eyes.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Qiao Zhiqing. If he's willing to help me, I can also give him some other help."
As for what this other help was, Zhou Qingmin had no idea!
After agreeing to borrow textbooks from Zhou Qingmin, Shang Ruonan took Shang Ruolian to inquire about the compensation for Old Lady Shang that day.
Shang Ruolian told Shang Ruonan the outcome.
Shang Ruonan didn't show any displeasure on her face: "I didn't expect Ruoting to be so resourceful."
In front of Shang Ruonan, Shang Ruolian was too lazy to pretend to be innocent. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was unprecedentedly gloomy.
"Humph! She's relying on Tan Chen's support behind her."
"Sister, just wait and see! Sooner or later, I will get all of this back from her."
Shang Ruonan patted her shoulder and said, "Sister, no matter what you want to do, use your brain more and don't be impulsive."
