Chapter 691 Finale

In October, the North City had a hint of autumn.

Jiang Yu took time to return to Nanhe Village.

The news of her resignation had spread a long time ago, but no one could see her, and even if they had something to say, she couldn't hear it.

He Youfu said a few words of concern, but seeing that Jiang Yu had her own ideas, he didn't say much, but talked about the things in the village.

"The first batch of chickens and ducks have been released, but because it is the first year, the number of them is not large, but the profit is still considerable!"

When talking about the collective sideline business in the village, He Youfu's eyes were shining, thinking about the future.

"I plan to expand the scale next year and make more money!"

Jiang Yu smiled and congratulated him, and then asked about growing cotton.

He Youfu's smile faded a little, and he said, "Don't mention it. The land was divided, but it failed when the seedlings were raised."

Lai Zhijie was not a reliable person. I don't know where he found a person who said he was an expert.

Under his guidance, all the cotton in the seedling stage was successfully killed.

Those villagers who planted cotton were fooled three times, and all three seedlings were wiped out.

If it weren't for He Youfu's support, they would have lost their pants.

"But it's good this way. With this lesson, they are finally more obedient."

Turning around and seeing that He Youfu had made money, they came to help again.

He Youfu said, "When we expand the scale next year, at least we won't have to worry about lack of help."

He looked at the blue sky outside and smiled. The days are getting more and more promising.

"Oh, by the way, there's also your brother's story."

Jiang Yu turned his head to look at him, "Jiang Hao?"

He Youfu laughed awkwardly, "Yes, Jiang Hao became someone's son-in-law, did you know that?"

Jiang Yu shook her head. She hadn't contacted Wang Meili for a long time.

He Youfu told her a few words.

Wang Meili tried her best to find a wife for him, but no one liked him.

Jiang Hao couldn't stand hardship, and his family had no money. He relied on the little pension given by Jiang Yu to support him.

He thought of the girl that the matchmaker had introduced to him before.

"The girl is from the city. She used to be a soldier. Later, she retired. Because she was delayed in getting married because of her military service, it was difficult for her to get married, so she went to the countryside to find a girl."

The only condition was that the man had to pay a gift.

Not only would she give a gift, but she could also arrange a job for the man.

Jiang Hao used to despise her because she was older than him, but now he finally recognized the reality and rushed to become someone's son-in-law.

Jiang Yu laughed, "As long as he is happy, I don't care about his affairs."

She doesn't even care about Jiang Ting, how can she care about Jiang Hao?

He Youfu sighed and tapped the cigarette holder in his hand.

"But I heard that he is not doing well. He cried and came home before, and was beaten black and blue."

It is difficult for He Youfu to forget that a grown man cried all the way home.

Jiang Yu asked curiously, "Why was he beaten? Did his father-in-law beat him?"

He Youfu shook his head, a little embarrassed.

"It was his wife who beat him. His wife is tall and big, about the same size as your man, and I guess she's pretty strong. She told Jiang Hao to wash the dishes, but he refused, so she slapped him twice, knocking out all his teeth."

Jiang Yu imagined that scene and burst out laughing.

She really couldn't sympathize with him at all, because evildoers will always be punished.

After saying that, Jiang Yu stood up and said goodbye.

He Youfu sent her back and said loudly, "Jiang Yu, Uncle Youfu believes in you. If you get into college, remember to let us know so that the village can also benefit from it."

Jiang Yu stopped and smiled.

"Don't worry, Uncle Youfu. If I get in, I'll let you know as soon as possible. I'll always be from Nanhe Village."

He Youfu smiled with relief, looking at her back, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

In November, it snowed in the north city. Jiang Yu was afraid of the cold and rarely went out. She stayed indoors to study.

Yao Xiangling sat in the main room knitting a sweater, looking at the snow outside the window and sighing.

"It's so cold, I can't even go out with Ningning."

Aunt Lan sat next to her and sorted out her wool.

"That's right, it's very cold. It will be colder next month than now. By then, my hands will be so stiff that I can't even hold a pen. How can I take the exam?"

Yao Xiangling was also worried. Now everyone was staring at Jiang Yu.

They said that if she quit her job and didn't get into college, it would be a shame.

She hoped that Jiang Yu would get in, but even if she didn't, she wouldn't feel anything.

It was the gossip outside that made her depressed.

Not long after, He Tingyue came back.

The ground was covered with a layer of white snow, leaving footprints wherever they stepped on it.

"What did you bring for your wife again?" Yao Xiangling teased with a smile.

Jiang Yu resigned, but He Tingyue did not.

He still had to go to work, and was afraid that Jiang Yu would be bored, so he always found ways to bring food back to Jiang Yu to coax her, even his daughter had to come last.

He Tingyue took out a roasted sweet potato from his arms, which was still hot.

"Aunt, not only my wife has it, but everyone has it."

Yao Xiangling glared at him, "You are so thoughtful, come in quickly."

Before He Tingyue entered the door, Jiang Yu smelled the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

Her face was full of surprise, "It smells so good!"

It's cold now and she's easily hungry, so she's most looking forward to He Tingyue bringing food home.

He Tingyue peeled off the outer layer of the fragrant skin and let her take a bite.

"Is it delicious?"

Jiang Yu nodded vigorously, puffing up his cheeks like a hamster.

"It's delicious! You eat it too."

He Tingyue also took a bite, it was sweet, soft and sticky.

He handed the sweet potato to Jiang Yu, asking her to eat it, while he massaged her shoulders.

"Wife, what do you think about me going into the sea?"

Jiang Yu paused and looked up at him.

"What do you mean?"

He Tingyue said, "I am doing well in the transport team organized by Xiaoqi. I feel that the national policy is going to change. I want to quit my job and do this."

But such things dare not be said openly at the moment.

After all, this is speculation, which is not honorable and illegal.

Jiang Yu licked her lips, "Why?"

He Tingyue said, "I had this idea before, but now I am more determined. It's boring for me to do it when you are not in the second factory."

His serious words burned Jiang Yu's heart, making her feel like she was electrocuted and her blood was boiling.

Jiang Yu's cheeks flushed, her brows were filled with anger, and she glared at him.

"Don't say such things in front of Director Zheng, or he will scold me for being a troublemaker."

He Tingyue held her hand, his eyes became deeper, and his voice was shrouded in an indelible tenderness that moved people's hearts.

"You are the troublemaker."

Fortunately, it was his.

Jiang Yu avoided his burning gaze, her heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and even her ears were hot.

"Just do it if you want to, I support you."

He Tingyue pinched her palm, "If people know, it might be embarrassing."

Jiang Yu didn't take it seriously, and asked back: "If I don't pass the exam, will you think I'm embarrassed?"

This question does not need to be answered, he won't.

He Tingyue leaned over and kissed her red lips, which tasted sweet potato.

Although he mentioned his idea to Jiang Yu, he was not in a hurry. He wanted to wait for Jiang Yu to finish the college entrance examination first.

Time flew by and it was December. In the biting cold wind, thousands of students stepped into the examination room to take part in the college entrance examination that had been over for many years.

On the last day, Jiang Yu walked out of the examination room with a dazed look, as if she was dreaming.

Did she finish the exam like this?

Tan Lizhu, Cai Xiaole, and many familiar faces walked out of the examination room one after another. They all

had different expressions on their faces, but generally speaking, they didn't look too bad.

However, the weather was cold, and everyone hurried home without even time to say a word.

Jiang Yu met them again when they were estimating their scores and filling out their applications.

Cai Xiaole calculated the scores and was a little worried.

"I've inquired about the score cutoff for the School of Broadcasting, and mine is a bit uncertain."

Tan Lizhu asked, "Do you want to change schools?"

Cai Xiaole shook her head. She would apply to the School of Broadcasting. If she didn't pass this time, she could just try again next year.

Jiang Yu was the same. Her goal was BFSU.

If she didn't pass this year, she would take the exam again next year.

She took a look at Tan Lizhu's aspirations and said in surprise, "Nanjing University? Aren't you staying in Beicheng?"

Tan Lizhu lowered her eyes and said, "I want to go out and see the world while I'm still young and can walk."

Tan's family affairs affected her mood too much. She couldn't calm down to create. She couldn't

even write a manuscript.

She wanted to leave Beicheng and go somewhere far away.

Jiang Yu held her hand with a firm look in his eyes.

"Lizhu, I wish you the best."

Tan Lizhu smiled, "Me too."

Since the beginning of the year, people in the family courtyard have received admission letters one after another.

Cai Xiaole and Tan Lizhu both received them, and they were admitted to the universities of their choice.

Jiang Yu was also quietly looking forward to his own admission letter.

However, as time went by, hope became increasingly slim.

On New Year's Eve, every household was busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone tacitly did not mention the admission letter in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked at their cautious appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't pass the exam this year, but I will continue next year. What's there to be disappointed about?"

At the New Year's Eve dinner, she raised her wine glass.

"Bless me!"

She was wearing a red sweater, and her fair face looked even more delicate against the red background.

He Tingyue raised his wine glass and clinked it with a crisp sound.

Suddenly -

"Jiang Yu! Is Jiang Yu in this household? Comrade Jiang Yu, your acceptance letter has arrived!"

Jiang Yu suddenly raised her eyes, her movements were frozen in mid-air, her hands trembled, and the wine spilled.

She hurriedly got up and ran out, almost slipping.

"I'm really sorry, I originally planned to deliver it two days ago, but there were too many things in the past two days, so I didn't have time. Congratulations!"

Jiang Yu was like a treasure. Holding the acceptance letter in her hand, looking at the name on it, she shed tears and was very excited.

Yao Xiangling hurriedly said, "Comrade, come in and have some tea. It's New Year's Day."

"Auntie, I won't go in. I have a lot of notices that I haven't delivered yet. My classmates must be waiting anxiously! Only after I deliver them, they can have a good New Year."

Yao Xiangling quickly grabbed a handful of candy for him, "Take it and sweeten your mouth."

"Thank you, Auntie, Happy New Year, I'm leaving first!"

He Tingyue pulled Jiang Yu into the house, more anxious than her.

"Wife, open it quickly!"

Jiang Yu only filled out one application, and it was unsurprisingly BFSU.

She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and her eyes were wet.

"He Tingyue, I passed the exam!" Her eyes were bright, like a child asking for candy, and she couldn't wait to take credit for it with him.

He hugged Jiang Yu and put his forehead against hers.

"You passed the exam. Wife is awesome!"

Yao Xiangling was anxious and couldn't help urging her, "Open it quickly, don't dawdle."

Jiang Yu burst into laughter, her face flushed with excitement.

She carefully opened the envelope, took out the thin paper inside, and read it word by word.

"College Admission Notice, Comrade Jiang Yu, the Admissions Committee has approved you to enter...school...major, please report to the school on......"

Jiang Yu's slow voice echoed in the room, penetrating into people's hearts like a gurgling stream.

This piece of paper carries her efforts and hopes.

From now on, she will embark on a new journey and continue to move forward unswervingly.

It is hope and also longing.

The lights and candles are full of joy in the room.
