So Chen Li rolled noodles for the two of them and fried some meat stew with chili sauce.

It was served in a large bowl and the aroma was so fragrant that even Shen Mingxi felt his stomach growling.

The father and daughter didn't hesitate to sit cross-legged on the table on the kang and started eating.

The family members gathered around them, watching with smiles and talking from time to time.

However, Shen Yu and Shen Mingxi did not mention the two dangerous encounters in Yuncheng. After all, they were already in the past. Telling them would make their families worry in vain.

Shen Yu estimated that if the Chu family members didn't arrive tomorrow, they would arrive early the day after tomorrow.

So he asked Shen Jiawen to divide up the things they brought back and deliver them to each family.

These people extended a helping hand to him when he was in the most difficult time. Although he doesn't have much ability now, he has a good life after all. He cannot be ungrateful.

Shen Mingxi was tired, so he ran to his room and fell asleep.

Shen Yu followed Grandma Mu to the east room.

Shen Jiawen, Shen Qingshan, Chen Li and others began to distribute things to each household.

Yaya and Goudan ate raw peanuts for the first time.

Although there is a smell, it is very fragrant when chewed carefully. Yaya couldn't help but say, "Mom, the peanuts are so fragrant."

Chen Li's eyes darkened, but she said gently, "Yaya, these peanuts taste better when they are fried. Mom will fry some peanuts for you tonight."

Goudan said seriously, "Don't eat them yet, we still need to sell them for money."

Shen Jiawen reached out and rubbed his brother's head, "Goudan is really sensible, but Dad said we can eat whatever we want."

Goudan and Yaya are looking better and better. Goudan is no longer as big-headed and thin-bodied as he was in the summer. He is now well-proportioned and good-looking. From such a young age, it can be seen that he will become a handsome young man in the future.

Yaya is not very tall, but her fair face is full of flesh, which looks very cute, especially when she eats, as her face is puffy.

Shen Jiawen looked at the piles of things on the kang and suddenly sighed, "I never thought we would see this day."

Shen Qingshan was careless, but he knew his elder brother was speaking from the heart. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Auntie Su said that we have gone through hardships before we can enjoy happiness."

"Yes, but don't forget that it was Xiaoxi who made the greatest effort to turn things around."

"Of course, I have thought about it. When Xiaoxi gets married in the future, I will prepare the best dowry in the world for her."

Shen Jiawen smiled.

Then he quickly divided the things and saw Shen Qingshan was about to leave with the things for Aunt Su's family, but suddenly he stopped him and asked in a deep voice, "Qingshan, have you ever thought about your future with Juanzi?"

Shen Qingshan's handsome face suddenly turned red, and he said shyly, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Brother is asking you seriously, do you have any plans for the future?"

Shen Qingshan blushed, but still said in a low voice, "I don't have any plans. I will listen to my parents."

"Since you listen to our parents, why don't you go to school? You have just graduated from junior high school."

Therefore, Qingshan still makes him and his father a little worried.

Shen Qingshan's eyes were wandering. The west room was quite large. Goudan and Yaya were flipping through the picture books and comic books that Shen Yu had bought for them by the wall, while Chen Li went to the kitchen with a small bowl of peanuts.

He and his elder brother were the only ones in the room. He whispered, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. Juanzi just graduated from elementary school."

"…But what does it have to do with whether you study or not?"

Shen Jiawen felt that he couldn't quite understand his younger brother.

"Juanzi has always been very good to me and our family. When I was hungry, she would secretly bring me food. I thought to myself that I must treat her well when I have the ability in the future."

Shen Jiawen smiled helplessly, "Silly brother, why didn't you understand what I asked you just now? What I mean is that even if Juanzi graduated from elementary school, what does it have to do with your future? Will you look down on Juanzi when you get into college in the future?"

"Of course not. Am I that kind of person?" Shen Qingshan's eyes widened, feeling that Shen Jiawen looked down on him.

"In that case, why don't you go a step further? Look at our family's situation. Our father will definitely not farm in Kaoshantun in the future. The policies are good now. You should know more about it than me after going out. Even if you do business in the future, you have a high level of education and know a lot, so you won't be cheated, right?" Shen Jiawen persuaded patiently.

"…But brother,…I am…"

Shen Qingshan stammered and couldn't say anything.

"Are you saying it's too late for you to go to school now? It's okay. Principal Chen has such a good relationship with our dad. If you want to go, you can go now."

"Brother, that's not what I meant. Juanzi's elementary school graduation is just an excuse. Look at our family. Our dad is still a high school student. Didn't our mom also graduate from elementary school? I really don't like studying. I get a headache when I see those things. If it wasn't to make Dad happy, I wouldn't have studied in those years."

Shen Jiawen smiled and said, "So you are learning cultural knowledge to make our dad happy?"

"Yes, that's right."

Shen Qingshan nodded vigorously.

"Didn't the head of our county's People's Armed Forces Department tell you that you can go for a physical examination anytime and anywhere? What do you think of this path?"

"...I want to wait and see."

"Are you worried that after you go there, you won't be able to be with Juanzi like you are now?"

Shen Jiawen said it pointedly.

He glared at his younger brother, still feeling a little disappointed with him.

"Brother, I have asked the People's Armed Forces Department. If I pass the physical examination, I will be a member of the special reserve team. It is a military-style management place, and the salary is higher than the military, but I need to go on missions frequently."

Shen Jiawen shook his head helplessly, reached out and patted Shen Qingshan on the shoulder, his voice still softened, "Qingshan, I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. If you have the ability to give Juanzi a better life, why don't you do it? Didn't you say when you came back that if you really joined the special reserve team, after retiring, the treatment will be the same as that of the department-team-level cadres?"

After a pause, Shen Jiawen continued, "Besides, it should be a very training place. Of course, it depends on your opinion. After all, the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department also said that although the salary is high, it is also very dangerous."

Shen Qingshan clenched his fists and laughed, a little proudly, "Brother, to be honest, I'm not afraid at all. I found that I'm more flexible and stronger than before. I can break a big rock with one punch. Do you believe it?"
