Wen Yun went to the school, queued up for registration, submitted materials, handled various income and paid tuition and fees, and moved into the dormitory with a certificate.

Before coming, she had learned a lot of information in the school post bar. She knew where the daily necessities were cheap and what should be bought.

First, she bypassed the supermarket in the school and went to the street diagonally across from the school to buy quilts and mats, where the goods were of good quality and affordable.

Compared with her roommate’s large and small bags, she took a suitcase, which contained only a few clothes and some daily necessities for her part-time work, which was mostly empty.

Quilts, pillows, daily necessities, and odds and ends have to be bought.

It was already afternoon when I arrived at school, and it was evening after I had finished my work. The roommate who slept across from her came. In a simple conversation, she knew her name was Feng Shuli, she was a local, and everyone was unfamiliar and didn't talk much.

At night, after washing herself, she lay on the bed and chatted with Ji Huai typing.

Two days and two nights running around made her extremely tired, and she didn't talk for long. Ji Huai had to get up early the next day, and went to bed after saying goodnight to each other.

The next day.

Ji Huai still got up early to catch fish to sell. Yesterday, he was a little rusty. Today, he caught fish faster, and he caught more than 30 catties.

When setting up the stall, he wanted Wang Xiufen to sit and kill the fish by himself.

"Where are you? Don't make trouble!" Wang Xiufen drove him aside and continued to kill the fish.

"Pay attention to your waist." Ji Huai told, sitting on the side with a stool.

Wang Xiufen said while killing the fish, “I used to sleep with sore hands and feet, but today it seems to be better.”

Ji Huai: "That is effective. You have to buy the fish quickly, go home and have a meal, and go early today."

After all, it takes three hours to go back and forth, plus the time for diagnosis and treatment, and it will be dark when you come back to feed the chickens and ducks.

Wang Xiufen felt that her grandson was really filial, so far away, she drove her away, and didn't hurt him in vain. No regrets at all for taking out most of his savings to buy a car for him.

She killed another fish. There were no customers in the stall. She seemed to think of something and said frustratedly, “It’s useless when you are old, and it hurts you, and you don’t know how many years you can live. If you weren’t young, you didn’t get married and had children. I'll die when I die, so what is the cure?

"How many years to live? Strive to live to be 110 years old." Ji Huai said quite seriously.

She lived one hundred and one years old in her previous life. She was able to thread her needle when she was ninety years old. When she was ninety-five years old, she couldn't lift a hoe, but she was able to turn the soil and grow vegetables with a small shovel, and she could still hold back when she was ninety-eight years old. Go for a walk in the village with a cane.

Where is this?

Wang Xiufen was so teased by him that he couldn't shut his mouth from ear to ear.

She is 68 years old this year.

Ji Huai: "Old man?"

She laughed, "You little **** knows you can fool me by talking."

....

Wen Yun fell asleep in the morning, and continued to clean up after waking up.

They lived in a four-person bed, and apart from Feng Shuli, the other two roommates also came one after another. A small man with a little lively temper is called Shi Jing, who is also a local.

She was also sent by her parents, with a few packed cartons and three suitcases.

The other is Li Ru, who happens to be in the same province and city as her.

The four-person bed is the lower berth. Everyone uses a lot of space. There is a place to put luggage on the side, but it is already filled with Feng Shuli and Shi Jing’s suitcases and packed clothes.

They have too many things. Bookshelves and tables are full of bottles and jars, and clothes are full of closets and cabinets.

Li Ru doesn't have a lot of things, but she buys some on and off when she goes to supermarkets and shopping malls. In contrast, Wen Yun is the most "shabby" one.

Her bookshelves and tabletops were very empty, even a little "desolate", only a water cup and toothpaste and toothbrushes were placed. There is a cheap bottle of sunscreen and facial cleanser in the corner. She was afraid that she would be tanned during military training. Since falling in love, she has paid special attention to these.

Although there are not many things, it is time-consuming to tidy up, clean up, and take a lunch break when you are tired. In the afternoon, we will clean up as a group and buy the common supplies for the dormitory together. The four of them did not completely clean up until the evening.

Everyone went to the cafeteria to have a meal and came back to eat. Wen Yun was the first to take a bath. She also washed her clothes and dried them on the balcony.

The three people in the dormitory were chatting. Li Ru asked them what interesting places and delicious things were in the local area, and then talked about the situation at home. The three people kept talking and laughed constantly.

Shi Jing talks a lot and is willing to talk about her family's conditions, and she can hear that her family is better. There are a few suites at home, and her grandparents retired from public office.

Feng Shuli is neither lively nor quiet. She has an older brother who is addicted to watching dramas and variety shows, and interjects from time to time. Li Ru somewhat agrees with Shi Jing. She is also an only child, and her father is a teacher. It is said that she also has two small houses at home.

Wen Yun seemed to be the "lowest level". She was also clumsy about interpersonal communication, so she didn't join in, sitting in her seat, holding a pen in hand.

In the past two days, I have successively bought the things I should buy, and I don't need to spend any other money except for meals.

She had a total of five thousand six thousand for summer work, and one thousand provincial scholarships, a total of six thousand five. Excluding the five hundred train tickets, I bought a low-end smartphone with 300 yuan to send phone bills, 4,300 tuition and tuition and miscellaneous fees, and odds and ends of daily necessities, 300, and each person paid 100 to buy the public bedroom. Supplies and drinking fountain water tickets, plus three hundred for food for half a month of military training... she still has seven hundred left in her hand.

Wen Yun took the phone, opened the chat window with Ji Huai, and sent him five hundred.

After a while, he returned a message: "?"

Wen Yun: "First pay you five hundred, and then pay you the remaining five hundred, and I will also remember the two hundred for the volunteer."

Before the college entrance examination, he borrowed five hundred from her. At that time, he said that if she graduated and worked to earn money, he would pay him one thousand. He took her to ask about the two hundred she volunteered for the college entrance examination. It was not because she didn’t know how much it would cost to come to the school. I have enough money.

Ji Huai ordered a refund for the transfer, "We are all related to this, and you still tell me so clearly? No need to return it."

Wen Yun turned back again, her expression insistent, and said: "At the beginning, I said that I borrowed, and I also drew an IOU. If I said that I borrowed, I will pay it back. It has nothing to do with our identity."

Ji Huai returned a cute emoji with a cute baby looking up at the sky, slightly helpless.

She urged again: "You are about to collect."

Ji Huai didn't move for a long time, her brows frowned.

After a while, he ordered the payment, "I don't need to pay the remaining 500, but I will double it in just a few months? The interest on loan sharks is not so high, don't make trouble."

Wen Yun didn't insist on this topic with him either. When she saved up the money, she would pay it back. Even if he didn't want it, she could buy him something.

She changed the conversation and asked him what he was doing.

Ji Huai made a video call.

Wen Yun looked at the roommate who was chatting behind. Feng Shuli had plugged in her earphones and stared at the computer to watch the variety show. The other two were chatting. She also climbed onto the bed with the earphones.

After lying in the quilt, she looked at the camera, he seemed to be outside, and the camera was full of trees.

Ji Huai's voice came, "How about at school?"

"Fortunately, the school is big and beautiful." She lowered her voice and returned.

"That's good, when is the military training?"

"I will attend the school opening ceremony tomorrow morning. I will go to the army for military training the day after tomorrow. You cannot bring your mobile phone." Wen Yun asked after finishing speaking, "What are you doing? Why didn't I see you?"

When the camera turned over there, Ji Huai's face appeared in her sight. He was wearing a black peaked cap and his forehead was sweaty. He looked at the camera, "Guess what I am doing?"

Wen Yun observed carefully, there were small trees and weeds behind him, hesitatingly said, "Are you working outside?"

"Why are you so smart?" Ji Huai showed his neat white teeth and sat down on the ground, tapping his finger on the phone and changing the camera behind him.

Wen Yun saw clearly that he was in the field.

Ji Huai lowered the phone and reached out to pull out the peanut leaves on the ground. When he tried hard, the peanuts in the ground were uprooted, and the peanuts covered with soil appeared on the ground, full and full.

He voiced helplessly, "I got up early today to catch fish and sell fish. I sent my grandma to Dacheng Town for treatment at noon. She said that she was better when she came back. She had to come to pull peanuts and didn't let her come, so I came by myself."

In the camera, she saw two large baskets of peanuts that had already been sacked. The peanut leaves were cut, and the peanuts and their eyelashes were put in the basket, and they were picked one by one when they returned.

"It's almost seven o'clock, and it's getting dark, are you hungry?" She felt a little distressed.

"I'm hungry." Ji Huai sighed again, pointing to the distance, and patted his forehead with the root of his palm. , Grandma has to come crawling, the doctor said to work less these days."

When the words were over, Ji Huai looked up at the dark sky and stood up, "I can't take it anymore. There are too many mosquitoes. I'm going back now."

He took the pole, hooked the two baskets of peanuts to the left and right, squatted and put the pole on his shoulders, and easily picked up the two baskets of peanuts and walked to the side of the road.

"How far is it from home? Are you picking up and walking back?" Wen Yun asked.

"I'm not stupid, I came by car." As soon as he spoke, he had picked up the car, opened the trunk, and put in the two baskets of peanuts covered with soil.

When Ji Huai got in the car, she looked at his slightly dirty clothes, with a lot of dirt on his hands and feet, and said with a smile, "Doesn't it hurt to sit in the new car so dirty?"

Most men like cars, his car is still new, but it was a baby before, and she has repeatedly told her to close the door lightly. Now he puts peanuts and fishes again, which is dirty and fishy. He just said to buy two packets of chicken feed.

Ji Huai drove forward while shaking his head, taking time to look at the camera, dark and bright eyes facing her, raising his lips, "I don't care about so much now. Suffering is bitter, and dirty is dirty. It is the only way to make money. Kingly way. I now have a mission in my body. I have to make money to support you and save money to wait for you to graduate and marry you."

"I don't need your support." Wen Yun's eyes were bent into crescent moons unconsciously, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, fearing that her roommate would hear that she hid in the bed and chatted with him.

She will make money to support herself, and when the military training is over, she will find a part-time job.

Peanut Field is not far from Ji's home. Ji Huai arrived home within a few minutes of driving. He still had a lot of things, and the two of them hung up their voices.

Wen Yun hid in the quilt and was a little hot. She opened the quilt slowly, and was about to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. The sweetness in her heart still lasted for a long time. Just as I was about to get out of bed, there was another sound of money sprinkling from the phone.

Her Alipay received a transfer of 520 yuan, and she was blinded for a while when she saw it.

Because she only opened Alipay not long ago, she has never used it. Looking at the name and profile picture, she found that it has the same name as Jihuai's WeChat account.

Before she could ask, he sent a message: "Wish classmate Wen arrive at the school smoothly and have a happy start."

The reason is far-fetched, and a cute cat winking emoticon was posted at the end.

"That's the money I paid back to you." She frowned, and came and paid back. Doesn't it mean that I haven't paid back?

"You're misunderstood, this is the money I paid for buying snacks for my kids." After sending it, he sent another one, "You can't turn it back. I will feel that you are resisting my emotional expression. It is not possible to maintain the relationship after such a long distance. Easy, there is a saying: Where is the heart where the money is."

Wen Yun was typing, and when she saw the last sentence he sent, she stopped and deleted the words she had typed.

If it is too true, will it hurt feelings? She doesn't have to worry, she must be clear now.

Wen Yun hadn't thought about what to get back, so Ji Huai said that he had gone to dinner.

She was reluctant to delay his time, ended the chat, sat on the bed and thought for a while, looked at his portrait and the chat history of the two, and then got out of bed and went to the bathroom for a while.

As soon as Wen Yun entered the bathroom, Shi Jing and Li Ru looked at each other with curiosity.

When the two of them were not chatting, they would hear Wen Yun's intermittent voices, obviously not with family or ordinary friends, plus talking about picking, working, carrying, dirty... it is easy to think of some scenes. The two are sure that she must be in love, and most of her boyfriends are not doing well.

Wen Yun's desktop is really shabby. Looking at her clothes and shoes, she can tell that her family must be poor. A rural person who came out of the valley?

The four of them did not meet before. Although they were in the same dormitory, the relationship was very delicate. Everyone didn't want to be the weakest, but someone had to be the weakest.

Feng Shuli and Shi Jing are locals and they have a natural advantage. Li Ru has a wink and is more compatible with Shi Jing's family preference. She is the person who most wants to put Wen Yun in the most disadvantaged position.

Poor is the label everyone puts on her now.

*

When Ji Huai came back, Wang Xiufen had already prepared the meal. He had eaten two bowls and drank a bowl of rib soup.

Wang Xiufen, who was already sitting in the yard picking peanuts after eating, pulled the peanuts from the eyelashes one by one with her hands. Although she moved fast, they were two big baskets and had to work for a long time.

Ji Huai also moved the stool and sat beside her to pick it up together.

"Xiaoyun only went to college this year? Where did she go?" Wang Xiufen asked about Wen Yun.

Ji Huai put the picked peanuts in a basket on the side, "Well. At Anji Normal University, in Dongji Province."

Wang Xiufen asked again: "How many years will it take?"

"Four years." He replied.

"So long?" The movement on Wang Xiufen's hand paused.

There are no college students in their family, and no material for studying. Not long after four years of college means coming back four years later? It's too far apart again, it's too hanging.

"Isn't it all like this in universities? If you take a postgraduate entrance examination, you have to study for three years." Ji Huai also looked up at her.

"You are so far apart, and you just talked now, oops." Wang Xiufen's thoughts rested again, lowered his head and picked peanuts by himself. There was still a long way to go, and in the end there was not too much.

He was very dissatisfied: "What's wrong with being so far away? I haven't seen them all at a distance."

Wang Xiufen: "You didn't study, and society might change when you get out of it. Our family is still so poor. People who come to study and become teachers may not look down on you."

She came out in a poor life. The house was built and the car was also available at home. She still felt very poor. In her opinion, she was a scholar to be admitted to the university.

Many scholars do not look down upon them who are doing agricultural work.

"Change is the future. Who can guarantee who? Now that we have feelings, I will treat her better, work hard to make money, and get married as soon as she graduates." Ji Huai smiled, boasting, "in As soon as she came out of society, I tied people up, and she liked me again, wouldn't it be enough? Besides, Xiaoyun might think that I am handsome, bear hardships and stand hard work, and work hard, but I don't want to marry."

Wang Xiufen scolded him with a smile, "There is nothing right."

Ji Huai did not refute either.

She thought about it, and felt that Ji Huai was right, "If you have a couple, you have to find your heart to love yourself. The life is the two of you. Put away your foolishness. Now that you are with a girl, then Be nice to others."

It is his grandson, who knows a little bit, and his tongue is slick. She used to feel that Ji Huai was born with unstable nature. Through observations during this period of time, she was filial and filial even after suffering.

"I want to marry her, it must be good for her, and it's not just for fun." Ji Huai emphasized.

Although Wang Xiufen felt that four years later, he was full of unknowns, but he did not express any opinions. The young people solved the problems themselves.

After the two picked the two big baskets of peanuts, Wang Xiufen brought the big bucket and asked Ji Huai to pour the peanuts in and wash them under the faucet in the yard.

Seeing Ji Huai squatting down to wash by hand, Wang Xiufen pulled him up, "When will I wash this way? Slippers stand in and wash with your feet."

"Oh." Ji Huai rolled up his trousers and stood in the bucket while leaning on the wall to start washing.

Bucket after bucket, fish out and continue washing.

Ji Huai's hands and feet were sore and sour, and he was instructed to take the peanuts and pour them in the corridor. These peanuts have to be exposed to the sun for a few days, and they can be kept longer if they are dried.

*

Wen Yun was ready to go to military training after attending the opening ceremony.

The two could not be contacted for this half month.

Ji Huai videotaped her with her for a long time that night, and didn't go to bed until the early hours of the morning, and both of them reluctantly left. He told a lot of things to let her take care of herself.

Wen Yun suffered from insomnia that night, tossing and turning.

During this time, the two chatted every day. If she didn't find him, he would come to her. She used to see each other every day when she was working in the summer vacation, but suddenly she hadn’t contacted her for so long, and she was very disappointed.

She has always known that she likes him, likes him very much, and even loves him.

It was the first time someone cared about her so much, walked into her world, and even made her feel that she could share with him those things that he didn't want to say to others, he would not be impatient and would be by her side.

The school and the environment are unfamiliar, all kinds of unknown make her panic, only he can make her feel safe.

She is shy and introverted, while Ji Huai is outgoing and humorous, and is very popular with the opposite sex. When the two of them were in the same class in junior high school, many girls in the class liked him, and there were also in the next class.

In this relationship, she knows that she has given a lot, and it may be difficult to keep him in the end. Now it's a long-distance relationship again. She doesn't know how far she can go, but she doesn't even dare to think about it. She is greedy for the moment.

At dawn, she thought he was awake, and then she messaged him.

Ji Huai replied in seconds, "Daughter-in-law, I didn't sleep all night!!!"

Wen Yun paused, "What's the matter?"

"You're all in your head. I'm afraid that sending a message will wake you up."

She looked at the line of words, her heartbeat speeded up, and returned a shy expression of a cute cat with flushed cheeks, "I didn't sleep either..."

"Ah? Why didn't you call me? Stupid."

The restlessness of her sleepless night seemed to fade away at that moment.

The environment that grew up made her too pessimistic, always thinking about the bad things, feeling that she was terrible, and she didn't deserve to have anything.

They have a very good relationship. He didn't show coldness to her just because he was so far away.

Wen Yun's mood before the military training was much more relaxed, and she deliberately told him, "We must guard ourselves."

Ji Huai: "Safe and safe. I have arranged for myself to pull out peanuts in six days, then clean the warehouse and duck shed in three days, and prepare to buy 2,000 large white ducks and 1,000 laying ducks. , Very busy."

"..."

Wen Yun didn't worry, thinking he was joking.

When she went to military training, Ji Huai was really busy here.

Wang Xiufen still felt sorry for her grandson at first, but later found it was very useful. Wake up in the morning to make breakfast and shout, "Get up for breakfast and catch fish!"

"Xin." Ji Huai squinted downstairs, holding his head against the chicken coop, wearing flip-flops and flared pants on his feet.

Catch fish and sell fish, and then send Wang Xiufen to Dacheng Town for treatment. When she returns, she will feed the chickens and ducks, and he will clean the warehouse and duck shed to prepare for raising ducks.

After cleaning, prepare for disinfection work. The duck shed and the surrounding area must be disinfected. When the sun goes down and the sun is not so dry, Wang Xiufen shouted again: "Go to the field to pull peanuts."

"Go go, go now." Ji Huai pulled up his clothes, wiped the sweat from his face, and took the key to drive.

Wang Xiufen has a bad waist and can't always bend over. Ji Huai was pulling, she just sat on the shore to pick it, so that it saved the time to go back to pick it.

After pulling it for a few days, peanuts were everywhere on the concrete floor in the yard of Ji's house. She pulled a piece of cloth and asked Ji Huai to take it to the fish pond and spread it on the ground.

There are more than 20 acres of land behind their home, so worry about not having a place to sun?

During this period of time, Ji Huai was tanned, and while flipping peanuts, he muttered to her, "Can you stop? Just plant a little bit. You can plant three acres of peanuts. I want your grandson to be exhausted."

"Is this tired?" Wang Xiufen pointed to the warehouse and said to him, holding the freshly picked eggs in his hand. "The ducklings ordered will be delivered soon. I will buy the feed tomorrow. I can't carry it anymore. You can carry the feed. Go inside and pile it up. Just buy thirty bags this time."

Ji Huai looked up at the warehouse next to the fish pond, and asked her, "How much is a pack of feed? How much does it cost?"

As long as it is a large-scale breeding, the input cost is not small. In the later stage, you have to eat several packets of feed a day, and the feed cost will be nearly 1,000 days.

Wang Xiufen snorted, "I bought you a car with all my money. A little duck costs three or four yuan, and three thousand ducks cost 10,000 yuan. That's my coffin. How can I have any money to buy it again? Feed? When the time comes, you will go on credit, and when the ducks are sold, you will go to the feed store to check out."

She has been a big farmer for decades, and she still has the ability to go to the feed store to credit dozens of packs of feed. She still has tens of thousands of yuan in her hand, but she can't invest all of it. Afraid that Ji Huai would retreat and leave the mess and run away, he has to give him a little pressure and responsibility.

"Okay." Ji Huai said nothing.

As long as you buy ten packs of feed, the store will deliver it for free, but it will not help carry it.

Ji Huai looked at the yellow bag of feed on the car, one bag was full of 120 kilograms.

He walked to the trunk of the truck and leaned against it.

"Young man, can you?" the master asked, standing in the car, with a cigarette in his mouth.

He looks small in age, and his face is clean and juicy. Generally, people who do this kind of hard work are middle-aged or older. Nowadays, young people have a lot of fun, so they are willing to do this kind of hard work?

Ji Huai: "Yes."

The master walked in, pulled out a bag of feed, and placed it beside the car. Ji Huai squatted down slightly, holding the feed with both hands, and placed it on his back. He felt the weight on his back, and took a deep breath to stabilize his back. Go to the warehouse.

Wang Xiufen was holding the chicken-feeding basin, looking at him from a distance, her eyes flickered slightly, she couldn't bear to look anymore, turned around and walked to the chicken shed to one side, calling for the chicken, "Cocococo~~"

Pack after pack, the sweat on Ji Huai's forehead was slowly soaked by sweat, and the sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

The movement became more skilled, his back was numb, his feet were soft, and his hands trembled.

When Ji Huai moved the last bag of feed into the warehouse, he almost tripped over. After putting it down, he looked around the small warehouse made of cement. There were only two small windows, which were also sealed with feed bags.

In my childhood memories, there was a pile of fodder, and thirty packs were nothing but a small corner.

"Your grandson?"

"Not bad, not bad, this young man is not bad."

"Blessed, the young man is very nice and handsome."

....

Outside came the praise of the master and Wang Xiufen's cheerful laughter.

The next day, a car of ducklings was sent over. They were packed in bamboo cages. The feathers of the ducks had not grown much, only half the size of a palm.

One cage after another was placed in the enclosure. Ji Huai had no experience. Wang Xiufen stepped forward to help.

When the three thousand ducklings were put in, looking around, there was a piece of yellow hair, and the sound of "quack quack" reverberated everywhere.

Ji Huai looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This place restored what he remembered as vibrant.

The author has something to say: 　　 Good night, the little ducks are here, start raising ducks hahaha, be a hardworking duck raiser! ! !

Regarding the female lead tuition, Mi'er explained that some dears say that it is easy to apply for a student loan, and it is not possible to apply for it in the setting. The first is that there is no guarantor, and the second condition is too strict. If you change other methods, you can't apply.

According to Mi'er's understanding, there are only a few places in the school for student loans in some places. It is difficult to apply for and the cards are strict, just like some places are also strict in the application of grants. Student loans can be applied for at will, while student grants can only be applied by subsistence allowance holders, otherwise the student's place of origin will not be stamped.

This setting is also within a reasonable range.
