Xiumin quickly explained: "That's not entirely the case. It's because of the money. You also know the conditions of my family. Even if you don't have to worry about tuition fees, you still have living expenses. If I have to work-study when I get there, I might as well stay here.

In China, my starting point is already at the upper level of the pyramid, so why should I be dissatisfied and try to climb to the top that is extremely inconsistent with my family’s conditions?”

"If that's the case, maybe we can help you get the money together,"

Xiumin refused again: "No, I think it's good now. After graduation, I can enter the Provincial Medical College. If I work hard, I can also enter the Union Medical College. There are only so many years in this life, so why waste time until you don't get it?"

To be honest, even if you can help me raise this money, I will still have to pay it back in the future. I already owe you too much and I don’t want to bear this kind of debt anymore."

What Xiumin said was sincere. She was just an ordinary rural girl. She got to where she is today through meeting Ding Wei.

She is very satisfied. Such a life has surpassed 80% of ordinary people. What else is she dissatisfied with?

Ding Jianping was secretly relieved because of Xiumin's decision. In fact, he was also worried that if she went to country M, when the distance between them became wider and wider, no matter how great the kindness was, there would be no results.

Ding Jianping even regretted why he didn't take the exam for two more years. If he could get into Capital University or Huada, would he be able to become alumni with Ding Wei and the others?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and his life is not that unbearable yet. Bringing the two people closer is the direction he needs to work hard in the future.

***

Ding Xiang stayed in the capital for a week and couldn't sit still. It happened that Ding Jianping also needed to rush to school early for his internship, so in mid-August, the two of them returned to their hometown L City from the capital, along with Chen Xiumin.

, Xiumin did not give tutoring classes to students this summer, but worked for Ding Zhenlong and his wife, and took care of their children, earning an income of fifteen yuan a month.

There was still half a month before school started, so Xiumin took this opportunity to go back to her hometown with her brother and sister Ding Jianping.

After Dingxiang received the admission notice, she started packing her luggage for the Magic City.

Ding Jianping remembered Ding Wei's instructions: "Your sister told you to bring a few changes of summer clothes. You don't need to bring anything else. You can buy them somewhere else. The weather there is different from ours. Your brother is here."

When I was in school in Guangshi, I didn’t even use a mattress, so I slept on a mat for several years.”

Ding Xiang twitched her lips and said, "I know, my sister has already told me, and she also said that she would send me new clothes when the time comes, and not let me bring so many useless things. The journey is long and too much luggage will be very troublesome."

"You should keep the money your sister gives you, and be careful when you are away from home, especially your roommates. There are people from all over the world, and we don't know what their temperaments are, so be careful first.

, don’t be stupid and tell others everything, girls can’t be too kind, do you understand?”

My parents and sisters had already told me these words repeatedly. Unexpectedly, the third brother also started to be verbose, but Ding Xiang was a good child and listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"You still have military training. You will report to school on August 20th. Tomorrow you will go to the provincial capital with me and take a bus directly from the provincial capital to Shanghai without having to transfer back and forth. Are any of your classmates going with you? Yes.

Why don't you go with me?"

Ding Xiang shook her head directly, "Most of them have never traveled far, so they are all given by their parents. I don't need them. I can just go by myself."

"Is it possible that you still want to go with the one from Hubei?" Ding Jianping mentioned Tang Wenming, his expression was not friendly.

"I do think so, but it's quite troublesome to go back and forth. Forget it, I'll go by myself. Wouldn't it be more convenient to take a bus towards the provincial capital?"

Ding Xiang does not like to rely on others. On the contrary, she is very independent and has her own ideas. After all, Ding Wei personally brought her up, so she is certainly not an ordinary little girl who has never seen the world.

Ding Xiang chose this time to return to her hometown, and the media's interest in her was naturally reduced a lot. However, the school actively took a photo with her and even gave her a stipend of 500 yuan, which made Ding Xiang feel bad.

Favored. Ruo frightened.

Although she was surprised, Lilac felt that the money should be donated to students who needed it more, but the school asked her to accept it.

"This is a special case for you as the number one scholar in liberal arts, but not everyone has it. When your sister was the number one scholar in science, the school originally planned to reward her with a thousand yuan, but she declined. Now if you refuse again,

It's somewhat unreasonable. You two sisters, please stop being so alienated from the school. We all know your family's situation. It's not easy for everyone. If the school donates some money, won't you not have to ask your family for money in a few years? Yourself

Save up and eat well, it's better than anything else."

Such thoughtful words moved Ding Xiang to tears. She finally accepted the money. With the school's blessing, she and her brother took the train to the provincial capital. They stayed in a guest house that night and were picked up early the next morning.

My brother sent me on the train to Shanghai.

After Ding Jianping got on the bus at Dingxiang, he went to the bus station opposite and got on the bus bound for K City. He was so close that he could arrive in an hour or two.

What Ding Xiang bought was a hard seat. It was difficult to buy a sleeper berth without a letter of introduction from the company. Moreover, she was so young that there was no need to sleep there.

Ding Wei gave Ding Xiang 100 yuan, and the school gave her another 500 yuan. She carefully sewed the 600 yuan into the clothes she carried with her. She did not dare to sew it on one piece of clothing, and divided it into many pieces of clothing.

It was sewn, and she still had more than 20 yuan in change in her hand. She planned to save the money first after arriving in the magic city, which would be safer.

Lilac has less luggage, and she is alone. She has to carry her own luggage when going to the toilet. Eating is even easier. When the conductor comes pushing the trolley, she will see if there is anything she needs, or if the train is near the station.

Sometimes, I buy some at the window. Anyway, I've dealt with it. If I can't go out, I won't go out, otherwise my seat will be taken away.

When strangers in the car talked to her, she would just nod politely, but never say a word about herself. When asked, she would only say that she was visiting relatives, and would not reveal which stop she got off at. She always kept her family in mind.

She was told not to talk too much with strangers. No matter whether it was an old man or an old lady, a middle-aged man or a young man, she had to be on guard. She was unprepared on the train before and was almost kidnapped.

Let's go, if it weren't for Tang Wenming...

Mentioning Tang Wenming, Dingxiang always felt that something seemed to have changed since he came to her house. She still remembered the day he left, when she said goodbye to him, he just nodded indifferently and left, but she didn't.

Say a word to her, and she is not stupid. She can also see why his attitude towards her changed, and she also understands why her sister told her that night.

"If you arrive in the Magic City and Tang Wenming doesn't come to you, don't go to him. Remember my words, don't be too proactive. It's better for girls to be more reserved. He doesn't owe us anything. I help him because he saved me.

Please don’t mention too many past things in front of him. We girls in the Ding family should look forward, don’t look back, and don’t be greedy for superficial things. When you get to the magic city, you will find that outstanding men

There are so many children, why should we have unrequited love for a flower?"

Ding Wei would not force her sister to fall in love with her father. In her opinion, it was her blessing that Tang Wenming was admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. After he realized the gap between their two families, he tried to make things short.

Distance or complete separation from Ding Xiang, she was not sure. She just wanted to test how she would choose in the end.

As for her younger sister Dingxiang, maybe it is just a simple infatuation, not unforgettable. As long as she is exposed to other outstanding boys, maybe she will not be so keen on pursuing Tang Wenming. She will treat their feelings like ordinary parents, and she should not

It’s only right that there are too many emotions from past lives mixed into it.

It is said that a father's love is as strong as a mountain. Tangyuan, who has been accustomed to being independent since she was a child, is actually closer to her mother. Her father is always away from home and has little communication. It is impossible to say that she has no feelings, but let her be the one between Chen Xiumin and Tang Wenming.

If given a choice, she would choose her mother, not her father.

To be honest, Dad, for any family, the contribution is not as much as that of the mother. No matter whether the son or the daughter, he is always close to the mother. The father who bears the burden of the family is often not at home, lacking substantive communication and understanding.

In Tangyuan's eyes, he is closer than a stranger, and he sees his classmates more often than he does.

In this case, Ding Wei will only help the Tang family to live a better life. Anyway, Xiumin will be with her third brother in this life. Her father should choose another spouse. No matter whether she is Dingxiang or not in the future, how much will she give to this man?

years of room for growth.

The current Tang Wenming is too immature, everything is written on his face, so how can he succeed?

With Ding Wei in charge of the situation at home, Zhao Qingqing and Ding Zhenlong don't need to worry so much.

This matter is not only reflected in the twin daughters at home, the settlement of mother and daughter Jiang Ni, the livelihood of sisters Tan Yue, and even the youngest daughter admitted to college, they don't think it is anything strange in their eyes, and there is no need for it.

After preparing the bedding, he finally got there to buy a new one. Knowing that his eldest daughter would be busy sending it to Ding Xiang in the near future, Zhao Qingqing simply didn't care about anything and left all the power to Ding Wei.

Ding Wei started making thin mattresses and quilts for Dingxiang after she left. She also bought her brand new towels, quilts, and blankets. She also picked out seven or eight pieces suitable for Dingxiang from the clothes she brought back last time.

Summer clothes and spring and autumn clothes. The winter in the Magic City is not as cold as in southern Henan Province, so she made her a winter bedding set based on the temperature of ten degrees Celsius.

In the end, I packed up three bags and took them to the post office on a tricycle. I mailed them to her according to the address of Dingxiang University.

Daily necessities such as kettles and basins can be purchased directly from the school’s supply and marketing cooperative.
