The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 103: Planning for the Future Begins with Persuasion

Knowledge is invaluable, what you learn is yours, benefiting a lifetime.

Undeniably, generally speaking, people who receive higher education, whether in their demeanor or in their mental cultivation, tend to be a cut above the rest...

And the high school entrance exam and the college entrance exam are turning points for diligent students to change their fate. Many burn the midnight oil, spending money on tutoring classes like water flowing...

What Wang Miaomiao said made sense, but it was indeed to first persuade Wang Jia Bao.

She actually wanted Wang Jia Bao to first train in the army for a few years after graduating from high school, and then wait for the college entrance exam to resume before applying for university.

Wang Jia Bao is too spirited now, training in the military for a few years could quickly turn him into a reliable and responsible man.

However, the last time Jiang Yan mentioned joining the army, it seemed that Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan both did not agree, so she felt it should be approached gradually, so she couldn’t say it now.

But...

"Also, even though our country has suspended the college entrance examination, I believe it will surely resume soon. If you solidify your knowledge now, when the opportunity comes, getting into a good university and finding a job will be at a whole different level."

Jiang Yan was just watching Wang Miaomiao persuade, but hearing this, his expression became more serious.

"You tell me, would you rather be an ordinary worker being bossed around doing hard labor, or a leader who can easily manage others?" Wang Miaomiao lifted her chin slightly, asking leisurely.

Anyone with a bit of sense would know what to choose, right?

Wang Jia Bao was convinced by her, "So... should I continue studying?"

"That’s not a question, it should be a statement." Wang Miaomiao patted his shoulder, confidently encouraging, "Trust your sister, she won’t fool you. Besides, you’re the only one in the family now who doesn’t have to earn a living, we can fully support you, you just need to study hard without worries."

"Sister..." Wang Jia Bao grumbled, did she have to insult him like that...

"Hmm, good boy..." Wang Miaomiao patted his head, beaming with joy. Seeing him frustrated made her happy.

Everyone laughed watching the interaction between the siblings.

"Your sister makes perfect sense, knowledge is power, the more you learn, the better, so in the future, you can contribute to our motherland. Jia Bao, I have faith in you, keep it up."

Jiang Yan echoed Wang Miaomiao’s encouragement to Wang Jia Bao, gaining a big smile and an adoring look from him. Jiang Yan was now his idol...

After comforting Wang Jia Bao, Jiang Yan’s bright eyes turned to Wang Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, how do you know the college entrance exam will resume?"

Wang Miaomiao felt her heart flutter under his gaze, secretly bracing herself, she responded with innocent eyes, "I don’t know, I just think that with the country’s development, it surely needs more talents, and university is the place to select and cultivate top talents. Although I don’t know when the policy will open up, I believe that day will come. What we can do is be prepared, so when that day arrives, we can handle it without panic..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Jiang Yan couldn’t help nodding, looking at her eyes filled with joy, tenderness, and gratification. The person he liked was indeed extraordinary... forward-looking, broad-minded, and exceedingly intelligent...

Wang Miaomiao felt uneasy under his gaze, her ears turned red as she turned to talk to Cheng Xue, "Xiao Xue, would you like some more food? I’ll get you some..."

"No, I’m full. Sister Miaomiao, you’re amazing." If Wang Jia Bao’s idol was Jiang Yan, then Cheng Xue’s idol was Wang Miaomiao. In Cheng Xue’s eyes, Wang Miaomiao excelled in so much, good grades, painting skills, elegantly dressed, her behavior and demeanor were impeccable. Even though they were of the same age, Wang Miaomiao was someone she couldn’t reach...

Her little fangirl eyes sparkled at her, so adorable, making her genuinely happy, "You’re pretty great too, you advanced five places in the last monthly exam, study well tomorrow, aim for even better results this month."

"Uh... sure, okay..." On the topic of studying, Cheng Xue’s enthusiasm waned, so she quickly changed the subject, "Sister Pan Di, I also want a winter coat. When I buy cotton and fabric, could you make it for me, Sister Miaomiao, could you design a beautiful style for me?"

"Sure..." Wang Miaomiao readily agreed, after all, winter clothing styles should be prepared.

"Xiao Xue, you don’t need to prepare the cotton and fabric separately, Auntie is going to buy a lot, we can buy it together then, and let your Sister Pan Di make it for you, you can wear it directly." Liu Yulan quickly offered, planning to make clothes for Cheng Xue as a token of appreciation to Jiang Yan and Cheng Xue.

Although Jiang Yan said no thanks were needed, Liu Yulan kept the favor in mind, always wanting to be better to this nephew-niece pair.

"Huh?" Cheng Xue wasn’t naive, she quickly looked at Jiang Yan, seeking his approval, seeing his slight nod, she smiled and thanked Liu Yulan and Wang Pandi, "Then thank you, Auntie and Sister Pan Di."

"Oh, no need to be so polite." Liu Yulan was even happier seeing their agreement.

An enigmatic light flitted across Jiang Yan’s eyes, his lips curved slightly, evidently quite satisfied. Interaction and reciprocity are at the heart of building long-lasting relationships.

Although there were a few surprises during dinner, in general, it was harmonious and joyous.

Regarding the five spots for the village, the truth is, no one is particularly close to Liu Yulan. As for before, let’s not even mention it, it was good enough if no one stepped on her while she was down. Over the last six months, though, because of the marriage between Yang Zhigang and Wang Pandi, she had gradually gotten closer to Zhou Fengjuan.

So, one spot was designated for Zhou Fengjuan’s eldest son, Wang Youcheng. Zhou Fengjuan was extremely grateful knowing this, feeling indescribably touched. Henceforth, she paid even more attention to Wang Baoxing’s household, ensuring anyone in the village who dared to speak ill of them would face her first.

Another spot went to a branch of the Wang Family, known for their honesty and decency, and one of the few families that hadn’t hit her when she was down.

Another spot was given to Li Sanfu to arrange. Although Liu Yulan bore a grudge against the Li Family, she recognized Li Sanfu as a good person, who occasionally spoke fair words over the years. Considering his kindness, she decided not to hold a grudge against those people.

The final two spots were arranged by the village head, designated for the Zhang Family, but clearly not for Zhang Rongfa’s household.

The feud between the Wang and Zhang families had become irreconcilable.

Zhang Bingkun was a sensible person, valuing the Wang Family for the benefits they brought to the village. As for Zhang Family’s Zhang Rongfa, alas... A wise man marries a virtuous wife, but as Zhang Rongfa couldn’t control his wife, they had to be given up.
