Wen Li reminded Su Hao and Deng Wei to remember to read the book.

The two of them weren't studious people, but after Wen Li hinted that the college entrance exam might be reinstated, they started to take it seriously.

Even if they don't like studying, they know the importance of academic qualifications, so they also pay attention to this issue.

Back at the educated youth compound, Wen Li distributed the repetitive study materials in two sets.

Chen Yan and Qi Jun share one set, and Su Hao and Deng Wei also share one set. Those who haven't found it, let them figure it out themselves.

The college entrance exam is still pending, and Wen Li hasn't urged them. For now, reading books to pass the time is fine, as it can be considered as reinforcing their knowledge.

Time flew by and it was the weekend, which was the time for Zhong Jun to treat everyone to dinner.

Li Xiangxiang arrived at the educated youth compound early in the morning on her family's old-fashioned bicycle.

After Wen Li and Chen Yan finished packing, the four of them rode their bicycles to the commune.

They ran into Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen again on the way.

It was obvious that even after so many setbacks, Jiang Yue'er had not given up on getting close to Old Madam Su.

Looks like they're really in a hurry!

When the two groups met, they both turned their heads away and refused to look at each other.

Jiang Yue'er glared at them fiercely and then said nothing more.

She was worried that if Wen Li said something she didn't want to hear, it would affect her relationship with Jiang Chen.

Once they were a bit further away, Li Xiangxiang told Wen Li, "Jiang Yue'er has been going to the Zhao family every day lately, but they were eventually kicked out by Brother Zhao, and that was the end of it. Later, they got to know the Zhao family's neighbors!"

"Xiaomai said that Jiang Yue'er has a good relationship with that family!"

Li Xiangxiang's face still showed worry.

Wen Li gestured for her not to worry.

Gu Huai told him about that family's situation immediately.

Although that family was also a neighbor of Old Mrs. Su, Old Mrs. Su did not like them. Gu Huai also found out that that family had once had ulterior motives towards the old lady.

Using the old lady's name, they tried to connect people with her adopted son and daughter, but the old lady found out and never liked the family again.

The old lady didn't want to make things too ugly since they were all neighbors, so not many people knew about it.

Even if Jiang Yue'er gets to know that family, it will only have the opposite effect.

Jiang Yue'er is still unaware of the situation, but she has already sent a lot of things to that family. Gu Huai guesses that in three days, Jiang Yue'er has already spent nearly fifty yuan.

Fifty yuan is two months' wages for an ordinary worker, and it would take a rural person more than half a year's work points to earn that much money.

That family has quite an appetite; let's see if Jiang Yue'er can fill this bottomless pit.

"It's okay, just pretend you don't know!"

"I'm also worried about Grandma Su's health. She had just started to feel a bit better recently, and now they've disturbed her. I'm worried that she won't be able to rest peacefully!"

Wen Li could tell that Li Xiangxiang was genuinely worried about Old Mrs. Su.

"The old lady didn't go to the hospital?"

"I went, the doctor said I'm too old!"

Li Xiangxiang was a little disappointed. The doctor had said that the old lady didn't actually have any major problems. It was just that she was old and her physical functions were gradually declining. In addition, she had suffered a lot in the past, so she was quite healthy to have lived to this day without any illness or disaster.

"Since she's been in much better spirits lately, it means there shouldn't be any major problems, so don't worry too much!"

"Um!"

When the group arrived at the commune, they planned to park their bicycles first. Zhong Jun was already waiting at the bicycle parking area.

As soon as they arrived, Zhong Jun took the lead in helping Li Xiangxiang park the car.

As soon as Wen Li parked her car, she saw Li Xiangxiang standing next to Zhong Jun, her ears slightly red.

She took a closer look and found that Zhong Jun had the kind of looks that everyone liked these days: thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and a height of just over 1.8 meters.

He had a buzz cut, healthy tan skin, and wore a green military uniform, looking very energetic.

Perhaps he was a little nervous; his body was somewhat tense.

Li Xiangxiang introduced them to him first, "These are my good friends, Wen and Chen, and this is Chen's husband—Qi!"

Zhong Jun greeted the group with a smile, and they became acquainted.

Wen Li could tell that he wasn't a talkative person, and it was only because Qi Jun brought up a topic that the atmosphere wasn't awkward.

The three girls followed behind, whispering to each other.

Chen Yan whispered, "He's quite good-looking!"

Wen Li secretly examined his feet. If he walked slowly, he walked like a normal person. Only when he walked faster could you see something unusual.

Seeing that his leg problems were not serious, Wen Li felt much relieved.

If the problem were too serious, Aunt Lin wouldn't agree to the marriage.

Moreover, judging from the way he chatted with Qi Jun, one could tell that this person spoke with substance and was someone who had a well-thought-out plan.

It was still early, so the group strolled around the small park next to the movie theater for a while.

It's the weekend now, and the small park is crowded, so they found a spot on the lawn to sit and chat.

Zhong Jun went and bought some melon seeds and drinks to share with the group.

"Sitting here is boring, let's eat something!"

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble!"

The park was crowded, and the group of people drank beverages and ate sunflower seeds. Before long, they became quite familiar with each other and started talking more freely.

The group chatted quite happily, and Wen Li and Chen Yan subtly inquired about Zhong Jun's family situation.

He didn't feel offended and patiently replied to each one.

Wen Li and Chen Yan both had a good impression of him, and after the meal, their relationship became much closer.

In the afternoon, they said goodbye. Zhong Jun took them to get their bicycles and watched them leave before turning back.

Chen Yan sat in the back seat behind Qi Jun. "Xiangxiang, Zhong Jun is a pretty good person. I can't find any fault with him!"

Qi Jun nodded in agreement, "That's right!"

Li Xiangxiang blushed again. "Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Wen Li thought for a moment before saying, "I think he's the kind of person who's rather assertive, but he doesn't have any major flaws!"

"He told me that his father died early, and his mother had a rather gentle personality. In the past, his relatives often bullied them, the widow and her orphan. That might be why he has a rather strong personality!"

Chen Yan: "That shows responsibility; she's known how to protect her mother since she was little!"

"We've only spent a few hours with him, and he seems like a decent person, but you're the one living the life, so you'd better observe him more closely, especially his relationship with his mother!"

Li Xiangxiang asked, puzzled, "Huh? Why?"

"His mother must have had a tough time raising him as a widow, and their bond must be very strong. If you have a conflict with his mother, he probably won't side with you!"

In today's interconnected world, Wen Li has seen many examples of "mama's boys" online.

Especially in situations like this, where the mother is an orphan and her son is widow, the son raised is most likely to become a "mama's boy."

However, the possibility that Zhong Jun was a "mama's boy" is extremely slim, given that he was able to join the military.

However, their deep affection for each other is undeniable. If her mother is a good-natured person, Li Xiangxiang's future will surely be bright.

But if her mother is a troublemaker, then Li Xiangxiang will definitely suffer a lot of grievances.
