Ning Hua, who has just entered high school, is timid and lonely, although her academic performance has always been among the best, but Ning Hua, who dresses old-fashioned and rarely goes to the city, looks so out of place with the classmates around her.

She has never played in all kinds of interesting places that her classmates have visited, she has never tasted all kinds of delicious food eaten by her classmates, and she has never been to all kinds of interesting travel experiences and stories that her classmates have said. She really wanted to chat with her classmates and be friends, but her classmates seemed unwilling to accept this dirty and stupid girl, and even some boys in the class laughed at Ninghua Hillbilly. These all deeply pierced Ning Hua's sensitive and fragile heart. She gave up socializing, she gave up the idea of wanting to be friends with her classmates, and devoted herself to studying, but it always seemed to backfire, and the more she wanted to concentrate on her studies, the more her academic performance fell.

The teacher called her parents to report her academic performance, and in the face of her father's questioning, Ning Hua didn't dare to tell her father about the situation in school, she had no way to say that her classmates' parents were the children of high-ranking officials and cadres were intellectuals, and she couldn't tell her father about her inferiority complex in her heart. Because she is too sensible, she doesn't want her parents to be sad or sad. She felt that the only thing she could do was to work hard to get into a good university. She could only lie to her father because she didn't adapt to the teaching environment in the city. Ning Hua said this, and his father didn't say anything anymore, and his father also knew in his heart that he couldn't give Ning Hua better living conditions and material conditions, and it was normal for him to have a gap with the children in the city.

It wasn't until Li Xiao transferred to Ning Hua's class in the second period of the first year of high school that Ning Hua's grades slowly improved, and Ning Hua had his first friend here. Li Xiao is sunny and cheerful, like a beam of sunshine shining into Ning Hua's heart, she does not dislike Ning Hua's ignorance, is willing to accept and help Ning Hua, and is willing to be friends with Ning Hua. She will share her experience with Ning Hua, her parents went to Guangzhou with her parents when they were young to do business in Guangzhou, and have been to many big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, as well as abroad. This is very powerful for Ning Hua, who has never even been out of the province and city, Li Xiao is very powerful, he has seen so many scenery and visited so many cities. Because Li Xiao's parents divorced, Li Xiao followed her mother back to her hometown. When she talked about this, Ning Hua felt a little sad, such a good child did not have a complete home, and she felt a little sorry for Li Xiao. However, Li Xiao is very optimistic, she said that he is used to his parents who are nothing, as long as their parents are doing well, she believes that her parents still love her. Yes, Li Xiao is very optimistic and cheerful, and Ning Hua is also deeply infected by this optimism. Sometimes Li Xiao will share his own things with Ning Hua, and there are many things that Ning Hua has never seen. She will also give her beautiful clothes to Ning Hua. Ning Hua felt that she was really lucky to be able to make a friend like Li Xiao. At the same time, she cherishes this friendship very much, and also shares what she has with Li Xiao.

Since the second semester, Ning Hua's grades have improved a lot, and classes are not so difficult. Sometimes she will explain to Li Xiao a lot of topics she doesn't understand. Ning Hua also slowly became smiling, her mentality became much better, and she gradually had new friends in the class, she felt that these changes were brought to her by Li Xiao. Li Xiao helped her change, she helped Li Xiao study, and the relationship between the two became better and better, so they became good girlfriends. When he was a freshman in high school, Ning Hua asked Li Xiao, "Do you choose liberal arts or science?" and "liberal arts" Li Xiao replied. "What about you", "I'm the same as you," Ning Hua replied without thinking.

Three years of inseparable mutual help have imprinted a deep friendship between Ning Hua and Li Xiao.

During the college entrance examination, Ninghua finally lived up to expectations and handed in a satisfactory answer sheet to himself and his parents with a score of more than 20 points above the first line. The moment she knew her results, she burst into tears. Yes, she is a crying child, whether happy or sad. Both parents were very happy, and my father was even more happy when he looked at the report card. Ning Hua understands her father too well, and at the same time she feels sorry for her father, the four-year tuition fee is a big burden for this family, the mother is not in good health at home, and all the burden falls on the shoulders of the father alone. She secretly vowed to work harder in college and let her parents live a good life in the future.

Li Xiao also did well in the exam, and he also got on the line.

Ning Hua gave up her dream of being a flight attendant, and when she listened to her father's words and filled in the college volunteer, the first thing that popped up in her head was to go to the same school as Li Xiao. She even felt that if she didn't have Li Ming's help in high school, she might not be able to get into college. So Ning Hua and Li Xiao applied for the same major they studied, but Ning Hua's college entrance examination score was much higher than Li Xiao's, so Ning Hua was admitted to the first major of his first choice, but Li Xiao did not, and was later transferred to the human resources major. But the two of them can still be in the same school, and they are already very content......

New to university...... On the first day of registration, Ning Hua's father accompanied her and Li Xiao, and Ning Hua, who came to the big city for the first time, felt fresh and curious about everything. With the high-rise buildings rising from the ground, the endless flow of vehicles and people in the streets and alleys, she marveled at the wisdom of the city's pioneers to create such a beautiful, prosperous and vibrant city...... From the moment she stepped off the train and stepped into the city, she fell in love with it.

Entering the campus, Ning Hua was also full of curiosity and surprise, the campus of the university is so big, Ning Hua thinks that this is really a "big" school. From their dormitory to the school building to the library to the playground, it takes 20 minutes to walk in a circle. There is also the unique youthful atmosphere of the school campus, looking at the classmates from all over the country who are so cute and kind, Ning Hua feels that everything is beautiful at the moment.

She was happy, excited, and felt extremely happy, thinking about whether the girls of the same age in her hometown were either married and had children, or they dropped out of school early to enter the factory to do the most tiring work, and took the least amount of money to subsidize the family or support the younger siblings at home, thinking about how lucky she felt. Although she was a little apprehensive and scared when she first entered the university and came to the big city, she felt full of strength when she looked at her father and his best friend who entered the university together. She is full of expectations and hopes for the future, she sees a broad road to the future, she fantasizes about her four years of college life and her future life, maybe one day in the future she will also gain a foothold in this city, will find a lovely person in this lovely city, and then have a lovely home...... Thinking of this, she smiled, smiled so beautifully, smiled so purely, smiled so beautifully......

College life began, but not long after entering the university, Ning Hua's mother became even sicker, and her mother's health has always been very bad, especially after giving birth to Ning Hua, she has not been well rested and recuperated, and she has been suffering from minor illnesses, and the family has no money for treatment, and minor illnesses have become major illnesses for decades. And Ninghua's father has always relied on working as a coolie on the construction site to obtain financial resources, and now the older his father gets, the worse his health is, and the less money he earns...... When his father told him about the situation at home on the phone, Ning Hua put down the phone and cried sadly.

Ning Hua knows her father's difficulties, knows the difficulties of the family, she usually saves money and never spends a penny, she studies hard and must get a scholarship every year, as long as she has free time, she goes out to work part-time, distributes leaflets in the high temperature, pretends to be a puppet in the scorching heat, and transfers to a few hours in the cold winter to be a tutor...... As long as she can make money, she doesn't feel bitter and tired at all. Compared with Ning Hua's classmates and roommates, Ning Hua is so mature that it makes people feel distressed, they don't have a sick mother at home, they don't have a father who works extremely hard, they don't need to go out to work part-time, as long as they tell their parents every month that they have no money, their family will immediately send money over. When Ning Hua was handing out flyers, they were lying on the bed in the dormitory playing with their mobile phones, chasing dramas and playing games; when Ning Hua was a tutor, they were traveling everywhere with the money given by their parents; when Ning Hua was dressing up as a doll, they were talking about a beautiful relationship with the boy they liked. They have beautiful and trendy clothes, a wide range of cosmetics and skincare products, and the latest electronics of the season...... Ning Hua didn't have any of these, all she thought about was how to work part-time to earn more money, how to improve her family's economic conditions, and how to work hard to get a scholarship.

Although there is such a big gap with his classmates and roommates in the family environment and growth background, Ning Hua does not have the childishness and worry of high school at this time. Seeing more people and more scenery, Ning Hua knows that every individual is different, she is lucky to be here, she is happy, and she has parents who love her. Most importantly, she has hope for the future, she feels that her future is in her own hands, and her parents and girlfriends are people she can rely on.

And Li Xiao, when she was in college, her mother remarried someone else and gave birth to a little brother to him, her father also got together with the junior who cheated at the time, and both parents didn't have too much energy and love to use on her, except for tuition fees and living expenses necessary every month, there was no extra money for her. She also talked about a few boyfriends during college, but in the end, they all ended up with various problems. Ning Hua felt that these things had a certain impact on Li Xiao, she seemed to be quietly changing, but Ning Hua couldn't feel where she had changed, she was still the same as before to Ning Hua, sometimes the two of them also went out to work part-time together, chatted together, looked forward to the future together, made good wishes together, talked about the handsome guys and beauties in the school together, and shared the ups and downs of life together.

In this way, time flies and the four years of college life pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye it comes to the second semester of the fourth year, and there are so many things in this period, such as internships to graduate, job hunting, and leaving school. Ning Hua has not asked her family for money since the second year of college, and her tuition and living expenses are earned by her scholarship and her usual part-time job, and occasionally she will buy some food and clothes for her parents during the New Year's holidays.

When dusk came next night, Ning Hua sat on the quiet playground of the campus and thought that his hard work and efforts in the past few years had not been in vain, his mother's body gradually improved after treatment, and his father's burden was also reduced a lot, and now he was about to graduate and leave school, and he was going to work, and he would earn more money to treat his mother in the future, so that his father could have a good rest. But looking at the pair of lovers holding hands and walking on the playground, she felt some regrets, she was busy studying and making money in the past few years, and she had not been in a relationship on campus, nor did she have excellent boys who chased her, but she did not dare and did not want to spend time and energy on falling in love out of more or less inferiority complex and family environment...' It is said that college life is incomplete without falling in love, and it would be better if you could fall in love at the last moment of college life, Xiaoxiao has been in love several times, and her appearance, figure and height are no worse than Xiaoxiao in all aspects, but she has never been in love once. Ning Hua thought to himself.

In front of Ning Hua, a couple who had just finished running and resting sat down, the girl wiped the sweat beads for the boy, and the boy rubbed the shoulders and beat the back for the girl, and suddenly this idea in his heart became even stronger.
