She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s

Who doesn't want their children to succeed and eventually have a secure job in the city?

That's truly something to bring honor to the family.

All it takes is to support the children through middle school, high school, and college, with sponsorship from the team.

Encourage the children to study, study.

I have to say, this initiative has made Zhao Family Village Team famous throughout the town again.

It has provided many children with a chance at education, whether they are girls or boys from struggling families, offering them an opportunity to study and move out.

Even the admission rate in Zhao Family Village Team ranks first in the town, although these are stories for another time.

"Dad hasn't come back yet?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the couple. "Your dad is busy at the team office. The announcement was made on the radio this morning, and many people went there to ask if it's true. But our team offers high school, technical secondary school, and college."

Among so many children, few get to attend high school, technical school, or college.

"That's pretty good."

Mrs. Zhao worried about how much they would have to give out this time.

And might not even receive any thanks.

In the end, it was Zhao Tianlei who went to deliver the meal and saw people still surrounding his dad in the team office.

"Zhao Laosan is here."

At the call, the previously noisy team office suddenly quieted down.

Those who give money are honored.

"I'm here to register for you. Let my dad eat first."

Eat?

Is it already time to eat?

"Let the team leader eat first. We're not in a hurry," said one aunt awkwardly.

"Come one by one, preferably without hiding anything during registration. If anyone does hide anything, all sponsorship for their children will be canceled."

These words made many aunts gasp.

"I studied my way out, went to university for several years, and understand the bustling world outside. Setting up sponsorship now, I hope they won't be hindered by external factors stopping them from studying, leaving them only in our rural area backed by mountains, giving them a chance to bring honor to the family."

The last line has a special allure.

Zhao Tianlei did it on purpose.

Sometimes, competition is a good thing.

Especially in studying.

When the neighboring family has a university student, the whole family feels honored. Would you feel content if your family doesn't have a university student?

The children of Zhao Family Village have no idea what they are about to face.

They are still eating candies and seeds, living their innocent first day of the Lunar New Year.

Captain Zhao sat nearby, eating, genuinely hungry, speaking and explaining all the time.

Zhao Tianlei worked quickly, answering their questions while registering.

He finished registering quickly.

"My dad will verify as soon as possible. Before school starts, you'll receive the funds for your children."

The father and son didn't speak along the way.

"Laosan, I remember when I became team leader, I just wanted to make sure the members were able to eat, especially during those two drought years. Aside from the deep mountains, which we didn't dare to approach, we even peeled bark to eat. But even so, a few people in the village starved. Now, with economic reform and opening-up, the world outside is thriving."

"Yeah, my power may be small, but I can pass it on."

"Yes, let's go home."

At this moment, Captain Zhao felt that his son has grown up, no longer as mischievous as when he was young, no longer rebellious as in his youth.

This son, he almost sent him to join the army back then, but he didn't want to go.

He didn't walk that path, but he found another.

Their team now has electricity, is self-sufficient, villagers can earn money while sitting at home, their team has a food factory, they've built roads, and now their team can sponsor a dream for those who wish to study.
