After leaving the matter to Ma Liguo, Shen Yunfang continued with her own final exams.
Mid-January of 1980, Agricultural University went on holiday, and Shen Yunfang finally had some free time and started to get busy tidying up the courtyard house.
In December, she wrote to Li Xianglian, asking their family to come over in mid-January to help her with some work. If she had said it was for a visit, they might not have come, but to ask for help with work, with Big Sister Li's temperament, they would definitely come on time. Of course, she also sent along the money for their train tickets with the letter.
Li Xianglian's family would be staying almost until after the New Year, which was not a short time, and staying upstairs would be somewhat inconvenient. Li Xianglian's family wouldn't be comfortable either, so she thought about tidying up the courtyard house so that her family could stay there.
