Su Yin earned 10 yuan from two royalties. After deducting the 20 cents she spent on pastries and the 3.5 yuan she spent on second-hand books, she still had 6.30 yuan left. Adding her own savings, she had 20 yuan in total.

On the first day, Qian Jingfang gave Su Yin 10 yuan as pocket money as instructed by her father-in-law, but Su Yin kept the money and didn't spend it.

Living in Gu's house every day, she didn't need to spend money on food and clothing. She just planned to earn money and save money for college in the future, and also prepare some gifts for Gu's family.

At the end of August, Su Yin went to the supply and marketing cooperative where Song Yuan worked to buy wool to knit a sweater. She asked Song Yuan about it, and found out that the temperature here will start to drop at the end of October, and the sweater will come in handy then.

In the past, Su Yin's family didn't have money to buy new wool to knit sweaters, so they mostly took apart old sweaters and knitted them again. In this way, she also practiced a good skill, and she could always knit her grandfather's and her own sweaters with fine stitches.

"What color do you want? They are all wool, and they will be comfortable to wear when the time comes." As an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative, Song Yuan always had some benefits, and she kept the beautiful colors and didn't sell them.

Su Yin picked black, yellow, red, blue and cyan wool, enough for five people and some left over, and spent a total of 6.2 yuan.

I went to the post office again and saw the theme of the call for articles in this issue of the Provincial Daily. I asked around and bought another newspaper and a magazine. I was not familiar with the theme of this issue of the Provincial Daily, so I had to find another way.

After returning to Gu's house, I read the call for articles in the Beijing Morning Post and Youth Magazine, and wrote 2,000-word manuscripts respectively. I went out and mailed them the next day.

In the days that followed, Su Yin lived a life of reading books, knitting sweaters, and reading storybooks.

When Qian Jingfang got home from get off work, she saw Su Yin knitting a sweater with great dexterity, and her eyes lit up. "Why are you knitting a sweater? It's very beautiful."

She came from a wealthy family and had never done any work since she was a child, let alone knitting a sweater. But she could see that the small section of sweater knitted by Su Yin had fine stitches.

The old lady sitting next to her in the sun was wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper. "Yinyin is promising! She made money by submitting articles to the newspaper and bought wool to make sweaters for us."

"Submitting articles to the newspaper?" Qian Jingfang leaned over to take a look and was really surprised. "This child is capable."

Auntie Wu was breaking corn and was even more excited when she heard it. "People who have studied are different! My cousin just read a few sentences and I think it's well written."

Su Yin was praised over and over again by several people and almost blushed.

At dinner, when the old man mentioned this at the dinner table, even Gu Kangcheng cast a look of approval.

"Very good, Cheng'an, look at how motivated your sister Su Yin is, you should be more careful too."

Gu Cheng'an glanced at Su Yin in front of him and nodded in agreement.

"Yin Yin has made great progress, I will reward you twenty yuan on behalf of the family!" The older the old man gets, the more he understands the importance of culture, but it's a pity that there is no college entrance examination now. "Originally, I wanted to let you take good care of your body at home first, and then see if there is a chance to get you a recommendation for workers, peasants and soldiers. It's good for the little girl to study more and go to college."
