Over there, Lin Shan had already organized the villagers to start dealing with the wild boar.

"This pig weighs over 300 jin. Each household can get a share, and we'll give Comrade Lin Yu an extra 20 jin. Do you agree?"

After all, she caught the pig, so it's only right that she gets a bigger share.

The members all agreed.

Lin Yu happily chose pork ribs, as the wild boar meat was too tough and old, while the ribs were more tender.

Their family also likes to eat pork ribs.

The other members were also overjoyed when they received their share of meat.

That night, the air above the entire brigade was filled with the aroma of meat.

Lin Yujia did the same; she added ginger and scallions to the bones and the meat she received to remove the fishy smell, and stewed them together with a lot of seasonings and pickled cabbage.

On a winter night, being able to have such a meal is enough to warm you up from the inside out.

The children ate with gusto, their mouths greasy, and they admired Lin Yu even more.

"There's still some left. We'll eat it when Da Niu comes home tomorrow. Uncle, remember the chicken you wanted to buy."

She hadn't forgotten that Lin Jianguo had said he would pay for chickens for the children.

Now Erniu and Xiaobao have both eaten, leaving only Daniu, who is studying in the city.

I know the school food isn't very good, so I need to give her some extra nutrition when she gets home.

Although Lin Yu caught a pheasant, Lin Jianguo's sentiment was the most important thing, so she still insisted on buying the pheasant from the buyer.

Lin Jianguo quickly said, "I'll go buy it tomorrow."

He knew that Lin Yu was standing up for Da Niu.

He didn't understand these things before; he only knew that as long as the children were fed and clothed, that was enough.

I didn't think about anything related to sexism.

It was only after Lin Yu reminded him that he gradually realized that some of his natural behaviors were wrong and would hurt the child's feelings.

The eldest daughter is very sensible, and now that the family's life is better, we have to treat her better.

As for Wang Zhaodi, after she got a job and saw that women could earn money every month, she changed her mind.

Although a girl will eventually get married, she can still earn money for her.

In order to ensure that her children will be filial to her in the future, she is now treating her eldest and second daughters very well.

Of course, her heart is still biased, that much is undeniable.

In her heart, her favorite child has always been Xiaobao.

Lin Yu was relieved to find that Xiao Bao was a good boy. He was very kind to his two older sisters and would save the best food for his eldest sister.

So when Da Niu got her final exam results and returned home, she was warmly welcomed by her family.

The candy Xiaobao gave me still carried his warmth; it had melted a little, but it was still so sweet when I ate it.

It was so sweet it touched her heart.

Her parents even bought a chicken, and Lin Yu stewed the chicken and bones together.

The chicken drumsticks and meat were placed in Da Niu's bowl.

This was the first time she had ever eaten so much meat at once.

Da Niu pursed her lips and smiled. She felt that today was the happiest day of her life.

After dinner, Da Niu told Lin Yu about her grades.

She is better at humanities subjects; science and mathematics are really difficult for her.

As soon as she moved up to the first year of high school, she felt overwhelmed.

At that time, schools didn't value education much. No matter how hard the teachers taught, it was useless. The students were just there to get a diploma.

Since they can't take the college entrance exam now, all they need to do is get their diplomas and find a job.

The poor learning environment made it difficult for Da Niu to integrate.

Fortunately, she excelled in humanities subjects, and her Chinese language score was the highest in the class.

She writes very well, and some of her articles have even been published in newspapers.

The teacher liked this student very much and knew that she wanted to study hard, so she often gave her extra help.

She gradually managed to get good scores in subjects she wasn't good at.

In her first year, during the first semester's final exams, she ranked fifteenth.

There are 35 students in the class, and she is considered to be in the upper-middle range.

The results are neither good nor bad.

The eldest daughter, however, was not satisfied; she wanted to be in the top ten!

Lin Yu thought it was good that she was motivated, after all, the college entrance examination would be reinstated in the future, and if she didn't study hard now, she probably wouldn't be able to pass it in the future.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Moreover, the admission rate was extremely low when the college entrance examination was first reinstated.

"Then you should study hard and major in Chinese literature in the future, then you can become a writer."

"You can't go to university now, sister."

Lin Yu whispered to her, "I think it will recover someday. How can it stay like this forever? And that day shouldn't be far away, at most ten or eight years."

"You were only a few years old then, in your early twenties, the prime of your life. You had to be prepared."

Although she thought Lin Yu might just be fantasizing, Da Niu still believed him.

In her mind, Lin Yu was omnipotent, so if she said that, it proved that this matter was indeed possible.

Da Niu made up her mind that even after leaving school, she would study hard and prepare herself.

Seeing that Da Niu knew what she was doing, Lin Yu felt relieved.

Opportunity favors the prepared mind. By the time news of the resumption of the college entrance examination arrives, it will be too late to prepare.

So many educated youth sent to the countryside, recent high school graduates, and members of the "Old Three Classes" (referring to students who graduated from high school in the late 1960s, 1966, and 1967).

The competition was so fierce that Lin Yu felt it would be very difficult just thinking about it.

However, in this day and age, being able to get into a junior college means a promising future.

If we don't set our goals too high, maybe we can actually get our daughter into university.

As for Lin Yu herself, to be honest, she didn't want to go to university.

In her memory, she had already graduated from university when she transmigrated.

Before regaining her past life memories, she was someone who had finished high school and had enough to do whatever she wanted.

She didn't like studying either, but she thought that when the world opened up, she could go out and make money.

The year was 1972, six years before the opening up began.

Lin Yu thought she would live with her parents and family in Lianhua Brigade until she went out to make her own way in the world.

Unexpectedly, the first person to leave this family was Lin Laosan...

On the train, the researchers were separated and escorted by several soldiers.

The investigative team kept coming in waves, and the situation was very dangerous.

The two stern-faced menacing men in the same carriage as Lin Laosan and his wife asked them a few questions and then left.

He came back a short while later, looking flustered as if he wanted to escape, but he couldn't bear to leave his things in the carriage.

With a "click," Lin Laosan opened the door and pulled his wife and the two enthusiastic women out together.

He shouted loudly, "He's here!"

The two men inside had murderous intent in their eyes and were about to go out and kill someone when they saw several soldiers coming over.

Gu Yunze was somewhat surprised to see Lin Laosan, but he didn't have a chance to ask him.

The panicked expressions on their faces told Gu Yunze that something was wrong.

Several soldiers swarmed forward, using an encirclement tactic, and arrested the man.

One of the people inside reached out and grabbed Lin Shengli, who was standing in front and had just deliberately shouted for help.

Gu Yunze's eyes visibly showed panic. This was his future father-in-law; if something happened to him under his nose, Lin Yu would probably never speak to him again...
