Han Weixian shook his head. He had thought about this problem a long time ago.

He has two brothers-in-law in the army, so it is easier for him to join the army than for others.

But he didn't want to.

His eldest brother worked as a track construction worker at the railway bureau, living far away from his parents, and could only go home a few times a year.

If he joins the army, his condition will be even worse than his older brother's. In serious cases, he may not be able to go home for several years.

His sister married and moved away, and his elder brother worked far away, so he had no choice but to stay.

If you can get into college, work hard to get into college, and after graduation, work hard to bring your parents to you.

Han Fengzhi was puzzled. "How many people are scrambling to get a quota to join the army? Don't you really want it?"

Han Weixian said seriously: “I don’t want to join the army.”

“I still like reading.”

Han Fengzhi asked worriedly, "But what if the college entrance examination hasn't been resumed by the time you graduate?"

"The college entrance examination will be resumed one day. Even if I can't wait, it won't be difficult for me to find a job as an elementary school teacher with my high school diploma."

"Sister, don't worry about me."

After listening to Han Weixian's words, Han Fengzhi said nothing more.

Su Nuan listened quietly at the side. Seeing Han Weixian's firm attitude towards studying, she felt relieved.

It is now 1976, and the college entrance examination will be resumed next year. Han Weixian will graduate next year and will catch up with a good era.

As long as you get into a college or above, you will be assigned a job after graduation, and those with better conditions can even get a house.

If you don't love being a soldier, there is no need to give up this shortcut to changing your life - the college entrance examination.

In the evening, Grandma Ling prepared four dishes and a soup, including braised pork, tomato and egg soup, cold cucumber and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Han Weixian had a good appetite and ate three bowls of rice.

Su Nuan gave him half of her meal. If she was hungry at night, she could sneak into the space for a midnight snack.

Jiang Tianyou was not at home, so Han Fengzhi stayed for dinner.

Ever since she became pregnant, she always felt hungry and ate a lot.

Jiang Tianyou tried his best to use other tickets to exchange for grain tickets and meat tickets, so as to get more food for his family, but it was still not enough to eat.

She saw her brother eat so much in one meal, and she worried about the food problem when she thought that her brother would have to eat at her house in the future.

It’s not that she was reluctant to give up the food, but that there wasn’t enough food.

If she wasn't pregnant, she would have wanted to go to the commune's black market to see if she could buy some food.

Having money but no tickets is a problem for people of this era.

Su Nuan noticed that Han Fengzhi seemed to be in a bad mood, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Fengzhi, are you feeling unwell?"

Han Fengzhi hesitated, but finally told the truth: "We don't have enough food at home."

“I have money but no tickets.”

Everyone understood that she was worried that Han Wei would have no food to eat when he went to her place first.

Han Weixian's appetite is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.

It is said that my uncle and aunt had to tighten their belts at home to barely make enough to eat.

It’s not so bad in the countryside. If there is not enough food, you can go out to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, hunt, etc.

The number of chickens that can be raised in the countryside is also high.

Victor Han scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, “I brought some food with me.”

"Sister, I was very hungry after sitting on the train for a few days, so I ate a lot at this meal. I don't usually eat this much."

The main reason is that we don’t have that much food to eat on a normal day.

Han Fengzhi was worried that her brother would misunderstand that she disliked him, and her eyes turned red in anxiety. Su Nuan quickly said, "Leave the food to me."

"I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask around for you guys to see if you don't need a ticket."

Han Fengzhi took out two big unity notes and gave them to Su Nuan without hesitation, "If there is food, spend all of this."

She is so short of food!!

She didn't care about being hungry. She was mainly worried about the development of the baby in her belly. Besides, her younger brother was still in the growing stage and couldn't let him starve.

Su Nuan accepted the two big unity bills with guilt. She originally thought that she had taken good care of her cousin, but she didn't expect that her cousin's family was facing the problem of food shortage.

She suddenly remembered that Song Chunfeng used to often wake up from hunger in the middle of the night, and the situation gradually improved after they moved into the family compound.

Su Nuan decided to buy some good food for her cousin tomorrow so that she can eat until her stomach is full!

After dinner, Song Chunfeng cleaned up the dishes, Su Nuan was responsible for wiping the table, and asked Mrs. Ling to take a shower first.

Han Fengzhi and Han Weixian sat for a while, then took their things and went to Jiang's house.

The little rabbit Pu Pu stayed here. Before going to bed, Su Nuan filled the little rabbit with some water and put two cabbage leaves in it. Thinking that so many children were blocking the door to watch the little rabbit today, she was worried that the little rabbit would be stolen, so she quickly moved the little rabbit to another place in the kitchen, closed the door, and locked it, all in one go.

The next morning, Su Nuan rode her bike to the commune, found a deserted place, and bought 20 kilograms of rice, a bag of flour, two pieces of bacon, a cured chicken, a bag of snacks, and a can of malted milk from the mall and sent them to her cousin Han Weimin.

She thought that if the family of a regiment leader could go hungry, then her eldest cousin, a road worker, must have an even harder time.

As her cousin who has earned money, it is only natural for her to mail him something.

Su Nuan came out of the post office and bought two cans of milk powder, fifty kilograms of rice, two bags of Fuqiang flour, a chicken, a duck, a piece of pork belly, two dozen eggs, and three kilograms of
