Sunday, May 24, 1981.

Suitable for weddings, blessing, sacrifices, travel, fire fighting, demolition, starting work, trading, and erecting plaques...

All in all, this is an auspicious day.

Zhang Xian chose this day to get married.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jun drove a tractor and took him to Heijiao to pick up his new wife happily.

Hao Qing returned to her parents' home a week in advance, waiting for Zhang Xian to pick her up today.

There was also a lot of activity in front of Zhang Xian’s new home, and Zhang Hai was undoubtedly the one who took the lead in helping out.

During the past year, after several incidents in a row, he became addicted to being a helper, directing the men and women who came after him to get married.

Of course Wan Feng would not do anything like borrowing tables and dishes.

Everyone was busy except him, who was wandering around like Mr. Daban.

"If you don't have any work to do, find a place to disappear immediately. Don't hang around in front of me. It hurts my eyes." Zhang Hai gave him an order.

Since he was not welcome here, Wan Feng ran to Chen Wenxin's house.

Today is Sunday and the school is closed. Chen Wenxin is the only one at home. Her parents are helping Zhang Xian's family in the back.

Chen Wenxin was studying at a small table on the kang.

Since entering middle school, her academic performance has been rising continuously and she is now one of the best in the class.

In this midterm exam, she not only topped the class, but also ranked among the top three among all the first-year junior high school students in the school.

Seeing Wan Feng enter the room, Chen Wenxin beckoned to him: "Come here!"

At the same time, she reached out and patted the kang beside her, meaning that Wan Feng should sit next to her.

Wan Feng sat next to her without thinking much. As soon as he sat down, he found that Chen Wenxin was looking at him with watery eyes.

"Can you please stop looking at me like that? I might misunderstand." Wan Feng joked.

"Close your eyes, I'll give you a gift."

"Give me a gift? Why would I give you a gift when it's not a festival?"

"Just close your eyes and you'll see."

"Okay, let me see what gift you want to give me."

Wan Feng closed his eyes with a smile.

A ball of hot air hit his face, and Wan Feng felt something warm touching his cheek.

Wan Feng was a little stunned. He opened his eyes and saw Chen Wenxin shyly fiddling with a book with her head down.

"You hit me on the face with something? Why does it feel like pork?"

Wan Feng asked even though he knew the answer. This matter didn't seem to be part of the plan, so he thought it would be better to pretend to be confused.

Upon hearing that her kiss had turned into pork, Chen Wenxin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Thank you for standing up for me last time."

"Then you can't rub a piece of pork on my face!"

Chen Wenxin glared at Wan Feng: "You dead man!"

How did this turn out like this?

"Wenxin, your academic performance is so good now. We are counting on you to get into university in the future. If you get into university, it will be the glory of our entire Jiangwei Brigade. Be obedient, don't think about messy things, and concentrate on studying."

Jiangwei Brigade has not produced a single college student in these years. If Chen Wenxin can be admitted to college, it will be a great honor for Jiangwei Brigade.

Chen Wenxin lowered his head and said nothing.

"If you get into university, I'll have the team cover your tuition. Maybe you can do something for your hometown after you graduate."

Wan Feng was not trying to fool Chen Wenxin. If she really got into university, he would definitely fund her college education. Of course, he would not let Chen Wenxin know and would do it in the name of the team.

Unexpectedly, these words made Chen Wenxin start sobbing.

If she didn't cry, Wan Feng could still remain calm, but when she started crying, Wan Feng became a little panicked.

Why the hell are you crying? If someone comes in, they’ll think I did something to you.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Wan Feng scratched his head: "Isn't it the same with everyone? You must have misunderstood something."

"If it weren't for you, I would have gone back home to farm. Maybe in two years I would have gotten married and become a housewife like everyone else. My family has been ruined by my father."

"If it weren't for you, my family wouldn't be here, my father wouldn't be on the right path, and our family wouldn't be as successful as they are now."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have anyone to stand up for me when I was bullied at school. I know I can't win against Sister Feng, so I study very hard, hoping to win back a little bit."

Wan Feng was stunned. Was this what she studied so hard for?

"Wenxin, you're only fifteen. Don't let your head be filled with so many things, okay? Regardless of your purpose, you've already embarked on the right path. Don't you want to move to the city in the future? This is your only chance to leave the countryside. So, the only thing you have to do now is study, get into university, become a scientist in the future, and become a pillar of the country. Even if you can't become a scientist, you can still stay in the city and find a government official position there..."

"But I think our Wahou is pretty good too. I believe that our Wahou will definitely be no worse than the city in the future. I just think you are the best."

This woman has a pretty good vision. She can see now that the future of low-lying areas will be no worse than that of cities.

"When you go out, you'll find that there are no two-legged frogs out there, but there are plenty of excellent three-legged men..."

Chen Wenxin chuckled: "It's a person with two legs, okay?"

Huh? Wrong? Yeah, it's true, men have three legs!

It just can't be explained.

"Listen to me, give up those messed-up ideas, and study hard. I'm counting on you to contribute to the Wahou Group in the future."

"Wahou Group? That's not a good word. Even a group isn't a good thing."

That’s right, before 1981, the word “group” was always preceded by the word “anti-party” in newspapers.

"When I say this group, I mean the company. You'll understand when the time comes."

Chen Wenxin suddenly sighed: "I will study hard and will definitely be admitted to university."

"That's right."

"So what do you think I'd study if I got into college?"

If you want to stand out in the future, you should naturally study finance and economics.

Because people in this field will be the most sought-after in the next few decades, but a large number of guides and even traitors will also come from this field.

If Chen Wenxin learns this, she might become one of them.

Because in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, most people who studied finance and economics would go abroad to study, and many of them became pawns trained by the West to subvert national regimes.

Wan Feng doesn't want to see Chen Wenxin become such a person.

"Study science and engineering. If you want to be a scientist, study science and engineering in the future."

"If I get into college in the future, which school should I choose? Huaqing or Dabei?"

"If possible, I'd like to apply to Northwestern Polytechnical University."

Chen Wenxin was confused.
