"Taozi, I know you want to join the army. But you must listen to me and get into college this summer. You must, you must!"
Guo Tao smiled but said nothing. He was not one to lie and obviously had his own ideas.
…
Since Zhang Hongcheng and his wife returned to the machinery factory, they have been very busy until before the Spring Festival.
Both the couple were admitted to key universities. According to local customs, they wanted to invite relatives, friends and colleagues of their parents to have a gathering.
This time, there were ten tables in the small cafeteria.
Because there were more than thirty relatives from Zhang’s hometown in the countryside.
In the eyes of the Zhang family, even though Zhang Yumin ranked first in the city in science, she was just a girl after all.
But Zhang Hongcheng is different.
Because even the head of the commune said that Zhang Hongcheng was going to become a high-ranking official after graduating from the school he attended.
Not to mention that he is now a section-level cadre, and the couple were admitted to this university at the same time.
The villagers did not have a deep understanding of Zhang Qianyi's position as a company commander, but when they described his son as a regular section chief, that feeling was more to their liking.
The leader of the people from the tribe was Zhang Hongfang, the team leader of the village.
He didn't come in person to drink Zhang Yumin's wine last time, but this time he came in person.
What he meant was that he wanted Zhang Hongcheng to take his wife back with him, on the pretext of visiting Zhang Hongcheng's ancestral home and paying respect to his grandparents' graves.
In fact, Zhang Hongcheng knew very well what Zhang Hongfang meant.
It was nothing more than spreading the word to other villages that their village had produced several college students, especially Zhang Hongcheng, who was a regular student at a young age, so that the superiors and nearby brigades would look at them with more respect.
Apart from anything else, Zhang Hongcheng certainly could not refuse the ancestor worship ceremony, and from the hidden meaning in Zhang Hongfang's words, it turned out that the clan had secretly hidden the family tree and had been continuing to record it privately.
So he made an agreement with others to return to his hometown after the New Year to visit his grandparents' graves and record his wife Chu Miaohong's name in the family tree.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Pei Shujing and Chu Miaohong were busy running around, while Zhang Hongcheng just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of their labor. However, the girl Zhang Yumin not only did not help in the kitchen, but instead lived a more carefree life than her brother.
Who has ever seen a girl playing outside in the middle of the night in the middle of winter?
Although she was playing games like poker with several female classmates who had also been admitted to university, Zhang Hongcheng was still very worried.
Before the first crackdown a few years later, Zhang Hongcheng was very sensitive to things like night gatherings.
He casually grabbed his sister who was about to go out to play again.
"There have been quite a few new documents published in the newspapers recently. As a future college student, have you been studying them seriously?"
Zhang Yumin felt that her brother was incomprehensible.
"Haha, my politics score is definitely higher than yours!"
"Eh? Then let me test you."
"Why... (Zhang Hongcheng suddenly had two more Great Unity cards in his hand) Okay!"
"What are you testing me on?"
Zhang Yumin stared closely at the two bills in Zhang Hongcheng's hand.
"How about testing your GM convictions to see if they're strong?"
"How do you try?"
"Let me tell you a little story to see how well you can resist feudal superstition..."
"Come on!"
"I heard this from an old lady when I was in Huacheng. It was before liberation. There was a village in the mountains... and the woman was an opera singer. Like your sister-in-law, her last name was Chu..."
......
After finishing the last dish for tomorrow's New Year, Pei Shujing took off her apron and pulled her daughter-in-law out of the kitchen, only to find that her daughter did not go out to have fun tonight, but stayed at home obediently to warm herself by the fire.
"Eh? Why are you so well behaved today? Didn't you make an appointment to go out and play with someone?"
Zhang Yumin's face was pale, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Chu Miaohong smiled and pulled her aside: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? How about sleeping with me again tonight?"
Zhang Yumin jumped up as if stung by a scorpion and ran into her room.
"No need, sister-in-law. We don't need to sleep together anymore. Just stay with my brother! Really~!!"
Pei Shujing and Chu Miaohong both looked in surprise at Zhang Hongcheng who was drinking tea slowly.
"Hongcheng, what happened to your sister? (What did you do just now?)"
Zhang Hongcheng shrugged.
"I cured her habit of going out at night (to occupy my sister-in-law)."
