She felt that she had made the right bet.
He really came back, and her most beautiful dream in her youth came true.
At that moment, she was extremely glad that she did not follow her father and brother to Hong Kong.
She felt that if she had gone to Hong Kong at that time, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
…
But at this moment...
When the long river of history washed towards her with rough sand, Guo Linxian was covered with wounds. She asked herself in countless dreams at midnight: Was her choice really the right one?
Today, I saw my husband again.
That tall and straight figure no longer has the heroic presence it once had.
But the moment he hugged her, Guo Linxian actually knew it in her heart.
She...never regretted it!
"Hey! Old Liu, you are my enemy. I have been ruined in your hands in this life.
But if it weren't for you, I would have died in front of the French Concession more than 30 years ago."
With a sigh, decades of time flashed by in his mind.
Guo Linxian sneered and looked at her hands, which were supposed to be used to play the piano. Now they had become rough from doing rough work.
She blinked at the mirror, fixed her makeup a little, then opened the door and walked out with the vegetable basket.
It seemed like she hadn't had a proper meal for a long time, so she planned to cook a good meal to celebrate her husband's successful rehabilitation and return, even if she had to eat the meal alone.
In order to support her daughter's life, she lived frugally and exchanged most of the various coupons she saved for national food coupons and money to send to Liu Rumeng.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten meat. During the Chinese New Year this year, she made herself a bowl of noodles and added a little sesame oil. It was so delicious that she almost cried.
Today, my husband was finally rehabilitated and returned. When he left, he stuffed some tickets and money into my pocket.
She took the meat coupons to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a steak, and then went to the store to buy a bottle of Ningxia red wine.
The prices were not cheap, enough for her to spend for three months if she lived frugally.
However, these were just normal daily foods for her more than 30 years ago.
"Old Liu has been rehabilitated, and life will definitely get better and better in the future. Mengmeng is coming back too, and I can't be as stingy as before. I have to cultivate Mengmeng's knowledge and vision..."
Guo Linxian couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had fried steak herself.
On the way back, she kept thinking about the heat and time required to fry the steak.
After all, even if she had more money now, she estimated that she would only buy steak once for a long time.
Next time, maybe I have to wait until my daughter Liu Rumeng brings that lame peasant son-in-law over?
No! We can't let her bring him to Shanghai.
You want me to fry steak for this bastard who cheated on my daughter? You must be dreaming!
As she got closer to home, Guo Linxian became more determined that she would never let her daughter be cheated by that farmer for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, when she was almost home, Guo Linxian saw some unpleasant faces.
"Hey! Miss Guo is out buying groceries again! The daughters of capitalists are different! Our family can't eat so much beef in a year, but Miss Guo eats such a big piece by herself!"
"Look, there's even some red wine in the basket! The daughter of a capitalist knows how to enjoy life!
This bottle of red wine must cost more than ten yuan. Who would spend half a month's salary to buy such a bottle of wine? "
"I think! The criticism and denunciation meetings in our street are not strong enough. The remnants of the bourgeoisie are still at work, and they have not realized the root cause of their mistakes at all..."
"That's right! A few days ago, I don't know who ran to the street director and cried so hard, saying that his daughter was starving to death while working in the countryside.
I need an advance of one month's salary and tickets to send to support my daughter.
It turns out that it’s not your daughter who is starving to death, but the capitalist glutton in your stomach, Miss Guo, who wants to eat steak and drink red wine, right?”
…
Yes!
These gossipy ladies in the alleys of Shanghai have always been dissatisfied with Guo Linxian's capitalist lady behavior.
He would bully her whenever he had nothing to do and take advantage of her in various situations.
Seeing that she dared to buy steak and red wine despite her financial difficulties, he stopped her immediately and gave her a full-throated beating.
In the past, Guo Linxian really avoided them, lowered her head and walked away when she could, and leaned against the wall if she couldn't, letting them slander and insult her as much as they wanted.
After they said they were full, they returned dejectedly to their small house.
She didn't dare to refute, let alone resist.
Because she knew that she was the daughter of a capitalist, and that her origin was wrong and she should be criticized.
In such an environment, how dare I go against the reasoning and singing a different tune from these pure working class people!
Honestly accepting criticism and admitting mistakes is the only way to survive.
However……
Today Guo Linxian didn't want to endure it anymore, and she didn't need to endure it anymore.
After her husband was rehabilitated, their family was no longer right-wing capitalist-roaders, but a family of heroes of the Republic recognized by the organization.
Those heavy hats on her head have been taken off, and her husband is her greatest confidence now.
With a snap!
Guo Linxian put the basket on the ground, then smiled coldly and fired at the shrews with all her might:
"What's wrong with being the daughter of a capitalist? I joined the party in 1942, during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai.
