At the end of 1978, a wave of educated youth returning to cities began across the country.
Since so many educated youth from Baiju Brigade were admitted to universities, there were more quotas available for returning to the city, and the remaining few could all return to the city at the end of the year.
Kong Wanwan took Niu Niu back to her parents' home in the provincial capital almost without hesitation.
She even gave up the house built in Baiju Brigade because no one was willing to buy it at the moment and she didn't want to be trapped by a house.
She had already made up her mind that after returning to the provincial capital and settling Niuniu down, she would immediately go to Beijing to follow Du Wenli.
But she knew that Du Wenli was a pauper and had even cheated some money out of her when he came back from summer vacation.
Of course, she knew that he came back to see her and her daughter and pretended to be nice to them every day, not because he really wanted to live a good life with her, but just to get some benefits from her.
Kong Wanwan didn't care. Since she had some money, and this bastard had managed to make her feel good, she was willing to give him some money as a tip.
But if she went to Beijing, she knew that she could not rely on Du Wenli.
Her main purpose was to keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything unfaithful behind her back during his years at university in Beijing.
Therefore, Kong Wanwan was careful in advance. Before returning to the city, she went to Fan Huifang to inquire about Shen Xiaobei's address in Beijing.
She decided to go to Beijing and stay with this woman first.
Even though this woman was someone she hated immensely, she only took advantage of Shen Xiaobei temporarily, so she would not suffer any loss.
Once she has established herself in Beijing, she will naturally draw a clear line between herself and this annoying woman.
After Kong Wanwan left, the educated youth site of the Fifth Production Team was completely deserted.
Mu Fangting has married into the Fourth Production Team and married the team's scorer, becoming a real peasant woman.
However, her life after marriage was not so easy. Although she and her husband lived separately from her mother-in-law since they got married, they were in the same production team and their houses were close to each other.
Every time the mother-in-law saw her, she never had a good face.
Either they ignored her or they called her a vixen who seduced her son and made him forget his mother after getting married.
I met the educated youth from the Baiju Brigade. Some went to big cities to study in universities, some returned to the city, and some, like Fan Huifang, did not return to the city. They had houses and shops in the commune and had long since ceased to live the life of farmers.
Mu Fangting also secretly thought about returning to the city again and again, but she was already more than five months pregnant.
Touching her bulging belly, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
After Kong Wanwan returned to the provincial capital, she left Niu Niu at her parents' home.
Niu Niu is six years old and is a very sensible girl. Kong Wanwan asked her parents to arrange for Niu Niu to attend kindergarten for half a year in the first half of next year, and then go to elementary school in a school near home in the second half of the year.
After hurriedly explaining everything to her parents, she went to Beijing alone without stopping.
Kong's mother advised her to stay in the provincial capital and find a job, but Kong Wanwan refused to listen and insisted on going.
Seeing that her daughter was so nervous about Du Wenli and regarded this man more important than her child, Kong's mother shook her head worriedly and helplessly.
She knew that girls should not be kept at home when they grow up.
Whether it is a blessing or a hardship for my daughter to go to Beijing to follow Du Wenli depends on her own luck. There are some paths that parents can never walk on their children's behalf.
Only she can go there in person to know whether it is good or bad, right or wrong.
Because the train was late and she was a little directionally challenged, she found the wrong way. By the time Kong Wanwan found Shen Xiaobei's courtyard, it was almost dark.
She was a little excited and a little nervous. She knocked heavily on the courtyard door several times and asked loudly, "Is anyone there?"
"Xiaobei, Hongmian, someone seems to be knocking on the door outside. I'll go check it out."
"Um!"
It was cold in winter, so Shen Xiaobei, Gao Hongmian, Duan Donglin and others ate in the living room.
Hearing a faint knock on the door outside, Duan Donglin immediately got up and opened the door.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Are you Xiaobei's uncle? I'm Xiaobei's friend from the Baiju Brigade, and also Du Wenli's wife, Kong Wanwan!"
Kong Wanwan didn't know Duan Donglin, but Duan Donglin's facial features were a bit similar to Duan Xichuan, so she could guess it at a glance.
"Oh, it's Wenli's daughter-in-law. Please come in!"
"Hey, thank you, uncle. Is Xiaobei in there?"
"Yes, she is."
If you want to come and seek refuge with someone, you naturally have to be friendly to them.
So Kong Wanwan pretended to be familiar and called Duan Donglin "Uncle" affectionately.
"Xiaobei, look who's here?"
"Kong Wanwan?"
"Xiaobei, oh my, I finally found you! You don't know, it took me a long time to find you here, I was so tired!"
Seeing this woman suddenly come here with two bags of luggage, Shen Xiaobei couldn't help but frowned.
My intuition tells me that a plague god is coming!
Kong Wanwan deliberately ignored Shen Xiaobei's surprised look, as if they were old friends with whom she had a very good relationship. She immediately put down her luggage and spoke to herself with a coquettish look on her face.
"Um, Wenli's wife, have you eaten yet? I'll go get you a bowl of rice. Come eat with us?"
"Oh, okay, thank you, uncle. I haven't had a proper meal all the way from the provincial capital. I'm starving!"
"Donlin, let me go and fill it up!"
"You are my uncle's wife, right? Then please excuse me, my sister-in-law!"
"Haha, no trouble, you've been driving for so long, just sit down and take a rest."
