When Chunhua was 17 years old, she was originally arranged to get married.
But at that time, the three sons in the family all needed to go to school, and she, Hu Jianguo and the three daughters had to work. Where would they get the money to support them?
Later, the second son had a strong temper and threatened to commit suicide in order to get married, so she had to compromise.
Seeing that the family was short of a laborer, Chunhua took the initiative to stay.
This stay has lasted until now.
Feng Yun thought of how she held Chunhua and kissed her again and again when she was just born, and her heart ached.
That was her first child, how could she not love her?
Tears blurred her vision. She let go of Chunhua and gently wiped the tears from her face. She smiled and said, "Mom means what she says. Mom won't let you suffer by marrying Li Tiezhu. You have to stick to it too, okay?"
Hu Chunhua lowered her head, tears falling to the ground.
She has been the pillar of the family since she was young, helping to raise her younger siblings, doing farm work, and earning work points.
She always thought that she would consider her own affairs after her family conditions improved and her younger brothers and sisters grew up.
But as time went by, the burden on the family became heavier and heavier, and she grew older and older.
The fourth brother's words pierced her heart like a sharp knife. She was grown up, and now no man wanted her.
But she did it for this family, how could the fourth brother say that to her?
Feng Yun placed his hand on her shoulder. "Chunhua, when we treat others well and compromise with them, there must be a bottom line. The way to get along in this world is to exchange sincerity for sincerity. If you treat others well but they don't get anything in return and instead take advantage of you, you must withdraw your kindness immediately, even if that person is a family member. Do you understand? Think more about yourself in the future, and don't just think about others."
At this point, she gritted her teeth and said, "Especially your fourth brother. From now on, whatever he wants you to do, just do the opposite of what he wants you to do. You'll only spoil his selfish nature!"
In his previous life, the fourth child was able to study and go out to study, but later he fell in love, bought a house and got married. He did not bring a penny of his salary home, but instead worked very hard to support his mother-in-law's family, whose conditions were much better than Old Hu's.
It would be fine if the sixth child didn't strive for excellence and didn't want to study, but the third and fifth children were obviously very smart. If it weren't for the fourth child, they might have been able to study.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Hu Chunhua held Feng Yun's hand, feeling a little nervous. "What's wrong with you? Although my fourth brother is a little selfish, he is the most promising child in the family. We should still help him. When he passes the exam, it will bring honor to our Hu family."
"That's enough." Feng Yun couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Chunhua, Lao Si is willing to sell your life for his own future. Do you think you can rely on such a person in the future? He is a complete ungrateful person. Before you think about taking advantage of him, think about whether you are destined to take advantage of him.
Just remember what I said, and think more about yourself in the future. In this life, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."
Hu Chunhua stared at her mother blankly, with some confusion in her eyes, but she didn't say anything else.
"Okay, Mom is going to make lunch. You take a break first." Feng Yun said, turning around and heading towards the kitchen.
Hu Chunhua quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom, you just came back. I'm going to cook. You take a rest."
Feng Yun was indeed very tired. She had just been reborn and she really needed to sort out her thoughts.
It is now May 1978, and this year's college entrance examination is on July 20th.
At the end of this year, the clarion call of reform and opening up will be sounded here. By then, farmland will be contracted to households, and every household will not starve to death as long as they are not lazy.
But there are more opportunities outside the fields.
Opportunities to make a fortune are everywhere in the city.
…
After Hu Guangjin rushed out of Old Hu's house, he ran straight to the educated youth site.
The educated youth point in Lishu Village is located on the back slope at the east end of the village, not too far from Lao Hu’s home, and can be reached in about ten minutes on foot.
It is a small courtyard surrounded by adobe walls. There are several low rooms in the courtyard. The rooms are not big and can accommodate two or three people in one room.
There is a big locust tree in the middle of the yard. They come here to cool off in the hot summer.
At this time, under the big locust tree, a group of educated youth gathered together to look at review materials. Xu Lijuan was surrounded in the middle and was obviously a celebrity in the educated youth site.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Lijuan was called out and looked Hu Guangjin up and down with a bit of disgust and confusion in her tone.
As soon as Hu Guangjin saw Xu Lijuan, the grievance in his heart suddenly surged up, his eyes turned red instantly, and tears welled up in his eyes.
