Jiang Wanwan had a very good confinement period. Even though it was winter, she didn't catch a cold or get tired at all.
Jiang's mother was busy taking care of her every day. Jiang's father and second brother would come over whenever they had time, and they also specially found an aunt who was good at cooking and making soup.
On the day when Jiang Wanwan was about to leave her confinement, Wang Sanni and Lu Jie came to Beijing in a dusty state.
She asked her second brother Jiang Haiyang to go to the station to pick him up.
Lu Jie and Wang Sanni came with their two children. The four of them followed Jiang Haiyang into the yard. Although they tried their best to behave appropriately, one could still see a hint of timidity in their eyes. After all, it was their first time in such a big city.
But when Wang Sanni saw Jiang Wanwan, her eyes turned red before she even said anything.
They now know that they have lost contact with Lu Xiao. For this, Lu Jie couldn't help but curse a few times. He really didn't expect that his brother, who had been a strong-willed person since childhood, could do such a thing, especially since his sister-in-law now has a child.
But I also know that he is working for the country, so no matter how much resentment I feel in my heart, I can only comfort my brother and sister-in-law.
Jiang Wanwan has already accepted this matter. No matter what era, there are always some people who carry the burden and move forward.
I asked about the two people's family situation.
After knowing that Jiang Wanwan was pregnant, Lu's mother wanted to come and see her, but when she thought of her son's condition, she was too embarrassed to face her in-laws.
During the autumn harvest, Lu's mother fell ill again, and in the end she was no longer able to help.
After Wang Sanni gave birth to her second daughter, her sister-in-law Zhang Xiu Lan was always sarcastic in her words and deeds, especially after the family split up, Lu Jie and his wife were obviously living a better life than the old family. Zhang Xiu Lan had no chance to vent her anger, so she would use the children's affairs to bully Wang Sanni, making Wang Sanni restless during her confinement.
Lu Jie had a quarrel with his sister-in-law, and then built a wall between the two yards so that no one could look at each other and live their own lives.
When Lu Xiao left home, the sow in the family was given to Lu Jie. By then, he already knew Lu Xiao's plan.
After Wang Sanni finished her confinement, the two of them moved to Jiang Wanwan's old house. Lu Jie wrote a letter to Jiang Wanwan about this.
Firstly, it is convenient to feed the two pigs. Secondly, both their newly built and old houses are empty now, and they are on the edge of the village, so there are always people who are thinking about them.
If the two of them move there, they can also help look after the house.
Now the two pigs have grown up. During the autumn harvest, one of the sows was bred and it is estimated that she will give birth to piglets soon.
Ever since a few people started running the black market, Lu Jie has become more and more confident about the future and can now calmly deal with things like raising a few pigs.
He also discovered that policies had become increasingly relaxed in the past two years, especially in the south. Even individuals could buy and sell things openly without having to go to the black market secretly. This made him admire his third brother and his wife even more.
In a word, the family is prosperous and has no worries about food and drink.
At the end, Lu Jie sighed again. If his third brother had not returned to the army, all these things in the house would have belonged to him. When his third brother and his wife went back to college, life would have changed dramatically.
Even if my younger brother's wife goes to college, she may not leave my third brother and return to the city.
But now, let alone the question of whether my third brother’s wife will return to the city, my third brother has disappeared.
"Sister-in-law, although my third brother is a little slow, he is sincere to you. He must have some unspeakable secrets. Don't be angry with him. When he comes back, the second brother will definitely give him a good scolding."
Jiang Wanwan knew what Lu Jie was worried about and told him not to worry, as she was aware of the matter.
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan had a calm attitude and now had a little concern, and that his third sister-in-law was really not the kind of person who was petty and only cared about herself, Lu Jie was relieved.
Li Ergou was asked to help look after the pigs at home. The two children were still young and it was not convenient for them to stay outside for long. After Jiang Wanwan's daughter was one month old, the four of them bought train tickets and returned to their hometown.
By the way, Wang Sanni also talked about the educated youth site.
After hearing the news that the college entrance examination had been resumed, several educated youths at the educated youth site and Feng Huining signed up. Now they have finished the exam, but no one knows how many of them will pass. Once the results come out, it will probably be lively again.
Getting into university means being able to return to the city. Not to mention Feng Huining who married Wang Dazhuang, there is also Li Meiling who is dating Wang Dong, and Qiao Wenwan and Du Jiaming who are already a couple. No matter who gets into university, it is not an easy thing.
Wang Dong and Li Meiling have been dating for a year but haven't gotten married yet. Isn't that what they are waiting for?
Jiang Wanwan's situation was not as complicated as she thought. She knew that among the more than 5.7 million candidates who registered and entered the examination hall, only 270,000 were admitted in the end, with an admission rate of only 5%, which was similar to the admission rate of 211 universities in later generations.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years, and many talented people have accumulated. However, it is not easy to enter a university campus.
Red Star Brigade
On the hillside of the back mountain, Wang Dong looked at the woman in front of him, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Is it because you got into university and are returning to the city that you no longer like me? Li Meiling, we've been dating for a year now, and can I ever hear a single honest word from you? Tell me, was there an ulterior motive in approaching me from the very beginning? Did you want to date me just for the elementary school teacher position? Did you never really fancy me? And over the past year, you've said your family disagreed and created all sorts of problems for me, just to buy time?"
Li Meiling's face was filled with impatience. "You're the one who couldn't meet our family's requirements, how can you blame me? I'm a virgin and have been dragging this out for so long. If I keep dragging it out, will my reputation be ruined? I've made it very clear. Please don't bother me anymore. As for the elementary school teacher position, I earned it based on my own ability. It has nothing to do with you."
Wang Dong looked at her resolute expression and finally gave up. "Okay, even if I, Wang Dong, am blind."
Only after the man left did Li Meiling return to the educated youth site.
Li Jin was seen coming from a distance, and the slender figure behind him, running in the opposite direction of him, was either Qiao Wenwan or someone else, with a scornful smile on his lips.
Entering the educated youth camp, I couldn't help but sneer, "Du Zhiqing has only been gone for a few days, and he can't stand the loneliness?"
That one sentence made Qiao Wenwan furious. "How are you any better than me? You used the Party Secretary's son to get a primary school teaching position, and now you're done with him and you're kicking him out. What's the difference between you and the prostitutes of ancient times who used their bodies for profit?"
Li Meiling knew that what she did was wrong. There was a lot of gossip in the village, but no one said it to her face.
At this moment, the last layer of fig leaf was pulled off by Qiao Wenwan, and the two of them started fighting after a few words. In the end, other people at the educated youth center helped to separate them.
