Jiang Wanwan, who was regarded as a fool, has now boarded the ox cart heading back to the village. During the slack season, the village would occasionally drive out ox carts to facilitate travel for the members.
Jiang Wanwan had read a novel about that period before, in which people rode ox carts and donkey carts into the city to go to the black market every day, just like ox carts and buses. This made her really think that traveling in that era was very convenient. However, when she arrived, it turned out to be completely different.
The livestock in the village are all treasures. It is really a blessing to be able to drive them out for everyone to use like today. More often than not, the team has something to do and the members want to take a ride. If there is no other way, they can only walk.
Moreover, people don’t have ID cards nowadays, so letters of introduction are very useful.
It would be fine if she just came to the county town to buy something, but if she went out to do business, a letter of introduction would be the stepping stone. Without this letter, let alone doing business, she wouldn't even be allowed in.
Even in some big cities, there are police officers on duty on the road. If they see suspicious people or obvious outsiders, they will check your letter of introduction at any time.
The old man driving the cart was not young. He sat behind the shaft with a pipe in his mouth, waving the whip lazily, looking very leisurely.
It is said that rickshaw drivers, barefoot doctors, and private teachers were all popular professions in this era. When everyone was idle at home, rickshaw drivers could still drive a cart out and earn full work points.
Work points, work points, are the lifeblood of the members. In the eyes of people in this era, work points are the foundation of life.
Many people went out today, and Li Cuifen was one of them. She had noticed Jiang Wanwan a long time ago.
When they came in the morning, one was at the front and the other at the back of the car, and they didn't say a word to each other, but now they were very close.
Seeing Jiang Wanwan's bag bulging with something and smelling of goat, he felt jealous and envious.
"Jiang Zhiqing, you went to the city again and bought so many goodies to take back to show your filial piety to your mother-in-law? I think the Lu family is really lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you who gives you good things from time to time. The whole family benefits from it. I'm jealous just watching you."
When Jiang Wanwan saw that it was Li Cuifen, she was not surprised to hear such words from her.
She never knew how she had offended Li Cuifen, and always felt that this woman was hostile to her.
He smiled and replied, "What's there to be jealous about? Sister Cuifen has also bought a lot of good things to show her filial piety to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang is well-known in our team for her generosity. She will definitely remember Sister Cuifen's kindness when the time comes."
Li Cuifen's face darkened when she heard this. Was her mother-in-law being straightforward? No one in the entire Red Star Brigade could afford to offend her, right?
She originally married Wang Tiezhu because he was honest, but she didn't expect that the man's honesty was all caused by his mother.
The old lady was widowed at a young age. Not only did she control her son, but after she got married, she also wanted to control her daughter-in-law.
Thinking about what I bought today, if the old lady knew about it, there would probably be another fuss.
He looked at Jiang Wanwan with even more displeasure, "How can ordinary people like us compare with Jiang the educated youth? What we bought are household items for daily life. Every family is responsible for daily life. Unlike you educated youth, you can just leave when you don't want to. We have nowhere to go if we want to leave."
Her words clearly accused Jiang Wanwan of not being able to live a stable life with Lu Xiao.
During the time that Jiang Wanwan was married to Lu Xiao, there were indeed many such rumors in the village, and many people were waiting to see Lu Xiao make a fool of himself.
As soon as she said this, everyone around her looked over.
Jiang Wanwan smiled calmly.
"Sister Cuifen, what you said is true. National policy doesn't say that educated youth can just go wherever they want. We are all good citizens who abide by the law. We can't do whatever we want. Just like Sister Cuifen said, we just want to live a down-to-earth life."
After explaining, he glanced at the headscarf on her head and said, "Sister Cuifen, this headscarf is very beautiful."
Li Cuifen touched her head when she heard this, feeling somewhat proud. "I just bought this at the county department store. They say city goods are superior to those in our rural supply and marketing cooperative. I've seen this before, and our commune supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have this style."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a style, but this headscarf suits Brother Tiezhu well," It's emerald green and so bright.
Li Cuifen: "..."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that her words have a deep meaning.
For the rest of the journey, Li Cuifen didn't dare to speak anymore, and Jiang Wanwan was left alone.
Although they didn't say anything, others were not idle. Jiang Wanwan heard a lot of gossip, especially about the educated youth site, and almost became the center of gossip.
Du Jiaming was sent to the commune clinic where he was already delirious with fever. It was said that if the doctor had not rescued him in time, he would have lost his life.
Later, his condition stabilized, but he remained in a coma. The team leader severely criticized Cao Zhiqing and other male educated youth at the educated youth site for this.
They were sleeping in the same room and didn't even notice that the person was burned to death. Is there any revolutionary friendship left?
However, Qiao Zhiqing has been staying by Du Zhiqing's side since he was hospitalized, which makes people think a lot.
When this was mentioned, many people secretly glanced at Jiang Wanwan.
What could Jiang Wanwan do? Of course, she would offer her blessings.
I wish the scumbag and the bitch will be together forever, tie themselves together and stop causing trouble for others.
…………
Commune Health Center
Du Jiaming, who had been in a coma for two days, finally opened his eyes and looked at the white roof blankly, motionless.
He seemed to have had a long dream, in which he returned to the city and married his beloved woman.
The Du family was rehabilitated and the box of good things was recovered. It was with the help of that box of good things, plus policy support, that he went into business and made his first pot of gold.
After that, he was like a rocket, making more and more money, and his social status became more and more important. Even the leaders in the city were friendly to him.
His wife works in a government agency and holds an important position. She has helped him deal with his competitors in the business world several times and is his true wife.
But his wife was not the Jiang Wanwan he thought she was.
Du Jiaming tilted his head and saw Qiao Wenwan, who was exhausted and asleep beside the bed, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Who would have thought that this was his destined wife, his life partner, and a good helper in his career, and she also gave birth to two smart and lovely sons for him.
Their son was as outstanding as he was. He was admitted to a prestigious domestic university and even went abroad to study.
Going abroad was something Du Jiaming had never thought about, but his son actually did it, and he also went abroad several times in his dreams.
National policies have undergone earth-shaking changes, the country's doors have opened, and people with lofty ideals like him can display their talents.
Du Jiaming didn't believe it was just a dream. He had been sick these days, especially after returning from the fields. He felt that his body was hollowed out and he felt like he had died.
His dream seemed like something that had really happened, more like something from his previous life.
The people around her moved. Qiao Wenwan had a good sleep and was about to stretch when she saw that the man on the hospital bed had opened his eyes.
