When Shen Peng returned home that evening, everyone on the street gave him strange looks, and he knew it must be because of the things the educated youth had done that day.
Everyone assumed that Shen Peng disliked his daughter, which was why he sent her to the countryside. They didn't see Han Ping's face that changed over and over in the afternoon.
Everyone was making exaggerated expressions, mimicking Han Ping's reaction as if she had overheard something that afternoon.
Song Yining then joined the gossip gathering among the older women, and afterwards secretly released two mice to gather intelligence.
Song Yining was afraid that there were military personnel lying in wait there, so she was always very careful.
Shen Peng didn't care. It wasn't appropriate to ask anyone now, since none of them could help. Some of the people he asked had children who had been sent to the countryside.
I'm afraid to say too much, lest someone report me for lacking moral awareness. Your child can't go to the countryside, but other children can.
Dingzhen, feeling extremely tired, returned home and saw his daughter who had just woken up. He felt an urge to hit her, but he was afraid the neighbors would hear.
They are still in a stepdaughter and stepfather relationship, so we still need to be careful.
He forced himself to hold it in, and the feeling of holding it in made him feel like his brain was about to explode.
Shen Shiyu was still half asleep. She drank a glass of water and went back to her room.
She didn't even notice Shen Peng's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot. Shen Shiyu was still angry because her mother had hit her that afternoon.
She went straight back to her room. When Han Ping saw that her daughter was still the same, she was disappointed but helpless. She couldn't do anything about how her daughter had been spoiled by her since she was a child.
Shen Peng is furious right now, but he can only process it slowly on his own; there's nothing he can do to change the facts.
It was after dinner that evening that Shen Shiyu and Shen Peng sat down and had a calm and peaceful chat.
"Didn't you say before that you and your classmate, the chemical plant director's son, had a crush on you? Why are you now thinking of signing up to go to the countryside?" Shen Peng said, looking at Shen Shiyu.
Hearing her father's words, Shen Shiyu said nonchalantly, "He has a face full of pimples and isn't very tall. It's just that his father is quite capable; otherwise, who would want him?"
Shen Peng was speechless when he heard Shen Shiyu's words. She really had one idea after another. He wondered what would happen tomorrow.
The two mice kept observing Shen Peng's family's actions. Seeing the family eating together peacefully, they silently watched.
Shen Peng and Han Ping looked at their restless daughter, wondering if she would still recognize what they had done that day after she slept.
The two mice saw them and recounted everything that happened at Shen Peng's house that day to Song Yining.
Since her parents knew her best, Song Yining decided to wait and see.
Seeing that the medicine was working well today, Song Yining was very satisfied with the results of her research.
The next morning, Song Yining prepared breakfast early, ate it, and then anxiously went out.
As for the things to buy for the trip to the countryside, Zhang Lan, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative, had already prepared almost everything.
When Zhang Lan learned that Song Yining had gone to the countryside, she had already exchanged many things for him.
She even prepared pots and pans. Zhang Lan's idea was that although cooking for herself was tiring, she could eat whatever she wanted.
Shen Junjie also gave her 500 yuan and some receipts. Song Yining also saw a lot of receipts for women's products, which was quite something.
The considerate Song Yining felt that this old man was really kind and approachable. He took the receipts that Shen Junjie had given him and went on a shopping spree, which made Song Yining feel like she had returned to the modern world.
Shen Junjie has never gotten married, and this time, the receipts were prepared by his female colleague.
He borrowed a lot of receipts from various places and gave them to Song Yining so that the child could buy what she liked.
Song Yining was looking forward to going to Qin Province. She was originally from Zhou County, An City, Qin Province, so she didn't need to worry about the local lifestyle.
Song Yining is absolutely used to life there, but she still has some shortcomings when it comes to working on the ground.
When Shen Shiyu woke up, she felt a headache coming on. After getting up, she ate breakfast as usual and then got ready to go to school.
Han Ping saw her go to school and couldn't understand what was going on.
"What are you doing? If you don't prepare anything today, you'll only have two days left." Han Ping looked at Shen Shiyu with a disgruntled expression.
"What are you saying? I have only two days left, tomorrow and the day after. I have to go to school." With that, she turned to leave.
"You've forgotten everything after just one night's sleep. I wonder what you did yesterday?" Han Ping looked at Shen Shiyu in surprise.
"What did you forget?"
“You went to the educated youth office to sign up for going to the countryside yesterday, and you’ve already forgotten all about it after just one night’s sleep.”
"What? I went to register myself? How come I don't remember? I must have lost my mind and made myself register." Shen Shiyu was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
"He really does act on a whim, forgetting even something so important. He's really careless."
Shen Shiyu was on the verge of tears, but quickly got up and grabbed her mother, saying, "Mom, Mom, I know I was wrong. I must have lost my mind to do such a terrible thing." Tears streamed down her face.
Han Ping was dizzy from being shaken by her daughter. "Alright, what's done is done. There's no way to change it. We can only accept the facts."
As Shen Shiyu listened to Han Ping's words and saw the banner still on the table, she wondered what she had done yesterday.
"Mom, I beg you, I don't want to go to the countryside. It's not a place for humans to live. Of those who came back from the countryside, how many are good?"
"Mom, I don't want to go to the countryside. Please ask Dad to plead for me and see if he can help me. I'm willing to marry anyone, as long as I don't have to go to the countryside." Shen Shiyu pleaded with Han Ping to find a solution.
Looking at her daughter, Han Ping realized what she had done and felt so disappointed in her that she wanted to hit her.
Shen Peng returned home having forgotten something, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard his daughter saying those heart-wrenching words.
He was about to turn back when he was surprised to find that both mother and daughter had come out and were seeing Shen Peng in the yard.
The three stared at each other, and Shen Peng had no choice but to investigate the cause and effect today, only to find out that it was his daughter who had provoked Song Yining.
The two of them agreed to sign up together. That woman really knows how to cause trouble; maybe she even provoked them into signing up.
Shen Peng still didn't understand something. They were supposed to go to the countryside, but Shen Shiyu fell into their trap so easily.
That brat forgets everything after just one nap.
Shen Peng couldn't swallow this insult; he had been thoroughly outmaneuvered this time.
She hated Song Yining to the core and wondered how to avoid arousing suspicion.
Shen Peng walked around in the courtyard, while Yan Shi smoked one cigarette after another.
When Han Ping and Shen Shiyu saw Shen Peng's gloomy face, even Shen Xuyang, the little devil, didn't dare to act recklessly.
Shen Peng considered many methods, but ultimately rejected them all.
Knowing that they would be going to the countryside soon, where it was all mountainous, I figured I could still find a way.
Thinking of this, Shen Peng's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
The family members finally showed gentle expressions when they saw Shen Peng.
Everyone sat at the dining table, eating in silence, no one daring to provoke Shen Peng.
