Chapter 17 Scientists of the 1970s (17)



The fact that Li Shuanmin was taken to the capital by Bai Zhi really gave her a great shock.

Their family is not living well in the village now, they can't earn any work points, and they have so many mouths to feed.

The three brothers couldn't even find wives in their current situation, so they could only hope that Li Xiangxiang would be like Bai Zhi and bring them to the capital as soon as possible.

They can live a good life by leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Li Xiangxiang opened her mouth for a long moment before she said, "Mom... The Gu family is very powerful and has high expectations. We can't bring you to the capital for the time being..."

Chen Guifang's face suddenly fell.

Li Xiangxiang continued, "But once you graduate from university and become a teacher, I'll be able to get a house. Then I can bring you to Beijing. Besides, I heard that being a teacher in Beijing can earn you a hundred yuan a month!"

"So many?!" Chen Guifang was shocked.

"Yeah, so Mom, please wait a little longer..."

"Well, then we'll wait a little longer. Xiang, you must hold on to Gu Xinchen tightly!" Chen Guifang reminded.

"Yeah, I get it." What are you catching? Gu Xinchen can't even protect himself, how can she catch him? She doesn't even know where he is!

Li Xiangxiang listened patiently to the mumbling inside, and finally said with her hands clenched -

"Mom... I have something else to tell you. Please send me some money. The expenses in Beijing are too high, and I still have to date Xinchen... Subsidy? Not enough, not enough at all..."

She didn't dare go back. How could she dare to go back and embarrass herself?

But she had been expelled from the Normal University, and if she wanted to stay in the capital, she needed money.

She must stay in the capital, she wants to see Li Baizhi in trouble, she wants to wait for Gu Xinchen to come back!

When her life gets better, when she meets Gu Xinchen, she will bring her parents to Beijing...

So, not only did Chen Guifang not ask about the situation during the call, nor did she ask Li Xiangxiang to pick them up, but she also wanted to go home to raise money and tickets to send to Li Xiangxiang...

This journey lasted for four years.

A lot of things happened in these four years, including the disbanding of collectives, the household contract responsibility system, and the prosperity of the entire society.

Led by Kyoto University teachers, students and experts from the Academy of Sciences, countless achievements have been made in just four years, advancing science by a great step.

Whether it is transportation, communication or life, great progress has been made in all aspects, and technological products have yielded fruitful results.

In some areas, we have even caught up with and surpassed the United States, while in other areas we are still working hard.

But obviously, in such a rich scientific research atmosphere, it is only a matter of time before we catch up with the United States.

These experts from the Academy of Sciences, even students from Kyoto University and other schools, appeared in newspapers because of their inventions or achievements.

Among them, one name appears very frequently - Li Baizhi.

But strangely, in the past year, her name has gradually disappeared from the newspapers.

The scientific and technological products and scientific research processes that gradually emerged from the Academy of Sciences dazzled the world's eyes, making few people pay attention to the names that are gradually disappearing.

The newspapers and news did not say who made the research, only that it was the Academy of Sciences, without specifying who it was.

Those who didn't understand it at all didn't take it seriously, and those who didn't understand it only thought that this person didn't seem to have made any scientific research results, but those who knew it knew -

The name no longer appears in the public eye, not because there are no results, on the contrary, the results are too rich, so they are strictly protected!

Li Xiangxiang is obviously someone who only half understands.

She had lived a very miserable life for the past four years, and the better life she had imagined never materialized.

After being expelled from the Normal University, she tried many ways to return to school but failed. She even wanted to take the exam again, but she had to return to her hometown, so Li Xiangxiang gave up.

Moreover, she hasn't read for a long time and can't concentrate, so the probability of her passing the exam is very low.

Fortunately, the times were getting better and better, and she, a foreigner, could live in the capital. However, her life was very difficult, especially every time she saw Bai Zhi's name appear in the newspaper, she was filled with hatred.

The Gu family was also in trouble, and she never got to see Gu Xinchen come back to find her and lead her to a good life.

For four whole years, she still didn't wait for Gu Xinchen.

If she hadn't found ways to trick her family into sending her money in the past four years, she would have been unable to survive!

During these four years, Li Xiangxiang was in a relationship, but because she didn't meet Gu Xinchen's standards, they broke up soon. She has been renting a house ever since and has been homeless.

Bai Zhi's name gradually disappeared from the newspapers, and she began to hope that Bai Zhi would be as miserable as her!

According to the Li family, Li Xiangxiang has successfully "graduated" from the Normal University.

A few days ago, the rent increased and Li Xiangxiang could not afford it, so she had to lie to her family and say that she had been assigned a job as a teacher in Beijing, but if she wanted to get a house, she had to pay first.

Today is the day she goes to get the money.

However, when she arrived at the post office, she saw Chen Guifang and Li Lao Da with gloomy faces from afar.

Li Xiangxiang's heart tightened.

However, before she could figure out what to do, Chen Guifang pounced on her and slapped her in the face, and she started crying instantly.

Li Xiangxiang cried, and Chen Guifang also cried. They cried and cursed, full of hatred.

Her elder brother, who had doted on her very much and was blind in one eye, beat her up severely in the street as if she were an enemy.

They already know!

In order to give money to Li Xiangxiang, Chen Guifang's family has emptied their family savings over the years. They have poor food and clothing. The third of the three brothers cannot go out to work. Even the second brother who has a broken hand and the eldest brother who is blind have worked day and night over the years, thinking that if they can get Li Xiangxiang out, they can live a good life.

A few days ago, because of Li Xiangxiang's "housing distribution" issue, Chen Guifang and Li Dazhu gritted their teeth and sold the land that their family had just been allocated, and only then did they raise the money.

In the past four years, transportation has become much more convenient, so Chen Guifang and Boss Li simply came to Beijing together.

——They have had some doubts over the years, but in the end they are more hopeful.

Unable to find Li Xiangxiang, they first went to Beijing Normal University, but no matter how hard they looked, there was no such person as Li Xiangxiang. Later they found out that she had been expelled shortly after the start of the school year!

It was a big deal at the time, so all the students in that class knew about it. Now the teacher still uses her as a negative example to urge students to study hard!

a bolt from the blue!

Chen Guifang fainted at that moment. If Boss Li hadn't pinched her philtrum, she would not have woken up!

"I'm going to beat you to death!"

"Why did you lie to us?!"

"Do you know how difficult our lives have been these years?!"

"I should have strangled you back then! If you had strangled you, none of this would have happened later!"

"Back then...back then I shouldn't have hurt others for you and turned us into this..."

As the beating went on, Boss Li also started to cry loudly.

Li Xiangxiang was lying on the ground, looking up with a bruised face and nose. At this time, several cars drove past in front of her. They were all Red Flag cars. It was obvious that there was an important person inside.

She was lying on the ground with her head tilted up, just in time to see a car parked outside a department store not far ahead, and then a few security guards got out, followed by a girl with a ponytail.

She was dressed simply, but from a distance you could tell that what she wore was extraordinary!

And...that face looks so familiar!

"Li, Bai, Zhi!"

The person getting off the bus in the distance is Baizhi!

After getting off the bus, she reached out to help an old man get off. The old man was also well dressed and looked almost the same as he was four years ago, even looking younger!

The old man was leaning on a very good cane and was supported by Bai Zhi into the building with a bright smile.

Li Xiangxiang saw it, and Chen Guifang also saw it. Their eyes went dark and they fell down again.

Damn it!

Her own daughter, whom she had high hopes for, had been deceiving them all these years, even leaving them with nothing!

And Li Baizhi, who she thought must be having a hard time, is now living the best life possible. The old man who was bullied by their family is also enjoying the good life with his granddaughter and is living a very good life!

There were several cars outside the door, and people were wearing fashionable clothes that they had never seen before!

Chen Guifang couldn't accept it and fainted again.

Chen Guifang and Li Lao Da returned to the countryside. Chen Guifang was ten years older and Li Lao Da was more hunched.

They brought Li Xiangxiang back.

Li Dazhu's family made a fuss all night long that day. It was said that they even used knives and kept shouting and cursing.

There are no secrets in the village, so the next day everyone knew that Li Xiangxiang had been expelled four years ago and had never gone to college!

Oh my god! This was so shocking that the whole village was buzzing with gossip for days.

Some people also say that—

"Hey, I've known there's something fishy going on. Last year, my nephew went to a technical college in Beijing. When he came back for the New Year, he said he went to Beijing Normal University but couldn't find Li Xiangxiang. He looked for her several times but couldn't find her. No one knew her!"

"Really?" People gathered around immediately.

"Yeah, I thought there was something fishy going on. What college student would need so much money from home? And they even said they had a great fiancé, but why didn't I see him sending money home? Not all college students are as successful as Bai Zhi, but they still get subsidies. Why would they need constant money from their families?"

"Yes, yes."

"So when he said he couldn't find Li Xiangxiang, I knew something was wrong! He couldn't find Bai Zhi either, but Bai Zhi is so busy contributing to the country. She's also the idol of all the university students in Beijing! All the university students in Beijing call her 'Senior Bai Zhi,' so why haven't I seen anyone mention Li Xiangxiang?"

"Tsk tsk, how bold! It's unfortunate that Li Dazhu's family has Li Xiangxiang."

"I think it's retribution. What did their family do to Uncle Shuanmin's family? They occupied their house and burned Baizhi's admission ticket. If Baizhi wasn't so powerful, who knows what would have happened..."

"It's retribution. It started when the three Li brothers were in trouble!"

“Serves you right!”
