"Miaomiao, how about your uncle and I pull some strings to get you back to the provincial capital?"
When Qin Fengying heard that her daughter was going back to Jianshan Brigade, she thought of the years she and her husband had suffered there, and she felt no good feelings towards that place at all.
If it weren't for meeting Miao Miao, who had traveled through time, Old Man Zheng definitely wouldn't have survived.
Neither Lao Sun nor I knew if we could make it through.
So when she heard that her daughter was planning to go back to Bicheng, her first reaction was this: before, there were no conditions, but now that there are, she doesn't want her daughter to suffer.
"Auntie, it's alright."
Ruan Miaomiao was already used to calling Qin Fengying "Auntie". After thinking for a moment, she replied, "There are advantages to staying in the countryside. At least, I don't have to be in such a hurry when I go to work."
If I really had to stay in the city, I couldn't be so lazy; I'd have to go to work honestly.
After all, in the city, there are street offices, women's federations, revolutionary committees, and the government watching you. If you don't go to work for a long time, you'll be labeled as an idle and backward element..."
Listening to Ruan Miaomiao's explanation, Qin Fengying muttered irritably, "Tell me, is it because of that Zhou Jingyun?"
Before Ruan Miaomiao could answer, Qin Fengying continued, "You silly girl, look at yourself, the daughter of a division commander, such a good status, why did you have to find a country bumpkin?"
Even if Zhou Jingyun is handsome, he's just a country bumpkin. Can he put food on the table?
Qin Fengying and Sun Deming were exonerated not long after Zheng Lao and the other two returned from their exoneration, so naturally they didn't know what happened in Jianshan Brigade later. Their impression of Zhou Jingyun was that he was just a country man who made a living by digging in the soil.
But what about their Miaomiao?
Those are pampered flowers, how could they be stuck in cow dung?
Upon hearing Qin Fengying's words, Ruan Miaomiao recalled the first time she met Zhou Jingyun. He was wearing urea pants and was followed by Gou Dan Li Tiezhu. He was taller, stronger, and better looking than the average countryman.
At the time, she only thought of him as an honest and simple country man.
However, considering that the other person gave her several thousand yuan when they first confessed their feelings to her, it didn't seem like they were honest and simple.
She could only praise the other person for being so good at pretending. If it weren't for the job search later, Zhou Jingyun might have continued to pretend in the village.
Come to think of it, in this day and age, being ordinary is the safest thing to do. Nobody dares to stand out too much, for fear of being noticed and targeted.
In many period dramas, the male or female protagonist has no background and saves up some money by venturing into the black market. Then they start building houses and buying things. Isn't this blatantly telling people: this person has a problem?
In those days, poor people liked to pretend to be rich. They would hang a piece of pigskin behind their door and wipe it on their mouths when they went out to visit other people's homes, pretending that they had eaten meat and showing off.
Some rich people like to pretend to be poor, believing that only what they have hidden in their pockets or buried in the ground truly belongs to them.
Being too conspicuous or eye-catching means danger.
She could completely understand why Zhou Jingyun, who clearly had several thousand yuan in his hands and knew how to make money, pretended to be an ordinary countryman. Apart from not working in the fields much and only going to the fields to earn work points during the busy farming season, there was really nothing wrong with him.
In the entire Jianshan Brigade, even if others suspected Zhou Tiemin of speculation and profiteering, they would never suspect Zhou Jingyun.
Of course, Qin Fengying and Sun Deming were unaware of all this.
Therefore, both of them felt that the other was not good enough for their daughter.
Ruan Miaomiao could only tell Qin Fengying all the details of their time together.
When Qin Fengying heard that Zhou Jingyun had already become the deputy director of the provincial Chinese medicine factory, and might even become the director of the new factory in the future, she suddenly felt that her daughter had good judgment.
Receiving Qin Fengying's praise, Ruan Miaomiao secretly felt smug: "She has a good eye. Zhou Jingyun will be the richest man in China in the future, and he can even rank in the top five on the Forbes list!"
"But, Miaomiao, no matter how good that boy is, you can't be so clingy to him. Why go back to Bicheng for him? You can just have him come to Haicheng, can't you?"
Qin Fengying found it more and more feasible as she talked about it, and slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, we can marry him and then have him come to Haicheng to come and stay with you."
"At that time, on our turf, I doubt he'll dare bully you."
Seeing Qin Fengying getting more and more excited as she spoke, Ruan Miaomiao smiled helplessly: "I didn't go back to Bicheng entirely for him. One reason is that I still want to keep some distance from the Ruan family."
After all, you know the Ruan family dotes on their daughter. I'm worried they'll notice something's wrong with me. With us separated by distance, seeing each other only once every few months or even a year, if they notice the change in me, they'll just think I've been through something in the countryside, and they won't even consider whether I've become a different person.
Once they gradually accept me as I am, I can stay here without worry.
Qin Fengying listened to her daughter's words and felt that there was some truth to them. The Ruan family doted on their daughter even more than she and Lao Sun.
"Another reason is that I didn't go to university before, and I want to study hard after I go back this time so that I can see if I can get into university when the college entrance examination is reinstated this winter!"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Qin Fengying knew she was referring to the apocalypse.
The apocalypse arrived just as Ruan Miaomiao finished her college entrance exams, before her scores were even released. Her family scrambled to survive.
If even survival is a problem, where can one find a university?
Thinking of the apocalypse, Qin Fengying's eyes reddened again: Now is a good time, my daughter can do whatever she wants.
