Although she signed up to go to the countryside to escape her parents, she came to Lingbei because she wanted to get enough money to support herself.
She knew very well that she wasn't valued at home.
What's more, she has now left home without a word and come to Lingbei, thousands of miles away.
Her departure will not affect her father at all, while her stepmother may grumble a few words.
After all, her daughter, who was about to fetch a good price, just ran away.
That's like money that was almost in your hands just flying away.
So for her family, her disappearance was less important than losing twenty yuan; they wouldn't launch a large-scale search.
At most, my stepmother would complain a little when there was no one to do the chores at home.
Even if her family knew where she was, they wouldn't bother to bring her back to the city.
However, although coming to Lingbei is like restarting her life, she faces each day with a positive attitude.
But as time went on, she couldn't help but feel envious when she saw the people from the former educated youth settlements returning to the city.
Occasionally, she would fantasize about what it would be like to return to the city.
Therefore, even someone like her, who knew she couldn't return to the city, still longed to go back.
Why are Lin Siqi and Zhang Jiayang, who clearly come from prominent families and have a good chance of returning to the city, so indifferent to this matter?
Shen Muling was the same, according to the policies she understood.
She was the orphan of a martyr and the only child in her family, so she didn't need to go to the countryside.
Even if there were some unspeakable difficulties at home, there were plenty of ways for her not to go to the countryside.
Why did she have to come to Xinshan Brigade in the countryside, where there was always endless work to do every day?
“You’re just newly sent-down youth, you haven’t experienced enough, you don’t know the hardships here.”
"If you stay here long enough, you might regret it. But by then, you probably won't even have a way out."
These were Xu Ji's true feelings; he was already tired of life in the countryside.
But as his younger siblings grew up, the family's expenses increased.
In addition, since he is often away from home, the affection that his elders have shown him has long been shared with others.
They used to send letters and packages frequently, but now they don't even reply to my letters, and I haven't seen a single penny of money.
He was too arrogant back then, always thinking he could live a good life in the countryside.
He still believes that the love he receives at home is permanent and that they will find a way to make him go back.
Back then, he didn't quite understand the saying "when people leave, the tea cools," and now he can only waste his days in the Johor Bahru village.
The only reason he can still hold off on getting married now is because he understands this very well.
Those who wanted to marry their daughters to educated youth primarily considered whether he could return to the city afterward.
If we can return to the city, then we can take a gamble and let our daughter marry into a better family.
Back when he had family subsidies, some people would try to get close to him.
However, seeing that he hadn't been able to return to the city for so long, and that his family had stopped sending him things, she immediately changed her attitude and stopped associating with him.
So the people who still have feelings for him now are basically of no help to him.
Even if he were to marry a local now, it wouldn't bring much change to his life.
"That's right. Those of you who can go back should try to find a way as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult later."
Wang Zhu also knew that some things were better done sooner rather than later, and patiently offered words of comfort.
Lin Siqi and Zhang Jiayang's thoughts remained unchanged.
They had already thought it through and understood the path they wanted to take. How could they change their minds because of a few words of advice?
However, they still appreciated the kindness of the former educated youth.
After all, they've only known each other for about twenty days, so for them to be able to speak so frankly is already a sign of deep conversation despite their relatively short acquaintance.
"Thank you for reminding us, but we have our own plans."
Although Zhang Jiayang couldn't immediately determine the path he wanted to take.
However, in the short term, his decision to follow Chu Mingxu will not change.
Lin Siqi, who knew the course of the nation's history, knew that they would not stay here forever.
She has naturally made plans for her future, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should proceed according to those plans.
"Forget it, as long as you have a plan, that's fine. Don't get stuck here for the rest of your lives."
Chu Mingxu, who usually doesn't speak during casual conversations, said these words with great earnestness.
While these words were directed at you, they were actually aimed directly at Zhang Jiayang.
Chu Mingxu knew that Zhang Jiayang had come for him, and he didn't want to waste his time.
The situation is unclear, and it is unknown whether the Chu family has any chance to turn things around.
He didn't want Zhang Jiayang to just stay in the countryside with him; that would be a waste of time.
But despite his many attempts to dissuade him, he remained obstinate, leaving him with no recourse but to sigh.
But seeing Zhang Jiayang's determined attitude, he had to carefully consider his next steps and what he should do.
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I have plans for the future."
Anyway, he didn't want to join the army or go into politics, and his family was being targeted by his rivals who insisted that his family was not responding to national policies.
He was thinking that he could solve the problems at home and also escape from home temporarily.
Besides, Chu Mingxu, whom he has admired since childhood, is here too. How could he stay by his side if he didn't come?
He believed that Chu Mingxu was only temporarily trapped in shallow waters and would eventually rise to the top.
That's why he decided to stay in the countryside instead of going home for the time being.
"Hmm." Chu Mingxu knew he couldn't persuade him at all, so he just gave a curt "hmm."
Shen Mu Ning shook her head inwardly. Who knows what the future holds? Didn't they go their separate ways anyway?
