"My life is okay now. My elder brother and his wife take good care of me."
Two members of the family were sent to the farm. They were so frightened that they didn't dare say anything even though they stayed at home and didn't work.
Sometimes when she comes home tired from work, she gets the cold shoulder from him, but she can handle it.
She thought about waiting for another two or three months, and when the children were better, she would go out to work and earn work points, and she would definitely raise her daughters to adulthood.
"That's good. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to me."
Li Sanhua smiled and nodded, "I understand, Secretary Shen, when will Zhao Shuisheng and the others be back? Can they come back for the New Year?"
"Do you want them back?"
Li Sanhua hesitated for a moment and glanced at Shen Annian's expression cautiously.
Shen An Nian noticed her reaction and said, "You don't have to care about what I think, you just need to say what you think."
Li Sanhua hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want him to come back."
Even if Zhao Shuisheng came back, he would not help her take care of the children, never help her with the housework, and would even order her to do this and that.
When Old Lady Ding said she was wrong, Zhao Shuisheng would join in and scold her.
What's the point of having a husband like this? It would be better for her to live alone with the child.
If ordinary people heard her say this, they would definitely think that she was too cruel and could not even tolerate her own husband, so she hesitated.
Shen Annian was deeply relieved to hear her words.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to come back. At least not in the next six months."
Li Sanhua finally felt relieved, "That's good."
"You can live your life at home without worry. Okay, I'm leaving first."
Shen Annian pushed the bicycle out of the courtyard and saw Zhaodi looking at the bicycle eagerly. She asked, "Do you want to ride a bicycle?"
Zhaodi pursed her lips a little embarrassedly and said, "It will damage the car."
"How could that be? I'm such a big person and I can't damage the bike even if I sit on it. How could you, who is so small, possibly damage it?"
Zhaodi was still very embarrassed, "Sister, can I really sit down?"
If she was talking to an ordinary person, she would definitely be embarrassed to ask such a question.
But the person who asked her the question was Shen Annian.
She remembered that when her mother was sick, this sister often visited them and brought them a lot of delicious food.
She is different from others.
It was this different attitude that gave her some courage in front of Shen Anyan.
"sure."
Shen Annian stopped the bicycle and carried Zhaodi to the back seat.
The child was already seven years old, but she was so light that she could almost feel her ribs even though she was wearing thick clothes.
"Sit tight, don't fall down."
Zhaodi blushed with excitement and nodded heavily, "Sit down."
"Then we're leaving," Shen Anyian got in the car, "hold my waist."
Zhaodi looked at her worn-out clothes. The cuffs were torn, revealing the cotton inside.
Looking at Shen An Nian's bright cotton-padded jacket again, he hesitated to reach out, "It will dirty your clothes."
This child's low self-esteem is heartbreaking.
If she were asked to ride in a car, she would be afraid of damaging it.
She was afraid of getting her clothes dirty by asking her to hold her.
This family must have suppressed her to such an extent that such a young child has become so inferior.
"It won't get dirty. If you don't hold me, we'll both fall down."
Zhaodi then reached out and hugged her gently.
She was warm and smelled wonderful.
Zhaodi always remembered this scene today. An older sister was blocking the wind and rain in front of her, and when she hugged her, she seemed to have nothing to be afraid of.
"Have a seat and we'll go."
Zhaodi nodded heavily, and suddenly remembered that she was sitting in the back. She nodded so that Shen Annian couldn't see it, and said crisply: "Sit down."
Shen Anyian pedaled his bicycle and ran out quickly.
This was Zhaodi’s first time riding a bicycle. The wind blew past her ears, and she felt like she was flying.
She hugged Shen Annian tightly, but she was not afraid at all.
The road outside the village was uneven and the bicycle slowed down.
Shen Annian found an opportunity to chat with her, "Zhao Di, why don't you go to school?"
"Grandma said that girls will marry into other families in the future, so studying is useless."
"Don't listen to her, how can studying be useless?
She is just an old-fashioned person, her head is full of decadent ideas of feudal remnants, we don't listen to her."
“Well, don’t listen to her, listen to your sister.
But my grandmother was imprisoned, and we had no money, so we couldn’t go to school.”
"Don't worry, there will be money. As long as the brigade has money and your family gets a lot of money, you will have money to go to school."
Zhaodi is only seven years old and cannot fully understand the meaning of her words, but she is very happy to hear Shen Annian say that she can go to school.
The cousin from my uncle's family was able to go to school, and he always looked down on them, saying that they were ignorant and didn't want to play with them.
If she could go to school, she would be able to curse back.
When Zhao Yongshi saw Shen Annian, he said a few words to the people next to him, and then ran over to find Shen Annian.
"Secretary Shen, you could have just asked the boys in the village to come over and tell me. Why did you come down to the fields by yourself?"
"I just came over to see what you guys were doing."
"There's not much work to do at this time of year. We're clearing the canal."
"Captain Zhao, I came here this time to ask about your beekeeping."
