Zhan Chunyun and Yang Yonghua have left, and now, only Zhan Chunhua and Zhan Chunlan are left in the three sisters' room.
However, Zhan Chunhua did not suggest that Zhan Chunlan sleep in the bed, nor did Zhan Chunlan request to sleep in the bed.
Anyway, she'll never get used to this hard bed, no matter how long she sleeps on it, at least she has a little bit of freedom when she sleeps, and she doesn't have to squeeze in with others.
For Yang Yonghua's parents, the matter may have come to a temporary end, but the ripples it has caused are still quietly spreading and continuing to ferment.
Although Yang's own family knew that Yang Yonghua had signed up to go to the countryside first, outsiders always felt that Zhan Chunyun had to go to the countryside, but didn't want to let go of Yang Yonghua, her golden son-in-law, so she encouraged Yang Yonghua to go to the countryside as well, even though this was indeed the truth.
For a time, families with boys of school age were on high alert, closely investigating their children's friendships. If any signs of such a relationship were discovered, they would nip it in the bud. It was best to keep their own sons at home!
Especially since Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were also cadres, they knew more about the situation. Every year during the rural work season, many young men and women would go to the countryside for "love." Even those who didn't need to go would go; those who didn't want to go would scheme to get others to go, making the home feel like a home.
Xiao Cheng and Yang Yonghua were in similar situations; both were only children. At the most crucial time, he had a good relationship with his parents and would proactively talk to them about things at school.
Recently, I heard him say that he has a girl he likes. She is the eldest child in her family, with three younger brothers and two younger sisters, so her family has a heavy burden.
Xiao Cheng felt very sorry for that girl, so he would bring her an extra portion of breakfast every time he went to school, saying that she never ate her fill at home.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Xiao did feel sorry for the girl, as parents, no one wanted their son to marry such a woman.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Xiao dare not force them to separate, for fear of backfiring and causing them to run away from home in a fit of anger, just like someone else, and not return to this day.
The safest solution they could think of was to hide the family's household registration booklet; at the very least, they couldn't let Xiao Cheng act without their knowledge.
"Chunlan, you've been away from school lately, you've missed a lot of good stuff!" On the way to school, Li Xiuxiu couldn't wait to share the gossip with Zhan Chunlan.
"Yes, yes, you don't know, Xiao Cheng hasn't been to school for several days either." Fan Hongying didn't want to keep them in suspense and revealed the news directly.
"Xiao Cheng is making a scene at home right now, insisting on going to the countryside to be with Luo Shan. The house is in chaos every day!!!" Seeing that Fan Hongying was so direct, Li Xiuxiu simply blurted it all out in one breath. This gossip had to be spread by her, and Fan Hongying couldn't compete with her for it!
"I heard Luo Shan has already signed up, and her family took all her rural allowance, saying it was to prepare things for her trip. I wonder how much she'll be able to take with her." Fan Hongying chimed in, not to be outdone. Li Xiuxiu talked about Xiao Cheng, and she talked about Luo Shan too, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮
"Huh? Is Luo Shan really that obedient? The rural allowance is her last resort. If her family asks for it, she'll give it to them?" Zhan Chunlan wasn't interested in Xiao Cheng's affairs, but she was curious about Luo Shan. Was she really that capable? She thought that this kind of old-fashioned, virtuous woman only existed in old TV dramas.
“I don’t know what she was thinking. I guess she really cares about her family.” Fan Hongying also didn’t understand. “It’s said that she had a hard life growing up. With so many siblings, she was the only one who did all the housework. She’s not even fat on herself, yet she still feels sorry for those who are fatter than her. She’s so stupid!”
“Everyone has their own way of living,” Zhan Chunlan actually thought she was stupid. She guessed that she had been manipulated since childhood, so she was only thinking about taking care of her family.
She probably doesn't know yet that she can live for herself. Perhaps this trip to the countryside is a rebirth for her!
In fact, Luo Shan knew that once she gave away her money, she probably wouldn't get anything back. But she had no choice. She had so many people to support. Her older brother was immature, and her younger siblings were still small. What could she do if she didn't give them the money?
Therefore, she clung even more to Xiao Cheng, hoping that he would go to the countryside with her. She believed that Xiao Cheng's family would not abandon him, and she would be able to live a better life in the countryside.
But she didn't expect that there were quite a few people who thought the same way as her, and that others had already seized the opportunity, making the difficulty level skyrocket.
She hadn't seen Xiao Cheng for several days. These past few days, Xiao's mother had been taking him to and from school herself, afraid that he would try to secretly enroll. She hadn't been able to find a chance to talk to Xiao Cheng anymore.
You know, how come there's such a big difference between people? Some parents worry about their children going to the countryside, so they still pick them up and drop them off at school even though they're adults; while other parents don't want their children to go to the countryside, so they let their daughters take their sons' place. Those little things really do make a difference.
Now that Zhan Chunyun is gone, all the housework has fallen on Zhan Chunlan's shoulders again, and she runs home as soon as she gets out of class.
So, the future vision of young people—children buying groceries on their way home from school, cooking a few dishes after dropping off their schoolbags, and having their parents eat when they get home from work—was already a reality in the 1970s?!
Sure enough, parents born in the 1970s reaped all the benefits of that era!
"Let me tell you, she's your mother. Even if she didn't help take care of the children, you still have to support her!"
Oh my gosh~~~ This residential compound of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory is almost as big as No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Every day, the first thing they do when they open their eyes is gossip.
"Wang Dajiang, Wang Dahai, I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you still have the nerve to show your faces here?" Ever since her last outburst, Deng Xiaomei has completely let loose. This is the attitude a woman from Jiangcheng should have!
Wang Dajiang: "Deng Xiaomei, we are your uncles, and you call us by our full names like that? Didn't your parents teach you how to address people properly?"
Deng Xiaomei sneered: "I call myself a human being. Are you two even human? For over ten years, you've been living a carefree life on my salary. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Deng Xiaomei, you're spouting nonsense! When did we start taking your salary?" Ran Fengxian immediately retorted in a shrill voice. "Although we are from the countryside, we live by our own hands and are no worse off than you city people!"
Over there, Deng Xiaomei was facing off against the entire Wang family alone, while Liang Chao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, scratching his head and fidgeting restlessly.
He finally managed to say, "Everyone, please sit down and discuss your opinions."
He was immediately berated by the Wang family and Deng Xiaomei: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!!!"
He really shut up. During a break in the argument, Deng Xiaomei stole a glance and saw that he was indeed standing firmly behind her. Although they weren't arguing back, he wasn't trying to persuade her like before either. Fortunately, at least there was still hope!
