She remembered that one time her grandfather bought back a second-hand racing bicycle, which she liked very much. Although it was not as good as a brand new one, it was the only one in the village, so she regarded it as her own gift.
But after riding it for less than two months, it was sold by her grandfather. A few days later, on her cousin's birthday, he received a brand new bicycle from her grandfather, but she could only continue riding the tattered bicycle at home.
This kind of life continued until I graduated from college.
After my younger brother went to school in town, he no longer had to ride a bike to school. My grandparents would pay for a car to pick him up.
My parents always keep in touch over the phone. After they come back for the Spring Festival, we don’t have much time to spend together because we have to visit relatives and do other things.
My grandparents firmly believed that a good son is made under the stick. Although they never hit her, they always used repressive education.
When she graduated from college and drove to the city where her parents lived to work, her little sister was born. At this time, who would have time to care about the eldest adult?
Until she had a mental breakdown at work, quit her job and went home, and she never left the house again.
Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes. Details that she thought she had forgotten were so clear when she recalled them again.
The seemingly harmonious marriage between her parents is actually a mess. She herself doesn't believe in love, so how can she enter into an intimate relationship?
Xu Manman buried her head in the quilt.
"Host, don't worry too much. The environment in this world is different after all. Your condition can be easily alleviated."
Xu Manman said sullenly under the quilt, "No need, I don't want to get married in this life."
No matter how harmonious the relationship between her parents is in this life, or how loving the parent-child relationship is, Xu Manman doesn't think she can devote herself wholeheartedly to a relationship.
As for getting married and having children, she didn't want to face it even more. Her age in her past and present lives added up to almost fifty years old, and Xu Manman still felt that she could not bear that responsibility.
"Host, love... you can still give it a try."
Doctor Jin's words shocked Xu Manman a little. "Not getting married and just dating is definitely considered a hooligan in this day and age. Xiao Jin, do you want your host to be a scumbag?"
Although it sounds exciting, it is a bit challenging to Xu Manman's values.
She was a girl from the countryside in her previous life. Although she didn't want to get married, her ideas in this regard were still relatively traditional.
"Xiao Jin thinks that the host can give it a try, maybe there will be a surprise?" According to the system's psychological condition, the host's mental state in this life has improved a lot.
"... Let's talk about it after the college entrance examination."
It's already June. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination is announced in July, who will have the time to think about love?
There is indeed no time to think about love, but plans can never keep up with changes.
In August, the sun was still as hot as ever, and my clothes were wet and dry every day when I went to work.
Xu Manman was still taking classes in the space when Xiao Jin informed her that there was a lot of commotion outside. So she quickly changed her clothes and went out. She saw chaos and commotion outside. All the educated youth who heard the commotion came out and stood in the yard.
She came in at nine o'clock. After spending a night in the space, it was only a little after ten o'clock outside.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xu Manman asked Wan Fang who was standing under the eaves of the next house.
Wan Fang was holding the child. Because little Li Xu slept more during the day and didn't go to bed so early at night, she was the first to know the news.
She spoke a little hurriedly at this moment. She wanted to help but the child in her arms was still crying. She felt panicked and at a loss.
"Liu Hua is about to give birth. She said her water has broken. It's too late to go to the commune now. Li Xiao has gone to ask the village midwife. Manman, can you help go in and take a look?"
After hearing this, Xu Manman didn't care about anything else and went into the next room. Seeing Liu Hua sweating profusely from the pain, she quickly went forward to wipe her sweat. "Liu Hua, don't be afraid. Take a deep breath. I'll make you some egg tea, otherwise you won't have the strength later."
Liu Hua grasped her fragile nod,
Xu Manman got up and went out. She saw that everyone at the educated youth site was there. Yang Lili, who had experienced Wan Fang's childbirth last time, was now pregnant. Wan Fang, the only one with childbirth experience, had to take care of the child. Xu Manman took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
He began to give orders, "Liu Zhiqing, please help take care of Liu Hua first. If you need anything, call for help at any time. I'll go get some food.
Xu Zhiqing, please help me boil some more hot water.
Zhang Yuan, go check if the midwife has arrived.
Yue Feng, go call the barefoot doctor over in case of emergency.
Zhan Tianqi, help Lily in first, so she won't get bumped into when things get busy.
Sister Fang, taking the child back home will take time.
