Chapter 643: The Male Leads a Confidant (Part 4)
The original owner was called Gu Qingcheng, born in 1933.
My ancestors were all farmers, and my father even worked as a farmhand.
The original owner himself also herded cattle and did odd jobs for others when he was a child.
However, the original owner was very smart. When the young master was studying in a private school, he squatted at the wall and eavesdropped, and he managed to learn better than the young master.
After liberation, the original owner became the first college student in their area.
He was admitted to a university in the capital with excellent grades.
In ancient times, this would be like passing the imperial examination and becoming the top scorer.
Therefore, folks from all over the country regarded the original owner as Wenquxing.
The original owner was very hardworking and studied very hard in college, and his grades were always very good.
Of course, it is not the top one, but somewhere in the upper middle range between excellent and average.
Although the original owner came from a poor family and was not the best student, he had one biggest advantage - he was good-looking.
A very standard square face, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, double eyelids, high nose bridge and slightly thick lips.
The 1.88-meter-tall man is the most dazzling one standing in the crowd.
His appearance is very consistent with the aesthetic of this era, neat and dignified.
To use a phrase from later generations, it is a face that indicates peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
When acting in movies, you can tell at first glance that he plays a decent role.
Even if he plays a spy, the audience will believe that he is an agent who has infiltrated the enemy.
Good looks + talent, the original owner also has a very good character.
He did not feel inferior because of his poor family background, nor was he dazzled by the prosperity of the capital.
He studies hard and helps his classmates enthusiastically. He is like the male protagonists in novels and movies of this era, honest, kind, passionate and motivated.
But reality is always cruel.
After four years of college, I have reached the most critical time in my life.
He is about to graduate.
Of course, with his family background, academic qualifications, and the current shortage of talent, he can easily get an excellent job.
Become what the folks call a cadre.
However, the original owner was in love, and his girlfriend was a child from a large compound in Beijing.
"My parents want me to apply for an opportunity to study abroad in Goose Country."
"Qingcheng, your grades are very good and your Russian is OK, you can come with me."
"Don't worry, as long as you want, we can apply successfully."
"By the way, my parents want us to get engaged, so that we can go abroad together legitimately!"
The girlfriend said this to the original owner.
The girlfriend's words were rather obscure, but they also hinted at something - as long as he established a relationship with her, he could go study abroad abroad!
The original owner must be willing to go to Goose Country and see the wider world.
But he has a very strong self-esteem.
He may not feel inferior, but he will not——
Although his girlfriend did not ask him to marry into the family, if he agreed and accepted the woman's help, he would be relying on the woman.
The original owner was the golden phoenix that flew out of their village.
A real phoenix! Not some ordinary men in later generations who have nothing but dare to call themselves "Phoenix Men".
Tsk, this is ridiculous, Phoenix Man is certainly not a nice title, but not everyone can be one.
A Phoenix Man must first be a Phoenix! Not a pheasant with bright feathers.
The original owner had an outstanding appearance, comparable to a movie star; he was smart and hardworking, and was the first college student in the entire county after the founding of the People's Republic of China;
He is an upright and kind person. He may not be the top talent, but he is also a pillar recognized by teachers and classmates.
He is a true nobleman from a poor family. Apart from his poor family background, he has no other shortcomings!
Therefore, the original owner has always been proud.
Since he was a child, he dreamed of bringing honor to his family through his own efforts and giving his parents and relatives the best life.
The original owner was quite chauvinistic in nature.
His machismo is genuine, that is, he believes that he is the pillar of the family and the country.
Outside, he worked actively to serve his country;
At home, he will shoulder the burden of a man.
Support the family, be filial to parents, protect wife and children, and become the mountain of the entire family.
...It is impossible for such an original owner to accept a wife who marries into the family and lives off her.
However, while backbone is important, reality is more important.
The original owner knew very well that the opportunity to go abroad was very rare.
If he missed it, he would regret it.
There is also a girlfriend, whom the original owner really likes.
However, there was always a trace of resentment in his heart.
The original owner was smart and clear-headed. He knew that if he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, he would not be happy in the future even if he reluctantly stayed with his girlfriend.
But he couldn't bear to give up love and money, and he was unwilling to do so! So, now it was April, two months before graduation, and the hesitant and struggling original owner suddenly asked for leave and ran back to his hometown.
He needed to calm down, think carefully, and then make a decision! After taking a train for a day and a night, he arrived at the county town and waited for the ox cart in the village. The original owner followed the villagers who came to the county town to buy things and rushed to the village with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Gu Qingcheng came through halfway.
The original owner was full of thoughts and closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car.
The villagers were quite familiar with him and knew that the young top scholar was a scholar, whether he was aloof or shy.
Everyone understood the original owner's bad words.
Even if the original owner didn't say a word, the villagers would still talk about him nonstop.
"…Huh! So, I really have become that 'other person's kid next door'?"
After Gu Qingcheng integrated her memories, she let out a sigh of relief.
When reading the story introduction, Gu Qingcheng focused on two people - the tomboy and other people's children.
Her character value is not too low, so the chance of randomly matching with an important character is very high.
Maybe she still isn't the main character whose name appears in the introduction, but she may be the female lead (male lead) or the second male or female lead.
This time, it was obvious that she was dressed as the control group for the new male protagonist.
From the original owner's memories and the known story outline, Gu Qingcheng seemed to understand the original owner's wish.
Living off someone? And wanting everyone to envy you? Gu Qingcheng nodded secretly, indicating that it was no problem.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Having completely integrated into this body and with a plan in mind, Gu Qingcheng relaxed.
She began to look around with interest.
Well, there's nothing good to see actually.
She was not wrong in her guess just now. The current time was five or six years and the war was over.
The country and the people have ushered in a new life and entered a stage of rapid development.
Regardless of their job position, everyone is passionate and excited.
The air seems to be filled with the breath of freedom and progress.
But there is still a lot of work to be done.
The current urbanization process has not yet begun, and most of the people are still in rural areas.
On both sides of the loess road are vast tracts of land and farmers working hard on the land.
This year is a rare good year, with good weather and crops growing very well.
Just by looking at this picture, you can tell that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
The village where the original owner lived was called Liujiamiao, but there was no one with the surname Liu in the village. Instead, Gu and Ning were the major surnames.
The village is neither big nor small, with 300 households and more than 1,000 people.
The original owner was a descendant of the Gu family, one of the two major surnames. His grandfather had four children in total.
The original owner's father was the second child.
Well, this is a very embarrassing ranking that can be easily overlooked by parents.
In fact, Mr. Gu is indeed the least favored child among his parents.
His parents’ neglect and even favoritism made Gu’s father obedient since childhood.
Just like an old ox in the family, it does the most work and eats the least.
When he grew up and his younger brothers got married, his parents thought of him.
Although Gu's father is said to be honest, he is actually a bit cowardly and foolishly filial.
His only advantage is that he looks good. He is tall and has regular features. He looks like a good and honest person.
Relying on his good looks and the reputation of being an "honest man", Gu's father successfully deceived, no, he married a girl from the next village.
Gu's mother's original family was not very good either.
A typical example of favoring boys over girls, she was brainwashed by her parents since she was young to devote her whole life to her brother and her mother's family.
However, Mother Gu is different from Father Gu. She is "rebellious" by nature and has not been brainwashed successfully.
On the contrary, she became the most aggressive and disobedient among the sisters.
In this era, in rural areas, it is not easy for girls who are too aggressive to find a partner.
After much delay, Mother Gu became an old maid, so she got together with Father Gu, who was also left alone.
After getting married, Gu's father changed from a good son who obeyed his parents to a henpecked husband.
Gu's mother is really fierce. She dares to overturn the table in her husband's house.
Father Gu: ...Tigress, wuwuwu! He is an honest man. When he was young, he listened to his parents. Now that he has a more powerful wife, he listens to her.
Grandma Gu: ...He is such a loser! He can't even control a woman.
Although Grandma Gu cursed harshly, she was really afraid of that unruly daughter-in-law.
After several battles between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, Grandma Gu failed to gain the upper hand, so she simply separated the young couple.
Well, they didn’t give us anything but two bowls and the land that was allocated to us in the village.
Gu's mother was also a ruthless person. She took the two bowls and showed off all over the village.
After the quarrel, the villagers thought that Mother Gu was fierce and unfilial, but they also thought that the old couple in the Gu family were too cruel.
The daughter-in-law is an outsider, but the son is my biological child.
Moreover, the neighbors have seen how honest, obedient and capable Gu's father is over the years.
Half of the seven large tiled houses built by the Gu family were built thanks to Gu's father.
As a result, when the family was to be divided, the son was not given a room or money, but only two bowls.
Is this a division of the family or kicking the son out?
Being unfilial is certainly something that people will laugh at, but being unkind is not a good reputation either.
Grandma Gu was humiliated by Gu's mother, and then, under the "persuasion" of the village chief and clan elders, she managed to give the three dilapidated old houses to Gu's father.
With this, Gu's mother cut off all ties with the Gu family.
The two families almost became enemies, and even if they met on the road, they would pretend not to see each other.
It was not until the original owner, Gu Qingcheng, was admitted to the middle school in the county and became a "promising child" recognized by everyone that the people at the Gu family's old house began to interact with Gu's father and mother again.
When Gu Qingcheng was admitted to a university in Beijing, even the county leaders came to congratulate him, and he became the pride of the entire Gu family...
Well, you can think of Mr. Zhu Shimao as an example. He was so handsome when he was young!
