The next morning, Qian Sheng was preparing to get letters of introduction for Qian Rao and Jin Jinxiu.
Qian Rao trotted over and whispered a few words to Qian Sheng. Qian Sheng glanced at him sideways. Although he really wanted to go, his second son's wife hadn't given birth yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him, as the father-in-law, to go.
Under the influence of Qian Rao's various sugar-coated bullets and unequal treaties, Qian Sheng agreed to let Wen Yugui go along as well.
He rolled his eyes at the fourth brother and said, "You take your wife and your mother and stay quiet at your second brother's place. Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble for your second brother."
Qin Qianrao chuckled and patted Qian Sheng's shoulders, saying, "Dad, don't you know me? Yu Gui keeps a close eye on me. Besides, an honest and dutiful child like me will definitely be filial to my parents."
Qian Sheng: How could I not know what kind of person my own child is? He's so foolish, otherwise he wouldn't have let others drag him to gamble and lose so much money, and then stupidly let his sister help him win money!
Not long after the autumn harvest, some villagers noticed that Jin Jinxiu and Wen Yugui, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, had not been seen in the village for a long time.
I went to Qian Cai's house to inquire and learned that their second son, Qian Yu, had married a woman outside the family.
Because I've been busy with work, I haven't been able to come back here. But now that my wife is pregnant, I wrote to ask Jin Jinxiu to come over and help take care of her.
Now the aunties and grandmas in the village are envious again. Look at her, look at her. Her eldest son had a baby outside, and when she came back after going out to take care of her during her postpartum period, she looked completely different.
Now her second son is married and has a child, so she went to help take care of her daughter-in-law. Who knows what will happen when she comes back?
The place these people have traveled the most and the farthest in their lives is the county town. They have never even been to the provincial capital. So why is Jin Jinxiu always running around?
This time, he even brought along the fourth son and his wife, making all those young wives and girls who originally looked down on Wen Yugui turn into envious people.
Some people even made sarcastic remarks when they met Qian Duoduo, such as "his parents only love their son."
"My parents only love their youngest child."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My mother took my fourth brother and sister-in-law to my second brother's place just so that my fourth brother and sister-in-law could broaden their horizons."
No matter how good our village is, it can't compare to the big cities outside. Besides, my eldest and second eldest brothers are both away. When I grow up, I can go to visit either of them if I want; it's not something to rush.
These words immediately intensified the sour grapes of those who had been making sarcastic remarks, because they never had such an opportunity!
Winter quietly arrived, and Qian Duoduo brought his share of firewood to Feng Niaoniao's place to hibernate and learn high school knowledge from her.
Feng Niaoniao smiled and said, "There's no way to take the college entrance exam right now. Otherwise, with your grades, getting into a good university wouldn't be a problem."
Qian Duoduo smiled. She studied hard only in the hope of taking advantage of the resumption of the college entrance examination. Even if she couldn't get into those prestigious universities, she hoped to get into a decent university.
Feng Niaoniao sighed and said, "The best universities in our country are Peking University and Tsinghua University."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "These two schools are not easy to get into. I have a pretty good idea of my own score. Such prestigious universities are beyond my reach."
Feng Niaoniao, holding her textbook, looked out the window at the fluttering snowflakes and said softly, "If the college entrance examination could be reinstated, I would like to return to the capital."
Knowing the future, Qian Duoduo said softly, "That day will come."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Feng Niaoniao turned around, and the two girls smiled at each other.
Feng Niaoniao nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I believe that day will come."
Every time Liu Yuan appeared, she would bring some interesting and interesting stories from the village or the educated youth compound. This time, she brought with her the newly arrived educated youth, Jia Ao.
Qian Duoduo said, "I think I have some impression of Jia Ao. He looks very refined and wears black-rimmed glasses, right? He's not very good at working."
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "Duoduo, you really know how to summarize. That's right, this Jia Ao is the one who looks gentle and refined but isn't very good at working. So he knows he's not good at working, so he found someone in our village who is good at working and plans to marry into the family."
Qian Duoduo was taken aback and said, "Marrying into his wife's family? Does his family agree to it?"
Liu Yuan placed a handful of sesame seeds in Qian Duoduo's hand and pushed the basket containing the sesame seed shells over, saying, "This Jia Ao family has a total of six boys and not a single girl."
So, boys become less valuable when there are too many of them. Jia Ao was the fourth child in his family, a nobody, neither high nor low in rank. Otherwise, how would he have been chosen as one of the educated youth sent to the countryside?
Qian Duoduo nodded and asked, "If he marries into the family, has his family agreed?"
Liu Yuan mysteriously poked his head out and said, "When Jia Ao came, he was carrying a letter of severance from kinship. He said that after death, they would not have any contact with each other. That's why he decided to find a capable woman to marry into his family and support him."
Qian Duoduo asked curiously, "Who is he looking for?"
Liu Yuan said, "It's the daughter of Old Zhang, the tofu maker, from the east end of our village."
Qian Duoduo immediately thought of Zhang Chunmei. Although her name sounded feminine and delicate, it didn't match her personality at all.
