Her husband wanted to keep their eldest son, who would carry on the family line, but she couldn't bear to see Fan Yunli suffer in the countryside.
She had been trying to persuade her husband to keep their eldest daughter.
If Xiao Fan doesn't come back, he'll be considered a sent-down youth. My son has always been very loving towards his younger siblings, and he listens to what his mother says. So, I'll ask him to give his spot to Yun Li.
But if Xiao Fan comes back, does that mean she'll take up the spot that's reserved for her in the city?
In that case, Yunli would definitely have to go to the countryside.
Otherwise, your home will become a target.
In their compound, one must set an example and be strictly prohibited from having an extra spot.
Since his second daughter has been raised in the countryside for so long, she must have adapted by now.
Besides, if she comes back now, she'll be reassigned again in the blink of an eye. So what's the point of coming back? Isn't the travel expense for going back and forth just money?
Fan Yunli shook Zhou Xuehua's hand, seemingly puzzled, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xuehua snapped out of her reverie and asked, "Yunli, tell Mom, do you want to go to the countryside?"
She certainly didn't want to go to the countryside. Decades later, life in the countryside was no better than in the city, let alone now. She had heard it was dirty and dilapidated.
"Mom, of course I want to stay by your side and take care of you, but the decision to go to the countryside is irreversible..."
Zhou Xuehua patted her hand and said, "If you want to stay, Mom will find a way for you."

In Qingcheng, Fan Xiaofan finally received a rare letter from Beidu, sent by Zhou Xuehua.
She raised an eyebrow, opened the letter, and after reading it, she felt neither disappointed nor angry. She just felt that if she were really Zhou Xuehua's daughter, she would probably be disgusted to death by this mother.
In ordinary families, even if there is some favoritism among the children, it wouldn't be too excessive. But what about Zhou Xuehua?
Apart from her eldest daughter, it seems that she can leave her other children aside and not care about them. From the letter, Zhou Xuehua's words clearly reveal that with the current trend of sending people to the countryside, since she has already stayed there, she can make a hypocritical statement that she is not in good health and should not travel back and forth.
She had already prepared the necessary documents for her to go to the countryside and assigned her to Xiangyang Brigade.
Fan Xiaofan looked at the information in his mind and clicked his tongue twice.
When she received the letter, it looked bulging and she thought it contained some good stuff. It turned out that the person couldn't wait for her to go back and had already completed all the formalities for her.
In this way, Fan Xiaofan would be a legitimate educated youth, and according to the arrangements made by the higher authorities, he would not be allowed to return.
She curled her lips in a mocking smile. When Director Fang heard that a letter had come from Fan Xiaofan's family, he felt a little reluctant. Was such a good person as Comrade Xiaofan really going to leave?
However, thinking that Comrade Fan Xiaofan would be able to make a greater contribution after arriving in Beidu, he suppressed his reluctance and even instructed the people in the technical office to prepare a farewell party for Comrade Fan Xiaofan.
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaofan smiled and said, "Factory Manager, there's no need for that. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here and bother you all again in the future."
Factory Director Fang looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking, "Didn't your family send a letter saying you were going back to Beidu?"
Fan Xiaofan's face was filled with unconcealed sorrow, but she pretended to be strong and took out the letter: "My mother has completed my procedures for being an educated youth. I will be staying here from now on and will be settled in Xiangyang Brigade. I will need everyone's continued care in the future."
Factory Director Fang gaped in surprise. Comrade Xiao Fan's talent would have shone even brighter in Beidu. How could he have been assigned the status of an educated youth?
How do you mean this?
