Beidu compound.
The atmosphere at the Fan family has been rather tense these past few days.
At the dinner table, Fan Yunrong and Fan Yunlang exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak.
Zhou Xuehua felt she hadn't done anything wrong; she simply didn't want Fan Yunli to suffer.
When educated youth were sent to the countryside, only one of the Fan family's children was destined to remain. The eldest son was an adult man, and life in the countryside was tough. Shouldn't he, as the older brother, take care of his younger sister?
His pampered second daughter could not bear the hardships of the countryside.
It was because he knew that Lao Fan would definitely choose to keep his son over his daughter, so he preemptively registered his eldest son for a rural assignment.
The eldest son of the Fan family, Fan Yunyan, silently finished the porridge in front of him, wiped his mouth, and looked up to meet his father's guilty gaze.
The quota listed in the newspaper cannot be changed; he is determined to go to the countryside.
He glanced at his mother again; she was biting her lower lip, apologetically avoiding his gaze.
He sighed softly; the family had been like this for days because of his situation.
As the eldest son in the family, Fan Yunyan was raised to be very responsible and treated his younger siblings equally. Even Fan Xiaofan, the younger sister who was often overlooked by the rest of the family, felt some warmth in the family from her impartial older brother.
Fan Yunli was secretly delighted. She didn't want to go to the countryside to live a hard life. Just like in her previous life, her mother always protected her in whatever she wanted to do.
only……
A barely perceptible look of sympathy fell on her older brother. In her previous life, Zhou Xuehua had done the same thing. Her brother had gone to the countryside, but later, he performed an act of bravery in the place where he was sent, and never returned to Beidu alive.
Thinking of this, Fan Yunli curled her lips. In her opinion, what was called "acting bravely for a just cause" was just meddling in other people's business.
But she didn't care about all that, as long as she wasn't sent to the countryside.
Fan Yunyan felt that he would be leaving home soon, and he couldn't leave the house in such a mess before he left, so he said, "Dad, I am the eldest son, and it is my responsibility to take care of my younger siblings. Besides, I also want to respond to the call to go to the countryside, which is a good thing."
If given the choice, who wouldn't want to stay in Beidu?
Everyone knows that a choice can completely change the course of one's future. Staying in Beidu means a bright future with the help of one's parents' connections, but if one goes to the countryside, who knows when one can come back? Is one really destined to be a farmer for the rest of one's life?
Fan Yunrong and Fan Yunlang felt very uncomfortable at this moment. Their eldest brother had gone to the countryside, but what about them?
For a moment, I lost my appetite.
Instead, Zhou Xuehua gave Fan Yunyan an approving look. This son was so sensible; it was no wonder she doted on him. Her son was right; he should take care of his younger sister…
Fan's father knew his son was sensible and was worried about causing trouble at home.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can put in a good word for you."
When Father Fan said this, everyone in the room was a little surprised. Father Fan had always been upright and disdained backdoor dealings, fearing that it would bring him a bad reputation.
However, as for Fan's father, he had already wronged his son, so he still wanted to help him with this little bit of backdoor advantage.
Zhou Xuehua, who never learns from her mistakes, immediately said, "Let's choose the suburbs near our Beidu, so the children can come back in the future."
Fan Yunyan said, "I'll go to Qingcheng. My second sister is there. She's not in good health, so I can take better care of her if I go."
When Fan Xiaofan's matter was mentioned, Fan's father glared at his wife and lost his appetite.
