Halfway through the lunch break, the horn of the Baigou Village Production Team suddenly rang.
"Hello, hello, hello, educated youth Tao Aihua, educated youth Tao Aihua, did you hear that?! It's educated youth Tao Aihua calling, please go to the production team headquarters as soon as possible to answer the call. educated youth Tao Aihua has your number."
…
The village party secretary's age-old and extremely old voice echoed in the mountains and fields. He shouted particularly loudly, as if he was afraid that it would not be heard if it was too far away and no one else could hear it.
When Tao Aihua heard that there was a call from her, she was surprised and confused. She couldn't figure out who would call her.
Her dad?!
impossible.
Unless her father had an intention, he would never call her after giving her a few hundred dollars.
However, she only thought of this possibility.
No matter who called her, Tao Aihua never thought of not answering the phone. She threw away the things in her hand, asked for leave from the team leader, and ran towards the brigade headquarters.
About fifteen minutes later, the phone at the brigade finally rang. The village party secretary picked it up first. After hearing the caller specifically ask for Tao Aihua, he handed the receiver to the person waiting at the door.
"Is that Tao Aihua?! I'm your Aunt Luo."
Just as Tao Aihua put the receiver to her ear, a woman's voice came over and she introduced herself.
"Aunt Luo, it turned out that you were the one who called me. I'm Aihua."
Tao Aihua never expected that the person who called her was Aunt Luo. She was really surprised.
"Aihua, I just received the letter you wrote to me. I was afraid that I was too slow to reply, so I called you right away. Let me make it short. Regarding the matter in your letter, I want to tell you that you should listen to your Aunt Qiao. Her daughter is not much younger than you, and she doesn't allow her daughter to get married in the countryside. So you should follow her example. It won't be wrong to watch more, observe more, listen more, think more, and wait a little longer."
"You are still young. Starting a family is not an escape from your current life. It cannot avoid the facts. It may even drag you into the abyss. Living alone is not difficult, but raising a child is really difficult. Life is not as simple as you think. What if you have the opportunity to return to the city, or the other party has the opportunity to return to the city, then can you still live?! What about the child?! Can you give up him?! Or can you afford to support him?! Like your Aunt Qiao said, you don't have this ability. Don't drag yourself into a desperate situation. Finding a partner and starting a family now will not save you, but harm you."
"Aunt is afraid that you will sacrifice your whole life for a little temporary warmth. I have a daughter and a son. If my daughter gets married in the countryside, I cannot agree. How old are you? It's not too late to talk about it when you are 22 years old. Listen to Aunt Luo, you can't support yourself now, so why not wait until later."
Luo Meiling yelled at Tao Aihua frantically, saying that she was living a happy life and her children were sensible and obedient, so she could focus on Tao Aihua. Otherwise, who would have the time to care about other people's affairs?
Tao Aihua silently listened to Aunt Luo's anxious and flustered persuasion on the other end of the phone. She was so moved and grateful that even her breathing became heavier.
The phone bill here is not cheap, it costs several dollars for just a few minutes. It is not a big deal, so no one is willing to make a phone call.
Luo Meiling was really afraid that Tao Aihua would lose her mind and get married with someone else, ruining her life, so she spent money to call her so urgently.
There are many things that cannot be said on the phone, otherwise she will give examples.
Luo Meiling only spoke for a few minutes before hanging up the phone. She felt that she had done her best and she could not stop Xiao Tao from doing anything.
However, after she finished the call, she decided to write back and give him some advice.
Tao Aihua didn't come to his senses until he heard a beep in the microphone.
"Your aunt is right. It's irresponsible to think about getting married before you're twenty-one or twenty-two. The girls in our production team can only get married after they're twenty, and the best ones have to wait until they're twenty-one to get married."
"You are still too young to think that finding someone to accompany you and to rely on for warmth, but your identities are educated youth. What if your parents find you a job in the city, and you return to the city, they will have to give up either you or him. Even if you are willing to give up the job in the city, what about him?! Will others give up the opportunity to return to the city for you?!"
"What if you have a child? Can you afford to raise it? It's very hard and tiring to raise a child alone, and there's no need to bear the consequences. Think more about the consequences. It's not too late to wait a few days."
At this time, unexpectedly, the village party secretary next to him took the initiative to talk to Tao Aihua and said a lot in one breath.
The voice on the phone was too loud, and it would have been difficult for the village party secretary not to hear, so he heard everything Luo Meiling said.
The village party secretary knew about Tao Aihua, the educated youth, and knew about her affairs and her relationship with Qiao Jiuru's family. These children were too young, and now that he knew about it, he could try to persuade them.
Tao Aihua didn't expect the village party secretary's grandfather to say this. Since so many people disagree with her dating someone, it proves that her idea is wrong.
Moreover, she really couldn't bear the consequences that everyone was talking about. She was already tired of living alone, and adding a child would only make her more tired and uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, village party secretary, thank you. I will listen to you and Aunt Luo."
She bowed deeply to the village party secretary, and then ran out of the brigade headquarters quickly.
