Chapter 7: Good Wife and Good Mother



what?

Did she hear it right?

Has the college entrance examination been resumed?

Shen Zhizhu held the basket tightly and tightly, feeling both excited and nervous.

Since she was a child, Shen Zhizhu has had a dream of going to college. She longs to leave that isolated little mountain village and go to the bustling big city to take a look.

She is smart and talented in fashion design, and she is also very hardworking and studious.

When she was a child, she often carried a small backpack and secretly listened to the teacher's lectures in the corner of the classroom while going to the mountains to collect pig grass.

Her aunt's family exploited her to the core, so how could they let her go to school? So, she did farm work while eavesdropping at school.

Later, Shen Zhizhu only knew a few words, which made her envious of those who could read and write.

This is also one of the reasons why she fell in love with Du Manjun in the end!

Thinking about it now, Shen Zhizhu must have been crazy at the time. She ignored a perfect man like Xu Haonan and fell in love with that sanctimonious guy.

After living a new life, Shen Zhizhu is still very determined. She wants to go to college. Only knowledge can change her love and destiny!

She didn't cherish what she had in her previous life, so now that she has a chance to live again, she must make the most of the present.

Now she just needs to save enough money to prepare for college.

Thinking like this, Shen Zhizhu hugged the rice and meat he bought today tightly and tightly, and returned home in a happy mood.

Back in the rough mud house, the three simple rooms, with no unnecessary furnishings, seem exceptionally warm and cozy.

Thinking back to his past life, even though he was successful in his career and bought a luxurious villa in a big city, he still didn't smile at all. Thinking about it now, Shen Zhizhu finally understood that even if he had a fortune, what would it matter? A true heart is the most precious thing!

There was a look of relief in Shen Zhizhu's eyes, and she curled her lips and smiled faintly.

Thankfully, she was glad that it was still in time.

Putting down the rice noodles and lean meat he had bought, Shen Zhizhu rolled up his sleeves and decided to prepare a good meal for Xu Haonan.

Look at Xu Haonan again, the man at this moment is sweating profusely in the yellow earth.

In this era when men are the main labor force, men in every household work in the fields to earn money.

As the sun sets, the brothers from the same village have put down their hoes and sat on the ground to rest. "Brother Xu, take a rest. The sun is about to set. We have to go home for dinner later."

"Yeah, I'm so tired. I work like a cow all day long, but I can only fill my stomach. When will this life end?"

Zhang Tian from Licun couldn't help but complain a few words, then picked up the sweat towel around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There were three years of natural disasters in the past, and coupled with the scarcity of material resources, the lives of ordinary people were not much better.

Even in 1974, it was just enough to fill your stomach.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll do it for a while."

Xu Haonan did not stop what he was doing and continued to swing the hoe with great pleasure.

The man had a tall and straight figure, and his muscular body looked very strong. He worked as hard as he could, just to try to gain some centimeters so that he and Shen Zhizhu could live a good life.

Seeing how desperately he worked, several people from the same village shook their heads and went down the mountain with their hoes on their shoulders.

The summer season lasts an hour longer than usual. After Xu Haonan finished the work at hand, he walked towards the mountains again.

Xu Haonan liked hunting on weekdays. Relying on his ability to go to the market to pay for hunting wild animals in the mountains, he saved up 600 yuan for the betrothal gift and married Shen Zhizhu.

The eldest aunt of the Shen family was very demanding. The 600 yuan dowry had already emptied Xu Haonan's family savings.

Xu Haonan was always very happy in his heart. Although he didn't know that Shen Zhizhu had cried and made a fuss and even threatened to commit suicide because she didn't want to marry him, she had changed her mind now. He still wanted to live a good life with her.

Xu Haonan was extremely lucky today. In addition to catching several wild rabbits, he also caught several big, plump pheasants.

While it was still night, Xu Haonan packed the spoils into bags and secretly took them to the black market to sell them. The price was twice as much as the normal market price.

Holding these bills, Xu Haonan walked towards home with a happy smile on his face.

The man's idea is very simple. As long as he has money and treats Shen Zhizhu sincerely, the woman will naturally live a stable life with him.

A moment later, Xu Haonan returned home sweating profusely. As soon as he stepped into the house, he was attracted by the strong aroma of food and his mouth was watering.

"Go home, wash your hands and eat!"

In the kitchen, Shen Zhizhu turned his head to glance at Xu Haonan, and then walked out with a bowl of fragrant braised pork.

The woman had a pretty face and was a famous beauty in the village. She wore an apron and a hairband with small floral patterns, and looked like a good wife and mother.

"Why, you've been busy all afternoon, but you're not hungry yet?"

Xu Haonan looked at Shen Zhizhu foolishly. Ever since she woke up from her last hunger strike, he felt that every time he was with her was unreal.

If Shen Zhizhu wanted to please him and let her leave, he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths.

In Xu Haonan's heart, as long as she is happy, he will never force her to stay.

"Okay, don't stand here. I've made the braised pork and steamed the rice. Go wash your hands and we'll eat."

Seeing his silly look, Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"well……"

After hearing this, Xu Haonan washed his hands and slowly sat down at the table.

"This is the money I earned from hunting in the mountains today. There is a hundred dollars in odds and ends. You are the one who is in charge of this house. Take this money and buy yourself two new sets of clothes."

Xu Haonan still felt a little uneasy as he picked up the bowl. He gave all the money in his pocket to Shen Zhizhu.

"Okay, I'll keep this money. After all, our life belongs to the two of us, so let's live a good life together in the future."

Shen Zhizhu didn't hesitate and put a handful of money directly into his pocket.

[That's fine. When I save enough money, I'll give you a few kids. Then at least you won't have to worry about food and clothing!]

"cough……"

Xu Haonan, who was eating rice in big mouthfuls, was stunned for a moment.

Hearing this, he coughed violently, and the food in his mouth sprayed onto Shen Zhizhu's equally surprised face.
