In addition to the unpleasant Song family, Jiang Suinsui also met Zhang Wenfang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, during this trip back home.

Zhang Wenfang hadn't changed much. He was still aggressive and willful, but when he saw her, he no longer spoke harshly. Instead, he stopped to greet her and chatted with her calmly, as if the breakup had never happened.

Zhang Wenfang took the initiative to show her goodwill, so Jiang Shuinshun naturally wouldn't deliberately embarrass her. Anyway, they wouldn't have any more interactions in the future, so they were polite to each other, just like ordinary fellow villagers.

But Zhang Wenfang seemed to want to repair the relationship. She pulled her aside and talked to her about many things. She reminisced about their past sisterly love and asked her about her life in Beijing.

Jiang Suinshun dealt with it perfunctorily, and only became slightly interested when he heard her occasionally mention the names of some acquaintances.

Seeing that Jiang Suishun seemed very interested in the village gossip, Zhang Wenfang immediately talked about it.

From her, Jiang Suisui learned that their former good sister Li Daidi is no longer in the village. It is said that she ran to the city alone and her whereabouts are now unknown.

Jiang Suisui was a little surprised: "Isn't she with that educated youth... Zhou Qiang?"

Zhang Wenfang curled her lips and said, "Don't mention it. These male educated youths look respectable, but they are actually trash! They are good at eating and lazy, not as good as the men in our village. Li Daidi couldn't stand him after being with him for a while, so she ran away!"

It seems that these two people have met the wrong person and have completely lumped together all the male educated youth.

Jiang Sui Sui asked, "Where did she go? Doesn't her family know?"

Zhang Wenfang spread her hands and said, "Her family had long since stopped caring about her, but I felt sorry for her and went to see her twice. I didn't expect that she would suddenly disappear one day, and Zhou Qiang even went around shouting that she had run away. I guess it's probably because she saw your cousin go to the city, so she followed suit."

Jiang Suinsui was surprised again: "My cousin? Jiang Miaomiao also went to the city?"

After returning from this trip, Jiang Suinsui did not see Jiang Miaomiao. She thought that Jiang Miaomiao was keeping a low profile now. Besides, Jiang Miaomiao had always disliked her, so it was normal for her to avoid her.

I didn’t expect…

Zhang Wenfang: "Hey, you don't know yet? No wonder, it's embarrassing to tell this to others, so your uncle's family must keep it a secret. She's been on the run for a few months, and I heard someone saw her on the way to the county town. I heard she also took away a lot of money from the family, and her mother was so angry that she cried and cursed in the yard. Even if she covers her mouth now, almost everyone in the village knows about it."

Jiang Suinsui calmed down after hearing this. It is normal for a reborn heroine to be unwilling to be mediocre and low-key.

I didn't expect that this wave would also lead Li Daidi to run away.

Zhang Wenfang added: "I never realized that Li Daidi was so bold before. She stole a man and ran away. If I were her, she would have been quiet and obedient at first and found someone to marry. But now she has become like this. Tsk..."

Zhang Wenfang looked disdainful.

Jiang Suisui asked back, "Didn't you disobey your family at first? If you had been quiet, you wouldn't have married Shen Zhiwen."

Zhang Wenfang curled her lips and said, "How can I be the same as Li Daidi? She is stupid, and I am... just looking for something new! Besides, I am not marrying, it is Shen Zhiwen who is marrying into my family!"

Jiang Suinshun didn't expect Zhang Wenfang to be so excited now, and couldn't help but say speechlessly: "Okay, okay, come in."

Thinking of Shen Zhiwen, she asked another question: "Did he pass the college entrance examination?"

After the college entrance examination was opened, the first one was in December of 1977, and the second one was arranged a few months later.

At this point in time, if Shen Zhiwen had passed the exam, he would have already taken classes for half a semester.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenfang sneered, "He? There's no chance he'll pass the exam!"

Although she had a part in Shen Zhiwen's failure in the first exam, she did not interfere the second time.

It's just that if he doesn't work, he won't be given any food, and occasionally I'll just scold him and call him a useless piece of trash.

Who knew he was such a loser and actually failed the exam the second time.

Zhang Wenfang was planning to wait until his admission letter arrived and then take a look.

Who knew that without her, Shen Zhiwen himself would not pass the exam.

Zhang Wenfang felt bad when she thought of this man. The filter of intellectuals she had at that time had been completely shattered. When they really lived together, she found that Shen Zhiwen could not carry anything, could not help with farm work, and was just eating for free at home. Now he was not good at studying, and his test scores were not as good as Song Weizheng, who was born and raised in the village. He also wanted her family to pay for him to buy books and nutritional supplements, and he was taking advantage of him!

Zhang Wenfang felt that he had completely lost her face.

"I divorced him some time ago. He has moved back to the educated youth camp and is hanging out with that Zhou Qiang. Looking at the way they are, they will never be able to get into college in their lifetime! Don't get involved with him anymore in the future. I'm currently on a blind date."

Jiang Suisui: “…”

Good man, this development was something she had not expected.

Although the educated youth will be able to return home freely in the near future, without the upward path of university, Shen Zhiwen's future will surely not be smooth sailing.

She is even more relieved that in this era, Zhang Wenfang was able to see the situation clearly, kick the scumbag away, and try to find happiness again. This is rare and a good thing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Suisui smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Okay, then I wish you all the best and hope you can find a good family."

·

Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen didn't stay in the village for long.

This New Year was the first New Year after Zhao Qinglan reunited with her family, which was of great significance. Grandma Jiang understood that they could not be absent, so she sent them back the day before the Spring Festival.

On the train back to Beijing, the wind was howling outside and snowflakes were flying. Jiang Suisui looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Miaomiao who had left her hometown alone.

Although they are not on the same path, as someone who has experienced more than one life, Jiang Suishun still hopes that she can be safe and sound.

Perhaps because he was still thinking about her, not long after, Jiang Suishun really met Jiang Miaomiao again.

In the early spring of the following year, not long after the Spring Festival, the weather in Beijing was still freezing cold, and there was a puff of white mist when you spoke or breathed.

Jiang Suinshun still couldn't change her fear of cold, so she wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, leaving only her eyes exposed.

After class on Friday, Zhao Qianyun pulled Jiang Suinsui out of the classroom.

Jiang Suunshun was wearing thick clothes, which made her run a little heavy. She hurriedly put on her scarf while running: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Qianyun: "I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner. My dad must be waiting for me at the school gate now!"

"Look! Cousin is waiting for us downstairs, why aren't you in a hurry?" As soon as they ran down the teaching building, Zhao Qianyun pointed and shouted, "Cousin, we are here!"

Jiang Suisui was pulled by her and ran in front of Song Weizheng.

Song Wei Zheng was wearing a black coat and stood tall. He looked at them tenderly as they ran towards him. In the cold wind, his eyes were filled with warmth.

Jiang Suinsui came up to him, and before she opened her mouth, a smile appeared in her eyes.

Song Wei Zheng looked at her frowning brows, curled the corners of his lips, raised his hand to tidy up her slightly messy scarf.

Jiang Suunshun, who was covered tightly again, said through her scarf: "You've been waiting for a long time, are you cold?"

Song Weizheng shook his head: "It's not cold. Don't run so fast next time. Be careful not to breathe in the cold wind."

"Okay, okay," Zhao Qianyun felt inexplicably isolated and couldn't help but tease, "Dear cousin, I know you have a good relationship, but please have pity on a child like me who has no partner. I'm cold and there's no one to tie a scarf around me, so I have to hurry home to keep warm."

Jiang Suinsui chuckled and raised her hands to hug her: "Don't be sad, your cousin's wife is here to warm you up. Come on, come on, let's go home quickly."

The three of them walked towards the school gate, chatting and laughing, but when they arrived at the gate, they did not see Zhao Weiguo's car.

Zhao Qianyun stamped her feet and said dejectedly, "It's over. My dad must have been delayed by work again. I should have known not to let him pick me up."

Jiang Suinsui: "It's okay, I'll be here soon, my uncle is usually not too late."

Seeing Zhao Qianyun stamping her feet due to the cold, she looked around and suddenly said, "Qianyun, there's a store selling roasted sweet potatoes across the street. Let's go buy some to warm our hands."

Zhao Qianyun's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately: "Okay, I want to eat it!"

Jiang Suisui turned to look at Song Weizheng and said, "Should I bring one for you too?"

Song Weizheng shook his head slightly and said gently, "I don't need it. Be careful when crossing the road."

"Yeah!" Jiang Suishun nodded obediently.

Song Wei Zheng watched with tender eyes as Jiang Suunshun and Zhao Qianyun trotted to the other side of the street. Soon, two well-dressed figures surrounded the barbecue, and a smile appeared in Song Wei Zheng's eyes.

The roasted sweet potato stall is very simple, a small cart with a cylindrical oven on it. You can feel the heat as you get close to it.

The stall owner was a woman dressed in heavy, dusty clothes, with a scarf covering her head and face, leaving only the upper half of her face exposed. Her features and age could not be seen clearly. When she saw them approaching, she simply opened the lid of the oven and let them choose for themselves.

Smelling the sweet aroma of sweet potatoes coming out of the oven, Jiang Suunsui and Zhao Qianyun chattered carefully and carefully selected two sweet potatoes. When they were about to pay, Jiang Suunsui looked up and said, "I want these two. How much?"

The stall owner was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Suisui as if he was frozen, without replying for a long time.

Zhao Qianyun was confused and asked, "Aunt, we want to buy two sweet potatoes. Can you calculate how much it costs?"

Jiang Suinsui noticed that the stall owner was staring at her, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

She looked over carefully and found that the man's features... seemed a little familiar.

"You..." Jiang Suensui frowned and tried to recall. Before she could remember, the stall owner pulled down her scarf and said in a familiar tone, "Jiang Suensui, you are a noble person who forgets things easily now."

Jiang Suisui couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Miao...Sister Miaomiao?"

The face under the scarf was none other than Jiang Miaomiao, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Her facial features had not changed much, but a closer look revealed that she was completely different. She no longer had the impetuous and impatient look she had before, and she seemed to have become completely calm and steady.
