When Su Ting and her husband bought the fan on Sunday, they also brought their bicycles home.

I had wanted to buy it a long time ago, but every time I went to the city I forgot to bring my ticket, so this matter has been put off until now.

A few days ago, He Dongchuan brought back the fan ticket. In order to prevent forgetting again, Su Ting put the two tickets together. It turned out that this was indeed useful. If she hadn't seen it when she took the fan ticket in the morning, she would have forgotten it again.

This also reminded Su Ting, so she counted the money again before going out, making sure she had enough before going out.

The journey took about the same amount of time as usual, but after getting off the bus the three of them headed straight for Xinhua Bookstore, where they agreed to buy the new issue of Comic Book.

They arrived early, and the salesperson hadn't even started working yet, yawning behind the counter. There weren't many customers who were seriously choosing books, but there were quite a few people sitting in front of the comic book shelves, and most of them were teenagers, who would sit cross-legged and read a comic book with great interest.

Seeing them, He Yan said softly, "There are so many people."

"Yes." Su Ting nodded. School was closed on Sunday, so all the kids went to Xinhua Bookstore.

As they were talking, the three of them walked to the bookshelf where the comic books were kept. Only then did they realize that compared to here, there were not that many children sitting in front of the first few rows of bookshelves.

It's normal to think about it. After all, "Lianhuan Pictorial" is the most widely circulated pictorial in the country, with a large number of readers. In addition, the new issue of the magazine has just been released, so naturally there are many readers who come to try it out.

Looking at the bookshelf again, this entire bookshelf has four rows, all filled with "Comic Books". The top and bottom rows are past issues of the magazine, and the middle one is the latest issue.

The latest issues of magazines are divided into unopened ones for sale and opened ones for people to read. The latter are also quite numerous, occupying a quarter of a row of shelves. There are sometimes more than 20 or 30 copies.

But now, the picture magazines for people to read are empty. Look at the children on the ground, they have sat from this bookshelf to the next bookshelf, which shows how popular "Comic Book" is.

For Su Ting in the past, the popularity of "Lianhuan Pictorial" had nothing to do with her. On the contrary, the more popular the magazine was, the more difficult it was to submit articles.

But now Su Ting's comic strip has been approved, and she felt proud to see this prosperous scene. When she reached out to take the picture, she took a peek and saw that there were two people sitting in front of her who were reading "Leaving Taoyuan Village".

Seeing that Su Ting held the magazine for a long time without moving, He Dongchuan walked behind her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Ting put her index finger to her lips, then lowered her head and pointed at the little girl sitting on the ground next to her, and made a smirking expression.

He Dongchuan looked down in the direction she pointed, a smile appearing on his face.

He Yan lowered his head and looked at the two people's puzzle. Although he could not read much, his memory was good. He quickly found the familiar place among the many pictures: "Mom! This is the same as yours..."

Su Ting quickly pulled out two picture books from the bookshelf, then bent down and covered He Yan's mouth: "Don't disturb everyone from reading."

He Yan also noticed the people flipping through the magazines, and the eyes that were focused on him because of his shout. He put his hand on the back of Su Ting's hand, shook his head, and answered with his actions: "I won't say anything."

Seeing this, the others lowered their heads and continued to read the comics. Su Ting also let go of her hand and stood up and said, "Let's go back."

He Dongchuan raised his hand and pulled out two more copies of "Comic Books" from the bookshelf, raised his chin and said, "Well, let's go."

"Two are enough." Su Ting raised her right hand, indicating that she had already taken the picture magazine.

He Dongchuan said: "I want to read one book alone."

The price of "Comic Book" was 20 cents per copy, and four copies were only 80 cents, which was not expensive for them. And it also had the stories she drew, so he was willing to buy two more copies.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Su Ting said, "Okay."

…

Before going to the department store, Su Ting was a little worried that they would buy too many things and it would be difficult to carry them. After they finished buying, she realized that she was overthinking.

Bicycles are a means of transportation in this era. When necessary, a lot of things can be placed on the back seat. A bundle of ropes can carry not only one electric fan, but also two fans stacked together.

Of course, this was mainly because He Dongchuan was very strong, otherwise if Su Ting were to help, she and the bike would fall down in no time.

The 28-inch bicycle itself is quite heavy. When Su Ting was choosing a bike, she tried it and found that the handlebars were much heavier than the bicycle she rode when she was in school. This bike was also high. She walked half a circle holding the handlebars and just didn't dare to ride it to try it out.

Firstly, she didn't know how to ride this kind of bike and was afraid of falling off if she got on. Secondly, she thought that all the appliances sold on this floor were large items. It would be no big deal if she fell, but it would be troublesome if she damaged the appliances, which might even lead to bankruptcy.

She didn't dare to try it, but He Dongchuan didn't care so much. He sat on the bike and started riding. After a while, he came back safely.

After riding a lap, He Dongchuan got off the bike and said, "Let's take this one."

When Su Ting buys big items, she only looks at the brand. Although there was no rule of two-year warranty and six-month replacement at that time, big brands had good quality control and the items would not break down for two or three years after you brought them home. If there were any problems later, they were only minor ones and could be fixed by a man at home.

The electric fans she bought twice and the bicycle she picked this time were all branded products, so after He Dongchuan made the decision, she did not hesitate any more and happily asked the salesperson to issue the bill and she took it to pay the bill herself.

The bill was for two items together. The cashier at the department store took the bill and looked up at Su Ting several times.

It goes without saying that electric fans are one of the three major items of a bicycle, and they are also a rare item in this era. Not only are they hard to get, they are also not cheap. An average family may not be willing to spend the money even if they save for half a year.

Su Ting is better. She bought two at one time. It doesn't attract attention!

Although she was surprised, the cashier saw two tickets and a big stack of money handed over with the bill. Without asking any questions, he quickly calculated the total amount, counted the money, issued a receipt, and handed it to Su Ting together with the change.

But once the people left, I started to murmur to the salesperson at the counter next to me: "Do you know what she bought?"

"What?"

"A Watson electric fan and a Forever bicycle."

"Wow! That must be a lot of money!"

"Money is nothing. What people give are tickets, fan tickets, bicycle tickets."

Industrial coupons are rare, but not that rare. As long as you have a proper job, your employer will issue you two every month. If you save them up and borrow them, and spend a year on them, you can grit your teeth and buy a car.

Tickets are different. No matter how big a state-owned factory is, it may not have many bicycle tickets in a year. Even if there are, they will not necessarily be issued to employees. Not all leaders have bicycles. Even if they want to issue tickets, the factory will not give them to anyone casually. At least they have to be labor models or outstanding employees in the workshop.

Not to mention that Su Ting offered two tickets at once, so you can tell without thinking that her family conditions are not bad.

At the cashier's suggestion, Su Ting and her friends pushed their bicycles carrying electric fans past the counter and were about to go downstairs when they attracted the attention of all the sales clerks on both sides.

After they disappeared at the stairs, the sales assistants turned around in tacit understanding and started talking about them. Some praised the family for their good looks, while others speculated about He Dongchuan's occupation. Each one was more excited than the other.

…

Su Ting and his friends not only attracted attention in the department store, but also when they returned to their family compound, the wives of soldiers they met opened their mouths wider than the last when they saw the brand new bicycle that He Dongchuan was pushing and the big guy tied up on the back seat.

One military wife said bluntly: "Are you guys moving the department store back home?"

"I do want to, but I need that much money." Su Ting said, and then added, "Not only money, but also tickets."

"That's about right. You have bicycles and electric fans here. You can't find a house as grand as yours in all the other courtyards."

This statement is a bit sour and the content is a bit sensitive.

In the 1970s, praising people for being generous was not a good thing to say, and there were hundreds of families living in the family compound. He Dongchuan was a battalion commander, but he lived a more generous life than the commander and the political commissar. What would people think if this got out?

Su Ting is no longer the naive person she was when she first traveled through time. She has become more sensitive to current events. Her expression immediately faded upon hearing this, and she explained in a moderately loud voice, "What? The bicycle was part of our wedding gift, and the electric fan was also exchanged for the sewn plane ticket from the gift."

After she finished explaining, she saw that the other party still had something to say, so Su Ting spoke before her: "But my parents loved me, so they made an agreement with Lao He's family before we got married. They didn't want any betrothal gifts, and they didn't want any of the three major items, so that we could use them ourselves. Lao He only bought a watch at the time, and only prepared money and tickets for a bicycle sewing machine, saying that I could buy them myself after arriving on the island. I thought that sewing was not good, so I exchanged tickets with someone and replaced the sewing machine with an electric fan."

After saying that, he did not forget to ask the other party how they dealt with the three major items during the wedding.

"Well, we got married early, and he hadn't even proposed marriage at that time, so how could we have that much money to buy the three big items?"

"That's not right. I heard you say before that when you got married, his family bought you a watch in addition to the betrothal gift," Su Ting stretched her neck and glanced at her wrist. "Where's the watch?"

Of course the watch was kept by her parents' family. Not only the watch, but also the betrothal gift given by her husband at the time of marriage was intercepted by her parents' family. They only spent money to hire someone to make a quilt for her, made two sets of clothes for her, bought some miscellaneous household items, and then sent her out.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was the same way when every family married off their daughter. They asked for all the gifts but no dowry. Her parents gave her quilts and bought her clothes, which was considered generous to her.

But compared with Su Ting's family, their generosity seems to be far behind.

With Su Ting's words of concern in mind, she didn't have the nerve to tell her where the watch was. She said hesitantly, "Watch, watch... Oh, I remembered that there's still water burning on the coal stove at home. I have to go back and check it out." Then she slipped away without stopping.

Su Ting: “Haha.”

Although this person was annoying, those words reminded Su Ting that next time someone asked her about bicycles and electric fans, she should repeat what she had said to them first without asking others.

After she repeated these words seven or eight times, almost everyone in the family knew about it, and her ears became completely quiet.

Some people also murmured behind his back, saying that He Dongchuan looked like a nice person, but he was actually quite scheming.

Although the two elders of the Su family had said something, people can change. They were open when talking about getting married, but many of them changed their minds when it came to the wedding. He only sold one of the three major items, and the remaining two items were all prepared with tickets that could only be used in Rong City. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted them to keep their promise and not to take the three major items of the betrothal gift?

I just don't know how much the betrothal gift was, and whether he let Su Ting take it all back. If she brought it all back, it would be like marrying a wife for free.

Because they were saying bad things about people, these people only dared to talk about them behind their backs and no one said anything to Su Ting or He Dongchuan.

But people are bound to bring out some meanings in their words when they are talking excitedly. Gradually, Su Ting still heard some gossip.

To be honest, she was a little speechless. These gossipers thought about men and parents, but why didn’t they think that women are also human beings and need money to live?

Should the bride price be given? She thinks it should be given.

Should it be left to her parents? She thinks not.

But she just thought about these words in her heart. After all, some time had passed, and they didn't come to her to complain or rush to persuade others. Even if others didn't say anything, she would feel that she was sick.

Having said that, after pushing the bicycles back home, Su Ting and He Dongchuan did not rush to do anything big, but instead opened the comic book they had bought and started reading it.

He Yan was more concerned about the electric fan because his mother told him before going to the department store that the fan should be placed in his room for him to blow.

For this reason, his mother made three rules with him. She asked him to promise not to touch the plug when sleeping, not to adjust the fan speed in the middle of the night, and not to put his hands inside the fan. If he did not agree, she would not buy him the electric fan.

He Yan thought that if he put his hand into the plug he would be electrocuted, and if he put his hand into the fan cover he would be cut. His parents had told him this many times, and he was not stupid, so of course he would not do such a thing.

There is nothing wrong with adjusting the wind speed, but his mother said that there are three rules and none of them can be missing. If you want to agree, you have to agree to all of them. If you don’t agree, you don’t have to agree to all of them.

This matter was not that important to him, so he agreed to it.

He Yan looked at the cardboard box on the ground with shining eyes. This was his electric fan!

He turned his head, wanting his father to help him open the carton so that he could touch his fan without any distance! But when he turned his head, he saw his parents sitting around the dining table, each reading a book.

He Yan walked over and poked his father's side with his hand - since he was short, it was convenient to poke there, and it was very effective. Almost as soon as he poked his hand, his father turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Dad, what are you looking at?" He Yan asked.

He Dongchuan picked up an unopened illustrated magazine from the table, handed it to him and said, "Take a look for yourself."

He Yan said "oh", took the picture magazine and read "comic book" while turning to the first page and reading: "Chu Tao, Tao..." He knew a limited number of words and didn't know the origin of the word, "Dad, what village is Chu Tao from?"

"Leave Taoyuan Village."

"Oh." He Yan lowered his head, opened the cover and continued reading.

That’s right. The publishing house put Su Ting’s story first. Moreover, the “Comic Book” of this era was different from the common magazines in later generations. It was very paper-saving. Basically, the first story was on the cover, and the table of contents was placed on the inside page of the back cover.

So as soon as He Yan opened it, he saw the content of Su Ting's painting and started reading.

However, because he didn't recognize many of the words, he read haltingly and had to ask his father from time to time.

Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Su Ting raised her head and saw that each of the three of them had a copy of the "Comic Book". Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.

In fact, He Dongchuan was quite foresighted. Buying four books at one time was not a lot.

I couldn't help but think more. The new issue of the comic book has been on the market for a week. I wonder if it is available for sale in major bookstores across the country. Also, do you like the stories she drew?

…

While the He family of three were reading the "Comic Book", Zheng Yun, who was in Shanghai, had just returned home with the book he had bought.

Zheng Yun is 22 years old and works as a worker in a textile factory. She is currently unmarried.

Although the legal age for marriage is 18, the country advocates late marriage and late childbearing, and factory leaders often do ideological work for employees. Therefore, there are many girls like her who are still unmarried in their twenties in the textile factory.

But this does not mean that her family is not anxious. Marriage is a major event in life. It is rare for two people to be attracted to each other at first sight, not to mention that they have to get along with each other after they fall in love. It also takes several months from engagement to marriage.

Twenty-two years old, not young anymore.

In the past six months, Zheng Yun's mother has been very worried about her marriage, but she is fine.

In fact, she doesn't see any benefit in getting married.

Now when she gets home from get off work, she can do her housework and take a shower and then have all her time to herself. She can sleep if she wants to, or read comics if she wants to.

She can also make appointments with friends and colleagues to go shopping on Sundays. If she comes across any new magazines, she can buy as many as she wants. After all, apart from the living expenses she pays every month, her mother doesn't care how she spends the rest of the money.

Well, sometimes if she buys too many comic books, her mother would nag her a few times, but overall she is relatively free.

It's different after getting married. Her married colleagues are not only busy at work, but also have to take care of their husbands and children when they get home from get off work. After receiving their monthly salary, they would like to spend every penny of it.

She found it scary just looking at it.

Let her enjoy herself for a few years, Zheng Yun thought, and opened the comic book he bought.

"Leave Taoyuan Village."

The name is a bit ordinary and it's hard to tell what story it comes from.

The above was Zheng Yun’s thought when she first opened the picture magazine. When she saw Li Maochang waking up from his coma and learned from a girl named Qingqing, who was wearing a skirt commonly seen before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, that this was Taohua Village, she vaguely thought that perhaps this name was just the right one for the theme.

Zheng Yun continued to read on, and subsequent developments confirmed her guess.

When the hero Li Maochang walked out of the room, he saw the crisscrossing paths outside, children playing on the roadside, curling smoke rising from cooking fires, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking coming from nowhere... forming a painting called "Utopia".

Although "Peach Blossom Spring" is a classic, it is widely circulated and people like her who have attended junior high school and high school should know it.

If the author is working with a publisher and just drawing the original story, that's fine, but isn't it inappropriate to just change the name and background and claim it as your own?

But Zheng Yun changed his mind and thought, "Comic Book" is the most circulated magazine at present, the publisher should not destroy the Great Wall, let alone... a durian?

As soon as he saw the strange name, Zheng Yun knew that this was a newcomer.

It’s not that she disliked the name, but she read a lot of picture magazines and comic books. The bookshelf against the wall in the room was bought by her specifically to store comic books.

In her mother's words, the comic books sold at the comic book stand did not have as many comic books as she did.

If she had seen such a unique author's name before, she would definitely not forget it. Since she has no impression of it, he must be a newcomer.

Will publishers break the rules for newcomers?

Zheng Yun thought not, so she continued reading.

After seeing the scenery outside and learning that Qingqing had lived here since childhood and had never been out, Li Maochang finally met the man of the family, Qingqing's father.

The other person's clothes were also very retro, a long shirt that was common before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The blue shirt, which was washed to a pale color, was covered with patches of various sizes, which showed that the family was not wealthy.

While Li Maochang was looking at each other, Qingqing's father was also looking at him.

After a long while, Qingqing's father asked, "Is there still a war going on outside?"

Li Maochang was stunned and asked, "Have you ever lived outside?"

Qingqing's father said of course, but that was many years ago when he was just a child and the family was overwhelmed by the heavy taxes.

He still remembered that when he moved to Taohua Village from outside, it was just after the autumn harvest. It was actually a good year. The rice ears in the paddy fields grew tall and strong, but they were weighed down by the full grains of millet and could not stand up straight.

Every night before going to bed, he could hear his parents discussing what to buy for the house after the rice was harvested and the rent was paid. The bowls in the kitchen were so broken that they could not be repaired, and the shoes on the eldest child's feet were so rotten that they could not be worn... Things that seemed sad when they talked about them in the past now filled their hearts with hope.

But the autumn harvest was not yet over, and the person under pressure had changed.

The previous military commander was driven away, and the new one was not a good person either. He talked about raising taxes before he even got his position firmly in place. Orders were passed down layer by layer, and taxes were increased layer by layer.

In the end, not only did they lose all their work this year, but they also had to pay for their land, and some people in the village were planning to sell their children.

At this point, Qingqing's father took a long puff of his cigarette. Li Maochang asked quickly, "Then what? Why did you all come here?"

Qingqing's father stopped moving, tilted his head and sighed, "Run? It's not that easy. Our roots are here."

Seeing this, Zheng Yun quickly turned the page, and then asked in disbelief: "No, no more? Then what?"

She flipped through the pages twice in despair before noticing the words "Next..." at the end. She had to face reality. If she wanted to know what happened next, she would have to wait half a month, or rather, seven days.

Okay.

Zheng Yun lay on the bed, thinking helplessly.

But after lying down for a while, she couldn't help but get up from the bed, went to the living room to find the calendar, and turned to the 16th. Seeing that it was Sunday, she jumped up excitedly, causing Zheng's mother who had just entered the room to say in disgust: "You are in your twenties, can't you be more stable? It's ridiculous to jump up and down every day."

Zheng Yun quickly apologized, backed into the room, and picked up the comic book on the bed.

She originally wanted to read the rest of the story, but her hands were not very obedient, and when she came to her senses, the page had returned to the first page.

How about... watching it again?

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Zheng Yun was immersed in the story again.

From June 9th to June 16th, in just seven days, Zheng Yun flipped through the "Comic Book" at least a hundred and eighty times to read "Leaving Taoyuan Village".

In fact, she had memorized the story by heart and had read the illustrations countless times. Speaking of the illustrations, she didn't think they were good at first glance. Although the pictures were clean and exquisite, the style was not special. Moreover, the pictures were black and white, so there was not much to see.

However, after looking at it more, Zheng Yun found that the author's painting skills are really good. Among the more than 30 pictures, there is not a single redundant line, which shows that the author is very comfortable with it.

Zheng Yun felt that this Durian must have studied painting and had some literary knowledge, but he probably had never drawn comics before, so his style was not distinctive enough.

But Zheng Yun felt that as long as he could keep painting durian, he would be able to form his own style sooner or later.

In retrospect, these days were really hard to endure. It was only seven days, but she felt like seven years had passed. So much so that on the 16th, she got up before dawn, firstly because she was excited, and secondly, she wanted to be the first to see the sequel to "Leaving Taohua Village".

On this day, Zheng Yun did see the subsequent content for the first time, but after reading it, she found out that "Leaving Taohua Village" actually has a sequel!

This also means that she has to wait another half a month!

No, July 1st was a Monday, and she worked the early morning shift that week, which meant she would have to wait more than twenty days to see the end.

Ahhhh!

She won't have to sleep for the next twenty days!

In cities with Xinhua Bookstores, there are many readers like Zheng Yun who are very excited about the book. Zhang Yaping, who lives in the capital, is one of them.

But unlike Zheng Yun, Zhang Yaping did not follow the policy to go to the countryside after graduating from junior high school, and the street did not arrange a job for him, so he is currently an unemployed vagrant.

Having no job means no income and no savings, so even though he likes to read comic books, he can't spend as much as Zheng Yun to buy comic books for collection.

Fortunately, his home was not far from Xinhua Bookstore. He could walk to Sangongli and spend a whole morning or afternoon reading comic books in the Xinhua Bookstore.

Therefore, he was the first to see the ending of "Leaving Taohua Village".

After learning from Qingqing's father why they fled to Taohua Village with their family, Li Maochang also began to talk about the outside world.

He said that the Japanese had been driven away long ago, the warlords had been eliminated, the New China was founded in 1949, and the country had been at peace for more than 20 years.

He said that now there were no more exorbitant taxes and the amount of public rations to be paid was fixed. The weather was good here and as long as one worked hard, the remaining food after paying the public rations would be enough for the whole family to eat and a lot of savings.

He also said that human trafficking is now a crime, and if anyone dares to break into their homes and kidnap people, they can just call the police and the state will definitely take care of them.

Qingqing's father was filled with longing when he heard this, but he was also skeptical.

So Li Maochang settled down in Taohua Village and began to tell them about the outside world in bits and pieces.

During meals, he told them what they usually ate outside, what grain coupons and oil coupons were, and when he saw their old clothes full of patches, he told them what cloth coupons were...

But what ultimately moved the villagers was what Li Maochang said when he saw the children playing.

He said that children their age should be sent to school.

Although Qingqing's father had not read much, he believed in the saying "Everything is inferior, only reading is superior", and immediately asked in detail.

But when he learned that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country had vigorously carried out anti-illness work, adults attended anti-illness classes, and children were sent to school, he was moved.

After many discussions and arguments, Qingqing's father finally decided to go out and take a look himself.

So ten days later, Li Maochang took Qingqing and her daughter away from Taohua Village.

After they got outside, he first took them to find the nearest commune chief, explained their situation to him, and said that they wanted to learn about life outside.

The president attached great importance to this matter and specially arranged a clerk to take them to the commune and surrounding brigades to understand the situation.

After leaving the Revolutionary Committee, Qingqing's father followed the commune officials for a walk on the main street, and then they went to the surrounding brigades.

The houses in the brigade were not as grand as those in the commune, but they were well-arranged. At lunch time, smoke rose from every household, and from time to time one could hear mothers calling their children.

On the way, we met a group of women sitting outside chatting. When they saw what he was wearing, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

In the afternoon, they went to the fields to see the brigade members working hard. They also went to the educated youth site, where they saw a group of half-grown children who spoke politely and courteously.

Finally, they went to the school and stood outside the classroom. Through the window, they saw the students sitting inside with focused expressions. They listened to the sound of reading coming from some unknown classroom. The old man who had lived in seclusion for decades burst into tears.

At the end of the story, the villagers of Taohua Village moved collectively again.

At this time, Li Maochang had already returned to the city where he worked. After hearing the news, he was very happy to share it with his colleagues. One of his colleagues laughed and said, "Shouldn't this play be called Taohua Village?"

Li Maochang laughed after hearing this and said, "You think they left Taohua Village, but how do you know they didn't enter Taohuayuan?"

The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everywhere is a paradise.

Seeing this, Zhang Yaping burst into tears.

Born in the 1950s, he had never experienced war or separation of life and death. Except for the three difficult years, he had never suffered from hunger.

Going to the countryside to work can be said to be the biggest challenge he encountered in his short 17 years of life.

This year is already 1974, and batches of educated youths are going to the countryside, but few of them have come back. He has heard too much news about children from relatives and neighbors who have gone to the countryside, and he is full of fear about going to the countryside.

He didn't understand either. Did they study for more than ten years just to let them go to the countryside to farm?

After reading the previous episode, he asked his parents whether life was really that difficult for farmers before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Their answer was: Yes, life was indeed that difficult back then, and they can live a happy life now because of the leadership of the Party and great people.

After talking with his parents, Zhang Yaping began to think about the future.

Does he really want to stay at home like this? No matter how hard it is to go to the countryside, can it be harder than the people before the founding of the People's Republic of China? No matter how difficult it is to go to the countryside, can it be as hard as his parents' when they were young?

When the pioneers saw the desolate country, they never thought of retreating, and ultimately they succeeded in making the people living in this country live a prosperous and peaceful life.

Why did he decide that he would do nothing but farm after going to the countryside? He was only seventeen years old. Was he going to lose his ambition and live his life in a daze?

Zhang Yaping closed the magazine, and when he looked up again, his face was full of determination.

He has made up his mind. He wants to go to the countryside and go to the frontier.

But before going to the frontier, he had to write a letter first.

Zhang Yaping was not the only one who wrote to the publishing house after reading "Leaving Taohua Village". In just half a month, the publishing house received two snakeskin bags of letters from readers.

After receiving the letters, the publishing house arranged for someone to reorganize the letters, and then arranged for someone to send these letters, together with the publishing contract for the full manuscript of "Out of Taohua Village" to Rong City.

One day in late July, Su Ting was suddenly stopped when she passed by a guard post.

Three minutes later, she picked up her delivery notice from among the many letters at the guard post.

Looking at the sender on the notice, Su Ting had three question marks in her mind. What did the publisher send her? They even specifically noted that she should remember to ride... a tricycle when picking up the package? ! !
