Si Yang knew that Zhang Xiao'e's family was of average condition and she had no special background, so it would not be easy to transfer his daughter back.
But Zhang Xiao'e, who was obsessed with love, did not understand her parents' painstaking efforts.
Seeing that they could not persuade Zhang Xiaoe, the couple had no choice but to find Feng Junhui again and try to get him to give up their daughter voluntarily.
But Feng Junhui believed that love was free in the new society, and he vowed to be good to Zhang Xiao'e, and even knelt down to beg the couple to agree.
In the end, the lonely and dejected Mother Zhang finally found Si Yang.
"Si Yang, can you do Auntie a favor? When they get married, go see them on our behalf and give them this envelope..."
Three months later, New Year’s Eve of 1969 finally arrived.
This year, there are fewer educated youth in the Corps who applied to go home than last year. Si Yang has no home in this world, so naturally he has to stay here.
As usual, Xiangcao took her home to celebrate the New Year. After having a reunion dinner with them, she played with the orange lanterns she made in the snow with several children from herdsmen's families for a while before returning to the dormitory.
This year, the astragalus and gastrodia in her space were sold for a total of 6,860 yuan because of their high quality.
The cotton yield per mu reached 650 kilograms. She harvested nearly 20,000 kilograms of cotton and sold it at 1.2 yuan per kilogram, earning a total of 23,400 yuan.
In addition, soybeans, rice, wheat, etc. were sold for 3,676 yuan, and the total income of Space Farm this year reached 33,936 yuan.
Including her previous savings, she now had more than 40,000 yuan in cash.
Sure enough, her choice to grow cotton and medicinal herbs was right. This year's income has increased several times compared to last year. Thinking back to the pitiful 900 yuan last year, it is really hard to describe.
Fortunately, her small goal of becoming a 10,000 yuan household was exceeded this year, so her New Year's goal for 1970 was to increase her savings to 100,000 yuan.
"Come on, little rich girl, please give me some advice on 1970..."
After secretly setting a new financial goal, Si Yang opened Pei Tingyu's letter.
In the letter, he said that there was no snow and no her in the winter in South City, so this year was particularly lonely. He had never hoped so much that time could go faster, so fast that it could stop at the moment when he returned to her.
He told her not to just sleep in on New Year's Day, but to eat dumplings.
She couldn't send him the snow from the north, but he brought her the flowers from the south...
Si Yang pinched the seal of the envelope and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw several almost dried flowers inside.
She took it out and smelled it with great interest. It was fragrant with lavender, elegant with bright red, and fresh with white.
It is really enviable that you can still enjoy clusters of flowers in the south in winter.
After the Spring Festival, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Si Yang and two other female educated youth in the company got certificates from the new company commander and were going to Dr. Feng's house.
This was what Zhang Xiao'e had agreed with them before. She invited them in every possible way to attend their wedding banquet as the "brother's family members".
Si Yang originally planned to give a five-dollar contribution so that she wouldn't have to go in person, but Zhang Xiao'e begged her tearfully.
She said she had already lost her parents' blessings and could not lose the blessings of her good friends.
Si Yang thought of Zhang's mother's instructions and decided to go and see what the situation was at Dr. Feng's house.
The three girls took a four-hour bus ride and met the ox cart arranged by Dr. Feng in the small town. After being jolted on the ox cart for more than an hour, it finally stopped beside a low yellow mud courtyard wall.
The three girls were all stunned when they looked at the three low mud and thatched houses and the sloping courtyard wall.
That's not right! Why did Si Yang remember Zhang Xiao'e saying that Dr. Feng's family lived in a small town?
How come everyone went to the countryside? This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
