He Xiaoyou dodged and gasped, but he still held his head high and retorted, "Mom, where I'm going is by the sea, there are no mountains."
"Chunsheng, try harder. I'm getting mad at him for not repenting."
Wang Taozhi stood in front of him. "You're still a student. Didn't your teacher teach you to be flexible? Why do you have to ask me to explain it to you? Okay, go to the beach less often. Don't go to dangerous places. If a wave comes and sweeps you away, you won't have enough lives to survive."
"I can swim."
"Those who drowned were all good swimmers. You don't believe that? I heard from your second aunt that there are people on their island who have been fishing for decades, and they still can't come back even if they encounter storms at sea. What's wrong? Do you think you are better than them?"
He Xiaoyou stopped talking and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
In fact, he also understood his parents' painstaking efforts, but he had reached his rebellious period and would not feel comfortable unless he argued with them.
It's winter and people wear thick clothes. He Xiaoyou wore three layers of clothes on his legs: woolen pants over autumn trousers, and then a layer of cotton pants.
I didn't feel anything when the branches hit me, and it really didn't hurt much.
He Chunsheng's hands were sore from beating him, but when he found that he didn't feel any pain, he got angry and started hitting him directly, slapping him hard several times, causing He Xiaoyou to cry out in pain, which only helped him to calm down a little.
Since the notice from the Youth League Office has been conveyed, it means that the matter has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed in any way.
After He Chunsheng and his wife beat their child, their anger gradually subsided and they started to prepare the necessary things.
There are subsidies for educated youth, but they must be paid after they arrive at their destination.
Wang Taozhi gave out 100 yuan, He Qiu Sheng gave out 50 yuan, and He Xiaotuan and He Xiaojie, brother and sister, each gave their younger brother 50 yuan.
Even He Xiasheng sent back a hundred yuan and a lot of national coupons after hearing about it. He Ruixue didn't give any money, but she did give a lot of things.
A radio, an all-steel watch, a thermos, pots and pans, two large quilts, and two sets of brand new sheets and pillowcases.
A few towels and various toiletries, a pound of milk candy and two pounds of loose sugar, a few packets of peach cakes... all of them were taken out of the big gift bag. They were all rare items in the village and were just right for him to take.
He Xiaoyou was reluctant to accept it because there were two large items inside.
He Ruixue didn't care much, "Don't refuse, just think of it as a gift from your aunt for you to get married in advance. You brothers and sisters all have it. In the countryside, you can't show off too much wealth to attract attention, nor can you appear weak and look down on others.
If someone asks about your family situation, just tell them the truth. They're worried about your parents and won't bully you too much."
She did not forget to buy He Xiaotuan a bicycle and a watch. She should have given them when he got married, and it was not too late now.
The original owner used to live with her eldest brother and often forced her nephews and nieces to do some work. Not only did they not express dissatisfaction (mainly because they didn't dare), they also always gave in to her.
When she moved out, they often came to help. The vegetables in the front yard, the chickens in the back yard, and the lush flowers, trees and fruit trees by the courtyard wall were all thanks to the children's dedication.
Before she married Jiang Yanxu, they helped take care of almost all her household affairs.
Seeing that they are about to start their own families, she, as their aunt, naturally wants to show her gratitude to her elder brother and sister-in-law for their care over the years.
He Xiaoyou is a boy, so it's okay for him to show some confidence. The admiration he attracts is greater than the threat he poses.
If it were a beautiful girl who went to the countryside alone, she would really have to hide well, otherwise people would have a thousand ways to scheme against her and would not let her get away with it.
It’s helpless, but this is the way the world is.
Wang Taozhi nodded repeatedly, "Your aunt is right. If the young man from the Bai family explains the family situation when he goes to the countryside, they won't dare to attack him even if they have the courage. They might even expose him to corruption. Remember to mention your second uncle more often. Soldiers are respected everywhere."
"I know, Mom."
He Xiaoyou is a young man who always has a tendency to show off. His family conditions are above average and will not attract much covetousness.
Besides, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with the village chief so that he could be assigned easier work in the future.
"I will definitely stay in the house every day and not show up."
"Mom doesn't care how you get along with others, but one thing is for sure: you're not allowed to date casually. Even if you meet a girl you like, you have to let Mom see her first.
You should also stay out of the educated youth's business. Whether someone falls into the river or sprains their ankle in the field, it has nothing to do with you. The farther away from them, the better."
He Ruixue looked at her sister-in-law in surprise. Wow, she read several articles about educated youth going to the countryside and could anticipate any emergencies in advance.
Realizing her gaze, Wang Taozhi proudly puffed out his chest and gave her an ignorant look.
"Even if I haven't seen these things, I've heard a lot about them. Those who go to the countryside are all very cunning. Both men and women want to live a good life. There are only a few tricks they can use, but if both parties don't have the intention, nothing can really be accomplished."
She turned around to touch the quilt that He Ruixue had taken out, and said with a smile, "This cotton is so elastic, soft and thick. Although the quilt is heavy, it doesn't feel heavy when covering my arms.
You lied to me earlier, saying you didn't have much cotton at home. I was thinking about borrowing some from someone, but I didn't expect you to have it ready-made."
"I plan to use these two quilts later. Xiaoyou will use them first because he is going to the countryside."
Wang Taozhi glared at her angrily, "You just made two new quilts when you got married, and then you added three more, and you haven't even had time to sleep on one yet, and now you want to buy a new one again? What's wrong? Do you have thorns on your body? You can tear the quilt after using it a few times, right?"
"The old quilt isn't warm enough."
"Then dig it out and try to re-boil it. If everyone else is like you, there won't be enough cotton in the whole country."
