On the hillside, beside the fireless grave, a woman was kneeling with tears streaming down her face.
Behind the woman stood a young girl in her prime.
The woman called out to her mother in a heart-wrenching voice towards the grave. She also wanted to hide in her mother's arms. She wished she could follow her mother and die like this.
The little girl murmured behind the woman, "Mom, don't cry."
She kept sobbing quietly in the back, tugging at the woman's heart, as if reminding her all the time that she was still there and that life had to go on for her sake.
This can be considered a meeting of three generations of women.
The old lady of the Bi family used all her life's wisdom to carefully select a son-in-law for her daughter.
Her life experience only taught her:
It is better to find a poor boy with poor conditions, make him grateful for his whole life, and let him remember that his daughter married down from his parents' family, rather than to find someone of higher status for the sake of comfort and enjoyment, who may look like a young lady but actually doesn't take anyone seriously.
Especially if the daughter is concerned about the character of her parents' family, she cannot marry into a wealthy family.
It would be fine if she married him and enjoyed herself, but she would be greedy and think about supporting her family, which would make people look down on her.
The old lady believes: You are destined to be rich, so don’t try to force yourself to be rich, or you will live a tiring life from the beginning.
But what the old lady of the Bi family didn’t know was that times are changing. When she was alive, having enough to eat was a luxury.
When it comes to Bi Jinzhi, her little wisdom is not comprehensive enough and is not enough.
Bi Jinzhi's sorrowful voice told Fu Guo about the best years of a woman's life.
Since we met and stayed together, we have gone through so many difficult days.
Now that my family is rich, I no longer have to worry about food and I have more free time.
When she reached middle age, she was old, and she was no longer young. She encountered a man who became bad when he became rich, and she witnessed a scene that broke her heart.
It seems that today's crying is a lesson learned through words and deeds.
She seemed to be telling Fu Juan that the world is unpredictable.
The husband whom she had dared to promise and trust now surprised and shocked her. She had been deceived for all her half-life efforts.
She doesn't have wisdom, so she can't see clearly what human beings are like.
Apart from using my youth and blood-stained experience to teach my daughter, I don't know anything else.
…
The entrance of Zhaojiatun village.
Secretary Zhao Shugen had a smile on his face as he was talking and shaking hands with the person next to him. The two hands were shaking hands tightly, and there was a jeep parked nearby.
"I really never expected this. We really are destined to be together, so destined!
Come into the village, you have to listen to me. I don’t care if you are the county magistrate or not, you must come to my house for a drink, and I have to treat you to a meal!
Then go into the village and let everyone see you.
Before the Chinese New Year, everyone was talking about you at the dinner table. They said you were different from those sent down to the countryside back then, that you were excellent at both study and work, and never cheated or played dirty.
Back then... Alas, I'm sorry, brother. I had no choice back then."
Zhao Shugen's words were indeed quite honest. He didn't hide anything. When they met, he directly talked about the conflict in the past.
He was not afraid that the man in front of him would take revenge on him if he became the county magistrate.
On the one hand, he is old and has no desires or demands. Even if he is asked to remove his position as a village official now, he will not say a word.
The second reason is that he trusts the person in front of him.
Even though he had his position replaced, this guy kicked down the iron gate of his house.
But he believed that since ****** had reached the position of county magistrate, he must be a smart person and would understand the twists and turns involved.
With one level supporting another, he was able to take care of those educated youth back then.
Besides, look at the man in front of you, his demeanor, his gentle and refined appearance. Zhao Shugen felt that a person's life is really endless. It is right to accumulate good relationships and do more good deeds!
****** smiled, revealing his perfect eight teeth, without any pretense, and even treating it as a past experience. When he talked about the past, he felt only warmth and became more humble. He shook Zhao Shugen'er's hand tightly and said:
"Brother Zhao, it's really a coincidence today. I'm really happy to see you.
But I still have to refuse my older brother. Reminiscing about the past would be pointless if we didn't talk about it thoroughly.
Because I just came here to work as an intern, the procedures have just been completed, and the work in the county is in the process of being handed over.
Some other day, when I have finished my work and it is not related to work, I will come to our village again in my personal capacity.
Brother Zhao, please help me arrange it when the time comes. Even if you don’t treat me to a drink, I will still treat all the young and old men in the village to a meal!
You responded to the call to accept re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants and have taken root here for so many years. You are all my fellow countrymen!
I have wanted to come back and visit for a long time. Coming here to train is really a blessing for me. This is my root, and we have a friendship forged through labor..."
Before he could finish his sigh, ******'s handshake suddenly stopped, and he also stopped talking.
He rarely loses his composure like this now, but when he saw the back figure fifty meters away, he stopped instantly.
The expression on his face at this moment was very similar to the expression he had when he first walked into Zhaojiatun and saw Bi Jinzhi.
An educated youth who went to the countryside asked a girl with two long braids:
"Teeth, toothpaste, where can I get them?"
Zhao Shugen looked in the direction ****** was looking and was also stunned.
Seeing Fu Juan riding her bicycle with Bi Jinzhi on her back and about to ride further away, Zhao Shugen shouted:
"Jinzhi? Jinzhi! Come down quickly! Why are you back at this hour?"
Bi Jinzhi had to get off the car and could no longer pretend not to hear.
Zhao Shugen's face was full of wrinkles and a smile. Before Bi Jinzhi came close, he pointed at the people around him and shouted in a circle:
