After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
The stone egg was bouncing on his shoulder.
…
The mother, daughter and two children walked back talking and laughing.
"Oh, isn't this Su Qing? It's good to be here with your parents. The children can go to school and you don't have to go to work. You can just stay at home and take care of the children."
"That's right, those days were really cool."
"If it's a girl, she can go to school for a year or two and sell for a good price in the future. If it's a boy, do you think her family will still raise him?"
“That’s not the case…”
Su Qing at the back was too lazy to listen. Instead of wasting time chatting with these people here, he might as well spend more time in the space town.
It is now 1965. From 1968 to 1971 was the three-year Great Famine.
There was a long drought for three years, and the land was barren for thousands of miles. There was rarely any smoke from cooking fires, and people were crying out in hunger everywhere.

Shitou dejectedly carried Shidan on his back and walked towards the school.
San Ya held Su Qing's hand tightly.
Suddenly, he said, "Mom, you must live well and never let me have a stepmother."
After listening to San Ya's explanation, Su Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that Shitou's mother had passed away, and the woman now was his father's new wife, named Xia Juhua.
Xia Juhua later gave birth to another son, Shidan.
Since he had his own son, he naturally couldn't stand his stepson Shi Tou.
If Shitou's grandmother had not strongly urged Shitou's father to send him to school, Shitou would probably have been like most children in the village, earning work points, taking care of children, and living a hopeless life.
