Chapter 116 Mao Dong

The weather is getting cold.

Wen Xin hasn't gone out for several days.

I stay in the house all the time, reading and studying or eating and cooking.

There are very few people hanging out and chatting outside, everyone is staying at home.

Some are simply afraid of the cold, and some are because there are not enough cotton-padded clothes at home, so family members have to take turns wearing them.

It's winter, and most people will eat two meals a day at home in order to save some food.

Wen Xin is not short of food and can still maintain three meals a day.

The remaining time will be completely implemented according to your own study schedule.

Sometimes when I get tired of reading, I will knit a scarf or gloves, drink some tea and eat some snacks.

Now in Wen Xin's room, there are Zhao Wanqing, Zhang Yingying, Wang Yumei and Li Qian.

The reason was that one time Zhao Wanqing came to chat with Wen Xin and found that she was reading and studying. After learning about her plan, she also joined.

Later it was Zhang Yingying, then Wang Yumei, and finally Li Qian.

Everyone brought their own small tables and placed them next to the Kang.

I don’t know how to communicate at any time.

Among the five of them, Wen Xin made the fastest progress, and Wang Yumei was the slowest.

Everyone has been studying very seriously and hard these days.

I looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wen Xin stood up, rubbed her eyes, and stretched.

I went to make a pot of tea and grabbed a handful of chestnuts, melon seeds, and hazelnuts.

Everyone else also got up and moved around a bit, and it was time to rest.

Others consciously packed up their books and put them aside.

Zhang Yingying said, "I'm so tired. When I read the book like this, I feel that the day has been a lot longer."

Li Qian also smiled and said, "Yes. You won't know it until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it. I have almost forgotten all my high school knowledge. Fortunately, I have started to study again, otherwise I will be blinded later."

Zhao Wanqing rubbed her temples and said, "Do you think the high school in town will recruit people?"

Wang Yumei shook her head and said, "It's difficult. Even if we recruit people, I guess it will be difficult for us to know the news."

Wen Xin encouraged, "This is not necessarily true. We study hard by ourselves, and maybe the village school will continue to recruit teachers in the future."

Wang Yumei nodded seriously, "Yes. This is my goal."

Zhang Yingying also nodded, "If there is still a chance, I will definitely seize it."

Wen Xin ate the fried chestnuts and hazelnuts they made and praised, "What we made ourselves is really good. Sister Qian's craftsmanship is really good."

Li Qian said modestly, "I also heard what others said."

Zhang Yingying also said while eating, "Sister Qian's cooking is really good. If I weren't afraid that I would eat too much and not be able to eat, I would have finished it long ago."

Wang Yumei teased her from the side, "We welcome the cute ones to eat, and sometimes two more come after the meal."

Li Qian sheepishly changed the subject, "Do you know that many people in the village are pregnant recently?"

Zhao Wanqing said, "Huh?"

Li Qian continued, "I also heard what others said. I heard that the aunt at the west end of the village is pregnant again."

Wen Xin asked doubtfully, "Again? How many children did she have before?"

Li Qian replied, "Four."

Wen Xin was shocked, "You're still alive after four?"

Li Qian curled her lips and said, "The first four are all girls. They want a boy. I heard that her mother-in-law always scolds her and gives her all the work because she thinks she can't give birth to a boy."

The other four people all had shocked faces.

Zhang Yingying felt particularly deeply, "Oh my god, this is too much. What's wrong with the girl? Isn't she also her child?"

Li Qian sighed and said, "There is no way. In the countryside, boys are regarded as labor force and can support the family in the future, but the same cannot be said for girls. In the future, they can find a family and get them in exchange for a betrothal gift."

Wang Yumei said angrily, "That's outrageous. It's not like girls don't work. I think girls in the village also work on a regular basis. Do they still have to do housework when they get home?"

Zhao Wanqing also said, "That's right. And the issue of having a boy or a girl is decided by the man, so it has nothing to do with the woman."

Li Qian asked curiously, "Really?"

Zhao Wanqing said seriously, "Of course it's true. I studied a little bit of medicine before, and that's what my master said."

Wen Xin thought about the scumbag father before, who just wanted a son.

Thinking of him, Wen Xin suddenly remembered something important.

The scumbag father is in jail and won’t be able to get out for a few decades. The woman is also in jail and it will take decades for her to get out. That man’s son went to the northwest and is probably not living a good life. He’s not good enough. For fear.

But decades later, she might be doing just fine herself.

In order to prevent them from coming to find me, should I file a report and sever ties with them?

Moreover, if the college entrance examination is resumed, will there be a political review?

Thinking of this, Wen Xin became a little anxious. She was so anxious to report and go to the countryside that she forgot about this matter.

It should be okay now. She has to go to town tomorrow and put it in the newspaper to break off the relationship.

Wen Xin was lost in thought when Zhao Wanqing shook her, "Xin Xin, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Xin came back to her senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just in a daze."

When girls chat, the topics are always very different.

Now it’s all about the object of conversation.

Li Qian said, "I don't want to find a partner to get married here. I also want to go back to the city."

Wen Xin gave a thumbs up, "Sister Qian, you are ambitious."

Zhang Yingying said, "Before I went to the countryside, my parents told me not to look for a partner here. I am the only child in the family, and I will definitely have to go home in the future."

Wang Yumei smiled and said, "I'm not looking for it either. I always feel that some people in the village take us educated youth as the main culprits."

Wen Xin said, "Yes, they think we won't go back, and there is no family support here, so they think we are easy to control."

Zhao Wanqing coughed lightly and said, "I already have a partner."

It was like a thunderclap.

Everyone was stunned and confused.

"Ah?" This is Li Qian.

"Ah?" This is Zhang Yingying.

"Ah? It can't be Lin Dongze, right?" This is Wang Yumei.

Should I say it or not, Wang Yumei still has a good eye, it's all obvious.

Wen Xin gave her a thumbs up.

Li Qian was even more confused now, "Huh? Why didn't I see it?"

Wen Xin burst out laughing, "Sister Qian, you haven't paid attention to me usually, so you definitely can't tell."

Zhang Yingying asked worriedly, "Wanqing, you have to be careful."

Wang Yumei said, "Actually, it's not bad. Lin Dongze is the youngest son of the brigade captain's family. The relationship at home is not complicated and they get along well. The brigade captain and his wife are also reasonable people. Mainly because of himself, he is now a school teacher, and he was a soldier before. Goods should be guaranteed, and so should life.”

Li Qian reacted and nodded, "Yes, indeed. This person seems to have a pretty good personality."

Zhao Wanqing smiled as she watched everyone talk, feeling full of happiness in her heart. I feel very lucky. Although I have had setbacks and hardships before, I always have good people around me.
