The matter of going to the county has to find another opportunity. The crops are mature, and the whole village begins to harvest in full swing. Xu Zifan and Yang Wanyun also went to the field, and when they went, they inevitably ran into Su Qing.
Originally, the areas they were in charge of were not close, so they should live in peace with each other. Who would have thought that every time Su Qing saw them, her eyes would be sullen and pitiful, which was annoying.
Yang Wanyun touched Xu Zifan with her arm, and said in a low voice, "Looking at what you have caused, why is she staring at us? Isn't it bad to hold back?"
Xu Zifan also whispered back to her, "Don't worry about her, the soldiers will block the water and cover with the soil, but I'm not afraid of her."
"Yo, let it go."
"It's nothing to do at first, but now I have a daughter-in-law." Xu Zifan looked down at her and smiled at her.
Yang Wanyun immediately bent down to work, became quiet, and despised herself in her heart. Doesn't it just look better? Why are you so unsatisfactory, you don't dare to look at him when you see him smiling? She suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes and looked around. Sure enough, there were quite a few big girls and little daughters-in-law looking at Xu Zifan.
It doesn't matter if he has such a handsome face, he is not the same as before, he is more and more attractive, really... What does a big man look so good-looking. She didn't know what the Xu family was thinking, so she sent him to the village. If she had such a son, she would not be willing to send him to suffer in the village.
Yang Wanyun thought that Xu Zifan never mentioned family affairs, only said that there were parents, a sister and a brother at home, and suddenly became a little curious. He turned his head and asked Xu Zifan, "Did you tell your family about our marriage?"
Xu Zifan recalled, nodded and said, "I sent a letter, and if they reply to me, it will be almost there. But I guess only my eldest sister will write to me, and others don't want to waste stamp money. Don't worry about them, I Just have a better relationship with my eldest sister. My father is a macho and doesn't care about his children, and my mother only sees my younger brother."
Yang Wanyun can't figure it out a bit. She has been in contact with him a lot these days. She thinks that Xu Zifan has a good personality and a good brain. But this year, it seems that her parents love her so much. Everyone is busy and has no time to take care of the children. There are quite a few people who love the younger son. Fortunately, Xu Zifan has a sister who has a good relationship. She asked, "Is the eldest sister married?"
Xu Zifan shook his head and suddenly frowned, "When I was assigned to cut the queue, my eldest sister had already entered the factory as a worker, and she was 20 years old, so it was time to find someone. My mother said that she would be better to keep her. My son-in-law is married, but my mother only accepts money. She must be looking for a bride price, not my eldest sister's wishes. I will write a letter to my eldest sister when I go back later. She has good grades. I think she should take the college entrance examination. , don't miss this opportunity."
"Can the parents agree?"
"Definitely disagree, so I have to persuade her."
The Xu family was not mentioned much in the original development, so Xu Zifan never cared about the Xu family before. When he mentioned it now, he thought that Su Qing didn't get along well with her husband's family before her rebirth. One thing was that because her husband's family were all poor, it meant that his eldest sister did not marry well and work well. The relationship between the original owner and the eldest sister is still good. The eldest sister has always been taught to take care of the younger brothers, but the younger brother was brought by Xu's mother herself, and the eldest sister is the original owner of the care more often.
Their family looks good, the eldest sister Xu Xiaofen is a girl, and the advantage in appearance is more obvious. It was also because of this that Mother Xu kept Xu Xiaofen from marrying, just to pick a rich man based on her appearance and exchange for a large dowry. Xu Zifan doesn't know what will happen after that, but he feels that the best choice for Xu Xiaofen at the moment is to go to university. Being with the hot-blooded young people makes it easier to change your mind and rebel against Mother Xu.
After leaving work, Xu Zifan did not delay, and quickly wrote a letter to give Xu Xiaofen a good analysis of the future situation. Xu Xiaofen is a gentle and kind girl. She works well outside the home and has experience in taking care of children. She will definitely be a good wife and mother, and she cannot be harmed by Xu's mother.
Xu Zifan said in the letter that he did not study well and had no hope of returning to the city, so he would rely on the eldest sister in the future. Relying on others is unreliable, you must be able to rely on the eldest sister herself. There is no need to regret the work in the factory. If you go to college to learn more knowledge and become a talent, you will definitely have a better job in the future.
Xu Xiaofen is not stupid, but she is now a regular worker, and the treatment is much better than that of girls of the same age, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong. In the letter, Xu Zifan outlined a bright future for him, just like guiding a road to a better life. If you can walk, of course you have to work hard.
Xu Zifan asked someone who went to work in the county to send it out, and when that person came back, he brought back a letter and a package. It turned out that he happened to come across something that Xu Xiaofen sent to Xu Zifan at the post office, and brought it back by the way.
In the letter, Xu Xiaofen said congratulations to him on his marriage, and asked a lot of questions about the woman and her family, and asked him whether he had a hard time in the village, and whether he had encountered any difficulties. What was sent in the package was a set of study materials for the college entrance examination, which Xu Xiaofen finally obtained without telling his mother Xu, so that he could seize the opportunity to return to the city.
There was also a set of navy blue padded jackets and trousers for him, two scarves, one for him, one for Yang Wanyun, and some pen and paper. His side is in the north, and it is very cold in winter. Xu Xiaofen specially made it for him because he was afraid that he would be freezing. All the tickets of the Xu family are in Xu's mother's hands, so it must be hard for Xu Xiaofen to get these for him.
When Yang Wanyun saw it, she really felt that the relationship between their siblings was getting better. She put on the red scarf and looked in the mirror, and said embarrassedly, "This scarf is so beautiful, should we send something to the eldest sister?"
Xu Zifan thought about the things at home, shook his head and said, "She definitely won't be able to eat the food sent, it has to go into my brother's belly. She can't explain the origin of other things, so I won't send it first, and then I'll talk about it later. The materials have to be sent back to her so that she can review them well."
Yang Wanyun touched the materials and said enviously, "These materials are difficult to obtain, you really don't take the test?"
Xu Zifan looked up at her, "Wan Yun, do you want to take the college entrance examination? I heard from your parents that you graduated from high school?"
Yang Wanyun hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't do it, I'm too serious about my subjects, only Chinese and history are good. I've studied mathematics very hard, but I don't understand it, so I can't take the test."
"Partial Chinese?" Xu Zifan thought for a while, "How about your writing?"
Yang Wanyun laughed, "I write very well in composition. Most of the composition is about progress, construction, etc. I don't like to write very much. I like to write stories that make up stories."
Xu Zifan smiled and said, "Then you can write a story when you're free. Let's submit it to a publishing house to try. Maybe it can be published? It's fine to publish it in a newspaper. In the future, you will become a literary youth."
Yang Wanyun was taken aback and couldn't believe it: "Write a story for publication? Where do you send it?"
"Let's go to the post office to check the address of the publishing house and send a few more. Before you write, look at what stories are printed in the most prominent place in the newspaper, and write according to that type. It is probably possible. Why don't you write it out to me first? Let's see, if it doesn't work, we won't vote."
Yang Wanyun took a deep breath, feeling that this was a fantasy, and she was just about to move. She has loved to listen to and tell stories since she was a child. Later, when the Four Olds were broken, everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of being caught by something wrong, she always felt very aggrieved. After learning to write essays in school, she learned to write stories, but she could only write about the topics required by the school, and she didn't dare to touch anything else.
Now Xu Zifan said that she could try to write a story and submit it to the publishing house, as if a new door was suddenly opened for her. It turned out that she could write a story and submit it, and she could have the opportunity to share it with others. If she can really succeed, she will definitely wake up from her dreams!
Yang Wanyun's eyes were bright. That night after work, she lay down on the desk to write. After writing a page, she wanted to continue writing, but Xu Zifan directly grabbed the pen.
"Don't write so late. If you hurt your eyes, you won't be able to see clearly. If you like, get up a little earlier every morning, or write at noon."
"I'll write for a while. There's a light, but it's not dark."
"No, the lights can hurt your eyes, so go to sleep." Xu Zifan pulled her by the wrist and pulled her onto the kang, and quickly turned off the light and lay down.
Yang Wanyun had no choice but to sleep obediently, and whispered, "Why are you so domineering, you have the final say in everything."
"Get used to it." Xu Zifan closed his eyes, heard her turn over, and said, "If you can't sleep, tell me a story, tell me the story you want to write, and just record it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then listen carefully." Yang Wanyun likes to tell stories the most. She lay down on her side and started speaking in a low voice.
On a quiet night, her beautiful voice was like a lullaby, and Xu Zifan fell asleep listening to it. Seeing this, Yang Wanyun pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at his face for a while through the moonlight, and silently closed her eyes to sleep. She felt that Xu Zifan was really different from others. When he said something, it became very simple. Even if he couldn't do it now, it was nothing. If you work hard, you will be able to do it one day.
After listening to Xu Zifan's encouragement, she felt a lot of energy. What's wrong with trying? Taking the first step is the beginning of success. Even if it doesn't work now, she will continue to work hard. One day, she will be able to share her story with many people.
Xu Xiaofen, who was far away in Beijing, was surprised when she received the letter from her brother. She did not expect that her brother would let her go to college. Not to mention that it was a pity that she lost her job, it would be impossible for her mother to agree to her taking the college entrance examination. But looking at the words analyzed in her brother's letter, she was shaken badly. She is a worker in a factory, but the college entrance examination has resumed. There will be more and more talents in the future. There are only so many places in the factory. Who will be squeezed out? They must be ordinary workers.
Only by being admitted to a university and making yourself a talent can you possibly not be eliminated in the future. And there is a subsidy for going to college. Although it doesn't make more money than a worker, it doesn't cost the family money. Going to university does not affect marriage. If she tries hard to tell her mother Xu, she should be able to agree, right? After all, according to Mother Xu's idea, if she was better, wouldn't she be able to marry a better person
Xu Xiaofen read the letter several times, and after thinking for a few days, finally made up her mind. She is going to take the college entrance examination. She wants to make herself a talent, so that she can live a better life, and she will also help her brother return to the city in the future. This is the best choice, she will regret it if she does not take the college entrance examination!
After receiving the review materials, Xu Xiaofen hid the materials in the room to review, and the showdown will be discussed later.
