Jiang Youtao and Fu Shaohua looked at each other, and neither of them went back. Instead, they leaned towards the wall. Fu Shaohua stood towards the wind outlet, blocking most of the wind for Jiang Youtao.
Without the wind, she felt a little warmer.
The quarrel in the house continued. From what they heard, the central themes revolved around two things. One was that Tang Dalin's wife, He Cuicao, had killed one of Tang Dalin's sons. Tang Dalin wanted to marry a son-in-law to his daughter Tang Wan, while He Cuicao wanted Tang Wan to marry Shen Tao, the nephew of Secretary Shen of the commune.
This Shen Tao is a second-rate guy. He gathers a bunch of idle young people together to walk around the streets and steal things all day long. Zhou Zhenfeng just follows him.
Tang Dalin disagreed with He Cuicao's approach, and the couple quarreled more and more fiercely, to the point where they exposed each other's shortcomings.
He Cuicao was no longer a virgin before she married Tang Dalin. Tang Wan's eldest brother, the son who was killed by He Cuicao, was not known to whom. He Cuicao must have been afraid that the child would not look like his husband when he grew up, so she killed him cruelly.
He Cuicao said that Tang Dalin was talking nonsense and he was slandering her. It was obvious that she was not able to go to Lao Da because of Tang Dalin, but now he put all the faults on her. He said all this just to find reasons and excuses for his own affair outside.
The two quarreled and finally fought each other, and from the sound of the fight, it seemed that neither of them gained the upper hand.
Somehow, Jiang Youtao thought of Zhang Shuixiu, who did not resist domestic violence and even helped the abuser, and felt that He Cuicao also had some good points.
Only after the excitement in the room had died down did Fu Shaohua send Jiang Youtao back.
Jiang Youtao told Gu Nianwei about the apology that Fu Shaohua asked her to make, but Gu Nianwei didn't care about it. If she hadn't met Shao Hongnian by such a coincidence this time, she would have forgotten about him long ago.
She thought for a moment and asked Jiang Youtao: "Fu Shaohua's family looks good, you..."
The implication was whether Jiang Youtao and him could last long. Jiang Youtao knew what she meant and waved her hand casually: "It's too early, why say so much."
To put it bluntly, Jiang Youtao was attracted by Fu Shaohua's face, and thought that he had a good personality and was a sincere person.
She want to take it a step further, but she's still far from getting married.
Jiang Youtao always felt that she was about a galaxy away from the Queen of Marriage. Even if she and Fu Shaohua could finally have a happy ending, it would probably take many years, so it was too early to say anything now.
Seeing that Jiang Youtao was sensible, Gu Nianwei didn't say much.
When Fu Shaohua returned, his childhood friends Guo Kaian and Shao Hongnian were still awake.
Shao Hongnian still had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him tens of millions. Fu Shaohua didn't tolerate him and talked to Guo Kaian on his own, treating him as air.
Shao Hongnian's face became even colder.
When Jiang Youtao returned home, Xu Manqiu had already fallen asleep. She opened the bookshelf and saw the cover of the seventh book was a girl holding a round fan. The entire book was orange-red. She clicked on it to read the contents.
Tang Wan was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, but her mother died early and her father remarried. She had a hard time surviving under the rule of her stepmother. During a flower-viewing banquet, she was pushed into the water. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Tang Wan in the 1970s.
A girl with the same name and surname who was forced by her mother to marry a well-known playboy in the commune.
After marriage, her husband was not doing his job properly, so Tang Wan took on the responsibility of supporting the family. With her superb embroidery skills, she became more and more successful. By the time she was 25 years old, she had become the leading embroidery master in the country. Her embroidery works were very popular as soon as they were released.
She has accumulated a lot of wealth with this skill. Although her husband Shen Tao doesn't make money, his life is getting better little by little.
Tang Wan felt that compared to her father who always carried people into the house, Shen Tao had his good points, so their married life could be considered harmonious.
But the two of them really had no way of restraint, and children were born one after another. By the time Tang Wan was 32 years old, she had already given birth to seven children and was pregnant with another.
The ending of the book is a happy reunion of Tang Wan and her ten children.
Since the country started family planning, Jiang Youtao had never seen a family with so many children. Eight children at the age of 32. According to Tang Wan's age when she got married, she got married at the age of 18, and she is exactly 18 years old this year.
That is to say, in the next fourteen years, she will have to give birth to a child every two years on average!
While giving birth to this child, she also had to embroider to earn money to support the family. As for Shen Tao, he was not doing his job properly in the early stage, but he was better in the middle and late stages, but only a little.
After reading the whole book, Jiang Youtao still couldn't remember what Shen Tao did for a living.
She only remembered that Tang Wan gave birth to children one after another. The older ones were not grown up yet, and the younger ones were born. At the same time, she had to bear the burden of raising the children and earning money to support the family.
Jiang Youtao put herself in the situation and found that she had difficulty breathing and her vision went dark.
Any normal woman would have the same feeling as Jiang Youtao when she reads this kind of article. Compared to this kind of article about giving birth, she would rather read articles about older girls being stepmothers. Although she would feel uncomfortable with it, it is still a million times better than this, isn't it?
[ Is this the unbridgeable gap between ancient times and modern times? ] Jiang Youtao's voice was weak when she said this.
She has a friend who grew up with her and got married very early. She had two children in three years. After giving birth to the two children, she gained weight from 90 catties to 140 catties. The two children were neither big nor small. Her husband worked outside to earn money to support the family, and her mother-in-law did not take care of the family much. She raised the two children alone.
She is only in her twenties, but she looks as old as forty.
Not only her, but her other friends also experienced changes to varying degrees after giving birth, and most of them were for the worse.
Jiang Youtao couldn't imagine what Tang Wan, who gave birth to 10 children, would be like in the end.
Her scalp tingled just thinking about those ten children.
She didn't say anything nonsense and directly read the small world collapse report.
Jiang Youtao collapsed after reading the crash report.
The breakdown report was still about Tang Wan giving birth. She was already 48 years old, and one day, she went for a checkup and found out that she was pregnant again, this time with twins. At this time, their eldest son was already 19 years old and was about to enter college .
The youngest son is already in primary school.
When Shen Tao knew that she was pregnant again, he was so happy that he held her and spun around. Tang Wan had given birth to so many children, and this was her first time to have twins, so she was also very happy. The couple happily prepared to welcome the arrival of two little lives.
Eight months later, Tang Wan was about to give birth, but because it was twins and the babies were big, the doctor recommended a caesarean section. Shen Tao refused to agree, thinking that Tang Wan had already given birth to ten children, and she would definitely be able to give birth to these two children safely.
Tang Wan was also unwilling to have a caesarean section and insisted on giving birth herself, but ended up dying.
She was dead, but her soul still existed. She watched Shen Tao inherit her property openly after her death, and then in less than a month, he married someone openly under the pretext of taking care of the child.
Tang Wan was also very familiar with this newcomer, who was the assistant who had always taken care of various matters for her.
It was at this time that she realized that her death was planned by these two people, and the two children she ended up pregnant with were not hers and Shen Tao's, but Shen Tao and his little assistant's.
Because she had so many children, her body always had various problems, and she had to get injections and take medicine every month.
Shen Tao and his assistant, the two people she trusted the most, had been in cahoots with each other for a long time. They secretly swapped her medicine, and then transplanted their child into her belly through test tubes.
She became a surrogate mother without knowing it.
Tang Wan, who knew the truth, was full of resentment and hatred. Her resentment was so great that the small world she had just built collapsed.
Jiang Youtao felt that all her three views had been baptized.
She really couldn't feel any sympathy for Tang Wan.
She clearly know that her health has deteriorated after giving birth, so why is she still happy to give birth again when she get pregnant?
Moreover, as the daughter of a wealthy family, she grew up in domestic strife. How could she be so gullible?
Is it the consciousness of the small world that is causing trouble again?
The melon-eating system came out to clarify in time: [ No, host, I have checked in advance, and the consciousness of the No. 7 small world has never interfered with Tang Wan's behavior from beginning to end. Everything she did was voluntary. ]
Jiang Youtao was shocked.
Before she could finish being shocked, the melon-eating system said: [ Small World No. 7 tried to save itself. She used her limited power to make Tang Wan experience three rebirths, but the results were the same. No matter who Tang Wan married, she was still reborn. ]
[ She has no memory at all. Small World No. 7 has given up on saving itself. It tells you through me that you should just watch her die. Don't help her. If you help her, you will be implicated when she is struck by lightning. ]
This kind of fresh and unworldly small world consciousness was the first time that Jiang Youtao encountered it. She could say, she feels a fresh feeling about it.
[ What will happen to the consciousness of Small World No. 7 if we don't save it? ]
Melon-eating system: [ It has been successfully integrated into the consciousness of the big world, and now the scars it suffered have been repaired. ]
Jiang Youtao felt relieved now.
Since she was not controlled by the consciousness of the small world, Jiang Youtao cursed her a few more times and then went to sleep with peace of mind.
The next day, when she woke up, Zhao Yonglan came. She came alone and gave Jiang Youtao and the others a net bag of frozen pears: "I'm going back to celebrate the New Year. See you after the New Year."
Among the old and young educated youth at the educated youth point, except for Li Yunying, Wang Shanxi and Zhou Zhenfeng, she has the most experience. Wang Shanxi and Li Yunying are old and don't want to go home. Zhou Zhenfeng is now having a hot affair with a girl in the county town with the help of Shen Tao, and he is also unwilling to leave.
Zhao Yonglan got this precious opportunity to visit relatives.
She took the afternoon train and came to the commune today to say goodbye to Jiang Youtao and the others.
Jiang Youtao and the others were very happy for her because she could go home: "Go back and spend more time with your parents. Your parents are actually very good to you."
After going through many things, Zhao Yonglan has figured it out clearly. Her parents value their son more, but they are also good to her as a daughter. Her luggage bag is full of local specialties that she wants to take back to her parents.
"I know. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back first." Jiang Youtao sent her to the station and waited until she got on the bus before going back.
Jiang Youtao always felt that Zhao Yonglan would probably never come back to Liushugou after this trip.
Although there were many conflicts among this group of educated youth, they had always been together, but in just two or three months, they went their separate ways.
Actually, it is quite sad to think about it. But as long as we can look forward to a better future, these sadness are nothing.
When Jiang Youtao returned to the post office, she ran into Fu Shaohua who was sending Guo Kaian and Shao Hongnian back.
When Shao Hongnian saw Jiang Youtao, his eyes shot towards her coldly.
Jiang Youtao chuckled, "What are you staring at me for?"
Shao Hongnian didn't expect Jiang Youtao to be so arrogant. Most of the girls he met before wanted to please him. Even if they didn't want to please him, they wouldn't behave like this.
When Shao Hongnian thought of Gu Nianwei who had deceived him, he felt a pang in his heart: "What are you looking at?"
To be honest, Jiang Youtao had tolerated Shao Hongnian's arrogant and pretentious attitude for a long time.
Both of them are cool and handsome characters. Gu Hanshen never asks for a beating, but Shao Hongnian's look makes people want to bite and fight.
Shao Hongnian didn't finish what he said, and kept talking: "Go back and tell your sister that people should be grateful. I saved her after all. I didn't even ask her to thank me, then at least she shouldn't lie, right?"
Even Jiang Youtao had never seen such a stupid person: "You are stupid, and you blame others for deceiving you? Was your brain forgotten in your mother's belly when you were born?"
"Even without you, my sister would still be able to escape. You just saved her with your words. People who didn't know would think you donated a kidney and a liver to her. My sister also thanked you at the time. Isn't that enough?"
"Then tell me what do you want?"
Jiang Youtao spoke these words very quickly, and Shao Hong didn't have time to react. He opened his mouth, but Jiang Youtao didn't give him a chance to speak.
"You even asked my sister for her address. What's going on? Do you want to imitate the ancients and perform a scene where you repay a life-saving favor with your own body?"
"You are a toad wanting to eat swan flesh - what a dare!"
