After graduating from high school at the age of nineteen, Geng Xiaoyu married one of her classmates, the son of a chef in a state-owned hotel in the county. After her classmate graduated, she also entered a state-owned hotel. Became the second chef.
Geng Xiaoyu got the convenience from her father-in-law and also worked as a waiter in a state-owned hotel.
In this era, working as a waiter in a state-owned hotel is as popular a job as being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative.
After graduation, Geng Xiaozhen also followed Geng Xiaowu’s footsteps and became a guest.
She asked to go, and Yuanchun didn't stop her. However, Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng cried. After all, they were the eldest daughter. After finally graduating from high school, they went to be guests. Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng were reluctant to part with it.
Geng Xiaoling and Geng Xiaozhen graduated in the same year. Geng Xiaoling originally wanted to be a guest with her sister, but Sun Chunfeng pulled her in tears and said that she could not let both daughters go as a guest. What, she doesn’t have a daughter anymore.
Geng Xiaoling had no choice but to find a temporary job in the county with the help of Geng Xiaoyu. When the state-owned hotel had another vacancy, Geng Xiaoling sold her job as a temporary worker and applied for a job as a waiter in the state-owned hotel. Geng Xiaoyu goes to work together.
Two years later, Geng Xiaowen graduated from high school and applied for a job in the county machinery factory.
All five children of Lao Geng's family have graduated from high school, which is the first in Fengling Village. All five children have formal jobs, which is also the first in Fengling Village.
As a result, Yuanchun, who was already over sixty years old and still in good health, became the most envied person among the old men and women in the village.
Yuan Chun doesn’t care what those old people think. Instead of working in the fields to earn work points, she helps cook at home, tend to the vegetable garden, go hunting in the mountains, pick mushrooms, and dig wild vegetables.
Every month, there are filial piety money given by her five grandchildren, and new clothes to wear all year round. Huo Guochang, who has been rehabilitated and returned to the imperial capital, will also send her things from time to time.
The life in Yuanchun was more comfortable than that of the old lady in the county town.
Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng went off to work every day and ate ready-made food when they came back. The couple lived a better life than the other people in the village. The two of them don't work as hard as they did when they were young. Geng Dalin now earns eight work points a day, and Sun Chunfeng earns six work points. They finish the farm work easily and still have time to tend to the vegetable garden.
Old Geng’s family’s vegetable garden is tended better than anyone else’s. If the family can’t finish the vegetables, Yuanchun will pick them and send them to the grandchildren in the city.
In 1977, Geng Xiaoyu and others, who had been reminded by Yuanchun early, all took the college entrance examination and were admitted to first-class universities in big cities.
Huo Guochang returned to the city in 1971 and resumed his previous position.
Shortly after he was reinstated, the wife and children who had abandoned him came to find him. The ex-wife wanted to remarry, and the children shyly wanted to recognize their father, but Huo Guochang ordered the guests to drive them out. Enter the military compound.
After that, his ex-wife approached him several times and wanted to remarry and continue living with him, but Huo Guochang rejected her every time.
His ex-wife also approached the organization and wanted to persuade Huo Guochang, but Huo Guochang's attitude was cold and persistent, and the organization could not do anything. Even until his death, his ex-wife failed to remarry him.
His children came several times to ease their relationship with their father, but they were all driven away by Huo Guochang. After several visits, his children never came again.
After Huo Guochang retired, he was alone and was arranged by the state to live in a cadre rest home. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would come to Lao Geng's house to spend the reunion festival with him.
After Huo Guochang died, his property was not inherited by his children, but by his biological sister Yuanchun.
Yuanchun, an old woman who was about to die of old age, suddenly inherited a large inheritance. Yuanchun did not ask for this inheritance. She donated it all to the army in the name of Huo Guochang.
In this life, Yuanchun lived to the age of eighty-nine, accompanied by five grandchildren.
