Chapter 308 The grassland love story of a helpless female educated youth
"Then be careful on the road." Dad said to Fang Yan and Fang Chen.
Fang Yan nodded and reminded them:
"Well, you should also pay attention to the thief in the car."
After that, he started his motorcycle, slowly entered the traffic on the road, and then headed towards the courtyard.
Not far after driving, Fang Yan smelled the smell of Lao Si. He sniffed and said to Lao Si behind him:
"Hey, you smell so bad."
Fang Chen also sniffed himself and found that the smell was indeed a bit strong. He explained:
"There is nothing I can do. I have been sweating several times on the two trains back and forth. I only remembered to bring things for them, and I didn't even bring a change of clothes."
“Moreover, the living conditions in their pastoral areas are difficult. Not only are the sanitary conditions poor, but they are also short of water!”
"Although the summer camp is close to the water source, it still needs to be pulled back by oxcart every few days."
"The water they store in the tank must first be used for making tea and cooking, and then it can be used for other things."
"Every morning when I get up there, the eldest sister will give everyone in the family a bowl of water. Everyone in their family needs this bowl of water to brush their teeth and wash their face."
"My brother enjoys the "special offer" and can use two bowls of water."
"The two little guys, Zhengyi and Mingzhu, each need a bowl of water to wash up in the morning. As an uncle, I have special care, so why do I have the nerve to ask for more!"
Fang Yan nodded and said thoughtfully:
"The conditions are difficult enough."
Fang Chen said:
"No, there are no toilets in the pastoral areas. The big robes worn by the local herders are used as toilets. When I live in my brother-in-law's house, the most annoying thing is going to the toilet."
"Furthermore, the domestic dogs in their area are very vicious. When strangers walk out of the yurt, the owner must look after the dog. The men have gone out to work. It's okay if the children help look after the dogs. Sometimes, it's the women who stand beside them and help them." Watching a dog is very embarrassing at this time!”
After saying that, he sighed:
"Hey, I can't bear it even after being here for a few days. My eldest sister really suffered a lot over there."
Dialect said to him:
"By the way, don't you want to tell me about what's going on over there?"
Fang Chen nodded and said:
"Well, it's a long story. Being able to come back this time is really a waste of time."
Then the fourth child opened his chatterbox and began to speak in dialect.
It turns out that when the eldest sister and others first went to the countryside to join the team, they were placed in a local commune with eight educated youths from the capital.
After the Qingming Festival that year, the lambing season ushered in the pastoral area, that is, the ewes that had given birth to lambs needed to be grouped separately. This was called "Sahe" locally.
Since the original sheep flock was to be divided into two, there was a serious shortage of local labor force, which was already small.
So the leader of the commune at that time arranged for the eldest sister and her group of educated youths to suspend the collective activities of the commune and be assigned to the pastoral areas to help the herdsmen play "Sahe" in their homes, which was considered to be jumping in the queue for exercise.
At that time, the commune leaders called this "xiaobao", saying that they were seasonal "temporary workers" who could return to the commune after the work was over.
Unexpectedly, after the eldest sister and others went to the countryside, they said that the policy had changed and they were asked to stay in the pastoral area for training.
The local conditions are very difficult. An educated youth from the city does not have so many survival skills, so there is no way to survive.
Later, not long after the eldest sister went there, she was bitten by a dog of a local herdsman. The injury was so serious that she was unable to work at all for a period of time.
At that time, my brother-in-law’s mother took the initiative to take care of her eldest sister.
My brother-in-law even rode back and forth every day and brought the doctor from the commune to change the eldest sister's dressing. The eldest sister was very touched at that time. In addition, the brother-in-law's family were local Han people, so there was no problem in communication between the two parties, and they became familiar with each other as soon as they went back and forth.
The brother-in-law's family likes the eldest sister very much and hopes that she can marry into their family and become a family member.
The eldest sister thought that she couldn't survive there alone, the other party's family was also Han, and her brother-in-law was sincerely good to her, so she agreed and married her.
After the marriage, my brother-in-law and family members were indeed very kind to my eldest sister.
Although life in the pastoral area is still not used to it, it is much better than when I was alone.
In the next few years, the eldest sister and her brother-in-law gave birth to two children one after another.
That is, Zhao Zhengyi and Zhao Mingzhu.
Originally, the eldest sister had already decided that she would stay in the pastoral area for the rest of her life.
The news that father Fang Zhenhua had returned to school reached the eldest sister via telegram from the capital.
This news was like a ray of light from the sky, illuminating the eldest sister's future and giving her hope of returning to the city.
Of course, the eldest sister shared this matter with her brother-in-law and parents-in-law.
Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law was very happy.
But my parents-in-law suddenly changed their attitude.
I am not as nice to my eldest sister as before.
The eldest sister also guessed the reason and knew that they must be afraid that she would leave her brother-in-law and return to the city, so the eldest sister assured them that she would not be ungrateful. Even if she wanted to return to the city, she would definitely take her brother-in-law and children back to the city.
Who knew that as soon as these words came out, the parents-in-law would explode.
It is said that the family's labor force is not enough, and now the eldest sister wants to take her brother-in-law back to the city. Wouldn't that cost their family's life?
The parents-in-law said that the eldest sister did not think about their old man at all, but only cared about herself.
The eldest sister was very angry when she saw them, so she had no choice but to say nothing about returning to the city.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, after Fang Yan returned to the city, he asked his father to send a set of college entrance examination review materials to other brothers and sisters in the family.
Even other female educated youths who were married to local people had the idea of returning to the city after taking the college entrance examination after hearing the news from their eldest sister.
The eldest sister became the local public enemy almost overnight.
Fortunately, my brother-in-law stood up and took the initiative to obtain the evidence. He said that he planned to let the eldest sister return to the city and felt that the eldest sister should not stay in the pastoral area all her life. She could have a better life.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's firepower immediately shifted to the brother-in-law.
At that time, I scolded my brother-in-law and everything.
He said he was a fool for sending his wife away. If his wife returned to the city, she would definitely not come back.
She scolded him for being out of his mind, sending his wife back to the city, and affecting other people.
He also said that he did it on purpose, just like a rat excrement.
Each scolded them more harshly than the other.
Swearing is still considered good.
Others knew that their daughter-in-law also had the idea of returning to the city, so they blamed the matter on their brother-in-law, and then deliberately made trouble to beat him.
Fortunately, although my brother-in-law is an honest man, he still has his physical strength. After he beat up anyone who made trouble a few times, everyone just kept talking and didn't dare to fight him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Forget the pressure from outsiders, the family also said that he just married a wife and forgot about his mother.
This matter is not over yet, a new telegram was sent from the capital.
Almost urging the eldest sister and brother-in-law to return to the city.
The couple was in a dilemma at that time.
I don’t know how to decide in the end.
In the end, they decided to keep the matter a secret and then do the family's work bit by bit.
Faced with this problem, they thought of many solutions.
But without exception, I couldn't convince my family.
Finally, when Fang Chen arrived, the conflict intensified.
Fang Yan glanced at the little brother in the rearview mirror and asked him:
"So the injury on your face was caused by this incident?"
Fang Chen said:
"Absolutely, but it was not with their family, but with other married female educated youths who came to me to inquire about the situation, and their family members found out."
"Then that night, some drunk people took the opportunity to come to my door and want to cause trouble for me. I had no choice but to have a fight with them."
"Did you win?" Fang Yan asked.
Fang Chen pushed up the glasses on his face:
"In the beginning, I was really no match for you, but luckily I had the chili noodles you gave me, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss."
"Later, my brother-in-law came to help me and drove the person away."
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"From what you say, my brother-in-law is pretty good."
Fang Chen said with great agreement:
"No, otherwise the eldest sister wouldn't have to take him back to Beijing."
Fang Yan asked curiously:
"Then the resistance was so great, how did you get away?"
Fang Chen chuckled, gave it a try and said:
"Listen to me slowly..."
Then I heard him say:
"At that time, I went to work for my brother-in-law's parents. I told them that the hard life in the pastoral area should not be passed on to the children. Only by returning to the city would they have more opportunities. When they settled down, I would take them to the city to enjoy the happiness. This was not the reason for returning to the city. I left them behind in order to seek a greater future. There are hospitals and schools in the city, which are convenient for everything, and I can have more income, so I can better serve them..."
"They were very polite and said that my eldest sister had already said these things at that time, but they didn't want to do it that far away. Their family's education level was low and they were not willing to live in the city. Anyway, they just had the same attitude and they would not agree to it."
"Even in the end, I said that even if the eldest sister wants to leave, she must get a divorce before leaving. Anyway, the brother-in-law must stay."
Fang Yan was speechless when he heard this.
This oil and salt are not allowed to enter!
Dialect replied:
"Actually, I just realized that my eldest sister was willing to divorce her brother-in-law, and then I said this."
Fang Chen nodded and responded:
"Yes, I guessed it at the time. You can call this family smart. They are also pretty smart. If you call them short-sighted, they are also short-sighted. They left my brother-in-law alone on the grassland, only a few people a year. An income of ten yuan would only amount to one or two months’ salary in the city.”
"Why didn't they agree?"
Fang Yan took over the conversation and said:
"In fact, it is understandable. It's not that they don't know this truth. They don't believe that such a good thing can happen to them."
"They feel that as long as the eldest sister returns to the city, she will definitely change. The brother-in-law who comes back to the city only knows the skills on the grassland, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to find a job that he can do, or even if he finds a job, the money will not be enough. In their hands, it is better to stay with them and be safe, at least the money will go into their pockets every year.”
Fang Chen nodded and said:
"Yes, you are absolutely right. I figured this out later."
"I said all the good things and talked about it, but they didn't buy it. I really couldn't think of a way."
"I even thought about letting my eldest sister cry, make trouble, and hang herself, but my brother-in-law said that they would definitely not agree."
"At that time, I thought, what can I do? I'm not familiar with the local area, so I can't secretly take someone with me and run away, right? Then I'll probably be caught up before I leave the pastoral area."
< br>
"Why don't they let him go alive or dead?"
"Later, after I thought about it, I figured out the problem. In the final analysis, it's the same as what you just said. They didn't see the benefits."
"So, I took the right medicine and thought of a way."
