Rebirth of the Red Makeup in the Military Camp

Sumu walked along the muddy road to the entrance of the village, and saw an old man sitting at the door of his house, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan and basking in the sun leisurely. Sumu greeted him and said, "Good afternoon, Grandpa Quan!"

The old man raised his head and said with a smile: "It's Xiao Mumu, is the get out of class over?"

"Yes, Grandpa Quan, I'll go home first~" Su Mu responded to him with a smile.

In her previous life, Su Mu was not close to her family, so this widowed old man often secretly helped her and gave her many delicious and fun things.

Grandpa Quan is a widowed old man in his fifties or sixties, living alone in a house at the entrance of the village. People in the village call him Uncle Quan, while people of Sumu's generation call him Grandpa Quan.

People in the village don’t know where Grandpa Quan is from. They only know that he settled here more than ten or twenty years ago and has always lived alone.

In his previous life, Sumu never came back since he left the province, and he didn’t know what happened to Grandpa Quan in the end.

After Su Mu said goodbye to Mr. Quan, he walked along the path.

About twenty minutes later, a few houses made of mud walls came into view, one in the middle and one on the left and right. There was a fence around the house and a simple door in front. This was the "home" where Sumu had lived for sixteen years in his previous life.

Su Mu went in through the door and was surprised that Su Hui and Sun Juan did not go out to the fields today. Instead, they sat on the stone table in the yard to discuss something.

"I'm back from school!" Su Mu said to Su Hui and his wife. The discussion between Su Hui and his wife stopped for a moment, and Sun Juan said, "You're back, just in time, go and cook dinner first!

The saying “children in rural areas become responsible for the household chores early” is indeed true, but they only become responsible for responsibilities such as cooking and doing farm work. As for other aspects of their careers, their horizons are very low.

Sumu learned how to cook and do farm work early on, so now Sumu is the one who cooks most of the time.

In his previous life, Su Mu initially thought that nothing was more difficult than farm work. But after he went out to explore the world, he realized that being inexperienced was such a terrible thing.

Su Mu followed Sun Juan's wishes and went to the kitchen to cook, but she was still thinking about what Su Hui and the others were talking about. After all, their expressions seemed strange just now.

Because of her childhood experiences, Su Mu learned to read people's expressions at a very young age, but she has always been unwilling to compromise herself by doing things to please others, otherwise her relationship with the Su family would not have become so awkward.

Su Mu prepared the meal before dark. It seemed as if the Su Hui couple had discussed something and were waiting for Su Xuexue and Su Junyi to come out of the room to eat.

Soon, Su Xuexue and her brother came out of their respective rooms.

Su Hui sat at the main seat at the dinner table, with Sun Juan and Su Junyi on his left, and Su Xuexue and himself on his right. As for Su Hui's parents, it was Su Hui's eldest brother Su Quan's family who took care of them.

Su Hui said, "Before we eat, let me tell you something. You know my family is made up of peasants. So, Su Mu, you should stop studying. My family is very busy recently because we need to harvest the grain."

Hearing this, Su Mu realized that he didn't want to study. No, he had to study! Otherwise, what would happen to his dream?

Then, Su Mu said: "But I really want to study, how about this, I come back every day and do more work?"

"No, if you go to the fields, who will cook? You'd better not go to school. What's the point of a girl reading books? What's the point of reading more books? You'll still be a money-loser!" Sun Juan retorted fiercely.

Aren’t you a woman yourself? Isn’t the daughter you gave birth to a girl too? Su Mu slandered in his heart.

Su Mu was disdainful in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said: "But the country is now strictly enforcing nine-year compulsory education. If you don't let me go to school, it won't be so easy when the leaders come to find me!"

Hearing this, Su Hui showed hesitation. After all, people of this era who had not committed any crime were afraid to see their leaders.

Seeing this, Su Mu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Today our teacher praised me, saying that I did a good job in my homework, and asked me to give a speech as an outstanding student later!"

Sun Juan wanted to say something, but Su Hui waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead, but you have to work hard every day, and your grades are not good, so there is no need to continue going."

Su Mu expected it, because in his previous life Su Hui had always been a strong person. His requirements for Su Junyi were even more terrifying. He had to make sure that he had a great future. Su Hui also wanted to have a child with good grades to show off.

"Okay, let's eat," Su Hui said. When Sun Juan heard what Su Hui said, she also stopped talking, but secretly hated Su Mu.

At night, Su Mu lay on the wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to believe that he had the chance to live his life again, and did not fall asleep until very late.
