Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

After Zhang Xiuhua decided to marry Li Jianguo, she started packing her things.

The homestead had to be sold, so she found Chen Guoqiang, who was willing to buy it for fifty yuan.

Zhang Xiuhua also donated some items that could not be taken away, such as beds, tables, basins, etc.

She packed up everything else she could take away, especially clothes.

It was difficult to get cloth coupons at that time, especially in Northeast China where it was cold. Even old clothes would be useful there.

There didn't seem to be much stuff at home, but when she started packing, she wanted to take everything away. Those that she couldn't take away were given away by her.

She packed up four bags of things, including half a bag of food. This was the next ration for her and her child, so she had to take it away.

The news of her family's death soon spread throughout the village, but no one was surprised.

A woman with three children will have a miserable life if she doesn't remarry.

Li Jianguo is a soldier after all, he has a fixed salary every month, and there is a lot of land in the Northeast, so there is no worry about food. Xiuhua's decision is very good.

Apart from the long distance and inconvenient communication in the future, there are no other disadvantages.

Most of the villagers were reluctant to part with Zhang Xiuhua, so Zhang Wangcai became troubled.

Zhang Xiuhua was his only child. Although he had not counted on her to take care of him in his old age when they were young, Shengli was gone, wasn't he? The only one he could count on was Xiuhua. If even she was gone, what would he do in the future?

He had originally counted on Guoqing and Guoqiang, but his daughter's words that day touched his heart. Biological children are biological children, and even if bones are broken, tendons are still connected. If he can't move, Xiuhua will definitely not ignore him.

But what about Guoqing and Guoqiang? They didn't even change their surnames, so how can we control them in the future?

Zhang Wangcai lay in bed, unable to sleep.

On the day Zhang Xiuhua was leaving, he finally came to see his daughter off, asked her to write back when he was free, and secretly gave her fifty yuan.

This is definitely a huge sum of money.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect that she would enjoy his subsidy thirty years earlier in this life. You know, in the last life, he was dying and no one was there to take care of him, so he thought of her. At that time, he had worked hard to save money for his retirement, and he spent 80% of it on a visit to the hospital. When facing her, he had to be cautious, for fear of making her unhappy.

She hated him for being selfish and unwilling to support her education, but he also supported her and her brother, so she couldn't not support him in this life. She accepted his kindness to her without any psychological burden.

"I'll write to you when I have time."

She is no longer a child, and she still expects fatherly love. She will learn to be superficial like an adult, and will not let people find fault with her. She will not let Li Jianguo see that she has a bad relationship with her mother's family.

The village head's wife was a little reluctant, "Xiuhua, you must live a good life. You have a stubborn personality, and sometimes you have to be more roundabout."

Zhang Xiuhua lost her mother when she was very young. Her stepmother, Jin Sufen, was sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside and had never taught her how to behave. When she heard the captain's mother's advice, she was touched and nodded to take note of it.

Say goodbye to everyone at the village entrance.

The five of them walked to the street, where there was a main road where they could wait for a bus to the county, then take a bus to the provincial capital, and then take a train.

There are pockets on the front and back seats of Li Jianguo's bicycle, which are tightly packed.

Zhang Xiuhua, holding her three children, followed slowly behind, calculating the accounts in her head.

Yesterday I went to the commune to settle my work points. After deducting the grain I borrowed, I got 267 yuan. Adding the savings from my father, the gift from Li Jianguo, and the money from the sale of the homestead, I still have yuan left.

I should keep this money and use it as capital to start a small business in the future.

With money in hand, she is not worried. When Jilin was tired, she carried the child on her back.

They spent the whole day taking buses and cars, and it was already six in the evening when they got on the train.

When they were hungry, they ate the cakes she had made last night, accompanied by boiled water and pickles.

There are people coming and going on the train, and children as young as Jilin are the most likely to be worried about.

Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua put the three children in the middle, and the two adults took turns to watch over them. The three children were tired after a day of eating, and fell asleep after eating.

The train was moving very slowly at that time, but the three children, after waking up, lay by the window and kept looking in. Sometimes they pointed at the rice fields and chattered, and sometimes they pointed at the mountains in amazement.

As the train ride got longer and longer, by the second day, the three children had lost interest and stopped looking at the scenery. Instead, they stood up and moved their bodies.

After sitting for a whole day and a night, my butt is sore.

When they learned that they would have to sit for another day and night, the three of them looked sad.

Baolin's face wrinkled into a ball. "I will never take the train again. It's so tiring."

Jilin leaned in his mother's arms, not wanting to move.

Jidong looked at the passengers in the car nervously. Every time someone passed by him, he would sit up straight and alertly, even if he was very sleepy.

Zhang Xiuhua knew that he was afraid of being abducted by human traffickers again. According to Jidong, after he was abducted by human traffickers, he drank some water on the train and became drowsy. He woke up once and hid in the bathroom. There was a passenger there. He asked for help, but the passenger handed him over to the traffickers.

He subconsciously thought that the passengers were all accomplices of the human traffickers, and he found everyone suspicious.

Zhang Xiuhua could only stroke his back to divert his attention, "Jidong, when we get to Northeast China, I will send you to study."

Jidong was indeed misled by her, his eyes sparkling, "Really?"

"Yes. You are only seven years old now, which is the right time for elementary school. But other people's classes have already started for several months. We have to make up for it." Zhang Xiuhua gave him a shot of prevention.

Jidong was not afraid of extra lessons, "Aunt, I will study hard."

In Meihua Village, parents who love their children will send them to school, but his adoptive parents never asked him to go to school. This led to his obsession that studying is a manifestation of love for children and that studying will lead to success.

His aunt was indeed the best to him.

Li Jianguo had nothing to do anyway, and he wanted to build a good relationship with the three children, so he took the train tickets and taught them to read on the spot.

With something to do, the children finally stopped making noise for the next day and night.

For example, if he finds an interesting game or sees words on it, he will ask Li Jianguo for help.

Li Jianguo is very patient. Even if the children can't remember so many words at the beginning, he will answer their questions and teach them how to form words with these words.

Time passed slowly and we finally arrived at our destination.

After getting off the train, they directly felt the coldness of Northeast China.

Before setting out, they wore short sleeves, long pants and sandals. But when they arrived in the Northeast, they had to put on an extra coat and a thicker layer of pants.

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that they would catch a cold, so as soon as they got off the train, she untied the urea bag and took out their clothes to change them for the children.

After getting off the train, Li Jianguo found an old cowherd at the gate and asked him to take them home. The fee was 30 cents per trip.

Sitting on the ox cart, Li Jianguo sat in the wind outlet, the cold wind blew into his neck, and several people were crowded together.

"It's so cold." Jidong rubbed his hands.

Baolin, the talkative little girl, was shivering with cold. "It's only September, why is it so cold?"

Li Jianguo smiled at the children and said, "The coldest time here is minus 30 degrees Celsius."

The three children opened their mouths into an O shape.

Jidong thought further, "Can wheat survive in minus thirty degrees?"

Li Jianguo was impressed by the child. Children of his age only know how to eat and play, but Jidong can think of these things. This child is very intelligent. He explained, "In Northeast China, we only harvest once a year."

Jidong opened his mouth and said, "Meihua Village has three harvests a year."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little amused and touched his head. "There is little land in Meihua Village. There is much land in the Northeast. There is enough food. And after growing food here, we can grow vegetables. In fact, we grow two crops a year."

Jidong suddenly realized.
