Travel back to the 80s to farm

In the spring of 1979, an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea. The wind of reform and opening up blew and blew, and finally blew into the countryside! Small vendors and hawkers emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain!

Shen Jing asked: "Erya, what are your plans now?"

Lin Erya thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to town to work!"

Shen Jing advised: "If you want to do it, just take action and do it. Don't stay in the house all day, you will get bored!"

Yes, since Lin Erya returned home, she has locked herself in the house all day long and dared not go out. There is nothing wrong with her, but she always feels that she is inferior to others.

Yang Lin was very concerned about Lin Erya and worried that she would do something stupid, so she asked Shen Jing to come over and persuade her.

Shen Jing looked at Lin Erya and sighed softly, "Erya, don't feel inferior to others. You see, now that reform and opening up have been implemented, everyone has the opportunity to venture out. If you go to work in the town, you can not only make money, but also gain experience!"

Lin Erya was a little shaken after hearing this. She knew Shen Jing was right, but she was still afraid of other people's eyes.

Shen Jing seemed to see through her thoughts. "Erya, if you really want to change your fate, you have to take this step bravely. Don't be afraid, I believe you can do it!"

Lin Erya gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

A few days later, Lin Erya came to the town with her bag on her back. She found a job in a factory. Although it was hard work, she worked very hard. Gradually, her life became more fulfilling and she became more cheerful.

That day, Shen Jing was knitting a sweater at home when Wang Cailian called out in a hurry: "Shen Jing, it's bad, Juan'er ran away from home!!!"

Shen Jing was shocked: "What!!!" She quickly put down the sweater, grabbed Wang Cailian's hand and ran out.

They searched for Juan'er everywhere and asked people in the village if they had seen her. Finally, someone told them that they saw Juan'er heading towards the town.

"Did she also go to the town to work?" Shen Jing guessed.

The two rushed to the town and asked around the factory for Juan'er's whereabouts, but they still couldn't find her.

After searching day and night for three or four days, there was still no news about Lin Juaner. When Lin Erya, who worked in a factory, learned about this, she rushed back home anxiously.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Erya couldn't wait to ask Shen Jing, "What happened? Why haven't we seen Juan'er's whereabouts yet?"

Shen Jing looked tired and replied weakly, "I still have no idea!"

"It's all that cowardly father's fault. He clearly promised us that he wouldn't beat Juan'er, but who could have expected that he would change his mind as soon as he got home and cruelly hang Juan'er up and beat her! If Juan'er's mother hadn't taken advantage of him being drunk and asleep to secretly rescue poor Juan'er from the beam, the consequences would have been disastrous! But even so, the wronged Juan'er still resolutely left this home!" Wang Cailian was so angry and resentful when she mentioned this.

Lin Yunlei ran over with a little boy: "Oh no, oh no, Juan'er's mother hanged herself!!!"

Everyone was shocked: "What!!!"

After hearing this, Shen Jing started to burst into tears. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her flesh.

"We can't let Juan'er suffer anymore, we must find her!" Shen Jing said firmly.

So, everyone decided to split into several groups and continue looking for Juan'er in the town.

A few days later, a clue finally came. Someone said they saw a similar girl in an abandoned warehouse outside the town.

Shen Jinglin, Erya and others immediately went to the warehouse, pushed open the door, and a foul smell hit them in the face.

They walked into the warehouse cautiously and saw a figure curled up in the corner. It was Juan'er who had been missing for many days.

At this time, Juan'er looked haggard, her body was covered with scars, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Lin Erya hugged Juan'er lovingly and comforted her softly.

"Don't be afraid, Juan'er, we are here to save you, and we will never let anyone hurt you again."

After a period of recuperation and rest, Lin Juaner finally recovered her health and looked much more energetic.

She sat on the bed and asked Shen Jing curiously, "Sister Shen Jing, you mentioned Shenzhen to me before. Can you tell me more about it? What kind of city is it?"

Shen Jing smiled and replied, "Shenzhen is the first special economic zone established after our country implemented the reform and opening-up policy! It is also one of the earliest coastal cities in China to open up to the outside world. It can be said that it is full of opportunities and challenges. In the future, there will be tall buildings and convenient transportation, attracting people from all over the country and even all over the world to pursue their dreams and work hard. Moreover, Shenzhen will have many modern industrial parks and science and technology innovation centers in the future. The development speed is very fast, and it will become a world-renowned international metropolis in the future!"

Lin Juaner was fascinated: "It would be great if I could go to a city like this!"

Shen Jing patted Lin Juaner on the shoulder and encouraged her: "As long as you have a dream and are willing to work hard, you will definitely have the opportunity to go to Shenzhen in the future."

Lin Juaner nodded heavily, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Soon after, Lin Juaner recovered and was discharged from the hospital. She decided to go to the town to work with Lin Erya, learn some skills, and prepare for the future trip to Shenzhen.

During their days in the town, Lin Juaner and Lin Erya supported each other and worked hard. They lived frugally and saved a sum of money.

A year later, Lin Juaner boarded a train to Shenzhen with her dream in her heart, starting a new chapter in her life.

Shen Jing turned around and went back home, and found a familiar figure standing in the yard. It turned out to be Lin Juaner's father, Lin Angui, who looked much older than before.

"Why are you here?" Shen Jing asked unhappily.

Lin Angui lowered his head with some guilt, "I heard Juan'er went to Shenzhen, I...I wanted to come and see you."

Shen Jing looked at him with some complicated feelings. She knew that Lin Angui had treated Juan'er badly in the past, but they were a family after all, and she didn't want to keep harboring resentment.

"Let the past be the past. Live a good life with the remaining three siblings in the future." Shen Jing said.

Lin Angui nodded, "Yes, I understand. This time I came here, I have another favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter?" Shen Jing asked puzzledly.

"Juan'er is a stubborn child. I'm afraid she will suffer some harm outside. Can you take care of her a little more?" Lin Angui said.

Shen Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Juan'er is my good sister, I will take good care of her."

Lin Angui looked at Shen Jing gratefully, "Thank you, Shen Jing."

Shen Jing looked at Lin Angui's departing back and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they could all live a happy life.
