Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

How long can you survive if you only rely on others?

It is better to face the reality from the beginning.”

"That's true, but it's not easy to find someone who has no parents and is ambitious."

“I know it’s not easy, but am I not still young?

There is still more than a year before the legal marriage age. Besides, even if you reach the marriageable age, you don’t have to get married right away. What punishment will you receive if you don’t get married?”

"That's right. In that case, do you have any other requests?"

"Request, auntie, can this matter of feelings really be done as requested?"

“That’s true, but no matter what kind of person we find, regardless of whether or not we have other things, at least we need a place to live.

You can't get married and not have a place to stay, right?"

“That’s true, but right now in our Beijing city, let alone having a house, even if you want to buy one, you can’t do it?

What do you think about this house matter, auntie?"

"What do I think?

To be honest, we can't force ourselves to do too much with others. If we don't have a house, then we should at least rent two houses, right?

If you don't even have a house to rent, then you don't have to get married! You can't live separately after you get married, right?

If that's the case, then what's the point of getting married?

But then again, even if you want to get married, you still have to be in a relationship!

There's really no rush for this, so let's put it this way!

I'll help you find out if there's a suitable candidate. If there is, we can meet each other.

If not, we don't need to worry. After all, you are still young and can wait!

As for those people in your factory, you don't have to worry about them.

But if there really is such a suitable candidate, don't hide it. We are here to help you check and you will never suffer any loss. "

"Okay, I understand, Auntie. I'll trouble you later."

"This is easy to say, easy to say."

"Xing girl, then do as we say. You are almost old enough to find a husband, but there is no rush. Let's first sort out the matter of Chen Dayong, and we can deal with the other things later."

"Okay, I'll follow the arrangements of the elders."

"Um!

But the matter concerning Chen Dayong may not be resolved in a short time, so please come back next week and we will discuss his matter in detail."

"it is good."

It is indeed as Uncle Zhang said. Even though Chen Dayong is a native of Beijing, if you want to find out about someone's situation behind the scenes, you really have to work hard.

But I can afford to wait, isn’t it just a week?

It's not like I have to wait for several years. He really doesn't deserve it.

In the following week, I no longer went to the classroom except when I was at work, especially at night.

Instead, after get off work, he followed Comrade Qian and Comrade Li back to the dormitory on time.

However, this matter was not only discussed among Comrade Qian and her companions, but was also discussed privately by other people as well.

"Isn't Comrade Wang from the Finance Department usually very studious?

Why have you started leaving get off work on time recently? "

"What's that?"

"That's right, don't you know?"

"What do you know?"

"Well, what can we know?"

"What else could there be?

Isn't it just that she is avoiding Chen Dayong?

Is there anything else to do besides avoiding him?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Why not?"

“That’s right, other people may not know who Chen Dayong is, but how could I not know him?

Even though we two are not comrades living in the same village, our families are not too far away from each other! "

"You mean to say that you know the situation at Chen Dayong's home?"

"Don't you know?

I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone?"

"Tell me, tell me, don't you know us yet?"

"that is!"

"That's right. In fact, not only I know about Chen Dayong, but people in several nearby villages also know about it."

"Clear what?"

"What else can there be?

Isn't it that not only are they poor, but they are also a bunch of treacherous villains. "

"How do you say this?"

"How to say?

Let me tell you this!

Chen Dayong's family doesn't just have one son, but six other sons besides him."

“Six?

No, it should be said that there are seven sons in their family!"

"Yes, they have seven sons. If they didn't have so many sons, would their family be so poor?

Logically speaking, we country folk are not rich, and our families can barely make ends meet relying solely on the income from the land.

But even so, Chen Dayong's family can't even afford this.

It was really because his parents were too fertile. Because they had so many children, his grandparents had to consider dividing them up.

I used to think grandchildren were important, but their family was just too fertile.

In the past, their family was supported by their grandparents and uncles. After all, his mother did nothing all year round but giving birth to children.

After they were separated from the old house, Chen Dayong had to work as an apprentice in order to support his younger brothers.

But even so, I heard that his mother gave birth to another child last year. Fortunately, it was a little girl, otherwise, their family's Yong would have been ranked eighth?"

“Isn’t this too fertile?

Although the government encourages people to have more children, they still need to be able to support them.”

"That's right. They are so poor that they can't even eat, and yet they still want to give birth. That's not giving birth to a child, that's taking someone's life."

"Who knows this?

Anyway, their family is near our village. They are the most fertile family in the surrounding area."

"Then what is this betrayal you're talking about?"

"Yes?

What's going on? "

"What else could it be? Isn't it because Chen Dayong was married before? And if it wasn't for that guy's father who saved his father, would their family be able to live well?

But it is because, since Chen Dayong started working at our wool textile factory, he has never admitted that he has an engagement with that person. "

"this?"

"Although it was just a verbal agreement at the beginning and no marriage was planned, but if their family didn't have help from others over the years, how could they have survived?

This is not just talk, but everyone has seen it.

But he didn't expect that when he became a worker in the city, his family would turn against him."

"Then the girl's family will agree?"

"agree?

How can it be?

But then again, what can I do if I disagree? "
