Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

“What are you saying this for?

That was all so many years ago.”

"Xiao Guo, this is not something shameful, why can't you talk about it?

That’s right, why can’t I say it?”

So, under Lao Huang's arrangement, I moved into their home.

Fortunately, although their family is large, they are as simple as other country people.

Huang's sister-in-law is even more kind to her family with all her heart. In her opinion, if Guo Huaian had not saved her man.

Her life now is probably even worse than that of the widows in the village.

You have to know that no matter what era it is, how difficult it is for a woman with several children to live in a village?

Even if others don't know about this, I know a little bit about it.

And during this period, because the school had not been built, Guo Huaian was busy with his own house every day.

In this era, you don’t need to provide food when building a house. You just need to pay some wages to the team, and then they will distribute the money according to work points.

This will also make things convenient for our family, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

As for my own three children, they are taken care of by the Huang family’s children, so I don’t have to worry about them.

On the contrary, after arriving at the Huangzhuang Brigade, I quickly integrated into the female comrades in the team with the help of Huang's wife.

After all, I am not like other city people who, after coming to the countryside, either dislike this or that?

Instead, they actively participated in production. If it weren't for their skin being better than that of the country women, there would be no difference between them.

As I was walking on the road, I heard someone talking in a low voice.

"Comrade Wang, who came from the city, doesn't look like a city person at all. He really works hard!"

"Yes, to be honest, her strength is not small. People like her don't have to worry about not having enough food to eat in our countryside."

"Yes, but he's not a very good man?"

“Yes, it’s hard to do the work if your legs and feet are not in good condition.

Fortunately, both husband and wife are capable people, and even if they are substitute teachers, it is not a big problem to raise three children. "

"That's true. I just don't understand. It's fine to let others go to the countryside, but why do we have to let them go to the countryside too?"

"Who knows this?

How can we know what's going on up there?"

"That's right, but anyway..."

Mrs. Huang, who was walking with them, became worried whether she had heard everything after hearing what they said, and asked herself carefully.

"Sister, don't take their words to heart. We country women are all like this. If you really feel uncomfortable, tell your sister-in-law. I will talk to them alone later."

"No need, sister-in-law. I don't care about these things. When I was in the city before, there were many people like this. If I really take it to heart, how can I live my life?"

"That's true, but city people also talk about others behind their backs?"

"Not only are they talking about others, they are even talking about their entire eight generations of ancestors."

"what?

I thought city people were all cultured and they always paid attention to their image, but why are they so nagging?"

"Sister-in-law, it's true that there are many educated people in the city, but truly educated people wouldn't do this.

But then again, not all city dwellers are educated, some are even worse than us country folks."

"How can this be?"

"How is it impossible?

Especially after major factories started recruiting workers, the gap between people has become increasingly larger.

Relatively speaking, there are all kinds of people, I tell you..."

As he spoke, he told Mrs. Huang about what his former neighbors, the Qin family, were like. Then she heard Mrs. Huang say.

"Even after all this, this family is still taking advantage of others?"

"Yes, and they're not the only ones, it's just that they're the most obvious and they don't care about their reputation the most.

Some people would consider their reputation even if they were just taking advantage of others, but their family doesn’t care about that at all.”

"Whether they don't care or it's always like this, I'm afraid only their family knows."

"Mrs. Huang was right. It has always been like this."

“For what?

It’s just that there are people like this in our countryside too!

It's just that it's rare in our village. Even if it does happen, everyone will be more or less considerate. After all, we all have the same ancestor and are more or less one family.

This is more common in other villages, where people sometimes quarrel over a piece of firewood.”

"That's because we're not rich. If we were a little richer, I think this wouldn't happen."

"Yes, in the final analysis, it's all caused by poverty."

Isn't it just poverty?

If everyone were a little richer, who would care so much?

But in this era, everyone hates the rich, not the poor. If someone's family becomes richer, it will be linked to capitalism. So let it go after thinking about it!

It is better to take care of your own family first, and deal with other things slowly. Don't be in a hurry, otherwise it will easily get you into trouble later.

Not long after, in just ten days or so, their own house was built.

A family of five also moved out of the Huang family. Except for the luggage they brought with them at the beginning, the rest are currently stored at the post office.

I'm really afraid of the trouble of moving back and forth, and I have a lot of stuff, so it's not a big deal to leave it at someone else's house.

While building the house, Guo Huaian also ordered custom furniture from a carpenter in the village, and moved all of it in on the day of moving.

Many people talked about this when they saw their own houses.

"Or maybe the city people are good at design. They have the same house, but it looks much more comfortable to live in than ours?"

“It is very comfortable, but don’t you think that the place is a little small and feels cramped?

This is because there are few children in the family now. If we have more children in the future, where will they live?

Also, also, it seems like enough to live in now, but where will the children live after they get married?"

"Really? That's a problem. But their children aren't very old, so it's not impossible to build a house later."

"That's right, now I just need a place to live, why would I think so much?

Even if we want to think about it, it is their business. There is no point in us saying anything more. Let’s just think about our own business!”

"That's right, seeing that they are building a house, we don't even know when we will build one.

My child is about to get married, but instead of talking about dividing the family, I haven’t even mentioned buying a house. Oh, it’s really frustrating.”

"Isn't it worrying?

Look at them, they have moved into a new house, and they don’t need a mother-in-law anymore, they can live the way they want, it’s much more comfortable than us.”
