Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

No matter how good they are, they can't be eaten as food, right?"

"They can't be eaten, but men just like them!"

"So what if I like it?

Can you sincerely live with us country people?

I don't think so. "

"this?"

“Even if they really want to live their lives, don’t forget that these educated youth, everyone knows how poor their work is.

The few work points they earn are not enough for themselves to eat. If they get married, won’t they have to rely on another person for everything?

To put it bluntly, if the couple doesn't have children, they can live however they want. But if they have children, how do they raise them?

Even though children have a fixed ration when they are born, you should not forget that the ration is fixed. The child's appetite is not fixed. As he grows older, his appetite will increase.

In addition to these, do other differences also cost money?

It's not impossible for one person to earn the money, but the other person needs to lend a hand, right?

But take another look, how many of these educated youth can get any money when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year?

To be honest, no one can get 10 yuan. How can we support our family with this?"

"That's true, what should I do?"

"I don't know what to do, but I do know that no matter whether they are the educated youth who came here before or the educated youth who came here recently, they all have one characteristic."

"What characteristics?"

"Yes?

What are the characteristics?

“What are the characteristics?

This group of city people would go into the city every month without fail.

Didn’t they say that everyone has a package to take?

At least one thing, haven't you noticed? That is, everyone goes to the state-owned restaurant in the city to eat.

Who can afford to support people like them?

For us country folk, let alone the state-owned restaurants in the city, even the number of times we go to the city from the beginning of the year to the end of the year can probably be counted on one hand!"

"this?"

"You know what, that's absolutely true. What's more, we country folks are not as convenient as the city folks. It's easy for them to get a ticket, but for us, it's harder than climbing to the sky!"

"Isn't that right?

By the way, Auntie, how do you know so much about this?"

“How do you know?

Have you forgotten what our old man does?"

"Oh, yes!

My uncle drives a ox cart for the team, so he definitely knows who is going to the city.

Besides, your family lives at the entrance of the village, so you will know who is going to the city even if I don’t tell you.”

"That's right. Let me tell you, these educated youth never come back empty-handed every time they go to the city. No matter how much or how little they buy, they still need money and tickets.

that's it?

Who among us country folk has this ability?"

"We really don't have the ability to do that. Their clothes are usually better than ours in the countryside, but we don't have that many cloth coupons, let alone money.

But then again, our kids just like it, so what can we as parents do? "

"what to do?

Let me tell you it’s easy!

To marry a wife, one does not need a ready-made house, does not need a dowry, and does not need to purchase any other things.

Since your parents don't agree, then don't say anything. If all comes to this, and the other party is still willing to marry into a farming family like us, then don't stop her, so as to avoid turning around and trying to stop her, which might turn into enmity.

It would be better to just help them get married. After they marry in, we shouldn't act like a mother-in-law and just separate them out and let them start a new life on their own.

How they live their lives at that time is their business, so we as their parents don’t have to be upset when we see them later.

Also, don’t forget that every family has several sons. If this one can’t be relied upon, we can rely on the other sons!”

"Is this okay?"

"I don't know whether it will work or not, but I do know that if my son insists on marrying an educated youth, I won't live with them.

If I live with them, I’m afraid I’ll die soon.”

"Look at what you said, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth, okay?

Everyone knows what kind of temper I have. When I'm with people who have the wrong temper, I feel uncomfortable all over. How can I live a comfortable life if I feel uncomfortable all over?

If life is not comfortable for a long time, how can it last long? "

"Don't say that. If you think about it carefully, it does make sense. No, I have to think carefully about what you said later.

Even though my child is still young, he is old enough to marry. If I really find someone I don't like as a daughter-in-law, won't I regret it to death?

I have finally gotten to the point where I am about to enjoy a happy life. I cannot let some things make me unhappy. If my children don’t care about me anymore, I will have nowhere to cry. It is better for me to be nicer to myself from the beginning.”

"Shouldn't you be nicer to yourself?

Let’s look at other people we don’t dare to talk about, let’s just talk about Mr. Guo’s wife and the Lu family’s wife. Even though they all work in the fields, after all, they are still different from us.

Let’s not talk about the men first, let’s just talk about them. We can tell at a glance that they treat us very well, otherwise why are their faces better than ours?”

"Really? How about the Lu family's wife?

Take Mr. Guo’s wife for example, her face is no different from when they first arrived?

You know, their family has been in our Huangzhuang Brigade for several years, and their faces are still so fair and peaceful, it's really not simple, right?"

"is not that right?

But then again, we don’t have their ability, do we?

Don't forget, he was a worker in the city before, so he is not short of money.

Since I'm not short of money, I don't care what I buy.

But we are different. We have never left the land in our entire lives, so how can we have the money to buy things to dress ourselves up?

We just have that intention, without money everything is useless!"

"Yes!"

"What should I do?"

"Who knows? I just know that if we become like them, our lives will be over. We will just have to wait for the northwest wind to come!"

"Ugh!

This is the difference between people.”

"is not that right?"

That being said, it is true. However, we should still take good care of ourselves. There are ways to live if you don’t have money, and there are ways to live if you have money.

Although there is no shortage of rich people in the world, there are still more poor people.

People without money can still live a good life, so why not live a good life?

At this time, my daughter heard what they said and asked me with a puzzled look on her face.
