The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Of course, Li Chengye was very confident in himself, so he directly agreed, "Okay."

The two of them now had a consensus on this matter, and Li Chengye felt relieved afterwards.Of course, Secretary Chu also made some arrangements for the future, but even if the college entrance examination is over, Li Chengye will still stay in the steel factory for a while, and the handover of work is not in a hurry.

Li Chengye belonged to the group of people who knew the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in advance, so he was not very surprised by this incident.But other people are different, especially those educated youths in the countryside, who almost burst into tears when they heard the news.You must know that it has been almost ten years since the first batch of educated youths were forced to go to the countryside in [-]. How many high-spirited teenagers have turned into silent middle-aged people. They seem to have nothing to do with the name of the village in this village. What a difference.

After ten years, they finally had the chance to leave here and return to their hometown.But the happiness is short-lived. They still face many problems in the follow-up. The first one is that they have been out of the learning environment for many years.The knowledge in memory has long been overwhelmed by the heavy rural labor. In this rural area, they have no learning environment and no books to study. It is really very difficult for them to be admitted to university.

Of course, these difficulties are not the only ones. In recent years, many educated youths have felt that there is no hope of returning to the city. object.Of course, some of them have real feelings.Those gay men are okay, after all, men have a good future, and their wives and children will also take advantage of them.But the situation of those female educated youths is not so good. Many people think that it is enough for women to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.For a while, many things happened in various places.

However, this kind of situation rarely happens around Li Chengye who works in the steel factory.Their factory is a big one, and there are quite a few workers with a high level of education, but the life of the workers is already very easy, but the result of the college entrance examination is not certain.So there are not many people who are really ready to give up everything and start over.

Moreover, Li Chengye and Hu Liren both had their own separate offices, and they never announced that they would also take the college entrance examination. The steel factory didn't know that they were going to take the college entrance examination.

However, Secretary Chu also considered that this matter was very important. Recently, there were a lot less things handed over to Hu Liren, and Li Chengye also handed over a lot of things in his hands to his subordinates, so the study time for Li Chengye and the others increased a lot.

"Director Li." When Xu Liu came to Li Chengye's office, Li Chengye was still a little surprised. He had been in the finance department for almost half a year, and because both of them were unmarried, apart from normal work exchanges, they did not talk to each other in private. There was no conversation, and I don't know how she got here.

"Comrade Xu? What's the matter?" Li Chengye still beckoned him to sit down and poured a glass of water.Li Chengye looked at the door, it was still ajar, obviously it was left on purpose by Xu Liu when he came in.

Xu Liu smiled, but there was a bit of embarrassment on her face, as if she had something hard to say.

Li Chengye didn't chase him either, but just looked at her with clear eyes, waiting to speak.

Under such gaze, Xu Liu sighed deeply, bit her lips and said, "Comrade Li, you should have heard about it too! The college entrance examination will resume, and I will take it this time, but there is no review materials, I think May I ask, can you get review materials over there, preferably a series of mathematics, physics and chemistry?"

There was pleading in her eyes, as if she was going to pin all her hopes on Li Chengye.

Li Chengye did not immediately agree. He did have a lot of materials in his hand, which were left to him by Professor Zhang and the others. He had almost finished reviewing them in the past two months. Excluding the ones that Hu Liren wanted to use, he could indeed spare some for Xu Liu. , but they are not very familiar with him, and Li Chengye is not a kind person.

"Didn't your family send you any information?" No wonder Li Chengye was surprised. Looking at the girl's previous attire and temperament, she knew that this girl's family was definitely not an ordinary person. It was very easy to get a set of information. .

Xu Liu's face froze when he heard the words, and his expression was very unnatural, "I can't contact my family for the time being..."

What she said was very vague, and Li Chengye was even more difficult to ask, because he didn't know if they had lost contact or they had passed away.

Li Chengye thought about it, and felt that this girl was very good, so he was ready to agree.Li Chengye frowned, looking a little embarrassed, "There are too many people who are going to take the college entrance examination now, almost all the materials have been snatched up, and I don't know if I can get them."

"Is there really no other way?" Xu Liu immediately lowered her eyes in disappointment when she heard this, thinking that Li Chengye was going to reject her.She will be really sad. It was a very happy thing to resume the college entrance examination.She wrote a letter to her mother immediately, asking her to find some information to send to her, but she waited for a long time, but she never got a reply.

She inquired about it, only to find out that her mother remarried as early as the year she went to the countryside, and now she already has two children.Xu Liu always thought that her mother didn't contact her because she was afraid of causing trouble, but she never thought that her mother just didn't want to contact her.

She also had a very happy family before. Her grandfather and father and uncle were all cadres, but they were implicated and taken to the frontier for reform.In order not to implicate the mother, the father chose to divorce the mother, and the two severed all ties, and she followed the mother.

It's just that her status is here, life in the capital is difficult, her father and their enemies don't want to let her go, so you and she chose to go to the countryside to become an educated youth.It's been five years in the blink of an eye. These years, she didn't dare to inquire about her father and grandpa. She was just a coward with her head buried.

Li Chengye didn't know about Xu Liu's complicated life experience, so he just said reassuringly: "I can only try, maybe there are other places. In this way, you wait for me for two days, and I will tell you when I have news. I will try to find some Information for you."

After all, the most precious things now are these college entrance examination materials, and Li Chengye can't take them out too easily.

"Really? Thank you so much, Director Li!" Xu Liu's eyes, which were full of disappointment and slump just now, immediately lit up, and they seemed to be filled with the light of hope.

Xu Liu was almost thankful before leaving, and even gave Li Chengye ten yuan in advance to buy materials, but Li Chengye didn't want to accept it, but Xu Liu left the money and ran away.Li Chengye was a little embarrassed by her behavior. After thinking about it, he decided to give her the materials as soon as possible, so that she could start reviewing earlier.

The reason why these college entrance examination materials are gone so quickly is also normal. The news is time-sensitive from the central to the local, some places are early, and some places are late.And there are always some people, people like Li Chengye who can get the news in advance, and Menjiang County is not a big place, so there is really not much information.

It was rare for Hu Liren to go home to accompany his daughter-in-law that day, and he said he was going to bring her back to his natal home, so Li Chengye went home alone.

When he returned home, the two of them were still doing their homework in the yard, looking very attentive, Li Chengye didn't bother them, and went straight into the main room.In the kitchen, Mother Li was still cooking. She was also working in the sausage factory, so she came back late, and this was just the beginning of cooking.As for the children, there is no need to worry. There are several older children nearby. They all go to and from school together, and sometimes they will gather together to do their homework.

Li Chengye put down the things in his hands and went to the kitchen. Inside, Mother Li hadn't started cooking, and she was sitting on a small bench peeling edamame.

"Mom, shall I help you?" Li Chengye walked over, squatted down next to Mother Li, grabbed a handful of edamame and began to help.

"There is also a small bench, sit and peel." Li's mother did not stop her son, she understood that his son felt that he had to go to work and take care of the family, so he wanted to do more things.

It was rare for the two of them to do things together, but it looked very harmonious and the atmosphere was very good.

"Hey, by the way, you came to see me today." Suddenly Li's mother said something, and Li Chengye immediately looked at Li's mother in surprise.Since Mother Li worked in the sausage factory, her household registration was moved to the county seat, and she had little contact with the people in the village.Except that they would visit Li's father every year during the Qingming Festival, they would not even go back to the village for the Chinese New Year.

"□□How did you find it?" The main one who was looking for was Li's mother.

Mother Li sneered, "I've become more and more confused in the past two years. The good Jiang family has been messed up by that unsatisfactory daughter, and I'm so upset."

"What good can he come here for? It's not because of his daughter." Li's mother doesn't like this guy any more now. He used to think that although this guy spoils girls, he is still a good cadre after all. Now? , but it is already indiscriminate between public and private, extremely confused.

Hearing Mother Li's words, Li Chengye immediately thought of Jiang Meizhu who was domineering at their house, and immediately frowned, "What's wrong with Jiang Meizhu, I remember she married that educated youth called something?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengye also shook his head helplessly, thinking that when he came to apologize to Li Chengye for his daughter, Li Chengye even tried to persuade him, but unfortunately his words were just words. □□ Still didn't make up his mind to control his girl, let her do a lot of things, and didn't separate her from that educated youth.Although she always disagreed with Jiang Meizhu being with that educated youth, she never forcibly restricted their interaction.

Naturally, Jiang Meizhu and the others would not sit still, and in the end they would cook the cooked rice. Jiang Meizhu was pregnant with each other's children, so they could only let them get married.And under Jiang Meizhu's persuasion, the police gave the male educated youth the place of the worker-peasant-soldier college student in the village last year.

Originally, they thought that Jiang Meizhu, mother and son would be taken back when the other party became famous, but the reality was that they had never heard from each other since the male educated youth named Ji Qingge went to school in the capital.

At first they thought that the other party was not familiar with each other in the past, but now it has been more than a year and almost two years, and the other party still hasn't sent a letter back.Jiang Meizhu was clamoring to go to the capital to find Ji Qingge, but the child was still young, so naturally they would not let Jiang Meizhu go.Moreover, going to the capital is not an easy task, and the travel expenses alone will cost a lot.They are not familiar with the place of life, so it is really difficult to find someone.

Of course, Li Chengye didn't know about these things that happened afterwards, and even Li's mother only found out when she came to look for him today.

Mother Li: "Marriage is not a good thing. The child is born, but the child's father disappears as soon as he goes to school."

Li Chengye frowned. At the beginning, he felt that this person was not very reliable, but it turned out to be true, "Then why did you find him here? You can't ask us to help find his son-in-law?"

Li's mother shook her head, "That's not true, it means that his daughter wants to take the college entrance examination this time, and said that someone who wants to go to a university in the capital will find the child's father, so I want you to help her review." Li's mother said these words His face was very ugly at the time, and his heart was full of two big words "ridiculous". It is really ridiculous to be able to bring up this matter.He thinks who his daughter is, who he thinks his son is, and if he says it nicely, he is asking for help, but if he says it badly, he is embarrassing others.

Li Chengye also felt that this request was a bit ridiculous, "Is this what I really mean?" Is this really what I remember?It feels like being bewitched by someone, and there are too many changes.

Mother Li snorted coldly, "It's not what I said, but what his daughter Jiang Meizhu said, but I didn't object to it, and I almost agreed with his daughter's meaning." At the beginning, I was alone , He hesitated for a long time and didn't say it, maybe he felt that he couldn't say it. Later, he didn't know where that Jiang Meizhu got out, so he started talking.You're really welcome.Although he was hit, he was still as aggressive as he was two years ago, but he looked a little crazier, and he had to go directly to Li Chengye, obviously because his education was not enough.

Li Chengye fell silent. No matter how much you refuse to talk to people with bad brains, they only want to hear what they want to hear, and they won't listen to other people's rejection at all.

"Just don't pay attention to them, let's have less contact with them in the future!" Li Chengye really didn't bother to pay attention to these people.

Mother Li nodded in agreement, "Who said no? I didn't care what they said, so I just walked away. Anyway, we have already moved out of our household registration, and there are few chances of going back in the future. I just feel sorry for your father. All alone in the country."

Although Mother Li's life is very good now, her son is filial, and her two grandsons are well-behaved and annoying, and she still has a job now. It can be said that there are few people around here who live better than her.But she still thinks of her husband from time to time, because everything is so happy, and the little regret is the most unforgettable.

Li Chengye also felt a little troublesome. If he really went to the capital to go to school and work in the future, then he would probably have less time to come back in the future. It is really not good for Li's father to be alone.

"How about we move a tomb for Dad?" Li Chengye asked tentatively.

Mother Li looked at Li Chengye as if looking at a fool, "What are you talking about, your father is used to staying there, and the scenery there is also good, why do you want to move the tomb?"

"I didn't think it would be more convenient to move to the county seat." There is a train station in the county seat, so it is relatively convenient to go back and forth, but it is more troublesome in the countryside.

Mother Li shook her head, "You can move the tomb as you like, and we probably won't be here next year. You, you better stop working in vain."

Li Chengye was startled, "Mother, do you want to go to school with me in the future?" He was worried that Mother Li would want to stay here, and he was still thinking about how to persuade her to go with him.

Mother Li's face immediately turned serious, she squinted her eyes and looked at Li Chengye, her tone was threatening, "What? You don't want me to follow you?"

Li Chengye hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, afraid that he would be too late to deny, "How come, why not, I'm just afraid that you'll get used to staying here and be reluctant to leave, and you still have a job in the sausage factory."

Li's mother, on the other hand, looked like she didn't care about her work. She gave Li Chengye a blank look and said, "Don't even think about it. I, or you, can't take care of these two children. Besides, we are a family now. There are only four of us, how can I really be willing to let you stay outside alone?"

To be honest, Li's mother was willing to go with Li Chengye more because of her two grandchildren. She was too old to take care of two children by herself.Besides, the two children are getting bigger and bigger, and many things need to be guided by their father.It would be bad if the relationship between father and son faded if they were separated for so long.

Li Chengye naturally understood that Li's mother was more concerned about the two children, but he didn't mind, as long as things developed in the direction he wanted.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, you go out quickly, I'm going to start cooking." Mother Li clapped her hands, and the edamame in the bamboo basket had been processed.Li Chengye didn't continue to disturb Li's mother in the kitchen, and went out directly.

Li Chengye originally thought that the father and daughter would give up after being rejected by Li's mother, and then went back home. Unexpectedly, the next day, the father and daughter brought Jiang Meizhu to the steel factory to look for Li Chengye.

But Li Chengye didn't go out, he just let the guard say that he was not there.He really didn't want to deal with the father and daughter anymore. Besides, even if it was over, there was nothing to say. He would not give them what they wanted, and they would not listen to his rejection. It would be better not to meet each other.
