Film and TV Life Experiment Program

Gu Yu followed An Jie and stood at the door of the noodle making room, looking inside.

A dozen women dressed simply were doing their jobs. The machines kept running, and their clothes and faces were covered with flour.

An Xin was among them, but Gu Yu couldn't feel who was different from the rural women for a moment.

In this way, An Xin, who also came from a capitalist family and received higher education, is in a sad situation now.

Ouyang Yi, a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, looked even more down and out.

As Gu Yu was observing and looking around, An Jie saw his sister at a glance.

He had a turban on his head, his face and body were covered with flour, and he was collecting noodles that had just been squeezed out by a machine.

At that moment, Anjie almost couldn't control her tears, but she forced them down in the end. She didn't want to make any big noise this time.

For a while, An Jie and Gu Yu stood at the door blankly.

"Are they here to see you?"

An Xin was busy and didn't notice An Jie and Gu Yu. It was a colleague beside her who patted her on the shoulder and pointed at the door and asked,

An Xin looked in the direction of her colleague's finger and also stood there in a daze.

"Little sister?" An Xin slowly walked up to An Jie and asked in disbelief.

"Sister..." Anjie's voice was a little choked.

Looking at An Xin, who was dressed like a rural woman, they felt sad. The two sisters were speechless for a moment. They just held hands together and looked at each other.

The two sisters, who came from the same family and had a close relationship, met again in completely different situations.

“Is this a military celebration?”

It took a long time for An Xin and An Jie to calm down a little.

Seeing Gu Yu being held by An Jie, An Xin asked uncertainly.

She looks so cute, doesn't she look like Jiang Defu? Maybe it's her younger sister? No, she doesn't look like An Jie either.

"He is Gu Yu, the third child in our family. Xiao Yu is called Auntie, and she is my biological sister."

Anjie smiled and stroked Gu Yu's little head, then lowered his head and said to Gu Yu.

"Hello, Auntie." Gu Yu asked politely with his head raised.

After hearing this, An Xin had a rough guess in her mind, but she didn't say much. She was stunned for a moment and then squatted down.

"You are so pretty. Would you like to shake hands with me?" An Xin said with a smile, but suddenly she remembered that her hands were covered in flour and felt embarrassed for a moment.

Gu Yu took the initiative to let go of An Jie's hand and hugged An Xin.

"Aunt, An's mother misses you very much. Can we meet more often in the future?"

The child's childish words made the sisters' eyes moist instantly. They looked at each other and saw the longing for each other.

Gu Yu, who said this, felt a little nauseous and kept mentally preparing himself.

I am a three year old boy now and it is normal for me to talk like this.

The sisters, whose emotions were boiling again, quickly realized that they were still in the noodle shop in the village, which was not the place to talk.

So An Xin asked An Jie and Gu Yu to wait for a while. After changing her clothes, she took the mother and son to their current residence.

This is a small house built of stones, seaweed and soil by the sea. It looks a bit shabby and shabby, and An Xin's face also showed some unnaturalness.

"go in."

When he entered the house, Gu Yu's first impression was that it was clean. This might be because the appearance of the house gave people the first impression of being dirty and messy.

Of course, this is also related to the living habits and cultural literacy of the people living there.

The living habits that An Xin developed in her previous living environment allowed her to live with dignity even in difficult times.

"The house is very clean."

Anjie looked around. The house was not big with only two rooms. It was definitely not comparable to the environment he lived in, so he tried to find words to say.

"The only thing I can do now is to keep clean." An Xin smiled bitterly when she heard that.

"Where are the children?" Anjie didn't know what to say for a moment and changed the subject.

"It's at my neighbor's place." An Xin squatted in front of the cabinet looking for something.

"The neighbor is very nice to you and even helps you take care of the children." Anjie said with a smile.

"Are you out of touch with the world?" An Xin retorted.

"Oh, you want money for it?" Anjie asked a little embarrassedly.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world." An Xin replied helplessly and continued to rummage in the cabinet.

"How much per month?"

"Seven dollars."

"That's not expensive." Anjie said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, An Xin turned around and looked at An Jie, with an expression of heartache on her face. You know, she was once a young lady.

61 yuan in 7 was not a small amount, especially for Ouyang Yi and An Xin's family.

You should know that now an apprentice's monthly salary is about 15 to 20 yuan, while a master's salary can be more than 40 yuan.

Ouyang Yi and An Xin both did hard labor and their monthly income might be less than 40 yuan.

At that time, one yuan could buy 1.7 jin of pork or 8 jin of rice.

The tuition for one semester in elementary school is only a few cents in rural areas and only one to three yuan in cities.

In this day and age, 7 yuan is enough for a family of three to spend for a month.

After seeing this, Gu Yu also thought of his own mother An's exquisite lifestyle that was different from that of this era.

There are a lot of different teacups and glass cups at home, each with different uses, for drinking tea, coffee, and wine.

Wine can be divided into foreign wine and white wine, each with a different cup pairing.

So, An Jie is happy. She is well protected by Jiang Defu. I believe that this trip to Xiaoheishan Island will bring her different experiences.

"What are you looking for?"

"I'll find you some cups for drinking water." An Xin replied without even raising her head.

"Isn't there a cup?" Angel picked up the porcelain cup on the table.

"How can I let you use that?" An Xin smiled bitterly again.

“Forget it, I’m not thirsty, don’t look for me anymore, just go and bring the children to me.

Xiaoyu and I came here on the duty boat, and we will be returning by boat soon."

"Okay, then I'll go." An Xin quickly got up and walked out of the house.

After An Xin left, An Jie carefully observed the living environment of his sister's family and went into the bedroom.

Just as she was looking for a place to put down the money she had brought, she saw a photo of her and her sister pressed under glass on the table.

Not only did she miss An Xin, but An Xin also missed her little sister.

Although we are very close to each other, we cannot see each other because of our identities and fear of repercussions.

At that moment, Anjie was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, including nostalgia for the past times of the two sisters, sympathy for the elder sister's experience, guilt for his own behavior, etc.

"Aunt An, don't be sad. We will come to visit my aunt and her family more often in the future, and we can also invite them to visit Songshan Island."

Gu Yu felt An Jie's sadness, shook her hand, and said with his head raised.

"Xiaoyu is so good. I'm fine. I just got emotional. Come, let me show you photos of An's mother when she was young."

An Jie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, adjusted his mood, picked up Gu Yu, and said with a smile.

"Mother An is so beautiful, just like now."

"It's not the same at all. We're all old now, but we were only teenagers back then."

“Now he looks the same as when he was a teenager.”

Gu Yu stared at it with his eyes wide open for a while and said seriously. An Jie smiled even more happily when he heard it, and temporarily forgot the sadness just now.
