A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

When Zhang Aihua heard the sound of her son sleeping, she thought of what she had noticed today and couldn't help but feel a headache.

To be honest, the Liu family in the production brigade of Xiageda Village was not a good family. Not only was they too poor, but they also had a heavy burden.

Their family is not very wealthy and they don't have many houses.

Goudan and Liu Hui lived in the same room, but since Liu Hui was a tractor driver, he traveled between the commune and the village, so he basically slept at home, but occasionally he would stay in the county town.

Erya is a girl, and there is a difference between men and women, so she has a separate room.

Next, he lived in the same room with his old man Liu Jun.

Next up are the kitchen, woodshed, toilet, etc.

This is the condition of all the houses in their house.

To be honest, if Liu Hui wants to get married, he won’t even have a separate house.

In terms of the family's financial situation, the two children in the family were in school, and he and his old man earned work points in the commune. When Goudan's parents got married, they owed a debt.

Life is not easy. In addition to basic living, we also have to pay off previous debts.

After Liu Hui became a tractor driver, the family's situation improved a little, but not much.

It was mainly because of too many burdens and too little income, and we basically spent more than we earned. Now it’s a little better and we have started to eat thick rice. Before, we had to eat thick or thin rice one meal at a time.

What Zhang Aihua had thought before was that the family would work hard for a few years, save more money, and build two more houses in the yard so that Liu Hui could get married.

After all, in the village, no one would be willing to marry into the family without a place to live and a separate house.

Especially Liu Hui, who is 21 years old this year. In the countryside, many men of this age are already fathers. If they meet a family with good financial conditions, their children can go to school.

So Zhang Aihua was actually really anxious about Liu Hui's marriage.

But no matter how anxious he is, in the end, Liu Hui is unable to get married now, mainly because of his poor family conditions and being held back by his family.

Especially when they heard that there were two children to raise, especially those of their eldest brother, the nephews and nieces would stay away and not dare to get close.

After all, no girl can accept having two little kids to support before she even gets married.

What if he got married and had another child? How could Liu Hui support such a big family by himself?

So when Liu Hui was eighteen years old, after many people introduced him to several blind dates, he never went on any more blind dates, nor did he ask Zhang Aihua to arrange any for him again.

Zhang Aihua thought that maybe she had been frustrated during the blind date, or maybe she knew that she had a heavy burden and didn't want to delay other girls, so she probably gave up the idea of ​​introducing Liu Hui to a blind date again.

Now, seeing what her son Liu Hui was thinking at the dinner table, her mind became active again.

I feel that my son might have some feelings towards Shen Zhiqing this time.

"Old man, what do you think of Shen Zhiqing who came to our house for dinner today?" Zhang Aihua thought for a long time while lying on the kang, then she nudged her old man with her hand and said to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun felt his wife poking him with her finger, so he turned around and replied, "So far, she's a pretty good girl."

"Tell me, if I want to introduce this Shen Zhiqing to our oldest son, what do you think of this idea?"

"This is a bad idea. I'm afraid it won't work."

When Zhang Aihua heard what her old man said, she was so angry that she sat up and said to him angrily, "I'm afraid it won't work? Why won't it work? You must tell me why. Didn't you say it was pretty good just now? Why are you saying it won't work now?"

When Liu Jun heard his wife's angry voice, he quickly explained, "I didn't say that Shen Zhiqing is incompetent, but that our son is incompetent. What I mean by incompetent is that he is an educated youth who went to the countryside and will return to the city sooner or later. What about your son?"

"What happened to my son? What happened to my son? My son is now a tractor driver in the commune. He is still learning technology and preparing to become a technician. He gets paid every month. How come he is not worthy of me???"

"Don't you know what our family background is? Or do you not know what our family situation is?

I see that you, after listening to what Shen Zhiqing said about his family situation today, you feel that she is alone and has a pitiful life, and you think our son is worthy of her? ? There is a big gap between the two of them.

Your son is getting a salary, but he has his father's food allowance. His father may even be a martyr.

No matter how much your son earns, he is still a country bumpkin who makes a living in the countryside. What about Shen Zhiqing? He is a real city dweller.

Besides, when they went to the countryside, they all brought books to study, and most importantly, they were high school students. But what about your son, who only graduated from elementary school? Do you think he is worthy of you?

The most important thing is that Shen Zhiqing said he was sixteen years old, but he looked about the same age as our Erya. But our eldest son is already twenty-one years old today. Even if he is sixteen years old, the age difference is five years, not to mention that the actual age difference is even greater?

Don't even think about it. It's useless to count on it. The gap is too big and we can't match each other."

When Zhang Aihua heard her old man giving her examples one by one, she immediately became dispirited, and the idea she had just had was immediately abandoned.

Although I don't want to admit it, and although I feel that my life is much better now than before, to be honest, the people in Xiageda Village are not well-off and are still struggling to have enough to eat, so how can I dream of the educated youth who went to the countryside?

It was indeed like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. It was also true that I was thinking too much.

Zhang Aihua thought about it and sighed.

Oh, forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. There’s no point thinking too much.

This depends on fate, and it also depends on whether the two of them can connect with each other.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later. . . . .

Zhang Aihua sighed, did not respond to her old man, turned over, and went back to sleep.

When Liu Jun heard that his wife was sleeping, he felt uncomfortable.

Why wouldn't you want to find a wife for your son?

All the people in the village who are the same age as his son have already become fathers, but his son is still an old bachelor...

It’s not like he didn’t see how affectionate his son was towards Shen Zhiqing at the dinner table.

But even if I saw it and knew it, what could I do?

Shen Zhiqing was a lonely widower, but she had her father's money, so she had no worries about food and drink. She no longer needed to rely on others to make a living.

The most important thing is that they are diligent and studious. When they go to the countryside, they all bring books with them. They must have saved them for their return. How can I keep them in my family's situation? ?

You said, if there is friendship between two people, then it is easy to say, and it can be stabilized and retained. If it is just based on one's family situation, how can it be justified?

Even if it was too idealistic, after Shen Zhiqing really married into the family, she probably contributed a lot to the household expenses.

Alas, now it all depends on my eldest son himself. I hope he can work hard to realize his ideas.

Liu Jun thought about it and realized that he still had to go to work tomorrow, so he should worry about his own affairs. If things don’t work out, he will just wait a few more years until the situation at home gets better.

The more Liu Jun thought about it, the more headache he got. He decided to let his son worry about it.

Liu Jun was so annoyed that he turned over and fell asleep.

Let's go and see.
