This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

Ma Laizi is not someone you can easily mess with, and Zhou Laoer is unwilling to pay back the money. What to do? Just marry Zhou Xiao to him!

After all, Zhou Laoer's family has not only a daughter, Zhou Xiao, but also a son.

Then, after Zhou Laoer and Ma Laizi agreed on the date for the wedding, Zhou Xiao ran away!

Zhou Xiao begged her brother to let her go, but before leaving, she slashed her brother's head and stole the box of money from Zhou Laoer's house.

How could a woman like her stay at home and marry a widower? If she has to marry, it should be Zhou Ran. Just wait!

In this era when one needs a letter of introduction to go out, it is indeed difficult for Zhou Xiao to go to the capital to take revenge, so she chooses to go south. She heard on the radio that there are many Hong Kong businessmen in Yuezhou, and that is the vast world for her, Zhou Xiao, to make her mark!

Zhou Xiao ran away, took away all the money and grain in the family, and also killed her brother. Isn't that a big deal for Zhou Laoer's family?

When Ma Laizi didn't pick up the bride when he arrived, he started a fuss on the spot, demanding that she either give it to him or return the money.

In the end, after their house was smashed to pieces, Zhou Laoer's family took out two hundred yuan from the private money they had saved for many years and sent Ma Laizi away.

The main thing is that this happens in this village. Even if the villagers dislike Zhou Laoer, they still have to help him. Ma Laizi has smashed the things and vented his anger. He took the money and decided to call it a day. So he left.

Far away in the frontier, Nie Shaozhe, who had barely survived the recruit company, wrote many letters to Zhou Xiao with a nervous mood, but all of them fell into the sea.

Until one day, he suddenly received a reply letter. Although the handwriting on the letter was a little different from Zhou Xiao's handwriting in his memory, Zhou Xiao's casual conversation was indeed between the lines. So, Nie Shaozhe had a place to go for his monthly allowance.

Of course, Zhou Xiao in Yuezhou could not receive Nie Shaozhe's money, let alone reply to him.

So who wrote back in Zhou Xiao's name asking for money? Guess!

Ding ding ding ding! The answer is revealed, it’s Zhou Laoer’s family, Zhou Xiao’s mother!

Hahaha, I don’t know how colorful Nie Shaozhe’s mood will be after the truth is revealed. Can it be called colorful black?

Of course, these are all things that happened later. Zhou Ran studied step by step in Beijing. In his class, there were older brothers and sisters in their thirties. Everyone was very serious about acquiring knowledge, and Zhou Ran couldn't be too lazy.

The old professors who were rehabilitated during this period were all talented and knowledgeable. Zhou Ran felt that he still had a lot of basic knowledge to consolidate, and he was learning like a sponge.

"Zhou Ran, do you want to go abroad?"

In this era, there were programs for government-sponsored overseas study. Zhou Ran's status as a martyr's orphan happened to give her a certain degree of priority in these matters.

"I don't want to." Zhou Ran answered without raising his head.

She knew that many people of this generation felt that the moon was rounder abroad than at home. Even in her dormitory, there were several young ladies who were studying English hard in preparation for studying abroad in the future.

But Zhou Ran really didn't have that idea. In her spare time, she relied on her family savings of about 2,000 yuan to roam around the alleys of the capital and collected quite a few "treasures".

If you go abroad, you will lose this fun.

"But you are on Professor Li's recommendation list."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran raised her head. The person who came was the second fairy in her dormitory, a 29-year-old "older single woman".

The fairy is a 31-year-old married woman with two sons.

"I don't know about this, second sister, where did you hear it from?" Zhou Ran still smiled, but she used her best supporting actress acting skills to act it out.

"If you are not going abroad, can you talk to Professor Li and give me the place?" The second fairy looked at Zhou Ran eagerly.

The words "give up the place" touched Zhou Ran's sore spot. After traveling to this world, she was asked to give up her place in college. Now she is a junior, and someone still asks her to give up the place.

"Second sister, you should go and talk to her yourself about this matter. Even if I refuse to go abroad, I don't have the final say on the quota." Thinking of the breakfasts that the second fairy had brought her, Zhou Ran still tried to persuade her kindly.

"You just don't want to help me!" The second fairy refused to accept it, pushed Zhou Ran, and turned around and ran away.

Oh, she is really an “old” fairy.

Zhou Ran didn't know before that he had been recommended for a government-sponsored study abroad. Now that he knew, he had to go and find out what was going on.

It turns out that since the beginning of the Reform and Opening-up Movement, Deng Xiaoping expanded the number of government-sponsored overseas students to better embrace new trends and technologies. However, feedback from the past few years has shown that only 8000 of the government-sponsored students are willing to return to serve China, while the rest remain abroad.

The loss of talent and the atmosphere of worshipping foreign things have led professors to conduct further screening when selecting candidates for government-sponsored overseas studies.

For example, Zhou Ran, an orphan of a martyr with a good family background who was unwilling to study abroad, caught the professor's attention.

"You are definitely on the list of government-sponsored students, not just a recommendation. Zhou Ran, we know you are reluctant to go abroad, but foreign countries now have more advanced technology and equipment than ours. Just think of it as making a contribution to the country, okay? We will wait for you to return after completing your studies." Professor Li said this.

If Zhou Ran refuses again, it means that there is something wrong with her ideological awareness.

The school acted quickly because it was worried that someone would "find another way" like the Second Fairy or even impersonate her.

Therefore, only half a month after the list was announced, Zhou Ran boarded a plane to the United States.

Before this, the second fairy had stopped talking to Zhou Ran, and even joined forces with several other fairies in the dormitory who had the intention of studying abroad. According to them, they felt that Zhou Ran was hypocritical. On the one hand, he said he didn't want to go abroad, but on the other hand, he was working hard in secret.

Um, where did this come from?

Zhou Ran knew that once the fairies in his dormitory went abroad, they would be among the two-thirds who stayed abroad.

Even if there is no place for studying abroad at government expense, some people will go abroad at their own expense. After all, in the next few years, the country will propose a policy of supporting studying abroad, encouraging return to the country, and freedom of coming and going.

Oh, how many like-minded friends can we meet in our life?

Anyway, it was impossible for her to be assigned to a dormitory, but the older sister in the dormitory came to see her off and even gave her an envelope containing 100 US dollars. She said, "Poor family, rich road ahead." She wished her a smooth journey.

This kind of thought is enough for Zhou Ran to remember for a lifetime.

So much so that in the following years, Huang Hui, the fairy who had returned to her original job, received large packages from abroad every year until Zhou Ran returned to China.

That’s a story for later. Zhou Ran, who had just set foot on the American continent in the summer of 1981, was still having some trouble acclimatizing to the climate there.

On the first day of going abroad, I missed home.

A hot dog without hot dog sausage, bad review!

One of the farm tools swore at me, and I fought back, and a bunch of white pigs yelled "Xia Guo Kung Fu!"

The above is a diary monologue from the "serious person" Zhou Ran.
