Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Chapter 47 Jiang Weimin Goes to the Countryside

He Xiao used to be a loud and boisterous person who didn't take anything to heart.

But when she learned that Bai Ge really intended to scheme against her, she remained silent for several days.

Then, as if she had figured it out, she called her father.

Zhou Mei works as a factory worker in a food factory, and besides, her job was bought in the first place.

This kind of thing is usually left unpunished unless the people report it. Now that the higher-ups are investigating her, she can easily lose her job.

Then He Xiao packed up and threw away everything related to Bai Ge, and from then on, he never mentioned Bai Ge again.

Meanwhile, the pigeon from the hospital was taken back to the Zhou family. In Zhou's mother's opinion, since it was beyond cure anyway, it was better to take it home and let it die than to waste money at the hospital.

With Zhou Mei out of work and Zhou Lin forced to take leave to recuperate, the Zhou family suddenly lost their source of income.

The adults were struggling, let alone the children. They were crying from hunger, and Zhou's mother only fed them a few mouthfuls of rice porridge while cursing them.

Bai Ge was barely clinging to life, and Zhou Lin, whether because he had lost his male pride or because he saw that Bai Ge was about to die and no longer wanted to pretend, didn't know.

In short, seeing the true nature of the person she had always loved so despicable, Bai Ge was on the verge of collapse.

In the final moments of her life, Bai Ge listened to her daughter's cries, but her eyes were fixed on the doorway.

She also pinned her hopes on her friends, hoping they would still remember their past friendship and rescue her daughter.

Unfortunately, that last time they were at the hospital was the last time they saw each other.

Bai Ge's gaze gradually became unfocused. She seemed to see her days in the cultural troupe again, with good teachers and helpful friends, and flowers and applause all around her.

Those days were so good...

Time flew by and it was 1976. On this day, Lin Wangshu took out a letter from home and saw that it was from An Jie.

Before Lin Wangshu even started reading, He Xiao frowned on her behalf.

"Xiao Shu, is it another one sent by Jiang Changyi?"

Jiang Changyi didn't know why, but ever since he settled down in the Northwest, he often wrote letters to Lin Wangshu.

When Lin Wangshu first received his letter, she was completely bewildered by his words about love at first sight.

And although she didn't reply to a single letter, Jiang Changyi was very persistent and sent her a letter almost every month.

Logically speaking, anyone with eyes could see that she disliked Jiang Changyi. With such a strong sense of self-esteem, why would he be willing to put on a friendly face and fawn over someone who doesn't care?

But think back to the TV series, when An Jie turned fifty, Ouyang Anran brought Jiang Changyi to the island without warning and announced their relationship in public.

When Anjie found out, she was furious. Her birthday had been completely ruined.

Lin Wangshu realized something was amiss; Jiang Changyi might have taken a liking to her this time.

Because An Jie seemed to like her more, she wanted to use her to annoy Jiang Defu and An Jie.

Regardless of whether it was because of this, Lin Wangshu collected all the letters written by Jiang Changyi.

On An Jie's fiftieth birthday, if Ouyang Anran still dares to hold Jiang Changyi's hand and righteously criticize her aunt's "imperious manner" in front of An Jie, then...

Then she'll take out these letters and give those two ingrates a good slap in the face.

Bringing herself back to reality, Lin Wangshu smiled and shook her head. "It wasn't him, it was my mother's letter."

"That's good. You're just unlucky to have met such a stubborn person who can't read the room."

He Xiao sighed as he struggled to reach his toes.

Seeing Lin Wangshu making all sorts of weird and awkward movements on the bed every night, she became curious and insisted that Lin Wangshu teach her.

Lin Wangshu smiled but remained silent, carefully reading the letter. It was written by An Jie to vent her frustrations.

It is said that Jiang Weimin refused to join the army last year, but had to go to the countryside this year. Now she has become a farmer's mother.

It is also said that Ya Ning has now gone to school on the island, and only Ya Fei is left at home serving in the communications unit.

But Jiang Yafei is really annoying. All she does is annoy her. She keeps coming home and even eavesdrops on her phone calls.

Lin Wangshu couldn't help but chuckle as she read An Jie's complaints. An Jie was becoming more and more adorable, sometimes acting like a little child.

Although her words were full of complaints about Yafei, Lin Wangshu could tell that she was still quite satisfied that Yafei could come home to visit them often.

Lin Wangshu felt a headache coming on when she saw the news that Jiang Weimin had gone to the countryside to become an educated youth.

Her younger brother is somewhat timid and seems easy to bully.

If we just leave him in the countryside and don't care about him, he'll probably drift along with the tide and end up unemployed.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Wangshu turned to Song Jing and said, "Jingjing, I'll sign up with you for that theater troupe that goes on tour in the countryside."

Before Song Jing could say anything, He Xiao was shocked. She put down her unresponsive leg and asked, "Wang Shu, why are you so desperate?"

Song Jing gave her a reproachful look, "What? We're performing for workers and peasants, it's an honorable thing to do!"

Because Song Jing came from a rural background, she had feelings for farmers; it was the land of the countryside that nurtured her.

Moreover, the villagers don't have much entertainment throughout the year, so everyone looks forward to the theater troupe coming to the countryside to perform.

So when Gong Shanyi mentioned that the cultural troupe planned to form a team to go to the countryside, Song Jing was the first to sign up.

He Xiao stopped talking, feeling dejected. She wanted to sign up too, but she was scared by the image of the countryside her mother had described and couldn't muster the courage.

“I just found out that my dad’s hometown is in the place we’re going to, and my younger brother is a sent-down youth there, so I’m going to visit him.”

Lin Wangshu explained with a smile that she also wanted to challenge herself and see the beautiful landscapes of her motherland.

"Then I finally have company!" Song Jing clapped her hands happily.

He Xiao hung her head dejectedly, "I'm in trouble, I'll have to live with Shen Jiaojiao all by myself."

Shen Jiaojiao is a newcomer who came after Bai Ge left. As her name suggests, she is spoiled and arrogant. Perhaps because of her good family background, her father is a cadre in Beijing. She usually looks down on people.

"She doesn't live here often, so why are you afraid of her?" Song Jing was a little puzzled. In her opinion, although Shen Jiaojiao was difficult to get along with, she hadn't done anything bad.

"I don't know either, I just get scared when I look at her."

"Why don't you come with us?" Lin Wangshu teased her deliberately.

"Then forget it!" He Xiao exclaimed, shaking his head quickly.

After registering, Lin Wangshu and her group were about to set off.

Conditions in the countryside were indeed harsh, but the locals were very hospitable to them, even giving them the best brick house in the village to live in.

And after each performance, they would send a bunch of food backstage.

They traveled on and on, stopping frequently, until they arrived at Jiang Defu's hometown. There, Lin Wangshu saw Jiang Weimin eagerly waiting at the village entrance.

"Sis, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as she approached, Lin Wangshu saw him looking at her with teary eyes.
