Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Although Liu Heping is now considered one of our own children, there are some things we can't do the same way we do with Yin Yin and Di Youzhi. We should be more cautious and let everyone work things out together rather than rushing things.

Although Di Shengli didn't mention it, when Di Shulan spoke to Liu Laosan, it wasn't that no one in the village didn't hear it.

When Liu Heping was in the village, people inevitably asked him questions.

"Hehe, when your dad came last time, your mom said she wanted to change your surname. Is that true?"

It was only then that Liu Heping realized that his uncle had not told him this one thing.

If it were up to Liu Heping's usual personality, he would have kept it to himself for a while before figuring it out. But after spending time with Yinyin, he had learned some of her directness and went to Di Shengli for help.

"Uncle, can I change my surname to my mother's?"

Following his agreement with his wife, Di Shengli said to Liu Heping, "Sure, but not now."

Di Shengli picked up Liu Heping and said, "You're still young. We've discussed it with your older sister. In a few years, when you're older and more sensible, if you still want to change your surname, we'll do it for you."

Liu Heping wasn't a real child; he understood his meaning almost immediately—he was afraid Liu would regret it when he grew up.

Although Liu Heping was certain he wouldn't regret it, he was still a child, so it was normal for his uncles and the others not to believe him.

Liu Heping hugged Di Shengli's neck and said earnestly, "Uncle, don't forget, when I talk to you about it in a few years, you must change it for me!"

“Okay,” Di Shengli weighed Liu Heping in his hand and found that he had gained a lot of weight. He was very satisfied and then put him next to Yinyin and called to them, “Go play.”

After Liu Laosan came once, he came twice more. Once was to see his aunt Di Shulan, and the other time, knowing that Liu Heping had not changed his surname, he went directly to their school.

Fortunately, the school principal was a member of the Di family and didn't ask Liu Heping to leave; he simply stopped him.

When school was over, the principal and several of the Di family siblings surrounded Liu Heping and protected him as they walked.

Back in the village, the principal made a point of telling Di Shulan about it.

This time, Di Shulan was so angry that she severed all remaining affection for Liu Laosan. She took her brothers directly to Qinghe Village, confronted Liu Laosan, and gave him a dressing-down in front of the villagers.

Having been married to Liu Laosan for many years, Di Shulan certainly knew how to curse in a way that would strike a chord deep within people's hearts.

Liu Laosan was furious with her and threatened that he would no longer care about Di Shulan and her son, and that he would not contribute a single penny to Liu Heping's education or marriage in the future.

Di Shengmin was quick-witted and immediately wrote a certificate severing the father-son relationship, and also added a certificate that Liu Laosan agreed to Liu Heping's arbitrary change of surname.

This proves that whether the law recognizes it or not is another matter, but it is recognized here.

Although Liu Heping's reputation in Qinghe Village suffered a bit as a result, he wouldn't be coming back, so it didn't really matter.

After returning home, Liu Heping learned that his elders had even obtained this handwritten certificate, had Liu Laosan sign it, and pressed his fingerprint on it. So why wait a few years? He could ask his mother and uncle to take him to change his surname first.

Therefore, Liu Heping became Di Heping a few days later.

Di Shulan specifically asked someone to send the message back to Qinghe Village.

The Liu family already disliked Di Shulan and her son, and now they're even more averse to having this grandson.

After a few more days, apart from Liu Laosan, no one else cared about this anymore.

There's nothing we can do; this is a big deal in other villages, and people will talk behind our backs.

In Yuejin Village, where the Di family lives, the most important thing is for family members not to suffer losses when dealing with outsiders.

As for Confucian civilization and such, the village chief of Dijia Village might just smile at you; you can tell we're a minority group just by looking at our surnames. Decades ago, Yuejin Village couldn't have been called Dijia Village; it should have been called Zhai (寨).

That's right, the "zhai" in "shanzhai" (counterfeit).

Otherwise, how could there be such a good Party Secretary in the village?

After becoming Di Heping, he was happy for a few days, but Yinyin was annoyed by him for a few days.

It's clearly an old cucumber painted green, yet it writes its name neatly on it like a child, full of admiration, and occasionally lets Yin Yin taste it.

Yinyin didn't know what to say about these three characters for a moment, she could only say that they were beautiful and that her brother's handwriting was good.

Fortunately, Yinyin quickly came up with a solution.

Wasn't Di Heping overjoyed? Then, give him a difficult problem, and he'll know it's time to study.

Di Heping's enthusiasm for learning also influenced Yin Yin to some extent.

She devoted more time to her studies, and the result of her hard work was that she never lost her number one spot.

A few years later, the program of sending educated youth to the countryside began.

"Yinyin, what are you looking at?"

“Look at the new educated youth,” Yin Yin said. “Brother Heping, look over there.”

"Stop looking," Di Heping said irritably, pulling her back and giving her a word of advice.

"Yinyin, you can interact with them normally, but you're not allowed to date any male educated youth, understand?"

"Huh?" Yinyin unconsciously uttered a single syllable.

Di Heping thought she didn't want to hear it, so he quickly tried to persuade her: "Their time in the countryside is definitely temporary. If you date and marry them, what will you do when they return to the city?"

“Brother,” Yin Yin stopped him from continuing, “I was just looking to see how we got to dating and marriage. Don’t talk nonsense.”

"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore, but you have to remember what I just said," Di Heping said, afraid of really annoying Yin Yin, and planned to bring it up slowly later, anyway, he had to nip Yin Yin's feelings for the educated youth in the bud.

Yinyin had no idea how much trouble her brother would cause her in the future; she was currently focused on recognizing the faces of the educated youth.

After recognizing everyone, Yinyin didn't plan to continue looking. She had to hurry up and cook, then go to the fields to deliver food to her grandparents, father, and aunt.

Seeing that she left so readily, Di Heping felt a little relieved and came over to help.

In fact, Di Heping could also cook, but it required talent. He admitted that he was not as good as his sister at this, so he simply took over the other chores.

The brother and sister worked together seamlessly and quickly finished cooking. Each of them then picked up a basket and headed to the fields.

"Fellow villager, fellow villager, wait a minute!"

Yinyin and her companion stopped and watched as a young intellectual from the countryside walked towards them.

"Fellow villagers, I have something to ask you."

Is our village far from Qinghe Village?
