After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 169 The Best Parents of That Era (2)
They were immediately drawn to the hustle and bustle of the city as soon as they arrived in the city.
After being reborn, Ruolan stayed in the village. It was only after coming to the city this time that she truly felt the difference between urban and rural areas.
People nowadays lead simpler lives and have a strong sense of family and social responsibility.
Forty years later, social attitudes are more open, and it is an era of rapid development in information technology, which makes people more motivated and energetic.
Overall, the 1950s were quite innocent and conservative, much better than the repressive decade that followed. The 1990s were more open and diversified.
The tall buildings you see now will all be demolished in forty years, replaced by skyscrapers and a famous commercial street.
In the 1950s, the city had several large factories, as well as many small factories, such as pharmaceutical factories, garment factories, printing factories, and wineries.
Let's not talk about other small factories for now. Because there are many factories, there is a large flow of people. Now it is the Chinese New Year, and people with money and free time will not stay at home.
They came to a small square and saw a group of children playing happily there, while several elderly people sat nearby, leisurely basking in the sun and chatting.
They were probably grandparents who came to take care of the child, and Ruolan was quite envious of this harmonious scene.
Ruolan stared at the children, lost in thought.
Seeing his wife looking lost in thought, Shuisheng asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"What do you think about sending our children to school?"
Shuisheng was quite surprised to hear this, wondering why his wife would have such an idea.
Ruolan has been hurt by them before, so why would she want to spend money and effort to support them?
Ruolan is certainly not overflowing with love, nor is she the kind of person who forgets the pain once the wound has healed.
“They are still young, and we can’t keep them around all the time. It’s annoying to see them constantly around.”
“We just give them the opportunity to learn about culture. We don’t expect or care what they will become or how high they can fly.”
"I just want us to be loving and peaceful in the future. I don't ask for anything else. I don't want to waste my feelings on them or have any expectations of them. If I have no expectations, I won't get hurt."
“We’ve given them the opportunity. We don’t have to worry about how they’ll live their lives from now on. It’s better than them still fighting over a pittance when we’re old. Now that they can learn to read, they’ll have more options in the future. Let them go out and make their own way in the world, and we can have some peace and quiet.”
Ruolan didn't want to see those people pretending to be filial at her doorstep when she was old. Now she was giving them a chance to fly far away.
When I get old, I really don't want to see those heartless guys hanging around in front of me. Out of sight, out of mind.
The main reason is that after being reborn, Ruolan has had more than a month to calm down her initial anger.
Ruolan is in a much better mood now, unlike at the beginning when she was full of resentment.
He had just experienced death and had nowhere to vent his resentment.
He thought to himself, if he could go back to their childhood, he would strangle them before they grew up.
But when you go back to their childhood and look at those innocent little faces, you realize they were your own children.
Ruolan understood that words spoken in anger were just words spoken in anger; when it came to actually doing it, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
Later, Ruolan gradually calmed down and pondered carefully why she found it so hard to let go of their attitude.
After thinking it over, I realized it was because I had invested too much emotion in my children, especially my two daughters and my eldest and youngest children.
Because her husband died young, Ruolan relied on Heping and Qiang for emotional support.
Ruolan was disliked at home since childhood, but after she got married, Shuisheng treated her like a treasure and doted on her. All her emotions came from Shuisheng and the children.
With Shuisheng's sudden departure, Ruolan had nowhere to place her deep affection for him, so she could only place it all on the children.
Shui Sheng listened to Ruolan's words, and although he had some doubts, he nodded. "What you said makes sense, so let's do it your way."
Ruolan added, "This is something we, as parents, are planning for their last moment. If we don't invest our emotions in them, we won't care about them."
As they were talking, a group of young people whizzed past on bicycles, seemingly because something exciting was happening ahead. Ruolan's gaze was drawn to them, and she became curious as well.
"Shuisheng, is there some kind of commotion over there? Should we go take a look?" Ruolan's eyes sparkled.
Shui Sheng paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "You were just feeling sad, but as soon as you see something exciting, you immediately perked up?"
Amidst the noise, Ruolan couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
No matter what he said, Ruolan grabbed Shuisheng and chased after them.
As Ruolan walked, she listened attentively to the conversations of the people around her.
"My husband's sister's mother-in-law said there's a performance at People's Square today."
"Really? What kind of performances are there? I see so many people running in that direction."
Although they asked whether it was true or not, their legs betrayed them, moving faster than Ruolan and the others.
"Would I lie to you? Look, that group of young men riding bicycles up ahead, they're all the sons of our factory's deputy director and the director."
"The children of our distillery's top leaders are all in there."
While saying this, he was secretly envious of the bicycles.
One of the old women said, "I see those are all young men, none of them married yet. I have a beautiful and educated daughter. Do you have any connections? Try to set them up. If it works out, you'll definitely get a good reward."
She was speaking to a middle-aged woman next to her who was dressed neatly and without patches. Ruolan looked at her and saw that although the old woman was also clean, her clothes had several patches.
It's obvious at a glance that this family's financial situation is definitely not as good as the middle-aged woman next to her.
The middle-aged woman was utterly speechless at her careless way of speaking.
Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is? She's so lazy that you have to chew her food and feed her yourself. Anyone who knows that would want your lazy daughter.
However, she didn't say these words aloud. She just ignored them and let them go. There was no need to offend anyone by saying them. Besides, this old woman was too strong to mess with.
I just unconsciously quickened my pace as I walked alongside her.
Ruolan was listening with great interest when she saw them walk away and didn't chase after them. She felt quite regretful, thinking to herself that she wished she knew what happened next.
The two went to see a performance and then strolled around the market to see if there was anything they needed to buy.
They strolled into a bookstore. Ruolan and Shuisheng passed by and saw that it was packed with people. Curious, Ruolan pulled Shuisheng along and squeezed in with the crowd.
They were pleasantly surprised to find that the store was selling portraits of Chairman Mao. Ruolan wanted to buy a portrait of Chairman Mao too, but she couldn't squeeze in, so she quickly pushed Shuisheng to get in.
