Chapter 1413 Breaking off the Engagement 62
The school agreed to let her start from the first grade of junior high school.
After Taohua went to school, she had no time to cook, so the couple sent food rations to Yuanchun and gave her ten yuan per month for food expenses, and they ate with Yuanchun at her place.
Yuanchun goes shopping for groceries in the morning, comes back to cook, goes fishing in the afternoon, and Taohua helps her cook in the evening.
With the cleaning talisman, she doesn't need to clean the house. Just sprinkle a talisman and the whole house will be clean, even the dust on the tiles can be removed.
She secretly washed the clothes using the washing machine in the space, and then took them out to hang them up to dry.
Huo Min also brought back a large cart of coal briquettes from other places. He usually uses a coal stove for cooking, but steamed conchs, steamed oysters, steamed scallops with vermicelli, and stir-fried seafood have to be steamed in a large pot to make them taste better.
We need to burn firewood at home.
Huo Min had a group of young brothers under his command. Every day someone would bring firewood to Yuanchun. The firewood would be chopped and neatly arranged in the firewood shed.
Yuanchun doesn't need to worry about firewood.
Yuanchun only needs to cook three meals a day. In the afternoon, when she goes to the sea to pick up seafood, she will spend a lot of effort to make a seafood feast for her family.
The days passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, in 1978, the day of resuming the college entrance examination finally arrived.
Shen Yuandong sold his job and used the money to study at home. He and his tutor Taohua, who was in the first year of high school, signed up for the college entrance examination together so that they could go to college together.
Huo Min gave up on taking the college entrance examination. He wanted to go into business. His Huo family started out in business. Yuanchun followed her husband and did not take the college entrance examination.
In order to support her younger siblings, she cooks meals every day and brings them to them.
Guo Wenzhong has already gone to the countryside.
The year Shen Yuandong got married, Guo Wenzhong's younger brother also graduated from high school and needed a job, otherwise he would be sent to the countryside.
Guo's father and mother favored their younger son and asked Guo Wenzhong to give his job to his younger brother and let him go to the countryside.
Seeing his parents' favoritism, he was sad and distressed, but after all, they were the ones who raised him, so he did not refuse. He followed his parents' wishes, gave his job to his younger brother, and went to the countryside.
But Yuanchun couldn't bear to see him being sucked dry by his relatives, and didn't want to see such a good child being treated as a fool and bullied by his relatives all his life, so she hypnotized him.
So, before Guo Wenzhong gave his job to his younger brother and went to the countryside to replace his brother, he put forward the only condition that he would sever ties with his parents.
Of course, Guo's father and mother valued the younger son more as the unfavored son, so they didn't care at all whether the second son broke off the relationship or not, and they readily agreed.
In their hearts, even if they have severed their relationship, the second son is still their son. When they are old, they will ask the second son to take care of them. If the second son dares to refuse, they will make a fuss and let everyone know about the second son's unfilial behavior.
Therefore, before Guo Wenzhong went to the countryside, he signed an agreement to sever ties with Guo's father and mother, and published a statement in the newspaper.
After eavesdropping on the private conversation between Guo's father and mother, and knowing their plans, Yuanchun felt very sympathetic towards Guo Wenzhong. When he signed up to go to the countryside, she secretly hypnotized the comrades in the neighborhood committee and had them write his address in Xiangqian Village.
Guo Wenzhong went to Xiangqian Village, but did not live in the educated youth camp. Instead, he lived in Shen Yuandong's house. Shen Yuandong's siblings often came back to the village to support him, and he was also taken care of by the Wang family next door. In the past two years, Guo Wenzhong's life in the countryside was not difficult.
It's even better than living in the county town.
