Is the Zhou family a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? After a while, a new daughter-in-law has been tormented like this. Although Gu Shichu expected that Li Danyang's life would not be easy after marriage, she did not expect that it would be like this. How much torture did Li Danyang suffer?
"You...how did you become like this?" Gu Shichu asked with mixed emotions. Although Li Danyang jumped into the fire pit of the Zhou family willingly, her current appearance made Gu Shichu unable to help himself. Feel compassion for her.
——Probably because things are like animals, the original owner in his previous life was also like this.
No, even because she had no natal family and no support, the Zhou family, especially Zhou's mother, bullied her even more unscrupulously. In this life, Li Danyang had a powerful natal family, and the Zhou family didn't dare to be arrogant.
When Li Danyang saw it was Gu Shichu, he immediately blushed with shame, which made her pale face look better. She always felt guilty when facing Gu Shichu, but now that Gu Shichu saw her embarrassed appearance, her guilty conscience turned into anger and shame. Even if she was embarrassed in front of the whole village, she was not willing to do it in front of Gu Shichu. Shame on you.
So she put on a fake smile and said calmly: "What has become of me? There are many children at home, and I don't have the time and energy to dress myself up when I get busy... Fortunately, my efforts are not in vain, the children They are all sensible and obedient..."
"Li Danyang, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, come and peel them for me!" Before Li Danyang could finish his words, Zhou Jianhong's desperate urging came from behind. Li Danyang's head was about to smoke. He wished he hadn't said what he just said. That sentence.
Gu Shichu chuckled and withdrew his sympathy. It seemed that Li Danyang was enjoying it, so why should she bother to sympathize?
The Zhou family's rapid rise is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, which makes the donkey work hard. Li Danyang is the donkey who works hard. For the sake of the benefits ahead, she can endure the hard work now.
His arsenic and mine are honey. Gu Shichu and Li Danyang have different pursuits, so they naturally have different views on the Zhou family's affairs.
While Li Danyang was working hard to be a good stepmother, Gu Shichu had already begun to learn the knowledge of junior high school and high school from Zhang Weihong.
Gu Shichu has gone through many college entrance examinations, and a lot of knowledge is stored in her deep consciousness. If she wants to remember it, she needs guidance. Therefore, Zhang Weihong is not so much teaching her knowledge as guiding her to recall the knowledge.
Under such circumstances, Gu Shichu naturally made rapid progress in learning. Zhang Weihong often praised her for her intelligence, flexible mind, and ability to draw inferences from one instance. She was a genius in learning and could easily understand and apply any knowledge. Zhang Weihong acted as her little teacher very well. A sense of accomplishment.
The relationship between Gu Shichu and Zhang Weihong is getting better and better. From time to time, she will help her with some food. Zhang Weihong also reciprocates. Her family members send her things, and she will share them with Gu Shichu.
Gu Shichu had to study, so the time he spent with Ji Mingtao was naturally short. Ji Mingtao pretended to be indifferent at first, but later he couldn't pretend anymore. Every time after Zhang Weihong finished tutoring for Gu Shichu and left, he would He came to Gu Shichu's house with a cold face and silently protested her neglect.
"Okay, okay, I have learned all the knowledge in junior high and high school. Now I don't need Zhang Weihong to come to teach me frequently. We have discussed it again. From now on, I will only make up lessons during holidays when I am not working. I will not be as busy as before. , let alone ignore you." Gu Shichu quickly comforted Ji Mingtao.
Ji Mingtao didn't understand why she valued this knowledge so much: "What's the use of learning it now? You can't get into college, and you can't use it every day. Isn't it a waste of time?"
Gu Shichu smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully: "How can there be too much knowledge? Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This knowledge may not be used in ordinary times, but once it is used, it will definitely be very important. , maybe it will play a key and decisive role.”
Ji Mingtao listened thoughtfully. He understood that Gu Shichu was not a random person. Whatever she did must be carefully considered and not without purpose.
"Do you want to be a teacher in the village?" Ji Mingtao only thought of this for the time being.
Gu Shichu smiled and shook his head: "No, why don't you want to go further and deeper?"
Ji Mingtao frowned his beautiful eyebrows and looked at Gu Shichu silently. Gu Shichu came forward and kissed his thin lips and said, "Okay, don't make random guesses. In short, it will definitely not help to learn more things." It will be a bad thing. Let's not talk about those boring things and do something happy first..."
The winter in Zhoujia Village is very cold, with heavy snowfall often. Everyone stays at home and doesn’t want to go out. Gu Shichu and Ji Mingtao are like two cats in winter. Except for necessary food, drink and diarrhea, they basically don’t get out of bed at other times. Anyway, No one will find out.
The next year was 1972. Gu Shichu counted on his fingers how many years there were before the college entrance examination. When he realized that it would still be five years, he sighed and felt a little uncomfortable. There was no freedom and material shortages. For someone who loves to enjoy For Gu Shichu, it was suffering.
Ji Mingtao heard her sigh, looked at her doubtfully, stretched out his hand to pull her, pressed her into his arms, and asked, "Why are you sighing?"
"Where is the farthest place you have ever been?" Gu Shichu asked him. She remembered that Ji Mingtao had sold watches and flashlights on the black market before. Obviously the origins of these items were very suspicious.
Ji Mingtao paused and then said in a low voice: "It's the city. It takes three hours by car from our county."
Gu Shichu raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was true, and then asked: "Isn't the city very prosperous and lively?"
"It's more lively than the county town, and there are more buildings. Everything else is about the same." Ji Mingtao put his arms around Gu Shichu and said calmly.
Gu Shichu sighed with envy: "It would be great if I could also go to the city... I stay in the village every day and feel that the outside world has nothing to do with me. If I have the chance, it would be better to go to a big city."
She was waiting for the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, but unfortunately she still had to wait.
"You really want to go to the city? Do you want to be a city dweller?" Ji Mingtao was silent for a while before asking.
Gu Shichu was very honest: "Of course I want to be a city dweller in the city. Do you want to stay in Zhoujia Village all your life? The outside world is more exciting. Staying in a closed rural area is not a good choice, whether it is about living standards or What’s wrong with the educational conditions of our children and pursuing a better life?”
After hearing her words, the light in Ji Mingtao's eyes dimmed, and finally fell into silence.
He is a landowner's son. He was already under strict supervision, but it has only been relaxed in the past two years. He used to think of many ways to succeed when he went to the city, but it was simply difficult to settle in the city. Qingtian, it is difficult for a poor peasant with an innocent background, let alone one who is not innocent.
