Chen Lu has lived in the countryside of Yangxin, Hubei since she was a child, the family conditions are very difficult, and the parents' patriarchal concept is serious, her parents are only good to her brother, and treat her as a burden to lose money, Chen Lu has suffered since she was a child, she only went to the third grade, her parents were unwilling to let her go to school, let her do housework at home, and even do farm work in the field, if it were not for the country's nine-year compulsory education system, the village chief and secretary repeatedly and four times to do ideological work, her parents reluctantly let her continue to go to school.

Although Chen Lu can continue to go to school, she still has to do the same housework and farm work at home, while his pampered brother doesn't have to do anything, Chen Lu's heart is very bitter.

Fortunately, Chen Lu met Qu Yongbo at school, Qu Yongbo is one age older than Chen Lu, or her neighbor, they have grown up together since childhood, he knows Chen Lu's situation very well, Chen Lu's experience Qu Yongbo has always seen it, he is very concerned about Chen Lu, whenever Chen Lu is unhappy and sad, Qu Yongbo will use his own way to make her happy, sometimes it is a simple trick, sometimes it is a joke, in order to accompany Chen Lu for one more year, he even took the initiative to smash his grades, took the initiative to repeat the grade for a year, and became a classmate with Chen Lu, which made Chen Lu very moved。

Qu Yongbo silently guarded Chen Lu, and in those dark years, Qu Yongbo was a warm lamp in Chen Lu's heart.

When the two reached junior high school, their love first opened, the relationship became closer and closer, and they had feelings for each other, but no one broke this relationship, and it was not until he graduated from junior high school that Qu Yongbo took the initiative to confess, Chen Lu was very moved, and the two came together.

It's a pity that the two have just come together and are facing different lives.

Chen Lu's grades are very good, and she was admitted to a key high school in Huangshi City, but she may not have the opportunity to go to school, her parents were unwilling to provide for Chen Lu to go to school, and since they have completed nine years of compulsory education, there is no reason for him to continue to go to school, which makes Chen Lu very distressed.

Qu Yongbo was also admitted to Huangshi's high school, and he was still looking forward to meeting Chen Lu in Huangshi, but after learning about Chen Lu's situation, he fell into distress.

On the night when they were about to go to the city to report for duty, the two met in the grove in the back mountain.

Chen Lu confided in Qu Yongbo her ardent desire to continue studying, she knew that only studying could change her fate, she didn't want to nest in the countryside for the rest of her life, if she nested in the countryside, her parents would marry her to a man she didn't like before long, because she had long heard her parents chatting late at night, mentioning that they were going to find her in-laws, and they had already looked for a bachelor who was more than ten years older than her, and her parents completely ignored her feelings for the tens of thousands of yuan of bride price money from the other party, just waiting for her to do farm work at home for a few years, so that she could marry her off when she grew up。

Chen Lu secretly inquired about the man's situation, that man was a very disgusting man, not to mention ugly, the person was still very sloppy, dirty like a beggar, not only that, but also a rotten drunkard, drunk every day, Chen Lu was a little desperate, she saw her future at a glance, let her lie on the same bed with such a man, endure the man's abuse, it would make her miserable, she didn't want to be a peasant woman with no culture, she could only work in the field, she didn't want to be a fertility machine that could only give birth to children.

Chen Lu cried bitterly, which made Qu Yongbo very distressed.

Qu Yongbo wants to marry Chen Lu as his wife, but his family is also in difficulty, and he is still so young, his parents have no plans in this regard, they only hope that he will study hard and have a career in the future.

Qu Yongbo thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, he said: "Lulu, you were admitted to a key high school in Huangshi, I heard that this school has a high admission rate to a prestigious university, it would be a pity if you didn't go." ”

Chen Lu said with tears in her eyes: "I know, but my parents don't let me go to school, and I don't have the money to study, and it costs more than 8,000 yuan to sign up, and I don't even have eight yuan." ”

Qu Yongbo patted his chest and said: "I have, my father gave me more than 7,000 registration fees, plus the pocket money I usually save, it should be about 10,000 yuan, not only can I pay your registration fee, but also pay the accommodation fee, you can go to the school to live on campus, you don't have to rely on your family, and they can't be trusted." ”

Chen Lu became excited and took Qu Yongbo's hand and was happy, but soon she realized the problem and said in frustration: "You gave me the registration fee, so what should you do?"

Qu Yongbo said with a smile: "It doesn't matter to me, I am not admitted to a key school, so it doesn't matter if I don't go to it." ”

Chen Lu shook his head and said, "How can you do that, doesn't this ruin your future?" And the school will definitely call Uncle Qu, and then your parents will know that you didn't go to school." ”

Qu Yongbo smiled and said: " This is all a trivial matter, I went to the school to explain the situation, and said that the conditions at home are not allowed, high school is not compulsory education, they will not be reluctant, rest assured, I will have a way to make the school not contact my parents, Yongbo brother will not go to school, I will go to the city to work, for you to go to school, train you to become a college student, and then I can earn money by part-time work, and then I will still have the money to marry you as a wife, you should know my uncle, my uncle used to go to school and his grades were very poor, but now he is better than anyone else, and he has built a two-story building, and he can make a name for himself without going to school。 ”

Chen Lu was tempted, although she still couldn't help it, but the strong desire to escape from the control of her parents and the idea of going to school to change her fate still prevailed, and with Qu Yongbo's constant instigation, Chen Lu really agreed.

When he said this, Wu Tian glanced at Chen Lu with some disdain, and muttered "selfish" in a low voice.

Chen Lu didn't hear Wu Tian's sarcasm and continued.

Chen Lu said that after she went home that night, she quietly wrote a letter and stayed on the bed, saying that she had gone to work in other places, and she didn't care what her parents would do when they saw it, and then she packed her clothes and went to Huangshi with Qu Yongbo overnight without hesitation.

Chen Lu successfully reported to the school, and Qu Yongbo helped her run back and forth like a parent until she settled down in the school dormitory.

The two came to the outside of the school, Qu Yongbo carried his bags and said that he was leaving, he said that he wanted to go to Wuhan to develop, Wuhan has more opportunities to work, and there is more room for development, Chen Lu was very guilty and sad, and hugged Qu Yongbo and cried for a long time.

Qu Yongbo said that as soon as he found a job, he would tell Chen Lu, and when the time came, tell her the address, and the two could write letters, Qu Yongbo said that his parents would pay the living expenses to the card every month, and handed over the card to Chen Lu, so that Chen Lu would not have to worry about the cost of living, which made Chen Lu even more moved, and she secretly swore that Qu Yongbo would not marry in this life.
