Chapter 40: Back in Time

Bai Xue, an old lady who is nearly eighty years old, looked at the yellowed old photos in her hands, and her thoughts suddenly came to a big time, back to the yellow flower years, back to the era of college.

I'm already in my senior year and I'm about to graduate from college, and girls can't wait to make a lifelong decision. Many lovers deliberately announce their relationships. Although her relationship with Gao Yuan is still the same, although it is recognized, in front of everyone, the two of them are not public.

One day, in the dormitory of the plateau, he was writing a letter home. Bai Xue sat and waited. Suddenly, Gao Yuan took out this photo and held it up for Bai Xue to see, and asked:

"Bai Xue, can I send this photo back to my hometown?"

When Bai Xue raised his eyes, he was taking a group photo on the Great Wall. She understands that this is to reveal the truth and announce the final word. She smiled and returned:

"Yes."

"Do your parents have any other opinions about the two of us?"

"My parents agreed a long time ago."

Takahara casually put the photo in an envelope. Bai Xue immediately smiled and said, "I will also say a few words to the two old men." ”

Bai Xue took the pen in Gao Yuan's hand and said hello to her future in-laws at the end of the letter and sent a series of blessings.

Later, listening to Gao Yuan, this ordinary photo caused a sensation. He also tells Shirayuki in detail what happened.

Tugang Village, the hometown of the plateau, is located on the edge of the county, and the traffic is very inconvenient. If you drive a car home, you can't find a road to walk on. The village is large and has a large population, and it is a well-known large and backward poor village in the county, because it has little contact with the outside world, and there is very little correspondence. Postmen also rarely go to Tugang Village to deliver letters. Occasionally, a general letter would be delivered to the school by the courier and passed on by the teacher. Because the village is too big, the courier has to look for a long time to find the door, and there may not be anyone at home. Calling open the door is not necessarily the person you are looking for, because there are too many people with the same name and surname.

At the end of the school day, the teacher would hold the letter from the courier, read the name of the recipient, and ask which student knew. Some students raised their little hands, and the teacher asked them about their relationship and the distance of their residences, and asked the students to deliver the letter to the recipient's home as soon as possible, and then go back to their own home.

The teacher sent the letter to the wrong person, and the person with the same name and surname would pass it on from generation to generation. The villagers are very sincere.

There were not many letters sent to Tugang Village, and there were never any cases of them being lost.

The unusual letter sent back by Gao Yuan with a photo was received and sent by his mentor and distant relative, Mr. Wang Chengwen. At Gao Yuan's home, Mr. Wang Chengwen opened Gao Yuan's letter on the spot and read it to Gao Yuan's parents.

Mr. Wang saw the photo of the two on the Great Wall and praised it. The girl in the photo is obviously an urban beauty. For this remote and backward rural area, this is the first "foreign daughter-in-law" to marry back. This "foreign daughter-in-law" also wrote a text message to her future in-laws asking for hello. The beautiful pen words made Mr. Wang even more surprised. In the villages of ten miles and eight towns in this area, there is no such talented and beautiful woman.

Wherever this teacher Wang went, he publicized the news that Gao Yuan was going to marry a "foreign daughter-in-law". Because Gao Yuan is not only his distant relative, but also his most proud protégé. Mr. Wang opened Gao Yuan's eyes, and Mr. Wang put wings on Gao Yuan and joined the work early. The plateau is his greatest pride. The ability and level of the plateau are amazing in the county. He is the only one in the county who has been recommended and escorted to college, and no one can compare to the talent of this most ordinary farmer's son.

Mr. Wang deserves to be called a teacher, and his propaganda appeal breaks the peace of a village. The Gao family is as lively as the New Year's holiday, and people come over every day to see the photos of this "foreign daughter-in-law" who has not passed the door.

The parents of Gao Yuan were extremely excited, and they made a special frame for the photo of their daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, and hung it on the front wall of the main house. The neighbors took this frame and looked left and right, full of praise.

People who come to see "foreign daughters-in-law" from other places have different reveries for different ages:

Those who have become parents hope that their children can also make a difference, and they can also bring back such a beautiful city girl as a daughter-in-law.

Those who are reading books, when they see the undulating Great Wall in the photo, all sigh in their hearts: If I can climb the Great Wall, take a photo there, and bring back such a good daughter-in-law, how good it would be. I want to learn from the plateau and win glory for my parents.

Those who have just become parents are also thinking in their hearts: not only to beg for food with a stick, but also to provide for their children to go to school and study, not to let their children go their own way, not to let their children be blind again, so that children will have a future to be promising.

……

This photo sent back by the plateau has aroused the emotion of many people in their hometown, this is a revolution in the depths of the mind, firing at the traditional old feudal concept.

The story of Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall and Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall is not only known to everyone in the countryside, but also has all kinds of magical legends.

Gao Yuan was the first person in the village to climb the Great Wall. Gao Yuan was the first to bring back a "foreign daughter-in-law". The plateau created a precedent for climbing the Great Wall, and also created a precedent for marrying a "foreign daughter-in-law". These poor villagers suddenly set their sights high and far away. The Gao family was originally a small family name in the village, but now it has become a famous household in the whole village, and its reputation has spread all over the nearby ten miles and eight townships.
