This night, Ning Guang stayed with Shen Anyi for more than an hour before going back.

When she left, her pockets were full of pastries and candies, and Kong Huamei, who was called out to send her back, smiled in front of her granddaughter and didn't say anything, and when she arrived outside the courtyard, she said lightly: "You are really blessed, my granddaughter came, and she didn't get so much light on my obedient hands at home." ”

Because of the grievances she suffered in her mother's family in her early years, Zhao Xia supported her mother's family, and the shelf was not small, especially for her nephews and nieces.

So much so that Shen Anyi has not played with her cousins until now.

Originally, Kong Huamei was not worried, because Zhao Xia's father-in-law and mother-in-law went to Beijing to see a doctor this time, and it would take more than half a year to say the least.

When her daughter is here, it is not good to teach her granddaughter to be close to her grandchildren, and when her daughter is gone, what does Xiaomeitou, who is only nine years old, understand?

As a result, it has only been a few days since my granddaughter came?

My own children are not familiar with their faces, but Ningguang next door is leaning on the photo!

How did Kong Huamei see how Ning Guang was unpleasant, and seeing that she was silent, she added: "It's not easy for An Yi's Mu Yan Abel to make money outside, don't bully her if you don't have a heart." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the two families were next door, there were really not a few steps away, she really wanted to pull Ning Guang and say it well, so that this little beauty would know that her own cheap was not so easy to take advantage of.

And Shen Anyi, who was coaxed upstairs by Zhao Fuliang to do her homework, didn't know, and chatted with Zhao Xia while opening the stationery box: "Ning Guang's family is so bad, if I hadn't persuaded her just now, she would have saved all the snacks and brought them back to Ning Zong, saying that if she didn't do this, her mother would beat her...... Mom, is her mom her stepmother? ”

She had read all of Grimm's fairy tales, and like most children of her age, she was impressed by all kinds of vicious stepmothers.

"Of course not." Zhao Xia is already lying in bed. On it, I took a book on clothing and flipped through it for a while, and said lazily, "Good girl, you don't know, in this country, my mother is sometimes more ruthless to my daughter than the stepmother in the fairy tale!" ”

Seeing Shen Anyi's eyes widened in disbelief, Zhao Xia regretted it a little, didn't she work hard just for her daughter to be carefree and happy?

Why did you tell her about what she didn't have?

Just changed the topic: "By the way, what did you just say to Ning Guang?" Did you hear her say about her family? Did you tell her about our family, so that she could go to the city to play at our house in the future? ”

Zhao Xia encourages her daughter to invite her peers to her home, because she heard from her mother-in-law that this is called cultivating children's communication and leadership skills.

She hasn't read any books herself, but she is very concerned about her daughter's cultivation.

"No, I saw that Ning Guang wanted to cry when he said it, and I couldn't bear to ask more, so I gave her an idea." Shen Anyi took out her homework and said as she wrote, "Mom, how can there be a mother who is more ruthless to her daughter than a stepmother?" ”

I couldn't help but look up and ask, "Mom, will you beat me in the future?" When I was at school today, Ning Guang said that if I bring so much candy to my classmates, you will beat me. ”

"I'm not an uninformed country woman like Ning Yue'e!" Zhao Xia's face suddenly sank, and she said sharply, "Besides, my daughter, can it be compared to Ning Yue'e's daughter!" ”

Shen Anyi didn't know why she was angry, and pinched the pen in a panic.

"Don't listen to Ning Guang." Seeing this, Zhao Xia hurriedly slowed down her face and coaxed softly, "What does she know about a beautiful woman in the countryside...... By the way, what idea did you give Ning Guang? My family is the smartest, tell my mother about it? ”

"I asked Ningguang to study hard, and when he was admitted to university in the future, he would fill in a long-distance volunteer, and then ignore the family in the future!" Shen Anyi was immediately diverted and said, "Look how they still bully Ning Guang!" ”

Zhao Xia sneered in her heart when she heard this, and felt that the skinny little beauty next door with frostbite on her hands looked like a little college student?

It's my own daughter, who was born to go to college and sit in the office.

However, seeing her daughter's indignant appearance with her small breasts, she didn't want to hit her: "Then you have to study hard, otherwise Ning Guang is a college student, you don't study for a master's degree or a doctorate, how can your mother's face be bright!" ”

In her life, she has trampled Ning Yue's family under her feet.

Of course, her daughter will also trample Ning Guang to death.

But Shen Anyi didn't have to compare Ningguang with the idea of going down, and happily understood: "Yes, yes, yes, in the future, Ningguang and I will not only have to take the university examination, but also take the master's and doctoral examinations, and study all the way, so that those who look down on girls know that we girls are better than many boys!" ”

"I'm going to college!" At this moment, Ning Guang, who took out all the sweets and pastries and handed them to Ning Yue, and was searched to confirm that he did not quietly leave a piece, finally lay down on his bed. She looked at the bleak moonlight shining in from the outside of the frosted glass, and for the first time in her life, she had a goal.

In the past, she was just ignorant of grievances, and for the future, only Miao Guoqing sighed in private and said that it would be good to get married.

But as far as the mothers and ladies that Ning Guang saw, don't they all want to be at home in the fields and serve the family?

In the world she had seen so far, it seemed that as long as she was a woman, she was born to work.

The only exception is Zhao Xia.

But not everyone can have the pretty appearance of Zhao Xia, and fortunately, she met a capable husband who didn't care about her rural household registration.

Therefore, no matter how indignant Ningguang was in the past, he could only accept that he would study for a few years, and if he had good grades, he should have graduated from junior high school, and if he had bad grades, he would have graduated from elementary school...... The appearance of being a teenager can almost be said to be a family.

Then it's getting married, serving your in-laws, your husband, maybe your brother-in-law or sister-in-law, and then it's about having children and serving your children...... The days that can be seen at a glance.

It's like a circle with no way out.

The previous generation lived like this, and so did she.

With the years and life reproduced.

Until just now, Shen Anyi told her a new path: she should study hard and get admitted to university.

After entering the university, she was able to transfer her hukou and find a job in the city.

In this way, she can make her own decisions in her life, instead of struggling in this village, struggling in the cycle of generations.

If it weren't for the fear that Ning Yue'e would come in and scold her for wasting lamp oil after finding out, she would have wanted to get up and read immediately!

She couldn't get up to read, so she recalled the content of the teacher's lecture over and over again.

The teachers in their village are all private teachers, and their level is not high, and they are generally not young, so they love to remember the bittersweet memories with them.

In the past, Ning Guang didn't like to hear them say this, not because he was bored, but every time these teachers finished talking about the misery of the past, they would always sigh with emotion: "You are still blessed and born now...... You're in for a good time! ”

But Ningguang never felt that he was better off than before.

Starving?

She is also often hungry now, for example, tonight, if Shen Anyi hadn't forced her to eat, she would only be hungry for one night.

I won't give her more breakfast tomorrow.

Beaten?

It's even more commonplace!

Fight?

Since someone can survive the chaos, it can be seen that they will not die if they encounter the things of war.

After all, what did you say?

Other people's beautiful heads can be done, why can't you do it?

So, if others can survive intact in the era of bullets, why can't they themselves?

Ning Guang didn't feel like he was catching up with the good times at all.

But this night she didn't think so.

She chewed on Shen Anyi's encouragement repeatedly: "Now is a new era, not the old society, when only boys can get ahead by studying!" Now girls can also study and go to university, and when you go to college, you can completely change your fate, and then you can live your life however you want, and you don't have to pay attention to these people in your family! ”

This was the first time in Ning Guang's life that he saw the light of day in his dim and dazed life.

Before this, although everyone knew that there was such a thing as a university, but in Liming Town, where high school graduation is considered a high degree, even if it is a village elementary school, no, even if it is a student of Li Elementary School, not everyone dares to say that they will be admitted to university in the future.

After all, the only middle school in Liming Town, how many admission letters can be received after the college entrance examination every year?

Ning Guang never thought that he would have such ambition as being admitted to university.

However, in Shen Anyi's view, it seems that going to college is a matter of course.

The point is that she feels that it is also natural for Ningguang to go to college.

"My aunt went to university in the capital, and during the holidays, she changed shifts with my mother to take care of her grandparents." She was full of confidence, and when she spoke, there was a sparkle in her eyes, like countless stars twinkling, "She estimated to me that if I keep my grades, I will have no problem going to college!" ”

"Anyway, we live close now, we go to and from school together every day, if you don't understand, if you are embarrassed to ask the teacher, you can come and ask me!"

"When the time comes, let's make progress together, take the university entrance examination together, and maybe we can be table mates in the university!"

Ning Guang listened attentively, she only imagined such a scene for a short time, and her blood boiled all over her body with excitement, so that she felt her mouth dry, and subconsciously pursed her lips before saying, "I...... I'm stupid. ”

"Don't always listen to your family scolding you and feel stupid." Shen Anyi persuaded her, "You see that you can cook when you are so old, or cook for the whole family, I can't even boil water!" So you're actually very smart, so you're not stupid! ”

Ning Guang really wanted to tell her that in the entire Meitou family in Chaoyang Village, there was probably only Shen Anyi who couldn't cook if they were over six years old.

No, even the wealthier families in the town are not so accustomed to beauty.

Because the beautiful head who can't work at this time will be poked in the backbone when he goes out. When it comes to the age of kissing, the man comes to inquire, unless it is a long-looking young man like Zhao Xia who is fascinated at a glance, otherwise he basically has to blow it!

But in the end, she just pursed her lips and nodded.

Confused for so long, resentful for so long, she finally saw the dawn, even if she knew that there was little hope, she always had to try.

This is the countryside in 1995.

The little girl with the dream of reading to change her fate slowly fell asleep with a full body of pain and infinite longing for the future.

It's a pity that a year later, reality poured cold water on her with a dazzling transcript.

Cool to the bone.
