Chapter 99: Why be inferior?
That's right, Nan Xian's grandparents are ordinary farmers in small remote villages.
They came from a poor background, never went to school for a day, never read a day's books, and counted up the eighteen generations of their ancestors, all of whom were croppers who plowed and ate in the yellow earth.
But they are not short-sighted, and they know that for ordinary people like themselves who have no background and no way, studying is the only way out, so even if there is a shortage of materials, no matter how tight the days are, they have to provide for their only child to go to school after smashing the pot and selling iron.
Nan Xian's father, Mr. Nan Zhiwen, who looks clear but has the rustic name of "Iron Pillar", has been particularly competitive since he was a child, and his talent is not better than that of children of the same age, but he is particularly able to endure hardships, getting up before dawn every day, walking an hour's mountain road to the only primary school in the town, regardless of cold or summer, consistently.
Other children are running and playing like crazy, he is reading seriously, others are falling asleep early, and he is still reading and reviewing what he has learned today.
Later, Nan Zhiwen was admitted to the city's No. 1 key high school, and was escorted to Capital University in his third year of high school, went abroad for further study during his doctoral studies, and stayed at his alma mater after returning to China, and thus met Nan Xian's mother, which was also the only time in his life.
The son has such a big income, from a poor boy from the countryside to a professor at a top university in China, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a change of court, and the second elder naturally does not have to work hard anymore, and was taken by Nan Zhiwen to the capital to enjoy happiness.
However, they are not accustomed to life in the big city, and for farmers who have been dealing with the land for most of their lives, the land is their root and their soul.
So Nan Zhiwen built a brand-new house for them in the countryside, so that they could raise chickens and ducks, grow small dishes, and enjoy their old age in peace.
Nan Xian often visited her grandparents when she was a child, and she had a very deep relationship with them, and when she grew up, she followed them to the fields during the winter and summer vacations, exploring the fun of the fields and learning a lot about crops.
She once posted a photo of herself picking pods in the field on Weibo, and she never shy away from mentioning that she is the granddaughter of a farmer.
The peasants do not steal or rob, they exchange their sweat for food, they are upright and innocent, even if they go to the underworld after death, the king of Hades can't say anything wrong when he sees it.
Why be inferior?
Besides, if you really want to talk about your background, look at the entire land of China, from the emperor and the general to the common people, from the first lady to the ordinary housewife, how many people's ancestors are not mud legs?
