During the time when she was reborn, Jiang's father and mother had been back for nearly two months.

One of the reasons for coming back was that grandpa was seriously ill and grandma broke her leg, so grandma called her two sons back and returned the children to their parents, and grandpa's family took turns taking care of them for several months.

When it was Jiang Haiyang's turn, Grandpa Jiang passed away not long after he started taking care of him.

Without this restraint, Jiang's father and mother would definitely not be able to stay in their rural hometown.

But if I return to City S, my two children can only go to schools outside the city because they have no social security. The teaching quality of these schools is not good, and they will not be able to take the high school entrance examination.

But when I returned to my hometown, I looked down on the junior high school in town.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Lu were not used to the village primary school and clamored to transfer schools.

Liu Yan wanted to buy a house in the county town so that she could run a small business while taking care of her two children while they were studying.

Jiang Haiyang remained silent. The four-room bungalow they were living in now had only been built a few years ago.

It was Liu Yan who requested it at the time. She said that she didn't want to argue with her mother after the New Year, and strongly demanded that they build a house and separate completely.

The house was built and was basically idle except for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

This time his father was ill, and these few months were the longest time he had to stay at home.

They have 40,000 yuan in savings.

According to Liu Yan, there is still a lot of room for improvement in buying a house in the county town.

But her wife felt that she had to buy it even if she couldn't afford it, and at worst she could take out a loan.

They bought a house with a loan and had to pay back the bank every month. It was still unknown whether they could make money in the county. Their two children were in school and their eldest daughter had to provide living expenses for her mother at home. He told Liu Yan about all these difficulties, but not only did it not discourage her from buying a house in the county, it also made Liu Yan set her sights on Jiang Xue.

My eldest daughter is 15 this year.

He is actually younger, but his ID card shows he is 18.

When I applied for my ID card, family planning was strictly enforced. In rural areas, if you wanted to have a second child, unless the first child was a daughter, the second child must be three to four years apart.

Jiang Xue is a girl, so the couple must have another son.

She didn't want to wait that long, and as the census was underway, Jiang Xue's registered age was three years older than her actual age.

Jiang Xue started school late, at the age of eight, and was one year older than her classmates.

The school organized everyone to apply for the second-generation ID card. After getting the ID card, Jiang Xue found that she was already an adult on the ID card, and was four years older than some of her classmates.

I was even laughed at by my classmates because of my age.

For many years in her previous life, Jiang Xue didn't dare to tell anyone her age. She didn't know whether to say her age as shown on her ID card or her actual age. If she said she was several years older than what was shown on her ID card, she would feel like she was lying if she said her actual age.

Jiang's mother didn't care that Jiang Xue was not actually an adult and was only fifteen years old. She felt that many girls of her age in the village went out to work to supplement the family income. Since she was over eighteen years old on her ID card, she would be treated as an adult. Jiang Xue should contribute to the family.

The key is that the eldest daughter has a dull personality and is not close to her.

Although the results are good, they are not outstanding.

Then she was asked to drop out of school and go out to work.

At this time in her previous life, she actually went out to work. She didn't resist and listened to Jiang's mother's words. She went to S City with her aunt's sister-in-law Qiuxia and worked as a screwdriver in an electronics factory.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go to school, but her grandmother has clearly stated that she won’t take care of any children, and her parents are in a hurry to go to the county town, and she doesn’t want to be a burden.

I will be in the third year of junior high school soon. There is no school in the county town willing to accept students in the third year of junior high school, and they are from the villages and towns below. My grades are unknown.

And Jiang's father and mother never thought of asking anyone to use their connections to help her.

Leaving her alone in her hometown, many people will probably start accusing Jiang Haiyang and his wife of being partial.

Jiang's father meant to wait a little longer and farm at home for another year. If the eldest girl could be admitted to the county high school, the whole family would move to the county town. If she failed, it would be more reassuring to keep her by their side. After all, the child is a grown-up now, and if she is not with her parents, there is a worry that she might be deceived by a man.

But Jiang's mother couldn't wait any longer. After living in the city for several years, she felt very uncomfortable living in her hometown.

She hasn't gotten used to living in her hometown at all in the past two months.

So Jiang Xue was sent out to work. Her family no longer had to stay in their hometown, and Jiang Xue could earn a good salary to supplement the family income.

In addition, her other two children are about to enter junior high school. If they transfer there earlier, she can work harder and get into a good junior high school.

Her mother thought of everything except her future.

In her previous life, when she first went out to work, she was unable to handle the high-intensity assembly line work.

She called her parents and cried saying she wanted to go back to school, but was ruthlessly rejected. "Others can bear it, but you can't. Work hard, get your salary back and don't spend it recklessly. Don't play with boys. If I knew you dared to date someone outside, I would tear your skin off." After the call was hung up, she was crying on the other end of the phone but didn't get a word of comfort.

She did the same work numbly, her mind full of wild thoughts about the books she had read, the questions she had done, and the words she had memorized.

Qiuxia said that she was going to get married during the Chinese New Year, and after that she would no longer work in this factory.

The time she brought Jiang Xue here, she arranged a blind date at home and got married in a hurry.

In less than half a year, the man's family asked for marriage. Her parents had already set the date for her and were just waiting for her to come home.

Qiuxia's classmate Yu Juan is pregnant. The child is from the team leader of the assembly line next door. Yu Juan is also looking forward to visiting the man's home during the Chinese New Year this year to see his parents and discuss the marriage.

A girl in the same dormitory with her started dating a boyfriend who is a barber in a barber shop. Recently, she doesn’t come back to the dormitory every night.

Jiang Xue has worked in the factory for a few months and her skin has become much whiter. Although the working hours are long and the workload is quite intense, the food is good and both meat and vegetables are provided. In these few months, she has gained more than ten pounds and is no longer so skinny. She has also grown several centimeters taller. After receiving her salary, she bought herself some new clothes. She suddenly became brighter. The most intuitive feeling is that many more people of the opposite sex come up to her and show their courtesy.

Every time Jiang's mother called her, she would warn her not to have a boyfriend. If she dared to, she would hear about it and break her legs. Jiang's mother's tone was more serious than ever before, so she didn't dare to do it at that time. In the future, she might go on a blind date and get married with a stranger arranged by her parents like Qiuxia, or she might secretly fall in love with the right person like Yu Juan, and maybe get pregnant.

She felt terrified at the thought of what her future would be like.

One afternoon while she was working, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

After get off work, she called Jiang Xian, her eldest sister from her uncle's family.

My eldest sister just graduated from high school this year and was admitted to university. When she was working on the assembly line, she had already started her university life.

The phone call lasted for a long time. Jiang Xue asked about her elder sister's life in college. After hearing the other world described by the person she grew up with on the other end of the phone, she made a decision that would affect the rest of her life.

She decided to resign and go back to school. She also wanted to go to college. She didn't want to be like the girls on this line, dating a boy who also graduated from junior high school, or going back for blind dates when she was old enough, giving birth to a child and keeping the child with her, or leaving the child in her hometown as a left-behind child like she was when she was little. She didn't want to live like this. She wanted to be like her older sister, see the world and make more money in the future.
