Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

At five in the morning, the Feng family's courtyard was bustling with activity. Breakfast was ready, hot water was boiled, and even the chickens in the yard were fed.

It was just daybreak, when the two children of the Feng family were still sleeping soundly, Feng Tang and Huang Qiuying also got up.

"Mom, you got up so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Huang Qiuying felt bad. The old lady was already quite old and had been working hard in the countryside. Now that she was in the city, she had never enjoyed a single day of comfort. Instead, she had to wash clothes and cook for the family every day. It was really too hard for her.

"Hey, I can't sleep that much when I'm old. I can't sleep at all."

Mother Feng smiled and said, "You have to work and study at the same time, so your time is precious. I am in good health and cannot sit idle. If I don't find something to do, I will get sick."

Huang Qiuying was grateful. Although her mother-in-law could not read or write, she knew a lot. At least when it came to educating children, she was very good.

Feng Tang has four brothers and sisters, and they all live a good life. Two of them are in technical secondary school, one is in high school, and only the youngest sister is young and is in middle school.

This is very rare in the countryside.

"Mom, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? If anyone should thank you, it should be me." Feng's mother spoke with a strong rural accent, but the voice sounded very kind to Huang Qiuying's ears.

A few months ago, Feng Tang wrote a letter to his family, hoping that his mother could come to Beijing to take care of the two children for a while. He also wrote letters to his eldest brother and second sister, and sent them a lot of study materials.

After receiving the letter, the eldest brother Feng and the second sister Feng also gave positive feedback. The tacit understanding between the brothers and sisters had already been established. Although the words were not fully expressed, everything was implied.

After receiving the review materials, eldest brother Feng and second sister Feng took out their textbooks and started reviewing half a year in advance. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, mother Feng suddenly realized that her second son had already received the news, which led to the subsequent events.

Feng's mother is not well educated, but she knows that learning and reading are important. Her youngest son and daughter-in-law still care about their family. When they encounter problems, they know to inform their brothers and sisters and help each other. She is very happy and grateful.

As parents, don’t we all hope to see our children helping each other and loving each other?

So she would rather eat coarse food and grit her teeth to support her children's education.

"Mom, why are you thanking me? This is what we should do. If it weren't for your persistence, Fengtang wouldn't be where it is today."

This is true.

The Feng family was almost a laughing stock in the village. Life in the countryside was already difficult, and the Feng family became even more difficult and poorer because they had to send four children to school. They could not eat any meat all year round, and their clothes were full of patches.

When talking about the Feng family, the most common thing the villagers say is that they can't even afford to eat, yet they still have the mind to go to school. They are so idle.

But this kind of voice came to an abrupt end after Feng Tang and his elder brother graduated.

After graduation, the two brothers both had stable jobs and went to the city to become enviable workers. They earned dozens of yuan a month, married city wives who also ate rationed food, and could send money home to support their parents. It was only at this time that the villagers realized that Father and Mother Feng were truly wise.

In this era, there are not many people who have this kind of awareness.

"We are a family and we don't say a word." Feng's mother patted Huang Qiuying's hand, "It's not easy for you all. I'm still strong, and I'll help you in any way I can."

Feng's mother didn't understand any big principles. She only knew that it was not easy for the two children to settle down in the city. It was very rare that they settled down in Beijing without relying on support from their family and also gave some money to the family every month.

Now the children need her help, so she has to do what she can to share some of the burden for them. She can do it later when she can no longer do it.

Huang Qiuying no longer said polite words. She kept in mind everything her mother-in-law did and would repay her in the future.

The couple each held a book, writing and taking notes, as if they were possessed, mumbling something to themselves.

Mother Feng prepared breakfast quietly, woke up the two children at the right time, and asked them to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

After dinner, those who went to school or work also left, leaving the old lady alone at home to wash and clean. Although it was hard work, it was worth it.

There are many people like Huang Qiuying and Feng Tang who are preparing to take the college entrance examination. In Shengli Brigade, a small village in the northeast, there is also a group of young people who are studying hard, wanting to go to higher institutions for further studies and move towards a broader world.

It snowed heavily this year, and it was a bit cold at the educated youth site. Dong Shuang's hands even got frostbite.

In recent years, the educated youths at the educated youth points have returned to the city one after another, and some have started families and got married locally. Now there are only four educated youths left at the female educated youth point.

Everyone is studying hard, hoping to make a splash.

"Dong Shuang, what did Chang Li say? Does she really not want to take the exam?"

"Yeah." Dong Shuang closed the book temporarily and sighed, "I really don't want to take the exam. She said she's married and will live with her husband and children in the future. She doesn't want to leave home again."

In fact, Chang Li’s choice is easy to understand. She was born in a family that favors boys over girls. Her parents and brothers all regard her as a burden. Chang Li’s illness would not have developed to such a serious extent. It was only because her family was reluctant to spend money that she was delayed.

She felt the affection, warmth and love in the Bao family, so it is natural that she does not want to leave.

"Although Bao Shengli is getting married for the second time, he has nothing to say about Chang Li." The woman surnamed Su was not satisfied and threw away such a good man. She deserved to be so miserable later.

"Everyone has his own destiny."

Dong Shuang opened the book again and put Chang Li's matter behind him. Everyone has his own choice, no matter which one it is, as long as he doesn't regret it.

This year's college entrance examination was the only one held in winter. The times of the college entrance examinations varied slightly from place to place. Although Jiang Yan believed that the examination questions were the easiest, for many candidates, this was the most difficult college entrance examination.

Ten years ago, they held hoes instead of pens, dealt with various crops such as wheat, rice, and corn, listened to the birds singing in the forest, ate wild fruits in the mountains, and smelled the scent of soil, but never read a book again.

Although they reviewed intensively, no one dared to say that they were completely confident.

During the days of the college entrance examination, Jiang Yan felt particularly lost. She always felt that something was missing as she had not taken part in the college entrance examination in this era.

But it doesn't matter. She is already a college student, and her job in the design institute is very rare. It is all training. When she produces her best graduation work, her name will definitely appear on the alumni wall.
