Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

When Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan said these words, Wang Xiaohua happened to not be at home.

He had gone to the county town to find Li Jianjia, and it was estimated he wouldn't return until at least evening, and might not even come back tonight.

If he heard his parents arranging things for him like this, he estimated he'd cry and laugh at the same time.

In the blink of an eye it was evening, and Wang Xiaohua still hadn't returned.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan didn't call to ask Wang Xiaohua's opinion either.

They just caught a rooster, brought some fruit, and went to visit Li Yuncui's home.

"Uncle Zhanggen, Auntie Xiulan, you're here?"

Li Yuncui, sitting at the courtyard door, immediately stood up to welcome them upon seeing Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan.

"Yuncui, where are your parents?"

Wang Zhanggen wore the simple, honest smile of an old farmer on his old face.

"They're inside!"

Li Yuncui felt somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan meant.

After all, they weren't very closely related; in previous years during the Spring Festival, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan had never come to visit them, at most just dropping by to chat a few sentences.

"Uncle Zhanggen, Auntie Xiulan, what do you want with my parents?"

Li Yuncui asked, puzzled.

"There's a good thing we need to discuss with your parents!"

Wang Zhanggen said with a smile.

Li Xiulan also chimed in:

"Right, a good thing, a huge good thing!"

Li Yuncui was completely baffled; right now she was worried in her heart, after all her belly was getting bigger and bigger, she had no time to care about other people's good things.

"Then go in and chat with my parents!"

At this time, inside the simple living room.

Li Yuncui's father Li Zhenxing and mother Luo Jiaxin were both frowning with worry.

Their own daughter having a premarital pregnancy was already a very shameful thing.

Who would raise the child in the future was also a thorny problem.

"It's all your fault; you spoiled the daughter from childhood to adulthood, which made her become this ghostly appearance now!"

Li Zhenxing coldly blamed Luo Jiaxin.

Luo Jiaxin indeed spoiled Li Yuncui very much; from childhood to adulthood, she had clothes handed to her and food brought to her mouth. Their family situation actually wasn't very wealthy, they just barely managed to buy a second-hand small house in the county town, but they never let Li Yuncui suffer any hardship; any request Li Yuncui made, they would do their best to satisfy.

"How can this be blamed on me? Who said back then, 'raise sons poorly, raise daughters richly'? We only have this one daughter, didn't you also spoil her?"

Luo Jiaxin coldly retorted.

Now that their daughter had caused such a big thing, it was estimated it would be very difficult for her to marry again in the future.

And Li Yuncui was just an uneducated spiritual young girl; not only was she bad at studying, but she also had no skill at all. Besides working in a factory, they really couldn't see any other way out.

But with her proud temperament, how could she possibly go work in a factory?

Factory work was bitter and tiring; it wasn't something a pampered woman like Li Yuncui could do.

"Back then I said letting her study at Shanggou Village Primary School would be fine, but you insisted on taking her to County Primary School to study. If she had stayed at Shanggou Village Primary School to study, who knows, she might have been like Wang Xiaohua, getting into a good university. How could it have come to this?"

Li Zhenxing smoked with his head down.

Luo Jiaxin coldly said:

"How can this be blamed only on me? Back then transferring schools was to better take care of Yuncui, and you also agreed. You even said the educational resources in the county town were better than Shanggou Village's, and more favorable for the daughter's learning!"

Now ending up with such a result was obviously something neither Li Zhenxing nor Luo Jiaxin wanted to see.

They blamed each other, complained at each other.

One could only say, life was just like this.

The result was often more important than imagined.

If back then after they transferred Li Yuncun to study in the county town they could have obtained a good result, then now they wouldn't have quarrels.

Who could have thought that the daughter they spoiled so much, who was originally cute in primary school, would start becoming rebellious once she reached junior high school?

It was precisely because of Li Yuncui's rebelliousness during junior high school, hanging out with classmates who didn't study, being led astray a bit, that the path afterward went wrong step by step.

Actually when Li Yuncui first transferred to County Primary School, her grades, though not the best in the class, could still steadily stay in the top ten of the class.

It was just that during junior high school, because of rebellious emotions she slackened a bit, and as parents Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin failed to correct her in time, which led to her grades plummeting, then followed by the emergence of aversion to studying, and afterward Li Yuncui completely gave up studying, completely let herself go.

"Alright, don't say these anymore. We need to hurry and find a man for Yuncui; otherwise, when we get old in the future, who will take care of her?"

Li Zhenxing took a big drag on his cigarette with his head down.

Ever since he learned his own daughter had a premarital pregnancy, the amount he smoked had doubled compared to usual.

"Don't smoke anymore; your daughter is pregnant and you're still smoking!"

Luo Jiaxin coldly blamed.

Li Zhenxing didn't speak.

His daughter had gotten into this mess; how could he not smoke? It worried him to death!

Just at this time, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan walked in.

"Zhenxing ge, Jiaxin sister-in-law, happy New Year!"

Wang Changgen hurriedly offered greetings.

"Changgen, Xiulan, happy New Year!"

Seeing Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan visiting, Li Zhenxing hurriedly stood up.

He also instructed Luo Jiaxin:

"Hurry and brew tea!"

Although Luo Jiaxin was very impatient in her heart, since guests had arrived, she still had to go greet them.

So she stood up to brew tea.

Li Zhenxing hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Wang Changgen.

Wang Changgen tactfully declined: "I have my own, no need, no need……"

Li Zhenxing smiled and forced it on him:

"Don't be polite, I bought these in the city, I don't know if you've smoked them before!"

Wang Changgen took the cigarette, then said to Li Zhenxing:

"We brought some things, a small token, please accept them!"

Wang Changgen gestured to Li Xiulan to bring up the rooster and fruit they had brought.

Li Xiulan hurriedly brought the things up.

Li Zhenxing hurriedly said:

"Just come, why bring things? We're all fellow villagers, so close, no need to be so polite!"

Though he said this.

But actually, Wang Changgen's and Li Zhenxing's two families were not very close.

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin worked away all year round and were rarely in Shanggou Village.

While Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan had always lived in Shanggou Village.

The two families actually had little interaction.

Even in previous years during holidays, they rarely visited each other.

When Luo Jiaxin had finished brewing a pot of tea and came over to pour tea for Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, seeing that they had brought gifts, she also showed a smile on her face and became much more polite.

"Changgen, stay for dinner tonight, I'll go cook in a bit!"

"No need, no need, we'll just go back home!" Li Xiulan politely refused.

But Wang Changgen scolded Li Xiulan:

"Cook what when you go back? What you cook isn't tasty at all, just eat here tonight! It's rare that Zhenxing ge and Jiaxin sister-in-law are so enthusiastic in hosting us!"

"By the way, where's Xiao Hua? Isn't he back in the village? Why don't I see him? Why not call him over to eat together!"

Li Zhenxing asked this at this time.

Wang Changgen then said:

"That brat went to the county town to play, no need to mind him, his second brother is in the county town, I guess he's eating at his second brother's place."

"Oh oh, is that so? Thinking back, Xiao Hua and Yun Cui were deskmates, and their grades were first place and second place, now in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed." Li Zhenxing sighed, "Now your Xiao Hua has tested into Tsinghua University, while my Yun Cui didn't even get into junior college, sigh, it's really fate!"
