    The smart Yang Yi spent her high school happily. She was always the light of the family. She was the only high-achieving student in the village who was admitted to No. 1 Middle School in the county, and she was a girl.  She is the pride of the whole family, especially Yang Yu, who has always worshiped her sister like an idol.  In the eyes of everyone, this girl has a bright and beautiful future, and she is indeed excellent. The composition is always handwritten by the teacher on the blackboard and used to analyze and explain to the students. Although she has not yet  One tenth of Mr. Cao's, but she has confidence in her future, but this confidence is slowly fading in those difficult years.  The scenery in the eyes of others, but only she deeply knows what kind of dire straits she is living in.

    Because of Zhang Mingyue's delicate status as a young lady, even though she is married, she is not good at housework and other things. Fortunately, Yang Wenguang has mastered various survival skills in the polishing of life, which is why this family is maintained.  But Yang Wenguang was a man after all, so he couldn't pay attention to his daughter's life.

    The relentless winter swept across the northern lands, and the days of snow and wind kept changing the sky.  The students have already covered their bodies with cotton quilts prepared at home and put on warm winter clothes.  Only Yang Yi was still covered with the thin mattress, her body hurt all day from the hard bed, and she tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep.  The cotton padded clothes that my mother promised to make have been done since last winter and this year is still not finished. She can only wear the old coat worn by her eldest sister many years ago.  It is called a coat, but it is just another name for wearing a coat. It is so thin that you can touch the cotton inside, and because it has been worn for a long time, many places have different thicknesses. In some places, the cotton is curled up together, and in some places  Only a thin outer layer remained, and there were holes in some places.  In short, this is a warm cotton coat riddled with holes.  After all, Yang Yi is a girl, and this winter has been extremely cold. There have been several heavy snowfalls. Anyway, since the beginning of winter, the ice and snow have not completely melted.

    The icicles hanging from the balcony of the dormitory must be at least two long. Waking up early every day is a huge torture for Yang Yi. She has to shiver under the riddled clothes and grind her teeth from the cold.  But she was a girl after all, with a mortal body, and she even lacked a bit of masculinity, so she finally fell ill.  She has already started coughing all night, in the dormitory where 30 classmates live in one room, sometimes in order not to disturb the classmates, she will quietly put on her clothes and go outside to cough, and then quietly go back to the room after everyone falls asleep.  But this kindness of thinking for others undoubtedly aggravated her condition, so she could only temporarily take sick leave and go home.  Unexpectedly, the root cause of asthma fell from then on. For the whole three years of high school, she struggled with coughing half of the time.  In addition to the physical torture of illness, the mental weakness caused by physical pain also seriously affected her grades.  She failed the college entrance examination.

    "Don't read it. It's useless for a girl to read so many books. You still have to marry in the end. If you pass the exam, you are too far away from your father." Yang Wenguang didn't dare to look at Yang Yi when he said this, because he knew from the bottom of his heart  , this is a decision made for selfishness.  Yang Yi understands her father's wish. What he likes most is herself, and she hopes to keep her by her side for the elderly.  But Yang Yu was the opposite, nagging in his ear every day to repeat his studies.  Yang Yi also likes school, but her health is really too bad.  If this continues, there will be no difference except wasting another year.  Besides, my father is getting old, he is so kind to me, now he wants me to stay, can she really let him go and go away?  After struggling all summer, she decided to give up.

    Yang Yi who was at home suddenly didn't know what to do, so she went to learn tailoring from an old tailor in the village in order to make a living.  And Yang Wenguang has already entrusted the matchmaker to start matchmaking for his daughter.  Yes, in this ordinary land, their goals in life are to have enough food and clothing, to stay alive, to get married, to have children, and to raise children for old age.  Their goals in life are clear and simple, but they have to devote their whole lives to this simple goal, living in endless labor.  Girls are even more clear. In this era when the concept of men being superior to women is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, girls are born to marry.  All the girls' parents are raising their daughters with the mentality of "raising daughters for other people's families".  They are also taught the instincts of housework such as female workers and cooking from an early age. These skills can not only reduce the burden of heavy housework for the family before they get married, but also have "no harm to them" when they get married.  As long as their daughters marry and are said to be "good housekeepers", it is the honor of all girls' parents in their lives. If they can give birth to a son for their in-laws, it is a perfect representative.

    Yang Yi learns to cut with peace of mind, but her cough is not getting better, it will only be relieved in summer.  As soon as Liqiu started, she was going to struggle with it.  Yang Wenguang entrusted acquaintances in the village to introduce Yang Yi's partner, and the two met twice.  Although Yang Yi was not satisfied with this object, Yang Wenguang was very satisfied, and it was not far from home.  ride a bikeIf you don't have a car, you can go back to your mother's house in half an hour.  Yang Yi thought of her own cough, and she didn't have the mood to wait any longer, so she just got married like this.  At that time, with such a simple thought, she handed herself over to a man whom she had only met twice.

    Yang Yi's man is named Li Changqing, the son of Li Yongsheng in Qingxi Village.  There is a man named Li Fengman in Qingxi Village. Li Fengman is Li Changqing's good friend since he was a child. Li Fengman's father and Yang Wenguang's acquaintance are friends, so they got married.  Li Changqing is indeed a reliable and down-to-earth man. He came out to earn a living in his teens and supported his whole family.  He has the ability to endure hardship like an old scalper, and he is also very good to his wife.  Especially after the matchmaker said that Yang Yi was a high school student who graduated from No. 1 Middle School in the county, he felt even more like climbing a phoenix, trying hard to please his new wife.  The sweetness of the newlyweds made them soon usher in the crystallization of love. Although she was a girl, she was not very pleased with her mother-in-law.  But because he was the first child of the fifth generation of the old Li family, he still won Li Yongsheng's favor.  Li Changqing continued the sweetness of married life in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.  Although his life is extremely hard, he used to support his family, but now that he has his own small family, he works harder every day.  His clothes were washed with sweat every day when he went home, and Yang Yi felt very sorry for him for this reason.  However, as long as he sees his wife and children at home, Li Changqing is full of motivation to go to work every day.

    ? Yang Yi became a housewife at home, living an ordinary and peaceful life.  However, every time I go back to my natal home, I still feel a little bitter when I hear that my classmates have a new way out.  Some have relatives at home who went to school to be teachers, some went to medical school, and some are repeating their studies.  Among those top-notch people, only she is working as a housewife, and she, who has always been so strong, will inevitably feel resigned in her heart.

    "The insurance company is recruiting, and you can sign up after graduating from high school." When she saw this recruitment news on the small black and white TV of the neighbor's house that day, her heart was moved.  Not only did she graduate from high school, she graduated from the best high school in the county.  However, seeing the child in her arms, she was shaken.

    "What's wrong with you?" This is the first time Li Changqing has seen Yang Yi so unhappy since he got married. He has an indifferent face since he entered the house. Could it be that he was not at home and quarreled with his mother?

    "It's okay. I want to sleep." Yang Yi lay alone in the bed, leaving the child aside to play by herself.  Li Changqing wanted to say something of concern, but when the child cried, he had no choice but to comfort the child.

    In those ordinary days, they gave birth to their second and third children one after another, but unfortunately, the arrival of these two girls not only did not make Yang Yi's hard work understandable, but was even more disgusted by her mother-in-law because she could not give birth to a son.  Yang Yi, who is determined to be strong, is already preoccupied with giving birth to a son.  She no longer has the desire to compare with her classmates, but what is even more unfortunate is that the arrival of the children not only makes their lives more and more difficult.  What's more serious is that they will start to fight against the country's increasingly strict family planning.  However, in order to be respected by her mother-in-law and the villagers, she had to continue on the road of childbearing until she gave birth to a son, she decided so.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
