Chapter 1

Zhongzhou City, China, on the eighth day of June, 1975

In June, summer has basically entered all areas of China. The sun in Zhongzhou City today is extremely hot, the leaves are curled by the sun, and the singing on the trees is faint.

The family of Lin Dajun, an eighth-grade fitter at the Zhongzhou City Auto Parts Factory, has an electric fan on at home, but it can't blow away the irritability and anger in the Lin family's hearts.

"Biqing, what are you going to do?"

Lin Dajun, the head of the family, asked while sitting on the sofa in his living room and looking at the little girl standing in the center of the living room.

Lin Biqing wrinkled her delicate brows, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Do I have a choice?"

Lin Dajun raised his eyes and looked at the little girl with sharp eyes, "Are you blaming me?"

Lin Biqing shook her head, "No, I'm just stating the facts."

Wu Meijuan quickly spoke for her daughter, "Old man, Xiaoqing is a filial piety. You can't listen to someone's instigation and misunderstand your child."

After saying this, she squinted at her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Yanqiu.

Chen Yanqiu's face darkened and she began to cry out, "Mom, I went to work at around seven in the morning. I came back at noon to have dinner, then took a short break and then went to the factory. I just entered the house and I didn't have a chance to finish the whole day. Talk to dad alone."

Wu Meijuan glared at her, "When did I say it was you? What are you talking about? Do you have a guilty conscience?"

Chen Yanqiu muttered unconvinced: "That's not what you were talking about just now. Why were you looking at me without looking at anyone?"

Wu Meijuan glanced at her and said, "You have gold on your face, can't you see it?"

Chen Yanqiu: "Then you're still staring at me. It's hard for me not to misunderstand you."

Lin Dajun and Wu Meijuan both had dark faces. Lin Chongwu, the eldest son of the Lin family, quickly scolded her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

Then he smiled flatteringly at his parents and said, "Mom and dad, don't be angry. Although Yanqiu has no brains, she really doesn't have any bad intentions."

Chen Yanqiu became angry when she saw her sister-in-law gloating about her misfortune. She glared at her husband and said unconvinced: "Lin Chongwu, who do you think is brainless?"

"If you make any more noise, get out of here."

Lin Dajun slammed the table and shouted loudly.

Chen Yanqiu shrank her neck and did not dare to say a word, while her sister-in-law Wang Xianghong also quickly frowned and became honest.

Lin Dajun then picked up the enamel water cup next to him and took a sip of the fire-reducing sophora rice tea. Then he glanced sharply at the two sons and two daughters-in-law in the room. Seeing that these four people lowered their heads when he saw them, he finally He fixed his gaze on the pretty little girl and asked, "Xiao Qing, this is your own business. What do you think?"

Lin Biqing's eyelashes trembled and she asked, "What if I want to say that I want to stay in the city and work?"

Lin Dajun sighed, "No way, you can only choose between going to the countryside or getting married."

Lin Biqing's face darkened, she bit her lip, lowered her head and remained silent, expressing her resistance with silence. When Lin Dajun saw this, he was about to get angry again. Wu Meijuan quickly tugged his arm, got up from the sofa, and walked to the little girl. He stretched out his arms, put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and hugged her, comforting her: "Xiaoqing, don't be sad, mom won't let you go to the countryside."
