The Comfortable Daily Routine of Recruiting a Son-In-Law in the 1980S

When Hu Qing woke up, she changed from a PhD in materials science in 1985 to a textile factory technician in 1982. Her fiancé came to break off the engagement on the grounds that she was "too determined to have children." My mother's eyes were red from crying, and my brother was so angry that he clenched his fists. Hu Qing did not cry or make a fuss. She took out her account book and calculated the betrothal gift one by one, and also added an additional 700 yuan in "youth loss expenses" - modern people's account, people in the 1980s could not understand the calculation. On the night she broke off the engagement, she posted a notice to recruit a son-in-law: Don't judge a hero by the gift, only his character and sincerity. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, men from all over the city flocked to the scene, and weird things appeared one after another. But the deputy director of the factory office, who always stood aside from the crowd and watched with cold eyes, quietly put away her torn notice. Later people learned that Hu Qing, who "couldn't get married" back then, later became a famous female entrepreneur in the province. And the "son-in-law" she recruited was originally from Beijing. ——The times are moving forward, and smart women choose their own partners.
