The Educated Youths Are Heading Back to the City!

More than 50% of the novel is already written, so read without worry. I absolutely won’t abandon it. Thanks, everyone!

As the middle child in her family, Lin Yiming has an older brother and sister, as well as a younger brother and sister. Her parents made arrangements for the older two early on, while the younger ones weren’t old enough yet. So when the campaign to send people to the countryside was in full swing, Lin Yiming was the only one of the five children sent down.

Yiming, Yiming. That was the name her grandfather gave her. Her father didn’t dote on her, and her mother didn’t love her. Only her grandfather favored her. When Lin Yiming was sent to the countryside, it made the old man furious. He raised hell at home, then pinched pennies and sent her money and ration coupons every month!

With her grandfather’s support, life in the countryside wasn’t too hard for Lin Yiming. But still, of the five children, she was the only one sent down. She was seething with resentment…

After the college entrance exams were reinstated and she returned to the city, Lin Yiming rubbed her hands together. Mom, Dad, big brother, big sister, little brother, little sister, I’m coming for you!!!

Song Jingren was the second child in his family. People say the eldest son and the youngest son are their parents’ favorites, leaving the second child stuck in the middle. His older brother spent money to get himself a job, while his younger brother took three years to finish his final year of high school.

In the end, it was Song Jingren, the middle child, who got sent to the countryside. Furious, he grumbled as he packed up half the things in the house and headed off.

When Grandma Song came home after visiting her daughter, she discovered that her precious grandson had been forced to go to the countryside. Enraged, she called a family meeting and took charge of everyone’s wages.

Her dear grandson was suffering! She had to send him money and ration coupons!

Even though life in the countryside wasn’t all that hard, Song Jingren still resented the fact that he alone, out of the family’s three sons, had been sent down.

Then the college entrance exams were reinstated! Song Jingren passed!

Mom, Dad, big brother, little brother, I’m coming for you!!!

Coming Soon: Taking Down the Comparison Target in a Period Novel

How had she let a few words from someone else lead her around by the nose? Go to the countryside?

How interesting. So the world she lives in is a book? Mao Anlan curls her lips. We’ll see who ends up being whose stepping-stone!
