The first sword coming ashore is to kill the person you want first.
Although this sentence is an Internet term of later generations, Tu Jiaojiao feels that it is really suitable to describe herself and her husband Yan Shu.
Yan Shu was an educated youth who was sent to her hometown in 1973. At that time, there was a famine in the village, and many people in the village starved to death. She saved Yan Shu without telling her family, using the life-saving food she had secretly hidden.
As for why she wanted to save him, Tu Jiaojiao was of course involved in the crime because she was impatient, courageous and righteous - but she was neither of those things.
She couldn't walk when she saw Yan Shu. His high nose, deep eyes, legs longer than her life, and his stubborn little eyes and melancholy temperament all fascinated her so much that she just wanted to take him into her pocket...
In order to marry him, she didn't mind that he had to live in a collapsing cowshed.
So when Yan Shu asked her how to repay her life-saving grace, Tu Jiaojiao did not hesitate: "Marry me. If you have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, remember to take me back."
Veins popped out on Yan Shu's forehead, but the food was in her hands and she had to compromise.
The two got married in a hurry, and the wedding room was the bullpen assigned to Yan Shu by the team. Tu Jiaojiao didn't dislike it at all.
After four years of marriage, Tu Jiaojiao failed to conceive a son and a half, and she was worried. However, Yan Shu ushered in a turning point in her fate - the college entrance examination resumed.
Yan Shu prepared hard for the exam and had to leave the household chores to Tu Jiaojiao, and solemnly promised that as long as he was admitted to college, he would take Tu Jiaojiao to the city.
He succeeded and became the first college student in their remote village to return to the city. He also kept his promise and brought Tu Jiaojiao back.
But on the second day after returning to the city, Yan Shu formally filed for divorce from her.
Tu Jiaojiao had a dream. She dreamed that a famine suddenly broke out in her hometown. She dreamed that she rescued an educated youth named Yan Shu and married him. However, this educated youth ate her food, drank her food, and brought her into the city, but suddenly he was about to divorce her.
Tu Jiaojiao: You heartless bastard, are you the only one who can read?
Then, in 1977, two golden phoenixes flew out of Wuli Village.
