FSC [QT] Chapter 74.3

Arc 4: Raising Babies In 60s (18)

This kind of attitude did not mean regional discrimination, but the fact that in this era, the proportion of educated rural girls was small, while urban girls were generally more educated. The changes brought about by whether or not one had received an education were very obvious.

Kuang Aijun’s young wife seemed like someone who was born in a good family and had received a lot of education.

This kind of demeanor could not be concealed even if she wore gray patched clothes and had her hair combed in the old-fashioned bun like ordinary women.

Xu Xuejun looked at Ye Wu a few more times and always felt that there were some discrepancies between this young woman and the report.

However, he believed in the army’s investigation and there was absolutely no problem with the identity of the person in front of him.

“Has Comrade Ye Wu ever been to school?”

Xu Xuejun asked in a deep voice.

“She went to primary school, but she didn’t continue. But my daughter-in-law is very smart. She ranked first every year in primary school.”

Third Grandma Xu answered for Ah Wu.

There were almost no girls in the countryside who had ever been to school.

The reason why Ye Wu was able to go to school was because she was the only girl of that generation in the Ye family, so she was highly regarded. However, graduating from primary school was already the limit for her.

The most important thing for a girl was to marry into a good family. And how many families would let their daughters continue their studies?

If they had the money, they would better give it to their sons.

“That’s great.”

Xu Xuejun nodded and said, “Comrade Kuang Aijun has two hungry children. His family situation is definitely the target of the army’s special assistance. Let’s do this. The army can provide Comrade Ye Wu with a job as a teacher in the commune primary school.”

“On the one hand, it will allow Comrade Ye Wu to have time to take care of the children, and on the other hand, it will also reduce Comrade Ye Wu’s burden of raising children.”

After these words came out, Third Grandma Xu almost cried with joy. She hurriedly shouted loudly that the army was good, the country was good, and the party organization was good.

The job of a primary school teacher in the commune was not much different from the iron rice bowl of a worker.

Third Grandma Xu was so excited that she felt that the army was the most humane place.

The most important thing was that her daughter-in-law had a stable job, so she didn’t have to worry about living on the land. In the future, she didn’t have to worry about the marriage of her grandchildren.

Ah Wu became even more confused.

In the original story, it was not until a few years later that Zhang Youdong transferred to Baihua County that ‘Ye Wu’ got a job as a temporary teacher in the commune primary school.

But now this job came a few years earlier, and it was offered by the army on its own initiative.

What was the reason for this?

Ah Wu had several guesses in her mind.

However, there were several other meanings in Xu Xuejun’s words just now.

For example, the main purpose of giving her this job was so that she could take better care of the two children.

Did it mean that if she didn’t take care of the two children with her and remarry, this job would no longer belong to her?

It was so hard to get a stable job these days, especially a job like a commune teacher where the work was easy but the salary was good. She was afraid that no one would be willing to give it up.

Ye Wu felt that the army didn’t want her to remarry, so they kept her with this job.

But, she quickly refuted this idea.

No matter how much the army controlled, could it control whether the military wives remarried?

Maybe it was just that Kuang Aijun performed well in the army, so the leaders above paid special attention to him.

Ah Wu stopped all her wild thoughts, took Third Grandma Xu, and followed the instructor out of the small room to discuss the issue of pension.

  2. Yatengarasu says:

    Hahaha because hubby is secretly alive, so the army is secretly making sure she doesn’t remarry. 😆
