How to Thrive in the ’60s

Rebirth 60 Good Times Text Volume Chapter 252 Mindset Change Yun Shang observed Yun Shuilian's face while talking, saw her nod with a cold face, and continued:

"Then Comrade Zhang Shouyi knelt down to my grandma. It seemed that his father had a problem with our family and didn't want to marry our family. Comrade Zhang Shouyi had no choice but to propose marriage by himself. Later I heard from my grandma that you found a job in Fenyang. Comrade Zhang Shouyi just went back."

Yun Shuilian lowered her eyes, covering the thoughts in her eyes.

When she heard the news of Zhang Shouyi's failed marriage proposal from Yunshang, she felt that she should be sad, but the strange thing was that at this moment, her heart was peaceful, without any sadness.

Yun Shuilian didn't know what was wrong with her. She was obviously not a fickle person, but in just a few days, why did she lose her previous vision and expectation for marrying Zhang Shouyi?

Even recalling the scene where she felt sad because of Zhang Shouyi's remorse, she felt that it was too far away and strange.

Yun Chang lay on Yun Shuilian's shoulder, seeing her silent and her eyes full of bewilderment, she couldn't help but secretly sighed:

"Auntie, Comrade Zhang Shouyi asked me a question before going back. He said, if he finds a way to transfer to Fenyang, can you still date him?"

Seeing Yun Shuilian's dazed expression, Yun Shang continued to ask, "Gu, what are you thinking? If Comrade Zhang Shouyi really came to Fenyang, would you still want to have sex with him?"

Yun Shuilian was stupefied again, and after a long time, she slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know..." It seems...it's okay to continue dating, and she doesn't feel so sad anymore.

Yun Chang nodded, not surprised that Yun Shuilian would say that.

From Yunshang's point of view, Yun Shuilian had never loved Zhang Shouyi at all, and even if she had a crush on Zhang Shouyi during the blind date, it was because Yun Shuilian judged Zhang Shouyi by the conditions of her future husband.

Zhang Shouyi looks handsome, has an urban hukou, and is an official employee of the Water Conservancy Bureau. For Yun Shuilian, who was a rural hukou and had no job at the time, it was a good marriage that could not be faulted in every way. For the marriage, Yun Shuilian has no reason not to agree.

With this foundation, Yun Shuilian will follow the wishes of the two elders and Zhang Shouyi, step by step to get engaged, buy furniture, and perform the normal procedures that should be followed before marriage.

However, bad things happened on the day of engagement and the day of buying furniture.

Li Hongmei made a big fuss about the two's engagement banquet, which made Yun Shuilian inevitably feel inferior when facing Zhang Shouyi, and worried that the old Zhang's family would look down on her because of this matter.

And when she went to the county to buy furniture, Yang Jiao's appearance made Yun Shuilian realize that her status as a village girl could not bring Zhang Shouyi any help, and would even hinder Zhang Shouyi's progress after marriage.

Zhang Shouyi liked her now because she rejected Yang Jiao, but ten or twenty years later, would Zhang Shouyi regret not choosing Yang Jiao and turning from a worker to a cadre earlier?

Yun Shuilian is kind and honest, but it doesn't mean she is stupid. She must have secretly thought about these practical issues many times in her heart.

When Zhang Shouyi regretted her marriage, Yun Shuilian was sad, not only because she lost Zhang Shouyi, but more because of her unwillingness, anger, guilt, and confusion and fear of the future after being regretted her marriage.

Yun Shuilian knew in her heart that if she hadn't expected to marry someone from the city, Lao Yun's family wouldn't have become a joke in villages and villages because of her, and she wouldn't have been burdened by Kefu and wanted to gain a high reputation.

What made her even more desperate was that she couldn't escape from Xinglin Village, so she could only be passively trapped in that small world, letting the people around her point and watch the jokes between her and Lao Yun's family.

Yun Shuilian went to high school and is recognized as a cultural person in ten miles and eight villages. Once she fell to the bottom of the valley, she went from an existence that everyone envied to a broom star that everyone avoided. This kind of gap is far from Yun Shuilian who just left school. affordable.

After Zhang Shouyi repented of his marriage, the reason why Yun Shuilian still had expectations for him was because she knew in her heart that only by Zhang Shouyi proposing marriage again would she be able to wash away the stigma brought about by the remorse, and the entire Old Yun family would no longer be gossiped about. .

It can be said that in the relationship between Zhang Shouyi and Yun Shuilian, Yun Shuilian has always been on the weak side. She is attached to Zhang Shouyi, both psychologically and externally.

After Yunshuilian jumped out of the barren Xinglin Village and took root in Fenyang, the circle she came into contact with was also different from before.

She no longer spends her days idling in a small village listening to gossip. She has a job and a new goal. Her life is more exciting than before, and her mind has become more and more open-minded.

Of course, she herself has undergone earth-shaking changes from the inside out.

She is no longer a submissive village girl, but an independent and confident new-age woman.

When Zhang Shouyi was mentioned again, Yun Shuilian would treat him with an equal attitude, and at the same time, she would also find that her affection for Zhang Shouyi was as fragile as a piece of paper, which could be torn if poked, and could never be recovered.

She would regret and feel relieved that Zhang Shouyi brought her not that good memory, but she would never miss it.

And now that she is accompanied by her family, and no one around her is gossiping about her, and her work is going well, she will naturally not be so enthusiastic about finding a partner.

The most important thing is that Yun Shuilian's mentality has matured day by day. She will feel that relying on her own efforts to wash away the stigma on her body, work hard, and make Lao Yun's family proud of her by working hard, is far better than marrying Zhang Shouyi. Attaching to Zhang Shouyi is more meaningful and reliable.

It can be said that the relationship between the two officially ended after Yunshuilian took root in Fenyang and completely changed her mentality.

Of course, if Zhang Shouyi could really be transferred to Fenyang and pursue Yunshuilian again, there might be a glimmer of hope for the two of them.

……………

As soon as the two entered the gate of the Women's Federation, a young woman with a child rushed in from outside. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt in front of Yun Shuilian and shouted for the sky, asking Yun Shuilian to make decisions for her:

"I know you are a comrade of the Women's Federation! You have to make the decision for me. If you don't care about me anymore, I won't be able to survive. I can only jump into the river with my two children in my arms!"

Yun Shuilian seemed to be used to it, stepped back a few steps and put Yun Chang aside, and then went to pull the woman up.

"Comrade, what are you talking about? Let's get up and talk slowly. Don't worry, no matter what difficult things you encounter, our Women's Federation will definitely not stand idly by..."

"Puchi!"

Before Yun Shuilian finished speaking, there was a sneer from upstairs, and then a square-faced girl with braids and a cadre outfit came down from the second floor.

"Comrade, you come to the Women's Federation to solve the problem, read the words on the door, find the right person and then file a complaint, don't just cry when you pull someone, if you pull the wrong person, isn't your head in vain?"
