Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 1393 The Sixties and Seventies
Because they lost their mother at a young age, Liu Cheng and Liu Yu were both precocious.

The two children were unaware that Liu Qiu was the one who secretly betrayed their mother. Liu Jianshe was afraid of Liu Qiu's methods and worried that his two children would offend her, so he didn't tell them that Liu Qiu was their "enemy." They had no ill feelings towards this adopted brother and would greet Liu Qiu when they met.

Liu Tong discovered that the two children's character was different from their biological parents; they were good children, so she would occasionally take care of them.

Liu Jianshe works alone to support his child, and the family lives a very frugal life.

Wanting to eat meat is a luxury.

Although Liu Tong will no longer have any involvement with Liu Jianshe, she will still take care of the two good kids.

He would send Liu Cheng and Liu Yu a pheasant or a wild rabbit every month.

Liu Cheng accepted the pheasant and sweetly thanked Liu Dong: "Thank you, brother."

Liu Tong: "You and Liu Yu share most of the chicken, and leave the chicken head, neck and butt to that person."

Liu Cheng: "Uh..."

However, she also knew that Liu Tong disliked Liu Jianshe, so she didn't say much.

Liu Cheng returned home, took out paper and pen, and began to write an article.

Bicycles don't have many parts; it might take several months to gather enough parts for one bicycle.

Therefore, renting bicycles cannot earn a living.

The money earned from the black market cannot be used openly; Liu Dong needs a legitimate source of income.

He chose to earn money by writing.

As long as one grasps the context of this era, most of Liu Tong's articles are adopted, given his writing style.

When the remittance slip arrived, everyone in the village saw it.

From then on, Liu Dong stopped working in the fields, and no one said anything about him.

The matchmaker regretted that Liu Dong was still too young to arrange a marriage for him.

Many families have high hopes for Ryu Dong.

Inspired by this, the educated youth also began to write articles.

Unfortunately, not everyone can write as well as Liu Tong.

Almost all the educated youth wrote articles, but most of them were rejected.

Only one manuscript by a man named Ning Guoli was selected.

I was selected four or five times out of ten.

But it also made him very happy.

With the royalties, Ning Guoli's life improved significantly.

The other educated youth were envious, but there was nothing they could do; their writing skills were simply not good enough.

Li Yang was the young man who chose one of three options back then. He saw that writing articles could earn money, and he realized that knowledge was not useless.

So Li Yang picked up his textbooks again and began reviewing his junior high and high school knowledge every day.

He only attended high school for one year before being sent to the countryside. Since the high school textbooks were not complete, he borrowed them from Liu Tong.

It was rare to see such a studious educated youth, so Liu not only lent Li Yang his high school textbooks, but also some supplementary teaching materials that he had collected.

Li Yang would ask Liu Tong for help whenever he didn't understand something, and the two became friends as a result.

Two more years have passed, and the college entrance examination has finally been reinstated.

When the news reached the village, the young people were overjoyed and flocked to the city to register.

They don't even consider whether they can pass the college entrance examination even if it is reinstated.
After registering, everyone thought of this problem.

So, the group started looking for textbooks and supplementary materials, determined to make the most of their time to review.

They approached Liu Tong to borrow the materials.

Liu Tong lent them the materials, and these people seized the time to study them late into the night.

That dedication was simply amazing...

In December, Liu Tong and the other educated youths went to take the exam.

The question was easy for Liu Dong, but difficult for others.

Many people cried after leaving the examination room.

They couldn't answer those questions! The waiting time wasn't too long; the results came out soon enough.

Liu Tong was careful to control his score, but his score of over 300 was still considered high here.

A little over a month later, Liu Dong received her university admission notice; it was from Beijing University.

Two other people from the village were admitted to university: Li Yang and another young man from the village.

Because Li Yang studied consistently, his grades were much better than those who crammed at the last minute, and he was also admitted to a university in Beijing.

The other young man was the captain's youngest son, who had just graduated from high school this year and was just in time for a good opportunity.

He was admitted to a junior college.

This is quite a big deal even in the countryside.

The brigade leader was overjoyed and hosted a grand banquet at his home, inviting the entire village to a meal.

The meat dishes served were purchased from Liu Dong.

Liu Tong and Li Yang traveled to the capital together.

Li Yang's home is in the city, not far from the train station.

Both of their train tickets were bought with the help of Li Yang's father.

Li Yang's father knew someone at the train station who helped him buy a sleeper ticket.

Along the way, Liu Dong and Li Yang arrived at their destination without suffering much hardship.

School days were easy, and four years passed in the blink of an eye before Liu Dong graduated.

When it came time for job assignments after graduation, he chose to return to his hometown, giving up the opportunity to work in Beijing to someone else.

Liu Dong returned to her hometown and worked in the education bureau.

Liu Jianshe approached Liu Tong and asked for his help so that Liu Cheng and Liu Yu could attend school in the city.

Liu Dong helped out because of her younger siblings.

Liu Cheng and Liu Yu were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School of the city.

Their grades were already good, and with better teachers and education, they have improved even further and are expected to get into university.

The two lived at school, and even on weekends, they rarely returned to the village because of their studies.

Actually, this was done intentionally by Liu Jianshe.

Yang Chunhua and Liu Hongyan have both returned.

Liu Jianshe didn't want Liu Cheng and Liu Yu to have contact with those two women and be influenced by them, which is why he sent the two children to school.

Apart from Liu Dong and Liu Jianshe, no one else knew that the two children were studying at the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

The first thing Yang Chunhua did after returning was to go to the villa to retrieve the items from the secret room.

However, it was empty inside; there was nothing there.

Yang Chunhua was devastated and lost all her energy.

Liu Hongyan pressed on, asking, "Where's the money? Did you withdraw it?"

"It's gone, everything is gone."

"Gone? How could that be? Did you tell Yang Jianshe about the secret room? Did he take all the money?"

“No, I didn’t tell him,” Yang Chunhua said. “Besides me, there were actually two other members of the Yang family. They might have taken it.”

"Who? Which two?" Liu Hongyan pressed.

Yang Chunhua: "One is my uncle, and the other is my third sister. But I haven't seen them for more than 30 years, and I don't know where they went."

Liu Hongyan was furious.

The life of wealth and luxury was right before my eyes, but little did I know it was all an illusion.

How are they supposed to live now?

Yang Chunhua decided to go find Liu Jianshe and get back together with him.

But Liu Jianshe was so badly wronged by Yang Chunhua that he stopped looking for a wife afterward, so how could he possibly get back together with Yang Chunhua?

Liu Jianshe drove Yang and her daughter away.

The mother and daughter had no choice but to find another sucker.
