Son of Heaven

Chapter 520 Two: Hope in Suffering

There are still three days before New Year's Eve. The streets and alleys are getting stronger and stronger. The faces of Chinese people who have been tired for a year are no longer so anxious and exhausted. The inexplicable anxiety and worry caused by impetuousness and urgency in the process of accelerating forward, temporarily put aside the expectation and fear of the future, and prepare for the New Year and the new year.

Probably everyone wants to have a harmonious new year. Surprisingly, these days, apart from the fact that the urban management’s campaign to catch peddlers is still booming, or some frivolous news about a wife beating a mistress in the street, there is still no major event happening in Jiangcheng , was completely peaceful.

No matter how big the sun is in winter, it is not warm, but sometimes it is not only the sun that warms the heart.

Two pickup trucks full of New Year's goods parked on Jingyang Street, the most remote place in University City. [

There are six main streets with three horizontal lines and three vertical lines, and more than a dozen side streets in the University Town, covering an area of ​​about 35 square kilometers. There are many schools and many students.However, in addition to 10,000+ students, there are nearly 40 aboriginal residents.In fact, this place originally belonged to the suburban countryside of Jiangcheng City. Later, the university relocated and concentrated construction. A town here was changed into a university town, and the scale was expanded to form the current university town.Except for the former workers of some old state-owned factories, the rest of the farmers are concentrated and transferred to urban household registration.However, although they have suddenly become urban residents, what followed was that the land that used to be farmers was taken back, and only limited compensation was given. It became difficult, and at most he could only rely on the university city to do some small business and support his family, and his life was tight.There is no way. The period of social transformation and reforms entering the deep-water area will first of all give birth to a group of poor people. If you want to achieve a smooth transition in the true sense, it is still unrealistic for such a large population and such a large country.This is also one of the so-called Chinese characteristics.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, there are still three days before the Chinese New Year. The streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, and everyone has a New Year's smile on their faces. However, Li Jinxi and Wu Baolian's family are sitting on the kang with only a little warmth. Worry about it.

Li Jinxi is not very old, only in his early forties, but his face is already full of vicissitudes of life. At first glance, he looks like he is 60 or [-] years old.

Wu Baolian also looks older than women of the same age, and her once black and shiny hair is now half gray.

The heavy days almost overwhelmed the two of them.

The couple were originally local farmers, but later they were transferred to urban household registration. The few acres of Susukida they depended on for their livelihood were confiscated. Then Li Jinxing went out to work and got into a car accident. Although he was cured, he got severe lung disease. Swollen disease, he accidentally contracted liver disease during blood transfusion, unable to do physical work all his life, and even got short of breath after walking a few steps, so he could only recuperate at home. Now the family can only rely on Wu Baolian to go to the rural greenhouses more than ten miles away every day to approve Vegetables, and then push them back to the market to sell, with meager income to make ends meet.Now there is a 16-year-old daughter in the family, who is in the first year of high school. She is in the middle school attached to the Normal University. The subsistence allowance, but for this impoverished family, it is just a drop in the bucket and does not help at all.
