Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 1414 Broken Engagement 63
In the county town, he had to hand over his monthly salary to his parents, leaving only five yuan for himself for food. He lived frugally every day and could only afford vegetarian food.

Sometimes, he would buy some extra food and couldn’t afford any vegetarian dishes by the end of the month, so he could only eat rice with the free vegetarian soup in the cafeteria.

Only by going to Shen's house for dinner can he have a good meal and replenish his body.

After going to the countryside, he was willing to work hard and could earn eight work points every day. On weekends, Zhang Erniu would take him to the beach to pick up seafood.

He kept some of the seafood he picked up for eating and dried the rest, which he secretly took to the black market to sell.

After two years, he had saved more than 150 yuan.

He worked in a food factory for a year, but was penniless and sometimes even had no food to eat. After two years in the countryside, he had enough to eat and could often enjoy seafood. He also saved a considerable sum of money, which made Guo Wenzhong reluctant to leave Xiangqian Village.

Before the resumption of the college entrance examination, Yuanchun gave him a set of high school textbooks so that he could review his knowledge when he had time.

After the college entrance examination was resumed, Wang Jianguo gave the educated youth a two-month vacation so that they could concentrate on their study.

Wang Jianguo has a daughter named Lotus, who is the apple of Wang Jianguo and Zhang Erya's eye. She just graduated from high school this year and also registered for the college entrance examination.

After Wang Hehua graduated, she stayed in the village for a few months and actually fell in love with Guo Wenzhong. She followed Guo Wenzhong around every day, caring about him and taking care of him.

If there was any food, he would secretly hide it and give it to Guo Wenzhong.

This deeply moved Guo Wenzhong, who had lacked love since childhood. He was gradually moved by He Hua's true love. The two of them fell in love in private. They took the college entrance examination together this time and were admitted to the same university.

Before going to college, Guo Wenzhong asked Zhang Erniu to propose to Wang Hehua on his behalf. Before reporting to school, the two got married with the blessings of the whole village.

Yuanchun and Shen Yuandong returned to attend their wedding banquet. The wedding gift Yuanchun and her husband gave to them was a pair of couple watches. Such a big gift shocked Wang Jianguo.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "I have always regarded Wenzhong as my younger brother. As his elder sister, I cannot be stingy when my younger brother gets married. Besides, they are about to go to college, and it will be much more convenient to have a watch to check the time."

Shen Yuandong and Taohua gave the two people two pieces of cloth, two pairs of leather shoes, and two brand new schoolbags.

This is also a big deal.

Zhang Erniu had taken care of Guo Wenzhong for two years and had long regarded the boy as her own godson. She made a pair of shoes with thousand-layer soles and a new set of clothes for each of them.

The fabric used to make the clothes was the same blue cloth that Yuanchun had bought for the Wang family that year.

Soon after their marriage, Guo Wenzhong, Hehua, Taohua and Shen Yuandong boarded the train to go to college.

The four of them applied to the same university and were admitted together.

On the day the four people left, everyone in Lao Wang's family went to the county railway station to see them off. Zhang Erya and Zhang Erniu prepared a lot of food for their daughter and son-in-law to take away.

Yuanchun bought a large bag of cakes, rice noodles, canned fruits, milk candies and other food for them, and secretly gave each of them a hundred yuan.

"Although the school will give you subsidies, it's not a bad thing to have a little extra money in your pocket for backup."

A few of them wanted to refuse, but then they heard Yuanchun say, "You guys take it. This is my advance investment. When you graduate and make money in the future, buy me some more delicious food to honor your elder sister."

Only then did they accept the money, as well as Yuanchun's kindness, and remember her kindness.
