Chapter 2138: Mentor

Ding Chunlan couldn't help laughing, and enviously said: "You must have been the treasure of the whole family when you were young, and many people doted on you."

"That's right, my parents, my three older brothers, and my grandparents, they love me very much, and my husband, we grew up together, and he also takes good care of me."

Tang Xiaonan was a little embarrassed. Speaking of it this way, she seemed to have lived in a honey pot when she was a child, and she was not under the pressure of studying, so she was much happier than the children now.

Ding Chunlan was even more envious, and sighed softly, "You are so happy."

"What about you? Do you have brothers and sisters at home?" Tang Xiaonan couldn't help asking after hearing her melancholy.

Ding Chunlan nodded and smiled wryly, "Yes, I am the eldest in the family, and I have two younger brothers. My hometown is in the countryside, and the family is very poor, and my place is very feudal, especially patriarchal, and women are more important than women. Grass is cheap, it is reasonable for a man to beat a woman, even the law can't control it."

"Where is your hometown? How did this happen? My family is also in the countryside, and there are patriarchal people, but not as serious as yours. Your parents shouldn't be patriarchal, right?"

Tang Xiaonan was very surprised. It's a new society now, but there is still such a stinky place. Women are not human anymore?

But she felt that Ding Chunlan's parents should be open-minded, otherwise, how could Ding Chunlan go abroad to study, at least in the ten years from elementary school to high school, must parents provide for it?

Ding Chunlan shook her head with a sarcastic expression, "They also favor sons over daughters. The two younger brothers are treasures, and I am worthless. You may be wondering why I can go to college, right? It is thanks to my high school teacher, who is my lifelong benefactor." , reborn parents."

Maybe it was because of her affinity with Tang Xiaonan, or maybe it was because of the resentment she had held in her heart for too long, Ding Chunlan talked about her experience, which she never said when she was abroad.

It turned out that Ding Chunlan's parents were very ignorant and didn't want to send Ding Chunlan to school at all. When she was fifteen years old, her parents wanted to marry her in exchange for a bride price, but Ding Chunlan fought to the death. In addition, her grades were particularly good, and the teacher also spoke well. , Finally won the opportunity to continue to go to school.

Ding Chunlan is just like Gu Zhiyan back then. She studies very hard, and she is more talented. She doesn't have enough food and clothing every day, and she has endless farm work. Her grades are still among the best, and she even skipped two grades. Fifteen I went to high school at the age of 10.

Her high school teacher admired her very much, helped her pay for her tuition, and asked her to eat at home to improve her food, taking special care of her.

"At that time, rations were limited. My teacher had three children at home, and the burden was heavy. I didn't have the nerve to go to his house for dinner, but he forced me to eat, and asked his wife to cook for me. My tuition and study fees The materials are all paid by the teacher, and I will never be able to repay his kindness in my life."

Ding Chunlan's eyes were moist. After she earned her first salary, she sent half of it to her teacher. She has been abroad for these years and has no chance to visit her teacher. However, she and her teacher have correspondence, sending money and things every year. constantly.

But the teacher refused to let her send it, saying that he had a retirement salary and was living a good life, and he didn't need her money. He only told her that she still had the motherland in her heart and remembered that she was from China.

"Actually, I could get a green card a long time ago, but I refused. The teacher told me to remember that I am a Chinese. I dare not forget his teaching. The longer I stay outside, the more I miss my motherland. I still come back. Right." Ding Chunlan said with a smile.
