Chapter 222: Overcoming all difficulties
Despite facing numerous obstacles, Su Ming and Xiao Xue's love became stronger. They met under the eaves of the courtyard and confided their feelings to each other. They proved with their actions that love is not bound by any external factors, and as long as there is love in the heart, all difficulties can be overcome.
However, the road of love is never smooth. Just as Su Ming and Xiaoxue's feelings were gradually heating up, a young man named Li Hua appeared in Xiaoxue's life. Li Hua was Xiaoxue's classmate, and his family was well-off and a well-known local business family. He launched a fierce pursuit of Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue's parents were inclined to let her accept Li Hua's pursuit, believing that this would bring her a better future.
Facing the pressure from family, society and love, Xiaoxue fell into a dilemma. She knew that she loved Su Ming, but she couldn't bear to disappoint her family's expectations. Su Ming, on the other hand, silently endured everything. He knew that he was not Xiaoxue's only choice, but he was willing to give everything for love.
In this courtyard full of love, hatred and vengeance, Su Ming and Xiao Xue's relationship has gone through various tests. Their love is like a tenacious grass, which still grows tenaciously despite the wind and rain. In this era full of the integration of tradition and modernity, how will they face the challenges of family, society and love? Where will their love go?
On a quiet evening, when the setting sun dyed the courtyard with a touch of orange-red afterglow, Xiaoxue's expression was a little melancholy. She stood alone in the yard, holding a book in her hand, but she was not in the mood to read. All she thought about was Su Ming, the brave and kind newspaper delivery boy.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the gate. Xiaoxue looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a plain appearance and simple clothes standing at the door, holding a stack of papers in his hand, looking a little hesitant.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiaoxue asked.
"Excuse me, is Su Ming here?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Who are you?" Xiaoxue asked with a little caution.
"I'm Jia Dongxu, Su Ming's fellow villager." The middle-aged man explained.
When Xiaoxue heard the word "fellow villager", her heart moved. She knew that Su Ming had always missed his hometown, and whenever he mentioned his fellow villager, he seemed particularly cordial.
"Su Ming is at home, please come in." Xiaoxue said politely, opening the gate and motioning the middle-aged man to enter.
Jia Dongxu entered the yard and saw Su Ming sorting books in the house, so he walked over immediately.
"Su Ming, I'm Jia Dongxu, your fellow villager." He said with a smile.
Su Ming raised his head, and when he saw Jia Dongxu, a happy expression appeared on his face. "Brother Jia, why are you here?" he asked.
"I'm here to convey a decision of the village." After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming took the paper and read it carefully. It said that the village had decided to send a new batch of Cultural Revolution students back to the village for reform and education, and Su Ming's name was included.
"What's going on?" Su Ming frowned, his heart full of confusion.
Jia Dongxu explained: "I heard that someone reported that you were involved in some reactionary organizations in college, so the township decided to call you back and reform you."
Su Ming felt sad when he heard this. He had never done anything illegal, but he was forced to leave the university and return to the countryside because of someone else's frame-up.
"Brother Jia, can you help me plead with the villagers?" Su Ming asked anxiously.
Jia Dongxu shook his head. "It's hard to say. I'm just a small employee and I don't have much say."
Su Ming was silent. He knew that this matter might not be so easy to resolve. He picked up a pen on the table and began to write a letter, preparing to write to the village to plead for mercy.
At this critical moment, Su Ming was conflicted and anxious. He didn't know what the future would be like, nor did he know how to face this sudden challenge. Xiaoxue was also implicated in all this, and her heart was filled with worry and anxiety about Su Ming.
As time went by, the lives of Su Ming and Xiao Xue became more and more difficult. Su Ming was forced to give up his dream of going to college and returned to the countryside for transformation, while Xiao Xue also had to go to another place to continue her studies due to family pressure.
In the labor reform team in the countryside, Su Ming lived a hard life. He had to work in the fields every day, and his sweat soaked his clothes, but he was still unwilling to give up hope for the future. Although his heart was full of longing for Xiaoxue and worry about the future, he still firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to get out of the predicament and welcome a better tomorrow.
However, fate's trick put Su Ming in an even more difficult situation. At a meeting in the township, he learned that the township had decided to cancel the development of the second phase of the project, which meant that the job opportunity he had originally hoped for also disappeared.
"How is this possible?" Su Ming's heart was filled with resentment and helplessness, "Then what else can we do?"
"This is a decision from above and there is nothing we can do about it," said a township leader with a wry smile.
Su Ming shook his head helplessly, his heart filled with disappointment. He thought that the development of the second phase of the project would be his chance to get back on his feet, and his hope to get out of the current situation, but now, all of this has turned into nothing.
On the way back to the labor reform team, Su Ming felt as heavy as if he was carrying a heavy mountain. He felt as if he had been abandoned by fate, and all his hopes and dreams became blurred. He didn't know what the future would be like, nor did he know how to face it all.
"Su Ming, what's wrong with you?" a teammate asked with concern.
"Nothing, I just feel a little lost." Su Ming said with a wry smile.
"Don't lose heart. Life will always have ups and downs. As long as we persist, there will be a turnaround," the teammates consoled.
Su Ming nodded. He knew that he couldn't give up. He had to persevere for his dream and for that deep love.
Back in the dormitory of the reform team, Su Ming picked up a book and started reading. Although he was in a heavy mood, he did not give up the pursuit of knowledge. He believed that only by constantly enriching himself could he be prepared for future opportunities.
In the reform team in the countryside, Su Ming was in a very heavy mood. He was confused and uneasy about the future, and felt helpless and helpless about his situation. However, just when he was in despair, a teammate named Yan Bugui reached out to him.
"Su Ming, you know, I heard that your girlfriend's name is Qin Huairu, is she studying in another place?" Yan Bugui asked with concern.
