Ding Chunlan couldn't help laughing and said enviously: "When you were a child, you must have been the treasure of the whole family, and many people spoiled you."

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

Tang Xiaonan felt a little embarrassed. To put it this way, she seemed to live in a honey pot when she was a child, and she did not have the pressure to study, so she was much happier than her current children.

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

"Where are you? Do you have any brothers and sisters at home?" Tang Xiaonan heard her melancholy and couldn't help asking.

Ding Chunlan nodded and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I am the eldest son of my family, and I have two younger brothers below. My hometown is from the countryside, my family is very poor, and I am very feudal, especially boyish, women are inferior to grass, and men are reasonable to beat women, and they cannot even control the law."

"Where is your hometown? Why is this happening? My family is also from the countryside, and there are people who prefer boys over girls, but it is not as serious as yours. Your parents should not prefer boys over girls, right?"

Tang Xiaonan was very surprised. Now it is a new society, and there is such a stinky place. Women are no longer humans?

But she felt that Ding Chunlan's parents should be open-minded, otherwise how could Ding Chunlan study abroad? At least in the past ten years from elementary school to high school, her parents will have to pay for her?

Ding Chunlan shook her head and looked mocking, "They also prefer boys over girls. Their two younger brothers are treasures, and I am Cao Jian. You may wonder why I can go to college, right? I have to thank my high school teacher, who is my lifelong benefactor and my parents reborn."

Perhaps it was because she had a crush on Tang Xiaonan, or perhaps because she had been holding back her resentment for too long, Ding Chunlan talked about her experience, and she never talked about these things abroad.

It turned out that Ding Chunlan's parents were very ignorant and did not want to support Ding Chunlan in school. When she was fifteen, her parents wanted to marry her and exchange her for the betrothal gift. However, Ding Chunlan fought to the death. In addition, her grades were particularly good, and the teacher also said good things, so she finally got the opportunity to continue to go to school.

Just like Gu Zhiyan back then, Ding Chunlan studied very hard, and she had a higher talent. She could not eat enough or wear warm every day, and she could not finish farm work. Her grades were still among the best, and she even skied two levels and went to high school at the age of fifteen.

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

"At that time, the food 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 teacher's wife to make delicious food for me. My tuition and study materials were all paid by the teacher. I will never pay his kindness in my life."

Ding Chunlan's eyes were wet. After earning her first salary, she sent half of her mentor. She has been abroad for many years and has no chance to visit the teacher, but she and the teacher have correspondence and send money and things, which are constantly coming every year.

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

"Actually, I could have obtained a green card, but I refused. The teacher said that I would remember that I am a Chinese, and I dare not forget his teachings. And the longer I spent time outside, the more I miss my motherland, so I might as well come back." Ding Chunlan said with a smile.
