Chapter 175: Opportunities Are for Those Who Are Prepared
Cai Meina has been incredibly busy lately, helping Cai Ming copy some materials.
As she was copying, Cai Meina suddenly stopped.
Gong Tao noticed his wife seemed off, could she be tired? "What’s wrong?"
Cai Meina looked at her husband’s concerned face, "Nothing, I was just thinking if we might have the opportunity to go to college."
Back then, Cai Meina had good grades, but her family wouldn’t support a daughter who would eventually belong to another family, so she graduated from junior high and went to work in a factory.
Her words stirred Gong Tao’s long-held dreams, making them gradually emerge. Alas, some things and thoughts don’t fade over time but become clearer.
"Let bygones be bygones. We can focus on the future, work hard to improve ourselves, so when our children go to high school, we can tutor them a bit."
"If they have the chance to go to university, we can send them off, and we can stroll around the campus."
The dreams their generation didn’t fulfill could be achieved by their children. "And we can see our grandchildren enter university."
Listening to Gong Tao’s plan, although it seemed distant, it was still an aim. "Good, we should start working hard now, so we can set a good example for the children."
Nights in the Northeast can be quite dull. Apart from resting after farm work, people either visit neighbors or stare into space.
Cai Meina wasn’t familiar with the village folks nor did she want to wander outside. Staying home, finding tasks to do felt better than chatting.
