Chapter 431 Grandpa Shen Guanchao
Shen Guanchao went to the countryside in ’69, when he was only 22, and returned to the city in ’77. He spent a full eight years in the countryside.
He initially thought he would spend his entire life in the countryside, with no hope of returning to the city. So he got married and had children, but fate played its tricks, and with a change in tide, he was given the chance to return to the city.
He was a cultured person, educated and knowledgeable, and he felt that his life should not be wasted in the countryside, living a life of scratching food from the dirt, without two bags of grain a year.
So he resolutely chose to divorce his wife.
After returning to the city, he joined a government department and worked until his retirement.
During this time, he remarried to someone also working in the government department.
And he had two more sons and a daughter.
He didn’t hide the fact that he had been married before from his wife, but at that time, it was quite common, and the thoughts in Shanghai were relatively more open-minded. Even in those days, divorce didn’t seem to be a big deal.
Shen Jianjun even lived with them for a while back then, how they got along during this time is unknown to outsiders, but in the end, Shen Jianjun chose to leave the big city of Shanghai to return to Bin Hai, back to the countryside to be with his mother.
"I think he definitely came back because he was upset," Shen Siyuan said to Ruan Hongzhuang.
"How can you say that about your dad?" Ruan Hongzhuang playfully scolded him with a slap.
