Yang Yonghong didn't care about the telegram fee at this time. After she was admitted to Huaqing University, she spoke at home. The Yang family was not stupid. She had to discuss everything with Yang Yonghong, the capable eldest daughter.

The same is true of Yang Yonghong's brother's marriage. Writing to Yang Yonghong is not to force her to pay, but to clarify the situation at home and ask Yang Yonghong what to do about the marriage.

Yang Yonghong's brother is Yang Jie.

You can tell by the name how much the Yang family expects of him.

There are many cases of son preference in rural areas, but the Yang family is particularly different. Yang Yonghong has been top-notch since childhood. She has to go to Huaqing University for three years. Her brother was admitted to a junior college last year, which is not so excellent compared with her.

There are many children in the Yang family. In addition to Yang Yonghong and Yang Jie, there are three below.

The third is a freshman in senior high school, and the remaining two are younger. It is not easy for peasant families to ask their children to go to school.

Last year, when the scores came out, Yang Jie asked his eldest sister to go to college. He packed his bags and refused to go back to school. He went back to the countryside to help his parents do farm work. He said he didn't miss it and reading was boring. The Yang family knew that he was thinking about his sister's great future and must continue to study. His younger sister-in-law was too young to drop out of school. He was the eldest son in the family except Yang Yonghong and had to go back and carry the family.

No matter how Yang Yonghong advised, Yang Jie didn't go back to school even after he was killed. Yang's father hung Yang Jie up and smoked a meal. Yang Jie just refused to go back to school.

Yang Yonghong is very frugal in school. Scholarships are sent home. The Yang family is still very poor.

The family thinks they are sorry for Yang Jie and still want to keep the marriage for Yang Jie... The woman is Yang Jie's junior high school classmate. After graduating from junior high school, she went to technical secondary school and taught in the town after graduation. She has liked Yang Jie for several years.

But the teacher's salary was not high. The girl herself was willing to marry Yang Jie. The girl's family disagreed. She also expected the bride price of the second daughter to marry her son.

It is not only in northern Hebei Province, but also in many places.

It is not uncommon for rural families to ask their daughters to read so many books without using their daughters as straw.

But if you don't accept the bride price, how can your son get married!

The woman is a teacher. If she wants to marry Yang Jie, a unemployed rural youth, she can't let go of her previous feelings.

Yang Jie also likes girls.

If you like it, you can't give up the girl's embarrassment. You won't say any rhetoric to persuade the girl not to follow him. Yang Jie never thought about the trick of cooking cooked rice with raw rice!

But he doesn't want to embarrass his parents.

Yang Jie knows what conditions are at home. Although his sister saved the scholarship and sent it back to her home, she didn't even pay back the accounts she owed before. What his parents meant was to borrow money and buy four big things. Yang Jie didn't want to continue to be in debt at home. He thought about going out and looking for a job after the autumn harvest. He heard from a classmate who graduated from junior high school and became a truck driver that it was easy to make money in the south.

Yang Jie came to discuss with his partner today to see if the engagement can be delayed for a few months.

He smiled bitterly:

"Yang Jie, we can do our business at any time, but my brother's age can't wait."

When to get married is secondary.

The woman's family needs the bride price money from the Yang family to arrange her son's marriage.

Yang Jie's object is also under great pressure. She has worked for less than a year. The salary of the new teacher is not high. She hasn't married yet. All her salary has been given to her family and she has no savings.

"Otherwise, I'll ask the headmaster to advance half a year's salary, and you can take it back and put it in the bride price..."

Yang Jie's object is to consider for him. However, Yang Jie knows the situation of middle schools in the town. It's good not to default on wages. How can he advance wages!

The words of breaking up rolled in my throat several times, and I couldn't say it.

After graduating from teachers' College, Yang Jie refused a better marriage for his hometown. He can only say that he can think of another way.

Yang Yonghong's telegram arrived at this time.

Yang Yonghong said in the telegram that he asked Yang Jie to open a letter of introduction, buy tickets to Yangcheng, and the sister and brother will meet in Yangcheng.

"Sister and brother earn betrothal gifts together."

Yang Jie repeatedly read this sentence in Yang Yonghong's telegram, carefully put the telegram in his pocket and strode home - this is a family, regardless of each other. The eldest sister has to go to the south to do odd jobs for his marriage and summer vacation. He doesn't go to college and has nothing to regret. Men's strength is always stronger than women's. he stays in his hometown to farm land, which is better than his eldest sister Yang Yonghong.

Yang Jie went home and told the situation. The Yang family and his wife were relieved.

The eldest daughter has an idea.

"Tell your daughter that we'll take the bride price and let her wait."

Yang Jie nodded, "I told her that I wouldn't delay her until the national day when I haven't made the bride price money."

The couple of Yang family are very bitter.

Yang Jie said so, and they listened. I hope Yang Yonghong's idea is right and can really scrape up enough money for wedding betrothal gifts before the national day. At that time, they must not have enough money. They must not watch the marriage turn yellow. They should try their best to get together, borrow and sell blood... They don't think it's great. Most Chinese parents are like this. They can't marry a daughter-in-law for their son. It's their failure.

According to local customs, it is necessary to marry Yang Yonghong out in exchange for bride price money.

Yang Yonghong has great promise in the future. How can the Yang family treat her like this.

It's even more impossible to ask Yang Jie's sister to go. She's a 15-year-old girl, so she can only study in senior one!

Outsiders say that there are problems with the Yang family, and all the children in the family want to study. In particular, Yang Yonghong has repeated his studies for three years. If he hadn't finally been admitted to Huaqing University, the people around him would have laughed at the Yang family.

Now some people also complain that the Yang family are stupid. Their daughter is sent to college and their son goes home to farm.

Yang Jie's grades, after two years of repetition, will certainly be able to enter a serious University!

Fortunately, Yang Yonghong really worked hard and sent money home as a freshman, saying it was a scholarship. The Yang family can only hope on Yang Yonghong, a big girl for their son. Yang Jie wants to go out to work by himself. The Yang family and his wife are not at ease. Rural people have never been far away. They don't know what the outside world is like.

Yang Yonghong sent a telegram to ask Yang Jie to go out. The family had no opinion.

Yang Jie opened a letter of introduction, bought a train ticket, brought two clothes, left a letter for his object and left.

"Before I came back on national day, you married someone else. I don't blame you!"

Yang's family is poor. Yang Jie bought a station ticket and put some big cakes in his pocket. In this way, Yang Jie got on the train to Yangcheng.

Anyway, when he arrived in Yangcheng, he didn't even have 10 yuan. If he couldn't find his sister, it wasn't enough to buy a ticket back. It was a wreck.

Fortunately, his sister is reliable. Yang Jie asked his sister about the hostel according to the address on the telegram.

Tell the front desk of the hostel to find someone. After a while, two people come down upstairs. One is his sister, and the other is so beautiful that it's impolite to look at others.

His sister pointed to the beautiful girl and said:

"This is my classmate Xiaolan. You call me sister, too. You Xiaolan said, let you earn enough bride price money in two months! "
