"His father, look, why is there a noise?"
After dinner, there is no entertainment. Rural people wash their faces and go to bed early.
This period of time has just passed the busy harvest period, and farmers with high-intensity labor also need to take a good rest. Yang Yonghong's parents also go to bed early. They want money for electricity. If they can't turn on the light, they don't turn on the light... Yang Yonghong's family is especially poor, but her family doesn't even have electricity.
Before, Yang Yonghong took the money home and told his parents that Yang Jie could make money in Pengcheng or connect the electricity at home. Yang's father went to the power supply station and asked them to line up slowly.
Yang's mother lights up the kerosene lamp, and Yang's father goes out with the lamp and clothes.
A white car stopped at the door of his house, and Yang's father was startled.
Yang Yonghong carried the box. "Dad, you slept so early today. My classmate came to Hebei and sent me back. This is my classmate Xiaolan!"
Xia Xiaolan called her uncle with a smile. Yang's father's hands were shaking with kerosene lamps.
Why did Yonghong take her classmates home without saying hello?
"Go in and enter the house first."
The students who got back were not ordinary students. They couldn't find a few cars running on the streets in the county. How rich are the students who came directly in cars.
Xiaolan?
Isn't Xiaolan the female classmate who introduced Yonghong and Ajie to work in the special zone?
The Yangs didn't know what to say when they saw Xia Xiaolan.
The kindness to the Yang family is too great. Without Xia Xiaolan's timely help, the Yang family would either sell blood to the whole family or leave a lifelong regret for Yang Jie. Yang's mother is tearful. She wants to cry in front of Xia Xiaolan for fear of being disliked by Xia Xiaolan. She is really grateful. She turns over and over with gratitude.
"Aunt, don't do this. I also want to thank the boss for helping my uncle. The boss has good grades in school. She has great skills!"
I knew she had put Yang Yonghong at the entrance of the village and went back to the county to stay in the hostel.
When I arrived at the Yang family in the evening, I disturbed the Yang family.
If Yang Yonghong hadn't held her father down, her father would go to the yard to catch chickens and kill them at night.
Xia Xiaolan was sweating anxiously: "I had dinner on the road. I really don't need it!"
"Come on, how can Xiaolan live at home again? She only stays for one night. She has great kindness to our family. I remember it all! "
Yang Yonghong said it several times before stopping her parents' reaction to the transition.
Xia Xiaolan pretended to yawn. "Uncle and aunt, let's have a rest early. Don't bother."
Yang's mother finally had something to do. She hurried to make the bed and gave out her new quilt. In the evening, Xia Xiaolan and Yang Yonghong slept in a bed. Yang Yonghong shook her new quilt and smiled: "this quilt is for my marriage. Our village is poor. Most people marry their daughters with a quilt. As a result, the quilt has been made for several years, but I haven't married yet!"
Xia Xiaolan wondered, "that's good. Why do you make the quilt in advance?"
It's no use pressing the new quilt in the box at ordinary times. In fact, there is a tide. Fortunately, Yang Yonghong's bed is old, but it's very clean. Xia Xiaolan herself has slept in a straw bed, so there's nothing to dislike.
It's dark. Yang Yonghong's expression is invisible and her voice can't stand the waves:
"I didn't do it early. You know the conditions of my family. I should have married long ago. When I went back to school in the first year, my mother was seriously ill and my family was in urgent need of money. There was a family in our town. They said I would marry his son and give money to tide over the difficulties in my family. At that time, I was under great pressure. Others said that it was no use for girls to read so many books and scolded me for being unfilial. I couldn't bear to see my mother sick, so I packed up my things and went home. Both families agreed on their marriage and made me this quilt as a dowry. Almost, I got married. "
Xia Xiaolan sighed, "but you finally repented."
"Yes, I repented, especially shameless. I took money from others and cured my mother, but I refused to marry. The school teacher came to my house several times and said, "I can definitely pass the exam after a year of repetition. I'm not reconciled myself."
Finally, her father hunched over and went to the engaged family in a low voice, saying that he was stubborn but Yang Yonghong, or he would book the third younger sister of the Yang family to his son.
"That family was really kind. My three younger sisters were only 13 years old at that time. They didn't look up to each other, so they asked my father to write an IOU. Even if the bride price money was lent to our family, don't mention the marriage."
The money was not fully paid off until this year, so Yang Jie's married family couldn't take out the extra money.
This kind of thing doesn't just happen to Yang Yonghong. Yang Yonghong's thing is just a microcosm of the times. If you want to change your destiny, rural children should be paid more by young people in the city.
It's not easy for the whole family to support a college student. It's really not easy for the Yang family to let all five children go to school.
The topic is heavy, and Xia Xiaolan doesn't know what to say.
She can help Yang Yonghong, but looking at the whole country, there are thousands of people like Yang Yonghong's family.
Yang Yonghong worked hard. She proved to those people that she could not only enter the University, but also the best university.
What about the others that give up halfway?
I didn't even get a chance to meet Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan always felt that her heart was hard. Even she was confused at this time. She can change her life and earn wealth for herself, but how can the environment change?
"Go to bed, wake up, tomorrow is a new day. The days that make you difficult and struggling have passed. Whether you or the rest of your family, the days will always be better and better!"
Xia Xiaolan thought she had to think about it.
Du Zhaohui donated millions to the University at once, which she doesn't have now.
But can she do anything other than donate books to the school?
She can't help everyone. If she can help one, it may be just a little money for her, and it will change her fate for others.
Xia Xiaolan has to think about it carefully.
The next morning, she still didn't stop Yang Yonghong's parents from killing chickens. Anyway, when she and Yang Yonghong woke up, the smell of chicken soup floated all over the yard. There were two big chicken legs in Xia Xiaolan's bowl.
The dead chicken can't die in vain. To let the old hen of the Yang family die properly, Xia Xiaolan chewed the two chicken legs clean.
"Uncle and aunt, I'll pick up Yonghong tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality!"
When Xia Xiaolan drove away, the whole village was watching.
It's said that it's Yang Yonghong's classmate. Many people are thinking about it. If only it were a male classmate, the Yang family won't worry about anything.
However, Yang Yonghong is really capable. Huaqing university is not in vain. I heard that he took Yang Jie out for two months, so he collected enough bride price money from the woman's family. Yang Yonghong came together with an uncle of his own family:
"Tell Uncle, is it really easy to earn money in the south? There is money everywhere?"
Yang Yonghong cried and laughed, "uncle, how can you pick up money everywhere? It's best to have a diploma. If you don't have a diploma, you have to have skills. Yang Jie is also doing chores on the construction site of his classmate's uncle. I also want him to come back and go back to college."
After all, you still have to read?
Middle aged men have deep gullies in their eyebrows. The children of the Yang family are an example. Even Yang Jie is a high school student. These days, children are not allowed to study, but can only dig in the land.
