Although they lived in the city for decades, the idea of son preference is deeply rooted.
In the years after Dong Mian was born, family planning was in vogue. Zha was strict. She wanted Dong Quan to have more sons. She went to primary school in Dong Mian and encouraged Dong Quan to give Dong Mian to others.
Because Dong Meng grew up beautiful, Granny dong thought that she would be promising in the future. If she could catch a golden turtle grandson-in-law for her, she naturally loved Dong Meng in the palm of her hand.
"Yes, achievements are not everything these days. Dong Mao's wife, Dong's sister-in-law, is helping. Lao Wang and Lao Zhou's granddaughter next door are typical examples. "
"How well did Lao Wang's daughter do when she was a child? He's also the first one. He's also a doctor, but he looks average. Now he's an old maid, and no man wants her at all. "
"Lao Zhou's daughter is very good-looking. Although her academic performance is not so good, she is very good-looking. She married a multimillionaire at the end of last year, and the living standard of the Zhou family is higher than one grade."
"So, after all, the girl has to get married. It's the key to grow up well and marry well, especially for those like Dong Meng who marry a rich man. It's a matter of minutes."
Not only Dong's sister-in-law, but also other relatives are all around Dong Meng and are full of praise. They can't remember Dong Mian at all.
Dong Meng is used to it. Usually she just sits in the yard with a book in her arms. This time, she brings some gadgets and quietly folds the little stars.
Dong Meng came out, saw it and laughed, "what's the age of this? Still folding these useless and worthless things? ”
Dong Mian ignored her.
"Are you in love? This... Is it for your boyfriend? "
Dong Meng thinks her boyfriend is Cheng Yingdong.
In fact, Dong Meng can't accept Cheng Yingdong's love for Dong Mian. Although Cheng Yingdong is a little worse than Li YueKai, he is also a handsome guy. I heard that his family is also rich.
Dong Mian is still silent.
At this time, her uncle Dong Lin's five - or six-year-old son, playing with a water gun, sprayed directly on Dong Mian, and Dong Mian's hair and face were soaked.
Before she spoke, the child tripped and fell in front of Dong Mian, lying on the ground crying out, and the guests and Dong family came out.
Granny Dong is especially fond of her grandson. Aunt Dong dotes on her son too much. It's amazing. After a cold look, Dong Mian begins to coax her son, "what's wrong with Xiaojian? Where did you fall? "
"My knee hurts. Mom, my sister beat me."
As soon as grandma Dong saw that her baby grandson's knee was red, her face was not good-looking. As she was a child, she slapped her hand on Dong Mian's head, and the strength was 100%.
Although she was old and seemed useless, Dong Mian was dizzy.
Looking at the water stains on Dong Mian's hair, aunt Dong knew what was going on. She said angrily, "Xiao Mian, your brother is still young and doesn't know anything. He didn't mean to wet you. Do you treat your brother like this?"
"I didn't!" Dong Mian's face was pale and looked at them coldly
"You are still sophistry! How old is Xiao Lan? Where can he lie? It's clearly your fault! " Without saying a word, Granny Dong slapped her again.
This time, Dong Mian dodged.
Granny Dong is very comfortable and used to it.
When she was a child, she played with Dong Mian. Dong Meng fell down or cried. She was told by granny Dong. Granny Dong slapped Dong Mian directly on the head. At that time, she was not so old. A five or six-year-old child of Dong Mian was slapped down by her, and he was dizzy for three days.
Grandma Dong is very angry. Seeing so many relatives here, Dong Mian is no longer young. If she fights again, she will lose her family's face.
Glancing at the things on Dong Mian's hand, he hummed coldly: "how can children be so shameless these days? Did you start falling in love before you grew up? If you have a mother, you have no education at all. If you say it, it will only ruin the reputation of our Dong family! "
Dong Mian's hand movement, small mouth tightly pursed, did not say a word to take their own things, turned away.
"Where to?" Dong Quan cheered unhappily.
Dong Mian didn't answer. Granny Dong snorted coldly, "let her go! Can't you say a word when you've done something wrong? It seems that our Dong family owes her. So what if the whole school is number one? What's the future of a dead scholar? Just like her, no one wants her to find a job in the future! "
Dong xiaoaunt not happy to agree, "that is, the news did not say, now more and more college students, some people read a doctor out is also a nerd, will only die reading, not flexible, other people's companies are not willing to want such a nerd."
"And you see, I want to fall in love before I graduate. I'm not afraid of shame if I give away some worthless things!"
Aunt Dong closed her mouth and sneered, "students, they don't have much money. The love of the poor is like this. They must not be rich either. Otherwise, what time is it? And these poor things? "
"She can do whatever she likes. Anyway, we don't rely on nerds like her to glorify our ancestors." After that, Granny Dong snorted and said to Dong Quan and ye Panyun, "our Dong family doesn't owe her any money. We raise her in vain. At the age of 16, her kindness has been exhausted. When she graduated from high school, she won't study for her. Let her go out to work and ask her to get back the money for reading and rice for so many years. Reading too many books is in vain, not without money."“ If she wants to study for a doctor, you will have to support her all her life! Our Dong family's rice should not be wasted. " Ye Panyun was so eager that he said, "OK, mom, I know."“ Don't talk about her. It's bad luck that I get angry with her every year! " When ye Panyun saw that Dong Mian was flat, she was very happy. In particular, her daughter easily compared her down, everyone likes her, she Dong Mian in addition to reading heart point, what good? At the beginning of the fourth year, Dong Mian had to pack up his things and go back to school in the morning. Of course, before going back to school, she had to ask Dong Quan for living expenses. Dong Quan frowned, "it's just the new year. Don't you have your own red envelope?"“ It's only ten dollars. " It was given by Ye Panyun on the first day of the new year. But she gave her daughter and son 1000 yuan“ What about grandparents, uncles and aunts? "“ No“ No? Your brother and sister have thousands of yuan, but you have nothing. After all, it's your own problem! " With that, he just took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to Dong Mian“ It's four hundred. " In the beginning, we had to pay for materials and tuition fees. 400 yuan was not enough before meals. Now, with all kinds of study fees, it's not enough“ Next month, ask your mother again. Go and leave me alone. " Dong Quan doesn't have much money either. His money is all in ye Panyun's side. The rest is his private money. Where can he give him too much? Dong Mian pursed her little mouth and went back to school.
