Chapter 10

Looking at a plate full of braised pork, Li Mingyun was stunned for a moment, "what day is today? Why do you still eat meat?"

"Today your daughter and son have passed the third junior high school entrance examination."

Mei Zhonghua put the braised pork on the table, as if he was announcing a major event. "Mingyun, from today on, we are going to produce high-quality students. I think well, both children go to junior high school, and I have to give them both out."

Li Mingyun was surprised and pleased: "did both children really get into junior high school? You're not lying to me, are you? "

We should know that she and Mei Zhonghua both graduated from primary school. When she went to school, her grades were not bad. It was because the family conditions were not good, and she was the eldest. There was no way to continue studying. However, she never gave up the desire to go to school. She did not expect that she and Mei Zhonghua had never been to junior high school, but the two children passed the examination with their own abilities, which really gratified her.

"Can you be deceived by such a thing? The school has published the results. I don't believe you can read it yourself. "

Li Mingyun smile stretch like a flower, in the past two years moved to the county, nothing to make her so happy.

Looking at the happy appearance of her parents, Mei Xiaoran was in a complicated mood. She could not tell whether she was moved or sad. Finally, she turned to Mei Xiaolei and said, "you see how happy our parents are. You have to work harder after junior high school. Don't let my parents down."

"Sister, I know. Can we have dinner now

Mei Xiaolei has long coveted the delicious braised meat.

The whole family laughed and had a hot lunch.

After lunch, Mei Xiaoran and his brother lie down for a rest.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, Li Mingyun took out Mei Zhonghua's dirty shoes and shoes and washed them. This kind of shoes can be dried in the sun in the morning, which does not affect their wearing the next day.

"Zhonghua, how much tuition do you think the two children have to go to school? Can we afford it?"

Mei Zhonghua was shaking with a big leaf fan, and he was also calculating the tuition fees. "I inquired about the tuition fees of two students, and estimated to get 20 or 30 yuan."

At that time, there was no compulsory education. Although the country strongly advocated the elimination of illiteracy, it was also a fact that many children could not afford to go to school!

The average wage of ordinary workers is basically more than 20 yuan. The highest wage can be more than 30 yuan, and the lower wage is less than 20 yuan. The tuition fees of these two children are higher than the average worker's salary for one month. Can we not worry? The Mei family is just a farmer who has just moved into the city. They live on the tumble. They are not as secure as the workers. The family of four still have to eat!

"How much money do we have now?"

Mei Zhonghua also took out the money for selling grain today. Li Mingyun quickly calculated that the total amount of his family income would be 70-80 yuan, and the cost of grain purchase should be taken into account It is also the care of Meier elder brother that Mei Zhonghua takes the grain first, and then gives money when it is sold out. It's said that brothers and sisters settle accounts. Mei Zhonghua doesn't know what's good or bad. He usually sends money to his second brother when he's finished selling grain. He can't let people help him, but he's still at risk.

"I have to send the grain money back to my second brother tomorrow."

Mei Zhonghua calculated that, apart from the cost of buying food, all his family's belongings add up to only about 20 yuan, which is not enough to pay school fees for the children.

Li Mingyun was anxious, "send the grain money back, do we still have the money to pay tuition fees for the children?"

"Isn't it three or four days away from school? I'll think of another way to make sure that all the children go to school. "

The next day at five o'clock, Mei Zhonghua got up early. She didn't even care to eat, so she went out with a shelf car.

"Dad, wait a minute."

Mei Xiaoran ran ran out of the room, dressed neatly, "I'll follow you today."

"What are you doing with your father as a child? Dad's not going out to play. "

Mei Zhonghua is not willing to let the baby girl go out with him to suffer. Although it is at the end of the day, it is still very hot He also took advantage of the cool to go out. If he waited until the sun came out and the poisonous sun was in the sun, who would like to go shopping? It must be cool while it's early!

"I know. You let me go with you. It's cool now anyway."

Mei Xiaoran said, gently and cleverly jumped onto the shelf car, with Mei Zhonghua smilingly, "Dad, you take me."

"I can't do anything about you."

Mei Zhonghua said this, but did not force Mei Xiaoran out of the car, had to pull her to the countryside.

The Mei family lives at the east end of the small street in the east of the city. Actually, it is on the moat, less than 50 meters away from the moat. Don't underestimate the 50 meters, that is the boundary between the county and the countryside. In the early years, only living inside the moat was considered as the county seat. Out of the moat, the suburbs were connected with the wheat field. Now there are many people living outside the moat. The scale of the county is larger than before, but in the eyes of the old county people, the boundary is clearly drawn!

Just like Mei Zhonghua's hometown, it's only five miles away from the county. It's also the countryside. He can move into the county because he married the city girl Li Mingyun and become the first half of the city.

She took Mei Xiaoran out of the city, not far away from her hometown. She had been five miles away from her hometown. She had almost a mile to walk out of the county. She was only four miles away from her hometown. It took more than half an hour for Mei Zhonghua to get home."Dad, did you come home to see my second uncle?"

Mei Zhonghua frowned and said unhappily, "adults' affairs and children's inquiries are few."

"My father, if you don't tell me, I know it's the way back home."

It's not true. When you come out of the county, you can walk along the road and turn north to get to the village. Mei Xiaoran has not never been back. The road is very clear.

Mei Zhonghua stopped talking.

"Dad, do you want to return the money to the second uncle, and then get some food from the second uncle to sell it?"

"How do you know?"

Mei Zhonghua didn't hide it. She said to her daughter honestly, "your father is relying on your second uncle's way, so that he can't get through it slowly. Without your second uncle's support, your father can't live up to now." In any case, he married a girl from the city, settled down in the county, and mixed up with the registered permanent residence of the county. In the eyes of the rural people, this is the performance of the prosperous life.

"Dad, have you ever thought about it? If you pay back the grain money that I owe my second uncle, you don't have much money in your hand. Unless you sell the grain upside down, you can pour out the money. But today is August 27, and there is only one fair in the middle. Can you guarantee that you can sell them all?"

Mei Xiaoran made an account for her father in her heart. Even if her father could sell all the food in the past two days, he would not earn 10 yuan. What's more, his family still had to eat and drink. Which one didn't spend money?

Mei Zhonghua didn't think about it. He didn't have no way. He didn't want to open his mouth and borrow money from others The big brother and the second brother all have children, and all of them have to go to school. The economy must be more tense than him, and he can't open his mouth.
