Chapter 1397

"Yes, come on, you two smoke!"

Ye Rongrong takes out a packet of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket and divides them.

"Huaxia smoke, good smoke!"

The old man in the old cotton padded jacket sniffed a Chinese cigarette and said happily.

The village is poor. Usually, everyone smokes a pack of cigarettes for two yuan. That is to say, when someone's family is having a wedding, they can get a few Chinese cigarettes.

But the old man heard that when the people at the foot of the mountain hold a wedding, there is a Chinese cigarette at every banquet, and everyone can get a packet of Chinese cigarettes.

It's just that the people in my village are too poor. When it comes to the wedding ceremony, it's the same as before. Every banquet has a packet of Chinese cigarettes. When we drink, we share two cigarettes.

This Chinese cigarette is precious. I can't bear to smoke it at ordinary times!

"Old man, you like to smoke. Here are all the cigarettes."

Ye Guangrong gave the old man a packet of Chinese cigarettes.

There are many Chinese cigarettes in Ye Guangrong's Qiankun ring now. These are not bought by Ye Guangrong. Some of them were confiscated in the supermarket last time, and some of them were given by others.

Now ye Rongrong knows a lot of rich people. These people know that ye Rongrong doesn't accept expensive gifts, so they send cigarettes and wine to Ye Rongrong's home every Spring Festival, so that ye Rongrong's home can open a cigarette hotel.

"I'm so sorry!"

Although the old man in the old cotton padded jacket said he was sorry, his hand was not slow. He took the Chinese cigarette from ye Guangrong's hand in one hand.

In China, smoking and drinking are the most easy to get close to the relationship between people.

This is not, ye Guangrong a package of Chinese cigarettes in the past, everyone's relationship immediately became familiar.

Ye Rongrong also knows that the old man's name is Zhang Tianshan, a villager of Yuanshan village, and the middle-aged man's name is Xu Yongxin, a native of Anrui county.

"Brother Xu, are you also visiting relatives in Yuanshan village this time?"

Fang Bolin asked Xu Yongxin.

"No!"

Xu Yongxin took a look at Fang Bolin and said with a blush.

To tell you the truth, Xu Yongxin has lived half his life. He is still a pack of Chinese cigarettes. Zhang Tianshan regards Ye Guangrong as his own. He says everything.

"Marry a daughter-in-law?"

Liu Qingqing asked in surprise.

After all, Xu Yongxin is in his forties. How can he marry his daughter-in-law!

Is he divorced.

"It's not poverty."

Xu Yongxin sighed and said.

When he was young, his family was poor and had many brothers. After the elder brother and the second brother married their daughter-in-law, the family had no money.

It's Xu Yongxin's turn to get married. If the family wants a house, there is no room, and if they want money, there is no money. The matchmaker is not willing to matchmaker for him.

Xu Yongxin, who has no culture, earns money by doing manual work. A few years ago, his salary was low in the construction site, and he often worked for more than half a year, but he still couldn't get money.

In recent years, the national policy has been good, the wages for manual work have been high, and a lot of money has been saved, so I want to marry a daughter-in-law.

But the girls in the city don't like his elder uncle, and those old women, Xu Yongxin, don't like them.

Some savings of Xu Yongxin do not want to aggrieve themselves, want to marry a big girl.

The girls in the city don't like him, so they want to look for him in the countryside. But now the living conditions of the countrymen in Anrui county are better, and the family life is good.

No one is willing to marry his young daughter to Xu Yongxin, a middle-aged man.

If Xu Yongxin is a rich boss, maybe there is a young girl willing to marry him. The key is that Xu Yongxin is just a middle-aged uncle doing manual work.

If you can't afford a foreign house or a luxury car, no young girl will marry him.

If he wants to have a big girl, he is dreaming.

However, after inquiry, I heard that the girls in Yuanshan village wanted to marry outside the village. They could marry a beautiful yellow flower girl in Yuanshan village with a dowry of 30000 or 50000 yuan.

Because Yuanshan village is very poor, it saves money to marry a daughter-in-law. As long as you buy some daughters-in-law for your wife's family, give them dowry, set up a banquet in the village and invite the whole village to have a banquet, the daughter will be married, and the yellow flower daughter will be able to take home.

After Xu Yongxin inquired, he entrusted the relationship to find someone, and finally found the old man Zhang Tianshan. After several negotiations, he married a yellow flower daughter with a dowry of 50000 yuan. Today is the day when Xu Yongxin and Zhang Tianshan went to the mountain to see her daughter-in-law.

As long as you are satisfied, you can get married and take your daughter-in-law home.

"When you go to Yuanshan village to marry a daughter-in-law, will the woman take care of it?"

Ye Guangrong asked.

"Not yet, but Uncle Zhang said that he was a 19-year-old girl. As you know, if I can marry such a young girl at my age, I will be satisfied. As long as I am healthy and have no problems, the marriage will be done."Speaking of this, Xu Yongxin is not embarrassed.

What's more, for a middle-aged man of his age, it's actually a very proud thing that he can marry a 19-year-old girl named Huang Hua.

You know, in the city, he's the only one who doesn't want to marry him, not to mention the young Huang Hua girls, even the divorced young women.

"What's the difference between this and buying a daughter-in-law!"

Fang Bolin said discontentedly.

Fang Bolin, who has received higher education since childhood, can't see such things and is very dissatisfied.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Tianshan looked at Fang Bolin and said.

How can we say that buying a daughter-in-law? The village is poor. What's wrong with the young girls who want to marry outside the village? It's all voluntary.

"Linlin!"

Ye Guangrong said with a wink at Bolin.

Some things, it's OK to understand in mind, don't say it out, so as not to make others unhappy.

And this kind of thing, to be honest, often happened in the countryside many years ago.

In order to lighten the burden of the family or to marry a better family to live a rich life, girls in poor places will choose to marry a man who is much older than themselves or who has some physical disabilities.

To put it bluntly, it's actually "poor".

Fortunately, the country's rapid economic development in recent years, rural people's living conditions are good, the young men and women began to love freely, free marriage.

Before that, it was impossible.

In the past, when a girl talks about her boyfriend, her family has to guard her. If the other person's family is poor and can't give too much betrothal gifts, it will come to an end.

"Oh

Fang Bolin answered and said nothing.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be angry. She grew up in the city and didn't understand our country."

Ye Rongrong said to Zhang Tianshan.

"Well, it's all caused by poverty!"

Zhang Tianshan sighed and said.

From the bottom of my heart, we are all from the same village. We are all related to each other. The girls in the village are basically the younger generation of Zhang Tianshan.

Zhang Tianshan also wants to have a good home for his younger generation and marry a good family.

But in this society, it's important to be well matched. Many of the girls in poor mountain valley don't know how many big characters they have. It's hard to marry a good family outside the village.

It's hard for Zhang Tianshan to see these girls in the village marry men who are old enough to be their fathers, or men who are physically disabled!

But there's no way. It's all made by poverty!

"Didn't the villagers think about moving outside the village or working outside the village?"

Fang Bolin asked suspiciously.

"A few years ago, the state had a policy to move out of the village. Unfortunately, at that time, people in the village were reluctant to give up the land in the village. Now it's hard to move out of the village. There is no land to accommodate so many people in the village. Moreover, it costs a lot of money to buy land and infrastructure houses. No one in the village can afford so much money."

Zhang Tianshan said with some sadness.

It's all old ideas that kill people and make the village miss an opportunity to get rid of poverty.

"Now it's very profitable to work outside."

Ye Rongrong said.

"Most of the people in the village are big old men who don't know how to take a car when they go out. They often get lost. How can they work? After going out several times, they all come back. In the future, few people in the village are willing to work."

Zhang Tianshan said with some sadness.

People in the village also want to go out to work to earn money, but they can't even take a car when they go out. They often get lost in the city.

Many times because I got lost in the city, the police finally sent me back.

The most important thing is that people in the village basically can't speak Putonghua and can't communicate with the police.

It's OK to work in this area nearby. At least you can understand the local dialect. If you get lost, the police can still communicate. Once you get out of Anrui County, it's very troublesome to get lost.

A few years ago, the villagers went out to work, and more people lost their jobs. The biggest job of the village cadres is to go to the nearby police stations to find people.

So many people in the village dare not go out to work these years. At most, they work part-time at the foot of the mountain, but how much work can they have at the foot of the mountain!

This is also the reason why the village cadres go to the villages and towns again and again to petition and ask the villages and towns to build a hope primary school for the village.

I just don't want my children to be as big as their parents and live in poverty.

Knowledge changes fate. No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education. This is the truth summed up by the old and young men of Yuanshan village over the years.

This is why Li Xia, a volunteer teacher, is so respected in Yuanshan village.

Zhang Tianshan believes that in another ten years, the younger generation in the village will be able to go out and work, and will not encounter the plight of their parents who are unable to survive in the city."Almost. We'd better hurry, or we won't be able to catch up with the dinner."

Zhang Tianshan didn't want to talk more about this topic. He felt a little humiliated. He took a look at his old watch and said to Ye Rongrong.

For this watch, Zhang Tianshan introduced a young man outside the village to a girl in the village. They gave him his old watch. It has been ten years in this area.

The quality of this mechanical watch is very good. It's been ten years, but the hands still move.
