In the past few days before moving, Li Mu and his parents frequently traveled between Haizhou and Jinling, buying all kinds of household appliances and home furniture.

The three of them worked together and finally moved into a new house on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and on the day of moving to a new house, Li Ma and Li Mu's aunt made a big meal at home together, and invited relatives to the house to burn the bottom of the pot, which was regarded as a celebration of the housewarming, and the next morning, Li Mu drove his GL8 and drove his parents back to their hometown in the countryside.

The family had a reunion dinner at the second uncle's house, because of Li's father, the second uncle's living situation has changed dramatically, and the two aunts' families have also started a small business with the support of Li's father, and their lives have also improved significantly.

During the banquet, the second uncle and Li's father drank some liquor, and they could see that he was in a good mood, pointed to his pair of children, and said: "When Fen Fen gets married in the future, I will be able to make more money for Xiaobin to build a new house in the future, and when he gets married, I will complete the task!"

The family at the dinner table has similar views, no one thinks that it is a little inappropriate for Li Fen to get married so early, in their opinion, Li Fen has dropped out of school at home, and the girls in the same village who are about the same age as her and don't go to school or go out to work are basically married or have a good in-law's family, Li Fen naturally can't drag it out, not to mention that her future in-laws are very famous in the town, there is a flour mill at home, and the family is quite well-off, and it is famous in the town.

Li Mu took a look at Li Fen's expression and found that when everyone was talking about her marriage in the near future, her expression was not the slightest happy or shy, but only a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, which seemed to be reluctant.

Li Fen is only one year younger than Li Mu, looks pretty good, has a good personality, is a very real girl, in the impression that she only went to school to the first year of high school, worked in the county for a year, and opened a wholesale department at home, she came back to help, if according to the trajectory of her previous life, she did not go home, but went to the south with her fellow villagers to work, and got married in her early twenties, because of her own interference, so that her life trajectory changed last year, and it was because she stayed at home to help that the family moved the idea of finding her mother-in-law's family, and it was precisely because of the second uncle's recent booming business, the Qi family, who opened a flour mill, would fall in love with her as a future daughter-in-law。

If Li Fen was satisfied with this marriage, Li Mu might not interfere, but he obviously saw that Li Fen was reluctant, so he couldn't let himself go, all this came to this point, it was all his own secret influence, and he should be responsible for her future.

So, when the family was discussing what dowry to prepare for Li Fen, Li Mu suddenly asked Li Fen: "Fenfen, what do you mean?"

Li Fen glanced up at Li Mu, she was not very familiar with her cousin, and the two couldn't see each other a few times a year, so there were still some raw points when they met, but it was this cousin who was a little raw, and when he came to the house today, he gave himself a laptop that he didn't dare to dream of, which flattered Li Fen, and thought she was dreaming several times, she knew that her cousin went to university in Yanjing, and it was a very famous Renmin University, and she also knew that her cousin was very capable. The clothing store opened by the eldest mother was opened after he made money, so Li Fen was full of admiration for Li Mu, who was only one year older than him.

And at this moment, when she heard her cousin ask what she meant, the grievances that Li Fen suppressed in her heart were suddenly stimulated by Li Mu's words, the family almost didn't ask her for her opinion when Zhang Luo was in this matter, and she was too soft to dare to disobey her parents, so her attitude has been vague, and the family thought she was acquiescing, so she and the Qi family pushed this marriage step by step more maturely, and when she wanted to refuse, she found that she had missed the best time to refuse.

Recently, no one has asked her what she thinks in her heart anymore, this sentence was suddenly asked by her cousin, Li Fen hesitated for a long time, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, I don't really want to get married, I want to go out and see ......"

After Li Fen said this, she lowered her head nervously, Li Mu's second aunt heard this, waved her hand inadvertently, and said: "What else can you do when you go out to work? Look at how many girls in our village who go out to work are doing well? How good are the family conditions of the Qi family, you marry into their family, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, your father and I will also supplement you, so that you will not be looked down upon in your in-law's family, and your life will definitely be the best among these girls when the time comes." ”

Li Fen whispered: "But I really want to go out and see, I've only been to Jinling once when I'm so big, I haven't been to anywhere else, I don't want to get married so early......"

Li Fen said, the tears of grievance dripped involuntarily, the relatives on the table saw it, and they were all a little overwhelmed all of a sudden, the second aunt was embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, she just thinks that she will marry someone else's family in the future, and she feels unaccustomed to it, whose daughter must not cry a few times before getting married, and it will be good to marry for a month." ”

Li Fen's tears instantly became a string, and her voice choked: "Mom, I really don't want to get married, and I don't like that Qi Dayong ...... either"

Li Mu's second aunt frowned, and asked her in a somewhat angry tone: "You don't want to get married, why didn't you say it earlier?

The second aunt's reprimand, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly solidified, and after Li Fen was reprimanded by the second aunt, she didn't refute or explain, just lowered her head and cried.

Li Mu said at this time: "Second aunt, don't get angry first, Fen Fen said that she must have her own ideas if she doesn't want to get married, it's better to let her tell her what she plans to do, and what she wants to do if she doesn't get married." ”

The second aunt looked at Li Mu, her tone calmed down a little, and said, "Xiao Mu, you don't know this girl Fenfen, she doesn't want to say anything herself, it's just meat, and the meat is terrible......"

Li Mu said: "Let her tell her own plans." ”

The second aunt asked Li Fen: "Then you say it yourself, what do you want to do if you don't get married?"

Li Fen raised her head and said, "I want to go out to work." ”

"Part-time job?" The second aunt refused without hesitation: "There is no shortage of you at home now, you go out to earn those hundreds of yuan, what's the point of you running out alone?"

Li Fen said: "I just want to go out and have a look, I don't want to get married in such a daze." ”

The second aunt's face was very ugly, and she slapped her chopsticks on the table: "You dead girl, in front of so many relatives, you want to embarrass me and your father, right?"

Li Fen was stimulated by the second aunt's words and walked out, her younger brother Li Bin was about to chase after her, Li Mu stood up and said, "I'll go, you eat first, I'll persuade her." ”

After speaking, Li Mu took two quick steps, went out of the gate and chased out of the yard, and stopped Li Fen, who was still wiping his tears in front.

Li Fen stopped, Li Mu walked up to her and asked her, "Why don't you even eat?"

Li Fen wiped away her tears and said, "I can't make sense with my mother at all. ”

Li Mu persuaded: "The reason why it doesn't make sense is that we haven't found a solution that is acceptable to both parties, and you don't want to get married against her will, and going out to work is not acceptable to her." ”

Li Fen said with some indignation: "I can also make money to supplement my family when I go out to work, my classmates can earn five or six hundred a month when they go out to work, and the factory can send three or four hundred to their homes a month, don't they let me marry Qi Dayong because they fancy his family's money." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Now that the business of your wholesale department is so prosperous, how can your parents be willing to let you go out to work? There is no shortage of what you earn, they want you to get married and they don't fancy other people's money, they just want your life to be better, didn't your mother say, after you get married, in order to prevent your in-laws from looking down on you, she and your father have to continue to subsidize your life." ”

Li Fen said with red eyes: "But I really don't want to get married......"

Li Mu nodded and said, "You can't always just say that you don't want to get married, and you can't say a really effective solution, if your parents agree to your request and don't force you to get married, how will you go forward?"

Li Fen hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I just want to go to the south to work, if the family doesn't open this wholesale department, I may have gone to the south with my classmates, and after opening this wholesale department, I came back to help, I didn't expect them to let me get married so early." ”

Li Mu sighed helplessly, and became more determined in his heart: nothing can make Li Fen reluctantly marry prematurely.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of some special colleagues he had met in the workplace in his previous life, and a thought took shape in his mind, and then asked Li Fen: "Then do you want to go to school?"

"Go to school?" Li Fen looked at Li Mu in surprise: "I left school before I finished my first year of high school, what can I go to now?

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Let's go to college directly." ”

"University?" Li Fen was even more confused, how could he go to college in his own situation?

Li Mu saw that she was puzzled, so he said: "Many private universities do not need to take the college entrance examination and pay money to go to school, saying that they are universities, but in fact, they are mainly engaged in the training of adult college entrance examinations, but they are not much different from normal universities in terms of mode, and they can also experience the study and life of the university. It's much better to go out and find a job with a high school diploma. ”

Li Fen once had a deep vision for the university, but the family conditions were very poor, she dropped out of high school in advance, and completely dispelled all the longing and hope for the university, but Li Mu's words made her ignite a trace of faith, although she had heard that private universities were not very reliable, but Li Mu said very pertinently, although the school is not a formal university recognized by the state, but it is not much different from other universities in form, if you work hard, it will be very useful to take a diploma for yourself in the future.

Li Fen, who instantly ignited hope in her heart, soon realized a serious problem, she said: "If you go to school, the cost of tuition, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses is too big, and my parents will definitely not be willing." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly: "I will pay for all the expenses of your schooling." (To be continued.) )
