Chapter Ninety-Six: Reading
Before dawn the next day, the two boys of the branch scrivener ran down the mountain to help with the things.
At nine o'clock, the two boys came up with two bags on their backs, ran to Zhang's house and said that the man's train had left last night, and left a letter for Brother Zhang.
"For me?" Zhang Debing glanced at Chen Xin, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Take it and take a look, I guess there's something I want to explain to you. ”
Chen Xin was not polite, took the letter directly, opened it in front of Zhang Debing, and unfolded the letter and glanced at it.
"Take it, it's a warning to you, take a good look at what your brother-in-law has written. ”
After Chen Xin stuffed the letter to Zhang Debing, she beckoned Second Sister Zhang to come over and help open the two bags. It's not that they don't understand the rules, it's mainly that they are afraid that the other party will have some moths, and if they don't mess up the wedding, it won't be like talking.
Besides, there are so many people here, they opened it in front of people, and they are not afraid that someone will say that they have stolen something from Yan Chunhua.
Two packages with a set of clothes in them and some things that were individually packed.
The clothes are new clothes, and there is no kind of tag removed, although it is not a famous brand, but it is obviously the new wedding dress that Yan Chunhua's mother specially bought for her.
They didn't open the other things again, but beckoned someone to help send them to Yan Chunhua. Chen Xin was not at ease, so she also followed, and Bai Mengqing stayed to help Second Sister Zhang clean up and arrange the new house.
The village chief's house has already begun to put wine, in addition to the village, there are other villages that have a little relationship to join in the fun, anyway, it doesn't matter if you send money or not, pay attention to a few dollars to send a basket of vegetables, and if you don't pay attention to it, you won't say anything if you come to eat a meal with your hands.
Yan Chunhua helped the other two villages to also refer to the problem of breeding some time ago, so those who accepted her help came to set up a field for her this time, acting as a maiden family to send relatives, at least the banquet looked lively.
Sister Jia and her family also came, and they ate the noodles of their mother's family directly. When the things were sent over, Sister Jia happened to be there, and after hearing about it, she directly pulled Yan Chunhua into the room and accompanied her to open the package.
In addition to the new wedding dress that Yan Chunhua's mother bought for her, there are also two skirts, which are made by her mother herself, and there are also some necessary dowries for them, such as quilts or something. The other is a pair of jade bracelets hidden in the quilt, Yan Chunhua said that this is what her mother has always brought with her, and it was her grandmother's dowry to her mother, and now her mother gave it to her.
Looking at the bracelet, Yan Chunhua couldn't help crying, and Sister Jia persuaded her for a while before holding back her tears.
"Look, you haven't been blessed by your family, no matter what other people think, at least your mother feels sorry for you, and your brother, come all the way to give you a dowry, don't be sad. ”
Chen Xin looked around in the courtyard for a while, and when she saw that Sister Jia had persuaded Yan Chunhua, she was relieved, and quickly ran back to continue to help decorate the new house.
When she went back, Liu Chunyan happened to be talking to Bai Mengqing, talking about the problems in Yan Chunhua's family, Liu Chunyan was particularly touched, and also taught Bai Mengqing earnestly, warning her to fall in love and get married in the future, not only to look at the man's character, but also to look at the man's entire family situation, don't be stupid and think that a man will marry if he is good to you, and when the time comes, he will not get along with his mother-in-law's family, and the man will change when he says, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.
Liu Chunyan spoke quickly and eloquently, laughing so hard that Bai Mengqing and the two big girls who came to help in the village couldn't stand up straight.
"Sister Chunyan, you have it, you seem to be very experienced, who doesn't know that your brother-in-law is good to you, even if your mother-in-law has a little problem, she is still good to people. Chen Xin interrupted them with a smile, "But I think Sister Chunyan has something that is still very right." Marriage is a matter of two families, and you must be cautious. ”
At this time, this occasion must not continue this topic, Chen Xin changed the topic and turned to Yan Chunhua's house.
"Chunhua is so good, it's a pity that her family doesn't agree to her marrying us, this time Sister Chunhua's maiden family didn't attend the wedding, it's really pitiful. ”
Xiang Meizi is nineteen years old this year, she didn't study after graduating from junior high school, she used to work outside, and she worked hard for two or three hundred yuan a month, and she didn't save enough for her younger brothers and sisters to study for a year. She didn't go out again after the Spring Festival this year, she followed Yan Chunhua to learn about the farm, helped the Zhang family work for half a year, and earned as much money as the previous year, close to home, and could learn some skills. After two years, the family has money, and she plans to get a farm and raise guinea fowl, and then she will marry into the nearby village, go home to help, or do it with the family, it is better than going out to be popular.
The other girl is even younger, she studied late, and now she is sixteen years old before she is in the third year of junior high school. Her family conditions are slightly better, so she is now hesitating whether to go to high school or go out to work like her sisters. She used to think that it was useless to study too much, and she didn't have to go out to work, so she went home to get married, and like her mother and grandmother, she revolved around the men in the family. Later, after seeing Yan Chunhua, I was very envious, especially when my father and brother at home said that Yan Chunhua was capable and powerful, she wanted to be like Yan Chunhua, read some books and learn a skill, and not work for others in the future, and it was very promising to do it by herself.
"In the past, there were few girls in the village who could finish junior high school, but after compulsory education was universalized, after junior high school, both men and women liked to go out to work and earn money, because the village was so poor that they could not afford to pay for high school. Now, the village plans to start with the first intake, and take a certain percentage of the money to save it to pay for high school for the children. It's not all paid, it's based on academic performance, it's like that, whatever, what bonus, whatever. ”
"Scholarship!" the little girl grinned beside her, and if nothing else, she should be one of the first children in the village to benefit.
"Yes, that's it. The village chief and the party secretary said that if they did well in the exam, the village would pay the full amount of one year's tuition and miscellaneous fees, and if they did well, they would pay half of the fees, and those who did not do well would pay a quarter. Anyway, whether you can make the family give less money depends on how well you learn. ”
Not everyone in the village agrees, but the minority obeys the majority, and whether you can get this money there depends on whether your child works hard or not, and who deliberately withholds it.
As soon as such a policy was announced, the children in the village suddenly tightened their skins, and they used to play openly when they came back from school, but now they are all studying hard under the bamboo strips of their parents.
"This year, there are three universities in our village, and the village chief also said that if you can be admitted to the undergraduate program, you will be rewarded with 4,000, if you can be admitted to a junior college, you will be rewarded with 2,000, and if you are only admitted to a technical school, you will be rewarded with 500. The aunt who spoke lowered her voice and laughed so much that her body was shaking, "You don't see Aunt Osmanthus's onion baby, who is guarded reading books and doing questions every day, and I haven't seen him go out for a month." His grades are the worst, it's hard to say whether he can get five hundred, Aunt Osmanthus is very angry, and she doesn't dare to say that the village chief is doing something wrong, she scolds the children at home every day, and everyone has lost weight!"
