However, behind the pride, there is huge economic pressure, and it is not easy for rural areas to train a college student. A year's living expenses and tuition fees add up, and the annual expenditure of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan can be imagined as a pressure on a rural family.

Maybe 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is nothing for urban families, but for rural families, it is barely enough for a family to save food and save money. This is still the kind of school with relatively low tuition fees, if you encounter a school with a high fee, or an art school, it will be 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year. The average rural family is admitted to the kind of school that charges high fees, that is, the three books we say, the family generally cannot afford it, and as for the arts, rural families will hardly consider it.

Lantian High School is the best middle school in Leping County, according to Li Xue, Li Jie will have two classes in the morning, and then go back with them to pay homage to his birthday, and he will rush back to school after lunch, only delaying two classes.

That is, the conditions are good now, there is a car to pick up, when Moke was in high school, the conditions in his hometown were not so good, and when he encountered this kind of birthday greeting, he still had to stay in school and continue to study and attend classes.

A few minutes later, a man in a school uniform appeared at the school gate.

"Little Jay. Looking at the young man, Li Xue hurriedly spoke.

Following Li Xue's gaze, Li Jie had a bookish face and a somewhat thin body, in fact, in high school, not many people were really fat. The course in high school was very stressful, almost thirteen or fourteen hours a day, and even in the sprint period of the third year of high school, fourteen or fifteen hours a day, it was extremely normal. It can be said that in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, they are all reading, studying, and reviewing.

"Sister, who is this brother?" Li Jie couldn't help but be curious when he saw Moke.

"This is my boyfriend, Inkke. Li Xue hurriedly said.

"Brother-in-law. Li Jie hurriedly said.

The inkman smiled awkwardly, and the two took Li Jie to the parking space on the side.

"Brother-in-law, this is your car, this car is more than a million. Li Jie looked at the Audi in front of him and said with a surprised face, more than one million cars, in the small county town of Leping County, are definitely luxury cars. In the entire Leping County, the best car is only four or five million cars.

"You kid, you don't study hard, but you know so much about cars. Li Xue glared at Li Jie fiercely.

"It's not a thunderstorm yet, that kid likes nothing more than studying, just watching luxury cars. Li Jie pouted.

When he was a student, he always liked to give his classmates nicknames, and all kinds of nicknames were messy, and the thundershower in Li Jie's mouth was his tablemate and friend.

"Brother-in-law, from now on you are my own brother-in-law. Li Jie hurriedly said.

When the ink guest heard this, there was a wry smile on his face, Li Jie was obviously a lively and active person, just when they first met, he looked completely familiar. Li Xue's three siblings, that is, the eldest Li Wei, are not so talkative because they are married.

"Let's drive, if we don't drive, we won't be able to go back to pay my grandmother's birthday." Li Xue hurriedly said.

"By the way, what gift did you prepare for grandma?" As Moke started the car, Li Xue looked at Li Jie beside him.

"I have been prepared for a long time, two days ago in the school test, I scored second in the overall grade, won a bonus of 200 yuan, and the gift for my grandmother has already been bought. Li Jie said with a smile.

Today's school, in order to encourage students, not only comes up with the trick of reducing or reducing tuition, but even directly rewards cash, as the first middle school in Leping County, Lantian High School is not short of money, I don't know how many people enter through school choice. There are also some students who stay and repeat, which is an important source of income for the school, as well as a source of bonuses for other students.

When the group returned to Li Xue's house, there were already many guests in the small courtyard, and the open space on the hillside not far away was covered with bright red firecrackers. In the living room, there is a large cake several layers high, which is customized by the children of later generations with money.

There were many guests at noon, and the Li family was very busy, even Li Jie temporarily acted as a notekeeper to help record the guests' gifts. On the contrary, Li Xue didn't help because of Moke's boyfriend, after all, Moke didn't know anyone, and if Li Xue left, he would really be alone alone.

As expected last night, Su Jie didn't come back at noon, obviously knowing that there was no chance, and he didn't want to waste his gifts, after all, if the blind date went well last night, the birthday gift prepared by Su Jie would be at least four figures or more.

"Crackling"

The firecrackers in the distance suddenly rang out, and with the sound of firecrackers, the cake in the living room was also in the middle of the small courtyard, and a capable man was holding a microphone and saying auspicious words in his mouth.

And as the host presided over the birthday banquet, the atmosphere of the whole birthday banquet was also at its peak, and several aunts began to arrange for the children and younger generations of the elderly to stand and give birthday gifts, which is also a rule, not to say that a swarm of bees will go up to give gifts.

The candle on the cake had been lit, and the old man made a wish for a strong family, and with the help of his four children, he blew out the candle.

Next is the birthday ceremony, Li Da is not the eldest of the old man's four children, but as the only son, together with Liu Qin, he is the first to come forward to offer a birthday gift. By Li Xue's aunts and couples.

After the elders gave the birthday gift, it was Li Xue's turn to give the birthday gift.

"Below, I invited the old man's granddaughter Li Xue, and her boyfriend Moke to come forward to greet the old man Jing Shujuan. The moderator spoke.

"Why are we? shouldn't your brother come first?" Hearing the host's voice, Moke couldn't help but be stunned.

"It must be my mom who made the hell, let's go over first. Li Xue smiled bitterly, and immediately pulled the ink guest forward.

"I wish grandma every year today, every year today. The two said in unison.

"Good, good. The old man smiled and nodded.

Moke and Li Xue hurriedly took out their gifts, Li Xue's gift was Shou Tao, and Moke's was an ice bracelet.

"Moke, Xiaoxue will be handed over to you in the future. The old man spoke.

"Oh"

"Whew"

As soon as the old man's words fell, there was a commotion all around.

Moke and Li Xue retreated with a wry smile, and then Li Wei and others began to pay their birthday greetings, and even a few great-grandchildren stepped forward with gifts, and the smiles on the old man's faces have not been broken since the birthday greetings.

After the birthday greeting session is over, the birthday banquet will start normally, and Moke and Li Xue have lunch early, and Li Jie is sent back to school.

The two returned home, chatted with the old man and a few relatives for a while, and in the afternoon, they drove back to Liangdu. The two of them came in an empty car, but when they went back, they returned with a full load, two large boxes of fruits, and some special products, even including some extra chicken, duck and fish meat prepared at the birthday banquet. It's a good thing that Moke came by car, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take so many things with him.

Of course, this is also the norm, when the children return to their parents in the countryside during the New Year, when they come back from the countryside after the New Year, they will always come back with a bunch of things, which are the care of the elderly for their children, and the love of their parents.
