Chapter 4 It's always good to read more
After weighing the tea, the sun was already very big.
Some children who come with adults and pick tea with a playful nature can no longer stand it, so they hide under the tea trees to enjoy the shade, or also return to the tea factory to weigh tea, and then rest under the eaves of the tea factory.
These seven or eight-year-old, eleven or twelve-year-old children can only pick tea with one hand, most of them are not even half a catty, and the bookkeeping is also recorded in the name of adults.
Of course, adults don't really expect them to earn much money.
Wearing a straw hat and returning to the place where he picked tea just now, Wei Mingrang continued to pick tea while thinking about things.
The fact that Ma Changzheng Tea Farm did not renew the contract when it expired made him vaguely have some thoughts in his heart.
However, it is still early, and there are still many years to go. And he hasn't achieved anything yet, even if he talks to his parents, it's a joke.
Father Wei Dagui has a very strong personality and a strong paternal style, only his children listen to him, and he does not listen to his children.
Empty talk has no effect on the father.
By 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was too hot, the second sister and the third sister shouted that they couldn't stand the heat, and the tea bags of the mother and daughter were almost full, and they all shouted home.
So, all the four members of the family went back to the tea factory to weigh the tea, and the mothers and sisters were more than four catties.
This time, Wei Mingrang was a little less, only 3 catties, but with the previous weighing, a total of more than 8 catties, it still made the people around him let out an exclamation.
Many people complimented Hu Mengxian: "Your family is good at reading, and you are also a master at picking tea, I don't know how you taught it." ”
Hu Mengxian said with a smile: "What can I do, it's only more than 500 points, and I haven't gotten the notice yet, so I don't know if I can be admitted! If you want more pocket money, you can only be diligent yourself!"
That being said, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
Living on the edge of the county, other people's houses are cement buildings, only Wei Mingrang's house is still a red brick house, and he has to spend money to hire someone to overhaul it once a year, otherwise it will leak when it rains in some places.
It can be said that Wei Mingrang's family is the poorest in the village group.
The only thing that can make Hu Mengxian proud, raise her head and speak with her chest up, is Wei Ming's achievements and sensibility of the three siblings.
Among them, Wei Mingrang is the son and the boss, and he can give Hu Mengxian a long face the most.
Others praised Wei Mingrang, and Hu Mengxian was the happiest.
Wei Mingrang also followed his mother's words and responded to everyone modestly, saying that the notice had not yet arrived, and he didn't know if he had been admitted.
Naturally, everyone said that they would definitely be able to pass the exam, and when the notice arrived, they were notified to drink.
In fact, after getting the notice in his last life, Wei Mingrang's family did not set up wine.
Because Wei Dagui did not come back, there was a lack of a head of the family to handle this kind of banquet.
And Wei Dagui is away all the year round, and Hu Mengxian is a woman who runs the house, which is a little too calculating, and she doesn't go to the banquet at home.
Even if you have to go to a banquet, the gift is not high.
Therefore, after discussion, the family decided not to put the promotion wine, so as not to have few people to come, and the gift money received was not much, and it would be embarrassing to spread it.
Although the family is poor, Wei Ming's family does not want to be looked down upon and gossiped about.
The reason for poverty is that there are too many brothers and sisters in my father's generation, a total of seven brothers and sisters, and almost every family is poor and white.
But his grandfather, Wei Xiaoli, who was a private school teacher, is a person with a bit of ink.
For example, Wei Dagui's seven brothers and sisters, the family tree is Dazi, there are four sons, and the name is Anping Fugui.
Wei Mingrang's father is the eldest, so his name is Wei Dagui.
Then the sons of the four brothers, the genealogical generation is the Ming generation, a total of five grandchildren: one from the eldest family, one from the second family, two from the third family, and one from the eldest family.
So, Wei Xiaoli named his five grandsons Wen Liang and frugal.
Wei Mingrang is the youngest of the five cousins, so the word "let" is his name.
There are not many families with such names in the village. Most of them were taken with a slap on the head.
It is said that the grandfather also had a student, both parents died, and he was adopted by his grandfather, and his name was Wei Daxian.
Although he was later asked to go back by his own people to raise him, and even finally admitted to the university, his name has not changed, and it is said that he is now the No. 1 county party committee somewhere in another province, and the official is not small.
But Wei Mingrang hadn't seen it.
It is said that when his grandfather passed away, Wei Dagui's four brothers sent a telegram to Wei Daxian to report the funeral, but Wei Daxian did not come back, so the brothers became passers-by.
Later, Wei Daxian came back and wanted to worship his adoptive father, but Wei Dagui's brothers didn't even let him in, so they drove out.
When Wei Daxian came back, Wei Ming let him play at his grandmother's house, so he didn't meet it, and he didn't see it.
The tutor handed down by Wei Xiaoli is to read more and have backbone.
Of course, the inheritance is not very perfect. Some people inherited it, some people didn't.
Wei Mingrang's family is inherited.
Therefore, in this life, after receiving the notice, Wei Mingrang will still discuss with his parents like in his previous life whether he will put up a school wine.
When I returned home, one sister usually lit the fire and the other sister helped my mother cook.
But now Wei Mingrang offered him to light the fire, help his mother cook, and let his two younger sisters go to read books or do summer homework.
The two younger sisters are not very happy, and they would rather cook on the fire than read and study.
But Wei Mingrang insisted on his opinion and kicked the two out of the kitchen.
The study of the two younger sisters is also the history that Wei Mingrang must change.
It is precisely because they are too poor, and then they came into contact with the professions of picking tea and selling vegetables early, that the two younger sisters are now less and less focused on studying, and more and more want to make money.
When I was in elementary school, my two younger sisters who were in the same class once ranked first and second in their grades in one semester, and their grades in other semesters were not bad.
When I reached junior high school, I became more and more proficient in tea picking, and I earned more and more pocket money, so I became less and less focused on studying.
As a result, their homework became worse and worse, and sometimes they had to go to pick tea when they came back from school in the afternoon.
The mother wants to farm and run the house, and it is a free-range policy for her children, and the study of the two younger sisters has always been supervised by Wei Mingrang.
After Wei Ming let him go to college, no one cared about him, so his two younger sisters completely herded the sheep, and they simply didn't even get into an ordinary high school, and after graduating from junior high school, they followed their father to Guangdong to work.
As a result, whether it is work or love, until marriage, the evil consequences of reading less are more obvious in the later stage.
It's not that those with low diplomas must have a bad life, and those with high diplomas must have a good life, but there are also those with low diplomas who become big bosses and have high diplomas who can't even find a job.
But from the perspective of the probability of big data, it is still the people with high diplomas who have the advantage.
The more you read, the easier it will be for the rest of your life.
Although more than 10 years later, many young people shouted that they would be unemployed after graduation, and finally found a job, the salary was not as high as that of migrant workers on the construction site.
But in reality, it's just a tough time for a freshman to graduate.
Think about the fact that when migrant workers were just starting out, they could only be handymen and apprentices, so wasn't the salary lower?
Think about the career prospects and quality of life for both parties in five or ten years?
Thinking about the work intensity, working hours, holiday treatment, and punctuality of wages paid by both parties, can it be said that no matter how much you study, it is useless and not as good as migrant workers?
Yes, there are certainly some that can't be compared, but that's a minority of the few.
It's not that he looks down on migrant workers, Wei Ming makes his parents count as one of the migrant workers.
But respect is respect, Wei Ming must not let his two younger sisters continue to work after graduating from junior high school like in his previous life.
It was necessary to turn the minds of the two younger sisters and let them focus on studying.
