Chapter 34: Li Xiaofang's Return to Hometown (2)

When the sun was still shining after the meal, Zhao Hong proposed to go to the primary school in the nearby village with Li Xiaofang to see where Li Xiaofang had fought.

Li Xiaofang's former primary school has been very dilapidated and has been abandoned, because the one-child policy is getting stricter and stricter, there are fewer children, and many primary schools have fewer and fewer enrollments, and they are slowly merged into the central primary school in the township.

I have to go out at 6 o'clock in the morning when I am far away, and in addition to books, I have to bring lunch, and the school helps to heat it up. At this stage, there are many students who are out of school in rural areas, and most of them drop out of school voluntarily, because going to school is really hard. If you don't have any special talent, you basically won't graduate from junior high school and become the main force of sweatshops in the late nineties.

Zhao Hong explained to her his plans when he came, and he still has a certain amount of income in Haishi, which is enough for Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang to live well during their school years. All the money she earns will be given to her family, and if she can, Zhao Hong also hopes to keep more to prevent any accidents at home. I brought 10,000 whole money on myself. How to stay is a question, her father is even more stubborn than her.

Li Xiaofang was also a little surprised, but she still didn't say anything, lowered her head and thought carefully. is indeed a little embarrassed, Zhao Hong is also kind, and he is actually quite happy to be so considerate of himself. But Li Xiaofang really didn't know how to speak, and she didn't know how to convince her father. My father is old, and at the age of nearly 50, working in the fields is already very laborious, and some manual work is often inadequate. What should I do? Li Xiaofang was also very difficult. After pondering for a moment, "I'll think about it again tonight." I'll tell you tomorrow about my decision. ”

There was nothing to say all night, Zhao Hong slept a lot, in this era in the rural area of Suide there are still two meals a day, the first meal is around ten o'clock in the morning, so no one gets up early, the bed is warm, and it is very cold outside.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Zhao Hong got up, and after a simple wash, he was ready to leave. When Li Xiaofang went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Zhao Hong walked over, and just when he wanted to ask Li Xiaofang's thoughts, someone came to the door.

"The third child is here, I heard that my niece is back, I'll take a look. "Before the man arrived, the voice had arrived.

"Come in, why is the second cousin free to come over today?" Li Xiaofang's father hurriedly arrived.

"Didn't I just hear that Xiaofang was back, come and have a look. "A somewhat chubby middle-aged man entered the house.

Zhao Hong looked at Li Xiaofang and whispered, "Why is the tone a little strange." ”

Li Xiaofang asked Zhao to look at the pot where the porridge was boiling, and hurriedly went in.

"Uncle Cousin, is there something?" Li Xiaofang hurriedly said.

"It's nothing, it's not that you and your brother started school last year, and your father took 300 yuan from me, and there are more than 3,000 yuan from the previous one. Your eldest cousin is getting married this year, and he is going to make a new house, so let's see if it's convenient for you here, and you can pay back as much as you want. The fat man said with a look of embarrassment. "The main thing is that it's been too long, so your aunt asked me to ask. ”

Li Xiaofang looked back at her father.

My father looked a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't you just prepare 500 and send it to you?"

Li Xiaofang felt a little sorry for her father. "No, Uncle Cousin, did you bring all the IOUs today? ”

The fat man was stunned and hurriedly said, "Don't, it's good to have a little, just make up the nonsense and fool your aunt." I'm fine with your father, or I won't borrow money. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, cousin" Li Xiaofang returned to the kitchen, and Zhao Hong hurriedly handed over the prepared 10,000 yuan.

The matter was quickly resolved.

Li Xiaofang's younger brother set the table, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang brought the new corn porridge to the table, the atmosphere was a little weird, everyone was drinking the porridge and no one spoke.

After the meal, Li Xiaofang's younger brother took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Zhao Hong also hurried to help.

Li Xiaofang and his father discussed in a low voice for a while, and there was a little argument, and after a while, Li Xiaofang came in and called Zhao Hong in.

Father Li said with a bad face, "I let you see the joke today." In the past few years, the harvest was not good, the two children were studying, and they had to hand over the co-ordination, so there was really no way to borrow some outside, and the expenses have been large in recent years, and the expenses of high school have become more and more large. As you saw just now, without the money you brought, there is something to bother today. ”

Li Xiaofang's eyes were a little red, and Zhao Hong hurriedly said, "Don't, don't care too much." Don't we have bride price money here, we have it there, it's even higher than here, and you have agreed to our relationship, so let's treat it as a bride price. And in the future, Xiaofang and I are also ready to bear the cost of Xiaofang's younger brother's study, and the leaders of the people have said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? This is also the responsibility of me and Xiaofang, so that Xiaofang and my younger brother will have a better relationship, of course, the same with me, don't let me miss the opportunity to tie up my brother-in-law in the future!"

After saying this, Xiao Fang was happy, came over and kicked him, very lightly. Li Xiaofang's father was not so sad, and his brother-in-law was relieved.

Subsequently, Li Xiaofang's father still expressed his gratitude, but he was not so entangled.

If only stubbornness is not flexible, how can he marry a young girl from a big city, of course, there is no stubbornness and persistence, and there is no diligence and studious Li Xiaofang's sister and brother.

It is only in the face of adversity that people can better stimulate their potential, make unremitting efforts, break through obstacles, and achieve success in life.

Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang's family chatted happily, the sun came out, and the temperature rose quickly under the fierce sunlight. It doesn't seem to be as cold anymore. The cave was originally warm in winter and cool in summer, and the air was very dry, but Zhao Hong's arthritis was not fan.

People need to communicate more.

Although Li Xiaofang's father is a farmer and has hardly been out of the house, his ideology and morality are indeed very advanced, and the ancestors of the Li family also have heels, and they used to be a big heirloom of poetry and books, but the family has been lonely in the past hundred years.

However, the family motto is still there, both men and women must study, men study to become talents, and women to study virtuously. As long as you can eat, you must read books and read good books.

Zhao Hong feels very fortunate that he can encounter a variety of different opportunities after being reborn, so that he can continue to learn and progress.

Using the memories of his previous life to cheat, he can obtain a certain amount of wealth, but these spiritual wealth is his greatest gain. Let yourself face the different status and environment more calmly than before.

Zhao Hong is very grateful to Father Li for his teachings, so that he has a new harvest experience. Is that kind of moisturizing and silent education really good?

Don't say that in the early 90s, even decades later, many parents' education methods are still simple and rude, and there are still many ideas and practices of "smoking him if he is disobedient and beating him if he doesn't study well".

Because most people either don't understand the reason, or can't understand the reasons for the child's mistakes, they always ask the child according to the adult's thinking ability, and when the child can't do it or can't do it well, there is only one way, "beating him" is just venting his powerlessness.

Compared with Li's father's education method, it is really a world of difference. Zhao Hong also couldn't help but review many of his shortcomings and learn how to behave and do things.

"I was originally an ordinary ordinary person, if there was no coincidence, if I hadn't been persisting in my efforts, I might just be an ordinary peddler pawn. Survive every day. ”

Zhao Hong also frankly said his thoughts.

"Then where did you get all this money? Although it helped my family solve the problem at hand. But I don't want that to affect your relationship. Father Li said with some concern.

"I earned it myself. Every penny, since his parents were laid off a few years ago, his family was poor, and he developed little by little from scratch. The development is good, but the luck is better, the courage is bigger, and the opportunity is seized. Zhao Hong explained that from picking up rags in junior high school to selling maps last semester, how to accumulate and develop from a few cents, step by step, dozens, hundreds, thousands, and finally tens of thousands of yuan.......

"I'm all a hawker business, and I can only make money for a while, but I can earn it while everyone doesn't react. In the future, Xiaofang will definitely develop very well, maybe Xiaofang's monthly salary is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, this kind of relying on talent to make money is really a long-term solution. ”

Father Li was happy, "I hope Xiaofang can develop." ”

In the afternoon, Li's father and Li Xiaofang's younger brother went out to the market to buy New Year's goods, and let Li Xiaofang stay with Zhao Hong to rest, tomorrow Zhao Hong will be ready to return, this time to take the daytime car, basically empty, comfortable, and much safer. Of course, the price is also higher.

After Li's father and her younger brother went out, Li Xiaofang and Zhao Hong got close to her hut, although they didn't say that they had already agreed to get married, and Comrade Li had already acquiesced to their relationship. Zhao Hong and Li Xiaofang thought that they were going to be separated for a period of time, and it was also very difficult to separate, Li Xiaofang was also responsive to Zhao Hong's requests and was very conniving, and in the end Zhao Hong still kept calm, maintained the last sobriety, and did not break through the final bottom line.

Instead, Li Xiaofang told Zhao Hong, "Actually, we are already engaged, and after accepting your bride price, I will be your person." It's okay to want me today. ”

Zhao Hong looked at the smart and sensible Li Xiaofang distressedly, and said, "Don't care too much about the money, it's really nothing, I like your independence, and every persistence and kindness, don't add psychological burden to yourself." That's not a big deal with money, and it's not a problem that can be solved with money. ”

This time, Li Xiaofang didn't say anything more, and directly started an intimate interaction with Zhao Hongyou. even made some actions that Zhao Hong didn't expect, Zhao Hong didn't stop it, but he enjoyed it too much.

After calming down, Li Xiaofang asked, "Am I your person from today onwards? Zhao Hong nodded like a chicken, "I'm also your person, and you have to be responsible for me." Zhao Hong said with some amusement.

The two of you have been together very quickly, and the time of noon has passed, and her father and brother are about to return.

The two of them happily cooked in the kitchen. Cornmeal mixed with a little white flour makes the wowotou very sweet and delicious. It smells like a delicacy in the world. When the meal was almost ready, the father and son returned, and in addition to the common meat and so on, there were also a few uncommon pheasants.

In the evening, Zhao Hong received a very rich dinner, and the next day he took the pheasants that were ready, and Xiaofang made an appointment to return to school, telling her the phone at home, what could be called, and Zhao Hong happily embarked on the journey home.
