The winter in the south is very cold, and unlike the winter in the north, it is dry and cold, and there are no heating facilities such as air conditioning in the countryside, so it is even colder.

"Lu Tao, after graduating from your school, you will enter PetroChina and Sinopec, right?" Dad Chen took the tongs and dug into the fire under the stove, and the flames suddenly rose a little, and the heat rose all of a sudden.

"Dad, where is the study now like before, direct package distribution, all of them are found by themselves after graduation, and the school will also have a double selection meeting, PetroChina and Sinopec are not so good to enter. Chen Dan sat on the small bench, put his legs together, rubbed his hands and replied.

Originally, he was very tired after taking the car, and Lu Tao also wanted to rest and sleep early, but in the classmate's house, basic politeness was required, and after eating, everyone in the family, except for Chen Dan, treated him as a future son-in-law, and pulled him to sit next to the fire under the stove and chatted.

"Well, Chen Dan is right, now there is no allocation, and there are other majors in Petrochemical University, and many people may not be able to find a job. ”

Lu Tao is telling the truth, his school was indeed very famous in the fifties and sixties, and it was also well-known in China, and now it is necessary to build a comprehensive university, adding a lot of miscellaneous majors, it can be said that the source of students is uneven, and even after graduation, there are many people who can't find a job. The most important point is that it belongs to petroleum colleges, and many students are also petroleum and petrochemical children, and poor people like him were born, unless their grades can be ranked within the top ten of their grade, the chances can be said to be very slim.

Chen's father didn't believe it, in his opinion, those who can be admitted to university are people who are very good at reading, especially in rural areas, many people can graduate from junior high school and thank God, they just suffered the loss of no education, so they worked hard outside to earn money to support their two children to go to school.

What is the picture, isn't it just to not face the loess and turn your back to the sky in the future?

Now that I heard Lu Tao and his daughter say that they would not be distributed, and there were many doorways, I couldn't help but be a little worried.

Lu Tao saw the opportunity quickly and said: "Our school is not very good, but the university that Chen Dan studied is in the front of our Qing City, and she will not worry about finding a good job in the future, and she is studying finance, and it is very easy to enter a bank or something in the future." ”

"Really?" Mother Chen couldn't help frowning when she heard Lu Tao say this. Many people are like this, they don't listen to what their children say, but it's easy to believe what outsiders say, let alone their daughter's classmates?

Lu Tao nodded, and continued with a smile: "The salary of engaging in finance is one of the best in all major industries in China, but it is not like ours. “

"Hehe, I hope so, Xiao Dan, you have to study hard, and you have to help your brother a little in the future. ”

"I see, Dad. ”

"You are not allowed to fall in love at school, you have to focus on studying, and when you find a good job in the future, some of them are slowly picked by your in-laws. For her daughter's work and future, the family is very concerned, and Chen's mother advised.

When Chen Dan heard this, he secretly glanced at Lu Tao, obviously not letting him leak the matter of the person he was talking about too early.

Lu Tao knows that in their place, it is a thing worth showing off if a man talks about a partner in college, but when it comes to girls, it is not a serious job. In the final analysis, the phenomenon of preference for sons over daughters still exists, and the son-in-law, as half of the future family, must be approved by his parents in any case, otherwise once they break up in the future, the gossip of the entire village is absolutely indispensable.

Chen Dan's family is not rich, the house is barely strong, better than Lu Tao's earthen house, although it is built with red bricks, but there are no white tiles on the outside, and there are only two floors in total, the overall area is not large, the family is naturally also burned firewood, raised a few pigs, there are a lot of poultry, as for dogs, there are also some, basically can be said to be the standard configuration of the southwest countryside in this era.

"You go and clean up the room first, there are fewer people at home, it is estimated that there is a layer of dust, it is Xiao Dan's classmate, don't slack off." Father Chen commanded.

"I also want you to say that it has been packed up a long time ago. Chen's mother was still wearing an apron, wiped her hands, stood up and said.

Having said that, I still greeted Lu Tao and said to clean up, this is the hospitality of the countryside.

When Lu Tao first paid for the fare, whether it was Chen's father or Chen Long, they all felt that Lu Tao was a good person, and judging by his posture and bearing, the conditions for coming to the house should not be bad. With such a play, he naturally wondered whether the relationship between his daughter and Lu Tao would develop further, but since he sat around after the meal, the situation at Lu Tao's house was clearly understood, and now he didn't mean to think about that at all.

People are very realistic, not to mention that they dislike the poor and love the rich, but from the perspective of a responsible attitude towards his daughter's lifelong events in the future, Lu Tao in front of him is not a suitable candidate.

The family is an authentic farmer, the geographical conditions are more remote than Jinqiao, in terms of education, the second book is not the same level as the country 211 and 985, in terms of appearance, in addition to Lu Tao's physique that looks quite strong, there is nothing more beautiful than Pan An.

"Uncle, what time is the earliest car from Jinqiao to Xiangshui in the morning?" The etiquette was done, and the things that should be talked about and what should not be talked about were not left behind, and Lu Tao didn't have anything special to say, so he asked about tomorrow's car.

"Now in winter, the morning is late, and tomorrow there will be no market, it is estimated that it will be eight or nine o'clock, if it is summer, there will be a car to Xiangshui at five or six o'clock in the morning. “

"Then I'll go back early tomorrow morning. Lu Tao nodded, in other people's homes, whether they are familiar or not, they always feel a little restrained, which is a habit he has had since he was a child, even if he used to go to his grandmother and aunt's house, he had such a feeling.

"Brother, tomorrow my grandmother's birthday, why don't you have lunch before leaving. It was Chen Dan's younger brother Chen Long who spoke, and it was rare for someone in the family to be the same age as his sister, and he always felt a little kind, and when he heard that Lu Tao planned to leave early tomorrow morning, he couldn't help but speak.

Chen Dan glared at his younger brother on the side: I know that my grandmother has a birthday, and I really want to keep someone at home. This is only one aspect, and the other point is that if you really want to keep him, it is estimated that Lu Tao will have to send money, and it will be difficult to say in the future.

"My parents are probably in a hurry, so I'd better go back early. Lu Tao smiled and replied.

A few people chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was not early, Chen's mother came in with a large plastic basin from outside the house and put it on the ground: "It's not too early, I have to be busy tomorrow, wash my feet first and go to bed early." ”

The countryside is not as particular as the city, and when there are guests at home, washing is also very distinctive.

"Wash your face first. ”

A pink towel was handed over: "Lu Tao, you wash it first." ”

Washing his face was in a separate small basin, and the towel inside still had a faint aroma, Lu Tao had already guessed that this was used by Chen Dan.

"Yes. ”

After washing the face, the water cannot be poured directly away, but poured into the previous large basin, and after several people have washed it in turn, there is already a lot of water in the large basin.

"Let's wash together, or the water will be cold in a while. Chen's father said.

"Yes, I quickly washed up and went to bed while it was hot. Chen Long coaxed on the side. When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, many people wash their feet at home.

Suddenly, taking off the socks and taking off the socks, and the trousers were flirting with the trouser legs, a few feet stretched directly into the basin, and the soles of one foot rubbed against the instep of the other foot, and I didn't care who touched whom, so I washed it inside.

Chen Dan's feet are very white, and they look particularly dazzling in the basin, Lu Tao has touched them several times, and the moment the soles of his feet touch the instep, he feels slightly wonderful.

Needless to say, Dad Chen is willing to wash it until a few people finish washing, and people who work every day always have smelly feet and feel embarrassed.

As for Chen Long and his own sister, there is no evasion, the sister and brother have not seen each other for a long time, but you kicked me and I kicked you inside, which provoked Chen's mother to say a few words to the two of them.

This home is very warm.

Lu Tao thought in his heart.
