After Li Yulan's father heard this, he hung his head on his chest and said in a choked voice: "Hey, Teacher Zhang, I understand what you said, but I only blame me for not having any ability, and I can't afford Yulan to read the book!" ”

Li Yulan, who was standing not far away, saw her father blaming herself so much, so she whimpered and said: "Dad, don't feel uncomfortable, you have done enough for this family, every time there is something delicious at home, you give me and my brother to eat, but you just drink a few mouthfuls of porridge to fill your stomach, and you get up every day at dawn to go to the field to weed and fertilize, I see all this, you are the most bitter person in our family." ”

When Li Yulan's father heard Li Yulan say this, his whole person became even more uncomfortable, he felt ashamed of his daughter Yulan, and he shouldn't let her drop out of school and go home, and said with sobs: "Yulan, good boy, then you just listen to what Teacher Zhang said, go study hard!" Dad thought about it, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we have to provide you with books, Dad has suffered a lifetime of cultural losses in his life, but I can't let you suffer this loss anymore. ”

After Li Yulan heard this, her whole person whimpered and sobbed, and said secretly in her heart: "Dad, don't worry! Magnolia will not disgrace you...... Li Yulan gave up the plan to drop out of school and go home to help the family live a good life, and began to return to Hope Primary School to study, she is a girl with perseverance and determination, decided to be admitted to a good university, and find a good job in the future, so as to repay her father and family. ”

Since then, Li Yulan has not participated in any extracurricular activities in school, including physical education classes, and has only buried herself in mathematics, physics and chemistry after queuing up.

In order to let Li Yulan devote herself to her studies without scruples, Zhang Shaoping privately paid part of his monthly salary to supplement Li Yulan's family, he couldn't bear to watch such a talented child delay for a lifetime because of lack of money.

The bleak autumn wind swept the leaves on the ground, making people feel sad, but looking at the golden rice in the fields looked very happy in comparison.

Li Xiang and An Yuran both graduated from medical universities and worked in the county hospital, Li Xiang's father sat in his own house to enjoy the shade, and considered his son Li Xiang's marriage, after all, Li Xiang has also reached the age of marriage, and he has to find a family affair for his doll.

The first thing he thought of was none other than An Yuran, the daughter of An Guobang, the director of the Education Bureau, Yuran was also the one he grew up watching, he liked the girl Yuran very much, and hoped that this girl could become his daughter-in-law.

He felt that he should not be idle at home, he should go to Director An's house to say goodbye to his son Li Xiang, after all, Li Xiang and An Yuran have reached the age of marriage, he estimated that Director An should not refuse, in order to give this matter a decision, he cleaned up, and took his son Li Xiang to An Guobang's house with a gift.

After a while, Li Xiang and his son came to An Guobang's house, at this moment An Yuran was cooking in the kitchen, and An Guobang was sitting on the sofa alone entertaining Li Xiang's father and son.

Not long after Li Xiang's father sat up, he gestured to An Guobang for a few words, and said, "Director An, now that this Yuran has grown up, you can be regarded as enjoying Qingfu." ”

An Guobang smiled and said, "Director Li, you're not bad, your son Li Xiang is also working in the county hospital, it's not a good day!" ”

"Yes, yes, but Li Xiang has grown up this child, it's time to find him a family affair, if I'm not mistaken, Yuran should also be of the age of marriage!"

An Guobang smiled: "Yes! I just happened to be of legal age for marriage! ”

"Director An, I think so, Li Xiang and Yuran have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and they have no guesses, and now that they have grown up, it's time to think about the relationship between the two dolls, what do you think?"

This...... An Guobang said hesitantly: "Director Li, I can't be the master of this child's marriage, I have to make my own decision!" ”

"Director An laughed, this has been the order of parents since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker, as long as you agree here, the child will also agree."

"Director Li, your ideological consciousness still needs to be improved! Now that marriage is free, you can't learn from those feudal ideas in ancient times. ”

After hearing this, Li Xiang's father hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, yes, then I ask Yu Ran what he thinks, it should be okay!" ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as Yuran is willing, I don't have any opinion on this."

Just as An Guobang and Li Xiang were chatting, An Yuran came over with the dishes, and Li Xiang's father smiled at Yuran and said, "Yuran! Uncle asked you something, what do you think of Li Xiang? ”

An Yuran knew that it would definitely be a good thing for Li Xiang and his father to come to the house as guests, but in order to take care of his father An Guobang's face, he said forcibly: "Uncle, Li Xiang is smart and capable, rich in learning, handsome and chic......"

As soon as An Yuran's words fell, Li Xiang's father asked: "Since you think Li Xiang is so good, are you willing to marry Li Xiang!" ”

In order not to refute his face, An Yuran said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I'm still young, so don't think about this matter first." ”

"Yuran! It's not small, it's not small, I remember that Li Xiang and I were sixteen or seventeen years old when we got married, and now you and Li Xiang have reached the age of marriage, which is completely in line with the country's marriage law. ”

"Uncle Li, thank you for your kindness, but I have a boyfriend, Li Xiang is so good, he will definitely find a good girl, but it will never be me." After An Yuran finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Li Xiang's father felt a little shameless, but it was difficult to say anything, after all, An Guobang was still sitting beside him.

In order to save his face, An Guobang said with a smile: "Director Li! This woman is not in the middle! Yuran seems to really have a boyfriend, so ...... about this?"

"Director An, since Yuran said that he has a boyfriend, then I won't ask, after all, the child has his own ideas, only blame Li Xiang for not having this blessing and not being able to marry Yuran."

"Director Li, you are serious, Li thinks that this kid is really good, and he will definitely find a good girl."

Li Xiang, who was sitting on the side, heard An Yuran reject him, he knew in his heart that the boyfriend Yuran was talking about was none other than Zhang Shaoping, a classmate of their high school class, he hated Zhang Shaoping to death in his heart, and he wished to break him into pieces.

After Li Xiang's father and son had dinner at An Guobang's house, they hurried away, An Guobang called Yuran to his side and said, "Yuran, is what you said to Li Xiang's father just now true?" Do you have a boyfriend? Or do you not like Li Xiang, deliberately telling lies! ”

"Dad, it's true, I have a boyfriend, and you know this person."

An Guobang was a little confused, and said suspiciously: "Who is it!" I still know? ”

"Dad, don't you remember? I also came to our house when I was in high school. ”

"You can't be talking about Zhang Shaoping's kid, right?"

"Well, Dad, it's him, he's the one I've always liked, and as for Li Xiang, I'm not interested in him at all."

"Okay, good, good, you can grasp this aspect of the relationship yourself, Dad can't say it, since you said that Zhang Shaoping is your boyfriend, then find a chance to let him come to the house for a meal or something, I can also talk to him."

An Yuran said shyly: "Dad, there is nothing to be said about this!" Why are you in a hurry to let him come to see your old man! ”

"Yuran! There is one thing that Director Li said just now is correct, that is, you should reach the age of marriage, and it is time to think about your life's events. ”

"Dad, don't worry, it's okay to think about it later."

"Yuran! This man can be dragged along, but once a woman is older, after that flower-like age, it will be even more difficult to get married. ”

"Dad, why did you start to think feudal, now that you are free to marry, it's nothing to get married a few years later, and besides, I'm also responding to the country's family planning."

"Hey, Yuran has grown up, Dad can't tell you anymore, but you have to find a chance to let Zhang Shaoping come to our house for dinner, and I can help you check it."

An Yuran knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she smiled and said, "Okay, good, good, Dad, when I'm busy for the next few days, I'll talk to him and let him take the time to come and see you." ”

By the way, this is like a word, An Guobang continued with a smile: "By the way, Yuran, where does Zhang Shaoping work now?" ”

"Dad, Shaoping, he teaches at that Hope Primary School in Zhangjia Village!"

"This college student is not assigned a job now, why did he go to the countryside to become a teacher? Even if you want to teach, you should come to the county seat. ”

"Dad, Shaoping originally had the opportunity to stay in the province to teach, but he felt that he could study in college because of the cultivation of this land, and he wanted to come back and contribute to his hometown."

"Yuran! You are a little flat on the left and a little flat on the right, and you are not shy! ”

"Dad, what do you say! Besides, I'll ignore you. ”

"Okay, good, good, Dad won't make fun of you, but listening to what you said, I want to meet this Zhang Shaoping even more, this kid will definitely be able to do great things in the future."

"Dad, it's not too early, so you can rest early! I'm going to work at the hospital tomorrow! ”

"Okay, okay, okay, let's rest early!"

The cool breeze at night is blowing, making people feel cool, An Yuran is lying quietly on the head of the bed, his eyes are staring at the ceiling from time to time with a hint of a smile, how he wishes that time flies quickly, so that he can see Shaoping again, after all, he has never seen Shaoping since graduating from high school, originally Shaoping promised her, take the train to see her, but the creation makes people, Shaoping is busy with it, and there is no time to see her, the two of them have been in college for four years through letters and mails to tell their hearts.

However, she did not feel discouraged, after all, love that truly stands the test of time can become the happiest marriage.
