Chapter 010: Shengyang persuades Shengli to continue her studies
Shengyang received the letter, and after settling his salary that day, he bought a train ticket and rushed home. At that time, people who went out to work came back as newsmakers, with long curly hair, leather jackets, jeans or bell bottoms, and a pair of sunglasses. It's just that Shengyang is still wearing a plain suit, a tunic suit, liberation shoes, a thin man, tidying up, never showing off in front of people, and he returned in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring gifts to his family.
Shengli watched her second brother come back, so she ran to hug him, Shengyang didn't care about being hot with her, and asked her to tell her what happened. Sheng Li said coquettishly, "Second brother, I don't blame me for this matter, but if you don't read it, you won't read it." Second brother, take me out, I also have to earn money to support my family. ”
"Nonsense! I can afford to raise this family, and we will go to the principal tomorrow to see if we can save it. "Shengyang said very seriously, small things can be forgiven, and big things must not be messed around.
"The principal has been suspended for investigation, and the anonymous letter was written by me, so this book is completely unreadable." After Shengli's letter went to the district, he sent people to investigate Principal Yuan and Zhu Yougui the next day.
"I said Shengli, you are the only hope for this family, why are you so unlucky!" Shengyang stared at her, this matter is all her fault, a student should be like a student, what does the adult's business have to do with her, salty and radish are not worried.
"It's not right for them to open my letter, second brother, what's the good of studying. You also graduated from elementary school, and now look at it, our family has one of the best days. "Shengli admires the second brother very much, and the money she earns every year is not only expenses, but also savings. But the neighbor's children, because they are illiterate, either the female baby is married to a poor bastard, or the male baby can't marry a daughter-in-law. At this point, she is already superior, and besides, she is not stupid.
"If you are still a minor, you should study hard in school, so let's go to a farther school, you must be admitted to high school, and then go to university." Shengyang thought about it, it really couldn't work, so he went to the county to study.
"Our family still has luck, and he is about to go to school soon, and he is a boy again, so he can read as much as he wants. Besides, I earn money for him to study, so I can always do it. I don't want to go to the county seat, where it costs a lot of money, and when the time comes, someone won't talk badly. "Reading in the district is talked about, so if you go to the county seat, the eldest lady is estimated to go crazy.
"I've decided to leave the rest alone!" He frowned, the eldest lady has a hard mouth, and if he insists, it is not easy to object. Shengli didn't believe that he had such courage, and he lost to his eldest mother every time.
"Forget it, don't embarrass you, I didn't expect you to rush back from Shanxi specifically for me, blame me." Although it is not easy, the money that can be earned is really enviable.
"If you really don't want to read, then learn a technique, learn how to barber. In the future, I will pay for you to open a barber shop, so that you will have a craft to make a living. "It's okay for Shengli to think about it, go out to work, no one dares to accept it if she is not old enough.
Shengyang thinks that reading can change his fate, but in his family, this hope is completely disappointed. The nephew is smart, fat as a barrel, and loves to laugh like Katsuo, I don't know what the future holds, but after all, it's the next generation's business.
Shengyang prepared a table of dishes, the whole family was reunited, Shengli felt that the dishes made by the second brother were the best meals, but it was a pity that he went out, otherwise he would open a restaurant in the district, and the business would definitely be hot.
The eldest lady kept picking vegetables for Qiyun, and Shengyang just suggested: "Children, don't be overnourished." Also, don't let your sister-in-law hold him all the time, let him move more, which is good for his growth. ”
"I know that someone gave you a small report, we have suffered enough, we can't let the children of this generation suffer. If they catch up with the good society, they should be blessed. The eldest lady glanced at Shengli, no wonder her parents threw away such a bad girl.
"Auntie, you think everyone is just like you, two-faced and three-faced. Qiyun eats so much meat at every meal, it's no wonder if he is not fat, and the second brother can tell right from wrong. Shengli said bluntly, Qiyun gulped in Sister-in-law Chen's arms, as if she couldn't understand what the adults were arguing about, and Sister-in-law Chen didn't understand.
"In the future, when I make money outside, you will be responsible for taking care of the family, and life will always get better. I didn't know what a wonderful world was until I got out of the mountains, and I went to dig coal because I didn't have knowledge. I often see miners dying, and I am actually quite scared. "Although life is better than before, this is a life exchange, I hope she can understand.
"Then if you change industries, I heard that construction workers are also very profitable, and digging coal is dark, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all. But it's good to build a house and see that you have a share of the credit for building a tall building. Sheng Li said this, Sheng Yang smiled on his face, knowing in his heart that construction and coal digging are the lowest jobs, how can there be such a noble idea, whoever gives money will do it.
"If I change industries, can you think about going to study again, rest assured, in addition to tuition and living expenses, I also promise to buy you your favorite song tapes, all of which are Fei Xiang and the Little Tigers, okay?" He is still a little unbearable, once he is out of society, the environment has changed, and it is too late for anything. The eldest lady's teeth were clattering, everyone compromised, why bother to persuade each other, I can't wait to lift the table.
"Why are you here again, my education is already highly educated in the team, you see whose girl has been studying for a few days." Shengli didn't want to change her mind, so the eldest lady hurriedly said that it was, but Shengli ignored it.
"But there are a lot of delicious and fun things in the county, as long as you go to study, I will mail more living expenses." He persuaded a little heartache, if time could be turned back, he would definitely choose to study without hesitation.
The eldest lady was so angry that she threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the whole table was frightened, "I got angry when I heard it, Shengyang, what obligation do you have to provide for her?" Shengli, what qualifications do you have to let others provide for you, you are an abandoned baby, waste, garbage, and shameless? ”
Shengli looked at the angry lady, tears rolling in her eyes. Shengyang asked the eldest mother not to say this, and the eldest mother pointed at him with her fingers and trembled, meaning that he was too stupid. Foundling? Shengli originally wanted to make money to support her family, but since this is the case, she is not happy, why not do it.
"Okay, just go to the county seat, I still want Teresa Teng's song tape, don't mess your fingers in the back." She said this deliberately, and the eldest lady stood up and pointed at Shengyang's face and smashed a few fingers, she really hated that iron could not become steel. Shengli grabbed her hand fiercely, and said not to smash the second brother's fingers, but the eldest mother saw Shengli holding her hand and took the opportunity to scold.
"You wild bastard, what are you, sprinkle here!" scolded and slapped Shengli with his other hand, but Shengyang didn't stop it and landed on her face. Shengyang saw that she was carrying tears and clenched her fists, afraid that she would fight back, so he separated their hands and asked the eldest mother not to object anymore, and no one was allowed to mix his ideas. Seeing that she was fighting Shengli, Qin's mother immediately ran into the firewood room and picked up a scimitar and rushed over, Shengyang saw her mother holding a knife, and was busy stopping her mother from doing anything.
The scene was chaotic, Father Zheng was in a hurry that he had no authority to speak, and no one would listen to him, so he stood up and grabbed Qin's mother. Shengnan was squatting in the aisle to eat, and when he heard the noise, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and rushed in to pull away Sister-in-law Chen and Qiyun, hugged the eldest lady from behind, and asked her not to beat Shengli, he had no money for her to study, but he was ideologically supportive. The eldest lady was ready to kick Shengli with her feet, and Shengnan took her out of the door, as powerful as a cow, worthy of her reputation, and the weight of the eldest lady could not be carried away by anyone except him.
The eldest lady was not pleasing left and right, standing on the edge of the courtyard dam, jumping up and scolding at the sky, saying that the sky was blind and let a wild girl ride on her head. Some of the people in the yard walked out of the gate to look, and some held their heads through the cracks in the windows to look out, this family, as long as Shengli came back, there would be no quiet day.
Shengli hugged her mother and cried, she was not her own, but she could always protect her, even if it was for her mother, she had to study and become her pride. Father Zheng watched Shengyang sit there with his head in his hands, and the feeling that he didn't know how to open his mouth to comfort him made him feel very guilty, all the disasters he had today were caused by him.
