Remember [Flag] in a second, popular free reading!
"Mother, I heard that Xiao Nian's in-laws are going to hold a banquet for Xiao Nian tomorrow to celebrate her admission to college, is it true?" On the morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, Li Zhi took advantage of her father's absence and secretly ran over to ask Wu Lihuadao.
"Yes, tomorrow morning, his eldest brother came to the house yesterday to inform." Wu Lihua nodded and said.
"Then Daddy is going over tomorrow?" Li Zhi then asked.
"He likes Xie Xiaonian's dead girl so much now, he will definitely pass, and he said that he would take 10 yuan as a gift money, he really can't help himself, and he doesn't look at what conditions the family is, he has a swollen face and is fat, see if he spends all the money, what will the family eat in the future." Wu Lihua said complainingly.
Now Dabao hardly sends money to his home, and his family's life is not as comfortable as before.
"10 bucks? That's a lot, then mother, you will follow you tomorrow, why don't you have to eat the gift money back. Li Zhi came up with an idea.
"I want to go too, but your father won't let me go, I can't help it, and with so much money, I can't eat it back." Wu Lihua gritted her teeth and said.
"My dad must be afraid that you will say something bad when the time comes, and it will ruin Xiao Nian's good deeds, so he won't let you go, but even if you can't eat it back, we can't suffer a loss, isn't Zhang Hao also admitted to university, let's just hold a banquet too, and also notify their family, so that their family will return the gift money that my father took." Li Zhi said with an idea.
"You are a married daughter, not the son of the family, even if you hold a banquet, their family will not come, and do you have the money to hold a banquet?" Wu Lihua asked rhetorically.
"As long as we notify his family, they will definitely come, but I really don't have any money at home, or you can help me pay for a banquet, college students are so rare, there must be a lot of people who come to our house to talk to us, and there will be no less gifts, and when I receive the gift, I will return the money to you, do you say okay?" Li Zhi asked Wu Lihua expectantly.
"The money in the family is all taken by your father, how can I have the money to hold a banquet for you, and even if I give you a banquet, the money may not be recovered, the people in the brigade are not rich, like your father to take money, it must be a minority, when the time comes, one by one, only bring two handfuls of vegetables or a few eggs, and the things you take are not enough to eat yourself, so you are not more likely to lose!" Wu Lihua said analytically.
At this time, no matter what is going on at someone's house, when they go, they usually take some eggs and brown sugar or the like, and very few give money.
"If you take something, I'll cook directly with their things, and if you take the money, I'll put it away, and when the time comes, I'll make the banquet worse, and there will definitely be a surplus, mother, do you say it?" Li Zhi said without giving up.
"What's the balance, Da Mang's family just held a banquet two days ago, you go to inquire, see how much money his family has lost, the people in the brigade have no oil and water in their stomachs, and they will definitely open their bellies to eat at that time, even if your banquet is bad, you will definitely lose money, and if it is too bad, the people in the village will definitely chew the root of their tongues." Wu Lihua said affirmatively.
Because Xie Damang received the notice, his father held a banquet for him a few days ago, and there were many people who came at that time, and his family spent a lot of money.
"Okay, I still want to make a fortune while holding a banquet, so that I can keep it for Zhang Hao to go to school to spend, it seems that this time it will be in the soup, but the family has no money, what can Zhang Hao do when he goes to school." Li Zhi said unhappily.
"I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, and if you want to rely on holding a banquet to receive gifts to make up for Zhang Hao's tuition, it is simply impossible. If you really don't have any money, you can go to the team and ask to see if you can borrow some out, and our team will only be admitted to college, and the team must also have something to say! Wu Lihua guessed.
"Will the team be willing to take the money out for nothing, even if the cadres agree, the villagers will definitely not agree." Li Zhi said suspiciously.
"Zhang Hao was admitted to the university and won such a great honor for our team, so let the team shed a little blood, the members should be willing, after all, if the money is not spent on this, it will definitely be spent by the cadres elsewhere, and it will not be shared with them. Why don't you go to the team and ask, even if you don't get the money in the end, then there is no loss, and this is just enough to let the team know that your family is short of money, so that you can borrow money from the team. Wu Lihua came up with an idea.
"That's okay, mother, you help me watch the child, I'll go to the team and ask." After listening to her mother's words, Li Zhi immediately put down the child and ran to the captain's house.
Her mother is right, even if you don't get the money in the end, it's just a matter of words, if you can really get the money, then you will make a lot of money.
"Captain, my husband was admitted to university, did he win glory for our team? I've heard that in our entire commune, I didn't get a few college students. As soon as Li Zhi arrived at the captain's house, he immediately spoke.
"It's to bring glory to the team, but what is the matter with you here?" The captain asked suspiciously.
"Captain, you also know that my family's situation has not been very good, and if it weren't for my mother's help, my children and I would have starved to death. Although Zhang Hao was admitted to university, his family couldn't even pay for his travel to school, so I thought that since Zhang Hao won glory for the team, should the team give some rewards so that he could have money to report to the school. Captain, don't worry, when he finishes his studies in the future and has the ability, he will definitely repay the team and will not forget your kindness. Li Zhi said poorly.
"Our brigade has been admitted to 5 at once, if it is only given to you and not to others, it will be too unreasonable, but if they are all given, how can the brigade have so much funds!" The captain refused.
"Wei Fang and Li Pearl have already left our team, even if they send money, they will definitely not be able to send it to the three of them, and the only ones left are Zhang Hao and Xie Damang, Xie Damang's family is in good condition, and they definitely don't need the team's money, don't you say?" Li Zhi said analytically.
"Let's not talk about the three who left, let's just say Zhang Hao and Xie Damang, this money is a reward rather than relief, so no matter what the conditions of Damang's family are, it will be sent."
The relationship between the captain and Xie Damang's father has always been very good, and there are still some small relatives, there are profitable things, how could he be willing to ignore Xie Damang's family.
Several cadres in their brigade had discussed before that they would send a towel or porcelain jar to each of the people in the team who were admitted to university, but now that Li Zhi had found it, it was necessary for him to discuss it with other cadres again to see whether to give them something or give them the money to buy things directly.
"Our brigade is so big, and we harvest so much food every year, even if both families distribute it, it will definitely be able to get it, and we can also encourage the children in the brigade to study hard." Li Zhi saw that the captain was loose, and hurriedly answered.
"If the brigade doesn't give a reward, then I can only borrow money from the brigade, go to college, eat and spend money, my second child is still young, I can't work hard, the brigade has to lend me at least 100 yuan, otherwise, our family will really not survive, then I can only squat at the door of your house every day, eat at your house." Li Zhi went on to say scoundrelly.
"What's the use of you squatting in my house, this brigade is not up to me, you go back first, I will discuss this matter with the other cadres in the brigade, and then make a decision, and I will inform you when the time comes." When encountering such a scoundrel, the captain also had a headache, so he could only drag his way.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the captain." Li Zhi heard what the captain said, and immediately said happily.
In order to force the captain to commit a crime, after Li Zhi came out of the captain's house, whenever he met people in the village, he would tell them that the team had decided to reward those in the village who were admitted to university.
He also exaggerated that the captain and the cadres in the brigade are all good people, for the sake of the members, if there is a problem at home in the future, you can go to them to borrow money, they are all good cadres of the people, and so on.
When there is no difficulty, even when they first heard that the brigade was going to give money to those who were admitted to university, they were a little unhappy, but when they heard that they could borrow money from the brigade if they were in difficulty, they were more happy than opposed, and the money in the brigade would not be sent to them anyway, and with such a promise, it was better than anything else.
The cadres in the brigade finally had a hard time riding a tiger, so they could only apply to the commune, and after approval, they gave Zhang Hao and Xie Damang 20 yuan each as a bonus, of course, these are all afterthoughts.
What happened in her hometown, Xie Xiaonian didn't know, after she sent the three of them to the kindergarten, she was busy preparing the things needed to start school, waiting for the start of school.
"Xiao Nian, you're going to start school tomorrow, are you ready for anything, and are you still missing?" On the first night of school, Luo Changsong asked Xie Xiaonian.
"It's all ready, there's nothing missing, and I don't live in school, so I just need to prepare some things for class."
"That's good, are you sure you won't let me deliver it tomorrow?" Luo Changsong confirmed again.
"No need to send it, I can do it alone."
"Okay, I've prepared a school gift for you and the loyal army, and I'll go back to the house and bring it to you." Luo Changsong continued with a smile.
"What kind of gift? When you prepared it, I don't know. Xie Xiaonian said in surprise.
"Of course it's a good thing, give it, take it apart and take a look." After Luo Changsong took the things out of the house, he handed them to Xie Xiaonian and said mysteriously.
"Mom, open it up, I want to see what kind of gift it is." As soon as he heard that it was a gift, Tang Yuan immediately said excitedly.
"Okay, Mom, let's tear it down."
"What is this? Or iron? Pancake saw that after Xie Xiaonian opened the small cloth bag, two round iron guys were revealed inside, so he asked suspiciously.
