"Xiaocao'er, what are you doing here alone? We're going to eat all the peanuts. ”

The little aunt Yunxiu got up and took the thermos and prepared to add water to everyone's cups, and saw the eldest niece holding her cheeks alone and was stunned and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Little aunt, I also want to drink tea, you can pour me a cup quickly."

Yun Feng looked at the kettle in his little aunt's hand and remembered that he hadn't drunk water for a while. She licked her lips and then said coquettishly:

"I still have to eat peanuts. You shall not finish eating, but leave it to me. ”

"Okay, okay, wait."

Yun Xiu was busy adding water to the elders sitting on the long wooden sofa next to the coffee table.

"Xiaocao'er, you Miss Jiao, you have raised you so old and asked your little aunt to pour you tea, don't you pour it for your little aunt? She carried you to the vegetable garden since she was a child, but she was pressed short by you, and you didn't treat her better? ”

The third uncle, Yun Jin, laughed at her when he heard Yun Feng being coquettish.

"That is, all the delicious food at home is left for you to eat, and you don't want to pour a glass of water for your uncles?"

Although the little uncle Yunyi is slurred, he loves to talk very much, and while spitting melon seed shells on the ground, he also coaxed himself, the little sun niece who has been spoiled by his family since she was a child.

"Oh, Xiaocao'er, do you remember when you were a child, your grandmother asked you to go to your grandmother's house together, and you said, 'I'll go after I finish eating peanuts', and at that time, you were a little longer than your grandmother's arm."

Yun Feng's grandmother also came over in the morning to visit relatives at another family in Yunjia Village, and after lunch, she came to Yun Feng's grandmother's house to visit Yun Feng and everyone together.

After Grandma Yun Feng finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh with Grandma Yun Feng:

"This time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the little doll with the height of a small bench has grown so big."

"It's not, it's really hard to raise and educate these adults, it's really not easy!"

Grandma Yun Feng also sighed. With this emotion, the two old men lifted their clothes and wiped the corners of their eyes, and their eyes turned red.

"Oh, you old ladies, isn't it a joy for a child to grow up? The New Year's Eve is chattering with this god, don't say it if you can't say it. “

The third uncle, Yunjin, has always spoken loudly and straightforwardly, and when he saw that the two old men were going to be sad at an inopportune time, he hurriedly stopped them.

Yun Feng was still sitting alone at the high round table, holding his cheeks, listening to the topics and emotions of the elders in the family because of him with a smile.

"Here you go."

The little aunt Yun Xiu brought a cup of hot water, and pulled some peanuts fried by Yun Feng's grandmother from the big plastic basin on the coffee table into a small plate and put them in front of Yun Feng.

"Auntie, I want to eat that saltwater peanut over there."

Yun Feng pointed to a large bag of peanuts in a plastic bag in the cabinet, and begged delicately, like a four-year-old child begging for candy from an adult.

Yun Xiu glared at her, then happily took a small plate and put some salted peanuts in front of Yun Feng, and said to her precious eldest niece with an angry emphasis:

"Little Ancestor, it's all in front of you!"

"Empress, you are a female emperor."

The little uncle Yun Yi sat next to him and continued to spit melon seeds, while also treating himself as an elder and laughing and scolding at his eldest niece.

"Aunt, sit down, I want to talk to you."

Yun Feng made a mischievous grimace at his little uncle Yun Yi, and then pulled the arm of the little aunt Yun Xiu, who had released the peanut and turned to leave, and begged again.

"Gee, you're exploiting my labor and my time. You're a kid, what do you have to talk about seriously? ”

In Yunxiu's eyes, although she is only five years older than this niece, she and everyone else unanimously treat her as a child.

"Aunt, do you regret that you didn't go to high school back then?"

Yun Feng asked such a question coldly.

"What are the regrets, the family was poor and couldn't go to school, and high school was not as popular as the secondary school teacher at that time, and it was the least important, at that time, where did I dare to think about going to college, it would be good to finish junior high school. Especially girls. ”

Yun Xiu said in a low voice.

She didn't want her little brother Yunyi, who was sitting on the bench next to the couch, to hear it. Back then, it was because the family didn't let Yun Yi continue to study in junior high school, but later the little sister Yun Xiu went to a key junior high school, that is, Yun Feng's alma mater No. 1 Middle School, Yun Yi couldn't hold back in one breath, I'm afraid his epilepsy is also related to this.

Yun Feng knew what the little aunt said, not to mention that when the aunt graduated from junior high school, the children in both rural towns were vying to take the secondary school or secondary school teacher, that is, when she graduated from junior high school, it was already ninety-seven years, and the girls still favored the middle school teacher, and the boys were better and still pinned their hopes on the secondary school.

Yun Feng remembered that several of the top 30 students in his class were admitted to the middle school because of their family's financial reasons.

Yun Feng also remembered that his parents also hoped that he would be admitted to the middle school, but somehow, he was thinking in his heart that he had sown the seeds of being admitted to the highest university like Tsinghua University and Peking University in his childhood, and he refused to spend enough effort to be admitted to the middle school, and the result was naturally that she was admitted to the high school of this school as she wished.

"I was admitted to high school back then, and if I was in high school, I guess it would be the same as it is now."

Yun Xiu couldn't help but sigh lightly, her eyelids drooped, and Yun Feng didn't see how regretful the little aunt was when she sighed slightly.

"It's true that education is really important."

Yun Feng couldn't help but sigh lightly.

She also knew that those few top girls who were admitted to the municipal middle school were elated when they were admitted, and they didn't know until they were about to graduate in the third year that from their current year, the middle school graduates were no longer allocated. Although there are also those who have gone to the township central primary school as intern teachers through their family connections, it is not easy to enter the establishment.

Two years later, in the late 90s and early 21st century, that is, Yun Feng's generation, happened to be under the policy of no longer allocating college graduates. The economy is marketized, and so is employment.

Therefore, the reform and opening up that began in 1978, with the opening of the country, the changes in policies and systems, and the development of those frontiers of reform and opening up, especially the development of Guangzhou and the rise of Shenzhen, brought about great changes in the economy and life in the outside world, and brought about subversive changes in people's concepts. The conceptual changes brought about by this kind of economic life in the city have also spread to villages and towns like Yunjia Village.

At least migrant workers with no knowledge can work in the city much faster than they earn from farming, and people who have graduated from junior high school or secondary vocational and technical schools are many times better at working as clerks, sales, or buying and selling small commodities than in primary schools or township enterprises.

These young people, who have seen the changes, have enthusiastically thrown themselves into the economic construction of large, medium, and small cities. Of course, they are more eager and expectant for a new life different from their parents, and they are also eager and expected for higher income and even higher ability.
