If you can't understand this article, it proves that you are not a rural person, and you don't know the despair of rural people for the countryside, let alone the hatred of rural people for the countryside.

We don't talk about house prices here, we only talk about people.

(Ahem, no, it's just about life.) ）

The poor second child is looked down upon by the people of the entire Xianji Town, and it is not a matter of a year or two. It all started in the year his son got married.

The poor second is not a nickname, but his real name, his surname is poor, the second in line, he himself always says that he is the descendant of the ancient general Poor Ziyou, but after being a general, he has mixed to this point, and it is indeed not very revealing to the general.

As the name suggests, the poor old two are really poor.

It's the kind of poverty that beggars pass by his door and don't want to look in.

However, the reason why the poor second child was looked down upon by the people in the village was not because he was poor, but because he was not only poor, but also did something particularly despicable.

That is, for the sake of his only son, he lost the bottom line of being a man.

Poor, this word that often deals with croppers.

I also learned the ins and outs of this incident later, and my previous impression of the poor second child has always stayed in the fact that others are very realistic, work hard to do crop work, and are really rural people.

The people in the village are honest and honest, most of them are like this.

It wasn't until later that his son was about to get married, and this ordinary farmer fell into an unprecedented embarrassment.

The poor second child has a son, called the poor little girl, he is full of hope for his son, and is determined to train the poor child into a generation out of poverty, the so-called poor no more than three generations, probably taken from this meaning.

However, there was a reason, when the poor little girl finally brought the object back home stupidly through n blind dates, the poor second child was instantly stumped.

Although the woman is not good-looking, she is ugly but thinks very perfectly, she flaunts the standard marriage in the nearby towns, not only to ask for a building and a car, but also to make a bride price of 200,000 yuan, otherwise she will be separated from the poor girl.

For the woman, this requirement is actually very normal, because it is not just a family that is married, they all compare with each other, and no one wants to be looked down upon by others. What's more, the bride price is also an old custom that has existed since ancient times, but the amount is not what it used to be, and there is a slight deviation.

Moreover, for a large family, 200,000 is nothing, but after all, this is just an ordinary village.

This is difficult for the poor second child, an old farmer and his wife do not eat or drink, and their annual income is only more than 40,000 yuan, and they can't afford to buy a car, so how can they buy a house.

There is no way to pass on the lineage without a daughter-in-law, how can it bear fruit if it does not bloom, and there will be no poor four poor five or something.

In a hurry, the poor family urgently convened a family meeting that had not been held for more than 10 years.

At the conference, the first to speak was the poor second person who was the homepage of the household register. Generous and impassioned.

"Son, you know the situation of our family, the conditions are not very good, I calculated with your mother, I have saved a total of 130,000 yuan in the past few decades, you can find a remote place to buy a house is not a thing, this 130,000 is enough for a down payment, and it is enough to repay a one-year loan. As for the car mentioned, your father and I have no ability, let's talk about it later, but we will definitely buy it for you, and there is a bride price for you to discuss with your object, let's do it less, we are not a landlord and old money, and we have to live in the future, my old couple are almost 100 years old, even if they borrow usury, it is not enough to pay it back. ”

The poor second child rubbed his calloused old hands, his tone and proportion were quite in place, and his attitude was very modest, and the emphasis on no money was more clear, almost exhausting his lifelong talent that he could use at the elementary school level.

The poor second child was almost in tears, and he felt that if he were a son, he would definitely move himself.

After finishing speaking, the poor second child stared at the poor little boy tightly with those pertinent old eyes, hoping to get his son's understanding and praise.

However, the poor boy did not seem to buy his father's account.

"Dad, how difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law now, you don't know it, the car and the house must be there before marriage, as for the 200,000 dowry, you can borrow it when you get old, and we will pay it back together!" said the poor little girl indignantly.

These words made the poor second child feel like sitting on pins and needles, God is hungry and blind sparrows, but who will hurt the old peasant.

Where to borrow? It's easy to say.

The poor second child has never borrowed a lot of money from someone in his life, although three hundred and five hundred have been borrowed, but they are all repaid every other month, the people of Xianji Town pay the most attention to faithfulness, and they are most afraid of owing others money, and they don't want to owe others a stitch The mentality is deep-rooted, and over time the folk customs have been formed.

Is it possible to borrow the usury that will not be repaid until death?

The poor second child first glanced at his ambitious son, and then thought about the future daughter-in-law who was high up.

Why is it so difficult to get married now, it has become a luxury.

You can't just watch your son be single, there are many people in the village who are like poor boys of this age, and they are still singles, they are in groups, and they can't raise their heads when they are full, and they are the laughing stock and talking heads of the village.

The people in the village love to chew their tongues, and they want to fight for more breath when they live.

The poor second thought about it again, if his son could get married, he could get out of this ridiculed group, which could be regarded as a matter of honoring his ancestors and showing his family.

Or borrow it from relatives and friends, the villagers will not refuse to give, and the borrowed money must be repaid, so pay it back slowly.

It was already the tenth winter month, and the poor second child put down the old face that had been saved on his head for decades and went to borrow money from his neighbors.

Money is always not enough. It's astronomical for him, and it's not something that can be borrowed in a day.

......

Later, the poor second child simply borrowed from one house to another, ranging from three hundred and five hundred to several thousand, and everyone was an old neighbor's old residence, and no one was embarrassed not to lend it to him.

......

Xianji Town is a famous local scenic village, the cold wind is cool, the river is crystal clear, the plum blossoms make snow, the house finches depend on the people, such a good environment, but the people who are stirred by the stinky fish of the poor old man are panicked.

......

During that time, the poor second child went out early and returned late, haunted in the courtyards of various households in Xianji Town, everyone can often see the figure of the poor second child borrowing money, and they are all guarding against him, but most of them can't touch the face and don't give it, and they know that he borrows this money, and the chance of repaying it is not great.

Later, everyone simply used the money lent out as a way to spend money to buy fun.

It's easy to borrow money, but it's hard to repay. The poor second child withstood the huge public opinion from top to bottom in Xianji Town, and it was difficult to prepare everything for his son before he got married.

Occasionally, when everyone meets the second child on the street, they will remember that the account he borrowed has not been repaid, and ask him with half shabby and half mockery.

"Second child, second child, you are so poor, don't borrow money. How will you pay it back in the future? "It's not just one person who asks, but the tone of the voice is the same

"Slowly, slowly, not very poor, not very poor. "In the face of other people's doubts, the poor second child always reciprocates with humility.

As a local "big family", my family was not spared the fate of being borrowed by him.

My father, in line with the attitude of trust in the poor second child for many years, was very generous to him, lent out a big bag, and did not even let the IOU be beaten, and others warned my father that the poor second child would definitely not pay back the money now.

My father sighed with disappointment in his eyes and waved his hand: "Children should be poor, and friends should be rich." "Maba, what's the matter with me.

Time is passing bit by drop, and what can't go away is the hand that borrows money and the heart that asks for money.

All the villagers in Xianji Town, including our family, began to scold the poor second child behind their backs, this kind of master who does not repay the borrowed money and can't even jump out of a fart when he meets, he must be treated as a negative example, and even educate the next generation to set an example for the poor second child.

However, things always change, and finally one day, the poor second child began to pay back.

It turned out that the object of the poor couple actually took the initiative to lower the conditions, reducing the 200,000 bride price to 100,000, and the loan for the car and the building had to be repaid by the husband and wife.

Suddenly there was such a big variable, in this regard, the overjoyed poor little girl was also at a loss, and asked for a long time before inquiring, and the trouble was for a long time, because the poor little girl's object was pregnant.

Bad things don't go out, good things are known from afar, and it didn't take long for this matter to spread all over the alleys of Xianji Town. Even the old lady who sells tofu in the neighboring village relish it.

The whole town of Xianji was shaken and rejoiced, all shocked and relieved by the sudden good news, especially the unmarried bachelors in the village, all of whom were ready to move, and invited the poor children to their homes for dinner to ask for the secret of success.

When others at the wine table asked about the reason for the poor man's affairs, he scratched his head and said that he didn't know what was going on, and his daughter-in-law suddenly became pregnant.

People have a treat, even if it is justified first, it will be over with a word.

The happiest is still the poor second child, he feels that the biggest burden in his life has finally been left behind.

Within a few days, the poor second child married his son.

......

The daughter-in-law finally got home, and the daughter-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the so-called next generation has hope, and the whole family is immersed in joy.

......

That little Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as Blessing Day. The sky is beautiful, with the year's scenery, and the snow is picturesque.

In the snow, an old man staggered from house to house.

He was the second poor man, and he appeared in my family yard again in rags, just like when he borrowed money, but compared to a few months ago, he felt like he was suddenly a teenager old, and his hair was much grayer, I don't know if it was snow or gray sideburns.

As soon as the poor second child entered the door of my house, he began to say that he was hard, and he did not enter the house, standing under the cold night of heavy snow, and took out a very clean white bag, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a wallet sewn in his own house.

From the crack in his wallet, he pulled out a lot of money, counted it carefully, and handed it to my father's palm.

My dad didn't look closely, so he kicked it in his pocket, knowing that it was part of the borrowed at the time, not all of it.

For even more hopeless arrears, this kind of loss and recovery is even more exciting than picking up money.

"Come in and sit a little longer, have a glass of wine, and go. My dad said happily.

"Don't sit down, you can just count the money, I still have several more to go. The poor second man bowed his head apologetically and replied in response.

My father knew that the poor second child was going to the next family to pay back the money, so he didn't stop him again. It's just that in the back of his departure, I looked at him a few more times.

It's already a blessing day, and everyone is having a reunion dinner at home, but the poor third child is still running around, and his heart should be sweet.

Care.

I've been thinking about what would happen to my heart if my father, like the poor second child, was looking down on me because of my marriage?

I thought, I'd rather never get married in my life, but luckily, I don't need to.
