Looking at the dilapidated classroom in front of her, the poor students, Han Mingyan really wanted to find a place where no one was there and cry......

How so? How did you end up in such a field? She should have stayed comfortably in the capital and been a key middle school teacher respected by everyone!

What made Han Mingyan even more depressed was that after returning to her hometown, her father and mother began to wait to find her in-law's house, she is twenty-four this year, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, and she will be twenty-five years old after the New Year.

In this era, especially in the countryside, if a girl's family is not married by the age of twenty-five, it is an old girl who cannot marry in the eyes of others!

Even if she is a college graduate, even if she is a formal people's teacher, she will not be able to change the truth that the old girl is worthless, and it will become a material for people to talk and laugh after dinner.

If there is an old girl in anyone's house, it will be a shameful thing!

Although Han Mingyan repeatedly emphasized to her father that she didn't want to get married yet, she had other plans for the future. However, her father and mother refused to listen to her, and still went around intensively to find a suitable person for her.

The reason why they are so concerned about Han Mingyan's marriage is not only because of the bad reputation of an old girl in the family, but also because there is another reason, that is, they want to take advantage of the fact that their daughter is not too old now, and she is a college graduate, and she still has a formal job, find a good in-law, and ask for more bride price, so that Han Biao can marry a daughter-in-law!

Han Biao is twenty-two years old this year, but he doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet!

Because their family is poor and their reputation is not very good, there are no good girls from good families who are willing to marry into their family.

It's just that Han Biao's heart is high, mainly because the girls of the old Han family are good-looking. He has his own group of sisters as a reference, and of course he doesn't like the ugly girl.

In this way, Han Biao's marriage has been hanging on the spot, and it has not been resolved until now.

Han Long is still in prison now, and it is estimated that it will be useless, and Han Zhide and his family are all counting on Han Biao now. Seeing that their son is twenty-two years old and has not yet married a daughter-in-law, the old couple is naturally very anxious, and they can't wait to marry their son to a daughter-in-law at once so that their son will become a family.

In fact, they had long hoped that they would rely on their daughter-in-law to ask for more dowries from their in-laws, so that they could marry their sons. It's just that Han Mingyan has been staying in the capital all these years, never coming back, never writing to them, and she doesn't reply when they write to her.

The capital is far away from them, and they can't even click Han Mingyan even if they want to. So even if she is unwilling, she can't help her.

But now it's different, Han Mingyan is back!

She is their daughter, and they naturally have the final say on marriage!

So, Han Zhide and Hu Huifang began to get busy, asking around the families in the town who had good conditions and were willing to spend money, preparing to marry Han Mingyan......

Han Mingyan was angry, so she moved out of her home and moved to the school's dormitory to live, but the school's dormitory conditions were very poor, and the low and dilapidated adobe houses were ventilated everywhere. You have to wrap your head when you go to bed at night, otherwise you will get up the next morning and catch a cold.

When I wake up every morning, the basin of water in the house is frozen, and you can imagine how cold it is in the house.

Moreover, in the dormitory, there is not one teacher in one room and one bed, but a large kang, and several teachers sleep on one kang.

When they go to bed at night, these teachers snore, grind their teeth and talk in their dreams, and their hygiene habits are not good, they don't wash their feet before going to bed at night, take off the kang and get into the bed to sleep.

At night, there is not only the smell of kang caves in the house, but also a strong smell of stinky feet, which makes Han Mingyan, who loves cleanliness, miserable.

The food is also extremely poor!

The school cafeteria still seems to be stuck to the standards of difficult times. On weekdays, I don't even cook rice, it's all black and thick sorghum rice, and occasionally make a meal of two rice, which can be regarded as improving the food.

And in the two rices, there is also more than half millet, a small half of rice, and there are rice husks, small stones, and insects in the rice.

The dish is also clear soup and clear water, not even oily. Occasionally, I can make a meat dish, but I just add a few thin slices of meat to the vegetarian dish, and the thin slices of meat are transparent under the sun.

This kind of life is very different from her life in the capital, it is simply a heaven and an underground, and it is not the life she wants at all!

In the capital, she lives in a brick house in Qingtang Tile House. Every day it is a briquette, which burns the house warm, like spring. Every meal is a combination of meat and vegetables, and the net food is delicious, and no meal is to deal with.

Look at the present, and think about the past, she even had the heart to die.

Now, Han Mingyan lives every day like a year, and often hides in the bed and cries at night. Sometimes she even wants to leave here desperately, but she doesn't want the job, and then runs to a new place to start a new life.

Anyway, she has money in her hand, more than 18,000 yuan, and so many valuable things! Even if she doesn't have a job, it's enough for her to spend most of her life......

However, this kind of thinking is immature after all, and it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. She didn't want to give up her job so quickly, so she could only wait slowly and find the right time......

In a blink of an eye, the winter vacation has arrived.

As soon as the winter vacation ended, the eldest sister's family couldn't wait to come to the capital. Get ready to get back to your old business and continue selling seafood and mushrooms.

Last year, their family made a lot of money here, and after tasting this sweetness, of course they will make persistent efforts and are ready to do it again.

Wang Wenyuan's family also came, because Zhang Shuzhen missed her grandchildren and couldn't think about it, and she was worried about coming over, and she kept shouting to come because of the chaos. Wang Wenyuan saw that the autumn harvest had been completed at home, and the poultry had been sold. So, the two families went all the way to the capital together.

With so many relatives coming at once, Han Mingxiu naturally welcomed it from the bottom of his heart.

The eldest uncle's family and the eldest sister's family all lived in the courtyard house lively. The eldest uncle and aunt live in the east room of the main house, Lin Hongwei and his family lead a few children to live in the middle of the main house, and the chaos lives alone in the westernmost room of the main house.

Gao Guangbin and his family led their two younger sons to live in the east wing, and Niuniu led her three younger sisters to live in the west wing.

Fortunately, the courtyard is spacious enough, that is, the three families live together, and there is no one to live in the front gatehouse!

However, the front door also came in handy immediately.

Because Gao Guangbin's family came to do business, Han Mingxiu did not let them go to the courtyard of the corner tower to get the goods for convenience, but bought 10,000 catties of hairy crabs and 10,000 catties of fresh mushrooms from the "friend" in one go, and put them in the front door room.

When they sell, they can pick up the goods at the front door every day......

The day after arriving in the capital, Gao Guangbin's family began to go out to do business.

Seeing them doing business in a big way, he also moved his mind, so he secretly persuaded his father and mother to tell Han Mingxiu that they would also go out and try.

Han Mingxiu couldn't bear to let someone as old as his uncle and aunt go out to sell on the street on a cold day, but his aunt had to go and couldn't stop him. I had no choice but to buy a tricycle for their family and let them toss it......

It's the same as last year, the eldest brother-in-law led a few daughters out to sell goods, and the eldest sister watched the two younger sons at home. Han Mingxiu also took Miao and Dashuang and Xiaoshuang back to the courtyard every day to stay for a while and talk to the two sisters.

The sisters can only be reunited once a year, so naturally there is no end to say when they get together.

Han Mingxiu asked her eldest sister about the situation in her hometown. The eldest sister told her that everything was fine in her hometown, but the second uncle's house was a little noisy.

Han Mingyan of the second uncle's family has returned from graduation and is a Chinese teacher in the town middle school, and the second uncle and second aunt are anxious to find her in-laws......

When Han Mingxiu heard the news, he sneered and said, "Han Mingyan has such a high heart, how can she be willing to find a partner in the countryside?" I'm afraid that her father and mother are in vain, and she can't agree. ”

Han Mingcui said disappreciatively: "That's not necessarily, if she is still in the capital, the second uncle and the second aunt can't fix her, but isn't she going back to our Laotun now, you see, the second uncle and the second aunt have to marry her off, Xiaoyan'er, no matter how high her heart is, she is also the daughter of the old Han family, she can't help but listen to her father's words......"

Han Mingxiu glanced at the eldest sister and said in her heart: Do you still think that anyone is as good as you, just like Han Mingyan, if her father and mother force her to marry, she can get some rat medicine to kill her father and mother......

"Forget it, don't talk about them, let's talk about the children, how are these children learning? What are the final exams? Han Mingyu was not happy to listen to them talk about the of the second uncle's family, so he diverted the topic.

Speaking of the children, Han Mingcui's face was a little more tangled, "Hey, their sisters are learning well, Xiaoying is getting worse and worse, and Xiaoli is generally ......"

Han Mingxiu saw the eldest sister's lost expression, so she opened her mouth to comfort her, "Eldest sister, I see that Xiaoying and Xiaoli are both quite obedient, and they must be very serious about learning, but their heads are not bright enough, so they are a little poor in learning, but they can't just look at learning, but also look at the child's conduct, ability, behavioral habits, etc., I think these two children are not bad in addition to learning, even if they are not good at learning, they will not be bad in the future." ”

"I hope so." Han Mingcui said sullenly, "I also want to open it, it's not the insects and birds there, I can't force them, I simply don't force them, so that the children will be in a hurry in the end, and they can't learn well, so it's better to let it be!" Anyway, I have spent all the money that should be provided for them, and I have said all the words that should be encouraged to them, even if they will not succeed in the future, I will not regret it! ”

"That is, as parents, we have done everything we should do, and they won't be able to rely on us if they are good in the future." Han Mingyu echoed.

Han Mingxiu said, "All roads lead to Rome, learning is not the only way out, let me see, eldest sister, you might as well take a closer look and see what these two children like, let's teach them according to their aptitude, we will cultivate them in whatever way they like, maybe they can do something in other aspects in the future!" ”

The eldest sister smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, Xiaoying likes to cook, don't say it, the rice is really delicious, even I don't drive her, Xiaoli is willing to raise livestock, serve chickens, ducks and geese, but who can't cook and maintain health?" How can you cultivate this hobby? What's the deal? ”

Han Mingxiu said, "Don't underestimate cooking and health preservation, if you really do a good job and do a good job, let Xiaoying be a chef or nutritionist in the future, and let Xiaoli be a veterinarian or something, but it is no worse than your future as a teacher!" ”

"Hey, let's talk about it later, anyway, it's still early for them to graduate, no matter what they want them to do in the future, they have to wait until they graduate from high school."

Compared with ordinary rural women, Han Mingcui is still a little knowledgeable.

In this era, ordinary women comrades do not approve of letting their daughters study, but Han Mingcui is different, she not only goes all out to support her children's study, but also requires that her children must graduate from high school, and it would be better if she could be admitted to college.

As for what the child will do in the future, he will have to wait until he graduates from high school, no matter what he does, first of all, the cultural water in his stomach must be enough!

Han Mingxiu is very supportive of the eldest sister's idea, although her little shadow Xiaoli can't be admitted to any school, but no matter what, she has to let them read more books, learn more knowledge and culture, and broaden their thinking and horizons more, so that they can go to the society and integrate with society in the future.

"Eldest sister, do you think the heads of these two girls are like their old Wang family, and the heads of our old Han family are not stupid?" Han Mingyu asked in confusion.

They hadn't talked about the eldest sister's ex-husband's family for a long time, and now that they mentioned it at first glance, Han Mingcui paused for a moment, feeling that what the second sister said seemed to be something from her previous life, if she didn't mention it, she would almost forget that she had married someone once!
