Yang Erni glanced at Xiao Daqian, and then lowered her head with a crimson face, this kind of shyness made Xiao Daqian have the urge to die for his confidant, he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, it was obvious that Yang Erni was waiting for herself here, and it was inappropriate not to say anything, he asked, "Have you eaten?" It is obviously very inappropriate to ask the question of eating at this time, but in the countryside, it is just a way for ordinary people to meet and greet each other, Yang Erni shook her head: "I didn't eat it." You're here so early! ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Daqian replied, both of them didn't know what to say, but Yang Erni knew that this kind of occasion must not be too muddy, there may be classmates coming over at any time, it is not their patent to come to school early for self-study, Xiao Daqian is head is cloudy, and the excessive secretion of male hormones makes him have the urge to faint.

"Alas, Shaw, do you have any money? Lend me fifteen dollars, I have no money to register for the exam! She said quickly, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to proceed if it was interrupted, and her eyes were still looking in the direction of the gate as she spoke, lest a classmate she knew come over.

Xiao Daqian heard it clearly, he instinctively

"Ah" shook his head, and said silently in his heart: My good girl! Fifteen bucks? Where do I get it?

！ Yang Erni couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after speaking, she also saw Xiao Daqian's reaction for the first time, and understood that the probability of Xiao Daqian bringing money was very small, fifteen yuan in that year was an astronomical amount for junior high school students, they may not spend this amount in a semester, rural children are at home for food and clothing, and one dollar in their pockets is considered a rich man.

But this matter has to be solved, this week to sign up, ten yuan registration fee, photography and the like also cost money, so I said the number fifteen.

She hurriedly said, "Help me figure it out!" I can't help but look for you! Xiao Daqian nodded resolutely, he had no choice or responsibility, the thirteen-year-old rural boy already understood the responsibility of a man, he wanted to complete this arduous task, he lost people in front of the whole school last time, this time he wanted to find this field, to let Yang Erni recognize himself, he said: "Yes!" Yang Erni nodded and turned around and ran, while Xiao Daqian stood there for a while before returning to the classroom.

This is not a problem easy to solve, in later generations fifteen yuan is just the cost of a lunch, but at that time it may be the living expenses of a rural family for three months, Xiao Daqian does not have a deep understanding of the concept of money, but he knows that he can give his younger brothers and sisters the greatest happiness when he has a dime when he catches the market, Xiao Aihua likes to eat syrup, Xiao Bao, who is more than two years old, is interested in carbon-red clay molds, and he likes to eat sugar baked cakes from the Dongtou Niu family in Gouzi Town, which is the purchasing power of a dime, and the concept of fifteen yuan can be imagined. Perhaps the Education Bureau set such a high registration fee to prevent some students from poor families and not very good at studying to sign up, but it also made some children like Yang Erni in a dilemma, and even affected some people's lives.

Xiao Daqian once tried to seek support from a few good friends, of course, he didn't say that Yang Erni borrowed money, only said that he needed it urgently, and asked everyone to help, Xiao Wuyi was very unrighteous this time, and he completely lost the heroism of bragging about sticking a knife in both ribs, and the common rhetoric is

"Find your father", only Meng Daming said that this matter is not a big deal, his father works in the town supply and marketing cooperative, where there is seventy or eighty yuan in retail sales in the cash cabinet of the store...... Xiao Daqian rolled his eyes viciously: "Why don't you let me rob it?" Meng Daming let out a very long fart, this is a habit he has developed for many years, and he reminds people first when he speaks, and he has always had Meng Daming's nickname: "I just let you rob it!" What do you want to do? Steal? Xiao Daqian almost beat him to death.

Xiao Daqian started to be crazy about money for the first time, of course he knew that the easiest way was to ask Xiao Weidong for it, but there would be a lot of tongues.

"What do you want money for" is almost the first question to ask, how does he explain it? Say it to Yang Erni? Will his father believe it?

If you really ask the Yang family, will Erni be beaten? Will Yang Erni look down on herself in that case?

Will you never find yourself this way again? The feeling in the sweet smell of acacia flowers in the morning is so good, if he can, Xiao Daqian still wants to talk to his little daughter-in-law in that place, even if it is this kind of thing that makes him embarrassed.

He thought of a lot of ways, but it was obviously a dead end, and it was also at this time that Xiao Daqian regretted that he didn't study hard, Gouzi Town Junior High School has a scholarship system, the first 100 yuan for the grade, the second place is 90 yuan, and so on to the tenth place is 10 yuan, in the past, Xiao Daqian saw that his classmates got scholarships and scoffed: "What's so great about that?" "It would be nice to have that kind of result for me now.

There are also some ways to make money in the countryside, for example, picking medicinal herbs is a bit specialized, but the price is terrible, the most expensive medicinal materials are snake skin, fifteen yuan a catty, the cheapest dandelion, dry five cents a catty, even if Xiao Daqian is too late to get it now, the idea of stealing has also surfaced in his mind, but it was denied at the first time.

There is that kind of second-rate person in the village who likes to steal things, and everyone hides when they see him, Xiao Daqian's moral consciousness is still very high, and finally when he is desperate, he looks for his stepmother Kang Yunmei: "Auntie, are you rich?" Xiao Daqian has always refused to call Kang Yunmei the same as his sister Xiao Aihua

"Mother", the relationship between his real nephew and fake son is slightly embarrassing, but Kang Yunmei did not treat him as an outsider, it hurts and scolds, and she has a sense of proportion in her heart, she understands that Xiao Daqian does not hate herself, but maintains a kind of nostalgia for her deceased mother, after all, the loss of her mother at a young age is one of the biggest misfortunes in life.

Now when I saw him suddenly ask for money, I felt a little helpless in my heart, I was afraid that something happened to this child: "Your father is in charge of our family's money, how can I have any money?" What do you want money for, if you really need it urgently, I'll tell your father! Do you want it in school? In addition to the two of them in the room, there was also Xiao Baobao, who was unsteady running, playing on the quilt folded on the kang, jumping around ignoring his mother and brother, and laughing happily.

Xiao Daqian lowered his head: "Yang Erni, it's the woman who is engaged to me to apply for the junior secondary school, and she can't afford the registration fee, so ask me for help, I, I can't help her!" Auntie, if you have one, lend it to me, and I will definitely exchange it for you! Kang Yunmei fell into deep thought, she believed Xiao Daqian's words, although this child was naughty, he also followed his father's loyalty, and rarely told lies, but this money is not a small amount, and in the countryside, after getting engaged, men and women do not contact each other privately, and it has always been taboo to teach and receive each other, and the woman actually asked Xiao Daqian for money, which is not a good phenomenon.

According to the custom, the Xiao family should give the Yang family a dowry, but that is a matter of the future, after all, the engagement is just an intention, and it is not to the extent of changing a small post, and the two sides also said that they would wait until the child finishes school, and then ask for money now?

Will it be even worse in the future? Xiao Daqian saw that his aunt didn't speak, thinking that she didn't want to, so he turned around and left without speaking, in fact, he was also a temptation, since he had to face his father's mountain sooner or later, then just face it directly!

"Boss, don't go!" Kang Yunmei suddenly said,

"I have fifteen yuan here, I'll use it for you first, don't tell your dad about it, our family is preparing to build you a house recently, and your dad is also borrowing money from everywhere. Also, you told the girl that this kind of thing can't be repeated again and again in the future! ”
