When the family of three returned home, Ling Hui and Ling Yun excitedly greeted them and asked, "Dad, mother, how is it?" Are foreign guests satisfied with the dishes cooked by Niang? ”

Luo Guixiang nodded Ling Yun's forehead: "Satisfied, why are you not satisfied?" He smiled and said to Ling Hui, "Your bike is there." ”

Ling Hui screamed, clenched his fists and jumped in circles in the room: "Great, great!" ”

The family was happy, and Ling Mei, who was tired for a day, silently went back to the house to rest. Seeing this, Guixiang hurriedly called her: "Ling Mei, wait." ”

Ling Mei turned around: ?

Guixiang's tone carried a slight reproach: "You kid, why do you want to lie to foreign guests and Secretary Zhang?" I heard Officer Yang say clearly, those wasabi and fish were obviously brought back by you. ”

Yue Shan and the two cubs were quiet.

Ling Mei refused to admit in front of outsiders that she had picked the wasabi from the mountain. Because with her current weak strength, there is no way to maximize the benefits of this precious wasabi. Wait, she has to wait, at least when she is admitted to Agriculture and Forestry University, her skills can be used as a matter of course. Otherwise, who would believe her as a junior high school student?

Just as she was thinking about how to explain, Daddy Xiao spoke for her: "Guixiang, you don't understand this." ”

Cinnamon:?

Lingmei: ?

Daddy Xiao asked Guixiang with a smile: "Think about it, is our family's contribution much today?" ”

Guixiang: "Of course. ”

"yes, wow." Dad Xiao explained, "Today, our credit is too great, but Secretary Zhang ignored Hongcun." Ling Mei's appearance brought today's focus back to Hongcun. Didn't you see how happy Hongcun's smiling face was at that time? ”

Guixiang was stunned and muttered, "Is there still this truth? ”

Think about it, their family is a cook, and the protagonist is still Secretary Hongcun and Zhang. It's never a good thing to be a master.

So she gently touched Ling Mei's hair and smiled, "It's still your father and daughter who think about it thoroughly." Over the mountain, Ling Mei is the biggest hero today. She taught me how to clean up all those seafoods. We have to reward Ling Mei well. ”

Yue Shanle was very proud: "Really? Lingmei, tell me, what reward do you want? ”

Ling Mei glanced at Guixiang in surprise. This mother can't say bad about Ling Mei, but she has a natural neglect of her daughter. Especially in front of her two sons, her interests are almost completely sacrificeable.

Now that she has this opportunity, she also plans to make her words clear: "Can I really pick a reward?" ”

Guixiang smiled: "Your father took the Xu Bu ticket." Shall I make a new dress for each of you? ”

Yue Shan's eyebrows tightened, and he glanced at his wife unhappily.

Guixiang seemed to feel her husband's gaze, and immediately added, "Let Mei do a few more." ”

Ling Mei shook her head and took the opportunity to say, "You don't need too many new clothes." Daddy, Mom. I just have one request. ”

Yue Shan teased her: "Say it." As long as I don't immediately ask me to marry the Zhu family, it's easy to say anything. ”

In the light laughter of the family, Ling Mei was speechless and looked at Ling Hui.

Ling Hui Deng tensed: What did she want? You won't grab a bike with me, will you?

"Dad, mother. I'm going to high school. ”

Ling Mei's words exploded in Ling Hui's ears, this condition is more difficult to accept than snatching his bike! He almost jumped up and shouted, "What high school are you going to when a girl goes to?!" ”

Why did she go to high school? How many high school students can afford to be in the family with this condition? Ling Yun will go to primary school next year, how can the family make up three tuition? What's more, her grades are better than herself, and she really wants to go to high school and compete with herself for a place in college, so what can she do?

Ling Meiqiao's face sank, stared at Ling Hui and asked coldly, "Why can't the girl go to high school?" ”

Ling Hui looked at Guixiang angrily: "Mother, you say!" ”

Gui Xiang never expected Ling Mei to blow up a thunder at home when she opened her mouth.

It's too bad to know. She frowned in annoyance: "Ling Mei." When a girl reaches junior high school, it is enough to be able to write and calculate. In the future, I will find a good family, a husband and children, like my mother, what's wrong? As he spoke, he pushed the husband next to him, "Yueshan, did you say?" ”

Daddy Xiao was stunned. He weighed it again and again in his heart, remembered Secretary Zhang's words today, and thought about the actual conditions at home, sighed, and said apologetically to his daughter: "Ling Mei, you also know the conditions at home, it is indeed not enough for the three children to study together." ”

Ling Hui let out a sigh. It's good that Daddy has a clear mind.

Ling Mei flashed her dark crystal eyes and smiled at her father: "Then if the family has money, will I be able to continue to study in high school or even take the college entrance examination?" ”

Daddy Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously. If the family has enough money and his daughter has good grades and insists on going to high school, how can he object?

Gui Xiang was afraid that her husband's position was not firm, so she hurriedly calculated the account for him: "Ling Mei, Jun Xiao is in the first middle school in the town, he has not yet lived, and the tuition fee is 160 yuan a semester!" When you reach the third year of high school, you have to buy all kinds of college entrance examination review materials. Three years of high school cost at least 1,000 yuan. Do your own calculations, is there enough money for you to spend? ”

"1,000 is not much." Ling Mei understated.

"Not much?" Guixiang laughed angrily, "Our family has two acres of rice and one acre of vegetable land." The annual harvest is only about 300 crops. What's more, if you have to eat and drink, and save a bride price for your two younger brothers, I can't wait to spend a penny into two cents! You are a lion with a big mouth, and you don't care about 1,000 yuan? ”

If it weren't for the village chief and the town's teachers going to work one by one, all the children would have gone to school. If it weren't for the fact that girls who are literate in reading and reading are more popular in marriage, she would be reluctant to tighten her belt and spend money on her daughter's study!

Ling Mei's eyes lit up: "In short, as long as I can earn my own tuition, you will let me continue to study, right?" ”

Ling Hui immediately thought of the Poria she sold, but the money lady promised to buy him a bicycle! So he was busy giving his mother a look. Gui Xiang swept her son's eyes, and also thought of Poria cocos's money, and was speechless for a while.

Lingmei goes up the mountain twice a year in spring and autumn to collect mushrooms. Earn at least 400 yuan a year. This huge sum of money is the largest income of the family, which is equal to the total harvest in the fields. However, the money she spends on her study every year is only seventy or eighty yuan.

Thinking of this, Luo Guixiang really couldn't agree to her daughter's request: she had already earned enough for her annual tuition.

Xiao Yueshan also figured out the twists and turns here, and his face turned red for a while.

It's a shame that he is still a big man, and the family actually relies on his daughter to support half of the country. The most excessive thing is that she earns money and her family refuses to let her go to high school!

I thought of Secretary Zhang's words to persuade him today: "If you don't study, are you willing to let Zhong Ling's daughter of Yuxiu be buried in the mountains?" ”

Xiao Yueshan's brows tightened more and more, and his whole face was terrifyingly solemn.
