Chapter 40: Cheng Defu's Past
Cheng Defu said: "Su Han! You're not an outsider, and there's nothing inconvenient about you. Uncle and you will tell you the truth! Uncle, my life is hard. Just a few years after he was born, his parents died unexpectedly.
I have no choice but to hang on the head of my uncle's family in the county seat and live with my uncle.
Although my uncle was very kind to me, after all, I was still young at the time, and I couldn't work and take up other people's rations. So I was often bullied by my older brothers and sisters.
But I can tolerate it.
People don't live to enjoy.
At least it can't make my uncle feel embarrassed!
But unfortunately, within a few years, my uncle also fell ill and passed away.
My aunt said I was a broom star and kicked me out.
Fortunately, before my uncle died, I was afraid that I would have no one to take care of me after he left. So I stuffed some money for a mason friend surnamed Sun, and asked him to find me a job to earn some rations, at least not to starve to death.
After I was kicked out, I followed my grandson around doing odd jobs, and I didn't make any money, just eating and drinking.
When I reached school age, I couldn't go to school yet. Because I need to take a job off work to go to school, my grandson can take me to work, and it is already very good to get a bite to eat.
How can I go to school!
It's hard to survive as an adult, and you can live independently.
At that time, I wanted a stable job the most, so that I could move my hukou from my aunt's hukou to the collective hukou of the unit. But I haven't been to school yet, I'm illiterate, I have no father or mother, I don't have anything to do with society, and no unit wants me.
I had no choice but to continue to do odd jobs and continue to be my mason.
Later, I married your aunt under the introduction of others.
But your aunt's condition, as you have seen, is disabled.
I also understand that how can a daughter from a good family marry someone like me. ”
Su Han also heard Cheng Xu say that her mother was knocked down by a mad livestock when she was a child, and although she saved her life, she also caused a leg to be amputated and branded with a disability. You must know that there is no big feminism at this time, and normal women can't talk about any rights, let alone women with disabilities.
For traditional parents, it would be nice to have someone for a disabled girl.
Cheng Defu said: "Of course! I'm not saying your aunt is bad. Disability is just a bad life, not a bad person. Either way, we're all miserable people. Uncle Ling, in my life, the biggest hope is that Cheng Xu will not be like me. Because he was illiterate, he couldn't find a formal job and was looked down upon. But what Cheng Xu looked like before, you also saw it. It's not about learning that piece of material at all. I beat and scolded. Later, he simply gave up and broke the jar. I thought he was about the same life as I was, at most the life of a mason.
But he is better than me, and he has met such a noble man as you.
My studies are getting better day by day. So Uncle is very grateful to you in my heart. But uncle, as you can see, my family conditions really can't afford him to go to college. And my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not in good health, either this pain or that pain, if there is nothing to do, I have to go to the hospital, I can't afford to treat a serious illness, and the small money has not been broken.
I'm the only one in the family. Not only to support your disabled aunt, but also to support your father-in-law and mother-in-law. In fact, when I married your aunt, we said yes. In any case, they will be given their second elders to the end of their lives in the future. After all, without the hard work of their two elders, I would not have been able to have a home, and Cheng Xu would not have been able to have a mother.
You say yes! ”
Su Han nodded...... There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time.
Supporting the elderly is a very hard thing, especially supporting the elderly who are sick and sick is not as simple as it says.
I have to say that Cheng Xu's father still can't find fault with him in terms of filial piety.
Cheng Defu continued: "Actually, I didn't want Cheng Xu to go to secondary school to harm him. I'm for his good!
An older sister of my uncle's family, the child is also a secondary school graduate. After graduation, Bao was assigned to a state-owned enterprise, which is our county paper mill, and it is one of the best enterprises in the county! Now that they have become the leader of a team, they are not good.
A child from an ordinary family can have such a decent job.
This is something I never dreamed of before.
If it weren't for you pulling Cheng Xu at a critical time, he wouldn't have had any chance at all. So I can't say that you are the great benefactor of our whole family. ”
Su Han smiled: "Uncle, you're welcome. I said it all, Cheng Xu and I are good brothers and good buddies. It is as it should be to help each other. In fact, after Cheng Xu told me what my uncle meant, I also understood this. There are no parents in the world who want to harm their children. Whatever parents say is for the good of their children. Our parents have tried to pull us so hard and try to harm us again. This is also unreasonable! Do you say? ”
"Look! You see! is still a person with a high level of Su Han and an understanding of people. Cheng Xu! You usually have to study hard with your Brother Su Han. Look at what people think of their parents. You just have to remember! Parents won't hurt you! We're all for your good! That's right! ”
Cheng Xu snorted when he heard this! But nothing was said.
He knew Su Han better than his parents.
Su Han: This is just a polite stage, and he hasn't gotten to the point yet!
Wait!
Su Han said: "Uncle! Although the premise that parents will not harm us is certain. But I don't think my parents are all right. ”
Cheng Defu was stunned when he heard this! Then he frowned and said unhappily: "Then listen to what you mean, I can still hurt him?" ”
"Uncle, don't worry! Listen to me first. You probably don't know. The gold content of today's secondary school is actually very different from that of ten years ago. When it comes to technical secondary schools, the gold content of provincial secondary schools is actually the highest, but the acceptance rate is low, and it is more difficult than taking the university entrance examination, which everyone knows. But even if you are admitted to the provincial technical secondary school, you are still a technical secondary school, and at most you will find a job in the counterpart unit, and you are actually a worker, and there is no big improvement in status. The same is true for municipal belongings, but the gold content and provincial affiliations are not at the same level. Not to mention the county-owned ones, the threshold has been lowered year by year. Look at it now, though! It's barely possible, and you can still get a job after graduation. But it won't take a few years, I'm afraid that only one person can enter, and when the time comes, let alone work, it will be hard to breathe.
You said that this kind of education will not be competitive in the society in the future.
Let's not say anything else, just some of the career vacancies in our county, the county secondary school degree, people have not recognized it, it must be above the provincial and municipal level, and it doesn't matter, because your major is not right, don't give some gifts, look for relationships, can it be your turn. Not to mention the administrative establishment, some small positions now require a college degree or above. The provincial administrative establishment does not have a university degree, you don't even think about it.
