Chapter 8: Consultation
Secretary Yang left, and the Song family of three personally sent him out of the door, and when he left, he was smiling and very kind.
After Secretary Yang left, beside the fire, Father Song looked at his daughter and asked, "Xiaoping, what did Secretary Yang just say, what do you think in your heart?" β
Song Yunping lowered her head, looked at the burning firewood, and did not answer her father's question, but shook her head silently.
"You don't want to marry Wang Chong?" Father Song asked.
The reason why Father Song asked this question was that compared with other young people of school age in the team, Father Song valued Wang Chong from the countryside more, especially Wang Chong, who had exquisite medical skills far beyond him.
As the old saying goes, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, Wang Chong has this medical skill, no matter what time it is, he can support his family and don't have to worry about his livelihood.
Song Yunping still shook her head.
Song's father and Song's mother were a little overwhelmed by Song Yunping's reaction.
"Xiaoping!" Mother Song sat next to Song Yunping, grabbed Song Yunping's hand in her hand, and asked, "What do you think in your heart?" β
Song Yunping said: "Mom! I don't know. β
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at his parents: "Dad! Mother! This matter is so sudden, and I don't know how to answer you for a while, so you give me a few days to think about it. β
Father Song still knows a little about Song Yunping's daughter, and knows that she has always had a good idea, although Father Song himself has a very good impression of Wang Chong, but Father Song does not want to impose his will on his daughter.
"There's no hurry." Father Song's tone was very gentle, without the slightest anxiety: "Marrying is a lifelong thing, of course, you have to be cautious, you think about it slowly, no matter what decision you make, your mother and I will support you." β
Mother Song next to her also nodded and said, "Your father is right, no matter what you decide, we will support you." β
"Dad! Mother! Song Yunping looked at her parents: "Thank you!" β
Father Song didn't say anything, but Mother Song, who was holding Song Yunping's hand, pulled Song Yunping and told her thoughts: "I don't have any hope with your father in this life, I just hope that you and Xiaohui are all well, it doesn't matter if you go to college or not, it doesn't matter if you participate in work or not, as long as your sisters and brothers are healthy and safe, it is better than anything else." β
Although Song's father did not speak, his attitude was a tacit acquiescence to Song's mother's statement.
Song Yunping looked at her elderly parents and felt their concern for her, and her heart was extremely touched.
At night, Song's father and Song's mother, who slept in clothes, never slept for a long time.
"Dad, what did Secretary Yang say today, what did you think in your heart?" It was Song Mu who couldn't hold back first and broke the silence.
In the dark, Father Song's voice deliberately suppressed the volume also sounded: "I think Wang Chong's child is very good, a good match." β
Over the years, the experience has also changed the character of Song's father a little, and now Song's father is a bit exaggerated when he says that he is depressed, but he is taciturn.
Mother Song said: "Wang Chong's child has been in our brigade for many years, we all see the character, and the ability is also there, Secretary Yang is right, if you really compare, in such a brigade in Hongwei Town, among people of the same age, there is really no one who can compare with him." β
After being silent for a moment, Father Song said: "What's the use of what we like, the key is to have Xiaoping like it." β
Mother Song heard this and said: "I look at Xiaoping and I like Wang Chong, but Xiaoping is a girl's family in the end, and it is normal to be thin-skinned." β
"And didn't Xiaohui write to say that Xiaoping still has a chance to be admitted to university next year."
Father Song said: "Not this year, will it be possible next year?" β
Over the years, Song's father has been scared, and the rafters in his early days are rotten first, and now Song's father just wants to live his own little life with his family in peace, and he no longer dares to think about those things that he shouldn't think.
"Hey!" Mother Song also sighed when she heard this, and her eyes were full of loneliness and helplessness.
Mother Song is a submissive character, and over the years, she has long been accustomed to the days when her family was treated differently because of the composition problem, and she didn't dare to have the slightest luxury for those things.
Just like Song Yunhui's going to college this time, if it weren't for Song Yunping's perseverance and running to the town again and again, it might not have been possible.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, let Xiaoping decide for herself!" Father Song's eyes were gloomy, and his tone was full of embarrassment.
Mother Song sighed again and didn't say anything again, but tonight was destined to be an inevitable night.
In the next room, in the dark, Song Yunping, who was lying on the bed, also had those big eyes open, unable to sleep for a long time, her heart was full of confusion, and her mind was a mess, full of Secretary Yang's words and Wang Chong's shadow.
The neighbors lived before and after, Wang Chong and Song's father have been in contact, and they have not come to the door less, but Song Yunping is still young in the past, and she has been treated differently in the brigade, and her heart is extremely sensitive, Wang Chong's treatment of everyone equally, makes her grateful.
Shao Mu Shao Ai, Wang Chong's conversation is not as vulgar as the rest of the team, and his cultural literacy is also high, especially with an extremely extraordinary medical skill, even his father sighs to himself, throughout the ages, women are Mu Qiang, Song Yunping naturally has a little bit of a non-centrific thought about Wang Chong.
But Song Yunping is not one of those stupid women who are in love, and she can give up everything for the so-called love.
The special family environment made Song Yunping far more precocious than her peers, and she also helped her parents shoulder the burden of the family early.
Compared with getting married, Song Yunping has an unattainable yearning for university, because that is the only way for her to change her destiny.
For the sake of the younger brother of a mother's compatriot, the sensible and reasonable Song Yunping took the initiative to give up this opportunity.
But now, Song Yunping, who learned from her younger brother that she still had a chance to go to college again, couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
Especially today's Secretary Yang's words, Song Yunping was even more entangled.
Song Yunping also knew for a long time that Wang Chong was different from other educated youths who left early, Wang Chong took the initiative to apply to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and he had no intention of leaving the Shanbei Brigade at all, and he was already ready to take root in the Shanbei Brigade.
In the past few months, following Wang Chong's side, Song Yunping has also talked to Wang Chong about this from time to time.
Wang Chong did not hide it, and answered all questions to Song Yunping.
Although the parents next to him had tried their best to suppress their voices, in the quiet of the night, the conversation between the parents still clearly fell into Song Yunping's ears.
Sleepless all night, early the next morning, Song Yunping was called out by her mother in a daze.
For their daughter's rare oversleep, Song's father and Song's mother didn't blame them at all.
After breakfast, Song Yunping said to her parents and went out, didn't go far, bypassed her house, and went straight to the back.
Before she got closer, Song Yunping heard a sound from the courtyard.
When I got closer, I saw that in the open yard surrounded by a fence, Wang Chongzheng was sitting on a rather thick wood shavings, two triangular wooden yards propped up the wood horizontally, and there was a wooden box on the table next to it, in which were Wang Chong's tools for carpentry.
"Brother Wang Chong!" Song Yunping stood outside the fence and shouted.
"Pinkie?" Wang Chong raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw that it was Song Yunping, so he hurriedly smiled and beckoned Song Yunping to go in.
"There is tea in the house, pour it yourself when you are thirsty, and I won't greet you." In the past few months, Song Yunping has been running to Wang Chong a lot, and Wang Chong has not treated Song Yunping as an outsider.
Song Yunping looked at Wang Chong: "Brother Wang Chong, what are you doing here?" β
Wang Zhong said with a smile: "I am thinking about picking up and picking up in the house and adding a few pieces of furniture while I have time now, and it just so happens that I have also saved some dry wood at home in the past few years." β
Song Yunping nodded, looked at Wang Chong, at first he was a little hesitant, his eyes were a little evasive, but after a moment, he seemed to have a decision in his heart, and even his eyes became firm, and he asked, "Secretary Yang came to our house yesterdayΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Brother Wang Chong, do you know? β
"Yes!" Wang Chong met Song Yunping's gaze and smiled calmly: "Yesterday, I asked Secretary Yang to visit your house to visit you and your parents." β
Song Yunping didn't expect Wang Chonghui to be so direct and calm, and there was a moment of stunnedness, and he adjusted back in an instant: "What do you think in your heart?" β
Wang Chongdao: "Xiaoping, you also know, I am twenty-five years old this year, and I don't plan to go back to the city, it is a matter of time before I start a family. β
Song Yunping said: "There are so many girls of school age in ten miles and eight towns, why me?" β
Wang Chongdao: "It's not that I flatter you, there are many beautiful girls in ten miles and eight towns, but you can't find a second one like you, who is beautiful and smart, diligent and capable, and sensible." β
"Since I, Wang Chong, want to marry a daughter-in-law, of course I want to find the best."
Rao was Song Yunping's concentration, and after listening to Wang Chong's words, he couldn't help but blush slightly, and his eyes were removed by Wang Chong's burning gaze, but a sweetness gushed out inexplicably in his heart.
Song Yunping didn't answer again, but turned around and ran away shyly, went home with a red face, closed the courtyard door with her back to her back, leaned against the wooden courtyard door, her chest continued to rise and fall, and her eyes kept flashing, telling the deep unpeace in her heart.
"Xiaoping, what's wrong with you?"
Mother Song came out of the house with a dustpan, and when she saw her daughter's abnormality, she couldn't help but ask with concern.
was asked by her biological mother like this, Song Yunping became even more ashamed like a child whose secret was discovered, and hurriedly responded: "It's nothing? β
"Mom, I'm not feeling well, let's go back to the house and lie down for a while."
Leaving such a sentence, Song Yunping hurriedly ran back to the house.
I didn't want Mother Song to hear this, but she was a sigh in her heart, put the dustpan in her hand, hurriedly followed, came to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and asked with concern: "Xiaoping!" Xiaoping! Where are you uncomfortable? β
"Mom!" Song Yunping in the house was burying her head in the quilt, very ashamed, listening to the knock on the door and her mother's words of concern, she was even more ashamed.
"I'm fine, just rest for a while!" Song Yunping tried her best to make her tone sound unusual.
Song Yunping underestimated her mother's concern for her: "Xiaoping, what is wrong with you, you tell your mother, or let your father help you take a look!" β
"Mom! I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little sleepy, and I want to sleep a little more. β
At this moment, Song Yunping's brain was running rapidly, and she quickly thought of a reason.
"Then you have a good rest!" Mother Song breathed a sigh of relief, and did not forget to send a word of concern.
"Then I'll go to sleep first, Mom, go and get busy with you!" Song Yunping in the house also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Mother Song outside the door had turned around, her eyes were still looking at the closed door, and she muttered, "Didn't sleep enough?" Didn't you sleep well last night? β
In the room, Song Yunping tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and the turmoil in her heart gradually calmed down, and then she got up and came to the desk, took out the letter paper, spread it on the table, took out the sharpened pencil, and took the pen and thought about it for a long time before officially putting down the pen.
A few days later, Song Yunhui, who was far away on the campus of the provincial university, received a letter from his sister, and Song Yunhui, who had been looking forward to the family letter for several days, couldn't wait to open the envelope and read his sister's letter.
Song Yunping did not get straight to the point, but first talked to Song Yunhui, first asked Song Yunhui about the recent situation at school, and then talked about a lot of recent things at home, and finally talked about Wang Chong's entrustment of Secretary Yang to come to the door to say goodbye.
"Wang Zhong?" Seeing this, Song Yunhui couldn't help frowning, and muttered Wang Chong's name in his mouth.
The roommates who had barely seen Song Yunhui frowning next to him looked at Song Yunhui curiously.
Among the three people in the same dormitory, the third in the ranking, Yu Shanqing, is nearly one round older than Song Yunhui, not to mention the eldest and second, and the three of them usually take a lot of care of the youngest Song Yunhui.
Living in the same dormitory, the three of them naturally understand Song Yunhui's family background, and they also appreciate Song Yunhui's hard-working and progressive learning attitude.
"Xiaohui, what did your sister say in the letter?" The bespectacled boss was the first to ask.
The other two also looked at Song Yunhui with concern.
Song Yunhui quickly adjusted, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, my sister said that someone went to my house to propose." β
"That's a good thing!" The boss slapped his thigh and said happily for Song Yunhui: "This is a happy event, you should be happy, why are you still frowning." β
"You don't like the guy who proposed to your sister?" The second child said.
Only the old Sanyu Shanqing next to him did not speak.
Song Yunhui shook his head and said: "That's not it, I know the person who proposed to my sister, and he lives behind our house, and he has always been good to me and my sister." β
"Are you afraid that person is incapable and can't take care of your sister?" The Boss asked again.
Song Yunhui still shook his head and said: "That person's name is Wang Chong, he is a young man in the countryside, with superb medical skills, in recent years, the young people who went to our countryside have chosen to return to the city one after another, and he is still there, and he is also very knowledgeable, and his understanding of mathematics, physics and chemistry is deeper than mine. β
"So powerful?" Yu Shanqing finally couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't he get admitted to college?" β
Song Yunhui said: "It's not that he didn't get in, but he didn't take the college entrance examination at all." β
"Didn't take the college entrance examination?" As soon as Song Yunhui's words came out, all the three people in the dormitory were shocked.
In these years, there are only two ways for educated youths to return, either they have family connections, deep backgrounds, and wide access to the university, or they can take the college entrance examination and be admitted to university.
The resumption of the college entrance examination is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for countless educated youths in the countryside.
Song Yunhui said: "I also asked him, but he said that the countryside is vast, and there is a lot to be done, and it is not necessary to take the college entrance examination to change his fate, and he wants to change not only his own fate, but also the fate of the entire Shanbei Brigade and even the entire Hongwei Town." β
