Chapter 2: The Life of an Ordinary Man
On the morning of July 11, 1991, the most boiling thing in Xiaogou Village was that Jin Dachang, a merchant from Jinjia Village, came to Chen Jinsheng's house with his son to ask for relatives, but was driven out by Chen Ni with a broom.
In this regard, the village was in an uproar but at the same time more puzzled.
When did Chen Ni's baby become so horizontal?
Of course, the people in the village are just gossiping at best, but the real angry person is Chen Ni's uncle.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere at Chen Ni's home was a little tense.
The second uncle Chen Jinhai and the third uncle Chen Jinshan sat on the chair with a blushing face, staring at Chen Ni.
"Jin Jie can't marry here, he can't marry......" In the end, his mother came out to play a round, "Our Chen Yi is so beautiful, I don't know how many people come to propose marriage......"
"Mom, I'm not talking about not marrying Jin Jie, it's my sister not marrying." Chen Ni's voice interrupted her mother's words.
Everyone was stunned.
"Chen Ni, what do you think?" Second Uncle Chen Jinhai frowned and said, "You said that you won't marry, let me ask you, how do you go to school?" Your teacher made it clear that with your grades, it is easy to go to university, and you will be admitted to university next year, if we can't make up the money for your school now, how will you go to college? ”
Chen Ni's family has been a poor peasant for several generations, and it is the correct identity that can no longer be corrected.
This also shows that their family doesn't even have money for Chen Ni to go to school.
Even in the years of school, in fact, my uncle also helped.
In this respect, Chen Ni is very grateful to these two uncles.
"I ...... I'll earn it myself! Chen Ni was silent for a while, and finally spoke.
Everyone was stunned.
"Xiao Ni, how can this money be so easy to earn, if it is really easy to earn, do you see that there are so many people in our village who can't even go to school?" Chen Jinhai opened his mouth to persuade.
"Second uncle, anyway, it's still a few days before the start of school, maybe I can really earn it back." Chen Ni smiled and said, "My sister doesn't want to marry, so don't marry." ”
"But what if you can't make it?" Wang Fang thought about it and said a little unconfidently, "Then you start school, what can you do!" ”
"If you really can't do it, I'll borrow money from the whole village!" But as soon as she finished speaking, her mother Wang Fang's eyes suddenly turned red and she made up her mind, "You can always get it." ”
As a result, everyone fell silent.
"You're crazy, aren't you?" Chen Jinshan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Chen Ni and said angrily, "Let me tell you Chen Ni, your father died early, and your second uncle and I have done a lot for your family over the years." Chen Yi got married, your family got the money, you went to college, and you glorified your ancestors, this is a good thing for everyone, and it will be over if you don't get married? Let me tell you, your family still owes me fifty yuan, I haven't asked you for so many years, my family also has to live, you want to force us to death, don't you? ”
"Little mud, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Yi saw that the third uncle was angry, and the six gods stood up without a master, "I'll marry, I'll go to Jin Jie, and I'll discuss it with him again." ”
But Chen Ni stepped forward and pressed Chen Yi's hand, shook his head and said, "No need sister, even if I am useless, I can't use the money to marry you to fight for a future for me." ”
Chen Yi looked at his younger brother a little blankly.
Chen Jinshan was about to go crazy, he suddenly stood up, kicked the basin on the side, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, or you, don't even listen to our words, I don't care about your family's affairs in the future!" ”
As he spoke, he left in a rage.
Second Uncle Chen Jinhai sighed, stepped forward and patted Chen Ni's shoulder, and left without speaking.
For a moment, there was silence inside.
Chen Ni thought about his life in his previous life.
After coming out of college, he was indeed assigned a good job, but he had no power in it, and because his character was not good at making friends, he worked in the unit for seven or eight years, and he was still far away from his ideals, and finally gritted his teeth and went to the sea to do business.
But the problem is that when he went to the sea to do business, he had missed a lot of opportunities, resulting in his successful career, but he was always one breath away from the top.
So in the end, neither side was next to each other.
More importantly, he watched his loved ones leave him one by one.
According to his original trajectory, after he entered school in September, his younger sister Chen Xiaohe would suspend school, and in the spring of the following year, he would go out to the south to do a side job to earn living expenses.
And then in that era when car bandits and road rage were endless, they were violated.
Xiao Ming picked one up, but the murderer also disappeared into the vast sea of people.
In the end, Chen Xiaohe had no choice but to go home.
However, after returning home, Chen Xiaohe went insane, and when she was twenty years old, she went to the mountain alone, and she didn't know whether to jump off the cliff or fall off the cliff, ending her short life.
That day, Chen Ni cried heartbreakingly.
After that, my mother also aged quickly.
He died a few years later.
This incident directly led Chen Ni to resign from the unit and go to the sea to do business.
Along the way, he has lost so much, God will give him another chance, Chen Ni doesn't want to miss it again.
"Mom, sister, I will earn my own money for college, you don't have to worry!" Chen Ni said calmly, "Also, I will go to the city tomorrow to see if I can find an opportunity to work." Xiaohe, don't let her drop out of school, her grades are better than mine, and she should be able to get into the first middle school in the high school entrance examination, and she is a seedling of reading. ”
Everyone was stunned again.
"Xiaoni, Xiaohe, a girl, it's already good to go to junior high school." Wang Fang wiped away her tears and persuaded her, "It doesn't matter if she is admitted to high school or not, even if she is admitted, so what, she ......"
"She was admitted, and I provided for her to go to school." Chen Ni was calm and didn't look like a person of his age, "You don't need to persuade you, so be it, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"You...... Are you really going to work? Wang Fang stood up tremblingly.
This peasant woman who has been busy and hard all her life, the man in the family died early, and finally offered her son to the present, but her son said that he was going to work, and she couldn't stand it.
"Mom, it's summer vacation, I'll go to the city to see if there's a job." Chen Ni comforted, "Don't worry, no problem, I can solve my own affairs, you can rest assured that you will watch these paddies at home, and they will be harvested soon." ”
Wang Fang's tears flowed.
blames the man in his family for dying early, otherwise he wouldn't have lived to such a situation.
"Brother, what are you going to do in the city?" Chen Yi asked Chen Ni.
Chen Ni was silent for a moment.
"I'll go there and have a look, don't worry, I have classmates there, and it'll be fine." Chen Ni comforted.
"Okay, you're going...... I won't stop you, they all say that poor children are in charge of the family early, if you can really afford this family, my mother is also happy. Wang Fang muttered, "Don't blame your third uncle for speaking badly, he is not easy, he has helped our family a lot over the years." ”
"I know, don't blame him!" Chen Ni nodded.
"After dinner in the evening, I went to his house to apologize to him, if it weren't for your two uncles all these years, you wouldn't have been able to go to school a long time ago."
"Okay, I'll go!"
Because Chen Ni was going to go to the city tomorrow, he deliberately cut a small amount of bacon to fry it in the evening.
In the year 1991, this bacon was particularly fragrant.
Half an hour after dinner, Chen Ni came to the third uncle's house.
