69 Yan Xia's difficulties
Li Laoban was very embarrassed.
Yan Xia's father squatted pitifully in front of the office door, didn't get up, didn't speak, and smoked a choking cigarette so bitterly.
Yan Xia's home is in Cuiping Village in Haichuan, backed by Cuiping Mountain. After a few years and life improves, Cuiping Mountain is a good place for leisure and entertainment, but it is still a typical poor mountain remote area.
Hao Gang is actually very strange, the better the family conditions, the more reluctant they seem to have more children, Hao Gang, Yuan Yue, and Liu Yang are all only children, and Yan Xia's family can hardly open the pot, but the children are a big string, and Yan Xia is the eldest at home.
Yan Xia's family is poor, but Yan Xia's parents are not lazy, although they have a bunch of children, they can eat enough by relying on the hard work of the two of them.
Two years ago, the village called for the development of a side business to raise rabbits, and the two of them were busy day and night, and they could be regarded as having accumulated a little money, or they would not have the confidence to send Yan Xia to Haichuan to school.
This year, raising rabbits has encountered trouble, I don't know why a winter rabbit is almost dead, now Cuiping Village collapsed, every family was affected, everyone is in trouble, and there is nowhere to borrow money if you want to make a comeback.
Originally, Yan's father also tightened his belt for her to go to school because Yan Xia's grades were too good, hoping that the Yan family could have a place to eat and supply grain. Now that the family is in trouble, of course Yan Xia can't continue to go up and down.
The poor have the means of the poor, and although they do not sell their sons and daughters, they can marry.
Girls of the same age in the village began to have matchmakers come to the door, and they didn't ruthlessly pick a passable family to marry their daughters, and as long as they could afford the money, they would dress up and send them out.
Yan Xia's family is not bad, Yan's father is not willing to marry his daughter who has not grown up now, but he has no money to go to school, so he is not sorry for the child when he takes him home as a laborer.
When Hao Gang arrived at the office, he saw Yan Xia's father shedding tears, and Li Laoban had a cold face next to him, watching this old man perform indifferently.
Hao Gang looked at Li Laoban and obviously asked: What's the matter?
"He wants to marry Yan Xia." Li Laoban said very coldly.
Hao Gang was surprised, didn't Yuan Yue say that he was just going home to work? I didn't say anything about getting married.
Sobbing and choking, Hao Gang slowly understood what Yan's father meant.
"If she doesn't want to, she won't marry, and I won't force her. Although that person is not very satisfied, he is a national person, he eats the national meal, and he goes to school to eat the national meal in the future. The family is like this, I don't force her to get married, but I have to go home to help, I have no money for her to go to school. "Dad Yan is also reasonable, at least at present, almost all rural people will agree with Dad Yan's way of living.
The old man in his forties cried with tears streaming down his face, Hao Gang didn't think he was performing, he could have the courage to send his children to school in the city, so that he wouldn't lose the child's future halfway when he encountered some difficulties, and there must be difficulties that Li Laoban didn't know.
"Who is that man?" Hao Gang asked.
Chu Xiaoyi, a worker at the Chengguan Town Cement Factory.
Because of the rapid development of the infrastructure industry, there are people everywhere who ask for cement, so the efficiency of the cement plant is very good.
Although Chu Xiaoyi has a disabled leg, he is sensitive and has a physical disability, so he is psychologically stronger than others. In the first two years, I taught myself the radio repair trade, and privately took on some work to repair radios and televisions, and I saved a lot of money, and I was considered a rich man among the employees.
In essence, Chu Xiaoyi can be regarded as a self-improving and motivated young man. As for marriage, no one pays attention to him in the factory, and he doesn't want what he can't look down on, and the second natal year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Yan Xia's matter, when it comes to the root cause, it is really related to Hao Gang.
At the beginning of Shilin clothing propaganda, Yan Xia, as one of the models, passed in front of the cement factory wearing jeans, and it was immediately imprinted into Chu Xiaoyi's eyes.
But Chu Xiaoyi knew his own conditions, and when he looked at a group of colorful girls, he didn't dare to step forward at all, so he could only look greedy.
The rabbits raised in Cuiping Township are famous, and during the Spring Festival, Chu Xiaoyi rode his beloved motorcycle to Cuiping Township, planning to get some rabbits for the festival.
In Cuiping Village, Chu Xiaoyi happened to see Yan Xia in a group of villagers with sad faces, the little girl looked at a few dead rabbits pitifully, crying so much that Chu Xiaoyi's heart was tightly grasped.
This is where the changes of the Yan family began.
After hearing clearly about the situation encountered in Cuiping Township, Chu Xiaoyi felt that he might have a chance, so he found someone to go to the door of the Yan family.
Putting aside the problem of legs and feet, Chu Xiaoyi's appearance can be regarded as positive, plus he is rich, Yan's father and mother don't feel that Yan Xia has been treated badly, and the neighbors are also envious that Yan Xia has found a good family, and everything starts to talk about marriage as a matter of course.
The only one who opposes is Yan Xia, but the biggest resistance she can do is to hide at home and cry.
Originally, all this would have been done unconsciously by Li Laoban and Hao Gang, and Yan Xia would also become a passerby in Hao Gang's high school life.
But the hurdle that can't be passed is that Yan Xia is not old enough, and now if she wants to stay at home, she must drop out of school first, which is the reason why Yan's father came to school today, and it is also the reason why Li Laoban spoke coldly.
In Hao Gang's memory, there are many big girls in the countryside who marry blind and lame old men in the city, not to mention that Chu Xiaoyi is only in his twenties, it is not uncommon for him to be in his forties.
If the man's family conditions are better, the rural girl is not beautiful, and the people in the city are still unwilling to meet.
This kind of thing is not uncommon now, and it will not be uncommon in the future. Now she is just a rural girl, and in the future, this road will be wider and wider by college students and big stars.
Objectively speaking, Yan Xia, as a rural girl, cannot be said to be the worst if she has this kind of fate, after all, it is much luckier to follow a rich and motivated man than to follow a scumbag who eats and waits for death. But Hao Gang was unwilling.
In Hao Gang's former life, this kind girl has always been like a ray of sunshine, warming her mind surrounded by thick darkness and indifference, so that she can occasionally think of it and look back at her former kindness.
In Hao Gang's mind, Yan Xia is one of the few people who can tell the truth, and he doesn't allow Chu Xiaoyi to block the ray of sunshine in his mind.
After listening to the old man's choked voice, Hao Gang knew it in his heart.
They are all poor, but as long as they can be solved with money, Hao Gang doesn't think it's troublesome.
Hao Gang said to the old man: "This dropout is not in a hurry in advance, whether you can return or not." ”
Hao Gang turned his head to look at Li Laoban, "Teacher, why don't I go to Yan Xia's house to have a look?" ”
Li Laoban still trusts Hao Gang very much, and this unconscious student always makes people feel at ease, "It's okay for you to go and see, whether you retreat or not, Yan Xia will come back to report to class first." ”
Although it is not good to find reasons to skip class all day long, he has always maintained the top ten in the grade, and at the end of the term, he has reached the top three, so what else is there to manage.
This class 6 of high school is really difficult to manage, all of them are so good, and they are so hardworking, half of their own classes are in the top ten of the grade, Fan Yuanyue and Zhang Huadong are still holding back their strength in the involution.
"What do you want me to do as a homeroom teacher?" Mr. Li's class thought in pieces, next time hang a photo of me in front of the classroom, I won't have to enter the class in the future.
When Hao Gang took Lao Xu and Li Qing to Yan Xia's house with twists and turns, Yan's father was standing in front of the door with a leaning man smoking.
Pointing his legs, young, and standing in front of Yan Xia's house, this should be Chu Xiaoyi.
Seeing Hao Gang coming with someone, Yan's father greeted him unnaturally.
Chu Xiaoyi was obviously hostile, but he seemed to recognize Hao Gang, and he didn't say anything bad, so he probably didn't dare.
Yan Xia heard Hao Gang's voice in the house, ran out as if fleeing for her life, and saw a group of people outside, so she didn't rush to Hao Gang's side.
A girl who looked very similar to Yan Xia ran out next to her, but she was a little older, and she wouldn't be Yan Xia's sister.
"Yan Xia, I'll take you back to school." Hao Gang said when he saw Yan Xia, ignoring the different eyes of Chu Xiaoyi and Yan's father next to him.
"She won't go, stay at home for a year, and when she is old enough, I will get a license to marry her." When it comes to his own vital interests, Chu Xiaoyi also has to come forward to entangle firmly.
"You don't count." Hao Gang squinted at Chu Xiaoyi, and his tone was obviously a little dissatisfied.
Dad Yan sighed and didn't speak.
