Yang Xiaole rode on the road and rarely went to buy a newspaper.

I saw that half a page of the headline was written about this incident.

Put the newspaper away and go straight home.

"Oh, Xiaole is back! You kid is so bold, you dare to go to a place so far away in the northeast! ”

Just entered the compound, Aunt Zhao was picking vegetables, and shouted with a smile when she saw him.

Not only him, but several women in the compound were chatting around there!

My wife is also in it.

"Mother, I'm back."

came here and shouted at Wang Qiuju.

As for Aunt Zhao, she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, and Yang Xiaole smiled perfunctorily: "What's there to be afraid of, just ask if you don't understand on the road." Auntie, you're busy, I'll go back first. ”

After saying that, I came back with my things.

"You're busy, I'll go back first."

Wang Qiuju said to a few people, put down the vegetable washing basin and hurriedly followed.

After coming in, he asked with a crackling bang: "It's quite fast to come back!" How's your dad there? Have you given them everything? You haven't suffered any sin along the way, have you? ”

Yang Xiaole just put things down.

Hearing her words, he smiled and said, "I arrived in the afternoon, and he sent me away the next morning, for fear that I would stay there." ”

Then he asked curiously: "Didn't Dad say that he sent a letter!" When I left, he said to send you a telegram. ”

"Well, the letter is here, but there is no telegram!"

When Wang Qiuju heard the telegram, she was dazed.

Seeing the old lady's expression, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes, his father was scaring him again, and he really thought he had sent a telegram!

The telegram is very fast, sent the same day, and received the same day.

Is there no telegraph at the train station?

Impossible!

Then he said to her: "Dad has to send me to the train station, and he said that he misses you and sends you a telegram, I thought he sent it!" ”

Angry.

I knew that I would have gone to Hong Kong Island.

But it's okay, I want to go anyway, and I'll think of another way when the time comes.

These words made Wang Qiuju a little embarrassed, and glared at him with disgust: "What nonsense is the bastard talking about!" Safe on the road, right? Nothing happened, right? ”

"Hey, what else could happen! Good on the road! If there is something I don't understand, I'll ask Uncle Gong'an. ”

Then he looked around and asked, "Didn't you go to work today?" What about them? Went to learn something? ”

"Well, it's Sunday today, your eldest sister and the three of them have gone to study, your eldest brother and Lan Lan have gone out to play, and this guy Xizi doesn't know where to play. Leave him alone, he ran back when he was hungry. ”

After Wang Qiuju finished speaking, he looked at the sweat on his body, and hurriedly urged: "Okay, you have been on the train for so long." Hurry up and take a shower, there is a smell on your body. ”

Yang Xiaole sniffed the smell on his body.

This has already been calculated, and it has not been changed for a day, otherwise it will be too fake to come back cleanly.

Then he went into the house and found his toiletries, wore big pants, and took the basin to the sink.

Yang Xiaole took some cold water, came directly to the side, and began to wash.

A few of the women picking vegetables here didn't make a fuss either.

Sun Fu's daughter-in-law, Wang Li looked at him and asked with a smile, "Xiaole, how is that place?" I've heard that the grain grown over there has a higher harvest than ours without watering, right? ”

"My begonia said, it is written in the textbooks, what kind of roe deer can be hit with a stick, and there are fish under a scoop of water, is it really fake?"

Li Quanyou's daughter-in-law also chimed in.

Yang Xiaole took the soap on his body, and smiled when he heard the words: "Well, it's almost, there are quite a lot of things, but I can't catch it, there are reeds everywhere over there, swamps, and I can't pull it up when I go down." ”

The roe deer scooped the fish, and the pheasant flew into the rice pot.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, the products over there are indeed very rich, otherwise there would not be so many people who broke into the eastern part of the country when the Qing army sealed the customs and outside the customs.

It's just that the circle of people living now is so big, and they won't go deep into other barren places to find these things.

Because it comes at the cost of blood.

"Mom, that's scary!"

And Wang Qiuju was a little worried when she heard this: "Xiaole, is the place where your father and them work safe?" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole reacted, the old lady was still worried, and quickly explained: "Well, it's safe, they just work in the camp, and they don't go anywhere else." Rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaole, tell me what it's like over there?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole explained the general situation over there.

After taking a shower, I changed into a vest, big pants and sandals, and instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

However, it is now close to noon, and the sun is still very hot.

It's pretty cool in the house.

I sat there and poured a pot of tea and drank it there.

"Mother, I'm back, Yanyan will have dinner at our house at noon."

The voice of the eldest sister came from the door.

At the same time, the mother's voice of promise came. "Ang, got it!"

"Eldest sister, Jiang Yan!"

Seeing the two people come in, Yang Xiaole smiled and said hello.

Since the eldest sister went to learn the piano, Jiang Yan occasionally came over, but the number was very small.

"Xiaole? Are you back? How can it be so fast? How's Daddy over there? ”

The eldest sister saw that he was back and hurriedly inquired there.

Yang Xiaole naturally had to repeat it again.

After speaking, after that, looking at Jiang Yan's reluctant smile and red eyes, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Is something going on? ”

As soon as he came in, he had already seen it.

And the eldest sister didn't smile.

Hearing this, the eldest sister said indignantly: "Yanyan's mother said that she should be admitted to the secondary school when she takes the high school entrance examination, and she will not be allowed to go to high school." ”

Then he complained there: "Yanyan's grades are so good, she is the first in the grade, and the teachers have said that as long as her grades do not decline badly in the future, she will definitely be admitted to university." It's too much. I just want her to go to work early. ”

Yang Xiaole didn't rush to answer when he heard this.

I went and took two cups, poured a cup of cold boiling, and pushed it to two people: "Okay, drink some water first." ”

"Yeon-yeon, come, drink some water!"

The eldest sister pushed the water cup, Jiang Yan nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip.

Watching the two of them drink water, Yang Xiaole pondered there.

In fact, he had already guessed it, and he had vaguely heard the eldest sister say it before.

After all, it's not biological, and there are always some gaps.

If you go all the way to university, you have to provide for at least eight or even nine years.

If it's a secondary school, plus the third day of the first year next year, it will be out in four years, and after it comes out, it will be a cadre, which is already good among women in this era.

It's good if the Jiang family doesn't have a son.

Now that I have my own son, I have to plan for my own child!

At present, there are subsidies for teachers and agricultural secondary schools, and there is no tuition and miscellaneous fees, and there is also a subsidy of 9 yuan. (Other majors don't.) ）

There is a lot less money outside here.

Not only him, but even his eldest sister has been thinking about how to deal with it!

Now the eldest sister's grades and Jiang Yan's two often rotate first, and they are also very good, according to the normal trajectory, college students are not a big problem.

Now let her not go to high school and go to secondary school, she will definitely not be able to accept it.

He's still thinking about how to get it.

As for giving her well water, he has no regrets about this, because there are too many infectious diseases in this era, and he doesn't want his family to have a headache today and a cold tomorrow.

That's too disturbing.

Listening to the eldest sister muttering there, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment, and then asked Jiang Yan, "What do you think?" ”

But after saying that, I feel like I'm talking nonsense.

What can Jiang Yan do if she has no income?

But then the eldest sister's words surprised him.

"Yeon-yeon is going to high school!"

"Huh?"

This made Yang Xiaole puzzled.

"Oops, that's ............"

Seeing this, the eldest sister explained there.

After listening to it for a while, Yang Xiaole understood.

Jiang Yan is no longer as weak as before, and she argues with her stepmother.

I still have to go to high school.

Later, she went to the neighborhood committee to paste cardboard boxes to earn money to go to school, and she also promised not to delay her family work.

After Yang Xiaole listened, he didn't say anything.

Courage is commendable, but the reality is still cruel.

Now there are so many people who don't go to work, how can there be so many cardboard boxes to paste, and there is no work if you do it.

It's not a matter of one year or two.

Why bother!

There is a saying that the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

The first semester of high school is 6 yuan for tuition and fees, and it does not include pen, ink, paper and other things. The annual consumption is close to about 20 yuan.

It's not that easy to earn.

He is not short of money, the problem is that he can't always say, "You go to school, I'll give you the money!" ”

That's.

"Oh, don't be sad, when you go to college and become a cadre, they will regret it."

Looking at the comforting eldest sister, she thought for a while and asked, "What do you say later?" Even if the tuition fee is earned, what about the living expenses!! ”

"Oh, her mother said, junior high school is still the same as before, for her to go to school, if she can solve the tuition fee for three years of high school by herself, then give her it."

After listening, Yang Xiaole patted his head.

Finished.

The eldest sister, like Kiko, also came to pit him.

Don't think about it, the eldest sister will definitely lend it to her.

Since she has a lot of money in her hands, she often secretly gives her some pocket money, which she didn't save before, but she has been secretly saving since last year.

I don't count the specifics, but there are still dozens of dollars.

In addition to Xiaoli, even Kiko, he will give him a few cents a month for pocket money.

Sure enough, I heard the eldest sister muttering and persuading there: "Okay, didn't I tell you on the way?" Don't be in a hurry to pay it back, if I need it urgently, you can find a way to return it to me. All right? ”

Jiang Yan shook her head there: "No need, I'll figure it out myself." Thank you. ”

"Ahem~~"

Yang Xiaole coughed lightly.

Seeing this, the eldest sister turned her head and glanced at him: "What's wrong?" Is your throat uncomfortable? You don't have a cold, do you? ”

Hearing this, he rolled his eyes: "No! ”

After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

said in his heart, Jiang Yan, if it is placed in the future life, it is indeed the type he likes.

That tranquil atmosphere made him feel very comfortable.

The key is......

This girl is as old as him, and her mental age is enough, but Jiang Yan is still too young, and she really doesn't feel it now!

A few dozen dollars didn't matter to him.

In fact, the main reason is because Jiang Yan had the same experience as him in his previous life, and he also came out of an orphanage.

He actually subconsciously wanted to help.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, do you still have time to learn violin in the future?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were entangled for a while.

If Jiang Yan really does this, then there will be no time to learn from Xiaomention, if she doesn't learn, the eldest sister will naturally not follow behind.

The eldest sister shrugged: "I don't know! Maybe I won't learn it. Let's see! When the time comes, we'll go to the Children's Palace and eavesdrop. ”

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Didn't care.

"Xiaomei, do you have a look at Wowotou? Okay, take it out and steam it in a pot. ”

In the middle of my thoughts, the voice of the old lady came from outside.

Hearing this, the eldest sister hurriedly stood up: "Hey, come on~"

I washed my hands and ran to the stove to look.

At noon, it is steamed in one pot for more than a few points, and in the evening, it can be eaten when it is hot, so it is not so troublesome.

"Drink some water! Is there anything you'd like to ask? ”

Yang Xiaole looked at Jiang Yan's tangled expression and looked at him from time to time, feeling that she might have something to say.

At the same time, he gestured to the cup in front of her.

Jiang Yan glanced at the eldest sister who was busy outside, entangled for a moment, and said slowly in a low voice: "Actually...... I just want to ask, how do you make money? Go to the black market? ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't answer her.

Instead, he just looked at her.

She grew up in an orphanage all the year round, and although she is not very old, she has long learned to read words and feelings.

hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, your sister didn't tell me anything, I guessed it myself!" ”

"Guess it yourself?"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yan nodded lightly, looked outside again, and then continued: "Xiaomei told me about the situation in your family, and they know about your sister's violin learning, but they don't know that she bought a violin, which means that your father and mother don't know, and your eldest brother pays his salary every month." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "You used to bring something to your sister to eat, and she said it, but the family didn't know." She didn't say how you got it, but I ......."

After listening to this, Yang Xiaole did not answer in a hurry.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Jiang Yan, let me ask you something, do you know that there are three adult training universities in the west of our city?" One is the Josai Cadre Amateur University, the other is the Josai Medical Amateur Medical College, and the other is the Josai Workstation of Kyoto Radio and Television University, have you heard of these? ”

(These three weren't made up!) A page of adult higher education from the local chronicles of the western district of Sijiu City. ）

Jiang Yan shook her head blankly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Of these three schools, two were established in '58 and one was established in the first half of this year, and they are only for institutions, enterprises, factories and mines."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he continued: "Actually, my personal suggestion, you don't have to go to college, with your intelligence, after graduating from secondary school, you can sign up for these three schools. ”

For his eldest sister's future work, he also inquired a lot.

It's just to find an excuse to convince the eldest sister.

These three schools only recruit students from social units, and Jiang Yan doesn't know and understands.

In his subconscious, he still hopes that Jiang Yan can go to secondary school, and he will not have to go to the mountains and countryside in the future.

These words made Jiang Yan's eyes light up: "You tell me." ”

At this point, she had put aside the idea of making money.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said about the situation: "These three universities are also divided into full-time and night colleges, but if you are full-time, you must be a commission trainee recommended by the unit, and you will study with a salary subsidy, which is a bit difficult, of course, if you have the ability to get the quota of commission trainees, it is the best." You don't have to go to work to get paid, and you can go to class with peace of mind.

As for what I just said, I am a little tired, I have to take the exam, I can only study after I am admitted, and I have to complete the assessment to get my university diploma after graduation. It's just that the course will be very tiring. ”

In fact, it is an adult university.

However, at this time, there is not much difference between adult universities and ordinary universities.

Not only that, there is almost no big gap between the universities in these years, on the contrary, the famous Peking University is not as good as some universities in the northwest in this era.

A junior college can be called the era of college, and after graduating from this university, it is naturally the same treatment in the unit.

These words made Jiang Yan's eyes light up.

"Really? Where to ask? ”

Yang Xiaole smiled: "You go and inquire, the cadre amateur university is at No. 22 Nancaochang Street, this is the most suitable for you, and when you graduate from secondary school, you are also a cadre, and you can also be admitted to this university." ”

After Jiang Yan listened, her face was happy.

There I thought.

"What are you talking about? So happy? ”

After the eldest sister got it done, she came in wearing an apron and smiled, and asked when she saw Jiang Yan's expression.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan stood up directly: "Xiaomei, I'll go back first, there are still things, I'll come back to you in the afternoon." ”

"Huh? What are you doing? It's good to eat in a while! ”

"Something, I'll come to you in a moment!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Seeing her leave the eldest sister in a hurry, she turned her head to look at him and asked, "What did you tell her?" She's so happy! ”

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "Wait a while, won't you know when she comes back!" ”

Hearing this, the eldest sister looked him up and down and muttered, "When did you two have a little secret?" ”

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Looking at the back of the door that had left, pondering there.

He was right, and he wasn't lying, the problem is that the adult college exam at this time is not at all easier than the normal university exam.

Normal college full-time, night college only a few hours in the evening study.

You can imagine how difficult and stressful it can be.

However, he felt that with Jiang Yan's temperament, he would choose this path.

In this way, after graduating from secondary school, working for two years, just turning a regular, the special era is coming, and there is no need to study.

The eldest sister looked at him and ignored herself, pouted, and went to work outside, and it will be clear when the people come back and ask!

Seeing the eldest sister leaving, Yang Xiaole also wanted to use the same method.

Then I thought about it and forgot it.

Jiang Yan and the eldest sister's situation is different after all.
