Chapter 15 Shigeta Joys and Sorrows

After the admission notice came down, Liu Maotian used a bamboo pole to hang the earth red with 200 rings in the courtyard.

The sound of crackling firecrackers made the whole village ask who was happy, and the confetti all over the ground also reflected Gerita's face.

This is the blessing of the ancestors! The old forest of the Liu family is smoking! Maotian pulled Liu Nian to kowtow to the old forest of the Liu family with the wine, and chattered a lot, Liu Nian stood from a distance and watched, for fear that his father would also pull him.

However, although Liu Nian had some jokes in his heart about the practices of the older generation, he did not stop them, as long as they were happy.

The next day, Li Guixi, an old man in the village, and Liu Jiyao, an accountant, walked into Liu Nian's house with a pink sheet.

"Three aunts! Three aunts! Liu Guixi called in the courtyard.

Maotian's wife hurriedly greeted her.

"Third aunt, there is another college student in your family, it's really gratifying!" Liu Guixi had exaggerated envy on his face. There are not many literate people in the village, and they say that they are college students.

Liu Maotian's wife was full of spring breeze: "Your children will also take care of going to school, and they will definitely be from Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future!" ”

"My kid is in charge, and in the future he can be admitted to Garreton University to study physics! Ay? What about Xiao Nian? Don't come out to greet them! "Squatting at home, tied in the house, Li Guixi joked.

"This kid, Sahuan is gone! Come in, come in and drink tea! Just standing outside," Liu Maotian's wife said as she opened the veil.

Maotian's wife let the village leader on the sofa, her tone changed, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Maotian! Hurry up and pour the tea! As he spoke, he picked up the cigarette from the table again: "Smoke and enjoy the cigarette!" ”

The two took the cigarette and put it in their mouths, and Liu Maotian's wife hurriedly helped light it.

Li Guixi stretched out his hand to stop: "Third aunt, I can't let you get tired, I'll come by myself." ”

"Okay, okay, let's do it ourselves." Shigeta's wife also lit a cigarette for herself.

Liu Maotian took the teapot, poured water, pulled over a small Mazha and sat on the side. Liu Maotian is not a sleek person, he doesn't know what to say when he encounters this kind of occasion, this kind of thing dealing with outsiders is his wife's master, and he is a follower. Liu Maotian is often ridiculed by his wife: "You are a bachelor behind the door!" Meat Eight Immortals! I also taught half a lifetime of learning, fart! ”

"Third uncle, it's still good for the Lin vein of the Kai family, the eldest uncle's family has two students, the second uncle's family has produced one, and the Kai family has produced two!" Li Guixi is sincerely envious, the three old brothers of the old Liu family are all students.

"Don't look at the old forest of the Liu family, don't look at it now, it turns out that all the cypress trees with thick bowls are planted, covering an area of acres, and the cranes often come to the forest!" When it came to Lao Lin, Liu Maotian said a little excitedly.

"In our village, there are old Liu Jiafa students! You see, the people who have been admitted to school in the past few years are actually the children of your Liu family. Liu Nian is out of the agricultural society! You don't have to repair the earth for the rest of your life! Li Guixi was still a little jealous in his heart, there was no way for his children to fight and skip school, and it was uncomfortable to think about it.

"What school did Liu Nian go to?"

"Jiyang Industrial School, learn electrician" Maotian's wife spoke empty, Maotian took out the admission notice from the drawer and handed it to Li Guixi.

"No! No! Tight fitters, slow welders, hung up swing dry electricians. "After all, Li Guixi is an old man who understands a lot.

Maotian and his family didn't know what it meant: "Is it good to be an electrician?" ”

"Of course! The electrician has nothing to do, and he still earns a lot of money, so how can he be called an electrician? ”

As soon as Li Guixi said this, Maotian and his family blossomed.

"Gossip less, get down to business! This time, Ji Yao and I came to congratulate on behalf of the village committee! This bed sheet, and this 200 yuan are the rewards given by our village," Li Guixi said as he took out the money.

Liu Maotian's wife took the money and said words of thanks while handing over the cigarette.

Li Guixi took the cigarette and continued; According to the regulations of our village, all students who are admitted to school will be harvested when the crops are harvested, and the land will be collected in the village, and the students in our village have always done this."

"Okay, take it all, what do people do, we can do too, we can't be an exception! As soon as the land is pumped, there will be only my own land left, and I will also end up briskly," Shigetian's wife replied happily.

"Okay, let's not sit down, there are still things to do in the village." Li Guixi stood up, and walked out as he spoke.

"Sit down again." Maotian's daughter-in-law is obviously not enough to share.

"No, the team is busy!"

Liu Maotian and his family hugged each other and sent the village leaders to the gate. 、

Looking at Li Guixi's distant figure, the two of them opened together.

"Why didn't the eldest girl give money when she was admitted to school?" Liu Maotian asked.

"Humph! The old feudal ideology is patriarchal. "Maotian's daughter-in-law hit the nail on the head.

Liu Maotian nodded.

"Let's this, tomorrow night, invite the old man and the accountant to dinner. People can afford us, and we have to meet us. Tomorrow you go to the town to buy some food, and there is no good wine at home, you are buying two bottles of good wine, and you are not enough to buy a few boxes of cigarettes. Liu Maotian's wife said.

"People are also invited to go to school, we can't make it decent, I'll pull a list of what dishes to buy." Liu Maotian said.

"The list is easy to pull, let's get ten dishes, chicken and fish are indispensable, I'm buying some beef, meatballs and vegetables, it's almost there." Maotian's wife said and found a pen and paper and handed it to Maotian.

"Ask Brother Xiaoqing and Brother Xiaoli to accompany you." Xiaoqing and Xiaoli are the children of Maotian's eldest brother and second brother respectively, Xiaoqing works in the town's industrial and commercial office, and Xiaoli is also a primary school teacher.

"I won't eat with me, just let Xiaoqing and his brother accompany me. Tomorrow you go from house to house to invite, and tomorrow night is set. Shigeda said.

"Usually gluttonous like that, you can't drink a meal! This person doesn't dare to go to the table when he eats, just like you, dog meat can't be on the table! Maotian's wife gave Maotian a blank look.

Maotian is in a good mood, and he is too lazy to quarrel with his wife today.

Early the next morning, Maotian went to the town to buy vegetables, and Maotian's wife invited guests from house to house.

"Guixi! A must come and eat in the evening! Everything else has to be pushed back! Don't forget! Maotian's daughter-in-law was extremely enthusiastic to let the village elder one.

"Don't worry, third aunt, I can't forget it, I must go, I must go!"

In fact, there is no need to say more, the village leaders are used to eating such a field, how can they not agree. Xiaoqing and Xiaoli are all good to say, just say hello to their families.

It was not dark yet, everyone had arrived, Maotian's wife was busy stir-frying, Maotian was fighting, and Liu Nian was playing while hiding.

As soon as two dishes were served on the table, the wine field began, except for a few polite words at the beginning, and later on the wine table, all the things in the village were talked about, as if there was nothing to do with Liu Nian.

The two brothers of Xiaoqing left the scene when they couldn't straighten their tongues when they drank the old man and Ji Hui.

Maotian's two families were already hungry in the middle of the night, and there were leftovers on the table, and there were leftover steamed buns in the frame, so let's make do with it.

"I just calculated the account, and it cost a total of 200 outcrops for tobacco, alcohol and food today, and 200 in the village, which is considered flat!" Shigeda said with his wine glass.

"What a flat head, a loser, happy event!" Maotian's daughter-in-law is full of spring breeze.

But the joy at the beginning has passed, and it is time to face reality.

Along with the offer slip came a list of fees.

Liu Maotian held the notice in his left hand and the charge slip in his right hand, and he couldn't laugh.

The various expenses add up to more than 6,000 yuan, where can I get it! Liu Maotian was really worried,

Over the years, I have saved more than 2,000 yuan, a big hole of three or four thousand. Mao Tian is thin-skinned and has such a large amount of money, Mao Tian feels that he can't talk to anyone.

Maotian's wife praised Maotian as usual. Mao Tian was anxious: "You have a law, you get it!" ”

Maotian's daughter-in-law also went directly to her mother's aunt's house, her aunt was a small bag foreman, and when she heard that it was money for school, she didn't say a word, so she took 4,000 yuan and handed it over to Maotian's wife.

The money for school is gone!
