"Mom," Bai Liu heard a continuous call in his sleep and had to open his eyes.

"Hurry up, let's dig ginseng too."

Jelly Beans circled around the white willow, hurriedly urging her to hurry up the mountain.

Yesterday, I first went to the county to buy things and then picked up the educated youth, and when Bai Liu went home, it was already dark, and he took jelly beans back to his house after eating at his mother's house.

In the past, when Song Jiaying was still there, they rarely fired fires, and they all brought the grain and vegetables they received directly to the Bai family, and then went directly to eat.

Except for the occasional small stove for a family of three, there is rarely a fire at home in general.

Cooking is a very grinding thing, Bai Liu and Song Jiaying are not happy to be busy around the earthen stove, and after the two of them are combined, it is appropriate to go back to their parents' house.

Because of this, it left a bad reputation in the village.

They don't care, though.

Bai Liu's consciousness returned and sat up from the kang suddenly.

Tian Yu actually publicized the sale of ginseng?

She:???

Is Tian Yu crazy or is she crazy?

Jelly Bean continued to take her hand and said, "Mom, Xiaoyong wants to go to school, and Grandma Tian said it when she scolded him." ”

Bai Liu was not sleepy in an instant, and quickly packed up and ran to the front to watch the play.

The Tian family lives on the left side of the Bai family, and there is a lot of friction between the two families, and the two old ladies don't deal with each other, and they wait every day to see the excitement of each other's house.

She carried jelly beans and went directly through the back door of Tian's house, and went around to the front yard just to see her brothers and sisters-in-law lying on the wall watching the excitement.

"Come on," sister-in-law Huang Meiling asked Bai Liu to come to her side, "Aunt Tian is sitting on the ground, you came just in time." ”

Bai Liu looked at the wall, and Aunt Tian was full of soil.

Well, I guess just rolled around on the ground.

"Oh my God, no one in this family understands me, an old woman, I might as well die."

Bai Liu heard Aunt Tian howling like a singing, and almost couldn't help covering her ears.

It's too ugly.

But the play is still good-looking.

Aunt Tian sat on the ground and sprinkled, and the old and young of the Tian family couldn't sit still when they saw the lively people outside the wall and on the wall.

"What are you doing, what's going on in your own family, get up." Old man Tian roared.

Old Mrs. Tian saw that the old man was really angry, and simply stood up neatly: "Xiao Yong, this kid doesn't have this home in his heart." ”

"Our Tian family gives them a place to live, and if they have money, they don't want to give it to the public middle school."

Tian Yu lowered his head when he heard this, but grabbed his son Xiaoyong's hand tightly.

Bai Liu rarely didn't laugh when she saw this, she only felt that no matter what era, the most pitiful ones were orphans and widows.

After Tian Yu's man died, the two of them were driven back to their parents' house, but how could the Tian family tolerate them?

I used to barely be able to live, after all, relatives are this thing, seeing that you are pitiful, I will always give you a bowl of rice to eat and a bed to sleep on.

However, once the status of the two sides is reversed, it is inevitable that the mentality will be unbalanced.

According to her estimates, the ginseng that Tian Xiaoyong dug up can be sold for about 100 yuan.

A hundred dollars is a huge sum, and I am afraid that the remaining work of seven or eight strong laborers throughout the year will not be exchanged for fifty yuan.

"Grandma, grandma, don't scold, I'm willing to give half to the family!"

Tian Xiaoyong suddenly broke free of Tian Yu's hand and ran to the old couple of the Tian family to kneel.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows, this kid is a little interesting.

Old man Tian waved his hand again and again: "Grandpa can't ask you for money for a child, it's not easy for you and your mother, and the days will be long." ”

"Grandpa, it was you and grandma and uncles and aunts who took me and my mother in, and our money is the family's money!"

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for us, you and your mother would have starved to death." Aunt Tian hurriedly answered.

"What are you talking about, they are both so pitiful, how can we ask for money." Old man Tian looked angry.

Seeing that the old couple of the Tian family were still quarreling, Tian Yu also ran over and knelt down.

"Father, mother, it's all our fault."

"Grandpa and grandma, I don't want to study by myself, I want my brothers and sisters to study!"

When Bai Liu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"He's smarter than Tian Yu."

This kid takes retreat as advance, and wants fame and fortune.

She was not the only one who was shocked by Tian Xiaoyong's words, and there were also exclamations outside.

Huang Fenglai still holds a grudge: "The Tian family is a deflated calf, when I sent you to school, they talked nonsense, but now there are so many children in the family, I'm afraid I don't agree." ”

At that time, Bai Liu was a widow, and her father died when he caught the Japanese devils on the mountain, so he was considered a martyr, and the children could go to elementary and junior high school for free.

But Huang Fenglai also studied in private school for a few days when she was a child, and she knows how important it is to know how important it is to know how important it is.

Therefore, she told her children that she would provide for anyone who went to high school, and the family would pay for their education.

But it's a pity that only the eldest girl and the younger girl went to high school, and they have been buried by Old Man Tian's family for many years.

"Hey, you also know the conditions of our family, and the children also have to help the family, so I really don't have time for you to go to school." Old man Tian said with regret.

The Tian family has four sons and two daughters, and the son gave birth to another child, and now the family adds up to more than a dozen people, and there is no room for an idler.

Tian Xiaoyong obviously hasn't given up yet, he said eagerly: "We go to school during the day and work for the family after class at night." ”

"Grandpa, grandpa, we won't delay our work!"

No matter how he begged the two, Aunt Tian never expressed his position.

"This Aunt Tian is too, Xiaoyong is willing to pay for his own education." The third sister-in-law, Zhao Jinfang, muttered.

The conditions of the third sister-in-law's family are okay, she has read books for a few days before, and she has the confidence to speak at home.

Bai Liu touched the little head of Jelly Bean looking around, the new society is good, but it still can't break the patriarchy.

Don't look at how powerful Aunt Tian is, in fact, it is Old Man Tian who is in charge.

Tian Xiaoyong could understand better than Zhao Jinfang, an adult, and he kowtowed to Old Man Tian suddenly.

"Grandpa, please, I go to school with my second brother and third brother, and I will help them pay the tuition with their schoolbags."

Tian Xiaoyong was really pitiful, and the villagers who were lying on the wall and watching the excitement were talking.

"Xiao Yong's own money, and give it back to the Tian family to go to school, what a good child."

"There is a use in studying, it is better to work early, our croppers have a way of living for croppers, you see what is the use of Aunt Huang sending Bailiu to school."

White Willow: ???

She rolled her eyes and teased: "It's still wrong for other children's children to want to go to school with their own money, I said you don't care too much." ”

Suddenly, a chilling voice rang out.

"Of course it's right to go to school, the country has always been on the fence."

The noise was broken by an out-of-place voice, and everyone looked to where the sound had come from.

The man was dressed in a faded military uniform, with straight shoulders and back, apparently having worked in some kind of occupation.

Looking behind him, there was a little boy with a little girl in his arms.

Zhou Xiangnan?

Bai Liu suddenly became interested, and Zhou Xiangnan was still warm-hearted.

"The second child of the Zhou family?" Aunt Tian glanced at him, "If you are kind, you will provide Xiaoyong with education!" ”

Zhou Xiangnan frowned: "People can't be illiterate, and only by reading can they be rational and serve the people." ”

Bai Liu nodded, she agreed with this point of view.

But—

"You have a job and money, and you pay for him to study......"

Zhou Xiangnan's neck straightened: "If I come out, I will come out!" ”
