Chapter 31: I Didn't Mess With Any of You
Of course, this fee standard is not very high, and it can even be said that it is a conscience.
Pick it up in the morning and send it back in the evening, it's two trips a day. If you take classes five days a week, you have to pick up at least 20 days a month, and if you count it as four months in a semester, you have to pick up and drop off at least 160 times.
On average, the cost of a transfer is 3.7 yuan, which is a little more expensive than the bus.
You know, their village is ten kilometers away from the town center primary school!
Therefore, if you want to say that other people's schools are greedy, it seems that it is unreasonable.
Zhang Yaohua looked at the village director: "Director, whether you go to the central primary school or not, it shouldn't be mandatory, right?" Let's see if we can compromise! If you can't afford this expense, go to Shiraishi Elementary School. ”
This requires the village committee to communicate.
He will not blindly persuade the villagers to send their children to the central primary school, because the family is not wealthy, and the family with many children is really uncomfortable.
"Yes! Let's be free to choose. Some villagers immediately expressed their support for Zhang Yaohua.
The village chief pressed his hand a few times and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"The village committee tries to communicate as much as possible, so be it!"
There shouldn't be much of a problem at Baishi Elementary School, after all, this is its small branch, and it should accept students.
Zhang Yaohua walked home.
If nothing else, the village will be divided into two factions, one will send the children to the Central Primary School, and the other will go to the White Rock Primary School.
When the time comes, the children who go to study in the town will be embarrassed if their grades are poor, such as going to Baishi Elementary School.
After all, the family spent so much money to send you to a better school, and you didn't do as well as a student from a poor school who spent less money, what reason is there?
What people are most afraid of is comparison!
When I got home, my mother asked quietly, "How much does it cost?" ”
Last night, when they learned of the origin of the conch shell, the family was very surprised. Now I just want to confirm if it's really worth that much money.
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
As soon as these words came out, the adults in the room were all staring at each other, and they were speechless for a long time.
Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little shocked when I really sold for so much money. You know, it's just a conch shell!
"When will my eldest brother buy a car? It's better to buy one. Ah Zhen suggested.
It's not that she doesn't want to share her car with her eldest brother, but that the eldest brother wants to find a partner, and if she has a car of her own, the success rate will definitely be much higher.
Last time, didn't that woman just hate not having a car?
Mom subconsciously said, "What car to buy?" I have one at home. ”
"Mom! It's different, the eldest brother wants to find a partner and get married, and people will ask for this. Ah Zhen explained.
That's when my mother reacted.
The wind of asking for a car and a house is not blowing in the city, but also raging in the countryside.
Actually, there's not much to say.
Didn't there be any four major marriages before? The most famous is the "three turns and one ring", that is, bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios.
In the seventies and eighties, it was no less difficult to make up for "three turns and one sound" than it is now to ask for a car or a house.
"It's better than before, it's like now, I want this and that." Mom complained.
Zhang's father dismantled the stage and said: "When I married you, you also asked me to buy a bicycle and a sewing machine. ”
The mother turned her head to look at her husband, staring at it fixedly, not speaking.
Zhang Yaohua and the others in the room suddenly felt cold.
Zhang Yaowei and Ah Zhen's two in-laws hurriedly lowered their heads, did their own thing, and opened a grapefruit for everyone, and there was another one that Shui Wang hugged last time.
Zhang Yaohua picked up a cup of tea to suppress the shock, and said secretly: Dad's head is iron! Ask for more blessings!
Father Zhang's face froze, and he tried to force a smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Hehe, hehehe...... It was indeed easier to get married before than it is now. ”
My mother finally spoke and asked rhetorically: "Three turns and one ring, I only need half, is it more?" ”
Father Zhang smiled bitterly: "Not much, not much." ”
Seeing him admit it, his mother finally let him go, and sighed: "It's still your grandfather, or the two generations of your grandfather, or the two generations of your grandfather are the easiest to marry, a quilt, an enamel basin, and a warm pot or something is enough." ”
In the fifties and sixties, beds, pots, spittoons, and enamel washbasins were popular commodities for marriage.
By the seventies, the people began to demand as many legs as they wanted, and the more "legs", the more face. The so-called "legs" are the feet of furniture, such as large wooden beds, large wardrobes, square tables, chairs, and so on.
"There's no rush to get married." Zhang Yaohua said.
But this sentence immediately hit my mother's lungs.
She scolded: "What's not in a hurry? After this year, at the age of thirty-four, do you still think you are young? Your brother has three children, and your sister has a second child......"
The mother gave a long list of examples, which made Zhang Yaohua speechless.
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat." Mom turned her head and scolded Zhang Yaowei, who divided the grapefruit.
Zhang Yaowei: "......"
He probably thought to himself: First of all, I didn't mess with any of you.
"Reading less is not worry-free, and reading more is not worry-free."
In a word, Zhang Yaohua's two brothers are also connotated.
"Where are you going?" Mom's gaze shifted to Dad.
Zhang's father took Xuanxuan by the hand: "Go out for a walk." ”
It's better to escape and breathe, so as to save the fire from burning on yourself for a while.
Inside, everyone is at risk.
Zhang Yaowei's mobile phone rang at this time.
He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered: "Hey! The water is booming! Okay, I'll go find you, okay......"
Zhang Yaowei answered the phone and walked outside the house.
Shui Wang held his mobile phone and looked confused: I didn't ask you to come to me!
He didn't even say a word.
Lao Zhang took Xuanxuan by the hand and followed behind, the pace was a little hasty, I didn't know, I thought there was something urgent!
"Big brother, let me help you ask my former classmates!" Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Ah Zhen hurriedly said.
Who doesn't have a few classmates who aren't married?
Besides, the eldest brother's current conditions are not bad, and he is not an old classmate. If classmates also marry into this family, it will be easier to get along in the future, after all, they are acquaintances.
This can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, right?
Zhang Yaohua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I really don't need it, people who are too familiar are embarrassed." ”
"Awkward what embarrassment? People know you well? Mom said.
Then, she said to her daughter-in-law: "Ah Zhen, when will you call your old classmate over for a meal or something." It doesn't matter if you don't like it, just come and play for two days! ”
"Hmmm! I'm going to ask first, find out who is still single, and don't contact those with bad personalities. ”
At this moment, she is playing for real.
Mom nodded: "Yes, you have to have a good personality, and your appearance is not particularly important." ”
Zhang Yaohua wants to say: looks are very important.
What man doesn't want to find a beautiful wife?
are all men with golden fingers, and they still wronged themselves?
Personality and looks, can't you?
Soon, the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law began to discuss with great interest, and Zhang Yaohua couldn't interject at all, so he had to go back to his room.
